Tax
Continued from Page One

Earlier. Paul had asserted
that outright forgiveness of 1912
income taxes. as proposed In the
Ruml pay-as-you-go plan, would
set off an initiation spiral that
m 6 h bring widespread de-
mandS for wage increases. He
expressed favor for the Treas
ury proposal for a withholding
tax of 19 per cent on income at
the source.
The Treasury plan, Paul said,
would provide a safeguard
against initiation and would con-
tribute to sterilization of war
time wages.
Though Paul did not elabor-
ate on the idea of moving 1912
taxes TO 1941 bases and rates,
some committee members said
they assumed that under such a
plan, there would be a doubling
up in taxes for some tax payers,
They said they thought taXpay-
ers would have to pay their 1912
taxes, at the lower rates, at the
same time that deductions were
being made to apply against
1913 taxes next year.
While opposing any outright
forgiveness of all 1912 income
taxes in attaining a current pay
ment basis, the Treasury official
indicated the administra o n
might support skipping of 1912
taxes in the lower bracket.
Some Ways and Means mem
bers are advocating the abate-
ment of last years six per cent
normal and thirteen per cent
first bracket surtaX, to accom-
plish transition to pay-as-you-go.
The first bracket includes ST.
900 Of net taxable income.
Treasury officials and mem
bers of the Congress, however
repeatedly are emphasizing that
income tax returns for 1912
s h oul d be filed as usual by
March IS, pointing out that any
legislation providing for for
giveness Of any part Of such
taxes would provide for rebates
where necessary.

Sea-War

OF having sunk two battleships
and three cruisers and of having
damaged another battleship and
cruiser were grossly exagger-
ated." At the same time he des-
cribed as an understatement the
Japs' claim of having lost only
~ planes.
LIMITS NOT CLEAR
While the LIMITS of the battle
zone were not clearly defined,
the Navy said that the extent
and fury Of the Japanese actions
indicated that a concerted new
effort to regain control Of the
southeast Solomons had been
undertaken. A Toxic report
broadcast Monday fixed the
scene of one action as the vicin-
ity of Kennel Island, about 100
miles south of Guadalcanal. but
that was without confirmation.
The japanese said the Kennel
engagement was fought Friday
and Saturday, but this too lack
ed confirmation, information
fl ON American sources being
only that series of air and sea
fights had been under way for
several days.

NEGRO SENTENCED
FOR TIRE THEFTS
Fitzhugh Barnhill Given
Two-Year Sentence
By Recorder

Fitzhugh Barnhill, Negro, was
sentenced to a total of two years
on the roads by Recorder H.
Winfield Smith Tuesday after
noon after the Negro had been
found guilty of the theft of two
automobile tires.
He appealed the verdict to SUI
perior court.
Arrested by Police Officer E. B.
Red" Murray, Barnhill was
charged with stealing two tires,
one valued at $40 and one at SIS,
from automobiles parked in a To-
cal garage.
Charged with operating a BIZ
cycle under the influence of in
toxicants, S. L. Bell pleaded guilty
to public drunkenness and was
fined the costs of court.
George Mussey, Negro, waived
preliminary examination on
charges of the theft of 1922 from
the office of James Walker Me-
mortal hospital and was bound
over to superior court under $3.50
bond.
Hospital employees claimed that
Hussey entered the office to secure
wages due him when he quit. When
the office assistant left to obtain
the pay envelope, it is charged that
Hussey reached across the desk
and raked the cash out of the
drawer.
Mrs. T. a. montgomery, 172l
Orange street, declared that she
and her husband witnessed the
theft as they stood on the porch
OF the house opposite the hospital.
PFC. Edmond szaralajeski of
Camp Davis explained that he saw
Hussey running down the hospital
corridor.
The case of Wilmar Latham,
white man, charged with citing
large sums of money from eating
establishment operators on the pre-
tense of purchasing beer for them,
was continued until October IL.
Charges have been preferred
against Latham by Nick Povlos,
who allegedly gave the man $625
for beer on August II; Constantine
Maveoninalas of the Olympia cafe,
who allegedly handed Latham ST.
250; and a third victim who de-
clared that he had been duped out
of 81, 100. All three operators stated
that they received no word from
Latham since the date on which
the money was paid him.

Paddison Pretlow Defends
Firm Against Recent
Allegation

Taking exception to an article
from the weekly mimeographed
sheet issued weekly by the State
OPA office for the information OF
price panels, written by Richard
Kostka, senior price officer and
apparently directed at him, Pad
Olson Pretlow. operator Of the
Friendly cafeteria and restaurant
here, issued full statement Tues
day night.
The text of his statement:
1T is a shocking thing for the
average, small town business man
to discover the attitude of such
governmental agents as Richard
Kostka, senior price officer OF
the OPA in Raleigh toward him
an6 his problems.
my comments on fresh vege.
table prices here were made in
all sincerity. They were not given
to the Star-News for publication
until weeks after they had been
made to local OPA officials and
to Mr.. Roberts of the state Of
flee.
Instead of an Investigation Of
my report, or even a factual de.
NAL of it, my firm and I were
Iiven a doWn-t he-nose treatment
of threats and sophomore wit.
We are threatened with Mr..
Whiskers"- term, I understand,
that criminals use in referring tc
the FBI-and are charged with
buying our vegetables on a black
marke,. Finally, Mr.. Kostka has
quite a bit to say about our sani-
tary rating. That this rating has
technical base known to the
Health Department and our Gus
toners is beside the point. The
point is that the Health Depart
ment's rating is no more Mr..
Kostka's business than the num-
Der of automobiles - if any-he
owns is ours.
1--WE buy our fresh vegetables
on the farmers curb market here
in Wilmington. 1t is black only
in that most of the produce there
is sold before sunrise. So far we
have not seen any OPA officials
down there that early.
Men in Mr.. Kostka's own Of
flee and officials of the local OPA
know that our firm has done every
thing in it's power to cooperate
with the rationing program. Last
spring it voluntarily turned over
it's records to aid in exposing a
black market dealer who posed as
a farmer. For Mr.. Kostka's infor-
nation that man was recently Of
fering us meat.
cit is bad enough to pay taxes
for civil servants who dictate ra-
the than serve. We put up with
it because we, too, know that there
is a war. We have, possibly, as
much of stake in victory as
has Mr.. Kostka.
