at the front. It Is understood that
The living standard Of the average,
nedium-paid workman was to be
aiken as norm. on that basis,
clothes already are being rationed
with the average workers five year
needs In mind.
Money Is needed badly to pay the
war costs, estimated by some Nazis
1t 100000 q day. Millions daily
are still being spent on extensions
to the west wall which Hitler was
quoted In the British white book as
having estimated as costing $4,000
100000.
Increased taxes on luxuries-li-
quor, tobacco, and theater tickets
are expected next. Industrial,
wholesale and financial enterprises
are expected to be called upon for
more taxes soon. Those producing
Strength through Joy" products
would be exempt.
Taxes as high as 30 per cent are
considered for "uneariied income"
Nich as that for attending directors
meetings. Construction Of expensive
villas, II permitted at all will prob
ably be taxed heavily.
Within the next few days O sys-
tenn called compulsory saving" by
some, and induced saving" by 9TH

sons earning more than $50
month will be required, or "ericour.
aged" under that system TO put all
above that amount into special
bank accounts available for state
financing.
The Frankfurter Zeitung said
that to encourage such saving there
will be tax exemptions or special
favors for the saver after the war

housing"
The National Zeitung, comments
Ing on. the new economic council,
said "by unifying the conduct OF

many determinedly increases her
lead over the Allies who are still In
the throes Of adjustment. This
advantage is Of decisive Importance

new FACES ON
FINANCE BOARD

win make him board member, the
board will then be composed Of nve
Democrats and four Republicans.
Under the charter revision, I could
appoint all members Of one party"
1.-THE fact that present members
Of the finance board were not re-
appointed Is M reflection on them"
said the mayor. II didn't feel that
/ should choose some and not others.
There may be occasions In the fI-
ture when we shall seek the advice
and cooperation Of the former mem
bers."
Right Type q Men
u feel sure the men on the new
board are the type who realize the
responsibilities and know the Inn
portance Of the board Of finance.
From my talks with them and from
my knowledge Of their splendid rec
ords, / know that they Will be WILL
ing to do their part for the city;s
good. A glance at the names Of the
Republican members will show that
they are not men whose minds can
be changed easily"
The men appointed by Mr.. ecully
are all well-known citizens. Mr..
Egan, close PERSONAL associate Of
the mayor, was elected to the state
senate in 1888, and has been prom
inent in Democratic affairs. Mr..
Camp played q prominent part In
the activities Of the Citizens Good
Government association, sponsor Of
the city manager charter. Mr.. Coe
has not been active in politics, but
Is one Of the citys leading business
men.
BrOphy Mentioned
Mr.. Brophy, who Is an account
ant, was mentioned as q Democratic
candidate for controller last fall. but
did not seek the nomination. Mr..
Dubois Is q veteran Republican
leader and has considerable exper-
fence In city affairs.
Since the Budget Director Is In
directly appointed by the mayor to
the Finance Board, since the chief
executive recommends his appoint
nents, the appointive posts on the
board give the Republicans four
to two margin.
In regard to Mr.. Dubois appoint
ment, Mr.. Scully said he felt It only
fair to appoint q minority represent
alive from that board since the
president, q Democrat, is automat-
ically given place.
Appointment Predicted
The appointment Of MIR. Brophy
to the board had been predicted
definitely. Senator Egan, 1t was
known, would be appointed either to
the Finance Board or the Board Of
Works. His appointment to the FL
nance Board means that he will not
be reappointed to the Board OF
Health, on which he has served for
the past several years.
Other board appointments are ex.
pected from the mayor within the
next few days. The. Culhane charter
revision provides that the appointive
Finance Board places cannot be
filled until after the second Monday
Of January, and the appointments
announced today will be made ON
cially next Tuesday morning.
Each appointive member of the
board will receive q yearly salary Of
$500.
