8 Million To Be Jobless After War
WASHINGTON, March 20.—(UP) The Senate war contracts subommittce, warning that 8.000,000 workers will be jobless when war utput stops, declared today the naion must aim for $200 000.000.000 a /ear production in the postwar perod to achieve a “healthy domestic ■conomy." In a formal report criticizing the government’s present policies on conract termination, the committee, leaded by Sen. James E. Murray, D., dont., observed that national prouction of goods and services, which
which will turn out the goods to tax returns but finally decided not to help raise the standards of living not ] for fear of losing revenue fpom some only in this country but throughout I 9.000 000 taxpayers and from the in-
come from partially exempt govern-
ment securities.
Under the committee’s plan, the victory tax has been given the name “normal tax" at the same three per cent rate and the present normal anil surtax combined into a new surtax. Rep, Jere Cooper, D., Tenn., , a committee member, said combining all three levies into a single tax rate would have lost revenue from “some 8,000,000 or 9,000,000 taxpayers” on
the wprld.
Committee Working To Simplify Taxes WASHINGTON, March 20.—(UP) — The congressional drive to simplify taxes took another step forward, today when Sen. Wa^er F. George, D., Ga.. said his Senate finance committee plans to ease or eliminate the task of filing quarterly estimates of future income and taxes. He did not disclose details but said the plan was aimed primarily at
where the name -Rig Rill” was formerly a household word. Thompson, a native of Boston, first was elected mayor in 1915 and served two terms, until 1923, when he was succeeded by William E. Dever. However, the sensational rise of powerful anil warring agngr during the Dever administration opened the way for “Big Bill" to run
again.
He was re-elected in 1927 on an "America First” program. It was then, while taking a stand agains' foreign alliances in any form, tha.
whom the committee does not want Thompson stirred up an Internationa
to impose a surtax but who would be subject to the new normal tax, just as they ndw are subject to the vic-
tory tax.
The House simplification' plan, ex
amounted only to $98,000 000.000 in helping those whose incomes are "al- j pecte[1 to reach the Senate in about

'940. has now soared to about $194,)00.000,000 — an “unprecedented
leight."
But, it said, about half the basis )f this gigantic output consists cf var contracts, both prime and sub, ind “when war contracts are withIrawn, the danger is that the entire difice will topple over.” Therefore, he committee said, postwar producion problems cannot be solved mertV in terms of cleaning up governnent war commitments—“they cannot be solved by looking backward." “It is possible for the demobilization program to be planned in such a way that our total output of goods and services during the transition peiiods falls to no less than $135,000,000 000 a year,” the report said. . “It is entirely feasible for us to aim at $200 000.000.000 a year or more within five years after the end of
the war.”
Thus, it said, the 8.000.000 persons who face unemployment can find in expanded or new industries
two or three weeks would relieve 30,000,000 taxpayers of the job of
most impossible” to forecast—largely professional and commission men whose incomes vary greatly from
month to month.
At the present time, about 15,000,000 of the nation’s 50.000,000 taxpayers are required to file advance estimates of their earnings and to make quarterly payments on the tax | over and above the amount that will be withheld from their wages or salaries. Persons whose estimates are off more than 20 per cent are subject
to penalty.
George said that many of the 15,000.000 have relatively stable incomes and therefore can file a single estimate without fear of miscalculat-1 ing. But such persons as commission | men or doctors, dentists and lawyers. | he said, are compelled to file revised ! estimates because of their fluctuat-!
ing incomes.
He said his committee would at- j
tempt to solve this problem unless 1 William the House, which soon takes up the 1 former mayor of Chicago who caused
furor by ordering the destruction oi all pro-British books in Chicago’! schools and libraries. He damned the late King GeorgV in the colorful Thompson languag. and threatened to "punch the Kinf in the snoot" if he ever came to Chicago. He never deserted his han
computing their returns and woul.1 J and fast stand on Republican politic) simplify the task of the remaining j and never lost his “hate Britain” at-
whose annual earnings exceed $5,000, | One of the major features is adonj tion of $500 as a basis for all personal exemptions $500 for a single per- | son, $1,000 for a married couple ] without children, and $500 for each dependent. Generally speaking, it will mean some increase in taxes for childless married couples but a slight decrease for taxpayers with large
families.

Thompson was one of the most colorful politicians of his generation, He was a big man who did things ir a big way. In the 1920’s, he organ ized a boosters’ club to spend $1.
000 000 advertising Chicago.
■ Thompson was born May 14, 1869 j and came to Chicago with his parents when he was still a baby. He : left school when he was 14 years olo ■ and went to Montana to punch cows. He also worked on ranches in Coloi rado and Wyoming and once manag- ^ ed a Nebraska cattle ranch for three years. In 1892. he returned to Chi1 cago and started his political career ! as an alderman eight years later. Thonrpson had lived in virtual re- | tiroment since his defeat in 1931 when he made a feeble attempt to i gain the mayorality for the fourth ; i itne. His successor was the late Anton J. Cermak who was wounded

these states would serve somewhat to ease the shock of North Carolina’s bolt for Dewey. North Carolina Republicans named their convention delegate* last wee^ and thereupon adopted a \ resoulution endorsing Dewey for president. In a free for all scramble such as that now underway for the Republican presidential nomination, the man who comes up with substantial southern support will have a big ad/antage. Tile delegations of southern Republicans usually are compact, -uaily maneuvered political groups. Although the expression of Dewey sentiment in North Carolina probably iisa-ppointed Wilikie backers, Willkle s by far the must aggressive Romblicnn campaigner in the field and tometlmes the only one. In Wisconsin or instance, Dewey has repudiated lis own delegates and tooth Stassen uid MacArthur are away at the A-ars. A Wilikie success in [Wisconsin seem s to be indicated. In Nebraska he will be opposed by the state Republican organization, especially by the state’s congressional delega-' tion. Wilikie consistently has recognized hut minimized the fact that congres(ional B^putolicans are cold to his ■andidacy. The fact that he came lere last week to talk quietly, with i number of them suggests to some vbservers that Wilikie hopes to mprove his relations -with Republicans in congress. The circumstances of his Conference here remain indistinct.
REGISTRATION STILL OPEN Registration is still open to en--ollees in the night class for War Production Training in metalwork. Older men, women and girls interested in employment in war indusries should enter. This training will urther their advancement on the job with increased pay. The class meets in the shops of he vocational building at 7 p. m. -ach evening. The course covers the basic skills in arc welding, acetylene welding, forging, metal lathe, bench metal, sheet metal and machinery •epair. The classes are tuition free.
WASHINGTON, March 20 (UP) W» ndell L. Wilikie Iwas revealed today to have had last minute conferences here with Republican Sena tors before beginning his three-week: campaign for the Wisconsin and Nebraska presidential primaries. In contrast to other visits to Washington, Wilikie was unseen and unheard except by those with whom lie had political conferences last week. He opened his Wisconsin campaign over the weekend with a farm policy speech in Richland Center. Full slates of Wilikie delegates are entered in the April 4 Wisconsin primary and the April 11 Nebraska primary. Wisconsin will have 24 and I Ncbra.-ka 15 delegates to the Re publican National Convention. Gov j Thomas E. Dewey of New York is j represented by a partial slate of 16 delegates in Wisconsin despite his request that his name not be used. Former Governor Harold E. Sta'sen of Minnesota, now a naval officer, and G n. Douglas MacArthur aU-' will be represented in Wisconsin. Willkie’.s full scale Invasion of Nebraska and Wisconsin Is intended to demonstrate that there is a grass roots demand (for his renominatior. for president and that, despite polla, he is the popular choice ovei Dewey, Furthermore, top heavy success in
