HOUSES AGREE
ON TAX PLAN
Conferees Reach Compro-
mise On Pay-As-Yo
Go Legislation

WASHINGTON, May 25. - (R -
Breaking a five day deadlock, Sem
ate and House conferees agreed
late today on compromise pay
as-you-go income tax collection
plan which would cancel a full
years taxes for persons owing $50
or less, and rs per cent of one
years taxes for others.
To bring taxpayers on to a cur.
trent basis, 20 per cent with
holding (above basic exemptions)
would be installed against wages
and salaries effective July /.
The residual Is per cent of one
years tax-1942 or 1943, which,
ever is the lesser-would be pay
able over a two year period, 1914
and 1945.
The decision of the committee,
appointed to adjust Senate and
House version of the long contro-
verted legislation, was reached by
a vote of II to 8.
The compromise goes first to the
House for approval, then to the
Senate. Chairman Doughton 3D.
NC) of the House conferees SAID
he hoped to call it up late this
week and was hopeful of approval
of both houses.
Doughton estimated the bill
would abate about $4,000, 100000 of
one years tax liability. or about
81 per cent of the total taxes for
year.
The agreement broke a stubborn
deadlock between the tax experts
of the two houses of Congress. The
House passed a bill cancelling
the per cent normal and 13 per
cent first bracket surtax on the
lesser years liability of all tax
payers. With a coalition and Re-
publicans and Democrats in the
saddle, the Senate showed its lik-
ing for the Ruml plan by substi-
tuting a bill cancelling a full years
taxes, except for certain windfaI
incomes. Both House and Senate
approved the withholding tax tea-
ture.
Doughton would make no guess
as to what effect final approval of
the bill might have on the Presi-
dents request for an additional
SIG, 00,000,000 this year in taxes
and savings. He said he hoped
the President would approve the
compromise.

BY JOHN COLBURN,
Associated Press STAFF Writer.

LONDON, April 3.-Only barest
facts of the world shaking events of
this global war and the complex
world problems arising from it are
available to readers of Britain's
skimpy wartime newspapers.
There is only a thumbnail sketch
of each days news. The sharp cur
tailment under which the news
papers struggle permits no back
ground information, none of the ex-
planatory details which Americans
read daily in their newspapers.
This island country, with its former
Scandinavian sources of paper shut
off, is forced to get what it can
across the submarine-men At
lantic shipping lanes in such ship
ping space as is available after
movement of troops, arms and vital
food supplies.
Cut About 80 Per Cent.
Newspapers now have just shade
more than 19 per cent of their
normal supplies of print paper.
This presents one of the more in
tangible but serious problems to
the functioning Of one of the world S
greatest democracies in wartime.
AS result, British newspapers
now run four. six or eight pages,
against their former average of 16
to "a pages in Standard sized papers
and "a to 80 pages for tabloids. The
historic Times of London is allowed
to publish 10 pages four days a
week and eight pages two days.
I'VE don't have nearly enough
space now to inform the public
adequately of what is going on in
the world today" commented STAN
ley Bell, rationing chairman of the
Newsprint Supply Co., a combine
of newspaper owners which con-
trolls, with government approval, the
amount of paper to be used.
Not only are the news columns
slim - they were narrowed and
smaller type was adopted with the
advent of rationing-but the num-

papers make profits estimated to bs
up at least Is per cent from prewar
times.
Government Uses Ads,
Actually advertising revenues are
down about 50 per cent. In 1898
British newspapers received $Ss, $685.
936 in advertising; in 1941 the ag-
gregate was $43,233 900 and 1925
total was about that much. The
Government itself spent $s,409, ,172
promoting conservation, production,
recruiting and the like in 194l.
But there is no competition from
radio; the BIC does not accept
advertising and the French stations
which once did $4,000 900 a year in
British business are German-con-
trolled now. The paper scarcity
there Is $500 fine for destroying
paper-has cut sharply into catalog,
billboard and handbill advertising.
The shortage Of workers has cut
personnel costs, and 1t takes a con-
siderably smaller mechanical force
therefore less expensive-to get out

cent and weeklies IS per cent. The
Times fills its quota. Other London
papers turn away advertisements to
give news rs to 80 per cent Of the
space, although outside papers use
their limit, and still can't fill the
demand.
A rush for space-"three ads for
every one printable" says G. Stephen
Milliken, an advertising representa-
tive-is evident despite increases in
rates of from SO to 90 per cent for
dailies and weeklies and of So per
cent for Sunday papers. Narrower
columns, too, mean the advertiser
gets less space for his money.
The cost increases in dollars are
along this line: Prewar charges of
one paper were $500 for the full
front page. $4,000 for an inside page.
Now one-eighth Of the front page
largest lad" acceptable-is 1920
and an inside one-eighth page $79O.
Classified rates also are high.
These increased rates, together
