Reductions Ordered.

Mr.. Ickes also ordered bituminous
coal producers in four States to re-
duce shipments to large proportion
of their customers from as to- 40
per cent. Fi o.a9afae@ a@'@-'
The reductions, he said, are nec-
essary to fill requirements for spe-
cial-purpose metallurgical coal and
for coal to be moved by Great Lakes
vessels. s. - a. ,s,s z.,~
The order follows one restricting
home deliveries of anthracite to
householders having more than half
their winter supply already in their
bins.
1t affects producers in District
Eight, which embraces Southern
West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky,
part of Virginia and part of Ten
nessee.
They were directed to limit their
shipments of coal for retail dealer
use in each Of two periods, from
September 7 to October 10 and from
October 10 to November 10, to 5 per
cent of their yearly basic figure.
Home Owner May Not Suffer.
They woud normally ship s.33 per
cent, Mr.. Ickes said. Since "a other
States produce bituminous coal, the
home owner will not be seriously
affected by the order unless dealer
stocks are far lower than believed,
officials explained.
District Eight producers also were
ordered not to ship more than rs per
cent OF their current monthly con-
sumption requirements to:
l. Purchasers buying for electrical
generation use and having more
than 60 days supply on hand.
2. Railroads receiving coal by all
rail which have more than 30 days
supply on hand.
3. Railroads receiving coal by COM
bined rail and tidewater which have
more than As days supply on hand
4. Any other purchasers for use by
persons receiving coal all-rail or by
river or by combination of rail and
river who have more than 30 days
supply on hand.
Meanwhile, Federal figures on
coal production for the week ended
August % show slightly increased
outputs of both bituminous coal and
anthracite.
Bituminous coal production was
estimated at 1890 900 tons as COM
pared with 12,010,000 tons the week
before. Anthracite estimates put
production at 100000 tons, COM
pared with 1,253,0o0 tons produced
the week ended August 2I.

369 Additional Mines
Returned 10 Owners
Under Ickes' Order
By the Associated Press.

by tne Associated Press.
The Government turned back
to private owners yesterday 369
more of the soft coal mines
seized several months ago during
a series of strikes.
Return of the pits, Fuel Admin
istrator Ickes announced, raises to
549 the number restored to private
operation. Still in possession of the
Government are 2.829 mines.
The Government relinquished
control under provisions of the
antistrike act that Government
seized industry must be restored to
the owner not more than 60 days
after prestrike production eflci-
ency has been reached.
The latest mines released, scat
tered throughout the soft coal re-
gions, produce approximately 153,-

Program TO WILKES Liking.

This is the kind of program which
Wendell L. Willkie is believed to
sponsor-since great many Of his
friends are prominent members of
the Postwar Policy Association. MIR.
Willkie was not named a member of
the Republican Postwar Advisory
Council by Chairman Spangler of
the Republican National Committee
nor was he invited to attend the
present meeting Of the council.
Mr. Willkie has been a prime
mover in the effort to get the Re-
publican party away from its old
position of isolationism. He is recog-
nized as a candidate for the Repub-
/ lican presidential nomination again
b 1914. 1t remains to be seen
Ehether he will criticize the work
Vof the council--if it does not go
much further in its pronouncement
of foreign policy than does the VAN
denberg resolution.
What the Republicans are hoping
for Is party unity on the subject of
a foreign relations plank They do
not wish to see Mr.. Willkie and
his many friends start a howl of
criticism. There Is reason to be-
heve that at least one of Mr.. Will
kie's most ardent supporters. q

I5 many economists believe that the Treasury will face wholesale defaults through sheer inability of the people to pay the high levies
 We are inclined to believe that the new Congress will enact the payas-yougo plan to avert disaster.
 The 1922 taxes probably won't be abolished com pletey, but the payments will be strung out over a long period that will mean just about the same thing.
 Meanwhile, such plan would mean that the taxpayer would start from scratch March 15-- paying this years income tax money he makes this year. Payments would be made as the money is earned, according to the Ruml plan.
 The government would take in more money and collections would be easier.
 It is the Treasury Departments duty to collect enough taxes to the war, but also it's duty is to make these burdensome than is necessary.

PAY-AS-YOU-GO

Whether the Treasury Department will have us pay our 1922 income taxes payable in l943 or ditch the AZ taxes and start collecting 43 taxes at the source on a pay-as-you-go policy is now being argued in Congress
 One tax another it will probably be pay-as- you-go in either case for most persons.
 March Is isn't very far away either. The Collector of Internal Revenue has sent out blanks for the collection of the l942 tax, but it is begin ming to look more and if pay-as-y you-go plan will be set up before March Is. It is unfor- tunate that the whole thing couldn't have been set tied by the last Congress and saved quite bit of expense and confusion.
 A pay-as-you-go plan seems to be the only log- cal answer to the plight the average taxpayer finds himself in this year According to a recent Gallup poll, only person in four has even begun to save to pay his taxes this year.
 The Treasury is sending out blanks on the the ory that the taxpayer knew high taxes were coming and he should have saved to be prepared for them. But the fact is that he didn't.
 The people knew that heavier taxes were com ing But it is doubtful if they knew just how high they would be The bill fixing the new taxes wasn't enacted until as late last october. Not much time to prepare.
 If collections of l942s taxes go ahead on March

War Loan Accounts

tNew York Times
 In cooperation with the Federal Reserve System the Treasury has been making special effort to increase the number of banks throughout the coun- try which qualify special Repositories of Govern ment funds total of l,426 new Repositories has been added to the lists, while the amounts which other banks eligible to hold have been increased bringing the total number of depository institutions to 4,739, qualified to hold as much $8429 017 164 of Government deposits at any time.
 This rather dry item of news has important bearing upon the financing of the war. Under the system of War Loan Accounts" which dates back to the First World War banks and trust companies which have qualified special Repositories are per mitted to subscribe for Government bonds without putting up cash. Instead they simply credit the Treasury their books with deposit equal to the amount of their subscriptions to Government bond issues As the Treasury requires the money it issues calls for the repayment of these deposits As the funds are, in turn spent by the Treasury, Govern ment checks flow back into the banking system repenishing funds to meet future calls
 In this way it is possible to avoid the drain upon the banking system that would be involved if the Treasurys offerings had to be paid for in cash At the time the banking system is in position absorb far larger amounts of Government sec,ui- ties than would otherwise be possible. Thus the excess reserves of all member banks of the Federal Reserve System which provide measure of the limit of cash" subscriptions to Government bonds banks could possibly make, now total about $2S 100000. But the banks of the country will probably absorb twice that amount of Government issues in the current $9 100000 900 Victory Drive.
 Here and there throughout the country banks unused to the idea of book credit payments for issues of Government securities have been concerned to discover that they would be expected to absorb more bonds than they had available reserves to pay for. Such banks have not thought through the enormous demands for credit which the war places upon banking system. The increased use of the War Loan Account system makes possible ar orderly expansion of bank credit to finance the war with minimum strain upon the reserves of the banking system.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
TUESDAY, JANUARY 19

Conflicting planetary aspects are discerned in the horoscope for to- day. The morning should be favor abe for launching important en- terprises.
 HEART AND HOME In cities as we'll as small towns the lack of ser wants or helpers will teach house. keepers the value of the simple life. Dining will become less ceremon- ious in homes of wealth and food restrictions will reduce menus in ways that are amazing, astrologers foretell. There is sign presaging novel customs and odd substitutes for old-time routines. Visiting cooks and parlor maids will become pop ular at high wages, for the stars seem to presage independence for women of every walk of life.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Marvels in manufacturing are to multiply as war exigencies bring out super powers in American workers. War time expansion of plants will result in unlocked for benefits in post war times, astrologers predict. Pre- paredness is to take on new mean ings when peace is established. If rightly read, tile stars promise that | the worlds arts and handicraft will have centers in the Western Hem isphere. When the United Nations win, the United States, Canada and the Americas are to develop the new order magnificently.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Although the new year has brought wider realization of individual responsi- bility in winning the war, many civil employees and persons who en- 1 joy fair incomes will limit their sacrifices and ignore opportunities for service. Workers here and there will incite strikes or loafings which retard production. Critics of press and radio as well as few states men, will protest against what is a form of sabotage. Taxpayers will resent lack of true patriotism. Thus our enemies will be encouraged in all forms of fifth column intrigue
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Through the next fortnight wal news will emphasize the vastness of the world struggle and. through coming midwinter days events will be discouraging as well as inspir- ing to the United Nations. Astrol . ogers warn of enemy recourse tC the worst methods of human con- flict. Introducton of gas and bar barrie treatment of prisoners may be expected, according to interpre tations of evil portents. Bible pro- phecies appear to agree with astrol- ogical predictions regarding the or deals that will test the champions of liberty and justice.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of extraord- mary experiences. Financial re- sources maybe satisfactory, but try ing journeys, changes in family re- lations and strange associations are prognosticated
 Children born on this day pro- bably will be self confident and diff ticult to direct. Many will have bril- liant intellects and fine characters

 However. the canny Republican leader took keen delight in keep ing the opposition guessing an d carried on his little joke until the very last.

 HITLER'S STOOGEs
 They aren't advertising it, but there is one excellent reason why isolationist Senators Wheeler of Montana and Nye of North Dakota are working so feverishly for an investigation of the Justice De- partment and it's prosecution of Hitler stooges in the USA.
 That reason is that they know some of the dynamite-laden evil dence now before the Justice De- partment which is sure to come out when these cases go to trial. That evidence shows the two Sena- tors as having been used by the Nazi sympathizers and alleged se- ditionists
 Probably the two Senators did not know they were being used. Wheeler, at the time, told friends he was worried over definite Nazi influences inside the America First Committee and that he had worked inside it to keep those influences down.
 However, the fact remains that Prank K. Ferenz, one of those in- dicted for sedition, organized the America First rally for Wheeler when he arrived in Los Angeles, and was one of Wheeler's active supporters. Ferenz, according to evidence before the Justice Depart i1ent, had a sister in Germany who wrote him advice regarding a job f0t der Fuehrer.
 Senator Nye, ill turn, has lent his frank to the Steuben Society for which the Steuben Society was fined by the Post Office Depart naent He has also been active be- hind -the-scenes in aiding the ap- peal of George Sylvester viereck, already convicted for failure to register as a foreign agent and now indicted for sedition.
 Furthermore. recent evidence be- fore the Justice Department from an American long resident in Ber- lin quotes high-ranking Nazis as saying that if war came, they had the. U.S-A. organized and that Wheeler was their favorite Sena- tor. While nobody who knows Sena- tor Wheeler believes for a minute that he was a party to this, many
