Nazis Finish Taking
Netherlands Gold
And Paying in Paper
Occupation Authorities
Soid TO Be Trying to
Re-estobIish Trade
BY LLOYD LEHRBAS,
Associated Press STAFF Writer,

German conquerors of the Neither
lands have requisitioned Dutch
mems gold from A to z, according
to authoritative reports received by
diplomatic quarters here.
Soon after Hollands occupation
last May. the German authorities
announced that all Dutch-own
gold must be sold to the German
controlled Netherlands bank. be-
ginning with citizens whose names
start with the letter A and continu-
ing in alphabetical sequence.
Persons in the z-listing now have
turned in their gold for Dutch paper
currency, it was reported.
German occupation authorities,
the reports stated, are trying to re-
establish trade relations between the
Netherlands and other German-oc-
cupied nations to make Holland
paying conquest.
Trade between Holland and Bel
GUM, which stopped entirely for
several months after the invasion,
was said to be recovering gradually,
and the Dutch were negotiating a
number of other trade agreements
within the NaZi economic sphere.
Holland exported twice as much
garden. produce to Germany in 1910
as it did in 1899.
While many foods are strictly ra-
toned. the Dutch were reported still
to have adequate supplies of canned
and dried fruits. But fresh fruit
was scarce. and shortages were an
ticipated in many major foodstuffs.
To systematic Hollands industrial
production and export trade a CEN
trail order bureau has been estab-
lished in conjunction with the Ger
man Chamber of Commerce in the
Netherlands.
The bureau is charged particular
~ with stimulating production of
goods needed in Germany, especial
ly war supplies 1t acts as distribu-
ton agent for all raw materials.
The trade and export measures
undertaken by the Germans are not
expected to have any effect on
American Netherlands commerce.

Oklahoma Endorses
Amendment 10 Outlaw
State Deficits
Disney Plans to Offer
Federal Program to End
Orgy Of Spending
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY. March H.
Oklahoma has Endorsed emphati-
cally a constitutional amendment
intended to outlaw State deficits
a plan which one Representative
proposes to apply to the Federal
Government.
Gov. Leon C. Phillips, debt-hating
conservative who marched into
Office two years ago pladging econ
omy for State saddled with debt,
saw his program approved in yes
terday's special election by two
to one vote.
Even before the results became
known, Representative Wesley Dis
ney, Democrat, of Oklahoma pre-
diCted Oklahoma's action would
touch off a Nation wide movement.
The Representative declared he
would introduce an amendment to
the Federal Constitution, modelled
after the Oklahoma plan.
For unless we head off this orgy
of spending" he said, this country
is headed for trouble that will ad-
versely affect every citizen"
Product of some of the States
best legal minds-both lay and
egislative-the amendment was re-
ferred to the people at time when
the State debt had mounted to
about S32,000,000 in 10 years.
1t provides that the Legislature
cannot appropriate in excess of
the average income for the three
previous fiscal years without first
levying new taxes to pay the bills
1t applies an automatic brake to
spending. Revenues will be appor-
toned monthly to each division
of Government. Warrants cannot
be issued for any department in
excess of actual cash on hand.
To prevent drastic reductions in
operating costs and salaries in
slack taXpaying periods, Gov.
Phillips proposes to freeze current
income taxes and make them
available at the first Of the new
fiscal year.

Treasury Explains State
Gasoline Tax Deductions
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury reminded income
taxpayers today that, although State
gasoline and sales taxes may be
deducted by consumers generally. in
some States the dealers or distribu-
tors get the credit in computing
Federal income tax.
1t all depends, officials said, on
whether the State law provides for
consumer or dealer responsibility
for the tax. Thus, in most States,
the oil companies actually hand over
gasoline tax money to the State, but
the taxes have been paid legally by
the consumers.
In about six States. however, the
State laws are worded so that the
dealer not only collects the tax but
legally also pays it, regardless of
whether he adds it on to his retail
price.
The Treasury said Federal COL
lectors in the different States could
advise inquirers about the local sit
uations.

tuberculosis Body's
New Head Expects
No Discussions
n. H. Lund Plans to Work
In Close Cooperation
With Other Agencies

Ignoring the charges and counter
charges that thrust the District
tuberculosis Association into the
limelight, Harold H. Lund, imported
as new broom" for the associa-
ton, indicated today that he
planned to work in close co-opera-
ton with all existing agencies in
tereSted in tuberculosis.
Il have seen nothing yet to in
dictate there will be anything to
prevent full cooperation, he de-
clared today in his first interview
since his appointment as executive
secretary of the association.
A veteran in public welfare work
Mr.. Lund fills the post left vacant
by the resignation of Mrs. Ernest
R. Grant as managing director
Amendment of the bylaws changed
the executives title.
AS he visualizes it on the basis of
weeks study, the new program
of the association will fit into the
weak points in the tuberculosis set
up of the city.
No Details Yet.
Details of his program await the
completion of his learning process. "
He did comment, however, on the
statement made by Dr. A. Barklie
Coulter. director of the Tubercu-
losis Bureau of the Health Depart
ment, in which DR.. Coulter told
the District Medical Society that
the associations Board of Direc-
tors has the ultimate decision in
all matters His statement was
interpreted as referring to the pos
sibility that the board could tie the
hands of the new executive.
Mr.. Lund pointed out that the
plenarv committee charged with re-
organizing the association was still
in operation and had full power
until it decides to return its powers
to the board. He pointed out fur
Their that any agency works in CO.
operation with its board of direc-
tors"
His Purposes.
Mr.. Lund showed no inclination
to discuss the criticisms leveled
against the association or to in
vite a fight"
He said only that Il have convic-
tons on what an agency of this
kind is for, and I intend to see that
it carries out its aims and obliga-
tions."
Any fighting that has to be done,
he said, should be limited to win
ming constructive program in
which all interested groups have
a part
Discussing the possible reorgan-
ization of his staff, he explained
that the program he had in mind
had to be flexible, and staff mem
bers. therefore. had to fit into a
varied number of jobs. At the
present time, he added, he is making
