INCOME LIMITATION

Ordinarily the attaching irrelevant riders to inn
portont LEGISLATION to force the content Of the riders
post impending presidential veto must be condemn
ed as vicious.
The rider which Representative Disney Of Okla
hoo has tied to his bill increasing the statutory debt
limit does not fall into this class because the peculiar
history of the Presidents SIS 900 salary elimination
edict
Disneys rider would revoke the Presidents order,
and would substitute for it Congressional decree
limiting upper bracket salaries to their prePeor or-
Dor tops.
This rider differs because it does not represent q
Congressional attempt to circumvent the Presidents
veto power On the contrary it method Of prevent
ing the President from enoctine onenon law
what Congress refused to accept.
Or let's put it another way 1t is on attempt to pre-
vent onethrd the membership Of single house from
enoctina law for which majority could not be OBJ
toined.
IF the Disney repeater we're passed separately and
sent to the White House, it would be vetoed There
upon one.thrd vote in either house would sustain the
veto. This would have the effect Of validating
ecutve statute which could not have been put through
Congress in the democratic manner.
twoud, in foot permit the President and 33 Sen
otors, for example, to poss law whioh-to toke an
extreme possibty-wos opposed violently by So
Senators and all ABS Of the Representatives, not to
mention the public.
This discussion has nothing to do With the respec-
tive merits of the Roosevelt approach to limitation
and the Disney approach. It happens that we prefer
the Coneressmons idea. Of the two though we lean
to the theory that limitation should be through erod
uoted income taxation rather than by fiot Of any
body.
The Presidents class appeal, contrasting $780,
600 year with $50 month, leaves US cold. He
would be more impressive if he to single
$500 OOO-o-yeor beneficiary remembering that it is
the net which counts and that hoIf-mon-door
executive would pay $685. 28O income tax at the
current schedule, which will be exceeded next year.

Now Stone knew that West
originally held four clubs, so he
passed this trick. A club was
returned by West, which Stone
won. He could count four club
tricks, a diamond, two hearts
and a spade-eight tricks, not
enough to make his contract.
At this point he played small
spade to the ace and led the ten

so Stone let it ride and then fin
essed the nine of hearts, which
gave him nine tricks.

Mr.. Henderson made public a

Mr.. Henderson wrote Gov Jones
that:
The plain purpose Of your letter
is to influence our local boards tc
omit the careful balancing of in
terestS required by the regulations
and to issue gasoline coupons where
the particular facts may not justify
the action.

.CogsweII Studies
Changes in Local
Rent Regulations
Bon on Sole Of Homes
For Purpose Of Evicting
Tenants Mentioned

Rent Administrator Robert F.
Cogswell said here today that
changes in local rent regulations,
suggested by the Office of Price Ad-
ministration, were being studied, but
indicated that no immediate changes
in rent control were contemplated.
Paul A. Porter, deputy OPA di-
rector in charge of the national rent
control program. said yesterday that
representations" had been made to
the local organization on certain
phases Of its administration.
He mentioned the possibility Of
Tightening up local regulations pro-
hibiting sales of houses for the pur-
pose of evicting tenants.
Mr.. Cogswell said that some rec
concentrations concerning this had
been received from the OPA. but
contended that the local law was ef-
fective as it stood
Registration System Seen Adequate.
Mr.. CogsWell likewise took the DO
siJion that the present system of
rent registration in the District was
adequate Mr.. Porter had indicated
yesterday that this was possible
weakness in the District system.
The local rent administration was
set up before OPA authorities
stepped in to regulate rents nation
ally. Mr.. CogsWells Office has con-
tinued to administer the local act
under regulations which differ in
some respects from those applied
elsewhere.
Mr.. Porter and Price Admins
traitor Henderson reviewed the prog
ress of national rent control at press
conference yesterday. They pointed
out that, because of rent control, the
average person is going to get IA
months tenancy for what he would
have paid for II months tenancy
had there been no control.
Incomes Increase.
1t is maintained that steps to hold
down rents had not worked against
landlords. Mr.. Henderson gave fig
ures to show that net operating in
come of building owners had actu-
ally increased under rent control.
Thsi was true because losses due
to vacancies had nearly vanished In
places where rent control was in
effect. At the same time, mainte-
nance costs had dropped.
In commenting on the local rent
control. Mr.. Porter said that, while
the local Office did not operate in
exactly the same way as the OPA
rents are stabilized in the District
and you have probably achieved the
objective with present machinery"

Immediate Start
On Tax Legislation
Urged by George
Finunce Committee Heod
Opposes General Revision
Of Revenue Lows
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Opposing any general revision in
the revenue laws, Chairman George
of the Senate Finance Committee
declared today that Congress ought
to 60 to work at once writing a
new tax bill which could become
effective before March Is.
1t is highly important" Senator
George told reporters, that what
ever tax legislation is to be consid-
cred be gotten out of the way before
March Is. when the regular income
tax payments become due. I think
the people ought to know as soon
as possible what the tax program is
to be and that they ought to have
reasonable assurance then that this
program will be put on permanent
basis. at least for the duration of
the war"
Senator George said he believed
Congress would write into law some
adaptation of the so-called Ruml
pay-as-you-go tax plan by either
writing off years individual in
come taxes Or postponing one years
payments"
A bill embracing the Ruml plan
was prepared by Representative
Carlson, Republican, of Kansas,
member of the House Ways and
Means Committee, for introduction
tomorrow, opening day Of the new
Congress.
Under the proposal by Beardsley
Ruml, chairman of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of New York. taxes on
previous years income would be
wiped out and payments made on
the current years taxes through
weekly or monthly deductions from
an individuals income. Special pro-
visions would be made for business
men and others whose incomes are
not in the form of regular salary
checks.
Chairman Doughton of the House
Ways and Means Committee. which
will be first to consider tax mat
tiers in the new Congress, favors
putting income taxes on pay-as-
you-go basis, but expressed opposi-
ton to wiping out of one years
levies to achieve this.

WITH SOUTH PACIFIC FLEET,
Jan. 5.-A daring submarine opera
ton under the cover of darkness
has resulted in the rescue of % men,
women and children from a Jap
anese-held island in the Solomons
group. Admiral William F. Halsey
disclosed today.
The commander of the South Pa
ciflc Force said II of those rescued
were white women known to have
been in imminent danger of i'll
treatment and death. Three were
children.
The operation involved the de-
tachlng of feet submarine from
the task Of sinking japanese ship
ping and sending her to shallow
waters to effect the evacuation.
The daring coup was accomplished
under the very noses of the Japs.
Information was received late in
December that a party of mission
aries, who had not been evacuated
prior to enemy occupation of the
Solomons last Spring, was in danger
OF capture by raiding force of sew
eral hundred japanese. The mis-
sionaries had heard of the presence
OF white women on the island.
Apparently the missionaries
sent word of their plight to
American forces after they had
heard that another group of
whites, including women and
children, had landed on the is
land from another point in the
South Pacific. Subsequently the
missionaries apparently made
contact with the new group and
brought the party together for
the rescue attemptD

Daring Sub Rescues Group Of 70
From Jopunese-HeId Island

The task of rescuing the group
became a race against time. Just
before New Year Day information
was received that the japanese
planned to send a strong detach-
ment to capture the missionaries
after two enemy onsets had sent the
whites scurrying into the brush for
safety.
Only two methods of effecting the
rescue were feasible-either by air
or submarine. The underwater craft
was chosen.
Messages were dispatched to this
craft. which was unable to reply
lest it give away its position. Thus
progress OF the daring plan to evac-
uate those endangered would not be
determined.
1t is known now, however, that
the submarine commander received
and carried out the orders.
The submarine reached the rem
devious exactly on schedule 1t
stood close to shore. and took the
refugees aboard at night after reply
ing to pre-designated signal
Originally it had been planned to
make second attempt the following
night if the initial try was unsuc-
cessful.
AS it turned out that would have
been tragic. for the morning after
the fleeing party was placed aboard
the sub large number of Japs
landed.
Forty-eight hours after the sub
marine slipped away from the scene
the commanders first laconic an
nouncement of success was received,
A day later the group was trans
ferred to an American patrol vessel
in friendly waters and was immedi-
ately taken to Australia
The names and addresses of those
rescued are not known at this time.
