WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) "N^EW YORK.—Randolph Evern ' ghim Paul, who is preparing the treasury’s new tax program, is a suave, pleasant man with somewhat — . the manner Tax Authority Ha* of a kjndiy Ho Good Word for doctor who Taxation System 11 11 s. u s, ' * is not nice medicine but we've got to take it. He has written probably as tnurh on taxes, and with as full authority, as any man in Ameri ca, but we can’t find he ever said a good word for them. In his book, "Law of Federal In come Taxation," published in 1934, he said: "It (taxation) is an evil which is in direct propor tion to the rate of taxation im posed, and in these days of re sumed high rates it is more Im portant than it has been for many years.” We had suspected as much, and just now it is apparent that Mr. Paul hadn’t seen anything then. He is a New York lawyer, with the firm of Lord, Day and Lord, and for the last four years has been Sterling lecturer on taxation in the Yale university school of law, previously having lectured at Harvard. It is as special adviser to Secretary Mor genthau on taxation that he is now outlining the tax program. He was appointed to the post of full-time adviser on December 12 of last year, after past part-time service in this capacity. He is believed to be wary of any prescription by which an over-dose of taxation not only would fail as an antidote for in flation but might bring worse evils. He is a native of Hackensack, N. J., educated at Amherst college and the New York university law school. He became a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York last June. In his treasury ad visory capacity he is a dollar-a-year man. IT’S hard luck having a rubber shortage just when we need rub ber head lines. Pity the poor copy reader trying to work in this one: , _ . , . Jonkheer Al He a 1 rimmed to j^^g warm Fit, Though Name aldus Lam Could Take a Cut da van Star kenborgh Stachouwer. He is the governor general of the Netherlands and commander in chief of all the Dutch armed forces of land, sea and air which are bagging perhaps more than their full share of Japanese in the opening encounters of the war in the Pacific. His person has none of the re dundancy of his name. He is trim, fit, energetic and hard as nails. At 52, blue-eyed and blue blooded, a cold, precise realist, trained in the world's toughest school of administration, he is an ascetic in his personal habits, an abstainer from liquor and to bacco—all this in refutation of the common stereotype of the fat burgher smoking a meer schaum pipe. The governor general of the Dutch East Indies has virtually absolute powers. But five years is the limit in which this dictatorial mandate may be exercised, and the crown, wary about dictators, may recall the governor general for inefficiency or malfeasance. That's how the can ny Dutch get efficiency in their co i lonial empire, with a check-rein and i a martingale on it. The governor’s term was up last December, but the Dutch saw this war coming and con tinued him indefinitely in of fice. At the same time, they au tomatically solved the problem of full centralization of wartime authority, the integration of land and air forces and of Industrial and military effort. Only on one other occasion, in the first World war, has the term of the gover nor general been thus extended. The governor, born in the Nether land Indies, studied law, entered the diplomatic service, became gover nor of his native province, served at six foreign capitals, including Washington and became president of the university from which he was graduated. His wife is a former Baltimore girl, Christine Marburg, the daughter of a former United States ambassador to Belgium. A knowing friend of this writ er, who spent two years in the Far Fast, tells me that Gover nor Stachouwcr has achieved a miracle of organization and dis cipline in pulling together the European and Eurasian Hol landers and Indonesians. “And," my friend added, “the natives are with him. That’s going to be important in this war. They have organized jungle armies of their own and they’re going to be hard to take. The governor has been tough but he has been fair and he is no tyrant.” WASHINGTON.—Experts on stra tegic materials simply shake their heads when asked whether they will be able to get their hands on enough steel, copper, lead, zinc, rubber, etc., to provide for the latest step ping-up of national defense needs. The whole picture is best illustrat ed by a high official of OPM into whose office the writer walked within half an hour after President Roosevelt finished his outline of planes, tanks, etc., which MUST be made in 1942 and 1943. "Can we do it?" I asked. “Why, it’s ridiculous," he shouted. “It’s not a question of money. But where are we going to get the stuff? It’s impossible.” He had pounded his desk in anger at the first word. Then he relapsed into gloom. There was a moment of silence. Then a sheepish grin over spread his face. “You know," he said, "when the President said we must make 50,000 planes a year I said THAT was absurd—that it couldn’t be done. Well, along about July we WILL be making planes at the rate of 50,000 a year.” There was another pause. "So I guess we will do what he asks, even if it is impossible,” he concluded. "Now, what in the world are you bothering me today for?” • # • Demands to Be Met! The point of all this now is that the President’s specifications as to the number of planes, tanks, ships, guns, etc., WILL be met, in all hu man probability—BUT—don’t look for any relaxing of present bans on civilian supply. Things are going to get tougher, not easier, and it would be wise to face that prospect with our eyes open. Down at the OPM offices the chief complaint is that everybody thinks an exception should be made in HIS case. The company that has spent a fortune convincing custom ers that coffee is better in vacuum tins; the vegetable and fruit and meat canners, who incidentally have been backed strongly by the department of agriculture. Worst offender of all is Civilian Defense! “The idea of a million air-raid wardens being told to get two shov els, and two pails, and every house holder being told to get two flash lights,” snorted one official worried about strategic materials. “It would be much better to let a lot of houses be burned by incendi ary bombs than to use so much metal in taking precaution against raids that we would not have enough fighter planes to drive the bombers away,” he said. “Why, these Civil ian Defense people have gone crazy.” Then there were the people who thought the tremendous inventories of the big motor companies would mean production of cars until those inventories are cleaned up. “The best copper mine we are going to discover,” said one of the strategic material experts, "is in the inventories of a lot of manufactur ers, especially the forehanded boys who saw the trouble coming and stocked up beyond all reason so they would be able to carry on. “It is perfectly true that some of the materials we want already have been fabricated, and that it will be uneconomic to reclaim them. But war is a mighty uneconomic busi ness, and expense is no object when we are worrying about getting planes and guns.” • • • OPM Official Tells Plan for War Goods The aluminum drive was a case where the public co-operated with totally unexpected enthusiasm. Alu minum poured in! And so did a lot of stuff folks thought was alumi num, but wasn’t. This would not have made any difference if the stuff had been cleared through ordinary junk dealers, who would have sorted out the material, packed it in an orderly way for shipping, and deliv ered it where it was needed. But there was a passion for elimi nating all profit, so the people who know how to handle junk were by passed, and a terrific waste resulted. “What we want to do now,” said one of the OPM men, worrying about strategic materials, to a little group, “is to get this collection of materials for reclamation on a profit : basis. We want somebody to handle j it in each community who knows | how to handle it, and we are per fectly willing for him to make a profit on it. ] "As far as we are concerned we are willing for him not only to make all expenses, but a good profit be sides. It is not the cost of strate gic materials that is important, this year or next year or maybe the year after that—-it is getting them. How to Do Newest Dance Steps «-■ I Diagram Explains Tango Steps.
