Years ago he built little house for

RETROACTIVE MEASURE
By the United Press


Juls IL.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee is going after the ill-gotten wealth
sof the waf-contract profiteer in framing
nesse new $4,000. .OoO. 900 revenue bill.
A retroactive tax bill. which will
amount to virtual seizure of super-profits
resulting from fat Government contracts,
particularly as they touch cantonment
building and other cost plus" arrange
ments. has the almost unanimous back
ing of the committee. a poll of members
revealed today. aa
Several members made the additional
suggestion that as each individual case

The first step in the committees s
profteer hunt will be an INQUIRY With
six weeks in which to frame a bill. the

been offered the committee in its probe
That profiteering exists. sufficient to
( warrant such an inquiry. is shown by

trade commission report and Treasury
Department data. committee members
hold
This proof has been clinched by ad-
!; ditional data in the hands Of the House
committee. This includes the case of a
coal company which made 1000 per cent
and the case of an individual whose in
come jumped from s650O to 5000. 900 In
e. single year
The determination of the committee
to go the limit in taking war profits
is based on the belief that normal busi-
ness and the country at large should
not be asked to bear additional tax bur-
dens until the gains of few conscience
I less individuals and firms are turned
back into the Federal Treasury.
The committees course also means
that 1t has rejected the argument that
there must be large profits If .he
Treasury is to realize any considerable
amount of excess profits and income
taxes. This contention. coming largely
4. from financial centers. is to the effect
that the committee would even be justi-
y ned In encouraging heavy profits to open
broader fields of taxation.

FIFTY THREE YEARS
IN SHIPYARD SERVICE
Robert G.. Turner Is Still "On
the Job" as Harlan
Machinist

Ffty-three years IL a long time. Many
men. count that span of years a life
time. hut to Robert G. Turner 1t merely
represents his long. honorable service
with the Harlan plant at Wilmington,
Del. says the Harlan News
Add to this space Of service twenty
two years and you have Robert Turner's
age. And at the age OF seventy-fve.
when most men count their life run and
at which time many are care to their
kin. Robert G. Turner Is an able and
thoroughly competent employe Of the
Harlan machine shop, where he can be
found. clad in blue jumpers. at the
shaping machine in the tool room, per-
haps not with fingers as nimbe as they
once were. but surely with knowledge
that comes with years of application
and that shortens the task of his hands
to the very minimum.
And were the work -or-nght" edict to
be extended to reach the years of eight
cen to seventy-ive the authorities would
never have to even question Mr.. Tur-
ners timecard for the matter of con-
tinuous employment. for this young old
man is on the job every morning bright
and early and is one of the last to heed
the final snort Of the quitting whistle.
couple of years ago It occurred to
Robert Turner that perhaps fifty years
of toll was about enough. A man could
call that period of time spent in labor
as indicative that he was hardly of the
flighty. butterfly type of workman. and
that he included fair amount of con-
stancy in his makeup. Well. Mr.. Turner
on the advice of his younger kin did
knock off work For a while 1t was all
right and then he said he was the
lonesomest cuss in Wilmington. He
wasn't producing anything. He felt he
was an idler. Can you beat that?
So he dug UP the old blue jumpers tina t
he thought he had discarded forever and
black celluloid-peaked cap and came
back to Harlan and he has hardly miss
Cd day since. barring his vacation
periods, of course.
