Although more than 100000
persons are unemployed, some
100000 jobs are going begging.
Government manpower officials
today advanced some theories why
this should be.
The job openings are listed by
the United States Employment
Service, which said the answer
probably lies in a combination of
these circumstances:
/. Many Of those laid off possess
specialized skills for which there is
no current demand.
2. Some. accustomed to high war
time wages, are shopping around
for a good-paying job in civilian
production,
3. A large number of the Jobs
listed do not pay well
4. Many war workers decided to
take a vacation--for some their first
in three or four years.
An employment service official said
he believes the matter of jobs not
matching skills is one of the prin-
cipal reasons why some are not being
filled.

This will ease the overcrowding
in the camp where as many as SO
persons have had to live in large

these 400 and 200 more in the camp
hospital, Feldafing's 1880 popula-
ton must spend the winter in single
story barracks-like dwellings, but
these will be heated. The goal is to
give these refugees as much living
room as Germans in the neighbor-
hood have.

On PAC Leader Named

President Truman showed in

important Senate showdown on
his nomination of Raymond S.
McKeough as a member of the
Maritime Commission.
Packed with controversy. the ap-
pointment involves two questions:

get enough Democratic votes on
their side to engineer the first re-
lection of a Truman nomination?

Wins
First Round in Fiqht
On Income Tax Slash
Woys-Meons Committee
May Adopt Vinson Plan
For ; Pct. Cut Today
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

The administration today won
the first round in the fight over
1946 tax reductions.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee defeated two motions de-
signed to retain a normal tax but
with the rate reduced from 3 per
cent to 2 or per cent.
These preliminary tests were re-
garded as strong indication the
committee will adopt the Treasury
proposal for outright repeal of the
3 per cent normal tax, thereby drop
ping 100000 low income families
from the tax rolls entirely and
granting some relief to all other in
dividuals up the scale. This deci-
sion may come this afternoon.
If opponents of the Treasury pro-
gram had succeeded in merely re-
ducing the normal tax on individuals,
it would have paved the way for the
substitute plan of a heavier fiat
percentage reduction in taxes for
individuals across the board.
Seeks 20 Per Cent Slash.
Representative Knutson of Mime
sofa, ranking Republican on the
committee, has been advocating a
20 per cent horizontal cut in indi-
vidual taxes.
Once the normal tax issue is dis
posed of, the committee is expected
to go along without much delay on
these ether two points in the pro-
gram submitted yesterday by Sec
retary of the Treasury Vinson:
Repeal of the 95 per cent excess
profits tax on corporations, and the
fixing of July l, 1916, as the date for
expiration of wartime increases in
excise taxes on liquor, cosmetics,
jewelry, other articles and on ad-
mission tickets and transportation.
All three points in the administra-
ton program would result in total
tax reduction for 1916 of approx
mately $4,000. 100000. This is to be
an emergency, one-year tax plan,
followed by more thorough over
hauling of the tax structure next
year.
Carlson to Offer Plan.
Representative Carlson, Repub-
lican, of Kansas, will make one more
effort to put in a substitute for the
Treasury plan on individuals. His
motion will be to keep the per cent
normal tax, but apply the same ex-
emptions to it as are allowed on the
surtax, and then apply a fiat per-
centage cut of 10, Is or 20 per cent
horizontally.
AS the law now stands an indi-
vidual is allowed $500 each for him
self, his wife and each dependent
child in figuring surtax. whereas
only one $500 exemption is allowed
all taxpayers in computing the
per cent normal tax.
AS the committee resumed study
of the program the Democratic
majority appeared to be sticking to-
Igether better than it did week ago,
when four of its members joined
the Republicans to pigeon hole

LONDON, Oct. 2.-Informants
high within the counsel of tie
Foreign Ministers Conference
said today that Soviet Foreign
CommiSSar v. M. Moltov threat
ened to go home over the week
end after a heated argument
with British Foreign Secretary
Ernest Bevin.
The two have been reported at
loggerheads during the sessions
which are drawing to a close.
Bitterness Increases.
The representatives of the United
States, Russia, Great Britain, France
and China met more than two hours
this morning and later reconvened
for another session. 1t seemed that
even the most superficial agreement
could not be reached.
There still was no definite indica-
tion of when the five top diplomats
would end the conference.
Each minister appeared to be
maneuvering to avoid being the first
to say the long, turbulent sessions
had ended in failure.
Called "Hitlerian" Methods.
1t was reported reliably that
nothing more had been accom-
plished in the latest sessions and
that bitterness, anger and impa-
tience were increasing steadily.
Mr.. Molotov was reported by per-
sons present at the weekend ex-
change to have taken exception to
a remark by Mr.. Bevin that the
Soviet Commissar's methods were
"Hitlerian."
The clash resulted when Mr.
Molotov demanded that the minis
ters revoke a decision of September
ii on procedure, which permitted
France and China to sit in on all
discussions.
This is the issue which had dead
locked the conference for more than
a week, with Russia insisting that
the Potsdam decisions be adhered
to with only the Foreign Ministers
of the Big Three discussing and
drafting peace treaties for the Bal
kan states.
1t was reported that Mr.. Molotoy
said in effect that when the group
of powers reached an agreement
in common and that afterwards
one or more realized their mistake
the council should reconsider and
repeal the decision.
To this, Mr.. Bevin was understood
to have said he had never
heard anything more like Hitlerian
methods"
Persons present said Mr.. Bevin's
remarks were translated into French
and Russian while the ministers
sat tense and waited for an ex-
plosion.
When the Interpreters finished
Mr.. Molotov arose, walked towarc
the door, turned and said:

government bungling" to excuse little cheating, chiseling, and black marketing. There have been inequitieS and blunderers in putting our vast and complex national economy on a war basis. That was in- evitable. The job was in the hands of many human, fallible men. But instead of trying to make these mistakes less fre- quent and damaging a lot of us have aggravated them. We have baked at being inconvenienced.
 The governments and people of Eng land and Russia have contended with worse things than the bureaucratic mis- takes of our own untouched land. They have persevered against hunger, cold, de- Struction and death, while too many of us have connived to get steaks and extra gasoline But now the sorrow of war is coming daily into more and more of our homes. Is it not time to realize, as the casualty lists grow, that we at home can not help end this war with half a mind and half heart? Is it not time to ad- init that it is neither possible nor im- portant that we have all our usual crea- ture comforts? If we must fast little, can we not do it from humility rather than compulsion? We are only asked to taste a morsel of our soldiers and sail orS' sacrifices in gratitude for the exem- plary courage with which they fight and die

Cooperation Strengthens Freedom

A movement is sweeping the country that, if given time, will reduce the issue of compulsory health insurance under Socialized medical system to an academic mole hill. Company after company and industry after industry in cooperation with the medical profession, are quietly establishing voluntary health programs of farreaching proportions
 No industry has been more progress sive on this question than oil. Typical is the hospital and surgical benefits plan for employees of the Texas Company, now in effect throughout the United States. Already nearly 19,000 eligible TeXaco employees or approximately 93 per cent, have become members of the plan, which went into effect on November l, l944.
 This plan, like many others of similar nature, banishes, from the expense stand point, the fear of medical emergencies. It provides benefits for hospital conflne- ment at the rate of four dollars per day for each day the employe is confined in hospital, up to 3l days for each period of disability; a surgeons fee allowance which provides up to $50 for some major operations; and reimburSementS up to S2O for incidental hospital expenses. The plan costs the individual employc 50 cents a month. The company pays the balance. Voluntary cooperation between prlvate citizens such as here illustrated, strengthens freedom; compulsion, no matter how worthy the objective, tends to destroy freedom.

We Need to Do More

There is no need to tell again the story of Americas wartime accomplishments. We know it we'll And we can be proud that no nation, caught almost wholly unprepared and stung by initial defeat, had ever armed itself so strongly and so quickly. But perhaps the story is too familiar. Maybe we have thought about it too much, and in the past tense. And so it is more of a shock to find now that for all we have done, we have not done enough. We have not done enough be- cause too few have done too much of the work in what should be an all-out effort. We have not done enough because some of us seemed to think that victory was long but assured process which some how could be achieved without disrupt ing too seriously our normal diets, con- forts, and pleasures. It has not been entirely the peoples fault. Some of our military leaders and heads of govern ment have more than once tried to spare us the full information and stern de- mandS that war requires. They have predicted in incorporate hope, and looked too far beyond the days tasks.
 Now, suddenly, disquieting reports have come from Europe. Here at home we have learned that the food supply is tighter than ever (We may have to eat fewer things and pay ration points for more things) We have learned that many items of war equipment are short. (Some of us will have to forego an after noon at the race track and stick to our 1obs) Such news in the past has been the signal for many of us to blame the
 sA or something, and pass the buck to
