German war view from a jailed correspondent Hugo Speck
International News Service reporter Hugo Speck, after five months as a detainee in Germany, describes German morale as high and his belief that the war can end only with the destruction of Nazism. He argues the German people fight for country and family, criticizes American sugar worries, and notes Feldkuche diet and harsh conditions in Bad Nauheim. Speck predicts a long war unless Hitler loses in Russia.

Pay as You Go Tax Plan Aims at Withholding Changes
Randolph Paul, secretary of the treasury, said exemptions for domestics, farm labor and other groups would be excluded from a pay-as-you-go plan for income tax collections approved by the Ways and Means Committee. The plan calls for payroll deductions equal to 30 percent of the difference between income and exemptions with credits starting January as the committee nears final passage of a $0.64 billion tax bill. Paul opposed limits on estates to 25 000 and a tax on individual bank accounts, while the committee rejected a 2 cent tax on bank checks.
