The shortage Of waste paper is nor more critical
than at any time since the War began! Endless
shipl9ads of medical, food, ammunition and
essential military supplies are being sent over
seas in containers made from converted waste
paper. These containers remain overseas-which
partially explains the alarming sdSte paper
shortage.
Another obvious reason for the shortage-many
lceopons of being made from uaSte paper.
Some of these include bomb bands, ammunition
chests, shell protectors fuel tank Innings, para
chute flares and others.
If you really want to help America deliver the
goods" to the fighting fronts, save your waste
paper Thousands of additional tons needed
right now!

FOrgiying of Taxes Owed .- Already Cited By Presi-
 dent as Serious

Washington, Jan. 8--(UP)-Pres- 1. ident Roosevelt today expressed ap- proyal of putting the country on 8 pay-as-you-go tax basis but cited as a serious problem any change over which would involve the for- giving of taxes already owed.
 Asked at a press conference for comment on congressional discus- sion of some form of a pay-as-you- go income tax plan, the president said he thought we all favor getting on a pay-as-we-go basis, particularly to avoid the difficulties of accumu- lating money throughout a year to pay taxes on income being earned .at the same time.
 The real problem, he said, in changing over to such a basis is de- ciding whether to omit entirely the payment of certain portion of the present taxes owed to the govern Inent.
 To forgive portion of the taxes owed on the 1942 income, he said, would result in an ultimate loss to the treasury.
 He was asked when such 8 loss would become evident if the pay-as- you-go system were continued in definitely. MT. Roosevelt replied that the loss would not show irl- mediately. Ultimately, however, say in a period of 10 years-it would show up. he added.
 Outlining the advantages of pay as-you-go plan of federal taxation, Mir. Roosevelt said he thought such a plan would be easier on a tax payer because he would not have to accumulate the cash. Or, as the president explained 1t, if you don't have the money in your pocket, you do not spend 1t.
 A lot of people, he said, like the idea Of forgiying portion of the taxes on 1922 income, While that is good for the individual, he said 1t means that the treasury will be

AUTO TRAFFIC IS DW|NDLINC N. Y. City Highways Dee serted !; Radical Changes
 in East
(By United Press)

Automobile traffic dwindled in IT eastern seaboard states today as the full effect of the Office of Price Administrations crackdown on pleasure driving became appar- ent.
 The usual steady streams of cars on the broad highways leading into New York city had thinned to a trickle. In the city itself busses, taxicabs and delivery trucks vir- tually were the only traffic.
 Ltnousines were missing at the Metropolitan Opera House and at the numerous night clubs and thea ters. Patrons were aware police men had been stationed at such places to take the license number of cars.
 . In Westchester and other su- blirhS, country clubs were consider ing buSseS as a possible means of getting members to continue pa- tronage. Commuters trains and busseS were crowded to capacity.
 Elsewhere through the eastern area the lack of gasoline and fuel oil for heating brought radical changes in living-and but few pro- tests.g
 In Albany, N. F., William T. Clemens, general secretary of the State Council of Churches, an- nounced he would file protest against what he termed the "un- fair" distribution of gasoline. He charged that brewery trucks "re- ce1ye all the gas they want" and that on the other hand he said he had to cancel two conferences of the council because members driv- ing to the meetings might be chal- lenged by rationing authorities.
 Police in Buffalo, N. Y, checked more than 300 motorists, asked them their destination and marked down license numbers if the trip seemed non-essential. The numbers were to be turned over to OPA officials for further investigation.
 Officials of the Rochester, N. r., Philharmonic orchestra will consid- CT opening concerts earlier in the evening to catch patrons downtown. The decision came after last nights performance, when OPA enforce ment agents went among the aud- fence, confiscating ration books of some and taking license numbers of others.

Ban Likely to Remain in . Force for Several More
 Months

BY JOSEPH w. GREGG, JR. Limited Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, January B. (UP) = Officials doubted today that the enforcement of the prohibition on pleas ure driving in the east would be carried to the point of stopping cars, but thought that drivers halted for acci- dents or minor law infrac- tions would be questioned as to their reason for using their cars.
 Investigations will be made, they said. of cars parked outside motion picture theaters, amusement parks, dance halls, bowling alleys, golf courses, skating rinkS, night clubs and other amusement places.
 Measures to enforce the prohibi- ton which went into effect yesterday in 1T east coast states were n f''u swing. They were expected to be irl- tensified over the weekend, when the greatest amount of pleasure driving is done.
 Enforcement by questioning driv- CTS stopped for accidents is similar to measures adopted during prohibi- ton to halt transportation of liquor. Few cars were stopped for the spe- cific purpose of searching for liquor, but police officials inspected all cars halted for any other purposes.
 Many Nabbed
 Office of Price Administration in spectors, state and local law enforce rnent officers were carrying out the check-up. No figures were available yet of the number of violators nabbed.
 Participation of state and local police in the drive was voluntary, but OPA officials were confident ot full cooperation.
 In cases of fragrant violation OPA inspectors were empowered to re- quest the surrender of ration books on the spot. There would be turned over to the local War Price and Ra- tioning Board which issued them and which would conduct a hearing to decide if they should be with" drawn for the duration.
 Local law enforcement authorities have not been empowered to confis- cate books. They were merely being asked to report all cases of indicated violation to the nearest local board or to OPA state or district offices for appropriate action.
 OPA officials said the pleasure driving ban was likely to remain m force for some months. There was no indication yet whether 1t would

New York, January 8. = (UP) = Fifth Avenue was almost as quiet as Main street on a Sunday.
 A few automobiles, belonging to physicians or similar essential drivers, chugged along between busses and taxis. Occasionally, a private automobile passed.
 It, like all other streets in New York, were sent back to the dawn of the automobile age by the ban on pleasure driving. Gone was the ceaseless roar of traffic, the squeal of brakes, the believing of police men.
 In fact, 1t appeared that most ot the traffic cops could soon be trans ferred to other jobs. There was no traffic directing for them to do They were temporarily occupied taking the license numbers of au- tomobiles they did see out, to de- termine whether they were out fo1 pleasure. @:

 Moscow, January 8.-UP) - Russian forces smashed forward in two directions in their Caucasus offensive to- day, driving one spearhead to within 60 miles of RoStov and the other 56 miles from Salsk, important Axis de- fense point.
