The Treasury made public to-
day correspondence indicating
that the Governments control
over the Nations wages and sal
aries may be more rigid than
shown in President Roosevelt's
stabilization order of October 3.
Secretary Morgenthau released the
text of letter from James F..
Byrnes, director of economic stabil-
ization, in which Mr.. Byrnes asked
the Treasury to propose regulations
to enforce salary limitations.
In part, the letter advised the
Treasury as follows: ..s..r..- 49,.
"Inasmuch as the recent emer-
gency legislation seems to authorize
broader and more direct control
over salaries, the regulations which
you may recommend to carry out
the Presidents objectives need not
be limited to Title III, Section 4 of
the executive order so long as they
come within the scope OF the powers
granted to the President"
While Secretary Morgenthau de-
clined to discuss his probable recon-
mendations, he told reporters that
he had set his RANKING experts to
work on the problems and hoped to
send plan to Mr.. Byrnes by Mon
day.
The rest of the letter to Secre-
tary Morgenthan cited the Presi-
dents October statement of policy
that persons having salaries of $1,000
per year or more should not get
raises unless assigned to more diff
cult work unless the raises were
specifically approved by Mr.. Byrnes,
and also provided ceiling of SIS. 100
on salaries after making provisions
for taxes, life insurance and fixed
obligations.
Mr.. Byrnes said he was asking the
Treasury for its tions
because the administration of these
restrictions "is closely related to the
administration of the revenue laws" :"
Title III, section 4, of the Presi-
dents order provided that these SAL
ary limitations should be observed
in the enforcement of the revenue
laws. price ceilings, and other gov
! ernmental activities.

Says, if Morgenthou
Asks 6 Billion More
BY the Associated Press.

oJ LAc ASSOC4AteO FIeS6s
The fight for a Federal retail
sales tax was abandoned for the
time being at least today as the
Senate went into it's third day
of debate on a new revenue bill.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia told reporters he and other
sales tax proponents had dropped
plans to offer an amendment pro-
viding for such levy. At the same
time, however, he served notice the
proposal would be revived If Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau
carries out his announced inten-
tion to ask Congress for a new
$4,000 900, 900 tax bill after work is
completed on the current measure.
1T Is very unfortunate that the
Treasury's grim determination to
defeat sales tax in this bill will
necessitate another bill in three
months" Senator Byrd declared.
IF sales tax could have been
adopted in the first place, it would
have saved great deal of confusion
and loss of time"
Victory Tax Supported.
Mr.. Morgenthau recently an
nounced that the Treasury wanted
to boost total annual taxation to
$50 900 900, 900 to help finance the
war. The present bill. he estimated,
would bring annual collections up to
$4,000, ,00o, 900.
Senator Byrd said it was his judg-
ment that further increase could
be accomplished only by sales tax,
but he said the only hope of getting
such a levy into the bill now before
the Senate was as a substitute for
the S per cent victory" tax on all
earnings above 1924 a year. He said
the victory tax appeared likely to
be adopted, since it would attract
support from nearly all sales tax op-
ponents.
One OF these, Senator La Toilette,
Progressive of Wisconsin, declared
he would vote for the victory levy
as the lesser of two evils" though
he said he did not like It.
Senator Downey, Democrat of
California, has proposed to amend
the victory tax to exempt earnings
Of 81 200 q year or less, and raising
the rate to 10 per cent on larger
incomes. The Senate was expected

may content themselves with
destruction of the Russians
Volga River arsenal city with
dive bpmbers and siege guns.
A DNB dispatch quoting military
Quarters. broadcast by the Berlin
radio. said:
The fight for stalingrad has
changed.
After the arrival at the strate-
gic objective-that Is after captur-
ing the heart Of the city and after
penetrating up to the Volga-the
remainder of the city need not be
stormed by infantry and sappers
but can be laid in ruins systemat-
ically by heavy and heaviest artil-
lery." the broadcast said, quoting
military quarters.
Objective Declared Achieved.
Reuters, in London, heard the
German radio say "The strategic
objective at Stalingrad already has
been achieved. 1t is no longer neces-
sary to send German infantry and
assault engineers into the battle
- The finishing touches will
now be intrusted to heavy artillery
Units and Stukas."
The Germans previously had
claimed to have reached the Volga
and the heart of Stalingrad, thus
creating situation such as the
broadcast mentions. The Russians,
On the other hand, have held the
Germans at Stalingrad now for IS
days, taking a sacrificial toll of the
besiegers, and apparently strength
ened their clutch on the city in re-
cent days by threatening the Nazi
flank to the north.
Siege Hailed as Red Victory.
The siege of Stalngrad already
has been hailed in some Allied
quarters A. essentially a victory for
the Russians because Of the delay

Hitler, speaking at the opening of
the winter relief campaign in Berlin
told Germany and the world:
Nov the situation at Stalingrad
must be brought to a conclusion.

from there"
