Part of that amount will be raised by putting tax collections col-lections on a current basis, thus bringing into the treasury this year the revenue on incomes which generally are higher than those for 1942. WASHINGTON, May 26 U.E Here's how the house and senate tax conferees would put taxpayers taxpay-ers on a pay-as-you-go basis: Taxpayers owing not more than $50 tax on 1942 earnings would be relieved of paying anything for that year. Those who owed more than $50 would be forgiven 75 per cent fof the total liability for the year and pay the remaining 25 per cent In two equal installments falling due March 15, 1944, and March 15, 1945. However, the payment made on March 15, 1943 and the one to be made June 15 1943, would apply to 1943 taxes. -(A special provision is being drafted to eliminate or reduce collections on 1942 earnings from Individuals whose tax was above $50 but still not large enough to pay the cost of collecting the 25 per cent carry-over.) - Another special provision would make the 75 per cent "forgiveness" "forgive-ness" applicable to 1943 earnings It they are lower than 1942. Thus, tfie taxpayer pays on his highest income of the two years in question. ques-tion. Still another special provision pro-vision provides for heavier collections col-lections from individuals whose 1942 or 1943 earnings are $20,000 higher than for either 1938, 1939 or 1940, reflecting high war profits. prof-its. i Collections on a current basis would start July 1 through a 20 per cent withholding tax, deducted de-ducted from paychecks. Deductions Deduc-tions start at all over $61 a year for a single person with no dependents de-pendents and $1,248 for married persons with no dependents. An Additional exemption of $312 a year Is allowed for each depend- cmier category. ; The 20 per cent reduction would pay the whole tax, however, only for Individuals with a nef income qf not more than $2,000 after deduction de-duction of personal exemptions. Individuals with income in excess ex-cess of that figure would be re- 3ired to estimate the amount of difference and pay it in quarterly installments on a current basis throughout the year. J Non-wage taxpayers, such as doctors and lawyers and those whose income is derived from investments, in-vestments, would not be subject to the withholding tax, but would be required to file estimates in advance and pay quarterly installments install-ments on the basis of those estimates. esti-mates. A final adjustment must be made by March 15 of the ensuing caver has overpaid, he is entitled to a refund or credit on next year's taxes.

The penalty is six per cent additional tax on the difference differ-ence between earnings and estimates esti-mates which are more than 20 per cent in error: Farmers would not be required to file an income estimate until Dec. 15 of the taxable year. They are allowed up to 33 1-3 per cent margin of error. Farm labor, domestics, clergymen clergy-men and members of the armed services would be exempted from the withholding tax, but required to file estimates of income on the same basis as all other individuals. indi-viduals. Such estimates would be required from all single taxpayers taxpay-ers expecting to earn $3,500 or more, regardless of dependency status. Members of the armed services would be allowed $1,500 tax exemption, in addition to their regular individual exemptions. Thus, an unmarried soldier has a total tax exemption of $2,000. A married soldier with no dependents depend-ents has a total exemption of $2,-700.

Immediately after school opened in the fall of 1942 these boys and girls began asknig if they could purchase war savings stamps and bonds. The school made this possible pos-sible ,and in the early days of the school year sales started off with such a bang that it was thought if this pace could be maintained these pupils would v invest the gratifying amount of $3,000 in stamps and bonds during the year. However, these loyal Americans were not satisfied; with such a meager amount. They decided to further deny themselves of chewing chew-ing gum, candy, popcorn, ice cream cones, etc., and purchase more stamps and bonds with the money thus saved. It was not long before be-fore money came rolling in so rapidly rap-idly that , the school had to send to the post ofice several times a day to supply the demands. On such days as "Pearl Harbor" Hitler's birthday and the breaking of the news of the Japanese execution execu-tion of American flyers several hundred dollars poured in from these American patriots to show their indignation of our enemies. So, as the school year nears completion; the goal of $3,000 has been nearly tripled; for them f their meager savings these people have invested between $8,000 and $9,000 in war savings stamps and bonds. Congratulations to youl boys and girls of the Joaquin school for the example you set to other children as well as to many grown-ups. driver of the car, Gordon E.

BY NED RUSSELL United Press Staff Correspondent ALLIED HEADQUARTERS. May 26 (UP) Almost 400 Allied airplanes swarmed over Italy's outer ring of island defenses throughout Tuesday, bombing and machine gunning ships, docks, air fields and other targets in a "terrific hammering" of Sicily, Sardinia, and Pantelleria Islands, Meanwhile, U. S. heavy bomb ers battered the Sicilian base of Messina in a damaging daylight attack, while the RAF struck at the Axis seaplane base of Prevesa, in Greece. Spearheaded by American bombers and fighters, the raids on the Italian Island fringe represented repre-sented a one-third increase in the weight of attack, as compared to Monday's heavy blows, and they destroyed 23 enemy planes, a supply ship and a tug, boosting to 357 - the total of Axis planes knocked out in the last week. Twenty-eight enemy ships have been hit or sunk in the last three days. Officials called the raid on Messina "one of the most successful suc-cessful attacks" of the war. An official statement said the raids on Sicily, Sardinia, and Panterlleria represented a "terrific "ter-rific hammering" of a variety of targets throughout the daylight hours, giving the enemy no rest. There were Allied planes over one or all of the three islands all day, disrupting communications and destroying or damaging supplies. (Axis broadcasts and reports from underground sources recently recent-ly told of evacuation of the most important centers and clearance of coastal defense areas on Sardinia Sar-dinia and Sicily in anticipation of an Allied invasion. German troops reportedly reinforced the Italians on Sardinia.) The American loss of 11 planes on Tuesday was described as "remarkably "re-markably small (two and one-half per cent) and reflecting the vastly vast-ly superior leadership, tactics and equipment" of the Allies. Cr.ews reported great damage done to important industrial and military targets, despite "strong reaction" by Axis fighter planes which apparently had been reinforced rein-forced recently but which lost 23 craft in battles over Sicily.

Allied aerial warfare. But in scornful terms he repudiated the suggestion that the United Nations Na-tions would rely entirely on airplanes air-planes to pound the Axis to its knees. He gave the general impression that any big land show against either Germany or Japan would be preceded by pulverizing air attack for Germany, more of what she has been getting recently; for Japan, Ja-pan, a lot of the same which she has tasted only once so far. The first big ground operation against Japan probably will open this fall in Burma, but the big show against the Japanese homeland home-land will be many months thereafter, there-after, according to the best information infor-mation here.

Churchill Adroit-Churchill Adroit-Churchill was adroitly suggestive sugges-tive about future developments in Russia when he was questioned about whether the Soviet forces would remain in the war after Germany is defeated, and about the prospects of Russia warring against Japan. Starting into the discussion of the Soviet union, Churchill cited the German defeat at Stalingrad as one of the classic examples of this war on how Hitler can be de-fated. de-fated. The past 10 or 11 months, he added, provided indisputable proof that the tide of war. had turned in favor of the Allies." Praising the Russian people for having torn what he called a large part of the guts out of the German Ger-man army, Churchill declined to suggest how the Soviet should conduct itself in relations with Japan. Howeber, he did say that Russian strength would grow as time goes on and that surely their peopl emust know that Japan has watched the Soviet union with a purely opportunistic eye.
