Joined in the strike, all four
stores have been operating.
A spokesman for the United
Retail, Wholesale & Department
Store Employees (ClO) said

and arbitration OF grievances.
The amount Of back pay was

0PA IS PLANNING
GAS BOOK CHECK

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-CP -
One week from tomorrow, the
OPA plans a nationwide check up
on gasoline ration books to see
whether their owners have endors-
ed the coupons.
Administrator Chester BoWles,
announcing the plan tonight, said
such endorsement - the writing
of automobile license tag numbers
on each coupon - provides "the
only sure-fire way of tracing
leaks to gasoline black markets. =
Motorists found with unendors-
ed coupons after March are to
be given a notice requiring them
to show fully endor5ed books to
their local ration boards within 10
days. "Any motorist who fails to
do this faces revocation of ra-
TONS" said OPA Administrator
Chester BoWles.
BoWles recently estimated that
$500, 1000. gallons of gasoline were
being lost through the black mar
ket daily, or a gallonage which
could permit a Is per cent in
crease in the low-mileage motor
lists rations.

At an earlier meeting, the COM

Ir manner, so far as possible,
70 retain the present tax burdens
against all levels of income each
taxpayer, including those paying
small victory taxes, continuing 70

However, these simpllfclatlon

Or does the sinplification eff

Chairman George D-Ga) of the
Senate Finance Committee said he
believed the total tax for some
30 600, 900 taxpayers deriving their
income from wages and salaries
might be collected through the
Withholding levy.
The other 10000, 900 taxpayers -
those in high income brackets, the
professional people and self-em-
pioyed, receiving income other
than from wages and salaries -
may be required to continue filing
regular income tax returns.
