BOP WINS 8 ON RUML PLAN
Southern Democrats Swing 3
ee Into Coalition Against | Committee Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 22 (U. P.). «A coalition of Republicans and southern Democrats, is being formed _in the House today to promote the Rum] skip-a-year plan for placing taxpayers on a pay-as-you-go basis. It is the same sort of combination which has handed the administration other major defeats. The new coalition will be prepared for a major battle when four days of de-
bate on a withholding tax bill begins
Thursday. The coalition already has enlisted
seven of the eight members of one southern delegation and is using this . nucleus to extend its “invasion” of the once solid south.
Republicans Criticized Plan
Confirmation of the bi-partisan ‘move came from Democratic sources as eight Republican members of the house ways and means committee {ssued a minority report charging that the administration’s alternative to the Ruml plan would threaten %chaos” in the war bond program : and imperil the entire income tax structure after the war.” me report was largely confined arguments for the Ruml plan and a broadside attack on a bill recommended by the majority of the committee to levy a 20 per cent withholding tax July 1 against last year’s unpaid taxes, by-pass forSiveness and pay-as-you-go features, and set up a discount system Agor rewarding taxpayers who became current through double pay- - ment. Asks Partial Cancellation
President Philip Murray of the Congress: of Industrial Organizations, in a letter to all members of congress, reiterated the C. I. O.s opposition to the Ruml plan and urged adoption of “an equitable cancellation for all taxpayers of the normal tax and the first surtax " bracket for 1942 incomes.” The Republicans, who served notice that they will fight to substitute the Carlson bill version of the Ruml plan for the committee bill, described the latter proposal as * “an indigestible hasty-pudding conjured up in desperation, as a face-. saving gesture.”
Attacks Discount Plan
They accused Democrats on the committee of “deliberately” turn“ing their backs on the pay-as-you-‘go objective after weeks of hearings and debate, adding: “In their reactionary and backA ward-looking measure, the majority have merely continued the present out-moded and discredited system of collecting income taxes the year following the receipt of the income on which the tax is based, without regard for ability to pay.” The report singled out the discount plan contained in the admin- | § istration bill as “the most vicious” item, contending it would cost the treasury $250,000,000 more a year to reward taxpayers for becoming current than it would to borrow against future collections. The minority report called attention to the fact that Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr. has - indorsed the committee’s plan, although treasury officials earlier furnished the committee with a memorandum of defects in the proposal. Included, the revort said, was the
argument that failure to adopt a|
pay-as-you-go system would create 8 serious payment problem in years when income declines and unemployment grows. Also attributed to the treasury was a statement that the committee's present plan would require practically all the administrative machinery as a full pay-as-you-go plan.
ROBB ANNOUNCES LABOR CONFERENCE
James Robb, district director of United Steel Workers of Agmerica, today announced a regional labor-management conference to be held in Chicago April 11. More than 500 representatives of
management and labor from Indi-
ana, Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin are expected at the conference, which will be held under auspices of the steelworkers’ labor@nanagement victory committee. This , will be the second in a series of steelworker-sponsored conferences to promote the war effort by bringing about better relations between labor and management.
STRAUSS SAYS—IT'S ONE
IS IMPORTANT
Irwin Outlines Method by Which Ground Must Be Dug.
By A. A. IRWIN
Horticulturist, Agricultural Extension Service
The quality of soil where your victory garden is to be placed will have a great deal to do with its success, but much also depends on how well you prepare the soil. Preparation means loosening the soil to a depth of six or eight inches for seeds and plants. Fortunate will be the gardener who will be able to have his ground prepared by a plowman. There are few dvailable plows in Indianapolis and no new equipment is being made at this time. So, a large percentage of victory gardeners will
get their first taste 6f gardening when they spade the soil.
Spading Important Garden soil should be spaded to a depth of six or eight inches and then broken up into fine particles. It is important that the top of the six inches be turned over so that it will be on the bottom. Remove
stones and trash from the soil while spading. After the soil is turned. over with the spading fork, pulverize it by beating it once or twice with the fork. To break up lumps and make the soil fine and crumbly, pull a garden rake through it several times, leaving a level and fine seed bed. Don’t be overenthusiastic and spade it while it is wet. It will take several days of nice weather yet for clay soil to dry sufficiently to be spaded. Test for Moisture
To test whether the soil is too wet, squeeze a lump of it in your hand. If it remains in a sticky lump, it’s too wet to work. If the soil crumbles apart when squeezed, it’s ready to be spaded. An application of three or four pounds of victory garden commercial fertilizer per 100 square feet should give profitable returns on the garden. Commercial fertilizer may be spread on the ground before it is seeded and then turned under. - Another method is to apply fertilizer in a band along the row. Be sure to leave at, least two inches of soil between the fertilizer and the seed. The fertilizer should be at least three inches deep. Two to four; pounds per 100 feet of row are required for the band method. Do not apply lime to the backyard vegetable garden. Most lawns and gardens in Indianapolis are alkaline and vegetables prefer a slightly acid soil.
HOTEL PLUNGE KILLS EVANSVILLE WOMAN

WAGE FORMULA
Lewis’. Fight Overshadowed As Board Votes on ‘Little Steel’ Revision.
: BULLETIN NEW YORK, March 22 (U.P.). -==QOperators of soft coal mines in the northern Appalachian region admitted today that their joint wage conference with the United Mine Workers is now deadlocked and said they had submitted to ‘the national war labor board the facts on the disagreement and would ask for government conciliation. Charles O’Neill, spokesman for ‘the operators, said that the main point of disagreement was whether or not any wage agreement subsequent to April 1 should be applied retroactively.
By FRED W. . PERKINS Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, March 22.—John L. Lewis’ threat eof a coal mine shutdown a week from next Thurs day is temporarily overshadowed here today by other events expected
. |to show whether the administration
will weaken in its wartime wage control policies. . “The first event will be a meeting today of the national war labor board which is scheduled to vote on a demand from its American Federation of Labor members, backed by the C. I. O. members, for an abandonment of the “little steel” wage formula. Thus nearly all of the principal spokesmen for organized labor are lined up against the policy which the United Mine Workers leader has made his main target in the bitter New York discussions. If the formula is overtiirned 1 a way may be opened toward getting the administration out of a dilemma, and at the same time getting Mr. Lewis “off a limb.” But such a move, it is’ reported in official
! quarters, is strenuously opposed by
both Economic Stabilization Director James F. Byrnes and OPA Administrator Prentiss M. Brown. Presumably they are supported by President Roosevelt. Messrs. Byrnes and Brown are the official proponents of the doctrine that if the administration chooses to meet the current labor crisis by receding on the wage question, it risks another and even more serious set of troubles leading to uncontrolled inflation. t
Leaders to Meet F.D.R.
Indicative of the depth of the labor crisis is a drive by the labor members of. NWLB for reconsideration of its recent meat-packing and aircraft decisions denying general increases to large numbers of workers. These set the stage for the fight against the Lewis wage demands. If they are overturned the mine worker chieftain could win the main part of his battle without the need of a showdown which otherwise appears inevitable. The other Washington event bearing on the problem will be a meet-

"FACE Big TASK Reopening of Contract Probe May Be Delayed Until April 9
"By NOBLE REED The new county grahd jury will convene - tomorrow to face the heaviest program of investigations in years. The jury was smpansled Saturday by Judge W. D. Bair. of criminal court to replace the discharged jurors who had been investigating county contracts for six weeks. The old jury was “fired” by Judge Bain when it was disclosed that the foreman had been awarded a county contract himself. Resumption of the investigation of county contracts by the new jury will bc delayed at least two weeks because of the pressure of necessary action
{on cases involving persons who are
in jail, according to Leo Brown, deputy prosecutor, in charge of grand jury investigations. More than 30 witnesses who festified before the old grand jury regarding county contracts for food supplies for institutions will have to be recalled to repest their testimony. Mr. Brown said these witnesses and others to be cailed in conrec=tion with a sweeping inquiry into all county contracts cannot be called before about April 5.
Began 2 Months Ago
The investigation of contracts was started more than-two months ago following charges that “watered” milk and inferior grades of meat had been delivered to Sunnyside sanatorium. Following these charges, Prosecutor Sherwood Blue ordered grand jury investigation into other contracts including those covering a period of five years on the construction of additions to Julietta infirmary totaling nearly $500,000 compared to the original estimate of $263,000. While preliminary investigation was being made on these contracts, deputy prosecutors found evidence on other contracts involving purchase of highway department machinery which they said also would be submitted to the grand jury.
BIG JAP DESTROYER HIT IN SOLOMON SEA
MacARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS, Australia, March 22 (U.P.). —A PBY Catalina flying boat scored two direct hits on a large Japanese destroyer in the Solomon sea, north of New Guinea, 0:1 Sunday, crippling
it badly. Other allied planes attacked six |enemy vessels off Dutch New Guinea, two luggers off the Kai islands, and one cargo ship near Cape Gloucester, on New Britain island. The destroyer was last seen “limping toward its base at greatly reduced speed, trailing a large oil slick,” the headquarters communique said today. Off Cape Vandenbosch, on Dutch New Guinea, B-25 Mitchell medium bombers on Sunday morning attacked a three-ship convoy as it was leaving Kaimana. The convoy included two transports of 8000 or 9000 tons escorted by a small destroyer or corvette. Later in the day, a B-24 Liberator renewed the attack. There was no report of results. g
