WHENCE $500, 600, 900? - The re-
cord-breaking So, 500, 000, 900 revenue bill
for 1941 agreed on by the Administrator
and key Congressional leaders came as a
WALTON to most "~official circles" in Washing
ton, where a mere two billion had been men
toned as likely. Even so, Congressional re-
action was mild and capital feeling is bill
will be endorsed by both Congress and the
country. Best-informed guessing as to where
the money will come from has it that: Nor
NAL rate on individual income taxes upped
from A per cent to 5 or 6; elimination OF
learned income" credit; further lowering OF
the exemptions for dependents, especially on
the surtax end, and general increase OF surtax
rates. On corporation taxes, a raise from "a
to 80 per cent, other changes having the eff
feet of reducing credits, such as those for
invested capital, and earnings. Third source
would be excise taxes, with general increases,
and special increases on liquor, gasoline, to-
bacco, autos, radios and refrigerators, maybe
new taxes on soft drinks, other "luxurles.

minded nation in the world, if a program now
being launched achieves the success envisior-
ed by a committee of three well-known bust
nessmen-John A. Brown, president of So
cony-Vacuum Oil, Cornelius ". Whitney,
chairman of Pan American Always, and
Laurance S. Rockefeller. They've worked out
a plan to raise 500, 900 from business and
private individuals, to inaugurate a program
of aviation training in public schools, sponsor
ed by Air Youth of America, a national
group. Fully supported by federal govern
ment agencies controlling aviation, the plan
would include visits by leaders of the air
youth organization to every state capital to
enlist the supper of public offices. OF the
proposal, Whitney says "Only a huge plan
such as this can help make America strong
in the air and a leader in the aeronautical
sciences in the future. We are recommending
building and operation of model planes in
every ELEMENTARY school, and soaring instruc-

Women Favor Defense
But Oppose War,
Federation Told
Club Leader Stresses
Need for Preparation
For Useful Role

A poll of the 100000 members of
the General Federation of Women 8
Clubs would show them unanimously
for national defense, but over
whelmingly against war, Mrs. F.
H. ClauSen, American citizenship
| chairman, declared today.
One of several department chair
men reporting at the four-day
annual conference of the Federation
Board, Mrs. Clausen said women
/ have a definite part in preparations
| for defense. both individually and
as organizations. Each clubwoman,
she suggested, should fit herself for
a specific kind of usefulness which
she may offer if the time comes that
such service will be needed"
Her recommendations were made
after the directors yesterday heard
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt's opin-
ion on what a home defense pro-
gram should include. Miss Harriet
Elliot, consumer member of the
National Defense Advisory Com
mission, also discussed national de-
fense at last nights session at the
MayfioWer Hotel.
Mrs. Clausen pointed out that
mounting taxes to finance the de-
fense program would mean less
to spend on the needs of the home,
creating a necessity for women to
make intensive studies of home
management and consumer prob
lens.
Urges Patriotic Revival.
Mrs. Gustav Ketterer. the legisla-
tive chairman, declared legislation
pertaining to the investigation and
uncovering Of subversive and un-
American activities has been of
major concern to the Nations club
women. Support of the United
States Constitution and urging Of
a national patriotic revival are two
other objectives attuned to the
times, she said.
Mrs. Roosevelt, in an informal
talk at a White House tea yes
terday before more than 100
federation representatives expressed
the hope that the program under
consideration by the administration
would emerge eventually as very
flexible and simple" plan that could
be used to fit the needs of all COM
munities.
Emphasizing that the home de-
fense program is still in the forma-
tive stage, Mrs. Roosevelt suggested
that in addition to a voluntary
National Advisory Committee, it
should provide one paid director in
each State as well as a paid national
director.
Stressing also the voluntary ma
ture of the proposed effort, she said
1t was planned as a real community
program rather than a plan for
women alone.
If the home defense plan is

necessarily take the girls away from
home, she said.
On the basis of her own exper-
ience, she suggested that a program
for girls might well include six
months training as hospital aide
She knows of at least one place
where this would prove beneficial,
she said. For years." she explained,
II was the only person in my own
community who could take tempera-
lures"
Such training must be supple
mented by half years work In
domestic science, she added.
Mrs Sadie Orr Dunbar, fedora
ton president, presided at the con-
sumner forum last night.
Testimony of the success of the
Defense Commissions efforts to keep
living costs and conditions at an
even keel during the emergency is
the fact that the cost of living in
American cities increased only Is
per cent between August, 1889, and
November, 1910, Miss Elliott de-
clared. Costs considered included
rents and services, food, clothing
and housefurnishings, she explained.
Miss Elliott warned the women
against dropping out of worthwhile
community programs in search for
something new" and urged them
to build on what you have been
doing, but do it better"
The Defense Commission cannot
save America, she said, adding:
"If we come out of this emergency
with our way of life secure, it will
depend very much on the liberal
minded men and women of the
country"
