TAXES BY UNIONS

The rejection of John L. Lewis demands for ' per cent payroll levy to finance health and welfare fund for coal miners is the beginning of real fight between the labor unions and the businessmen.
 What the union demand meant was that the way would be paved for all labor unions to ask and get in future contracts genuine tax the employer, some thing which heretofore except when used by racket eerng gangsters has been function exercised only by the government.
 Employers already paying taxes for social security, unemployment compensation and in many States also for workmens compensaton-all of these taxes imposed by governmental units But ii the unions are given the right to deduct taxes from the employers profits there would be end of it.
 The scheme has already been used by Petrillos Musicians Union to a certain extent in the form of royalties paid by the users of music to the union.
 The latest demand the part of Lewis brings the matter more into the open. It is certain that should Lewis succeed, the scheme would spread to every of business per cent payroll deduction is not a small figure This added to the deductions for social security unemployment compensation work mems compensation deductions insurance premiums, license taxes Federal income taxes sales taxes and the

CASTE SYSTEM

Though Secretary of War Pat terson has called a special board to examine the "caste system" in side the Army some of the brass hats are still going out of their way to rub the caste system into CHS. As late as May 3, Mitchell Field, N Y, issued an order warn ing officers against having "dates" with enlisted personnel
 Apparently male officers were do- ing much dating Of enlisted WAC'S. The order read,
 Tt is the i-JeEt O. t.lis letter tllst every male and female officer within this Command refrain from 'daing' enlisted personnel.
 1t is realiz3d that there are circrm which will arise such as off.ceis having relatives or old friends among the enlisted per- sonnel CT vlce-yersa. Those cases should be given special considera- tion and treated with discretion by the Commanding Officer of the individual Command. Strict compliance with this letter is di- rected' The order was signed by Maj. George Schenklein, Assistant Adjutant.

oPA's SUDDEN FRIENDS

Unique development in the OPA fight is the sudden rush of the clothing trade to defend OPA. They are literally tearing fences down to make it clear that they are for the continuation of price control.
 Here is the ghost they saw which made them run so fast.
 When the House of Representa- tives gutted price control, rayon manufacturers suddenly began to hold up deliveries, figuring they could soon get higher prices. So al so did nylon and cotton manufac- turers For under the GoSsett Amendment, inserted by Congress man Ed Gossett of Wichita Falls, Texas, those three commodities would be relieved of price control this summer.
 Congressman Gossett confessed to newsmen at first that he didn't know exactly what his amendment was. But the textile industry did, and slowed up deliveries.
 So the clothing manufacturers unable to get materials, are now

 At dinner given by Mrs. Long, worth for her brother-in-law, Count de Chambrun, the other day, Alice even made the astounding re- mark that it was unfortunate the Kaiser didn't win the last war before we got in.
 One thing on which both Mrs. Longworth's and Lewis friends agree is that hatred of Roosevelt brought them together. Both dis liked him passionately, both con tinue to hate almost everything connected with him. That seems to be the chief bond between them.

the voters are worried about having a sick Senator represent them. TAXING U. $. WAR PRISONERS.
 Young Congressman Walter Nor blad of Astoria, Oregon, is moving to exempt CHS and officers who spent the war in Jap and German prison camps from income-tax lia- bility for the period they were pri- soners.
 The present law provides tor such exemption only in cases where the men were confined on United States territory-including the Phil ippines. But those who were taken from the Philippines by the Japs and interned in Japan proper are now subject to income taxes on their service pay.
 As early as 1944, Congress recog- nized that this was meritorious problem; but no action was taken on it, with the result that num- Der Of returning officers who had been prisoners in Japan and Ger many are now being billed for in- come taxes. Meanwhile, others who were kept in the Philippines as pri- soners are held to be tax-exempt.
 Congressman Norblad is drawing up a special bill to assure all for mer prisoners equal treatment by the tax collector.

 Pendergast, who heads the Goat" faction of the Democratic machine, politely stated his regrets and informed Hannegan that the Goats" already had promised the Rabbit" faction, headed by Frank Shannon, their support for Con- gressman Slaughter's renomination. Pendergast said that inasmuch as this commitment had already been made, he could not change it.
 In view of this turn down, Han negan had Dick Macy, Vice-Chair- man of the Democratic National Committee and close friend of Pendergast, telephone him. Hcw- ever, Macy had no luck either.
 The Democratic machine com mitment to Slaughter stands; but it doesn't make the President at all happy. For no one in Congress has opposed him more bitterly than the gentleman from Kansas City.
 Note Truman and Hannegan both want to avoid such purge battles as were staged by FDR, but they felt that in Truman's home area he had a right to intervene, just as Roosevelt fought Congress man Ham Fish in New York. Ac- tually, Congressman Slaughter, though brought up in Independence and married to an Independence girl, represents the Congressional district next to Trumans. However, Ham Fishs district was revamped so that he was no longer FDR's $ Congressman. Nevertheless, Roose- welt continued his undying oppo- sition, eventually defeated Fish.

AAF 10 Equip IS Bases
lin u. 5. With Radar for
Bad Weather Landinq
By the Associated Press

The Army Air Forces reported
yesterday that it would equip IS
air bases in this country with mod
ern radar equipment for landing
aircraft in bad weather.
Taking note of the award of the
Robert j. Collier trophy to DR.. Luis
w. Alvarez, University of California
physicist, for his part in the de-
velopment of Ground Controlled
Approach, (GCA), the AAF told for
| the first time some of the Incl
dents leading to discovery and ac-
ceptance of the principle and out
| lined its status for the immediate
future.
GOA uses the fog piercing eyes
of radar to locate and direct planes
by radio conversation with the pilot,
telling him his exact position with
relation to the runway. This meth
cd was used by both the Army and
the Navy during the war, and now
is being tried experimentally by
the airiines with test installations
at New York, Washington, Gander,
N. F., and Chicago.
|. Units at End Of War.
The AAF said that at the end of
the war it had ten GCA units in
Europe, four in the Aleutians, three
in the North Atlantic and ten in
the Pacific.
It now has foufin Europe. three
in the North Atlantic, three in
Alaska, II in the Pacific and eight
in the United States, including
training units at Eglin Field, Fla,
and Langley Field, Va. The other
six in this country are at Andrews
Field, near Washington; Westover
Field, Mass; Clinton County Air
port, Ohio; Barksdale Field, La;
Mitchell Field, N. Y; and Fairfield
Suisun Airfeld, Calf.
The older types in use require five
radar operators, while the 1916
models being installed require
single controller to land a plane.
DR.. Alvarez conceived the idea of
using radar for ba6-weather land
ings while working with the radia-
tion laboratory, National Defense
Research Council project at Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology.
At that time radar was considered
primarily for combat technique.
10000 Landings Made.
Since it first was put into service,
the AAF said, more than 10000
successful landings have been made
by GOA direction, saving millions
of dollars in equipment and many
lives. The original experimental
model was sent to England and
still is in use there. The first pro-
duction model was delivered on
January l, 1914.
The Navy also is making exten-
sive use of radar as an aid to bad
weather flying, and has units in
operation at 13 air stations-Whid-
hey Island, Wash; Oakland, Calf;
Olathe, Kans.; Patuxent River, Md;
Jacksonville, Fla; Corpus Christi,
Tex; Sauf1ey Field, Fla; Charles
town, r. l.; Seattle, Wash; Vir-
ginia Beach, Va; New York City,
Miramar, Calf, and Moffett Field,
Calf.
The Navy plans to increase its
domestic system. by "a units and the
foreign system by II. 1t now is
operating GOA in Honolulu, the
Aleutians, Newfoundland, the Pa
cific and three in the Asiatic the
ater.
