Mr.. OToole suggested that in
cases where professional athletes
are found to lack some of the quail

that they be inducted into service
as coaches in their respective pro-
fessions.
I'm that manner" he said, they
will raise the morale of their fellow

and will also be serving their coun-
try"
Ihe New Yorker also opposed Su9-

made that the training period for
professional baseball players be split
because they are engaged in a sea-

ing 10 hours. found him guilty on
two of four counts. but acquitted
him of tax evasion charges for 1887

Cost Differences Explained.
Asked why there was a difference
in the labor costs, Maj. Noxon said
Fort Meade came under the juris-
diction of the Baltimore union locals
and the rates were lower than those
prevailing in the District OF Colum-
bia. The District rates applied in
the building of the cantonment at
Fort Belvolr
Earlier Col. C. F. Gee. the first
construction quartermaster at Bel
voir. told the committee the esti-
mates of the cost of construction
were made when labor and material
costs were lower. He said heavy
October rains begged down the
roads delayed the work and in
creased the cost of the 800 buildings
at the cantonment.
Col Gee said that for many
months the War Department had
refused to approve the travel allow
ance of IS cents a day given to
workers who lived i'll the District
of Columbia He said the union
rules provided for the allowance or
the alternative of having the work
er's time begin from the minute he
crossed the District Line into Vir-
ginia
The Labor Board and the Quar-
termaster General finally ordered
the 75-cent allowance" he said.

struction quartermaster at Fort Bel

IF we had been able to spend a
year on the job. it could have been
done much cheaper" he testified,

would have cost Is per cent less"

program. showing that income levies.
with the proposed increased sur
taxes. would yield $3.50. 100000
toward the huge new revenue goal.
Mr.. Sullivan presented to the
House Ways and Means Committee
a statement which confirmed earlier
unofficial reports that the Treasury
had suggested new system of sur
taxes starting at IL per cent and
affecting all income tax brackets

that war may spread to this coun-
try

Under the Treasury plan. the
committee was told the so-called
normal income taxes would remain
where they are now. but the
Treasury estimated that with the
greatly broadened and increased
surtaXes, income levies would Weld
81 500, 10000 toward the new reve-
nue. goal
The proposed plan also included
suggestion that a corporation in
come surtax be inaugurated with

DstiUutcu LquitdUfN'
Mr.. Sullivan said in his state
ment that the Treasury had been
guided in making its tax proposals
by three basic principles laid down
by Secretary Morgenthau.
These were that the greater part
of the emergency defense program
should be met from current taxes.
that the taxes should be collected
with a minimum OF interference
with the effective mobilization of all
our manpower.' and that the adGi-
tional tax burden be distributed
'equitably among the several seq
ments of our population.
In proposing the tax program.
Secretary Morgenthau spoke of
world and national situation with
out parallel and when Representa-
tive Jenkins. Republican. of Ohio
asked what he meant the witness
rose from his chair and, speaking
slowly, replied:
i read the papers every morning.
I read them at noon and l read
them at night. and ! listen to the
radio every day. and from these
various news sources I am reliably
informed that both in Asia and in
Europe they are at war and that
the war each day is spreading and
the situation l have referred TO is
the possibility that the war may
spread to this country"
He said I'VE simply cannot carry
on business as usual and govern
ment as usual from now on and still
take adequate care of our defense
needs"
