CHICAGO, Nav 9.-Business has
right to expect the same co-opera-

rearmament drive as Government
demands from industry, says De
Witt M. Emery, president of the
National Small Businessmen's As
/ Sociation.
In advancing this view before an

Akron, Ohio, man accused the
Justice Department of prosecuting
some companies under the Sherman
Antitrust Act
"The department" he declared
''has been prosecuting under the
1 Sherman Act many companies

Oil Men Say Boost

Small Income Groups
State and Federal Levy
Doubles Wholesale
Price, Hearing Told
By the Associated Press.


Representatives of the petroleum
industry, presenting arguments
against increasing the Federal gaso-
line tax cent a gallon. asserted to-
day that the burden of the present
impost falls upon the masses of
American people, including espe-
cially the very low income groups"
Their first spokesman before the
House Ways and Means Committee
Fayette B. Dow of Washington, made
no direct request that it reject a
Treasury proposal to boost the levy
from 11a to 2l2 cents.
He quoted arguments of others
against this type of tax, however
and said the average combined gas
oline levy, State and Federal, al
ready was SO cents. These levies
he said, yield sl,215,000,000 year.
Represents Three Groups.
A 1-cent increase, Mr.. Dow con-
tinued, would boost the average tax
to SO and would constitute SIS per
cent sales tax on every gallon of
gasoline.
Mr.. Dow said he appeared as rep
resentative of the American Pc
troleum Industries Committee, the
National Petroleum Association and
the Western Petroleum Refners
Association.
In opening his argument, Mr.. Dow
expressed belief that the American
people would bear very heavy
taxes" for "a very long period of
time and said he considered it
self deception to label taxes "emer-
gency" or defense" or Temporary.
Recalls 1898 Study.
Included in Mr.. DoW's statistical
presentation was a Commerce De-
partment study showing that SIT
per cent of the passenger vehicles in
1888 were owned by persons having
an income of $50 a week or less.
Saying that 200 skilled workers
were committing by motor daily
from New York to Bridgeport,
Conn, in connection with defense
production, Mr.. Dow calculated tnat
if they bought all their gasoline in
Connecticut, each worker who drove
his car would pay s135 in gasoline

ductive efforts of the entire Nation

u. ). Attaches Funds
OF Big German Firm
In Antitrust Case
!. 6. Furbenindustrie
Hit as $3.50, 900 Due 1t
On Licenses Falls Due
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Attorney General Jackson said to-
day the United States had attached
the funds of l. G. Farbenindustrie,
which he described as probably the
most powerful single factor in Ger
man influence on American indus
try" because of its failure to appear
in response to ar indictment under
the Sherman antitrust law.
Mr.. Jackson said at a press con-
ference that Farbenindustre had re-
fused to appear in court on the
ground it was not doing business in
the United States and was not sub
ject to American law as a corpora
ton.
The funds attached are in the
National City Bank of New York,
the Attorney General said. He ex-
planned that the action was taken
today because it was learned that
payments of about $250,000 to the
German company under licenses
issued to American corporations
were to be made today and that the
action was taken when we could
get it."
He Is certain, Mr.. Jackson said,
that the attachment would result in
appearance of counsel for Farbenin-
dustrie
Fears Export of Money.
In response to question as to
whether the department had reason
to believe that the money might be
sent out of the country, Mr.. Jackson
said that there was an indication
that il would be transferred out of
the country or disbursed," and that
once it had reached private hands
it could not be traced easily.
The attachment was not limited
to the particular payments to be
made today, the Attorney General
said, explaining that the legal move
was taken "on basis of aid to en-
forcement of the Antitrust Act"
He said that Farbenindustrie had
engaged in extensive licensing in
this country and that many Ameri-
can firms accepted licenses in order
to get the advantage of German
chemical inventions controlled by
the company. Many of these licenses
we're accepted prior to the present
international situation, he added.
Farbenindustrie was among six
corporations indicted January 80 by
Federal grand jury in New York
on charges of violating the anti
trust laws through control of the
magnesium industry. The other de-
PENDANTS included the Aluminium Co.
of America, the Dow Chemical Co.,
the American Magnesium Corp, the
Magnesium Development Co. and
the General Aniline e. Film Co.
