 Washington, Jan. 6-(UP)-The campaign for a pay-as-you-go inc come tax plan got another big boost today from Chairman Walter F. George, D., Ga, of the Senate finance committee who called for enactment of such a system before March IS.
 He envisages no general revision of federal tax structure at this time, but told reporters that early action by Congress to enable taxpayers to meet their tax obligations currently by paycheck deductions was essen- tial If the people are not to be swamped by the new high tax rates.
 "It's highly important that any new tax legislation be immediately taken up and disposed of if possi- ble by March 15," he said. T don't know if that is possible but 1t would be very pleasing to the finance com mittee if the House ways and means committee gets right to work"
 Recent demands by Senators Rob- eft A. Ta1C, H., O., ana benueLC V. Clark, D., Mo, both members of the finance committee, that Congress undertake immediately the task of writing a new tax bill without wait- ing for treasury recommendations were supported by Rep. Frank Carlson, R., Karls., a ways and means committee member. Carlson plans to introduce resolution to put income tax collections on a pay y-as-you-go basis, and it was expected that he would seek early committee hearings.
 Both Chairman Robert L.. Dough- ton, D., N. O., and Rep. Allen T. Treadway, R., Mass, ranking Re- publican of the ways and means committee, have endorsed some form of pay -you-go plan. Dough

In that neatly ordered school, such trif1ing though neces- sary interludes as romance were guided by rules that were splen- did in their simplicity.
 Neither passions of the grand order, the perpetuation of blue blood, nor the sustenance of social prestige were the desiderata. The young were supposed to fall in love where it would do the most good. In such fortnight fashion, those sinews which took their first rlourishment from paper bags or imitation velvet were nurtured and renewed.
