gency wartime powers.
 Moving with unprecedented speed, the legislature broke tradition in as- signing the hearing on these two bills for next Tuesday. Usually, sev- eral weeks are allowed to pass before 8 hearing is held. Now, 8 meeting was summoned before the judiciary even had time to meet and organ ize.
 In connection with the judiciary committee, legislators were still talking about the rebuff given Dem- ocratic Senate Minority Leader Leon Riscassi, Hartford.
 Sen. Riscassi was not named to the judiciary committee according to precedent, and the man he de- feated for minority leader, Sen. AL bert L. Coles, Bridgeport, was ap- pointed to the committee in his place. Riscassi did not conceal his chagrin over the rebuff.
 Sen. Coles, it appeared, now will be the Democratic senate spokes- man on all judiciary bills. The next two weeks att he legislature will be devoted mainly to the business of receiving new bills. The assembly will meet three days next week, and four the following week. The dead- line for introduction of new busi- ness is Jan. p.
 It was expected the judiciary com. mittee, following the hearings on the emergeYlcy war bills next Tues day, will hold a quick consultation on the measures. and then send them to the house and senate with favorable reports. Leaders there may call for suspension of the rules and passage of the measures al- most immediately.
 Meantime, another gubernatorial measure, a bill defining the duties of the State Defense Council and giv- ing the administrator certain specific additional powers, was introduced in the senate and sent to the military affairs committee. It will be intro- duced in the house next Tuesday.

up with heavy explosions.
 Allied bombers scored hits on a depot at Tunis during the night, Wednesday and Thursday, and started big fires at Sousse, where an Axis ship was reported hit. Lampedusa Island, between Malta ard Tunisia, was attacked by bomb CTS seeking to knock out the airfeld
 Inasmuch as Allied fighters ma- ch'ne-gunned the Afrlka IKorps 40 miles east of Tripoli, 1t seemed evil dent that Marshal Erwin Rommel would not try to make stand any where to the east.
 Radio Vichy, controlled by the Germans, said there was "excep- tional activity" by Lieut.. Gen. Ber- nard L. Montgomery's British Eighth Army near Misurata, 12O miles east of Tripoli.
 Radio Paris quoted German re- ports that British troops had con- tacted Italian and German forces at several points along the Gulf of Sirte, just below Misurata, and said Tt may mean the beginning of a new offensive by Montgomery"
 The London Daily Mail said the Axis had reported a large-scale British attack in Tunisia, but the Axis claimed, as usual, that 1t was ''repulsed."
 Allied forces in Tunisia were ex- pected to open an immediate drive to hurl the Germans and Italians from pass that dominates the ap- breaches to Mateur, and to the naval base of Bizerte, 25 miles to the northeast.
 However, well informed sources here believed 1t would be a consid- erable time before the Allied Forces in Tunisia were able to start a full offensive. They said the Allies just did not have what 1t takes yet.
 Bombed in Libya
 More importance was attached to the note in the Cairo communique that retreating Axis transport was being bombed in Libya.
 Military quarters saw signs that the Afrika Korps was about to abandon the Wadi Zelmzem line and was getting out Its base supplies. They believed that when the Britt ish Eighth Army made Q new attack in force. 1t would find that the Ger. mans had repeated their tfctics far- thar Eask and retreatad ahead 0l

out of pocket that money for good.
 ThOWS Un Hands

ThOws Up Hands
 When 8 series of involved ques. tions were put to him, MT. Roose. welt threw up his hands.
 One questioner pointed out that the working of such @ system would mean that there would be no in. come taxes to be deducted from estates at the death of a taxpayer, and that the loss through the for giveneSS system would reflect itself then. MT. Roosevelt declined to enter 8 detailed discussion of this point, saying 1t was problem of the future.
 The six new Democratic mem- bers of the House Ways and Means committee expressed a willingness and desire to investigate the vari- ous pay-as-you-go proposals soon. None opposed the idea.
 Most of the old members of the committee, including Chairman Robert L. Doughton, D., N. C., have endorsed payment of taxes on 8 current basis and House Republi- can Leader Joseph w. Martin, IT,, of Massachusetts, included 1t among his party's objectives in the new Congress.
 The first of an anticipated series of pay-as-you-go bills was intro- duced in the Senate yesterday by Sen. Arthur Capper, R., Kans. It appeared to embody most of the so-called Rulnl plan, calling for monthly collection of income taxes starting March IS on the basis of 1922 income. The payments, how ever would be credited to taxes due on 1948 income and would be ad- iI'sted in March, 1944, with the filing of . return covering that year.
 Support Strong
 There is strong support for such a plan in general throughout the Senate. Chairman Walter F. George, D., Ga, of the Senate Finance com- mittee, said earlier this week that some form of pay-as-you-go must be the basis for any new tax pro- gram. t'
 Rep. Walter A. Lynch, D., N. Y., a new member of the committee, objected to permanently" skipping a years revenue as suggested by the Rurnl plan. He suggested that taxes for the forgiven" year might be worked out over @ period of years to avoid hardship on the tax payers" Lynch considered the pay as-you-go proposal "the most in1- portant thing we have before us."
 Rep. A. J. Forand, D., R. l., also 6 new member of the committee, said q want to study the Ruml plan before commenting. But I am open minded. I think we should give 1t swift and thorough consid- eration." ,tG

Ask Negro
FEPC Head

New York, April II amp Sug-
gestion that a qualified Negro be
given consideration for the chal--
n.anship of the FEPC was made N
a letter dated April s. to MARROW
er Car Paul V. McNutt from s..
Clair Bourne. well known New
York Negro newspaperman.
Bourne sent the letter to McNutt
following revelation that Oscar
Chapman assistant secretary OF the
interior. had refused an offer OF
the FEPC craftsmanship.
The letter suggested that appar-
ent confinement Of the search for
a chairman thus far to members OF
he white race could be viewed as
discriminatory in itself. further
expressed the opinion that a auai.
fled Negro could function in the
position as well as anyone else.

WANTS MILLION NEGRO
WOMEN ON THE r

Washington, DC.,-A letter has
been received by a government a.
gency in washington from a white
man in Mississippi urging that a
million Negro women be forced TO
work on farms.
The writer says, Some of the
best farm labor we have in the
South is Negro women. i be-
Iieve that if there could be found
some formula for getting these
idle Negro women out of the cit
les and towns and putting them to
work on the farms they would be
healthier, happier and would grow
Some mighty good food crops.
They are equal to almost anything
but blowing. ditching and telling
trees"
The writer complains that at
present these women will not
work and states that he does not
think they are lazy but are examp-
les of the Negroes natural disin-
~clination to do anything"
It was pointed out here that
this suggestion is a sample of what
would happen to Negroes if the
Austin Wadsworth forced labor
bill were passed by Congress.
