House braces to settle tax questions after spring recess
Congress aims to resolve the disputed 1942 tax forgiveness and withholding plan in days. The Ways and Means committee backs a 20 percent withholding and partial 1942 debt cancellation, while Republicans push the Rum! plan for full forgiveness and 1943 tax payout. Labor unrest and wage debates, led by John L. Lewis, loom as a key factor shaping any final federal stance.

Dorchester Poultrymen urged to set new egg goal
Dorchester County poultrymen are urged to produce about 1,002,000 dozen eggs this year as their Food for Victory share, a 3.7 percent rise over 1942. Leon Todd of NEPPCO says farmers can reach the goal with adequate labor and feed, citing 966,000 dozen produced locally last year and favorable pricing and pullet-hatch conditions. Labor shortages and protein feed limits remain major challenges.
