the Treasury Morgenthau when he
presented his tax program to Con-
gress. He did not explain, however,
whether he was referring to the re-
Gently enacted tax or to Mr.. Nor

gency.
Mr.. Eccles said he did not be-
lieve Congress could realistically
put high level floor under farm
prices and no ceiling"
The administrations bill would
permit establishment of ceilings over
farm prices as long as they were not
fixed below ITO per cent of the
parity price. Parity is a goal de-
signed to give farm commodities the
same relative purchasing power in
terms Of non-agricultural products
that they had between 1909 and 1914
Mr. Eccles said there might be
! justification for placing in effect
temporarily a 48-hour work week
instead Of the present 40-hour week
required of industries operating in
interstate commerce.
Nye Backs Profit Limit.
Meanwhile, qualified support for
Secretary Morgenthau's proposal to
limit corporate profits came from
Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota, one Of the most insistent
critics of the administrations for
eign policy.
Senator Nye, who headed the Sem
ate committee which investigated
profits IN the last war, told re-
porters that there will come a time
when 1t will take more than a 6
per cent limitation on corporation
profits to satisfy the people that the
tax load is fair"
But, the North Dakotan asserted,
any effort to take away defense
profits should be coupled with safe
guards providing some control over
wages and production costs"
I'VE have got TO undertake to con-
troll wages as well as industrial
profits" he said.
Firms Have Alternative.
Mr.. Morgenthau suggested that
the 6 per cent profit limitation be
applied on the basis of invested
capital for the duration of the emer-
gency. Corporations now have the
alternative Of computing taxable ex-
cess profits either on the basis Of
invested capital or on the basis of
average earnings for the years 1886
80, inclusive.
Senator Nye told reporters there
is only one way to limit war profits
or profits from the present pre-
paredness program-and that is by
taxation. 1t has been proven that
the profits taxes of the last war
did not achieve the desired result" I"
| He added that a sitter schedule of
excess profits taxes should be i'm
posed and added that the levies
should range up to 96 per cent "on
upper bracket corporation incomes"
Only such law, Senator Nye
declared. could prevent corpora
tions from finding some way to get
around limitation on corporate
profits"

Record u. 5. Output
OF Power Planned
To Surpass Axis
Commission ContempIotes
81 500, 900, 600 Outlay
Over five-Yeur Period
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Federal Power Commission
disclosed today that it had launched
what it intends to be the largest
electric power expansion ever un-
dertaken, with the announced OBJ
Jective of giving the United States
greater generating capacity than all
OF Germany, Italy and the Axis
occupied countries.
The projected expansion contem-
plates expenditure of more than
$1,000, 100000 in private and public
funds over q f1ve-year period. The
Reconstruction Finance Corp. has
made available s150OO0,000 to get
the program going.
A commission spokesman said the
plan was designed to guarantee that
the defeneS effort shall never en-
counter a shortage of kilowatts es-
sential to the production of alumni
mum and other vital materials.
Comparison Of Outputs.
He reported that commission eX-
perts had computed that the Axis
powers, excluding Japan, would have
electric capacity in their own and
in conquered countries capable of
generating 00,000000,000 kilowatt
hours in 1943, compared with total
output of 45,000000,000 kilowatt
hours in the United States last year
The commission program proposes
to raise the United States kilowatt
hour output in 1943 to $4,000, 600, 900.
This plan" the power agency said,
preparing for defense expenditures
which. by 1943, will be running at
$4,000 100000 per month"
In preparation for year and a
half, the commissions unprecedented
power expansion program was sub
mitted to President Roosevelt July
16. Since that time it had not been
mentioned in Government press
releases. But informed quarters ac-
cepted the earmarking of S150,000 900
by R. F. C. for Power Commission
purposes as an indication the ad-
ministration had hung out green
light for the first phase of the pro-
gram to get under way.
Full Capacity Planned.
The commission spokesman said
the r. F. c. money would be used to
keep equipment companies produc-
ing generator units at full capacity.
Orders by private companies will be
financed on a self -liquidating basis.
AS presented to- the President. the
program proposed to add 1888 900
kilowatts to the Nations generating
capacity. The present installed
capacity is 42,689,2 kilowatts. In
addition to the projected 1888 900.
there are now on order 7.7o9 .3l5
kllowatts of new capacity. Thus. if
the defense power expansion was
carried through on schedule the
Nations installed capacity in ls4e
would total almost 64,5OO,OOO kilo.

that robbery was the motive for the
crime.
Search for the slayers was spurred
by the posting Of 81 1000 reward by
the club for information that would
lead to their capture and convic-
ton.
Earlier Detective Capt. Joe Harri-
gan said police were "stunped" in
their effort to trap the slayers.
Capt. Harrigan called the crime
lone of the most sensational murder
cases" on record in the Bluegress,
while Investigation Supt. Guy w.
Maupin termed the tragedy "a plain
case of robbery" possibly committed
by amateur bandits.
The Philadelphia born Miss Miley
was shot through the head and
chest, and her mother was hit three
times in the abdomen, after being
reused early yesterday by the rob-
bers.
Mrs. Miley stumbled through the
darkened white-columned building
to sanatorium 300 yards away
where police were called.
Patrolman John Doyle, first to
reach Mrs. Miley's side, said she told
him she was awakened by the efforts
of two men to break down her apart
ment door
Mr. Doyle recounted that Mrs.
Miley told him the men asked her
where the receipts from Saturday
nights dance were located. She
told them, Whereupon one of the
men struck her in the head with a
window weight, knocking her down,
and then fired three shots into her
body.
Miss Miley rushed from her room
to lend aid to her mother, Mr.. Doyle
reported, and was shot down. Her
pajama clad body was found in the
hallway.
Familiar With Building.
Capt. Harrigan theorized that the
shooting and robbery may have been
committed by persons familiar with
the set-up at the swanky building
and grounds. He said the electric
switches had been turned off and
the telephone lines disserviced.
The only clues available, Capt.
Harrigan said, were two buttons
from mans coat, three slugs from
a 80 caliber automatic and several
flngerprints on the wall near the
Miley apartment.
