Ruml Plan
Washington Post)

Beardsley Ruml of pay-as-you-go fame has come forward with another tax proposal that IS lkey to arouse considerable interest and may give rise to controversies as heated the debates over pay-as- you-go MT. Ruml and H. Christian Some, in study prepared for the National Planning Association, urge abolition of Federal income taxes on corporations as part of fiscal and monetary program designed to assist high employment and encourage private pro- duction.
 We doubt whether so sweeping proposal as complete abandonment of corporate income taxes would be contemplated seriously by Congress. But 1t is helpful to have the need for postwar revision or the corporate structure brought to public attention at this time. Since income taxed to corporations IS taxed again when reaches the individuals who own the corporations there is much to be said for the Ruml plan to avoid double taxation of this kind by simply doing away with the corporation income tax altogether The extremely high rates now prevailing would if carried into the postwar period, certainly act as a deterrent to risk-taking Moreover, double taxation resulting from taxing the profits of cor porations before distribution and again as income in the hands of dividend recipients is especially unfair to small stockholders.
 Messrs Ruml and Some also argue that the pre- vailng high rates of corporate taxation have become dominating factor in business management dlstort- ing business judgment. Another reason advanced for aboshng corporate income taxes is that they raise the cost of goods and services, pyramdlng them Tn some cases, keep wages lower than they otherwise might be- and limit the yield risk-bearing invest ment.
 All these arguments in favor of abolition of cor porate apply also if with less force to proposals to lower such taxes Complete abolition Of corporate would be resisted by those who argue that corporations enjoy privileges that warrant high imposons Abolition would also raise the question Of what to do about retained earnings Here is the real problem But it is not easy problem to handle. Moreover corporate taxes yield large revenue returns their elimination would entail heavy reliance upon other forms of taxable income. Messrs Rumi and Some are optimistic concerning the possibility of balancing the Federal budget at high employment levels by relying chiefly upon graduated individual income taxes Possibly: but do not see Congress venturing to base tax revision plan upon any such assumptions

to give time for reconversion. Look how long it took industry to convert to a war basis. It will also take time to reconvert back to peace. And we can't have idle men selling apples when the war cancel lations come in"
 This, however, aroused storm of protest from the Army and from the bankers and big-industry men inside the WIPE. Sidney Weinberg of Goldman Sachs, Sam Anderson of Lehman Brothers, L. R. Boul- ware of Celotex, General E. F. Jeffe of Consolidated Edison, Ar thur Bunker of Lehman Brothers and Charley Wilson of General Electric, all high-placed WIPE of ficials, were vigorously opposed.

recent survey carried out by the Census Bureau for the War Production Board bear out some- thing that many of have suspected for some time:
 The American people as whole have suffered very little from wartime shortages and the tremendous postwar buying spree that have been hearing so much about may materialize
 Two reasons why postwar economic prospects are not too bright: l. pre-war buying spree in l940 and l941; g. There are signs that if unemployment looms as problem when production tapers off most people will be very cautious about spending what war savings they may have.
 The Census survey shows that since the last census there has been increase of 33800O0 in the number of people owning their own homes-from 15,- 100000 in April 1940 18,580O00 in April 1944, An estimated 37OOOOO families would buy or build new houses now if labor and materials available The average amount these families wish to pay is $440O and most of them expect plastic palaces for that amount.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compep
TUESDAY, AUGUST 2s

Adverse aspects rule this morning but later kindly stars rules. Both armies and navies of the United Nations may find this a memorable date.
 HEART AND HOME: Retrospec- tion should be avoided under this configuration which inclines wo- men to indulge in futile regrets. The stars presage great responsi- bilities for wives and mothers in coming months. Healing of the hurts of war must be a concern shared by all.
 BUSINESS A F FAIR S: Many changes in office and shop person. nel are presaged for the Autumn when returning soldiers who have recovered from wounds will dis place girls employed during periods of emergency. This means better opportunities for many women who will benefit from their pinch hit ting training and experiences, the seers prophecy.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Labor to- day is subject to portents of change in relation to the public, which may resent certain demands that emphasize the power of the unions. According to astrology, great gain is to accrue to workers after the national election, when important adjustments will be made.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s : Sorrows that touch thousands of American homes will bring reali- zation of the full meaning of the World War. The determined pro- gress toward victory will inspire supreme sacrifices before many weeks have passed.
 1 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of var jed experiences which will be for tunate. Speculation should be avoided.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be practical, economical and energetic. Many will possess unusual talents.

WILSON'S RECONVERSION
 FIGHT

Donald Nelson, however, was op- posed. He argued that six big companies had received 50 percent of all war contracts and that now the little companies, which hadn't got much war business and were relatively idle, should not be held back when it came to peacetime operation.
 Some firms are going to be hit" he told this columnist. But there are bound to be casualties in war. Some firms can't come back for a while But some men at the front also can't come back for while, and some men will never come back. It's going to be the same way with business.

BARUCHs vENGEFUL MEMORY

Since that time, Bernie Bafucn has never forgiven Nelson. With all his generosity and other fine qualities, the dignified old banker also nurses streak of vindictive- ness. If anyone ever crosses his path, Bernie has the vengeful mem ory of an elephant.
 This ended Round of the WIPE fight. But Round 2 began shortly thereafter and reached it's climax with last weeks announcement that Nelson was going to China Cat the height of the reconversion battle) flor several months"
 During the interim, Charley Will son had been wooed by the charm ing Baruch into his camp-though actually Wilson's chief desire long has been to get back to his job with General Electric During the interim also, Nelson began to re- ceive various suggestions and offers that he get back into private life. One of them was proposal that he become the Judge Landis of the liquor industry. But he turned them all down.
 Who inspired this subtle move to buy Nelson out of the WIPE is not known, but the Baruch-Army camp seemed to know all about it in advance.
 Thus things drifted until the peak of the war was passed and it be- came obvious that industry would soon have to reconyert to a peace time basis. Then began the ter rife battle to see which companies could get back to peacetime work soonest.
 Charley Wilson informed this columnist that all companies should wait until the war was over, thus get an equal start to secure the rewards of peacetime business. He admitted quite frankly that his company and many others were chock block with war contracts, would therefore get slow start in Ieconverting.
 This got to be called the "Chero- kee Strip" theory of reconversion, whereby all would be held back

Human Equation

History has no parallel of the Allies plans
and preparations for D-Day. They stagger the
imagination. And yet everything couldn't work
out perfectly according to plan. AND when
it didn't, says Navy officer who took part
in the operation, it was the individuals ability
to think quickly and to improvise solutions
to new problems that saved the day.
And it was the improvised solution to a
perplexing problem that helped the Americans
win the battle of the hedgerows' in Nor
mandy. Sgt. Curtis Culin, who remembered
knocking over snowbanks in his native New
jersey figured out the plow-pointed ''rhino
tank" that chewed up the hedgerows and
started the Yanks rolling.
Even in mechanical warfare the human ele-
ment is the deciding factor. And the decision
is often influenced by such intangibles where
he was allowed and encouraged to think for
himself. That is one thing that Hitler and the
Junkers, in their years OF building war ma
chine, overlooked. In fact, they probably
wouldn't even understand it.

-R1It's an old G. I. understand
ing that If a soldier was lumber
Jack back home, the Army prob
ably will transform him into a
matchmaker. But now and then it
doesn't work out that way. PFC.
John Hotaling OF Brooklyn is one
example. He used to work in a
typewriter repair shop which his
dad ran on Bread street, New York
City. Now he repairs typewriters
for the 36th division. Of course,
before he got this job, the Army
had him toting a rifle in the in
fantry for while.
Then there's 1t. Hollis j. Linn
precht of Lincoln, Neb., who tech
nically is supposed to be an intel
ligence worker IN the Third divi-
sion, but actually concentrates
mostly on publicizing the famed
Rock Marne" infantry outfit. Nat
urally, that's a newspaper mans
work, and amazing enough, Hollis
used to be a reporter on the Lin
coin Journal.
But then you come across guy
