The Treasury Department re-
ported recently that since sales
began on May /, 1941, redemp-
tionS have amounted to $1,763-
000, 000-enough to build a good
sized mayor seven per cent OF
total sales. With taxes and other
costs going up, hope has been
expressed that bond buyers
hold the line" by holding their
bonds until date of maturity.
The challenge was accepted
with enthusiasm by John M.
Wyatt, a Schenley DistillerS cor
poration official. He not only
promised himself he would not
cash in his bonds but he did
something else about it OF give
the idea greater usefulness. He
formed a Hold Your War Bonds
club at his company office in
New York City, and a 100 per
cent mebership resulted.
Every employee signed a pledge
to hold his bonds until the mat
urity date and to redeemthem
! only in case of extreme necessity
Now clubs are springing up in
many parts of the country. In

munity groups have written to
Wyatt for details of the patriot

RADIO DATA ASSEMBLED
Radio engineers, well equipped

long series of developments that
have come thick and fast under

have a practical working know
ledge in allied fields ranging
from mechanics through metal

meteorology and others. The
man in the field and the radio
engineer working at research
and development have a great
deal in common, since each
must have a wide fund of know
ledge readily available.

Behind The Scenes
In
American Business
By John Croddock

In a week when it became
more and more evident that the
war production job is more than
satisfactory, there was increasing
emphasis in official circles upon
what can be done about civilian
supplies. On the favorable side
were such facts as these: We
have produced 10000 airplanes;
shipped $4,000 of them to our
allies. The Truman Committee
making a continuous study of
war production, reported on
some phenomenal aspects of in
dustry's achievements; notable
was its praise of the work done
in aluminium, where instead of
the shortage that had been fear
ed, we now actually have excess
production capacity.
Some measure of relief was
promised for consumers from the
shortages which exist in many
types of textiles. Increases rang
ing up to so cents an hour for
cotton mill workers in the
Southeast were expected to make
it possible for the mills to hold
labor which had been drifting
away to higher-paid munitions
industries, cutting cotton-mill
output last year 6.3 per cent
from 1912. Spinning was still
hard hit-and underwear manu-
facturers, unable to get yarn,
were hesitant about taking or
ders for Fall, which normally
would have been completely
booked by now.
On the food front, although
points were lowered on canned
goods, Victory gardeners were ur-
for their work was credited with
~averting a serious shortage last
year.

Asks Employers
To Help Workers

Lewis Penwell, Collector OF
Internal Revenue, today re-
quested employers in this dis
trict to assist any employees
who need advice on their earn
ings or income tax withholding
in connection with the filing of
a declaration of estimated tax
by April IS.
The two key figures needed
by the average wage Garner to
fill out a declaration, Collector
Penwell explained are estimates
of his total income for the year
and Of the amount Of income
tax which will be paid by with
holding from his wages during
the year. If the taxpayer has no
other in come and uses the sim
plified worksheet which is avail
able to all taxpayers whose in
come does not exceed $40, 900,
he will not ordinarily need any
additional data.
While many employers may
not be in a position to advise
their employees of earning and
withholding for the entire year
Collector Penwell suggested it
would be helpful to their empl-
Dyes to advise them of the a.
mount of the total pay and in
come tax withholding per week
or month, or the payroll period.
The employee can then derive
annual estimates by multiplying
his weekly figures by the num-
Der of payroll periods in the
year. If the employees pay and
Withholding is not the same ev-
cry payday, he should Use an
average.
employers who will furnish
this advice will perform a val
liable service to both their en-
ployes and the government"
Collector Penwel said. "This in
formation will be particularly
helpful in instances in which
employees are confused as to the
amounts of their total wage and
the amounts of their income
tax withholdings, because of de-
auctions for war bonds, social
security taxes, union dues, etc."

CONSERVATION

TRAVEL CONSERVATION
The need for cooperation OF
travellers with the hard working
transportation agencies was en-
phasized recently in one of those
government reports which sell
dom reach the public eye.
A Chicago business man and
his attorney had sleeping car re-
servations out of Washington
which they failed to use or can
eel. Under a tariff filed with the
Interstate Commerce commits
sion, the Pullman company can
not refund money for unused
Accommodations when reServa-
tons are not cancelled in time
for resale. When the business
man was unable to get a refund,
he filed a complaint with the
lCC. The Commission upheld the
tariff, declaring that the ad-
vance release Of reservations is
vital in wartime, to promote
maximum utilization of avail
able equipment.
But here's an interesting fact,
illustrating the Importance of
prompt cancellations of space:
Although every sleeping accom-
odation on that train had been
sold or reserved including &C
comodations on three extra cars
which had been added, and there
was a long waiting list for space
on this train, it rolled out of
Washington with 81 units of
space unoccupied, just because
ST people failed to make the
trip and did not trouble to can
eel their reservations!

necessary for many men to alb
and on heavy weapons, packs,
and other equipment. Pvt Cha
vez and his assistant, without
orders, seeing that the platoon
was disorganized, remained at
their machine gun, temporarily
holding the attack. Under heavy
fire, he withdrew with the ma
chine gun, carrying it 500 yards
too the rear, to new defensive
positions where the gun was
used to repel later attacks. Pvt.
Chavez's daring and, apparent
disregard for his own saftey
during this action enabled the
platoon to reorganize and de-
fend their new position His
action won him admiration OF
all members of his company
and the others who fought with
him."

Mrs. Macarthur accompanied her

ance to the men who are doing the
fighting" Mr.. Patterson declared.
Mr.. Patterson said he preferred
the 4-F problem to be handled by
enactment of national service legis-
lation, like the Austin Wadsworth
bill, but cut down so as to cover
only men from 18 through 81 who
have been found physically disquali-
fed for military service.
He advised against establishment
of special labor battalions to work
around military installations, saying
the armed forces had all the limited
service they need. Assignment of the
Al men to essential activities
would be under control of director
of national service. Those who failed
to comply would face fines or i'm
prisonment similar to penalties un-
der the Selective Service Act.
Alternative Proposal.
AS an alternative proposal, which
struck a responsive chord among
committee members, Mr.. Patterson
suggested that 4-Fs not in essential
work be inducted and placed in an
enlisted reserve from which they
would be assigned to jobs or, refus-
ing to take jobs, would be used in
labor brigades for such work as
picking apples, harvesting crops and
doing other war-supporting work.
Referring to Mr.. Patterson's asser-
tion that "the prime need" of the
armed forces now is for men under
26-and sit may be % or 80 later
Mr.. Costello said it was obvious that
most of the men to be indicted
henceforth must come from the
group now occupationally deferred.
The chances of obtaining large
numbers of fighting men from young
farmers now deferred, Mr.. Costello
said. probably would be lessened by
decision to abandon the
unit system in passing on farm de-
ferments.
