turn him to Statewide and solitary
CONTINENT cell.
Touhy's attorney, Joseph r. Har-
rington, commended that his client
was innocent of the crime for which
he was serving a 99-year sentence
the 1888 kidnapping of John Jake
the Barber" Factor-and that his
State court trial was unfair.
Bible Reference Cited.
The lawyer recalled that the Bible
set mans normal life span at three
score and 10 years" He asserted
that the prison term of the 44-year-
old Touhy would carry him into his
second childhood and declared that,
because it was illegal to imprison
an infant, Touhy should be liberated.
The judge ruled that his court
lacked jurisdiction in the case and
that it would have none unless and
until Touhy exhausted the processes
of the State courts. Under the cir
cumstances, he added, it would be
absurd to release him.

Victory Tax May Tap
Pay Raises Awaiting
WLB Approval
Without Specific Ruling,
Levy Will Be Taken Out
When Boosts Are Paid

Thousands of 1912 wage and sal
sry increaSes-still unpaid because
they haven't been approved by the
War Labor 'Board-posed new
question today for the Internal
Revenue Bureau:
Is the money subject to the s
per cent withholding tax on 194a
payrolls?
The bureau says it's new prob
lem and won't answer categorically
The WLB has no control, but Is
considering recommendation tc
the tax collector. Without spe-
cif1c ruling to the contrary, it is ap-
parent that the tax will be deducted
when the increases eventually are
paid.
There is no official estimate Of the
total of wage and salary increases
involved. but it may run into mil
lions. There are several Thousand
wage cases-disputes and voluntary
Agreements-in the WLB mill which
go back 10 l94Z.
Union spokesman who have sought
exemption from withholding tax on
this money protest that the Gov
eminent itself is to blame. They
contend that the Internal Revenue
Bureau is penalizing employees be-
cause WLB has failed to act or
cases fast enough.
In its latest advices to employers
on the Victory tax withholding, thu
Internal Revenue Bureau said that
If the established payroll period
ended on or before December 81
1912, no withholding was required
even though the actual transfer OF
money from employer to employe
took place on a later date. But il
even one day of the payroll period
went into 1943, the tax for the entire
period was deductible.

The women will be paid 50 a day
while in training and II cents an
hour, with a guaranteed minimum of

lar jobs. Their average work day
probably will be about six hours.
Mrs. Whitehurst, whose husband
is employed by Capital Transit, said
she expects no difficulty in her new

ments and added she can counter
any wisecracks that may be thrown
at her.
