The first OF the men whose num-
bers were drawn in this lottery will
probably not be called 10 qualify for
induction before September.
Although the Army is eager to get
the 21-yesr-olds, early induction of
the new men here is unlikely because
the July quotas already are filled and
physical examinations for August
quotas must be taken before the end
of the month.
The new men are TO be inserted
at proportionate intervals between
all the old registrants not inducted
or deferred by midnight June 30.
Since a number of the old registrants
will already have answered July and
August calls. the new men with low
sequence numbers will automatically
come TO the top of the list.
For that reason. selective service
officials expect to fill their Septem-
Der quotas mainly with new men.

be automatically eliminated.
Several weeks are expected to
elapse before the boards are ready
to classify the new men. Oficials
expect It will take a week to get
the master sequence list officially
checked, approved and printed.
After each local board is given a
master sequence list, all the names
above the top new mans serial num-
Der in the board must be crossed of.
Then the new men must be inte-
grated with the old registrants to

The possibility of heavy increases
In social security taxes, to help
head of imitation and to make more
millions available for defense
financing, was reported under in
formal discussion today by Treasury
and Social Security officials.
Some were declared to favor in
creasing the present l per cent tax
on employers and employees to 3 or
per cent. Raising the rates, they
said. was one way of draining off
extra money which people might
spend in ways that could cause in
f1atlon.
There was no indication of an
early decision on the proposal, how
ever.
The experts explain the potential
need for the increased levies in this
manner.
Because of the defense program
more people are earning more money
than ever before. At the same time,
defense orders and priorities on such
materials as aluminium are cutting
down the volume of consumer goods
which people can buy with their
money.
Some Favor British Plan.
The experts fear that people will
kIG noPh nthor fny tho avail
able merchandise, pushing prices up
to inflationary levels.
President Roosevelt is considering
. request to Congress for authority
to control prices and even rents, but
the experts believe that it may also
be necessary to impound some Of the
idle money.
Some of them have expressed
favor for the British plan of levy
ing special taxes and promising to
give them back after the war.
But others have suggested use of
the social security system, increas-
ing the taxes, increasing the pen
sions and also increasing the variety
of Jobs TO be included.
Revenue of Billion Possible.
They say that under the original
Social Security Act Of 1885, the old
age tax should have risen TO per
cent of pay rolls on both the en-
ployes and employers this year, and
next year to 3 per cent each. How
ever. last year Congress voted to
freeze the tax at l per cent each.
In the last fiscal year, which end
ed June 80. the tax brought in
$500 100000. With pay rolls expand
ing, a 3 per cent rate might bring
in over $4,000, 900 O,0OO-removing that
much purchasing power from the
public and at the same time help

SOL ALPEROVITZ

On Wednesday, September 3, 1941, while attending the Connecti- cut Federation of Labor Convention in Bridgeport Brother Sol Alpero- vitz was stricken and died within a few hours in a Bridgeport hospi- tai. I am sure that if Sol had been given advance warning of his death he would have had it happen just as it did. 'He died with his boots On,' working in the interest of the labor movement of our City, State and Nation.
 HARD TO REPLACE
 Everybody that knew Sol admired him. He was a tireless worker and was without doubt one of the hardest workers in the Labor movement i'll Connecticut. It will be very difficult if at all possible to replace Sol in our labor movement. It was my good for tune to have been associated with him in our Central Labor Council in New Haven for the past several years. Sol served as the Recording Secretary of our Central Labor Council for the past six years and he did a grand job. He kept fawless records, and had a way about him of reading communica- tions so that their contents did not seem dry and uninteresting. He was quick on the trigger and always had an answer ready for you in regard to any subject of controversy.
 He was an able parliamentarian and knew Roberts Rules of Order from cover to cover. His sense of humor was amazing and he would always use it whenever it was necessary to break the monotony of debate that might take on the aspect of being lengthy and tiresome.
 Sol was a student of the labor move ment and he could tell you the history of the labor movement in this country and abroad, naming leaders of labor, their background and everything they stood for.
