The vote came after three hours
OF debate in which Senator McCar-

for passage of his bill, which was
recommended by the District Com
mittee, to give fiat $3.50 raise dur
ing the war to all members of both

The substitute was sponsored by

Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, of

Withholding Tax
Of 20 Pei. Voted
First Two Insto|Iments
Of 1912 Income Lew
Would Still Be Due
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Ways and Means
Subcommittee on pay-as-you-go
taxation voted tentatively today
to impose a 20 per cent with
holding tax on taxable income of
wage and salary earners, effec-
tive July l, 1943.
The withholding levy, covering in
come and Victory taxes. would not be
a new tax, but would establish a
means of salary and wage deductions
for accumulations against actual
taxes computed at the year end.
Under the action, taxpayers would
be required to remit the first and
second installments of their 1912
taxes. The first installment is due
March IS.
Chairman Cooper of the subcom-
mittee said:
1T has been tentatively agreed by
the subcommittee to provide be-
ginning July l, l943, withholding
tax OF 20 per cents per cent on
wages and salaries above exemp-
lions OF 1924 like the Victory tax,
plus II per cent on wages and sala-
rles above regular income tax ex-
emptions of $500 for single and ST.
200 for married persons, plus $3.50
for each dependent.
This would be increased by 10
per cent to allow for deductions.
This withholding would apply to
wages and salaries"
The subcommittee made no de-
cision on whether all or any part of
one years income taxes would be
abated to facilitate conversion to a
pay-as-you-go foundation, but
merely provided the basis for ma
chinery to begin tax collections at
the sources,

Earlier Suffrage Story on
Page A-1,)


In a new plea for District -suf-
frage. Senator Capper, Repub-
lican, of Kansas told the Senate
today that Americans should
grant political freedom to their
fellow citizens in Washington
before they interest themselves
in freedom for India.
The Kansan made the statement.
while placing in the Congressional
Record an address delivered by
James r. Kirkland, chairman of
the District Bar Association, before
the Central Business Association on
February IL. Senator Capper made
the following comment:
"In his remarks, Mr.. Kirkland
discusses intelligently and concisely
some of the problems OF District
residents-1 would like to say Dis
trict citizens, but that is almost
satirical considering the treatment
accorded these good Americans who
make. their home IN the National
Capital.
Statement Endorsed.
IT indorse fully Mr.. Kirkland's
statement that" In this day when
America is bringing liberty to all
the people of the world, it is shame
full that she neglects the citizens
of the District of Columbia
Without in any way seeming
critical of the efforts of many Amer
leans who are insisting that Britain
give the people of India the right
to run their own government I am
suggesting that before we take or
the Indian problem of the British
Empire these good people should
first free the people who reside in
the District of Columbia.
These Americans are taxed with
out representation. They are drafted
into the armed services without rep
resentation. Thousands of WASH
ingtonians are fighting today on
scattered fronts all over the globe,
to carry the four freedoms to the
people of all the World-except their
own relatives and themselves in the
District of Columbia.
Favors Representation for All.
u believe thoroughly in our rep
resentative form of Government. I
also believe it should be representa-
tive for all American citizens in the
United States. hold that the resi-
dent citizens of the District of Co.
lumbia should be represented in
Congress, should have the right
to choose their representatives in
Congress. Also they should be al
lowed to participate in the election
of President and Vice President.
Il again direct the attention of
the Senate to S. j. Res. 49, intro
duced by me, which proposes an
amendment to the Constitution of

gress to grant representation in the

Samuel Lyons Proposes
High School Plan at
Board Meeting

Naugatuck. Nov. s. Samuel I.
Lyons, member Of the Board Of
Education, In q discussion at q
meeting OF the board Thursday
afternoon, stressed the need for
holding monthly fire drills In the
high school. Mr.. Lyons pointed out
that the superintendent's monthly
report shows no drills were held In
this school during october.
School Supt. II. A. Chittenden
explained all schools have orders to
hold two fire drills q month and
also two air raids drills each month.
The high school did not report any
fire drill last month and reported
one air raid drill, he said.
Principal Charles p. Slade Of the
high school told the Democrat after
the meeting there Is no intention OF
failing to hold the fire drills. He
explained none was held last month
because Of vacation periods and O
rush Of other activities. However
he pointed out over 25-yenr period
the high school has an excellent
record for monthly fire drills.
Mr.. Lyons also inquired how often
tho fire marshal inspects the local
schools and as q result Of this dis
cussion 1t was decided to have the
marshal submit quarterly report
on his inspections OF schools with
recommendation as to removal o.
hazards, II any.
Supt. Chittenden explained that
although the fire marshal makes
yearly inspection, ne does electrical
work In schools frequently so that
he Is constantly In touch with con-
dltions OF schools.
Mr.. Lyons suggests that q basic
electrical training course be included
In the present manual training In

would give boys the ability to do

At present manual training cours-

up as a life work, Mr.. Lyons said. Nc
