The patriot troops were reported
to have blown up an Italian mer-

coast and to be raiding railways,
communication lines and Italian
barracks. Previous reports told of
three fights between the Greeks
and Axis troops trying to clean up
resistance.
The Soviet information bureau

occupying authorities to suspend
traffic on the Athens-Salonika rail-
road because of continual raids.

Withholding Tax
Goes into Effect

WASHINGTON, July |. CUP)-
The greatest innovation ever intro
duced in this country's income tax
collection system becomes effective
today with official Inauguration OF
the 20 per cent Withholding income
tax.
The IVY will be deducted from
pay checks or envelopes for the first
payroll period starting after last
midnight. If the payroll period
starts today. the tax will be with
held from the next check or en-
velope.
The Withholding plan. adopted by
Congress after a long and bitter
battle, is designed to put tax col
lections on a current basis rather
than on a year-behind basis as in
the past. Heretofore, payments
have been made on taxes due on
the previous years income; hence
forth the withholdings will be cred
tied to taxes due on current in
come.

Four Axis Ships Go Down

LONDON, July l. CUP1-British

forces in an offensive 10 cut off
1taly's island outposts from supply
and reinforcement, have sunk four
and probably five r1ore Axis ships
in Italian waters, the admiralty an
nornced today.
The new blows to Axis strength
came as European advices told of
the departure of a new Allied in
vaSion fleet from Gibraltar under
strong naval escort and reported
that Italy's uneasy King Victor
Emmanuel was pleading with Pre-
mier Beinto MuSSoiini to declare
Rome an open city in the hope that
1t may be spared aerial lombard
ment.
The vessels sunk were listed by
the admiralty as large transport,
a large supply ship. a medium sup
ply ship and small supply ship.
Another medium supply ship also
was believed TO have been sunk, the
communique said
AMMUNITION LADEN
The medium sized supply ship
(Which was sunk probably was
laden with ammunition. as it blew
up with such an explosion that the
attacking submarine was shaken
severely" the admiralty said.
The large transport was describ-
ed as fast, modern vessel" which
was hit with three torpedoes and
seen TO sink an hour later.
The communique indicated that

SndrIs Vanish
As Pdy-Go Tax
Under Way
BY WARD SCHULTZ
Times Financial Editor

Detroit's workers have accepted
the new so-called 20 per cent pay
roll deduction income tax in good
faith and complaints are few and
far between.
Somewhat awed by the manner
in which the deductions went
over" government authorities and
employers here cautiously advance
the theory that 1t was so well pub
liciZed as a 40 per cent tax" that
when the public learned that only
about II or Ia per cent had been
taken out OF pay checks, II was
almost pleasant surprise.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM
Biggest problem was faced by
employers OF help in the lowest
experimentation $50 10 $50

employers had made applications
for nominal wage increases in
June 10 anticipate the Debated
pay check, according 10 Willis

merce.
There was considerable pres
sure 10 get these approved by
July In order To counteract the
deduction which employees In
those brackets could III afford"
he said.
Statesmen COMPLAIN
The offices Of Giles Kava-
nagh. deputy collector Of inter-
nal revenue. were set for an ex-
pected avalanche Of protests
and only a driblet resulted
Most OF these came from sales
men who contended that the
deductions were considerably in
excess Of the amount necessary
because they are allowed tax
deduction for sales expense.
kayanagh stressed that the
law provides for refunds az the
end Of the year. where oyerpay-
mentS are involved
Although in New York and the
east small businessmen in nonwar
work have IN some eases absorbed
the tax in order 10 keep their
workers, this apparently has not
happened in Detroit.
MUST COLLECT 1T
II is illegal for an employer 10
absorb the tax and the only way
this can be accomplished legally is
by a pay increase TO compensate
for the deduction. Although en-
ployers Of less than eight work
ers can give raises without APP
provel. the wages and hours Of
ficials stressed that employers OF
more than eight must apply
through the usual channels before
any such raise could be- given.
Treasury authorities also stress
that any form Of compensation is
subject TO the tax.
