50 PET. Of Demand
Industry Hit BY Loss
In Monpower, Diversion
Of Boots to Navy Use
BY the Associated Press.

Ds INC ASSOCIATED Prese-
Secretary Of the Interior fckes
said today that, despite hopes that
fish production might relieve the
meat shortage, best estimates OF the
fishing industry are that sea food
output this. year will be less than
go per cent Of demand"
Mr.. Ickes, who is also fisheries
co-ordinator, has just had a series
OF meetings With members OF the
industry.
Opinion Of Industry.
Although the Secretary of Agri.
culture estimates that q minimum
catch Of 1000, 100000 pounds OF sea
food products will be needed this
year to supply the armed forces.
our Allies and the civilian needs"
Mr.. 1ckes said, "the best opinion Of
the industry Is that production will
be no more than $3.50, ,0OO, 900 pounds
unless many Of the industry's hAndi-
caps are removed"
The estimate of l943 production
was slightly under 1928 output of
3.700, 900 900. However, Secretary
Ickes noted that the Agriculture
Departments goal is about 2,00O.-
600 900 pounds more than the best
production in any year and failure
to meet it would not necessarily
mean that production Is falling OF.
Men and Boats Diverted.
Instead. he explained, the fishing
industry finds it difficult to increase
Its production because Of the d.
version Of boats to military uses,
the loss Of manpower to the armed
forces and war plants, scarcity OF
materials and similar difficulties.
The Once OF Price Administration
today set new, uniform prices for
professors Of 8 cents per pound for
whole frozen lake smelts and 10
cents a pound for headed and dressed
frozen lake smeits. These prices are
on about the average lesel OF former
price schedules which varied from
store to store. The uniform prices
were established to facilitate Army
purchases. Most Of these snelts
come from small streams In Michi.

Hundreds besieqe
Income Tax Office
To Prepare Returns
Todoy's Business Expected
To Be Years Biggest
As Long Lines Form

The local income tax office in
the Internal Revenue Building
today was besieged by hundreds
Of citizens waiting to file tax
returns on 1912 income and pay
at least one-fourth of the levy
due.
With the deadline fast approach
ing on March Is. 1t was expected
todays business would be one OF the
biggest of the year.
More than 800 persons were watt
ing in line when the Office in Room
1902 at Twelfth street and Constitu-
ton avenue NV opened at 8:15a.m.
The long corridors of. the building
can house any number who call to
wait in line inside the building.
Throughout the morning long lines
wound around the corridors.
More than 100 experts are on hand
to help people make out their re-
turns. They will be available until
5 pm. today. Cashiers windows will
be open until $50 pm. today to
receive payments from those who
already have made out their returns.
Arguments on Capitol Hill over
changes in the tax law to make it
possible to pay y-as.you-go" will
have no effect on the present re-
Quirement that the income tax re-
turn must be filed on or before mid
night March Is.
Under pending plans before Con-
gress it appeared today there would
be some kind Of pay-as-you-go
plan enacted to become effective
about July /. This would mean that
taxpayers should be prepared to pay
not only the March Is installment.
but also the June is installment on
the tax due on income received in
1912. before any new plan becomes
effective.

American Soldiers to Study
AT Famed British Universities
Arrangement Is Port Of Wide Program
For Education of Peoples Of Other Lands

attending professional schools be.
fore the war. The council is seeing
to 1t that they have chance to
continue their interrupted educa-
ton.
There has been some concern, for
example. that when Poland is freed
from the Nazi heel there will be a
deplorable shortage OF doctors.
Most OF the Older men In actual
practice stayed behind. Many OF
them have been executed or have
perished from hardships. In Eng
land, however, are a good many Pol
isl1 medical students who may have
had year or 80 OF training before
the war.
Arrangements have been made for
them to attend the medical courses
at the University Of Edinburgh free
of charge and to apply the credits
earned there to medical degrees
from various Polish universities.
When the war ends they will be
able, As competent and recognized
doctors. to return to their native
land and step into the shoes OF their
murdered elders The same plan is
being contemplated for other pro-
LESSONS and for nationals OF other
invaded lands.
Establish Foreign Schools.
Perhaps the biggest job the coun-
Gil has undertaken, however, is
the schooling OF refugee children.
There are thousands Of them In
England-chieny Norwegian. Dutch
and Belgian. SO, all over the
country - Norwegian, Dutch and
Belgian primary and elementary
schools have been established where
the youngsters can continue, al
most without break, the same kind
of schooling they would have had
In their native lands. SO far as
possible, native teachers are en-
ployed. In each school English is
taught. but the other classes are in
native tongues.
The council also is providing edu-
cation for the more than $4,000
merchant seamen of other lands
now in England-maintaining teach
ers, for example, on the storm tossed
Norwegian minesweepers which op-
crate in nothern waters and remain
at sea for weeks at a time.
Another service is planned to
bring professional men and trades
men closer to their English count
erparts. For example. if an Ameri-
can doctor in England has leave on
his hands arrangements will be
made for him to spend 1t at the
home Of British doctor.

LONDON tBv main The classi,
halls of Oxford, one OF the cul-
tural capitals OF the English
speaking world. are being opened to
American soldiers here at purely
nominal fees.
Both officers and enlisted men
who can obtain leave will be al
lowed to take courses at this ancient
seat OF learning and receive credits
for them which con be transferred
to colleges in the United States
after the war.
This Is being arranged by the
British Council, government or
ganization for the diffusion of Eng
lish culture and science through
out the world, on the same basis
already enjoyed by Canadian troops
here. Already 4 few Americans
have joined the Oxford classes
through arrangements made with
the Canadians.
Plan Being Expanded.
AS rapidly as possible the same
plan is being applied to other Brit
ish universities, including Cam
bridge and the new widely scat
tered University of London. For
the Canadian troops, well estab-
lished in England before the Amer
leans began to arrive In large num-
bers, wide variety OF educational
opportunities has been arranged by
the council. Trips through agri-
cultural areas and farm experiment
stations are arranged for men who
were farmers in civilian life and
trips through factories for those who
were mechanics. Americans will
shortly be given the same privileges.
1t is recognized. explains Miss
Nancy Parkinson Of the University
Of London faculty, In charge Of the

interlude in the average mans life
and that sooner or later he will
return to his old ways of life rather

Educate Refugees.
This actually constitutes A rather
small part Of the work under Miss
Parkinson's direction. All England
and especially London, is filled
with refugees from invaded coun-
