OPA TOTTERS, BUT WHY?
(The Hennepin County Review

(The Hennepin County Review
The monkeyshines of OPA have
not been confined to the raspberry
industry. There has been system
attic campaign in progress ever since
Leon Henderson was forced out as
OPA chief to sabotage the organiza-
ton from within, cut off its appropri-
ations for enforcement and diScredit
the whole rationing and price fixing
machinery. .-..~.
This campaign has been handled
by the lobbyists representing the farm
bloc and some of the large food pro-
cessors. Soon after Prentice Brown
came in as Henderson's successor, he
brought to Washington Lou Maxon,
of Detroit, the millionaire advertising
agency head who recently resigned,
with a blast of sarcastic press re-
leases about the bungling by the OPA
professors. Maxon's job was to
wreck OPA, and he tried hard while
he lasted. This was to be expected.
An advertising agency head who
handles large accounts like Ford
Motor and Heinz pickles, as Maxon's
agency does, certainly could not be
expected to relish reduced gasoline
consumption and price ceilings on
items of food. What the food in
dustry would like, naturally, is high
er prices for higher prices mean
larger profits. Maxon represented the
food industry. What the farm bloc
wants, naturally, is no restraints on
food production or distribution, for
without them prices would rise to
the sky and everyone concerned with
food, from the smallest farm to the
smallest store, would make more
money.
Soon after he got to Washington,
Maxon tried to get the FBI to in
vestigate some 500 key men in OPA,
some of the hard-principled ap-
pointees of Henderson who were
striving valiantly, against all odds,
to hold prices down for the con-
sumer. He wanted them out. When
that didn't work, he tried all sorts
of other schemes to smash morale
within OPA. He did pretty well
in this. 1t appears now that within
six months at least the whole setup
will be mangled unless something
drastic is done soon to avoid it.
Meanwhile, the newspapers of the
land, SO per cent of them ruled by
their large advertisers and therefore
dedicated to heading off fourth
term for President Roosevelt, have
been crying crocodile tears about the
"bureaucrats," professors" and New
Deal "bunglers" who have been "mis-
managing" OPA. Their purpose is
to make OPA appear as one more
reason why President Roosevelt must
be defeated next year and the gov
ernment handed over to someone
docile enough, as Henry Wallace said
Sunday at Detroit, to allow Wash
ington to be made "way station"
once more on the road to Wall Street.
The chickering's, double crossings
and undercover maneuverings of the
politicians, of whatever label, are un-
derstandable. What is painful about
the whole OPA crisis, aside from the
fact it is heading for the rocks, is
that the people cannot get the whole
truth about it from their daily news
papers. The newspapers, especially
those dailies owned by the fat, mil
lionaire publishers who couldn't write
a SO word editorial themselves with
out calling in brace of stooges and
secretaries, rant about the so-called

MILK PRICES MAY
 BE RAISED AGAIN
Governor May Ask OPA to Lift Freezing Order for
 State Dealers

Hartford, Conn, March 10.-(UP) -Gov. Baldwin told a representa- tive of
 tive group of milk producers today he would ask the OPA to lift its freezing order of Feo. 9 on milk in Connecticut, if State Milk Adminis- trator Donald O. Hammerberg found an increase in price was justified at this time.
 Six members of the executive con- mittee of the Connecticut Milk Pro- ducers association, complained to the governor today that current prices were not enough to mete pro- duction costs, and that six pro- ducers had, within the past week. indicated their intention to close their dairies.
 The governor advised the associa- ton with Hammerberg, who would hold a public hearing to determine whether the increased price was necessary.
 If fIammerberg approved the ill- crease, Gov. Baldwin said he would personally take the matter Up with the OPA to lift the freeze, which begged milk and. January prices.
 T want to sec the farmers get a price to keep them on the job," the governor told Association President 0. Marsden Bacon, Mlddletown.
 He said that in view of the urg- ings of the federal and state govern ments to boost farm production, the matter should be given thorough consideration.

 SINK GERMAN SUB

Ottawa, March 10.-(UP)-Min- ister of national defense for air c. c. Power disclosed today that RCAF aircraft destroyed one Ger man submarine and damaged three others in recent weeks off the east Canadian coast. ..Ir
 The attacks brought to 47 the number made in the last 16 months by Canadian aircraft.
 "There seems to be little doubt that enemy U-boats will return in force to this side of the Atlantic with the coming of war weather" !" the air minister said.
 Two of the RCAF attacks on the U-boats were made during heavy snowstorrns and results were uncer- tain, Power said, but indications were that both submarines suffered some damage"
 The report concerning the third attack said:
 "All evidence indicated that the submarine was definitely destroyed" !" while the fourth U-boat was prob ably seriously damaged"

ARMY LETS GO FATHER OF ii.
Anthony Christian, $19O a Month Private, Eligible
 for Redraft

New York, March 10.-(UP) An thony Christian, who, through a misunderstanding, was drafted as the first $l90 q month private, has returned to civilian life. but he said today that he still was single on the army's records, and if men 38 to A are called up he probably will have to leave his wife and II children again.
 Christian, an unemployed house painter who was receiving $95 q month relief, was drafted last au- tumn. The draft board protested that he had failed to claim a family. Christian said a clerk told him he was technically single, since his fam fly was on relief.
 Nevertheless. the army naa to pay his family $l62 a month for support and him $28. When the army decided to release men 38 or over already drafted, If they had good reason for being civilians, he got out.
 Ills wife had saved enough from dependency checks for him to es- tablish a fish and chips shop. The only flaw in his nneW prosperity was the fact that the army regarded him as a bachelor, and hence eligible for redraft.
 "A bachelor with Ii children" he said,

House RevoLt Over Tax Plan Threatens

he said, "about 30 per cent of the income taxpayers paid up in full on March Is last year. Therefore. we can almost assume that 30 per cent of the old taxpayers will become current in l943.
 Add to this the 17000,000 new taxpayers who will be forced to be- come current and the bulk of the taxpayers will be on a pay-aS-you- go basis in the middle of 1914"
 The withholding plan apparently has the support of the 15 Democratic members of the ways and means committee and Gearhart. The re- maining Republicans stood by the Ruml plan for skipping 1922 income levies to place the entire country on a pay-as-you-go basis.
 They claimed impressive support in the house and promised to make an issue on the house floor if the committee reports the plan now un- der consideration.
 Chairman Robert L. Doughton, D., N. C., of the committee, meanwhile, described the task of finding a suit able pay-as-you-go plan "the most hateful and difficult search any committee of the house has ever undertaken. .....
 On one hand we're besieged with requests for the forgiveness Of an entire years taxes and on the other we're asked to provide SIG, 6,000, ,000 900 new revenlie" he said

$500 Apartment Loot Recovered By Police

 Rounded Up By Johnson

Clothing. costume jewelry and other articles valued at approxi- mate!y $500 footed from the Carroll ton apartment building on Willow and Pine streets following the re- cent fire by a group of boys in the neighborhood all of them minors. have been recovered by Police Chief Inspector Joseph P. Stevens dis closed today. f
 The boys eight in number. were rounded up by Detective Lieutenant Henry Johnson yesterday as the cli- max of. an investigation which be- gan shortly after the fire at the building February 2, and will be arraigned in juvenile court, Inspec- tor Stevens said. All of the group are under sixteen years of age.
 Included among the recovered articles, all the property of Mrs. J. F. Healey who lived on the first floor of the building, were clothing, linen, cut glass, costume jewelry, china ware, ornaments. and books. Mrs. Anna Worsley, also tenant in the building, has reported the loss of household effects from her apart nlent, according to Inspector Stew ems. He said goods had been packed and left in the apartments by ten- ants while the building was being renovated after the fire, and that the boys had apparently gained en- trance during this time.
 Detective Lieutenant Johnson was assigned to the investigation when the complaint was received several weeks ago and has been working on it since, Inspector Stevens said. Questioned by their parents as to where they had obtained the ar- ticles they brought home, the boys said they had "found'' them, ac- cording to police.
 Fire broke out in the building on the night of February ?, and was brought under control by fourteen companies of firemen and apparatus after bitter fight in which they were hampered by severe cold. Eight families found refuge with neigh bors when flames swept through the upper part of the building.

NEW TAX SCHEME
 GETS APPROVAL.
Withholding Tax on Pay Checks After July 1
 Wins Favor

Washington, March 10,--(UP)-- The House Ways and Means com- mittee voted today to drop all pay as-you-go tax legislation, and in- stead to collect part of the taxes due on last years income through a 20 per cent withholding tax on pay checks beginning July l.
 The plan finally agreed on by vote of IS to 9 would continue the present system of computing and collecting income taxes with these exceptions:
 1. Collection at the source would begin July at 20 per cent rate on the amount above exemptions.
 2. Taxes collected at the source would be applied against taxes on i942 income tao the extent that the 20 per cent withholding covers the taxpayers liability on income earned last year.
 3. If collection at the source ex- ceeds the lS4z napiiily, 1t wv9l6 be credited against the taxpayers obli- gations for 1943 or subsequent years.
 4. New taxpayers Gan estimated 4,O0O,O0O whose entire liability has been withheld from pay checks, will be credited for taxes which would- mt be due until March IS, 1944.
 5. The same principle would ap- ply to taxpayers who pay their l942 taxes in full on March l6.
 6. Taxpayers whose 1922 liabill- ties are not liquidated by the 20 per cent withholding and those who have income other than salaries and wages, would make extra payments in installments in September and December, 1943.
 The plan would apply the same procedure for withholding in 1944, but then the withholding would start January 1 instead of July l.
 The plan adopted would give tax payers 8 chance to become current by paying both regular install ments and the withholding tax - but no inducement such as reduc- tion in rates was offered If they should pay one and one-half years during 1943.
 The committee. however, still has under consideration several induce ment proposals. It also is working on a plan to move the date for fil- ing next years income tax returns from March IS to some earlier date, possibly February IS.

MUNICH BOMBED, ii PLANES LOST
British Rain Hundreds of Tons of Shells on Birth.
 place of Nazism
(NEA Telephotol
BY WILLIAM B. DICKINSON United Press Staff Correspondent


 Lordon, March 10. = (UP) = British four-engined bornbers stabbed deep into southern Ger many last night to rain hundreds of tons of bombs on Munich, key railroad junction and birthplace of Nazism.
 Other British raiders bombed tar gets in western Germany and sowed mines in enemy waters with losses in all operations totaling Il planes, the air ministry announced.
 The attacks carried the renewed Allied aerial offensive against Ger many and occupied western Europe through its second night.
 The German radio acknowledged damage in Munich, particularly to residential buildings and cultural monuments" However, the broad- cast did not say whether the 'cul- tural monuments included buildings sacred only to the Nazi party.
 The bombing force took an hour and half to pass over the English southeast coast last night and the loss of il aircraft indicated that 1t numbered at least 220 planes.
 British sources believed the raid was the heaviest of five so far di- rected against Munich by British based bornbers. The city also was raided from France by both British and French bombers before the Franco-G German armistice in June, 1940.
 Munich is Germany's second capital, since all of the key Nazi party ministries, whose jurisdiction parallels those of the German gov- ernment, are situated there.
 Apart from these offices and iim- portant railroad targets, Munich is the site of many war factories, the most important of which is the Bayerische Motor Works, which
