pay-as-you-go plan was
first proposed in a Senate finance
committee hearing by Beardsley
Ruml, New York financier and
treasurer of one of the nations
largest department stores. The
Ruml plan was something of a
bombShell and it has been explod-
ing at intervals ever since. The
Treasury department at first hit
the ceiling. but Secretary Morgen-
thau and his aides now favor the
plan in a modified form, their
main point of difference with all
out advocates being only the ex-
tent to which Tor percentage of
the Surtaxes are deferred.
Since in the matter of taxes, the
Treasury proposes, and Congress
deposeS, most differences such as
this are unimportant. A compro-
mise is considered certain because
Senator George (D.-Ga), chairman
of the Senate Finance committee,
is keen for pay-as-you-go plan,
and would like to see it PISSED be-
fore March Is; and Representative
Doughton (D.-N.C), chairman of
the House Ways and Means, COM
mittee, has announced that he is
studying ways to defer part or all
of the 1912 tax. ,.
Several members of both COM
mittees have bills in the, offing,
and Republicans and Democrats
are not far apart on some adapta-
ton of the Ruml suggestion.

If the new bills are amend
ments to the 1912 bill, they will in
volve 1912 incomes and can be
passed before the first quarter
due-date March Is. If they are in
corporated in the 1943 tax bill, it's
unlikely that they will become eff
fective before March is payment

The figure most often referred
to at the moment is Is per cent.
Less than that might result in a
greater readjustment payment due
at the end of the year. More, in
some instances, could possibly re-
suit in the Treasury's having to pay
out small sums to compensate for
overpayments.

Tax Goal Unreachab|e
By Fiscal Year S End,
korgenthau Says
Coneurs With Douehton
On Income Levies; Hopes
For New Excise Tolls
By he Associated Press

Secretary Of the Treasury
Morgenthau said today individ-
ualS and corporations need not
expect an increase in income
taxes until next year, but he ex-
pressed hope for enactment Of
legislation in time to make new
excise levies effective before
January /.
Mr.. Morgenthau told a press con-
ference he is in accord with a state
ment by Chairman Doughton of the
House Ways and Means Committee
that no additional taxes should be
levied on l943 incomes and added
that as a result there is no hope of
achieving the administration goal
Of $4,000, 100000 in new taxes and
savings or both in the 1914 fiscal
year which ends next June 30
The year, he pointed out. would
be half over before any new taxes
adequate to achieve the goal could
be made effective.
He said the TreaSury's aim still is
to get sufficient revenue to pay for
half the cost of the war and esti-
mated that at least sl2 900, 900 900 in
additional taxes would be necessary
to meet this objective
Mr.. Morgenthau said the Treas
ury's aim in its war financing pro-
gram will pe to get 25 per cent of
the total earnings of the people in
the last half of this year.
That does hot mean, however, he
explained, that every wage Garner
will be expected to put 25 per cent
of his earrings into War bonds
Instead the Treasury is interested in
siphoning off Is per cent of the over
all earnings of all workers.
The Secretary cited as an example
war worker with several members
of his family also employed. The
Is per cent goal, he said, would ap-
ply to the total earnings of the
family group rather than to the
earnings of any individual member.
Mr.. Morgenthau, estimating the
national income in the last half of
this year at about $72000,00O, 900,
said that on this basis the Treas
ury hopes to get about $4,000 ,OOO.-
900 diverted into the purchase of
War bonds.
Treasury experts already are
working with the Joint Congress
sional Tax Committee on recon-
mendations for new legislation
which congressional leaders an
nounced earlier this week would be
taken up in Congress this fall, he
added.

Confidential files Of David
Ginsburg, former general coun-
sci of the Office of Price Admin
istration, have revealed that the
OPA is seeking to bring the en-
tire American industrial system
under bureaucratic domination
by controlling profits and not by
price fixing, Harold L. Allen,
counsel to the Smith committee,
declared today.
Mr.. Allen made the charge soon
after the committee. which is in
vestigating activities of Federal
agencies, met to resume its public
hearings on OPA orders governing
the hosiery industry.
The committee Subpoenaed the
Ginsburg files shortly after he went
into the military service about a
month ago When Mr.. Ginsburg
resigned from OPA he shipped the
files to his Huntington wv. Va
home.
Under the guise of wartime
price control set up by Congress to
prevent runaway imitation of
prices" Mr.. Allen declared, the
OPA is seeking to bring the entire
American industrial system under
bureaucratic control by regulating
lot the prices, but by controlling
the sum of its profits. and by freez-
ing them at the level earned by
industry during the period from
1885, 1889, irrespective of whether
there has ben an increase in the
price of the manufactured COM
modify
Authority for Policy Denied.
There is no authority for such
policy to be found in the statutes
in the Price Control Act Of January,
1912, or It's amendments, or the Sta
bilization Act of October 2, 1912 The
OPA bases its action largely upon
the authority of executive order
$3.50, part of which, relating to the
fixing of salaries at a $25, 1000 level,
has heretofore been repudiated by
Congress. This order directed the
price administrator in fixing prices
to do so in such manner as to pre-
vent profits which in his judgment
are unreasonable and exorbitant.
Mr.. Allen declared the OPA policy
was disclosed as a result of the
examination of the files of David
Ginsburg."
When counsel for the Smith
Committee first sought to obtain
possession of these files they were
not found" he said, "and subse-
quent inquiry disclosed that Mr..
Ginsburg had shipped them to his
home in West Virginia. Exercising
its subpoena power, the committee
called on the price administrator to
produce the files, and as a result
nine boxes of miscellaneous papers
were delivered"
Among these documents. Mr.. AL
len said, was file marked Profits, ;"
which disclosed that after issuance
of executive order $3.50 there was
"ferment of activity" in the OPA.

wiser, on October 13, 1912, which

LONDON, June 1.-THE Rome
radio quoted a correspondent OF
the newspaper II Messaggero to-
day as reporting the concentra- -
ton of many landing craft"
from the North African coast
toward the Allied-conquered is
land of Pantelleria.
Since Pantelleria ceased resist
ance," 1t said in broadcast re-
corded by the Associated Press, 1.-The
final struggle in the Mediterranean
has been characterized by an in
crease OF Axis air force activity
against enemy shipping in the
Sicilian Channel.
The Axis aerial offensive con-
tinues unrelentingly against many
landing craft concentrating from
the African coast toward Pantelleria
against the concentration of naval
units in that bay and against enemy
convoys sailing eastward from
Gibraltar"
Peace Feeler Report Denied.
Meanwhile, referring to another
development in Axis held Southern
Europe, the Rome radio reported
from Bucharest that Rumanian au-
thorities in communique denied
that Rumania was seeking sep
arate peace. An Ankara report yes
terday said Rumania had sent out
peace feelers.
Axis anxieties about the Balkans
were emphasized today with a re-
port of the hurried dispatch OF
Ernst kaltenbrunner, chief of the
German security police, to Rumania
for reorganization of the police force
there.
At the same time. the Moscow
radio reported that the atmosphere
in Bucharest, the Rumanian capital
was very tense" and that many of
the coun.ry's prominent politicians
were in hiding.
A Tass dispatch from Geneva re-
ported both developments.
Rumanian security police had been
arrested, that Gen. Ullea, the court
chamberlain. was in protective Gus
tody, and that Julio MANU-, Peasant
Party leader, was under Gestapo
supervision.
The Algiers radio was quoted in
Stockholm dispatches to London
morning newspapers as saying the
expectation of separate Italian
peace was growing among the Italian
masses and that frenzied applause
greeted Pope Plus XII every time
he mentioned peace in his address
Sunday.
SovietN Talks Denied.
A Reuters dispatch from Stock
holm quoted the Soviet Minister
there as denying reports that Ger
man and Russian representatives
had met to discuss a possible peace
An Algiers broadcast also report
ed the Allies were increasing land
ing exercises around Pantelleria
and that the Axis was getting more
and more nervous"
The German radio asserted, mean
while, in a broadcast heard by

blood bath without precedent" and
that "two-thirds of the landing
force will be wiped out even before
