Raid Warden Halls Court
For BIackout Co-operation

William j. Mileham, chief AFRAID
warden, in a letter to Municipal
Court Judge George D. Nelson, yes
terday commended the magistrate
for his treatment of violators of
blackout regulations.
You doubtless realize there are
over 10000 members of the Afraid
Warden Service in the District of
Columbia, all giving freely of their
time in an endeavor to efficiently
protect the citizens and the property
of the District against enemy at
tacks," Mr.. Mileham said in his let
ter. Incorporation by the populace
as whole has been nearly perfect,
but fraction of per cent acting
as violators can destroy the good
work of all Others
Such f1agarent violators should
be treated in exactly the manner in
which you have meted out punish
ment, and with the attendant pub
licity in the newspapers know that
it will have salutary effect upon
other possible violators."
Judge Nelson yesterday fined
Joseph Kaplan Of 3038 Fourteenth
street NV. $25 for careless dis
regard" of blackout regulations.

RumI Plan Is Neither as Good or Bod
As Opposite Sides Are CIoiming

that the plan puts US on a Cur
rent" basis, paying taxes on income
as earned this year, not on the
dead-and-gone income of last year.
If SO, 1t works backward, too. Any
intelligent taxpayer can be his own
mere bookkeeper and engage in his
own mere bookkeeping.
All he need do Is say to himself:
This year I am earning SO much,
and paying so much, and have SO
much left. Thus I am current.
Whether my taxes are calculated on
last years earnings, or on any other
formula, is irrelevant. What differ
ence does it make, so far as pay
as-I-go is concerned, whether my
this years taxes are based on my
last years earnings or on the size
of my hat?"
Arguments Reversible.
Many of the Ruml arguments can
be worked backward, as we'll as
forward.
It is said that, under the present
system, the taxpayer Is always lin
debt" to the Government, always a
year behind. It could be said, with
equal justice, that our generous
Government allows each taxpayer
to keep and use his tax money for
a year, without paying interest on
it. 1t gives him kind of automatic
loan. Since the Government is on
the short end Of this arrangement,
it could even be argued that 1t Is
the Government which Is always a
year behind. The taxpayer Is =
year ahead.
But, again, why the great heat Of
debate, when even the defenders of
the plan call 1t mere bookkeeping?
Why so much noise about mere
bookkeeping?
Quarrel Is Invented.
AS so often, one finds the answer
in the curiously limited role assigned
to the opposition, even during war,
under the American party system.
The opposition has no formal tasks.
1t has almost nothing to do but
make a rumble about Ruml. The
Republicans might well have been
invited in, formally, to participate
in shaping a national tax policy
during the crisis. But they have
been doomed to work from the out
side.
The Ruml hubbub, so safe and so
irrelevant, Is q godsend. CA godsend
to isolationists, too; see how they
rejoice in this issueD What should
have been a minor squabble among
technicians becomes a national issue,
as the opposition seeks to prove that
it is alive. Not having been given a
task, it has invented one. 1t sup
ports the administration on the war,
while gleefully arguing that the
administration is crazy. That is not
good for our unity.
Is there no way to ask Republicans
inside the house, 50 that they need
not shout and sing in the streets to
prove that they are extant, and

committee-room behavior and mi
nority reports) are dominantly pro-
Ruml. The Democrats are either
anti Ruml or else are acting like
whirling dervishes on the issues.
And there Is something fake about
the curiously high temperature of
this battle. Why these vast RACES?
Why these magnificent angers, these
spectacular verbal fireworks over
what is, at most, technical tax re-
form?.
The opposition now describes
every man, woman and child in
America as crying for the Ruml
plan; the Treasury as standing only
to benefit by it, and the administra-
ton as opposing 1t out of sheer dog
Medicines. In fact. the opposition
has, by now, made far too good a
case for the Ruml plan, so good that
it can only explain away the admin
istration's opposition on the ground
that 1t has gone stark, staring crazy.
The administration, countering,
calls the Ruml plan (Which is a plan
to collect this years income taxes on
this years income, not on last years
income} plan to let the million
aires escape without paying taxes for
last year. But millionaires would
pay just as much money out OF
pocket, or more, this year with the
Ruml plan, as without it; and, in
any case, Mr.. Rumls own quiet &C
ceptance of the principle of a wind
fall tax to make up inequalities has
gone almost unnoticed. Only in the
case of a millionaire who cunningly
decides to die early in the current
fiscal year would the estate save a
years income taxes. and a special
inheritance tax could take care Of
that.
Not as Good as Claimed.
So the plan is not nearly so bad
as administration describes it to be.
Remarkably enough, 1t is not nearly
50 good as its friends find it to be,
either. ct is still my point that a
suspiciously big fight is being made
over curiously small issue, and I
will get back to that point, soon,)

region and hoped to capture Mez-
zouna, thus opening the way to
Sfax. This column was still
progressing Friday morning, but
Gen. Patton was told to move
cautiously. Gen. Patton's other
column, which was making its
way toward Gabes, was stopped
altogether and was waiting for
Gen. Montgomery to resume his
advance through the Mareth
Line. Until a definite success
can be obtained by the 9Th Army,
there is little use for Gen. Patton
to move forward.
Allies Still Have Air Edge.
The Allied high command is
fully aware that it must proceed
with the utmost caution in spite
Of the Importance of reaching
Sfax and Gabes as soon as pos
sible to cut of Rommel's supply
lines. It's principal advantage,
an overwhelming air superiority.
is still being maintained, and it
is hoped that the American-Brit-
ish aviation will be able to soften
the Axis sufficiently to enable
the ground forces to start a
smashing move against Rommel.
The Allies chief drawback is
the long lines of communication
which are still exposed to Ger
man air attacks. But with the
end of the rainy season more
temporary airfields can now be
established, and the supply stu
alton is said to have been greatly
improved.
Whether the Nazis have suf-
ficient air reserve at their bases
in Sardinia and Sicily to offset
the Allied advantage is question
mark. So far Rommel has not
received any substantial air re-
Inducements. Whether this Is
due to a slowing down OF the
Nazi industrial production or to
the fact that the Germans are
concentrating an important force
in Russia Is not known.
Axis Wants Allies Delayed.
From available accounts re-
ceived from Germany through
neutral countries, the Rommel
force is considered a suicide
squad.
1t is doubtful whether a large
number of airplanes can be de-
tached from the Russian front to
reinforce the troops in Tunisia,
whose principal role is to draw
the maximum effort of the Allies
in that area.
1t is reported that Rommel
has been ordered to delay the
hour Of defeat as long as he can.
II he can maintain himself-re-
gardless Of losses-until June or
July, when the NaZis expect
their offensive in Russia to be in
full swing, the loss of his entire
army will be worth while.
And for the time being it seems
that he will be able to give the
Allies lot of trouble. He Is
said to be resigned to defeat, but
while the Allies would like to
crush him in the next few weeks,
he hopes to hold on. in the north
at least, for several more months.
