Administration Leaders Are Cautious in Preparing Measures-Many Con-
 m0dities Taxable
Washington. September 6.-Interest in war revenue legislation oyershadows

Washington, September 6.-Interest in war revenue Legislation oyershadows everything else in Congress.
 Administration leaders are moving cautiously. eager to submit within few days a measure to assure s100, ,000 GOO in additional revenue and also to avoid po- litical pitfalls. Democratic members of the ways and means committee have agreed that s75.00o000 can be procured through increased levies on beer, malt liquors, domestic wines. proprietary preparations, soft drinks, and commodi- ties. In many other sources of internal revenue. however. leaders find themselves confronted either with economic or po-' litical objections. The committee will resume deliberations Tuesday and en- deavor to find s25. .000,000 In revenues. Au- tomobies, amusement tickets, moving picture films, magazines and periodical publications. crculations, railroad trans portation, whisky and other distilled liquors. inheritances, incomes tobacco and nnany other sources have been sug-i gested. ..s
 Distilled liquors and tobacco are caus- ing concern. Tobacco already is heavily burdened and some of the ways and means democrats insist that it will not be further considered.
 Distilled liquors may be taxed slightly. though there Is great opposition to this also. In any event, some party leaders assert, whisky will not be taxed more than 15 cents gallon. There is strong support in the committee for an in- creased income tax.
