opposition.
John L. Sullivan. assistant Treas

the Treasury, in discarding the sales
levy. was actuated not merely by q
knowledge that such a tax would

that it would initiate against the

Mr. Sullivan also asserted that the
Treasury had considered, then aban-
doned, a general pay roll tax. Such

Henderson Suggests
Ceiling on Prices Of
Copper and Brass
Worms Freezing Order
Will Be Issued Should
Cooperation Fail

Maximum prices on copper and
on brass ingot were "suggested'
today by Leon Henderson, defense
price control administrator, in a
statement emphasizing that if the
proposed ceilings are not complied
with a formal price freezing order
will be issued.
Mr.. Henders1ns recommended top
prices are u cents. pound for most
copper and 13 cents a pound for
brass ingot These metals are used
In making shell and cartridge
castings, transmission lines and parts
OF mechanical apparatus.
The major portion of the copper
industry has maintained a stable
price of u cents, but an unWar-
ranted disparity of sales prices on
the part Of a minority has resulted
IN giving the copper market an un-
stable condition. Mr.. Henderson said
"At meetings recently held in
Washington" 3" Mr.. Henderson said.
members Of the copper and brass
industries expressed the opinion
that the situation is not out of hand
TO such an extent as to REQUIRE
formal ceiling prices. They urged
that an attempt be made to correct
the situation through cooperation
OF the industries with the Govern
ment, The Office of Price Admins
tratlon and Civilian Supply (headed
by Mr.. Henderson, is eager that
producers have the opportunity by
their individual action to stabilize
the market
Mr.. Henderson cautioned, how
ever, that if individual producers are
unable to carry out the suggested
price maXimumS the Government
Will be forced to take other steps to
maintain price stability.
A similar suggested" maximum
price has been made in the farm
equipment industry, while ceiling
prices actually have been fixed on
aluminium, second hand machine
tools, soft coal, steel, zinc scrap and
iron and steel scrap.
Earlier, defense authorities an
nounced that steps are being taken
to conserve the Nations supply of
cork, the sources of which have been
curtalled by war in the Mediter-
ranean.
Cork insulation manufacturers
have assured the Office of Produc-
tlon Management. it was said. that
they will cooperate in reduction of
the amounts of cork board used for
roof insulation. Cork-vital for
gasketS and washers in airplanes,
tanks and other defense mechan-
lSms-has been obtained from Spain.
Portugal and North Africa. but Ship
mentS from the latter area have
been cut off.
In radio address last night, Mr..
Henderson declared that the Govern
ment is pursuing a three-point pro-
gram to prevent nfation-increas-
ing supply, instituting some price
controls and curtailing consumer
purchasing power by higher taxes
and sale of bonds. The basic ap-
proach to price stability, he said, will
be to increase the supply of goods"

the Greeks will continue fighting"
About 100000 Greeks, he said,

Members of Congress appeared to
be in general agreement with Treas
ury officials today on the need for
raising s3.500,000,000 in new taxes,
but dlssension cropped up over spe-
cif1c methods of obtaining the vast
sum.
The questioning of Secretary Nor
genthau by both Republican and
Democratic members of the House
Ways and Means Committee yester-
day ended with no indication of any
reduction of the revenue goal. Sew
eral representatives, however, took
spirited exception to projected de-
tails of the program.
Representative Crowther, Repub-
lican, protested that a Treasury sug-
gestion for applying surtaxes to
every dollar of taxable income was
burning down the barn to kill the
rats" Such a drastic levy. he OBJ
jected, might affect the purchasing
power.
Lack of Imagination" Charged.
Another committeeman. Repre-
sentative KnutSon, Republican, of
Minnesota, declared in a statement
that there was "a lack of imagina-
ton in the Treasury program for
raising the money through higher
and more extensive individual in
come taxes, boosted corporation
levies, new and increased excise
taxes and sitter charges against
estates.
1.-The Government is following the
old formula of merely increasing
existing taxes which in some in
stances are already too high" he
said.
Representative Cooley, Democrat
of North Carolina, whose district
lies in the tobacco belt, protested
that a proposed higher tax or
cigarettes was "unjustif1ed." Mr.
Cooley-not a member of the COM
mittee-expressed apprehension thai
stiffening of the rate might reduce
cigarette consumption and thereby
both hurt the grower and diminish
tax collections.
The present cigarette rate of 6l2
cents per package of 20 brings in
about s500,0O0,000 a year. The
Treasury suggested an Scent tax.
Excise Taxes Hit.
Other Representatives took excep-
ton to a broad system of new excise
levies said to have been proposed by
the staff of the Joint Congressional
Committee on Taxation.
This list has not yet been made
public. but one Ways and Means
committeeman, who asked that his

purchasing commission is in the

every pound of armament that can
be bought, without seriously en-
barassing the more urgent needs OF
Hollands ally, Britain. Twelve
young American pilots have recently
arrived at the Sourabaya naval
base to assist in the training OF
Dutch flyers.
Money to Pay for Planes.
What irks the Dutch is that they
have the money TO pay for airplanes
and armament if they could get
them. Their difficulties are due. In
some degree, to their own short
Sightedness. In prewar days
against the advice of some Of its
own experts. the Netherlands Indies
Navy bought German instead OF
American aviation equipment. Ger
man DornierS and Dutch Fokkers
are still the core of the naval all
force The proportion of modern
American craft is. however, in
creasing. The Dutch proclivity for
haggling over price is also the
despair of American aircraft dealers
This has occasionally been re-
sponsible for expensive delays sno
lost opportunities.
Besides airplanes. the Netherlands
Indies are buying from the United
States all the munitions and heavy
armament that can be made avail
able. They require steel and Other
growing munitions industry. The
supply is still far short of require
ments. This stuff of war is being
brought in ships which return to the
United States loaded with rubber
and tin. A few of the planes are
being flown in via Australia, a route
which will become immensely i'm
