Writing of Bill to Take Six Weeks: Compulsory

Savings Are Issue.

WASHINGTON, April 17 (U. B). —The house and ways and means committee hoped to end public hearings today on the 1942 war revenue program. In a few more days the committee will close its doors and begin to write the new tax bill, a job that will take at least six weeks. When the ways and means com{mittee started hearings early last month, the treasury, following President Roosevelt's instructions, asked for at least $7.600,000,000 in new taxes. Most committee members feel that is a tremendous tax program, but some administration officials think it is not big enough.

Forced Savings Is Issue Only vesterday, for example, very reliable sources predicted the ad ministration would recommend that more revenue be raised through a system of compulsory purchase of war bonds. Equally reliable souorces expressed the opinion that the administration would not recommend compulsory savings. 4 is generally accepted that | Price Administrator Leon Henderdon Wants forced savings or income

Rode for MacArthur

Claude Downs is a blade painter at Curtiss-Wright during this war. But during the last Worid War he was a motorcycle dispatch Fider assigned to the headquarters of a general named Douglas Mae- : Arthur. In faet, Mr. Downs is one of the few men who had daily personal contact with America’s war hero. Night ce. a... After RIERC BE Mr. Downs would dash off in pitch dark over roads under shell fire with important messages from MacArthur to Col. Mathew ‘Tine fey, an infantry regimental come mander. He had campaigned with Cal. Tinley on the Mexican border before America declared war and the colonel picked him especially for the job. Mr. Downs said Gen. MacArthur had little regard for his personal safety and that he often would have his headquarters “too close to the front. Because of this the enemy often would move in suddenly and Gen. NMuacArthur would have to shift his headquarters just as suddenly, making it hard for a solitary dispatch rider to find. So carefully-guarded were the dispatches he carried that Downs had three different plang for destroying the messages in event of capture. He was hit by shrapnel in the arm once, and was blown from his cycle another time. When Downs would make a particularly speedy trip, the general would commend him with: “That was a quick trip, sergeant” He frequently overhead confidential conversations between MaeArthur and his staff and sised up the general in this way: “MacArthur is no miracle man, but he is thorough in his planning —the officers under him could find no fault with his tactical plans, During the second battle of the Marne, Downs was speeding on an errand when he came upon a coms pany of soldiers from his regiment. The company commander told him he had better not approach any closer to the front, fearing the noise of the cycle might arouse the enemy which was to be attacked within a few hours. So Downs grabbed a bayoneted rifle and went “over the top” in the attack against 700 of the Kaiser's Bavarian Guard. He was struck in the face by a German rifle in handto<hand fighting and wears a plate under one cheek ag a constant reminder of the battle Downs is 47 and will soon. “I'm teady to go again” he said
