Social Security Tax
Jump is Contemplated

Some were declared 10 laVOr
increasing the present ! per cent
tax on employers and employees
to 8 or per cent. Raising the
rates, they said, was one way of
draining off extra money which
people might spend in ways that
could cause initiation.
There was no indication of
an early decision on the propos-
al, however.
POTENTIAL NEED
The experts explain the poten-
tial need for the increased levies
in this manner:
Because of the defense pro-
gram, more people are earning
more money than ever before.
At the same time, defense or
ders and priorities on such ma
terials as aluminium are cutting
down the volume of consumer
goods which people can buy
with their money.
The experts fear that people
will bid against each other for
the available merchandise, push
ing prices up to inflationary lev
els.
President Roosevelt is consid-
ering a request to congress for
authority to control prices and
even rents, but the experts be-
lieve that it may also be nee
essary to impound some Of the
idle money,
EXPRESS FAVOR
Some of them have expressed
favor for the British plan of le-
vying special taxes and promis-
ing to give them back after the
war.
But others have suggested use
OF the social security system, in
creasing the taxes, increasing the
pensions, and also increasing the
variety of jobs to be included.
They say that under the orig
inal social security act Of 1898,
the old age tax should have
risen to 2 per cent Of payrolls
upon both the employees and en-
ployers this year, and next year
to 3 per cent each. However,
last year Congress voted to
freeze the tax at l per cent
each.
In the last fiscal year, which
ended June 30 the tax brought
in S69O,OOO,O00. With payrolls
expanding, 3 per cent rate
might bring in over $4,000, 000,-
600 - removing that much pur-
chasing power from the public
and at the same time helping the
treasury finance defense costs.
Some experts advocated ex-
tending the pension coverage to
groups not now included, such
as farm hands, domestic servants
and school teachers.

officially designated a The

yesterday In one Of the nnoot|

the United States has yet made
against the Axis.

1t was issued jointly by the 9sc-
retaries Of State. Treasury and
Commerce. the Attorney 0ener-
nj, the Export Control Admins
traitor and the Coordinator q
Commercial and Cultural Aela-
tons between the American ~
publics. This group promptly be-
came known here a the Eco
nomic warfare committee" TO
it the president assigned the
function of keeping the blacklist
up to date.
DUAL PURPOSES
The White House said the list
would serve two principal pur-
poses-to prevent those named
in it from receiving any Of the
hundreds Of articles now under
export control except In special
circumstances" and to, prohibit
them from using any Of the Axis
assets in this country which re-
Gently were frozen by the pres
ident.
Since the list covered not only
German nationals and outright
German and Italian firms but
also others officially deemed 70
be" serving the German and
Italian interests. it was expected
to have q variety of results.
Among these, officials said, were
plugging Of leaks Of American
defense materials 70 the Axis
powers and elimination. Of pro-
Axis $prUpaganda and political
activities financed by profits on
American business.
Much already had been done
along these lines by the export
control office, state department
and the coordinator Of CONNER
cial and cultural relations, but
this latest step was expected 70
strengthen their efforts immeas-
urably.

1887 it was 3,78O,O0O, in 1888 it was

Advent of desert coolers, other
cooling systems, more lawn and
shrub sprinkling were given as eX-
plantations for the phenomenal in
crease.
Secondary only to the need for
a new filter, described as No. l re-
quirement on next years water
plant improvement program, was
pumping capacity. Heinecke said
the full plant capacity was for
nine million gallons at a given
time. Usually, however, plant cap
acity is taken as the total minus
the pull of the largest unit, allow
ing that as standby protection in
case of a breakdown. Subtracting
the largest pump (three million)
from the total, the pumping plants
capacity would be six million gal
Ions. Frequently, demand during
the peak hours has taken the plant
beyond that safe point, Heinecke
indicated.

Rain mayShaee meant dismay for

arily, for Ell sCentro's water plant
authorities. .f-f
Summer demand has approached
the bursting point figures from
the office of Walter Heinecke, dir

During the summer of 1910 the
day of greatest consumption was
5,27O,0O0 gallons, more than twice
the largest day registered in 1885.
This figure probably will be topped
before the summer of 1941 closes.
Already demand has hit close to
the five million mark. That means
500 gallons per individual in the
city!

REDS join Raj IN BLASTING CONTINENT
US TOFEED EUROPE
Biz Postwar Relief Plan Drawn

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. (UP)-
The United States is drawing up
plans for the greatest relief exped-
iton of history-to feed and restore
to health the undernouriShed hordeS
of Europe--after the war is over,
it was learned today.
Plans include establishment OF q
huge store of foods and other reliet
articles to meet immediate prob
lens and a longer range plan to
assure freedom of trade and an am
pie supply of raw materials for all
nations.
The long range plan is to be based
on international trade agreements
and, possibly, creation of a huge
international bank to finance inter-
national transactions. A test tube
bank now is being formed as the
Inter- American bank for the west
ern hemisphere republics.
A hint of the post war plan was
given by Assistant Secretary OF
State Adolph A. Berle, jr., at a
reception by the exiled Grand
Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg
last night at the Luxembourg lega-
ton.
"It is the plan of this government,

shorter military service extern
sion than the 18 months voted by

lation through the house.

that when the bill goes to confer
ence where the senate and house
versions Will be reconciled, they'll

able to the army and the president.
The house leaders were represent

sprinkle on July 90 and "a.
Saturday forenoon's fall appear
ed general over the valley. Calexico,
Holtville and Brawley all reported
similar brisk showers.
Winterhaven and Yuma were re-
ported safe from a heavy fall but
severe rains were reported in the
Blythe area. Reports also said the
Jacumba area received showers.
No damage was reported in I'M
perial Valley, aside from leak in
the Ell Centro city hall roof that
gave a shower bath to city clerk
employees. Damage to crops was ex-
pected to be negligible. Some hay
lying in the fields might have been
injured.
Rains left the valley with humid
atmosphere, although temperatures
were down. From Fridays high
point of 107 degrees, the mercury
was SO at noon Saturday with hu-
midity at 10. At o'clock Friday
afternoon the temperature was 9s
with humidity 40.

water supply would have to be cut
down.
Although complete figures were
lacking, it appeared that Ell Centre
was either the top or near the top
among cities of the nation in per
capita water consumption. During
August the average has been around
400 gallons per capita per day, as
compared to a national average Of
112! One town in Delaware has
as low as 80 gallons per capita per
day.
Therefore, Ell Centre needs a
water plant that elsewhere in the
nation would be considered large
enough for a city four times as big!"
Heinecke pointed out.
About 40 per cent of the summer
water demand goes toward water
ing the many acres of city parks,
sprinkling the streets and other
city summer uses. The balance goes
to domestic demand, for industrial
pull in summer months is neglig-
ible.
A review of high" demand days
during the last year showed an
