Telegrams, Letters Pour In After Defeat of Rum! Plan;

+ Democrats: on ‘Hot

Puts Out Compromise.

Fa * 'By MARSHALL MeNEIL Times Special Writer

April 2.—The failure of the house to pass a pay-as-you-go income-tax plan is widely unpopular

WASHIN GTON,

around the country.

From almost every section, telegrams and letters urging action on such a plan are beginning to reach congressmen. Many of those who supported the Ruml-Carlson bill—the only pay-as-you-go plan on which a vote was taken in the _house—are getting messages of congratulation. Those who voted against the bill—and failed to bring forward a substitute plan—are being asked by their constituents what

‘they intend to do about it. And there is a note of impatience in the constituents’

messages. The Demoeraid majority, responsible for the Rumi defeat, is on a hot spot. And fhe ‘ty leaders are trying to “get off that spot through some kind of compromise.

‘Rayburn Promises Compromise The majority leader, Rep. John

W. McCormack of Massachusetts,’ :

put out & compromise feeler yesterday when he announced his “personal” view that some form of pay-as-you-go tax measure should be _enacted by July 1, with partial “for- * ‘giveness” of 1942 taxes. "" Speaker Sam Rayburn has been ., making the rounds among disturbed Democratic congressmen, assuring them that “we’ll get some kind of pay-as-you-go.” “The people want to get current with their taxes,” Mr. Rayburn admits. While still insisting that the ‘Rum! plan “went too far,” the speaker agrees that “we’ll have to have partial forgiveness.” The Democratic whip, Rep. Robert Ramspeck of Georgia, is talking in a similar vein, Meantime, the Republican strategy, according to one G. O. P. ~ leader, is to “let the Democrats stew in their juice for a while.” The Republicans will continue to |insist that the Ruml-Carlson measure— which was defeated by only 17 votes—is the best plan for establishing pay-as-you-go, but they are

COAL DEALERS SCAN PROBLEM

Next Winter’s Deliveries to Be Topic at Meeting Here Thursday.

Faced with a possible coal shortage next winter because of increased industrial demands and delivery difficulties from the mine to retailer to-consumer, local dealers will meet for a dsicussion of the problem at 1:30 p. m. Thursday at the ‘Athenaeum. Confronted with a similar problems last spring, retailers urged consumers to stock up for the winter. Partial solution this year seems to follow the same line of reasoning, according to H: A. Rogers, executive secretary of the Indianapolis Coal Merchants Association, Inc. Some of the aspects to be discussed are the availability of coke, Pocahontas-smokeless, West Vir-ginia-Kentucky and Indiana coal. The possibility of rationing caal to the consumer by the retailer also will be discussed.

Speakers will include

Come April 12 and the women of America will be asked to dig down into their savings to raise three hundred million dollars in bonds—enough money to equip two million fighting men. The government, figuring on holding down inflation by coaxing in the miliions of loose dollars floating around the country, will ask women not only to give up, but dig up extra money from savings:

PLANTS

Irwin Recommends Those Vegetables to Be Planted Now.

bear up under light frosts, |among the most important vegge-

cultural agent, told his class at Indiana university extension center last night. In ‘this classification fall the vegetables that may be planted now. Included are beets, carrots, cabbage plants, kale, lettuce, onion seed, sets of plants, parsnips, peas, Irish potatoes, spinach, Swiss chard and turnips. Beets and carrots are the major root crops, Mr. Irwin said. Planting and Larvesting of these crops are similar. Both must be thinned out to dttain maximum production and require shallow cultivation. They may be stored in boxes and filled with moist sand,

Cabbage ‘Easy’

Cabbage is one of the easiest plants to grow, the instructor pointed out. It's too late to start seeds for the early crop, but plants should be obtained as soon as they are available at stores. Seeds for the late crop may be sown in June. For heads, not too large, set plants 12 incles apart in rows two feet apart, Care should be taken to buy yellows resistant varieties. Among the most hardy of all vegetables is kale, Mr, Irwin said. Sow the seed in early spring when the first garden is planted. Thin the young plants to 18 inches apart in the row. The young plants removed in thinning may be transplanted to another place in the garden or used for greens.

Avoid Head Lettuce

Rhubarb and asparagus are perennial plants that live for many years . and should be included in

crop is hardy and almost insect free once it is established. Asparagus is easily grown and a beautiful addition to the .garden. It should be planted far enough from fences or garden edges to allow for the sweeping growth of the ferns during the late summer.

Leaf lettuce was recommended for both early spring and late fall planting. Head lettuce will seldom head here, according to Mr, Irwin. Butter, cos and bibb lettuce may be grown as a fall crop. Spinach and Swiss chard also were suggest

now “they will be productive all summer. Peas are the biggest gamble in this part of the country as far as getting much produce is concerned, Mr. Irwin warmed. They prefer cool weather and when mature must be picked and canned immediately.

stituents were beginning to appeal for action. 4“They are not absolutely insisting upon complete forgiveness of 1942 taxes,” he said, “but they know there will have to be some forgiveness for us to get on a current taxpaying basis, and they want us on a current basis.” Secretary Morgenthau has said that no pay-as-you-go plan can be expected to be put in operation this year,, but the validity of this will have to be weighed against public demand for action. How quickly the congressional majority moves will depend upon how loudly the people shouti Mr. Morgenthau has been

Place the plants 16 to 24 inches

When well established a 100-foot row should yield about 30 pounds of asparagus.
