had filed his cost estimates would
stand unchallenged.
These provisions were designed to
eliminate complaints of contractors
that they were subject to multiple
renegotiations which now could ex-
tend until three years after the close
of the war
The Senate took long strides yes
terday toward approval of the bill,
approving a per cent victory tax
on gross income above 1924 a year
and voting, so to 35, to freeze social
security taxes in 1943 at the present
level of per cent on employers and
like amount on employees. The
rates would have jumped to per
cent January /.
Roosevelt Appeal Ignored.
That action was taken despite an
appeal by President Roosevelt in a
letter to Chairman George of the
Senate Finance Committee for
elimination of the committee-ap-
proved freezing" amendment which
Senator George subsequently sup
ported on a rollcall vote.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan, led a successful fight
against the proposal, saying that
social security funds already ex-
ceeded the legal minimum. He pre-
sented figures to show that a social
security tax of per cent would yield
as much revenue next year as the
Treasury had originally expected to
derive from the 2 per cent rate.
Earlier, the Senate adopted the
5 per cent victory tax. The levy,
effective January l, would be de-

Commissurs
Continued From First Page.)

commissars and political workers
have improved their military knowl-
edge and acquired a vast experience
in modern warfare. Some of them
have already been transferred to
commanders posts and successfully
lead troops and many others can be
appointed commanders either at
once or after certain military train
ing.
"All of these new circumstances
- = show that the reasons for the
existence of the system of military
commissars have completely disap-
peared. Moreover, further existence
of the Office of military commissar
may hinder improvement in the di-
rection of the troops and places the
commissars themselves in an awk-
ward position.
Thus the time is ripe for aboli-
ton of the office of military COM
missars in the Red Army and the
institution of complete one-man
command, placing in the command
ers the full responsibility for every
branch of work among the troops"

Army Tghtens Dimout Rules
For States on Pacific Coust
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10.-Pa-
ciflc Coast States we're placed under
new and stricter dimout regulations
today.
1t. Gen. ]. L. Dewitt, head of the
Western Defense Command and 9TH
Army, changed his dim-out regula-
tions OF August 20 to provide that
in restricted zones essentially all
light visible from above, including
street lighting, now must be shielded.
Restrictions on lights visible from
the sea remain essentially the same.
In addition, the Army broadened
its previous description of areas
visible from the sea" to include

would be collected in addition to the
usual normal tax and surtaxes. The
House has yet to approve the levy.
In addition to the 1924 basic ex-
emption, the victory tax permits
credits which could take the form
of postwar rebates, or current al
loWances for debt retirement, insur-
ance premium payments and the
purchase of Government bonds.
The credits would be Is per cent
of the tax paid by single persons, to
maximum of $500, and 40 per cent
of the tax paid by the head of a
family, to a maximum of $1,000.
To relieve employers of the neces-
slty OF computing the wage deduc-
tlons to the penny for each employe
the bill provides for wage bands
in which the deduction is identical
although compensation of various
employees in the bands may be a
few dollars apart.
AS result of this procedure, a
ilnal adjustment between the tax
payer and the Government will be
necessary at the end of the year.
Before approving the tax, the SEN
ate rejected proposal by Senator
DoWney, Democrat, of California
that the basic exemption be $1,000
with tax of per cent on the next
$1,000 and 10 per cent on all income
above $2,4OO.
More than a third of the fam
lilies of this Nation have incomes be-
low 81 ,25e~a year." Senator Downey
said. I'VE should not take this rad .
ditional money away from those who
haven't enough to live on. We with
larger incomes should make more
! substantial sacrifices." -, ta4 ,-,s-
f. Senator Downey's amendment was
defeated and the victory tax quickly
approved by a voice vote in each
case.
BY a 74-to-10 vote, the Senate
adopted an amendment Senator
Barkley said was "a slap at the Sec
retary of the Treasury allowing
the Joint Congressional Committee
tax staff to consult with underlings
IN Government departments in OBJ
tanning revenue information.

The new proclamat ton will become
effective October Is. with the ex-
ception of the portions covering

Gen. Dewitt said results obtained
under the present regulations of the
enemy along the coast, We're "in the

to shop only in those stores which
are displaying their ceiling prices"

Record Crops in Sight,
But Shortage Of Labor
Is Threat 10 Harvest
Wet Fall, EorIy Winter
Might Cause Big Loss,
Reporting Board Fears
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Federal Crop Reporting
Board said today that outstandingly
heavy crop yields in prospect for
several months we're now in sight
but not yet in the bag" warning
that farmers were showing less as
surance that the tremendous job
of harvesting can be completed in
season.
Repeating previous forecasts of
record production of food and fiber
crops, the board said nevertheless
that wet fall or an early winter
would probably catch big volume
OF crops still in the field. Officials
said shortages of labor were caus-
ing harvesting delays in some areas.
, Man Shortage Studied.
The boards statement that all
crops may not be harvested in time
came as Government and Congress
sional leaders sought ways of meet
ing a growing shortage of agricul-
tural workers which threatens,
some said, to result in food shortages
later.
The board said the volume of
crops grown was impressive. The
aggregate production-Which in
cluded the largest crop of corn in
history-was expected by the board
to exceed the 1923-1932 drought
level by % per cent. The largest
previous volume was in 1887, when
the total output exceeded the pre-
drought level by 1875 per cent. The
major factor contributing to the big
volume, the board said, was the
high per-acre yield, which averaged
36 per cent above the pre- drought
average.
Besides corn, record crops were
indicated for barley, feed grains,
hay, beans and peas, oilseeds (soy-
beans, peanuts and f1axseeds), sugar
crops and vegetables.
The corn crop-one of the most
vital for the production of meats,
dairy and poultry products for war
needs-was estimated at 1882, 900 900
bushels. That compares with 2,672,-
SAL, 900 bushels grown last year and
with the previous record of 307O,-
604,000 bushels produced in 1920.
The wheat crop was said to be
nearly all harvested, with produce
ton appearing to be approximately
984,046,0 900 bushels, a quantity ex-
ceeded only in 1915.
Fruit Outlook Good.
For the country as whole" the
board said, maturity and harvest
of such late fruit crops as apples
grapes, prunes and fall and winter
pears continued under favorable
weather conditions, although grow
erS In most areas are complaining
! of the difficulties experienced in OBJ
tanning harvest labor. But if gath
ering OF the fruits is concluded
without undue losses from labor
shortages and present prospects for
bumper citrus crop materialize
the 1923 fruit supply will exceed
the record 1922 output"
The board said the declining farm
labor supply was reflected also in
milk production figures. The output
per COW dropped more than usual
during September in every section
of the country. The board said the
percentage of the Nations milk cows
being MIXED on October l was the
smallest since 1888.
particularly sharp declines in
the percentage MIXED were shown
in the central section of the coun-
try, where the milking and handling
OF cows is competing with late har-
vesting and other farm operations
for share Of the diminishing farm
labor supply" the board said.

federation, submitted a Teport late
yesterday in which he reviewed the
suit brought against the American
Federation of Musicians by Thur
man Arnold, Assistant ATTORNEY
General in charge of the Anti Trust
Division.
Mr.. Padway said of all Mr.. Ar
nold S attacks upon organized labor
he has never launched one so wide
spread and so definitely and COM
pletely destructive of organized labor
as is his present attempt to destroy
the American Federation of Musi-
clans. If Mr.. Arnold prevails in
establishing these principles, trem-
pie at the consequences to organized
labor"
Mr.. Padway reported that only
80 per cent of the musicians in the
country were steadily employed, that
100000 coin-operated juke boxes in
the country brought an income of
$l50,Ooo,000 annually, and that an
average OF 7 minutes of each "a
hours OF radio time was given to

Repairing Renovizing . Modernzing Homes
Don't let it become serious

Looks like we must all take precaution to
conserve heat-for both oil and coal may
become questionable quantities this winter.
We offer without obligation the services of
an Eberly Plan Supervisor to check.up and
see what your home may be needing to get
the maximum of heat from the minimum of
fuel. He will see if windows need weather
stripping; that all cracks and crevices are
caulked. Maybe storm sash will help? He'll
inspect the heating plant; determine if it can
be converted to coal. He will make survey
for insulation that would be sure to
increase heat at least 25fo-working just the
other way round in summer. And insulating,
we do it, will be very effective-and not at
all expensive.
Then there are other things you can have
done-replacement of kitchen and bathroom
equi pment. General repairs-they are very
important, for new construction is out for
the duration. Except if you have surplus
room it can be turned into apartments
helping the housing shortage-and good
investment for you, too. And painting-that
is good property insurance.
We will gladly make this survey for you
without obligation of any kind. If you wish,
we will submit an estimate and please
remember it will be for the work to be done
by Eberly Plan Craftsmen-wit only
ONE moderate overhead and ONE
responsibility

bndsetine of the bill is a feature of service.
