Bread Slicing Ban Reversed Yet Machines Go On
Our Daily Bread Sliced Thin argues the government reversal on bakeries slicing bread shows overreaction to a rushed order. The piece notes wrap machines and auto printers operate without direct human touch while waxed paper limits remain. It commends backing off unnecessary parts of the rule amid wartime hardship.

Compensation Law Covers Risks Only
Arkansas Supreme Court rules that the workmen’s compensation law does not require general accident insurance for employees. The decision, by Associate Justice Ben B. Carter, upholds the commission and circuit court in denying Birchett’s claim against TM Manufacturing Co. and Glabe Indemnity Co. for injuries from a Sept. 19, 1941, fight at the Little Rock plant. The ruling holds injuries from personal difficulty provoked by the employee are not employer liable. Justices Robins and McFaddin dissented. The case also touches custody in a divorce and an attorney fees ruling in a separate matter.

Pay As You Go Plan Approved Tentatively
The House Ways and Means Committee approved tentatively today the source collection feature of a pay as you go Income tax system including 20 percent withholding against the taxable portion of pay envelopes and salary checks. Chairman Doughton said the committee would vote later on the Ruml plan which proposes to skip a tax year as transition to a current collection system. The subcommittee endorsed pay as you go for 44,000,000 individual incomes while bypassing the Ruml issue. Two Republicans, Gearhart and McLevy, voted against, calling it indefinite and incomplete. The plan requires 1942 returns by March 15 and first installments by March 15 and June 15, with July 1 onward a full collection system Florida
