PACT TO DEFER MEN

dustry ard those beyond that age
are too old for front line fighting.
Calls In Hershey
He set aside his weekend for
work on the problem and, as a
start, called in selective service
director Lewis B. Hershey for a
fresh canvass OF the situation.
Hershey talked with Mr.. Roose'
welt for about an hour and on
leaving told reporters, mo COM
ment."
The president expects to have a
statement early next week on
manpower. 1t may establish some
standard for determining which
men under 26 may have occupa-
tional deferments.
The war manpower commission
and the war production board
have been trying to hit on some
formula, acceptable to the military
services, since selective service
sharply restricted occupational
deferments for men 10 to Is years
ole.
About $4,000 men in that age
bracket now are deferred and pro-
duction officials say there are
50, 600 who cannot be drafted with
out doing serious injury to war
production. On the other hand,
military authorities are reported
to believe virtually all should be
drafted.
One idea which has been ad-
vanced is to establish list of
key industries in which men would
be deferred and keep it under con-
slant review, making changes as
arms production needs change
Another is to establish local COM
mittees to advise draft boards
which local industries are most vi
| tai.
Rubber director Dewey indica+-
ed at a news conference that no.
thing satisfactory to all parties
has been found.
81 cannot conceive that mech
anism (for retaining needed men
in industry will not be found
he said. But as yet none is avail
able and ;1replaceable men are be-
ing LOST
Dewey was even more emphatic
at his conference than in his re-
port that the rubber industry can
not stand heavy draft of young
er men.
Military authorities have taken
the view, however, that virtually
all men 10 to Is should be drafted
While the WPB sources did not
disclose all details of the policy
understanding, it is understood to
preclude continued "blanket pro-
lection" for the under 26 men in
the west coast aircraft industry.
They would take their chances,
along with younger key men in
other critical industries, of being
included in the 10000 to be de-
| ferred.

God
Permits War!

Why does God permit war? Why
does He permit cruelty, injustice,
pain, starvation, sickness and
death?
Thirty years ago, in Forbidden
Tibet, behind the highest noun
tains in the world, a young Eng
1ishman named Edwin j. Dingle
found the answers to these ques-
tons. A great mystic opened his
eyes. A great change came over
him. He realized the strange Pow
er that knowledge gives.
That Power, he says, can trans
form the life of anyone. Questions,
whatever they are, can be ans
wered. The problems of health,
death. poverty and wrong can be
solved.
In his own case, he was brought
back to splendid health. He &C
quired wealth, too, as we'll as
worldwide professional recogni-
ton. Thirty years ago, he was sick
as man could be and live. Once
his coffin was bought Years oil
almost continuous tropical fevers,
broken bones, near blindness. pri-
walton and danger had made a
human wreck of him, physically
and mentally.
He was about to be sent back
to England to die. when a strange
message came" They are waiting
for you in Tibet" He wants to tell
the whole world what he learned
there, under the guidance of the
greatest mystic he ever encounter
ed during his twenty-one years ir
the Far East. He wants everyone
to experience the greater health
and the Power, which there cam,
to him.
Within ten years, he was abb!

to retire TO this country with a
fortune. He had been honored by
fellowships in the Worlds leading
geographical societies, for his
work as a geographer. And today,
30 years later, he is still so ath-
letic, capable of SO much work, so
young in appearance, it is hard
to believe he has lived so long.
AS a first step in their progress
toward the Power that knowledge
gives, Mr.. Dingle wants to send to

ENACTMENT OF TAX
SIMPLIFICATION SEEN
CONTINUED from Page One)

Congress may be at odds on the
amount of taxes, there is emphatic
harmony on how to collect them.
In words calculated to heal some
of the wounds of the recent veto
battle, in which the administration
took a terrific beating from Con-
gress, the secretary said:
THE Ways and Means Commit.
tee. under the able leadership OF
Congressman Doughton O.N.C)
has done a great piece OF work.
It is a great job not only because
it is going to provide welcome re-
lief for the taxpayer - relief to
which the taxpayer certainly is en-
titled-but because the job OF for
mulating a simplification bill was
done with such dispatch and with
out confusion of any sort.
NV people here in the treasury
have spoken highly of the coopera-
ton they were given by the com
mittee's tax experts. We contribut-
ed the best we had, and so did
the committee experts. So did the
committee. The result is a well
conceived and intelligently planned
recommendation for Congress that
will prove great boon to the
country"
Under the "streamliner" the
present 20 per cent withholding
system against wages and salaries
would be revised to deduct the full
tax liability for persons earning up
to $1,000, numbering about 30, 0O0,-
600. However, no change would be
made in the amounts held out OF
pay envelopes and salary checks
until next January l.
Devised as war measure, the
victory tax would be eliminated,
and new system Of normal and
surtax rates and exemptions set
up retaining as near as possible
the present burdens against all tax
payers.
Meanwhile, simplification made
a preliminary bow in the treas
ury's new forms for estimating
1914 taxes. The "streamliner"
makes no change in the require
ment that tax estimates and partial
payments made by this April Is on
1914 income by those taxpayers
whose taxable income exceeds ST.
700 for single persons and $500
for married couples and those with
more than 500 income from sourc-
es other than wages and salaries.
Although similar to those inaugu-
rated last September to make pay
as-you-go applicable to all taxpay-
ers, this years estimate forms
combine both long and short form
worksheets in single, four-page
folder. The longer form alone re-
quired four pages last fall and the
short form two.
The declarations are due April
is from all persons-an estimat-
ed $1,000, 0oo-Who expect this year
either alone or together with a
wife or husband, to have:
/. Income subject to withholding
of more than $1,000 for a single
person or SO, 500 for married cou-
pie living together.
2. Income of more than 500 from
other sources if the total, plus
wages subject to Withholding, is
$500 or more for single person,
more than 1924 for married per
son or $1,000 or more for married
couple living together.
Farmers again have the option
of waiting until December 10.
Three factors combined to SIM
plify this years estimating proce-

Tempers flared last night. Sen.
ator Guffey of Pennsylvania, sup.
porter of Vice President Wallace
challenged Chairman Hannegan to
prove the authenticity Of letter
which Mr. Hannegan say he has In
his possession giving President
Roosevelt's blessing to the vice
presidential candidacy of Senator
Truman. Mr.. Hsnnegan, like the
Senator. is from Missouri
Il doubt very much if Mr.. Han
negan quoted all of the letter which
the President is said to have writ
Ites," Senator Gufiey said. 1T is
time Mr. Hannegan remembered
that he was elected chairman of the
Democratic National Committee to
serve all of the members of our
party and to give some of his time
to the party and not all of it en-
tirely to the candidate OF Hannegan
Kelley, Hague and Flynn"
Senator Guffey was charging that
Chairman Hannegan was boosting
Senator Truman at the cost of Mr.
Wallace, and that the Senator is the
candidate. of the big city machine
bosses. That is a charge, however
which has been leveled many times
in the past against President Roose-
welt, who has played along with these
bosses.
Vice President Wallace is here
for a fight to the f1nish.' He took
seat on the floor of the convention
last night with the Iowa delegation,
of which he is chairman, and caused
a lot OF interest and some applause
Brushing his hair back out of his
eyes and signing an autograph IN
almost the same motion, Mr.. Wallace
told reporters croWding around the
corn-stalk- high Iowa standard:
All l know is that there is strong
evidence Of a fine liberal sentiment
in this convention and it is en-
couraging."
Later, in an r-midnight speech
to several hundred delegates from
Western States, the Vice President
said he had been called a radical
because he had insisted that it was
possible to raise the standard of
living for all the people.
Halls Liberal Sentiment.
There is tremendous ground
swell of liberal sentiment-possibly
a ground swell the like of which this
country has not seen in many years
among the delegates to this con-
vention," he said.
There is a fresh wind blowing
through the United States. We can
be sure it will rise ever stronger
until we are using all our manpower
resources and technical skill to pro-
duce higher standard of living for
all our people.
That's what believe, and I have
been called a radical for it. But 1
have never thought that standing
for that made me radical"
Evening star., 1944-07-20

Mr.. Wallace reached Chicago yes
terday, rushing here from Washing
ton at the plea of his manager, Jake
More of Iowa. When he was sum-
moned it looked as though his
chances of success were dim.
I'm in this fight to the finish" "
was his comment at press confer
ence after he had talked with some
OF his supporters. L will put up
the best fight I can"
Asked If he considered satisfac-
tory the letter written by the Presi-
dent to Senator Jackson Of Indi-
ana, chairman of the convention,
and made public on Monday, re-
garding Mr. Wallaces candidacy
the Vice President replied:
THE President did exactly what
I suggested he should do" He said
the last time he had seen the Presi-
dent was on July 13. Il told him in
justice to himself and to me there
should be 20 effort to dictate my
denomination"
This letter had been generally in
terpreted as kiss of death" for
Mr.. Wallace's political ambitions.
Mr.. Wallace got some unexpected
help from Secretary of Interior
Ickes, who was reported reliably to
have sent the President a telegram
declaring that Mr. Roosevelt had
made mistake" in naming Sena-
tor Truman as a second choice.
Ickes Reported Backing Wallace.
Mr.. 1ckes, who is credited with
having once urged Vice President
Wallace 20 get out of the race, now
was said to be backing the Iowan
strongly because of his liberal
views.
The Vice President confirmed
that such telegram had been sent

ert S. Kerr, Governor of Oklahoma. |.
He was wildly cheered when he at
tackled Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of
New York. the Republican presi-
dental nominee.
A demonstration lasting IS or 20
minutes was staged by most of the
delegates at the mention of Presi-
dent Roosevelts name. Several Of
the Southern States stayed out Of
the parade including Virginia and
the regular Texas delegation.
