DETROIT, Dec. 16.-Police de.
tanned four men and three womer
today for questioning about recent
safe robberies and announced they
had seized list indicating that g
gang planned to loot more than
500 business houses in Detroit and
nearby cities.
Detectives confiscated safe-crack-
Ing equipment described by Paul O.
Wencel, chief of detectives, as the
most complete ever seized by De-
troit police.
In two suitcases found along with
acetylene torches and other tools
in a North Side garage, detectives
said they recovered stolen gasoline
ration coupons good for more than
2,500,000 gallons and records indi-
eating sales of other coupons.
Chief Wencel said the four men
would be questioned concerning
nearly 100 recent safe robberies in
Michigan, including burglaries of
Office of Price Administration
branches at Flint and Grand Rapids.
Showing the scope of the gangs

ton of safes, probable length of
time for cracking them, and means
of getaway.
Chief Wencel said the equipment
seized included a dozen tanks for
acetylene torches, complete with
cables and torches, hammers, chisels
wedges, croWbars and knives.
In the garage where most of this
equipment was found, detectives

Nazi Leaders Confer
On Ways Of Meeting
Allied Production
lao Experts Reported in
Urgent Meeting With
Generals and AdmiroIs
Y the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, Feb. 27.-The Nazi
Minister OF Munitions, Prof. Albert
Speer, was reported today to have
called an urgent conference of 140
Of Germany's leading economic ex-
perts to discuss means Of matching
the flood of war materials being
turned out by United Nations
arsenals.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Dagens Nyheter wrote that the
meeting Is being held at a castle
near Kulmbach, in Western Ger
many, and that 16 generals and
admirals and 81 industrial directors
also are helping lay plans for new
and revolutionary methods Of saw
ing raw materials and workers
energy"
Great quantities Of American and
British war materials reaching the
fronts despite Germany's U-boats
are reported to have shocked the
Nazis into series of urgent meas
ures in an effort to sustain the
economic pace. The present con-
ference IS the latest step.
Reliable reports from Germany
declare that production has been
dropping gradually since a peak was
hit last May and that In the last
two months the decline has been
accelerated.
Inefficiency of Labor.
The ineffciency of foreign labor
is said to have been especially dis
appointing to the Nazis. This com
bined with heavy German losses a,
the fighting fronts, has forced Hit
Ter to declare total mobilization
and to strike a careful balance be-
tween the urgent needs of the army
and war industry.
Keeping the wheels moving with
unframed personnel, especially
women, is Tie Nazis' main problem
Forty thousand workers training
schools have been established, and
Prof. Speer has appealed for the
good will of both workers and en-
ployers.

u. S. Dive Bombers Raid
Jap Air Base at Mundo

At least one Japanese plane was
destroyed and many fires" started
among the enemy installations in
another heavy raid bv American
dive bombers Friday on the japanese
air base at Munda on New Georgia
Island, to the westward of Guadal-
canal. the Navy reported in a COM
munique yesterday.
The raid was the 77th visit of
American airmen to drop bombs on
Munda. Loss of the one plane
raised to S75 the number of enemy
aircraft destroyed in the air and
on the ground during the battle
for the Solomons.
The communique also reported
that on Thursday, United States

the situation with kid gloves. He
went out of his way in a recent
address to warn Of death to "saho-
teurs," Broadly, this means that
every obstructionist is subject to
execution.
An indication of the state of Ger
many's communications system is
seen in an order transferring all
non-war freight to canals, which
normally can carry only 80 per
cent of the nations traffic. Mail
to the front also has been stopped
because of transport reasons"
Need for Armament.
Though the Nazis have been pre-
pared by a shortage of locomotives,
hey apparently need heavy guns
and armament more, for the German
press reported that an engine re-
pair shop had been converted to the
production of heavy war equipment.
Aerial raids have upset Hitler's
finely drawn war economy. At a
time when the Germans were at
tempting to eliminate virtually all
civilian production, even to the point
CT closing several hundred thousand
stores and shops by March Is. de-
struction wrought by the bombers
forced them to build up an emerg-
ency supply OF 200 articles. These
were mainly household articles ur-
gently needed by bombed-out fam
lilies.
German war invalids are being
trained for industry and frequently
are sought in advertisements. One
such advertisement in the Essener

guard Russian prisoners of war, en-
phasized that even invalids may

Mobilization Extended.
Total mobiliza ton has been ex-

Withholding Phase
OF Pay-as-You-Go
Tax Considered
House Subcommittee
Will Seek Decision
Early This Week
BY the Associated Press.

Apparently stymied on the
problem of what part of a tax
year should be Cancelled, the
House Ways and Means Subcom-
mittee considering pay-as-you-
60 proposals decided yesterday
to let the issue simmer for a while
and turned to consideration of
the withholding phase.
Chairman Cooper announced af-
ter long Saturday session that the
group would seek to dispose Of
the withholding feature early this
week.
The Treasury Department has
suggested a withholding levy of
around 10 per cent against taxable
income by which weekly, semi
monthly or monthly deductions
would be made from pay envelopes
and salary checks. This would not
be an additional tax, but withhold
ings would be applied against taxes
to be computed at the year end.
Ruml Plan Party Issue.
Meanwhile, the proposal by Boards
ley Ruml, chairman of the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, for by
passing one Federal income tax
year to facilitate the transition to
current collection system appeared
to be shaping up as a party issue,
supported principally by Republicans
and opposed by leading Democrats.
The full Ways and Mean Commit
tee turned down the Ruml plan on
strict party vote-10 Republicans for
and IS Democrats against. The
committee also rejected other pend
ing current payment proposals and
turned the problems over to the sub
committee. @
Capitol Hill heard considerable
talk about the possible circulation
of petition to discharge the Ways
and Means Committee and bring
the issue directly to the floor, but
some leading supporters discour-
aged such tactics.
Clark Favors Proposal.
While the Ruml plan has received
principal support from Republicans,
and Democrats spearhead the op-
position, party lines are not rigid
on the issue. Several House Re-
publicans, among them Representa-
Evening star., 1943-02-28

tice Crawford of Michigan, have
expressed vigorous opposition, and
on the Senate side Democrat, Sen
ator Clark of Missouri, is one of the
principal supporters.
One House Republican, speaking
privately, expressed the opinion that
some of the 10 Republicans on the
Ways and Means Committee voted
for the modified Ruml plan as a
friendly gesture to Representative
Carlson, Republican of Kansas,
author of bill embracing the plan,
after it was apparent no pay-as-
you-go proposition could command
a majority vote.
