Sales Tax

In the Sir Walter Hotel.
RN LYNN \ISRtT

Raleigh. Jan. l7.-FoIks in this
climate and under our laws have to
wear clothes just as surely as they
have to eat, and the poor man is as
much entitled TO relief from the sales
tax on his family's wearing apparel
as upon their food. according 10 Re
preventative Hatch Of Wake.
Mr., Hatch this morning introduced
d bill in the house eXempting from
the sales tax any article Of wearing
apparel costing less than S25. 90. He
lists d few items such as mems suits,
WOmens dresses, coat. shoes. etc. and
then follows with 4 blanket eXemp-
ton for all other items falling below
his maximum price range of S25. 90.
Unlike the food exemption section
of the revenue act, this viii have
no administrative complications. The
purchase price will govern apple
ability OF the tax. In the food sec
ton, both as proposed by the budget
commission and in the Vogler ct ais
measures, all sorts of complications
may arise.
Also unlike the food exemption
bill which carried the names of 50
sponsors. this Hatch bill is a solo. Its
author says it is simply an effort
10 extend tax relief to a hitherto neg
lected phase Of living cost. The fel-
low who can buy fifty dollar suits
Tor himself and thousand dollar fur
coats for his wife or girl friend or
both ought to be willing to pay q
sales tax. according to Mr.. Hatch.
He isn't particularly optimistic
about his brain child's success in the
finance committee, but does expect
that it viii result in some cOnsidera-
ton tor the poor ma with Il large
family to clothe as we'll as feed.

pointed to plan the furnishing OF

Chosen as Trouble Shooter.
The President made the an
nouncement at his press conference
today, and was to have a luncheon
conference with Mr.. Hartman and
Harry L. Hopkins, who has been SUI
pervlslng the lease-lend program.
Mr.. Hopkins recently visited Mos
cow for discussion with Russian
officials on their wartime needs.
In his discussion of this new as
signment for Mr.. Hartman, the
President indicated today that he is
planning to use the former railroad
executlvely increasingly as a travel
ing trouble shooter. Several weeks
ago Mr.. Hartman journeyed from
London to the Near East for a quick
survey of British needs in the Medi-
terranean sector.
Increased opportunity for employ
ment of Mr.. Hartman in this ca
pacity will be afforded by the dis
patching Of John D. Biggers. retir-
ing chief of the production division
of the o. P. M. to London to ham
die lease-lend responsibilities there.

problems pertinent particularly to
British and American production.
In addition to seeing Mr.. Hopkins
and Mr.. Hartman. the President
also was scheduled today to confer
with Undersecretary of State Welles
before luncheon, and after luncheon
with Secretary of State Hull. It
was believed that both of these
consultations would deal with aid
plans and with the currently
delicate crisis in the Far East.
The decision of the American
republics to take joint steps to place
in operation all foreign vessels now
in ports in this hemisphere, an
nounced yesterday. probably will be
discussed with the President also.

President Suggests
WindowIess BUILDING
For War Structure
Quortermoster Depot
Site Still Hos Booking
Of Chief Executive

President Roosevelt told his press
conference today that the proposed
War Department Building will be
located somewhere south of Airing
ton Cemetery, probably on the So
called depot site, and that he is
studying a construction plan calling
for its erection in the form of
four sided, windowless structure,
artificially lighted and air condi-
toned.
The President said the idea Of a
solid building intrigued him because
of the great amount of money that
could be saved in construction and
because the outside dimensions of
such a building would be a great
deal smaller than those Of ordinary
Federal buildings here, while the
actual Office space would be as great.
He did not say just how big a
building he had in mind, pointing
out that he was advancing these
ideas as a sort of trial balloon.
The Chief Executive indicated
several days might elapse before he
reaches a final decision regarding
the buildings dimensions He said
he was going to make personal in
spection of the depot site as soon
as possible, without specifying the
day.
Idea From Far West.
The idea of a solid. artificially
lighted and heated building, he said,
came to him from the Far West. Sew
eral buildings of this nature have
been erected in that part of the
country at considerable saving in
money and have worked out very
we'll In practical use, he said.
The President said he had in mind
a building without wings or courts
Of any kind, to be lighted by the
huorescent method. This tube light
ing has worked out satisfactorily
wherever tried In other Federal
buildings here, he stated.

Two Murderers Executed
Side by Side in Chamber

SAN QUENTIN, Calf. Aug. 29.-
A strange young man, who resisted
every effort for clemency In his be-
half, was executed today at the side
of another convict for whom he had
formed an odd attachment.
The two, Eldon Hawk, 26. and
John Lininger, 40, died in the gas
chamber. The murderers asked
that they be buried side by side.
They first met in the death house.
After they were strapped in the
two chairs in the chamber the men
spoke to each other, but witnesses
could not hear them.
The heads of both fell almost
simultaneously. They were pro-
nounced dead in nine minutes.
The two we're convicted of sepa-
rate murders.
The widow of the San Diego me-
chanic whom Hawk murdered tried
in vain to have his sentence changed
to life Imprisonment. She said she
