EdrlyAction on
Payroll TaxCurb
Committee Approves
Measure to Suve
5 Millions q Year

Early House action on the MoGe.
hee bill. revising the payroll tax
for District unemployment COM
pensation In q way estimated to
save employers at least 5000 900 4
year, was hoped for today by Chair
man Randolph and other members
OF the House District Committee
after the group approved the meas
ure yesterday.
Twelve members Of the committee
voted to report the bill and four
voted present" The proposed
amendment to the law would SUBJ
stitute for the present nat payroll
tax Of 81 per cent an experience
rating" plan, under wrich the tax
would range from one-tenth of l
per cent to 27 per cent. The tax
would depend on each employers
employment record. Those with the
fewest former employees drawing
compensation would pay the least
tax
Would Preserve BENEFITS.
Sponsors Of the measure pointed
out that 1t would preserve all bene-
f1ts OF the Unemployment Compen-
sation Act, even increasing some,
and maintain an adequate reserve
at all times. The present reserve
mas grown to q huge surplus Of
around $35 900 900. While this would
be reduced to a point regarded bv
fiscal experts as more reasonable and
less wasteful, the adequency of the
surplus would be preserved by a
provision in the bill requiring an
additional amount to be paid by
each employe II the size should reaci,
a danger point"
1t Is estimated 80 per cent OF fl1e
Districts employers covered by the
act would qualify for a payroll tax
rate Of lilo Of l per cent under the
provisions OF the amendment. The
rate reduction would continue a.
long as. an employer had q good
employment record"
Experience" Plan Favored.
At brief hearing which preceded
an Executive Committee meeting
yesterday, all representatives Of EN-
ployers present favored the expert
ence-rating plan. Two labor repre.
sentatives opposed 1t.
Mr.. Randolph planned to ask
House leaders to place the bill On
| the calendar as soon as possible.
The measure, in virtually identical
form, was reported out by the COM
mite late In the last session and
came up IN the House on consent
calendar, but was blocked by the OBJ
lection OF q single member and, In
the closing legislative jam, failed to
come up again. Since 1t Is revenue
raising measure, it must originate In
the House, and thus the Senate has
not had q chance to consider It.

The automotive official said that
practically all the large garages were
remaining in business, although
many OF the smaller one-man shops
had closed down. About 80 per cent
of the Districts new car dealers, he
said, are still operating as service
garages, and many of them have
cleared out their showrooms and are
using them for repair work.
Meanwhile, Robert L. Lewis, presi-
dent Of the automotive association,
reminded Washington residents that
the list of persons eligible to pur-
chase new cars still held in dealers
stocks was recently expanded by the
OPA. He pointed out that any per-
son who needs a car for the pur-
pose described in the &C" book list
may buy one, even though his actual
mileage requirements do not entitle
him to a &C" book.
The OPA recently also revised its
definition OF "high-priced" cars to
include any automobile listed for
more than $500 instead of $500.
All such cars, except 1941 models
and convertibles, may now be sold
to eligible persons.
10000 Cars Still Frozen.
Mr.. Lewis said that about go, ,O90
automobiles were still frozen" in
dealers showrooms.
Persons eligible to buy new cars
include those who need them for
ofncial Government or Red Cross
business. travel from school to
school, group transportation to
school, carrying United States mail
wholesale newspaper delivery and
supervision, carrying portable
Photographic equipment, profess
sional medical calls, calls by licensed

Maryland Farmers
Reported Selling Off
Lands and Cattle
Labor and MACHINERY
Shortages Are Blamed;
Prices Said to Be Hioh
By the Associated Press.

=
BALTIMORE, March 6.-Numer-
Gus farms and cattle are being sold
In Maryland because of labor short
ages and other wartime handicaps,
the Evening Sun said today.
The Evening Sun said county
newspapers had published notices
advertising the sales, and added
that compilation showed 500 to
800 cattle were slated for. sale in
Baltimore County within the next
30 days.
In addition to the labor problem,
the Evening Sun listed the lack of
priorities to purchase needed equip
ment and difficulties of marketing
transportation as other reasons for
farmers abandoning their farms.
Appearing as the undersigned
in many Of the public sales notices
are names representing many we'll
known Maryland families who are
selling OIL their farms, livestock and
farm implements" the newspaper
added.
Numerous other equally we'll
known dirt farmers and dairymen
likewise have given up their hopes
OF recent seasons that farming con-
ditions might get better, and have
advertised their places in county
papers throughout the State"
Prices were said to be high for
the farms.
The Evening Sun quoted Milton
]. Dance. Towson, Nd, auctioneer,
as saying:
"A lot Of people are going hungry
next winter, unless something Is
done to check the influx Of mex
perienced persons into the farming
business and the abandonment by
real farmers and truck growers Of
lands which they find they can
no longer manage without adequate
help, and under present conditions. !"

In Local Bridge Circles
By Frank B. Lord.

The fact that Washington is
bridge minded as we'll as War-con-
scious was illustrated one day last
week by an incident at the National
Press Club. A group of writers was
gathered about the Round Table,
discussing the war, with particular
reference to the terms, phrases and
expressions used by correspondents
in describing the battle fronts.
What is a bridge head, anyway"
asked one of them.
Specifically" answered quick
witted Homer j. Dodge, Il would
say a bridge head is Ely CulbertSon."
The Sigos and the Naval Reserves,
both new teams with some old men,
berS in them, have taken leadership
in the season series of team of four
games of the Federal Bridge League
at the Wardman Park Hotel. Four
other foursomes won more games
than either of them in the opening
session, but each played in larger
number and their percentage was
less. The Rangers won 15R out of
"a boards, the Allies Is out of "a and
the Westerners and the Govern
ment, each 141a out of "a, while the
Sigos and the Naval Reserves were
winning IA out of 81 boards, which
placed them ahead in the percent
age list.
Mrs. B. Palmer and Mr.. Myers,
Government team, with 1853 points,
were high pair North and South in
the first section, and DR.. w. H. Cor

the games were played, r. H. Hig-
gins and o. r. Mathers, Allies, were

Kiser, Rangers, were high East and

Halt q World Awoy
By Frances Long. (Farrar G.
Rinehart.)

Rinehart.)
Two of those who fed Shanghai
before the onrushing Japanese were
Frances Long, whose father was a
United States consular official there,
and marine she had promised to
marry. They were a strange pair +;
Miss Long had just finished an au-
stere schooling in England and the
Marine was professional soldier.
At Manila. the war caught up
with them. After the marine sailed
to defend Corregidor, Miss Long
was imprisoned in Santo Tomas
University. Her book is the honest,
unadorned account of what Japa-
nese internment camp was like for
a sensitive woman whose fiance was
separated from her by a narrow
strip of water over which the Japa-
nese were making infamous history.
Miss Long, returned to her parents
in Shanghai on a Red Cross ship
after months of Incarceration, ulti-
mately reached the United States
on the Conte Verde. But her ma
rine still is prisoner of the Japa-
nese.
The books principal virtue is its
honesty. If it has message, it is
that only disaster can come of un-
derrating the Japs. Miss Long,
who was abused and insulted by
them, offers the retaliation of ex-
termination. And many readers will
certainly feel that no leniency is
indicated. WILLIAM H. ADAMS.

The Two MorshoIs
BY Philip Guedalla. (Reynal
G. Hitchceck.l7>.7 n

G. Hitchceck.l 44.vD s,,.>ts.cz-s siff
Marshal Bazaine refused until the
bitter end to admit defeat in the
Franco Prussian War. But when the
end came he was blamed by the
French for all the humiliation that
it brought with it. That was because
France needed a scapegoat.
Marshal Petain admitted too soon
that France was defeated, and re-
fused to change his mind. He blamed
the French for their own humilia-
tion-because he needed a scape-
goat.
Philip Guedalla's story of the two
marshals, whose careers are SO much
alike and yet so different, spans a
century of French history. Bazaine
is the center of more than two
thirds of the book. He was, appar-
emily, an able man cursed by bad
luck.
Petain, on the other hand
emerges as a less able man whose
worst luck was born of his own
stubbornness. But, to give him his
due, he has always been consistent
AS far back as the First World War
when he was one of the democratic
worlds heroes, some of his senti-
ments were totalitarian.
Mr.. Guedalla has the knack OF
making history as interesting to
read as fiction, and THE Two
Marshalls" is further proof of that
fact, If any is needed.
