President StulTs Report.

report 10 tll6 feQpTdtlOn lOllOW
Since our country has been at
war our business has been largely
directed along the lines of national
defense. This civilian defense par
ticipation, requiring as it does, so
much of the time of these individuals
members Of aSsociations), has re-
suited in most instances in falling
off in attendance at meetings and
a consequent curtailment Of the
business transacted. Inasmuch, how
ever, as we are definitely tied in
with this civilian defense effort. and
SO much time of our meetings is
devoted to matters directly or in
directly concerned with the war
effort, it is necessary that there
be a renewal of efforts to preserve
the meetings and to broadcast the
Importance of keeping intact the
various organizations which have
voluntarily shouldered the RESPONSE
bility of civic betterment.

troduced in the House bill pro-
viding for the election by the people
of delegate in Congress from the
District of Columbia. Since the
introduction of the bill, your Ex-
ecutive Board has approved the bill
Some of the more important work
of the Federation during the past
year may be summarized as follows:
Requested the appropriation of
public funds for civilian defense pur-
poses: favored an amendment to
zoning regulations requiring future
building to provide parking space,
favored immediate establishment of
a cross-toWn bus line; opposed the
taking over of school buildings by
the Federal Government; opposed
the abolition of the Accident In
vestigation Unit of the Police De-
partment; favored an increase in
number Of policemen; favored in
crease in hospital facilities; favored
the regulation and taxing of penny
arcades and ordered purchase from
federation funds OF two $500 War
bonds.
Acted on Many Bills.
Favored a more comprehensive
health program in the public
schools: favored the allotment of
p"oney to the District from the Lam
ham Act funds for recreation pur-
poses; opposed increased water
rents; opposed abolition of office of
District coroner; favored an amend
ment to Emergency Rent Act per-
mitting householders to take roomers
without becoming subject to regu-
lations covering rooming houses;
favored adoption OF the charitable
solicitation bill; urged approval OF
bill providing compensation for per-
sons injured while performing civil
ian defense duties; Endorsed Nc
Gehee bill authorizing reduction in
payments of unemployment taxes;
opposed increased pay for police and
flremen; favored certain amend
ments to blackout law; favored the
creation Of position under the
co-ordinater for the District tc
correlate the activities of the Ci-
william Defense Committees, and IA
vored certain amendments to the
A. B. C. regulations.
UNLESS a miracle takes place
this is destined to be a long, costly
and exhausting war. 1t is a new
kind OF warfare in which the civilian
population is as much at war as
the armed forces. At first we had
to combat indifference and compla-
cency, but gradually, through the
efforts Of those who came forward

Organized labor carried di-
rectly to Donald M. Nelson today
its demand for "a place at the
top" in guiding production pol
icy and for labor representation
on the War Production Board it.
self.
AS an outgrowth of represen-
tations made by the leaders Of
&C ALL and CIO unions at last
weeks Labor-WPB conference
on materials shortages, WPB
chairman Nelson arranged to sit
down with a six-man labor COM
mittee for what he called an at
ternoon of 1.-The frankest kind of
talk"
Meantime, sources refusing TO
be Quilted by name, predicted
Nelson would grant labor
voice in drafting production
policy equivalent to that of other
board members. They also ex-
pressed belief the council table
chair vacated by Sidney Hillman
would be filled by Wendell Lund
of Detroit.
Hillman has not attended
board session since the labor di-
vision which he headed was
abolished months ago and re-
placed by the Labor Production
division under Lund.
Speculation centered on Lund
as a probable choice both be-
cause he is, in sense, Hillman's
successor in WPB and because
he has no labor affiliation which
would make him Objectionable
to either CLIO or ALL. Lund is a
former director of the Michigan
Unemployment Compensa o n
Commission. He was named to
his present job with approval OF
both labor factions.
The labor officials last week
accused WPB of being "unbal-
anced and one-sided" in its ap-
proach to war production be-
Cause they said key positions
were held by men whose "ex-
perience and background are
those of corporate management"
This strong language was subse-
uuently stricken from a resolu-
ton presented to Nelson, but not
until it had been read to him IN
connection with presentation of
the labor program.
Nelson asked for more speci-
fic suggestions and ideas, to be
presented by a smaller group,
and gave assurance they would
get earnest consideration, but
made it clear that WPB's pro-
gram "in any case must be a
government program"

Manufacturers
Tax Backed

Bv FRANCIS ]. KELLY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3-(R
- Senator Herring Cd Iowa.
declared today that a manufac-
turers' sales tax of S to z per
cent was the most practical way
to boost revenues from the
pending supplemental tax bill
to the Treasury's goal of So, 700,-
100000 year.
"When we get through con-
sidering the taxes already writ
t., into the House bill or those
81 sgested in the Senate Finance
Committee" Herring said,
we're going to find ourselves
far short of cur revenue needs.
"A les tax is the answer. 1t
will bring in the money, all
right"
A check of changes in the bill
| indicates that the Senate group
has trimmed about 81 900, 000,-
900 from the $6,271, 100000 po-
tential revenue under the House
version.
Herring, a member of the fl
nance committee, estimated that
a S to per cent manufacturers
sales tax would produce up
wards of $4,000, 100000 annual
ly. Further, he forecast that
such a levy would owe popu-
lar with the citizens because all
won 4 pay the tax and as a re-
suit feel they had stake in the
government.
GAS Iowa's first Democratic
governor in As years, / sponsor
ed a sales tax" Herring recall
ed. 1T was passed md two
years later the fight against me
was centered on the sales tax.
But I was reelected by twice rs
big a majority as in 1892. The
people liked it."
From experience in admins
terins a state tax, Herring said
he was Of the opinion that q
similar Federal levy should not
exempt any special class of pur-
chases, such as food or CLOTH
ing. Exemptions lead to whole
sale evasions, he declared.
1T is also important, he said,
that the tax be passed on to
the consumer. Otherwise one
merchant would be proclaiming
that Well pay the tax and 9TH
ers would lie charging it to
their custmers."
Herring minimized the posi-
bility of collection problems.
Manufacturers could be in
structed to mail in the tax to
the collector, he said, and spot
checks could be made to dis
courage evasions.
He anticipated that commit
tee study of the bill would con-
tinue at least through ext
week, and possibly longer.
At tod s session, Secretary
Morgenthau was scheduled to
outline the ~reasury's plan for
graduated tax on all money
spent by individuals over and
above their regular income tax
exemptions and deductions. Saw
ings and payments on debts also
would be exempted.
