Sales Levy To Balance Budget
Also Includes Other Features
To Raise Revenue.
DESIGNED TO END DEFICIT
Author Declares Sales Tax Is
Certain To Bring Between 80
And so Million Annually.
BY THOMAS b. MALARKEY
United Press Staff Correspondent


SACRAMENTO April IA. U.P) =
The Feigenbaum plan, a proposal
to solve the states financial prob
lens by enacting graduated sales
tax, was before the assembly today.
Assemblyman B. j. Feigenbaum,
San Francisco, dissatisfied with the
Riley-Stewart plan of extricating
the state from its financial trou-
bles, introduced a comprehensive
sales tax bill as an alternative.
The program includes not only the
sales tax, but repeal of amendment
number one, increased inheritance
and bank taxes and consumer tax
on electricity and gas.
On the sales tax alone, Feigen-
baum estimates the annual revenue
will be between $S0,000,O0O and $685.
100000.
The tax scale slides upward from
a one cent tax on sales between
10 and Is cents to six cents on
transactions over So. Thereafter
there would be a two cent additional
tax for each additional dollar.
Thus the assembly, has two pro-
jected solutions to the problem of
how to balance the budget by wip-
ing out the anticipated $40 900, 900
deficit for the forthcoming bien-
MUM:
/. The sales tax and supporting
revenue measures. .t-- H.
2. The gross receipts of transac-
tions tax is incorporated in the
Riley-Stewart plan.
The senate was expected to act
favorably today on the urgency
bill providing a 60-day tax mora
torium on real property taxes. This
measure, extending the delinquency
date from April 20 to June 20, has
been passed by the assembly and
was on the senate calendar today
1t will, if passed, become effective
when the governor affixes his sig-
nature.
Also before the senate was the IN
man homecoming" bill-a measure
which provides state departmental
and division offices scattered
throughout the state would be re-
turned to the capital. The state
harbor commission, pilot commits
sion. natinoal commission and Cali
fornia toll bridge authority would
be exempt from the homecoming.

DEADLOCK ON
WAGE DISPUTE

HOLLYWOOD, April IA. W.n)-
The battle between Warner Broth
First National Studios and en-
ployees over a return to full wages
continued In a deadlock today.
Legal action on the part or en-
ployees appeared likely with Warner
Brothers persistent refusal to ad-
here to a resolution passed by the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences demanding the studio
pay full compensation to officials
and employees back to March 6.
Last night the Fox Film corpor-
alton announced resumption of full
wages beginning April IA leaving
Universal the only company which
has not announced such plans.
An audit Of Universals books
was in progress by the emergency
committee of the Academy today to
determine when return to full
wage scale should be made.
Members of the academy commit
tee said that employees of Warner
Brothers have full recourse to the
courts to collect their salaries.
They based their contention on the
grounds that the academy's edict
was sanctioned by formal agree
meme enacted during the national
emergency for an eight-week per-
iod.

VOTE To CALL
FARM STRIKE

MARSIIFIELD, Wis, April ID.
U.P)-The Wisconsin unit of the
Farmers Holiday association today
threw its full support behind pro-
posed national farm strike to begin
May 13. n-.=s
Albert Gilberts. reelected presi-
dent of the Wisconsin unit, who an
nounced a unanimous vote of di-
rectors in favor of the strike, said
he hoped it would be $50 terrible
that it will darken the sky and go
down as the greatest tragedy in
history"
Directors of the Wisconsin group,
representing 100000 members of
the state organization, voted in
favor of the strike resolution. Their
action is dependent upon whatever
decision is reached at national
convention of the Holiday asocia-
tion in Des Moines, Iowa, May 3.
A clause of the resolution pro-
vided that if the states of Indiana
and Ohio join in milk strikes, the
wisconsin group Immediately will
call a similar strike.
If the milk strike is called, hos
pitals and similar organizations
will be offered free milk if they go
to farms for it.
Directors said they anticipated
the national strike would be called
unless congress before May 13 pro-
vides farm mortgage refinancing,
remonetizes silver, pays the soldiers
bonus and enacts cost production
bill.
Gilberts, who said % states were
ready to strike on an instant's no
tice, predicted widespread suffering
if the strike is called.

WASHINGTON, April ID. U.Rj-
Beer trucks rolled up to the United

time in 80 years.
They trundled 80 beer into the

pared to assuage congressional
throats with all popular brands
at popular prices"
Sale of the brew was delayed
several days while the sub-commit-
tee on accounts pondered the legal
stumbler of whether the govern
ment could tax itself. When the
committee decided finally that the
government need not pay a $100
license fee for the restaurant, the
