HOOSIERS FIGHT FOR GROSS TAX
Republicans Insist Levy Be Paid on War Contracts; Oppose Cochran Bill.
, Times Special WASHINGTON, March 12.—Hoosier Republicans were ready today to fight the revamped Cochran bill which would exempt all war contractors and subcontractors from paying the Indiana gross income tax. : The measure, favorably reported in the house by the ways and means
of beer and|committee, is sought by the army
and navy to save bookkeeping. Its first sponsor, Rep. John J. Cochran (D. Mo.) also alleges it would save many millions of federal funds. Chairman Robert L. Doughton (D. N. C.) of the weays and means committee has his name on the new bill, but the old provisions remain the same. Fears Wreck to Structure Under it no war contractor or subcontractor would pay and state or local gross income, sales or use taxes. : Gilbert K. Hewit, director of the Indiana. gross income tax division, testified before the committee that it will wreck the Indiana tax structure. President Hassil E. Schenck of the Indiana Farm bureau pointed out that it w#ll hamstring the public schools and Clarence A, Jackson, executive director of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, reported that the -hamber is “all-
out against it.”
Members Opposed Attorney Thomas, Quinn, who represented the chamber here in the successful fight against the administration attempt to federalize the unemployment compensation setup, has returned and is ready to present their viewpoint. All eight G. O. P. house members are ready to attack the thing if it reaches the house floor. The whole matter was settled when Ralph Gates, Republican state chairman guest of Senator Raymond E. Willis (R. Ind) at a dinner with the delegation Monday night. One of the points raised by Rep Earl Wilson (R. Ind.) was that Governor - Schricker hasn't’ been militant enough about the matter and “so the Republicans will have to save the state tax structure if the Democrats will not do it.”

Parts Put on
SAN DIEGO, Cal, March 12 (U. P.).— Ryan Aeronautical Co. officials were expected today to
answer charges ‘that they ordered workmen, made idle by lack of parts, to “put- on a good show” while William S. Knudsen and other OPM officials were inspecting the plant last summer. The company was building training planes for the army, but “we had just run out of parts and didn’t have anything to do,” Charles Anderson, 22, an employee, told members of a legislative committee on economic planning yesterday.
‘Pretended to Work
“So we took wings that had been finished and put them on benches and pretended to work on them,” he said. “I was assigned to pull on some cables and wiggle the ailerons. “Oh, they put on a good show.
Show for OPM
There hasn't been an increase in production at Ryan since Dec. 7 (the day of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor), but I hear they may be ready to do more in two or three months. Each week they would run out ‘of spars (used in wing bracing) about Thursday and Friday because they couldn't get. enough of them down here from the north where they are made.”
Says “Slowdown” Ordered
The witness who said lack of materials and co-ordination between men and materials had caused many “slowdowns” fold the committee that “they told us to slow down a number: of times or we would run out of work.” He did not reveal who gave the order. “I guess I've stuck my neck out all right,” he continued, “but I am going to be in the army soon, and I want to see that we get some support from back home.”
DEADLINE ON TRUCK PLATES IS MARCH 25
Midnight, March 25, was set today by Secretary of State James Tucker as the deadline for purchase of 1942 truck plates. After that all truckers driving with 1941 plates will be subject to arrest. State police agreed not to make arrests under the new law which fixes Feb. 28 as the legal deadline for new plate purchases because the supreme court did not hold the new truck license fee law invalid until Feb. 27. ; The deadline for the truck plate purchases was left up to Mr. Tucker.

WILSON SEEKS SEGOND TERM
9th District Congressman To Base Campaign on
Economy Program.
Times Special “ WASHINGTON, March 12.—Rep. Earl Wilson today announced that he would seek re-election from the ninth district in Indiana, subject to the Republican primary May 5, on a program of economy. “To finish the task we've set out to do,” he said, “every man, woman and child must find his job and do it. This is no time for square pegs in round holes. Our federal government must be streamlined from top to bottom. Opposes “Red Tape” “We have neither time nor money to waste. Mr, and Mrs. Taxpayer must receive a dollar's worth of
work and a dollar's worth of result from every dollar paid in taxes.”
He pointed out that he had suggested a 10-point plan to reduce expenditures and “cut red tape,” including the consolidation of bureaus and departments.
Urges Agency Mergers
“There are dozens and dozens of agencies working at cross purposes,” the congressman said, “which should be consolidated or eliminated. This government should be organized on the same principle as the army uses when making up a soldier's pack, not one extra ounce unless it serves its purpose and is absolutely necessary.
“Not only would this get the results we want, but it would save millions of dollars for the people and turn other millions into the channels of war production.”
Rep. - Wilson, former school administrator and farmer in southern Indiana, was elected to his first two-year term in 1940 from the normally Democratic ninth district.

Pledge Listings. April 12 Replace House-to-House Canvass Method.
“Bond Sunday,” April 12, a day on which all Hoosiers will register their participation in the defense savings bond program, is a substitute for the house-to-house canvass method of obtaining bond pledges. “It is not a bond sales day,” Eugene C. Pulliam, executive chairman of the Indiana: defense savings staff, said. “Instead we are out to enlist everyone who has an income in this savings program.” “We are asking only wage and salary earners sign a pledge form telling us how they are now buying, or intend to buy bonds. ‘Anyone with a source of income, from teen-age boys and girls on up, are eligible and should sign a pledge form.” Open 4000 Polling Places Details of the Bond Sunday registration were being explained today to executive committeemen from Indiana counties at a series of instruction schools in the Claypool hotel, On Bond Sunday the 4000 precinet polling places in the state will be opened for the registration from noon until 8 p. m. Members of the American Legion, its auxiliary, and workers of the two major political parties will operate the polls and refer to the poll books in order to get everyone out to the registration places. Persons, who because of illness or absence are unable to'get to thé polls, may fill out a pledge form which will be carried by newspapers of the state. The form can be mailed to executive committeemen in the absentee’s locality. Pledges to Be Kept Secret Wray Fleming, defense savings staff administrator, said the pledging will be kept secret. He said the state defense council would use the survey as a comprehensive registration and to give recognition to those who already have made bond purchase pledges. Charles E. Hoover, Eber Spence and Mrs, Henry E. Ostrom of the state defense savings staff are leading the discussions at the instruction schools. The final session of the schools will .be held tomorrow.

“In this time of national peril the home front is all important. Our fighting men on the high seas and on the far-flung battle lines look to the home front for the munitions, the supplies and direction to achieve victory on the field of action. We are not going to fail them. Thoroughly aware of this responsibility we are going to maintain a united home front and rush through every aid for the success-
flict.
“We can win this war without sacrificing American freedom, without placing the home front under a dictatorship. There is no need, and will be no need, to forego elections during the war period. The whispered danger of changing horses in the middle of the stream has no place in an intelligent and well-di-rected war effort.”
