$500, 100000 Asked
For Maritime Commission
nv fba aAesoriat pYess

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt, in his budget
message to Congress today, asked a
5000 100000 appropriation for the
Maritime Commission. The estimate
was twice the amount appropriated
for the current fiscal year.
The increase, the President said.
was largely due to the expansion in
the commissions construction pro-
gram, the payment of additional
operating subsidies and the in
creased number of trainees under
the maritime training program.
Mr.. Roosevelt also asked an addi-
tional contract authorization OF
$50, ,OOO,0 "in order to permit the
commission to continue an orderly
construction program"
Included also was an estimate OF
$175,00O for the Maritime Labor
Board, which will expire under ex-
listing law June %, 1941. The esti-
mate was $4,000 less than the 1910
appropriation.
Estimates for the Bureau of Ma

planned that when trust funds were
excluded from consideration, these
not affecting actual financing, the
revenue estimates for 1941 approx
mate" those for this year. The mes
sage added:
1T will be observed that, under
the general revenue account, by far
the largest source of revenue for the
District is the tax on real estate,
estimated to yield s21 ,495 900 for
1941. This yield includes both cur
rent and back taxes, the levy being
based on an assessed valuation of
1929 100000 at SITS per hundred.
This valuation is an increase of $14,-
$4,000 over the estimated valuation
for 1910.
THE tax on tangible personal
property is estimated to yield ST.
$4,000, including delinquency pay
ments. This estimate is based on
an assessment of s86 ,000, 900 at SITS
per hundred. The assessment is
sl,OOO00 in excess of the estimated
assessment for 1910.
S1,200,000 From Income Tax.
ut will be noted that the in
tangible personal property tax is
now superseded by the tax on indi-
vidual and corporation net incomes.
The tax on individual incomes is
estimated at 81 200 900 while the tax
on corporate incomes is estimated
at $2,400000.
"Othor large items in the revenue
estimates of the District for 1941 are
the tax on public utilities, banks,
ETC.. amounting to s2,250,00O; per-
sonal-property tax on motor vehicles,
$4,000; inheritance and estate
taxes, $500,00O; penalties and inter-
est on taxes, $320,000; alcoholic
beverage taxes and license fees,
s2,175,000: miscellaneous revenue
items, $3,475,0OO; highway fund,
gasoline tax and motor vehicle fees,
$4,950,125, and water rates, ST.
526,OO0."
1t was noted that the Budget Bu-
reau estimates of revenues from the
personal and corporate income
levies totaled s3,6OO00O, which is
$500, 900 higher than the rough esti-
mate reported to congressional lead
ers last July 7 when Senate and

WASHINGTON, May 9.-R-A
minimum wage rate of Sc cents an

In it's report to Col. Philip B.
Fleming, wage-hour administrator,
the committee cited estimates that
the 36-cent rate for Class One rail-
roads and other employees in the
industry would mean hourly pay
rate increases for 10000 of the L.
OO5, 900 workers in this field.
The 33-cent rate for short-line
roads, the committee said, would
mean increases for an estimated s.
