|. A. M. Collects S125,0OO
Back Pay for Members

Washington, D. c. The Interna-
tional Association of Machinists col
lected $125,00O in back wages for it's
members in three plants recently.
At the propeller division of the
Curtiss- Wright Aircraft Corporation,
100000 was paid out to employees in
retroactive pay under job reclassi-
fcation plan negotiated by the union.
The plan also raised the current wage
scales of many employees.
At the Taft-Pierce Company
Woonsocket, R. l., $4,000 was recov-
cred for employees who had been i'm
properly paid for overtime work.
Another 100000 in back wages was
secured by the l. A. M. for 400 lead
men at Goodyear Aircraft, Phoenix
Ariz., who had been rated at lower
classification than their jobs war
ranted.

HATCHET-TOTIN' SEABEE
GETS JAP AND MEDAL

Washington, D. c. (ILNS.-When
Carpenters Mate &c Carl l. Hull, 46,
of San Pedro, Calf, set out to learn
the carpenters trade, little did he
realize that his trusted hatchet would
some day be the weapn that would
result in the capture of prisoner on
the battlefront. But it did.
From the South Pacific comes the
story that Hull got little bored on
Pearl Harbor anniversary day. Select
ing a hatchet, he went out into the
jungles and short time later came
back with live japanese marching
in front of him.
Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox
repeated Admiral William F. Halsey's
characterization of Hull as ''hatchet-
packing Seabee and worthy of our
South Pacific jungle-hacking, Jap
cracking all-services team"
Hull was awarded the silver star
medal by Admiral Halsey for the feat,
an account of which was given Inter
national Labor News Service by the
Navy Departments Industrial Incen-
tive Division.

of human life.
1--WE owe it to our fighting forces
to eliminate as far as humanity pos
sible excessive war profits, as well as
to remove the possibility of new
crop of war profiteers. Profits outside
of what are reasonable and legitimate
and necessary to prevent impairment
Of private industry after the war, are
indefensible.
"When the record of profit making
on war contracts is disclosed, the Am
erican people will, in my opinion, be
shocked"
Secretary Patterson declared that
profiteering in war industries is still
widespread, despite enforcement of
the renegotiation provisions.
eve are doing our best to prevent
profiteering, he said.
As a result of many complaints to
Congress from industry, the War De-
partment's contract renegotiation pro-
gram was investigated by three diff
ferent Congressional committees, Mr..
Patterson said, and in all three "they
came to the conclusion we were doing
a good, fair job and there was nothing
to the complaints"

TREND TOWARD LOWER
STATE INCOME TAXES

Chicago (ILNS) S).-Trend of state
personal income tax legislation this
year was, with few exceptions, toward
lower income taxes, the Federation of
Tax Administrators reports. This is
in marked contrast to state tax legis-
lation in several other fields-tobacco
and liquor excises for example-where
the trend was toward more and higher
taxes.
Two states South Dakota and
West Virginia-dropped out of the in
come tax field altogether, West Vir-
ginia repeating it's 8-year-old personal
income tax over the governors veto.
Two other states, Wisconsin and Ore
gon, repealed surtaxes on income.
Only major exception to the trend
toward lower income taxes was the
action by Delaware's legislature in
levying an additional tax of l percent
on gross income for 1943 and 1914,
with the statute allowing a credit
against gross income up to $156 a
quarter, or 1924 for any. calendar
year, the same as the federal tax.
Other income tax lie s O n
touched on rate reductions, credits,
deductions and exemptions Most i'm
portant of the personal income tax
rate reductions were those enacted by
California and Oregon, though action
by Iowa and Maryland in permitting
credits of so and 331s percent re-
spectively actually were reductions in
rates, the federation said.

Bombing Alone Can Defeat Germany,
Downey of California Declares
Others Question Wisdom OF Second Front Attack; Ask
That Limited Share Be Given to the United States;
Against United States To Bear Blunt of Invasion

Washington, D. G. (ILNS) Sharp
criticism of the projected invasion of
Western Europe came from three
well known U. S. Senators, as "high
government official" who evidently
didn't have the courage to speak
openly, was quoted in the press as
predicting that the invasion would
bring terrific casualties, perhaps
three times as many as the United
States has suffered so far.
Senator Sheridan Downey, Califor-
MIA, was the first to speak, expressing
