Washington, May 4.—Following its spring recess, the house of represen tatives hopes now to get the highly controversial question of taxes settled within the next few days. Bitter fights on the floor are expected be fore a bill is enacted, since the Dem ocrats and Republicans are still at loggerheads over the “forgiveness” of taxes on 1942 income, but they are closer together than they were and all members realize that the tax question has been delayed too long already and must be passed on to the senate as quickly as possible;. Whatever plan the house agrees on will probably be changed by the sen ate unless it turns out to be a plan which the public favors. The Demo crats, who were opposed to any for giveness of 1942 taxes and were cool to a pay-as-you-go plan for this year, have now partially agreed to both plans but they have been influenced Local Board Releases List of Draftees Accept ed In April Quota. The local draft board was called upon to furnish 89 white men for the April quota to be sent to Fort Jack- son for physical examinations pre paratory to induction into the armed forces. The list was not printed in The Chronicle as in*the past, due to the new ruling prohibiting printing the names of the registrants until they have been actually inducted for mili tary service.

The President has said R . . is stationed at that tax income this year must be ™ ’i he ™ y - $16,000,000,000 greater than last. The committee plan would not make this possible, but might be supplemented by a sales tax or some other-*form of taxation to make up the difference. Congress’ chief interest this week, outside of the tax problem, is the growing restlessness of labor, the increasing number of strikes and the -definance of government authority by John L. Lewis and other union lead ers. Although the President can or der the army to intervene whenever labor conditions get out of hand, it is apparnt that this offers no perma nent solution. It is also apparent that if any labor group, which has had its wages adjusted according to the “Lit tle Steel formula,” is given another increase, unions in all fields will de mand similar increases and farmers will demand higher prices. The President’s “hold the line” or der would indicate that he does not intend to permit new increases, but he may be forced to use army per suasion to keep mines and factories working at full speed. Congressmen are aroused by the many letters they are receiving indicating that the pub lic pictures the labor fight as a battle between John L. Lewis and the Unit ed States government. There is, however, some public support of Mr. Lewis’ contention that miners should be paid from the time they enter a mine to the time they leave, rather than just for thf hours . tu , _, spent in actual mining.
