A close decision seems likely in
the Senate late today on whether
the Government should give spe-
cial credit terms to co-operatives
to build housing for middle in
come families.
The administration has pro-
posed, as a new feature of its
housing program, to make 81 bill
lion of long term loans avail
able to co-operatives for so years,
at fraction above 8 per cent.
1t has encountered strong oppo-
sition from Republicans and some
Democrats who contend these
terms would discriminate against
individual builders and buyers,
who get Government mortgage in
surance at AZ per cent for Is or
80 years.
The controversy over this new
cooperative plan has over
shadowed five other features of
the six-point private housing bill,
which are expected to go through.
Bricker Move Expected.
AS it now stands, the bill in
wolves an overall Government
obligation of $3.6 billion for con-
tinuation. with some changes, of
the various programs by which
the Government helps stimulate
home and apartment building.
When the debate ends at 4:30
o'clock this afternoon, Senator
Bricker, Republican, of Ohio will
move to strike out the admin
istration's special plan for Coop
eratives.
If that fails. two Republicans
Senators Ives of New York and
Tobey of New Hampshire, will
offer compromise to encourage
co-operatives to enter the housing
field, but without special interest
rates. The compromise would au-

If the President let's the COM

Celebrate Tax Date
U. S. Agency Tries to Beot
DeodIine on '43 Evosions;
Republicans Hit Levies

The Justice Department and
Republicans in Congress cele-
brated the March Is income tax
date today, but in different ways.
Eleven Republicans pointed to
the calendar and took the House
floor to lament and lambast what
they described as needless and
harmful Democratic tax policies.
The Government, meanwhile,
was trying to beat a March Is in
come tax deadline of its own.
This is the last day it can hope to
get grand jury indictments
against persons or corporations
suspected of big tax lodging in
1943. The statute of limitations
for prosecution in cases for that
war year runs out at midnight.
Los Angeles Cases Revealed.
Justice Department and District
Court officials here said any pos
sible tax evasion indictments
affecting Washington residents
would have to be returned in Bal
timore. They did not indicate
whether the grand jury there has
been investigating any District
cases.
In Los Angeles, however, Fed
eral authorities disclosed that
dozen persons prominent in the
social and entertainment world
are being investigated for "glaring
Irregularities" in their income tax
returns for 1943. Grand juries
indicted 20 business and profess
sional men there yesterday.
Republican recognition of March
IS in Congress today ranged from
recital of verse to proposal that
every March Is be "set aside as a
day of national mourning"
Representative Keating of New
York recalled that in Holland 800
years ago a government employe,
Johannes van den Brock, won a
contest for a new kind of tax by
inventing the stamp tax.
Democrats Would Win"
IF a contest were held today,
there is no question about who
would win," Mr.. Keating declared.
"The Democrats, who have been
in power since 1888, would win in
a walkaway."
Mr.. Heating cited 1888 hidden
taxes on a new small house. ISL
on a loaf of bread. 116 on a mans
suit, $50 on a woman's hat and
100 on an egg"
Representative Flood, of Penn

menting the excise levies on baby
oils and powders:
mo baby oil for you little man,
Barefoot boy with rump of tan.
We cannot pay the Federal tax,
So we cannot give you oily

Other Republicans urged tax
reduction to stimulate industry
and reduce unemployment.

Senate S Study Of
Hollywood Morals
Senator Attacks RosselIini
And Bergman, Calls for
Law to Clean Up Films
By the Assceioted Press

The Senate Commerce Com
mittee set the stage today for a
mid-April airing of Hollywood
FINLAND morals. It's angry chair
man, Edwin C. johnson was in
the directors chair.
Mr.. johnson, who erupted in
the Senate yesterday about the
Ingrid Bergman-Roberto Rossel-
lini romance, told a reporter the
motion picture industry is going
to be called on the carpet to
explain why the morals Of some
of it's stars aren't better.
I'm not a prude or Puritan
and I love good movies" Senator
johnson said. But it seems to
me the industry is getting to the
point where all an actor has to
do is get arrested for something
or get messed up in some immoral
affair and stardom is guaranteed" :"
The Motion Picture Producers
Association fired back in state
ment saying that Hollywood has
no more than its share OF people
who violate the moral code. 1t
said further that Senator john
sons proposed method of attack
ing the situation would menace
American freedoms and was "a
police state bill"
Senator Johnson proposed crack
down legislation under which
every American actor and pro-
ducer would have to be licensed
by a Commerce Department
bureau and a $4,000 permit OBJ
tanned for interstate shipment of
every motion picture.
Actors and producers could be
denied licenses if they had been
convicted on morals charges or
admitted committing acts CON
stituting the essential elements of
crime involving moral turpi-
tude."
Last night the radio and tele-
vision industries came in for some
public criticism also. Chairman
Wayne Coy of the Federal Com
munications Commission said in
an Oklahoma speech it was time
for them to clean house in the
matter of crime programs and
livery stable humor."
II broadcasters don't act, he
said, public opinion will demand
"the more drastic remedy of
governmental action"

Poland Leaves
World Bank and
Monetary Fund
Soviet Satellite Cites
Loan Refusal Charges
Domination by U. S.
BY the Associutsd Press

Poland withdrew from the
World Bank today with an angry
charge that the 48-nation insti-
tuition is under the thumb of the
United States and "its imperialist
policy" 1t also pulled out of the
international Monetary Fund.
In communication to the bank,
the unist-dominated Polish
government cited the refusal of
the bank to grant it a 5000 million
loan. 1t said the reason was Po-
lands rejection of "the so-called
Marshall Plan which had as its
aim the subordination of Europe
to the United States and the re-
building of the war potential of
Germany"
Camille Gutt, managing director
of the international Monetary
Fund, announced Polands with
drawal from membership. He did
not make public the letter of
resignation, but presumably it was
along the same tenor as that given
the bank.
To Reply "in Due Course"
The bank announced the Polish
letter had been referred to its
Board of Directors and that a
reply would be made "in due
course" 1t made no further COM
ment.
Poland's withdrawal from the
two institutions marked the end
of one more of the formal ties
between Western nations and the
countries behind the Soviet iron
curtain.
A spokesman for the Czech En-
bassy indicated his government
might follow Poland's example
and resign too.
I'm sure some such matter has
been discussed in Prague" he
said, "but I do not know if any
decision has been taken"
Czechoslovakia is the only other
Eastern European nation which
belongs to the fund and the bank.
Loan Refusal Criticized.
At last falls meeting of the two
institutions, Czech spokesmen BIT
terly criticized bank officials for
refusing to grant Czechoslovakia
a loan.
Both the fund and bank were
organized in 1914 with the idea
that they could play big part in
constructing a more peaceful and
happy world at the wars end.
Their main contribution was to
be through encouraging the flow
of commerce between nations and
easing the difficulties of currency
exchange.
Poland subscribed for $125 mil
lion of the banks original author
lied capital of $40 billion.
Like all other members, she was
required actually to put up only
25 per cent of that amount in gold
or dollars-or 10 per cent of her
reserves, whichever was less -
with the rest to be in Polish cur
rency.
Has Paid in Only S12,500.
Poland's quota for the none
tary fund was $l25 million. One
one-hundredth of l per cent,
$12,500, has been paid in.
The actual amount Poland has
put into the bank also is only
$12,5o0.
The Poles never made them
selves eligible for aid from the
multibillion-dollar world fund be-
cause they never fixed value for
the exchange of Polish currency
for other currencies.
The Poles charged the bank
violated statutory requirement."
