"in my judgment all favor some
plan along the line as suggested by
Mr.. Ruml." He took issue with the
Treasury's contention that the Ruml
plan is "a rich mans plan," saying
its every mans plan, poor as well
as the rich-and the Government
would he the principal beneficiary"
Representative Bennett, Repub-
lican, of Missouri similarly ex-
pressed the view that the seven Re-
publican members from Missouri
would support the idea of bypass
ing one tax year.
A prominent Republican, who
asked that his name not be used,
predicted the House would adopt
the plan, that strong Republican
support will be thrown behind it
and for every Republican vote we
lose we will pick up two Demo-
Gratis" There are now 222 Demo-
Gratis to 200 Republican Representa-
tives
Some talk was heard that a pc
tition might be circulated to dis
charge the Ways and Means Com
mittee from consideration of the
bill embracing the Ruml plan and
thus bring it up for immediate
consideration in the House.
Leading supporters of a modified
form of the Ruml proposal ex-
pressed confidence the necessary
2l8 names could be obtained on
such a petition, but discouraged this
method of bringing the legislation
into the House.

0uf-of-Town Boards
Blamed for Deferrinq
Federal Employees
Leohy Welcomes Probe;
Says D. c. Organization
Is Not to Blame

Responsibility for deferment OF
Federal employees was placed
squarely in the lap of out-of town
local boards today by william f
Leahy, District Selective Service
director. with the disclosure that 10C
men a day are being routed through
the Districts Board of Transfers.
Asserting that he would welcome
the investigation of District Selec-
tive Service ordered by a subcom-
mittee of the House Military Affairs
Committee yesterday, Mr.. Leahy
pointed out that the large number
of transfer cases clearly indicated
that many draft eligibles in the
Government are registered with anc
classified by local boards in their
home communities and not by Dis
trict draft boards.
Handles 10000 Cases.
The Board of Transfers. known
as Local Board 15-A. reported that
it had handled 10000 cases since
last April, the majority being
white collar workers in Government
agencies. The transfer office, II
was explained. has nothing to dc
with the classification of the regis
trants. but merely arranges fol
their physical examination and in
duction at the request of local
boards in other States.
Mr.. Leahy recalled that at the
time Senator Tydings, Democrat, OF
Maryland made his report on the
thousands of Federal workers de-
ferred from the draft last fall, he
had the District files examined for
deferred Federal workers and found
only few.
Doubts 10 Pet. Are Granted.
On deferments in general. Mr.
Leahy said he didn't believe 10 per
cent of those who request occupa-
tional deferments have their re-
quests granted. Occupational de-
ferments took in more than 3 per
cent of the District registrants at
one time, he reported, but reclassi-
flcations have cut the percentage
down materially.
Replacement schedules, providing
for the orderly but continual with
draWal of workers from Offices here
are now in widespread operation, in
Guiding the Navy Yard and the Cap
ltal Transit Co., he said.
Men registered with District
boards who are now being granted
occupational deferments are either
in activities where a critical short
age exists or are irreplaceable in
essential activities, Mr.. Leahy said

is broad plateau that presents an
open field for tank fighting.
In the Berber language the name
Thala means fountain or source. The
Berbers, who make up a large pro-
portion of the highland population
of TuniSia, are native to North
Africa. Berber tribes, scattered from
Egypt to the Atlantic, have lived in

chiefly by cereal growing and little
sheep raising. In the general neigh

Where They Are Fighting
From the National Geographic Society

The now repulsed German drive
for Thala, in West-Central Tunisia,
has given prominence to an insig-

Thala is on no railway. The 6-mile
motor road that leads to 1t from the
nearest rail line continues on the
other side Of the line as mere trail.

Strong COP Support
For RumI Tax Plan
Gathers in House
All Republicans on
Ways and Means Group
Voted for Pay as You Go
the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Advocates Of the Ruml plan
were cheered today as strong Re-
publican support appeared to be
gathering behind the proposal to
abate all of one years individual
income taxes to put taxpayers on
a pay-as-you-go basis.
An informed Capitol Hill source
said that when the House Ways and
Means Committee passed on a mod
ifled form of the plan originated
by Beardsley Ruml, chairman of
the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, all 10 Republican committee
men voted for it.
However, the plan was put aside
for the time being when the Is
Democrats on the committee voted
against it. The vote was taken last
Friday in secret session, but not
disclosed until yesterday.
The committee rejected all pend
ing pay-as-you-go proposals, in
| cluding the modified Ruml plan
and turned over to a subcommittee
the job of drafting compromise.
Representative Carlson, Repub-
lican, of Kansas has modified the
Ruml proposal to provide that each
taxpayer would remit on the one
of the two years, 1912 or 1943. in
which he had the largest taxable
income. The original Ruml plan
provided directly for by-passing the
1912 tax year.
Reports circulated that the Re-
publican members of some State
delegations, including New Jersey
and Missouri. might vote solidly for
/ the Ruml proposal when the tax
/ legislation comes up in the House
