D. T.. Clerk SHORTAGE
To Delay Tax Forms

About II 900 District employees viii
not receive their 1945 income tax
Withholding receipt forms Form W.
y, until the end of February-one
month after they were due-on ac-
count of the shortage of clerks In the
District Auditors Office, it was dis
closed yesterday.
A. r. Pilkerton, auditor, said he
had been flooded with protests, but
is helpless to avoid the delay. OF the
$4,000 District employees, about 10000
have received their forms. However
most of these also were from one to
three weeks late, Mr.. Pilkerton said.
For about six months the auditor
has been pleading with the Commits
sioners to assign him 20 more clerks
to cope with rapidly shifting over
time pay and tax regulations.
The only bright spot, the auditor
added, is that despite this years
delay, he is still 10 days ahead of
last year. Last year, most of the
$4,000 employees did not receive their
declarations until March 10. It was
on that occasion that the difficulty
in meeting headlines for various
paychecks and financial reports first
came to public attention.
However, Mr.. Pilkerton pointed
out that so far this month all the
pay checks have been on time.

|Choice Of Successor
To Ickes Sill Causes
President Concern
By Gould Lincoln

The JOB OF filling Harold L. IckeS'
place as Secretary of the Interior
is giving the administration plenty
of concern. With President Truman
on his yacht over the week end, it
was insisted at the White House
that no decision had been made on
the selection of a new Cabinet
member.
The President and Postmaster
General Hannegan. who also is
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, have been re-
ported to be seeking a man with the
following qualifications:
l. He must be a man Of stature
and ability.
2. He must be acceptable to the
Western States where most of the
problems of the Interior Depart
ment are now centered.
Must Please New Dealers.
3. He must be acceptable to the
New Dealers-who have been much
disturbed over the withdrawal of
Mr.. Ickes from the Cabinet and his
serious break with the President.
Justice Douglas of the Supreme
Court is reported to be definitely out
OF the picture. He is said to have
refused the post on advice of court
colleagues. Chief Justice Stone is
reported strongly opposed to the
practice of taking members of the
Supreme Court for political office,
or for work outside of the regular
duties of the court.
Among Democratic Senators.
Senator OMahoney of Wyoming is
considered by all odds the best man
for the cabinet post. He has all
the necessary qualifications except
that of appeasing the New Dealers.
Opposed by MVA Group.
Scattering opposition to Senator
O'Hahoney has developed among
supporters of the proposed Missouri
Valley Authority because he has
not favored that project. However,
the project has been adversely re-
ported by three Senate COZ lmittees
as dead issue at this time.
Others reported still under con-
ssideration for Mr.. Ickes' former
Job are Oscar L. Chapman, Acting
Secretary OF the Interior, and Gov.
Herbert E. Nav of Utah. The latest
rumor is that president OF West
ern college also is under considera-
ton, possibly Milton Eisenhower,
president of the Kansas Agricul-
tural College and brother Of Gen
Eisenhower.

announced plans for the production

Of what they believe will be the
worlds first airliner equipped with
turbine engines.
The Baltimore manufacturer has
undertaken to build this revolution

types Of high-speed combat planes
= The projected twin-engine trans
port, 1t was announced, will be de-
livered to United Air Lines next
year for testing on cargo runs to
determine its suitability as pas
penger carrier at speeds estimated at
almost 400 miles an hour.
The Glenn Martin plant, now pre-
pairing for quantity production of a
new 40-passenger transport powered
with conventional engines, expects
to base its plans for future models
on results of the turbo-jet tests.
Many experts have predicted since
early in World War II that new let
and turbine power plants, or com
binations of both, eventually will
replace conventional gasoline en-
sines because they are so much
simpler and burn cheaper fuel.
Yesterdays was the first plan an
nounced for development tests by a
manufacturer and operator in the
commercial field.
Except for its power plants. the
new plane will be similar to the
Martin 303 transports, IS of which
have been contracted for by United
Air Lines. Conventional propellors
driven by the turbines will develop
about 80 per cent of the power, with
Jet thrust accounting for the re-
mainder, it was announced.
