Chain Tax TO
Bring Losses
Potmon Bill Soid
To Injure Public

WASHINGTON - The Patman
death sentence" chain store tax
bill, on which hearings are now
being held by subcommittee OF
the House ways and means com.
mittee. could be reduced 90 per
cent and attn completely destroy
safeway stores. along with many
other chains.
This was shown today in q brief
filed by safewsy in opposition to
the bill, which provides for q fed
eral chain store tax up to 81. 900
year per store. multiplied by the
number of states in which the COM
pany does business.
The tax on safeway would be
s5e. 900. 900 q year. or nine times
the total net profit made by the
company in the most prosperous
year OF its history. Even IL cut
in half. as Patman has offered a.
a compromise" to push his bill
through congress. II would atill
assess safewsy four and q half
times all net income made by the
company in its best year.
Would Destroy Concern
obviously, the enactment OF
II. r. /, either In its present form
or in greatly modified FORM" Safe
ways brief declares, would pro-
duce no revenue from safeway at
all. because 1t would destroy the
company. In achieving that result,
which In Congressman Patmsn's
avowed purpose, 1t would at the
same time destroy millions Of dol
lars In tax revenues which Safe
way now pays toward the costa Of
government.
As . specific illustration. Safe
way hast year paid s5.216,373 in
local. state and federal taxes, not
including real estate taxes repre-
scented In total rentals of sac, $751;
sic. All this present revenue re-
allied by the government would be
ended by H. r l."
The safeway brief summarizes
other effects as follows:
1890 Employed
"Safeway employs some 1880
men and women. These would be
thrown out Of jobs, and $685.
404 400 payroll abolished.
"Safeway last year owned or
rented 1854 retail store buildings
in the United States; those stores,
representing over 100000 in
rental value, would be vacated.
"safeway, by efficient operation
and small profit per dollar Of sales
(12 per cent average over the past
five years., Is estimated to have
saved its customers over s25,000.-
600 last year. This saving. and the
effect that such economy price,
policies have on price levels gen.
orally, would be wiped out by
H. r. l."

All Bases
May BeUsed
Sites Acquired in De-
stroyer Trade May Be
Put Into Use Inlmedi-
ately.

Washington, Sept. 4-(AP)-Naval
authorities said today that every one
OF the bases acquired from Britain
in the destroyer trade could be put
into use Immediately by United
States naval and air forces as soon
;is experts agree on the exact limits
of base sites.
At the same time, one officer
pointed out that once American oc-
cupaton begins, the British may not
consider il necessary to maintain
protective naval forces in the area
at present strength.
Any Navy use Of the new bases
must wait until an agreement IS
reached on the location limits, but
the intimation was that at least a
limited use would begin at the ear
Hest moment. Destroyers of the neu-
trslity patrol may be moved in or
regular patrol flights of planes start
ed.
Officers discussing the availability
of the bases said that every one had
a harbor that could be used-at least
ny destroyers and cruisers.

Washington, Sept. 4. - (AP) -
House foes Of the pending conscrip-

coded that it was forlorn hope in

agreed that the destroyer transfer,
coming in the face Of strong Con-
gressional opposition, had cost the
bill votes, but said the OBJECTIONS

that the effect might be to increase
