The orientation period has been shortened in keeping with the speeded up academic pro- gram of the University. Tax Exemption for Servicemen Sought WASHINOTON, Jan. 13.- ()- Rep. Woodruff (Rep.-Mich.) today proposed that all soldiers, sailors and marines be exempted from income tax liabilities on pay they receive in the armed services. When the House Ways and Means Committee (of which Woodruff is a member) opens consideration of the new tax bill, the Michigan representa- tive said he would press for this prin- ciple. Woodruff said, however, that he f ' (Oftion only on a service- man's pay and not on any income he may have from investments and other source, If the committee doesn't exempt servicemen's pay, Woodruff told newspapermen, he would seek to re- vise present tax laws so that the wife of a serviceman wouldn't be held re- sponsible for any income tax liability for a deceased husband.

Ferguson Tackles State Labor Question 'Judge' Seeks Remedy for Michigan Paradox, Appeals to President WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.--()-Al- though the war is his first interest,' one of the initial domestic problems Senator Homer Ferguson (R.-Mich.) is tackling in Washington pertains to his own state, particularly to the Upper Peninsula. The former Detroit jurist, who is still "Judge" to his friends, and says that as it makes him feel at home he doesn't care if it sticks, is finding in his new job in Congress something of the atmosphere of the courts. In fact, he has been named to the Ju- diciary Committee, customarily made up of lawyers. Labor Shortage Complaints As the result of the discontinuance of the WPA, a paradoxical develop- ment has been discovered by the Senator in Northern Michigan. He gets scores of letters deploring the plight of idle WPA workers and other scores complaining about a labor shortage. Senator Ferguson asks, why can't local governments and organizations find jobs for unskilled workers, many of whom are qualified to do farm work? He believes that many former. WPA workers could earn a living Somewhere in the war effort. He said he has received appeals from the Upper Peninsulafor action to help former WPA workers, and he has referred the matter to the Presi- dent. He doubts, however, that the program would be changed. Farm Work Possible "I wonder," the Snator said, "if it would not be possible for many of these men to find work on the farms of Northern Michigan, as I am get- ting letters from the state 'deploring the shortage of farm labor. Such. a result could probably be :brought about through the various farm or- ganizations 'in Michigan."= Ferguson doesn't believe. domestic questions can be forgotten,. and, he reasons that most of them- are con- nected directly with the war. He recognizes a current -need for broad governmental powers,' but on the other hand, he suggests that even in war it is possible for '.the people to depend more on their own resources. Student Concert Tuesday to.Offer Brass Ensembles The brasses will get their chance to show their "stuff" at the student con- cert to be held at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.

In Stage Door' LANSING, Jan. 13.- (P)- On the basis of testimony presented to a joint House-Senate Committee hear- ing today, the law-makers must de- cide whether a plan to turn Michigan clocks backward one hour will harm munitions production more than it will aid farm production. That was the issue presented at a hearing on the most controversial is- sue now before the legislature. Committee Awaits Evidence The committee recessed until Mon- day at 4 p.m. to allow Detroit city officials to present more evidence, but Councilman Henry S. Sweeney intimated he could see the law-mak- ers already had made up their minds to effect the change. Peter Revelt, representative of the regional office of the War Production Board, asserted a return to slower time would hamper war production by dislocating "fine coordination" of control between the southeastern Michigan war production "arsenal" and eastern industrial and govern- mental centers. Revelt declared munitions produc- tion in Detroit, Pontiac and Flint now is geared so minutely to the orders of officials in Washington and with steel production in Pittsburgh, Youngstown and Canton that any dislocation will have bad effects on production. He said it has taken a year to achieve that coordination. Cooperation Needed "The government has asked the De- troit industrial area to increase its manufacture of munitions from $7,- 000,000,000 last year to $14,000,000,000 this year-one sixth of, the national production, and that will require the utmost of fine cooperation with the East," Revelt asserted. He said the WPB appreciated the dislocations War Time caused on farms but believed the Michigan in- dustrial production was so much greater in proportion to its food pro- duction that it should be given pri- ority. Vice-Governor' Job Proposed LANSING, Jan. 13.-()-The first administration bill was submitted to- day for introduction in the House of Representatives, a measure creating the office of business administration, which already has been dubbed "vice- governor." Rep. Maurice E. Post, Republican, Rockford, was chosen to introduce the measure for Governor Kelly, who mentioned his desire for creation of such a position in his message to the legislature. Rep. George N. Higgins, Ferndale Republican, moved meanwhile to launch an effort to strip the Dem- ocratic-controlled State Highway Department of its constitutional control of weight and gasoline tax revenues. He introduced a joint resolution proposing that by con- stitutional amendment, the legisla- ture be placed in control of all but a fixed portion of highway reve- nues which would be earmarked for road maintenance and improve- ment, and be given authority to allocate portions of the gas and weight tax revenues to a sinking fund to pay a soldiers bonus to men now in the armed forces.
