 INTO LARGE NEW
 HOME ON SIXTH ST.

pr. and Mrs. w. M Whitehead and their three children have moved into their new home on Sixth and Harris streets, and they are now gradually expanding into the threl floors and various rooms which take care of their every need. The new home will probably prove to be a place of continual joy to young Stewart, as he prowls through the dens and railways, and defies his mother to find him.
 The Whiteheads are still waiting for much of their furniture to be installed, but even without it the rooms are gracious and give prom ise of comfort. The three fireplaces on the main floor face into the living room, den and dining room, which is three steps above the level of the hallway. This floor also in- cludes a kitchen with every con- venience and guest bedroom Up- stairs are three bedrooms with ade- quate closet space for each, and a warm yellow painted bath.
 The lower floor contains double garage and a large playroom be- sides a laundry room, workshop, shower, and extra bedroom. All through the house are large closets, linen closets and storespaces.
 Leading from the den on the lower floor is a Sunroom lined with plants and large outside sundeck which sunny weather makes most attractive. Mrs. White head has large job ahead of her getting the house in running or der.

SENATE PASSES
 BILL FOR NEW
 TAX STRUCTURE
Revenue 10 Be Increased by 3O3 Million Dollars
 in Latest Measure

WASHINGTON, Sept. - The Senate today approved by a vote Of 43 to g a proposal to broaden the tax base about 303 million dol lars in new revenue by lowering the existing income exemptions from $500 to $750 for single persons.
 Latest Treasury estimates show that the change recommended by the Senate Finance Committee will bring 4,9l1000 persons into the income tax structure. Because of various deductions it is estimated that only 2,256000 persons will &C., tually pay taxes; however, the boost in tax groups all along the income range will make more of their income subject to taxation.
 The Senate action came after Senator Bob LaFollette contended that lowered exemptions will fur ther reduce low standards of living at the bottom of the tax groups.

No National Sabotage Ring Yet Discovered, FBI
 Man Says Here

The same appeal that the "Gana Busters radio program holds fo1 it's juvenile audience, held members of the Chamber of Commerce glued to the edge of their seats this noon as Ralph Vogel, Alaska chief of the FBI, told string of crime stories as a part of his address on the duties and work of the federal bureau.
 Although fires and explosions in industries engaged in defense work have been headlined in newspapers as the possible work of an or ganized gang of foreign saboteurs, in no instance have these occur rences been traced to a group of foreign agents" Vogel told the chamber members.
 There have been isolated cases of sabotage discovered in connection with industrial tragedies, he de- clared, but investigation of FBI agents have never been able to trace them to any national spy ring.
 Urged to Report
 On the other hand, Vogel urged Juneau residents to immediately re- port to the FBI office here any suspicious they have of planned sabotage, espionage or subversive activity in the community.
 Vogel traced the history of the FBI from its start. through the re- organization in 1924 which placed J. Edgar Hoover at the head of the bureau. He sprinkled his talk liberally with true crime stories from the records of the bureau.
 Vogel told how cartoonist had

In The Forefront
Two facts stand out.

Two 1dctS StdnQ out.
One is that war news" played
much less of part than for
merly. 1t seems fair to say that
the Balkan episode and the loss
of Greece by the Allies have
been fully discounted.
The other notable fact Is that
the market is now paying close
attention to domestic conditions,
and particularly to the prospec-
tive effects of taxation and other
governmental action upon the
earnings of corporations. This is
well illustrated by the list of
stocks that made new lows for
the year. which included tobac-
cos. utilities, stores and brew
cries.
The to bacco and brewing
stocks were affected by proposed
heavier excise taxes. The utili-
ties, including American Tele-
phone. suffer from threats OF
government interference. Ger
tain types Of stores are likely
to be hurt by various govern
ment actions in dealing with a

Healthy Increase

That the automotive industry
will not suffer too much by the

further substantiated by the
figures for the first eight months

According to Automotive Indus
tries, factories in the United

Barring unforeseen circum-
stances, the total model year

Accounts for Dizziness

Meanwhile. both groups have
largely adjusted their market
position in accordance with their
belief. This accounts for the
daily dullness in dealings. Nor
is heavy trading expected until
decisive news comes.
This writer regards many
stocks as selling on an attrac-
tive basis. measured by current
and prospective earnings. not
withstanding that far heavier
tax levies loom. At the same
time. it would be logical were
the market jolted If we be
dragged into hostilities.
Whether prompt recovery,
carrying quotations above cur
rent levels, would occur, is I'M
practicable. 1t must be viewed
as a possibility. If not a proba-
bility.
OF course. prudence counsels
conservatism at this stage. In
curing extreme risks on either
the upside or the down-side
could prove costly. The ticker
tape reveals that speculation is
sharply restricted.
The news will decide the mar
ket's next pronounced change.

Conveys Mean War

Ardent hopes for peace should
not blind one to the significance
of the latest portents. Two cabi-
net members last week, unques-
tionably with Pres dent
Roosevelt's approval, made war
like speeches.
President Roosevelt has de-
layed making his promised an
nouncement, doubtless in order
10 analyze the reaction of these
militant declarations. He has
parried taking a clear-cut stand
on conveying United States
ships TO the European war
waters: but every indication is
that he has made up his mind
10 do something to facilitate the
shipment of our war materials
safely across the Atlantic.
Were our navy to attempt to
protect transportation of war
goods all the way across the
ocean, it is a foregone conclu-
sion that incidents" would
erupt which would precipitate
us into the war. We should not
fool ourselves on this score.

Secretary Morgenthau. in adj
vocating two-thirds pay-as-
you-go policy for federal expend-
itures, creates a setting for the
launching next Thursday of the
treasury popular defense saving
campaign.
To the extent that the govern
ment follows Mr.. Morgenthaus
recommendations of increasing
the ratio of regular and emer-
gency expenses betrayed out OF
current revenues, the long term
credit behind federal obligations
will be protected.
AS counter-inflationary de-
vice, the proposed tax policy is
calculated TO relieve apprehen-
sion that the purchasing power
behind the dollar may be seri-
ously affected by extraordinarily
heavy governmental spending.
The new baby defense bonds
constitute a federal promise TO
deliver dollars in 10 years.
II is doubtless no accident
that the treasury has put forth
its tax views and philosophy be-
fore the opening of the popular
savings drive on May /.

One Objective

Mr. Morgenthau revealed to
the House ways and means COM
mittee that one of the detectives
of the proposed increase in taxes
by one-third was TO mobilize ma
tional resources for defense by
reducing the amount of money
the public can spend for COM
paratively less important things.
On the other hand. if the
treasury were to borrow the full
amount of the increased expend-
lures in ste a d of resorting
largely TO taxes. the government
as a buyer of war materials
would inevitably find civilians
competing 10 a greater extent to
get the same raw materials and
finished products. The net eff
feet of such conflict would be
TO raise prices both for consum-
ers and for the government,
thus increasing the cost of ma
tional defense and at the same
time stimulating inflationary
trends.

Bad War TidinQs
Discounted by
4. Wall Street
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor OF Economics. n. Y. Uni,er.it,
The stock market actually
rose a little last week. The aver
ages were higher by small frac-
tons of point. and a majority
of all stocks traded showed
slight gains.
The market for corporation
bonds did relatively we'll. re-
gaining most of the ground lost
three weeks ago-a favorable
symptom.
This showing came along with
great dullness. and as yet no
suggestion of any buoyancy has
appeared. 1t can again be said,
however. that the performance
is better than II seems at first
glance.
The general news remained
discouraging. and. if the market
had wanted to go down. plenty
of reasons could have been
found for a further decline.

came despite the fact that on
Monday or Tuesday the market
made new lows since last June.
In other words. in the face
of much unpleasant news, and
with many stocks making new
lows" the averages were able 10
turn around.
This performance not only
confirms the frequently indi-
Gated absence of any general
tendency toward liquidation. but
also suggests that the "techni-
cal position" Of the market is in
good shape. Indeed. there is
some reason to believe that bear
ishness has been overdone. and
that some of the little rally on
Wednesday and Thursday was
due to short covering.

produced from civilians to the
requirements of government.
Various influences, besides ris-
ing taxes. operate in this direc-
ton.
A rise in the cost of living, for
example. reduces the command
of citizens over the supply of
goods and services.
The sale of savings bonds to
the public induces citizens to
divert an increasing proportion
of their current income from
their own purchases TO the
needs of government. The treas
