Navy MA Author Testifies On Plan To Forgive 1942 Taxes
Beardsley Ruml testifies before the House Ways and Means Committee on a plan to forgive one year of 1942 income taxes for all earners. He argues taxes due in 1942 could be canceled while 1943 collections continue, shifting to a current-year assessment and paying 1943 taxes in 1943. The plan aims to prevent revenue loss and ease wartime tax burden, with details to be continued.

War Board Sets Feb Six Deadline For 1943 Orders
Washington Feb 4 An un publicized WPB decision to make February 6 the last day for placing war orders for the first six months of 1943 drew complaints and inquiries from industry. Charles Wilson, vice chairman in charge of production, announced to procurement agencies to require contractors to place by Feb 6 all orders involving over 30 critical components if June 30 delivery is required. The move, taken Jan 20 without public notice, widened tensions between Wilson and Ferdinand Eberstadt, who oversees material allocation.
