WASHINGTON, May THE Red

Representatives of American

attack on the Administers

day with charges that the

Gus and deliberate economic
RECOMMENDATION of business"
Immediately after the commit.
tee had received a comprehensive
substitute plan providing for less
drastic corporate surplus tax, Noel
Sargent and James A. Emery of the
National Association of Manufac-
turerS vigorously attacked proposed
legislation to force corporations 20
pay out their earnings as dividends
or suffer heavy tax penalty.
Mr.. Emery contended that, with
state and social security levieS, the
manufacturers would eventually
have to pay taxes of 2412 to 80 per
cent of their net income even with
out proposed levies.
Held Regulatory Measure
"The measure is not merely a tax
proposal" Mr.. Sargent, economist
and secretary of the association,
said.
"It must be. considered a regula-
tory measure and as form of delib-
crate national economic planning.
1t is further step toward govern
ment regulation and RECOMMENDATION
of business"
Mr.. Sargent urged the commit
tee to scrap the proposed bill and
to consider creation of a special
committee of Congress, Treasury
experts, business and independent
tax economists to study the ma
tion'S tax structure.
Mr.. Emery, general counsel for
the association, contended the pro-
posed bill would complicate the
tax system further and emphasize
and exaggerate inequalities of the
present law. In addition, he ques-
toned whether it would provide
additional revenue.
Rex Tugwell Is Quoted
The combination attack of indus
trial representatives on the measure
came as the committee promised to
consider certain revisions in the bill
suggested to relieve inequalities and
unfair penalties.
These included the plight of small
packers under the law and the diff
culties of business trusts required oy
law or otherwise to retain specified
reserves.
The American Institute of Ac-
countants presented comprehensive
substitute suggestions.
The suggestions conformed in part
to certain objections which commit
tee members already had discussed.
Mr.. Sargent quoted DR.. Rexford
G. Tugwell as advocating control
of industrial expansion through
taxation of funds retained for re-
investment in industry.

RULING MAKES
TAX PAYABLE

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, June
3.-Property owners in Prin e
Georges county who sold land to
the Federal Government for the
Greenbelt resettlement project
near Berwyn Heights, Md, will
have to pay the county tax as
sessments on the property for the
last year, according to a ruling
made by the board of commits
sioners in Upper Marlboro yes
terday.
In making the ruling, the COM
missioners said the sale of the
land, which involves nearly $1,000
acres, to the Federal Government,
would deprive the county of con-
siderable revenue, since Federal
land Is not taxable. Any adjust
ment of the tax bills now would
necessitate drastic revision an d
pairing down of the budget.

The ArTny's secret plans for
mobilizing the nation for warfare
were revealed today as martial
law in the hands of the military
and the Presidency.
For months they have rested
quietly in the War Department,
but today the merciless and crit
ical glare Of publicity bathed
them as a result of the curiosity
Of Senator Bennett Clark CD
Of Missouri. They were care
fully dawn in the form Of legis-
lation, which would be sped to
Congress Immediately after any
action plunging the United States
into conflict.
II the action of times past were
repeated, under such circum-
stances, the legislation would be
swiftly jammed through an ex-
cited Congress to enactment.
Clark Studied Plan
IN order to prevent just this,
Senator Clark studied the plan,
embodied it in a series Of bills,
which attracted little attention at
the time, and subjected them to a
minute study on the part OF the
Senate Munitions Committee. To
day that committees report criti-
cizing the program as dictatorial
and dangerous" to a democracy,
called sharp attention to the war
plans.
Put into effect. these plans
would:
/. Mobilize industry by the
simple expedient of placing the
entire population under military
control. The War Department
would have power to cancel de-
ferment Of men not inducted
into the military force, make
them flight, work or starve."
2. Give the President power to
fix prices and wages, establish
priorities of manufacture and
distribution, to purchase and
sell any products, to requisition
any products, to license produc-
ton, sale and distribution, to
regulate speculation and profi'
teering and to suspend laws.

8. Provide a universal draft
for all males above 18 years Of
age, providing that all persons
registered shall remain subject
to induction into the public
armed forces Of the United
States, and placing under mill
tary law all persons who are
called during and also six
months after the emergency.
4. Authorize the President to
take over any personal or real
property and, dependent upon
payment of certain sums, do
what he pleases with it, includ-
ing selling.
S. Establish a marine war
risk insurance bureau to insure
American and friendly shipping
against war risks at reason
able" rates, regardless whether
private companies refuse to
handle such risks.
8. Create a three-man capital
issues committee named by the
President, empowered to pass on
issuance Of any and all private
securities, with the additional
power Of vetoing them if deemed
advisable.
