support the administration where
it follows that line and try to re-
member that we are fighting Ger
many and Japan, not England and
Russia.
10. Try to learn from Sidney
Hillman. In the AFL are millions
of Republican prospects. Organize
your labor battalions.
IL. Set up permanent national
organization. Quit changing COM
manders when the battle starts. The
business of the chairman and the
National Committee is to elect, not
select. Get good organization now
and keep it through the campaign
of l948. You got your biggest share
OF the vote in your history in 1920
when you did not change chairmen
in the election year.
II. The veterans will get YOU If
you don't watch out. Ten million
men will return to civil life in the
next four years. Their sentiments,
desires, needs and organized power
may well determine the political
weather for a generation. Try to
anticipate this tremendous fact.

PENDANT Hart, Wasn't your outfit

He replied in the Affirmative. He
also testified that the major told
soldiers complaining they were get

out rations, it Is your own fault.
Hart explained that he and the
others were not thinking at first of
making profit. They worked long
hours on the trains and when rations
were not available regularly, they
got into the habit of taking some
out of the trains, he said, adding
everybody was doing it,

He said at first they took what
they needed for their own use but
when they broke open case of
rations they often had a surplus on

Testimony showed that the will

handfuls of currency for cigarettes
and other rations tempted some men
to enlarge their takings so then
they began Selling whole cases with
the object of selling them.

this connection as a black market
rendezvous. Hart testified that the

Fake Nazi 'BBC Station
Again Praises MONTGOMERY
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, Jan. 13.-The fake
German *BBC station"/was back on
the air last night praising Field
Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery
for behaving wonderfully" during
the uproar that the false station
created earlier this week when it
pretended to be the British Broad
casting Corp.
Dropping all pretense this time
that it was the BIC, an announcer
named Mary" introduced the
speakers Hans" and "Mollie." The
latter read Brendan Bracken's mes
sage to Gen. Eisenhower in which
he said the German stations broad
cast which overpraised Marshal
Montgomery and belittled the
Americans was the work of the
enemy.
Later in its program the gate
crashing station gave BIC signals,
read an accurate Allied communicate
and translation of the German
communique, then began relaying
an AEF program.

Monday Is Dead|ine
For Final Quarters
Income Tax Payment

Monday will be the last day to
pay the final quarterly installment
on 1914 income taxes, which was
postponed from December Is to
January Is.
Trying to beat this deadline many
taxpayers came to the local revenue
Office at Twelfth street and Con-
stitution avenue NV. today. They
formed line, but the more than
LOO experts on hand held the line
short. and were taking care of the
CROWDS without causing long waits.
AT noon luncheon hour and this
afternoon, however, officials ex-
pected bigger crowds.
Many Filing Final Returns.
Many persons are filing their final
returns for the year 1914, to get
the whole problem out of the way,
officials said. The final return is
due March Is.
There are three classes who should
take care OF their problems by Nom
day, experts explained.
l. Those who still owe the last
quarterly installment. They in
clude persons whose income is not
subject to 1914 withholding taxes,
such as doctors, lawyers, service off,
GERS, ministers and others. Also
persons who made 500 or more in
addition to wages subject to with
holding.
2. Those who may have UNDER
estimated their 1914 taxes by more
than 20 per cent, when they filed
declarations of estimated income
and taxes last March. If they made
a mistake of more than 20 per cent
there will be penalty for the bad
guess, unless corrected by Monday
by an amended declaration.
3. Farmers and others who have
come into the liability of filing an
original declaration of estimated
return in the last quarter of 1914.
They must file declaration.
Taxpayers Responsibility.
While experts on duty in the local
oillce oler 10 neIp taxpayers make
out their returns, officials reiterated
that the ultimate responsibility for
correction of the return rests with
the taxpayer himself.
One Washingtonian found that
out recently, it was learned, that,
instead of getting a refund he had
expected on the basis of a return
which a Government man had
helped him make out, he received a
tax bill for several dollars. There
had been mistake in the return,
for which the taxpayer is liable.
Also the mails are considered an
agent" of the taxpayer. If the
mail fails to deliver a check in pay
ment of taxes, that's the liability of
the taxpayer.

For the first time since the trials
began, the defendants took the wit
ness stand, told their side of the
story, and threw themselves on the
mercy OF the court. One defendant
begged the court to keep their names
out of the newspapers because "our
folks at home won't want us any
more"
Names to Be Withheld.
This plea made an impression on
the tribunal. Before pronouncinp
the sentences, Col Hoag said he
understood it was the practice in a
court-martial that if the presiding
ofhcer requested the suppression of
names, they would be suppressed
and I do so request in future re-

Government Worker
Deferments Reduced
Draft Officials Say

The number OF Federal workers
deferred by draft boards without
an authorized Government request
has been reduced so per cent in
the past four months and probably
none of these workers are employed
in Washington, National and Dis
trict Selective Service spokesman
reported today.
The last report to Congress on
the number of deferred Government
workers was filed with the House
Military Affairs Committee on De-
cember Is and described the stu
alton as of September 80, Nationa.
Selective Service pointed out.
At that time, 3,743 men in the
1925 age bracket and 48,775 men
in the 26-29 age bracket, none OF
them disqualified for general mill
tary service, were reported deferred
The Army and Navy accounted for
As 500 deferments in the 1929 age
bracket. In addition, a certain num-
Der were deferred because their Jobs
appeared on a "key list" Another
group of men were approved indi-
vidually by the Review Committee
on Government Deferments, headed
by Edgar Puryear.
Approve 956 Deferments.
Mr.. Puryear said his committee
currently has approved $50 defer
ments for employees under 80, most
of them for so or 90-day periods
He said he had no current tabula-
ton of men deferred under the key
list but added that the number was
being constantly reduced.
How many Government workers
now hold deferments without an
authorized request from their
agency could not be officially
learned. Some time ago, agencies
were reporting they had asked de-
ferments for only about half of the
men who wound up with defer
ments from their draft boards.
Since then, however, National
Selective Service said, the number
deferred without Government re-
quest has been whitfield down to
the point where less than one man
per local board now holds a de-
ferment without benefit of a request
from his agency. Since September
80, 1t was pointed out, many of these
deferments have expired.
Must Review Deferments.
District selective service, which
must review deferments granted to
men working here but registered
elsewhere, said that a few cases
come in each week where the file
shows no Government request. These
cases, it was said, are promptly sent
back to the local boards with a note
reminding them that the men were
deferred without a Government re-
quest. If board persists and re-
turns the case for review, District
draft official said, the District Ap-
peal Board promptly places the men
without Government deferment re-
quests into la.
Some Government officials rue
fully pointed out that some local
boards not only won't defer a man
without an authorized request but
frequently refuse to defer men whose
deferment has been officially re-
quested.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 10
Raymond Moley, columnist and as
soclate editor of NewSweek, and
once high in the councils of the
New Deal, today proposed u com
mandments' for the Republican
party and No. was: Stop hating
Roosevelt"
THE senseless hatred of his
enemies is sunshine and rain in
Roosevelt's vote garden" Mr.. Moley
appended to his first command
ment." And, what's more, he may
not run again"
Here to speak at a meeting of the
Indiana State Bar Association, Mr..
Moley explained he decided to set
forth his directives in Indiana, a
State which has been a Republican
stronghold in the last two presi-
Dental campaigns.
Eleven Other Precepts.
Eleven other precepts handed
down by Mr.. Moley to the COP
follow:
2. Forget about candidates for
three years. Personal ambitions and
idle speculation takes energy from
the job of party building. And you
can't tell what kind of a candidate
you will need.
3. Thou shalt not covet Roose-
velt's ideas. 1t is quite possible to
build a set OF principles that are
progressive and anti-New Deal; and
besides, you don't know what his
ideas will be next year.
4. Take an inventory of your pros
poets. You now have 23,000,0 900 GUS
toners. But you have several mil
lion more good prospects, including
those anti-New Dealers who voted
for continuity in the war, border
State Southern Democrats who hate
the New Deal, millions of veterans
and all of Texas.
Budget Financial Support.
S. Budget your financial support.
A dollar spent in 1945 and 1916 and
1947 is worth five in 1913. Besides,
money may be more plentiful now
than later.
6. Get out your maps. Your base
of operation is what you control
now. That includes % State gov
ernments, IS per cent of the coun-
ties in the 80 Northern and Western
States, So per cent of the counties
in the six border States and thou
sands of small cities and towns.
Here is veteran army of interested
and experienced party workers ready
for national leadership.
Z. Remember your Representatives
and Senators. Failure of co-opera.
ton between the leaders, the ma
tional committee and Republican
members of Congress gave 1914 New
Deal orators their best arguments.
The new national committee, Mr.
Dewey and the Republican Senators
and Representatives must find
means of acting as if they belong
to the same party.
Work in Local Elections.
8. Be thankful for small victories.
Thousands of local elections will be
held in 1945 and 1916. Watch them
and lend a hand.
8. Stop fighting among your
selves. You cannot win in 1916 and
1948 by making foreign-policy is
sue now. You did magnificently at
Mackinac. Stand by that principle,

Military Training Urqed

The Executive Committee of the

Traffic Toll Off 6 Percent

Chicago 0LNS). - Two hundred
and fifty fewer Americans were kill
ed in traffic the first 2 months Of this
year than in the same period last
year, the National Safety Council re-
ported
This saving in human life apparent
is not due to less traffic, the council
said, since the latest available reports
on gasoline consumption indicate that
travel has not decreased and, in fact,
may have increased slightly.
The 2-month drop in traffic fatali-
ties this year represents percent
decrease from the same period last
year total of 1920 for January

same months in 1914.

ganized labor while serving as chair
man Of the Senate War Investigating
Committee. After having examined
all the facts, this committee warmly
praised labor's contributions to th.
war effort and defended it against
unwarranted criticism.
Mr.. Truman also indicated at that
time his desire for clear and under
standable labor policy on the part Of
the government and the amalgama-
tion Of all bureaus dealing with labor
problems in a single central agency.
This course has been repeatedly advo-
Gated by the AF'L.
AS a further indication Of his
friendly feeling toward the American
Federation of Labor, Mr.. Truman
participated in an AFL-sponsored ra-
dio program a week after he became
Vice President. In that talk he pre-
dicted high production and full en-
ployment within short time after
the war ends.

cause of their dramatic character and
news value and because the public
properly resents these violations of
labor's pledge not to obstruct the war
effort by striking. However, strikes in
1943 resulted in a loss of manpower
of less than one-fourth of one per
cent of the manpower actually used,
whereas the manpower contributed By
labor in that period exceeded that
used in 1889 by 76 per cent"
The Truman report declared that
the government and management
must take their share of the response
bility for strikes which occurred. 1t
also called upon the government to
adopt clear and understandable la
Dor policy, administered by a single,
central agency instead of the multiple
bureaus now handling labor matters.
These conclusions fully endorsed
the official policy of the American
Federation of Labor.

Greetings The following editorial
appeared in a very recent issue of
The Potters Herald and, in the opin-
ion of your Legislative Agent, it is
one of the most timely and construc-
tive editorials ever to appear in the
Labor press of our nation. This edl-
torial, entitled "Meet Your Legis-
lators," strikes at the very heart of
one of our most serious problems; it
also gives us a real honest-to- good
ness solution. Every member of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor
should read this message and follow
the plan of action suggested. The edi-
torial:
"The present Assembly of the Ohio
Legislature has given evidence that
it pays off better in votes to tell a
Legislator what you think-face to
face-than to write him. The Legis
lature normally closes down Thurs
day noon of each week. It's members
then rush back to their respective
homes. 1t is on the homeground that
some of the best results have been
achieved this year in getting through
decent legislation.
Certainly it means work on your
part. 1t means that group of you
from Local Union Number 600 take
