Tax Bill Puts
Premium on
June Brides
~ the Associated Press.

Congressional tax authorities dis
covered today that the House Ways
and Means Committee, in effect, has
put premium on June brides anc
spring babies.
The group wrote into the new tas
bill provision that beginning next
year, "for the purpose of the per.
sonal exemption and credit for de-
pendents, the status of the taxpayer
shall be determined as of July / OF
the taxable year"
This means that a man married
on July or thereafter would gel
an exemption of single person fol
that year-s500-but if he wed be-
fore July he would have a married
mans exemption of $1,000.
Similarly, there would be no de.
pendency credit in the current tax
year for new baby unless borr
before July l.
The provision is designed to sim
plify the present law, which provides
"a fractional basis for such exemp-
tions and credits.

PEARL HARBOR, Nov. 90
An American aircraft carrier
task force, moving boldly into
waters far to the southwest OF
Hawaii, has added the punching
power of its planes to that OF
Army bomberS in greatly ex-
panding the daily air attacks on
Japan's mid-Pacific bases.
The carrier planes Thursday un-

French Bill No. 1913

This bill implies that force and
aggression r normal processes in
the relations between business and
labor, and it was a wholly unwar-
ranted implication that strong
criminal laws are necessary to re-
strain lawless actions of labor
organizations.
More than any other bill ever
introduced in American legisla-
ture this one come closer to abso-
lutte totalitarianism and would
create a bureaucratic gestapo to
spy upon members of labor Or
CARNATIONS.
The bill states it is aimed at
racketeering and dishonesty in
labor unions but in reality it will
foment such conditions by re-
moving the control of unions over
racketeers and set up discord in
industrial relations. In brief, the
state would set up a dictatorial
board of three men who would
dictate union policy.
Plainly speaking, it would be
possible to put you in Jail or at
least penalize you for either
BEL LONGING or NOT belonging.
That is the very worst feature of
the bill. Other contents are as
bad, and If this bill should pass,
Hitler will have made his initial
step towards governing our Amer
lea.

THE CIVILIAN
WAR FRONT
BY the CLIO Cost of Living
Committee

The OPA dollars and cents
prices on beef, veal and lamb,
which were announced this week
to go into effect April is, are both
good and bad.
They are good because they are
uniform and easily enforceable
ceilings. Like the pork prices pre-
viously announced, these prices
vary with the nine regional zones
into which the country has been
divided. There are two classical
tons of prices, one for the indie
pendent stores and one for the
chain stores doing a business in
excess of $25O,OOO a year.
AL prices are tied to Depart
ment of Agriculture grades of
meat. The grades must be shown
on the meat, while the list of
prices for the various cuts and
grades must be plainly posted in
every store.
What is bad about the new
prices is that they represent a sub
stantial rise over previous legal
ceiling prices, which varied from
store to store. The rise is partic-
ularly marked when the COM
parison is made for the chain
stores. Their previous legal prices
were anywhere from 10 to 20 per
cent below the present ceilings.
It is true that the low chain
store prices were mostly a fiction,
since these stores have had very
little meat to sell. Most of the
SUPPLIES went to the stores that had
higher ceiling prices or to stores
that sold their meat without re-
gard to ceiling prices, high or low.
Nevertheless many consumers have
been buying at least part of their
meat at substantially lower prices
than they will now be forced to
Fay.
The OPA has sought to explain
the new prices a. lower than the
actual prices which consumers
have been paying in recent months.
This explanation makes a monkey
of the B. L. S. Cost of Living
Index, whose meat prices, evil
IDENTIFY rejecting legal ceiling
prices rather than actual prices,
have shown almost no change
since, March 1912. The 3. Z. S.
figures vii now have to make a
