Association Spokesman
On Proposed Profits Levy

tEaTlieF story On rage ALL
By TIE Associated Press.
Representative Cooper, Democrat,
of Tennessee asserted today that
corporate tax proposals of the Ma
tional Association OF Manufacturers
would soak" the smaller companies
and 'let-the big ones out"
He made the statement as j.
Cheever Cowdin, N. A. M. repre-
sentative, was recalled by the House
Ways and Means Committee for
questioning about the organizations
recommendation for a 80 per cent
excess profits tax after payment of
a 40 per cent normal and surtax.
Mr.. Cooper said that under
N. A. MS proposals a corporation
with 500 ,000, 900 net income would
pay $40,000000 and under present
law would pay SAT $685. 900, and,
speaking of the difference, said:
That would be the amount of
money lost to the Treasury under
your plan. and here we're called
upon in this critical hour to raise
81 900 100000"
Mr.. Cowdin retorted that the Or
ganization's plan would yield 81 $780,
100000 more from both large and
small concerns than they currently
pay.
But your plan does favor the
largest ones" Mr.. Cooper insisted.
Mr.. Gowdin sharply disagreed,
saying that the only companies
which might be aided in that re-
spect were those whose earnings are
100 to 200 per cent of their base
credit. based on pre-war profits.
You soak the smaller ones still
more and let the big ones out" Mr..
Cooper remarked heatedly.
In questioning Mr.. Cowdin, Mr..
Cooper developed that the NJ A. M.
recommended no tax rate differen-
tial between large and small COM
panies, while present law gives an
advantage to concerns with less
than SIS 900 net income
Mr.. CoWdin and Mr.. Cooper
agreed that there should be some
differential and Mr. Cowdin said
that question was one he forgot in
presenting his program.
Earlier, Carl H. Wilken, economic
analyst of the Raw Materials Coun-
Gil of Sioux City. Iowa, advocated
either gross income tax or retail
sales tax without exemptions.

dress, sat in the front of the court
room among the spectators. She had
conferred with Justice Let's before
the sentencing. When Viereck was
brought into the courtroom. in the
company of deputy United States
marshalS, he looked about for his
wife, and when he caught her eye,
smiled broadly.
Special Assistant to the Attorney
General Maloney told the court,
after Viereck had spoken, that he
had listened with some astonish-
ment to this diatribe delivered be-
fore the court" and asserted that the
accused was attempting to bring
about "a scandalous comparison be-
tween the President. whom he char
acterized as the best loved man in
the country" and a man whom death
had mercifully moved from the
scene This last reference was taken
to mean the late Senator Lundeen,
to whom Viereck referred in his
statement as being "a patriot if ever
there was one
IAN Enemy for Years"
Referring to Viereck, Mr.. Maloney
said that. knowing that he must pay
for his crimes to the American peo-
pie, the defendant attempted to be-
smirch every one he could.
The prosecutor quoted Viereck as
having written in one of his books
that the law could never be so
drawn that a clever propaganda
could not evade it, and that now he
stands before the bar of justice and
says that he is not guilty of any
violation.
I'VE are at war and this is total
war and whatever sentence the de-
fendant gets would certainly be
much less than he would receive in
the country he spoke for" asserted
Mr.. Maloney. This man has been
an enemy of our country for years
past-an enemy with gun in his
hand and knife at our throat"

On Friday Of last week a three year
audit of the affairs and condition of
the H. B. A. was made under direc-
ton of the Honorable John Sharp Will
liams, Bird, commissioner of insurance
of the state of Mississippi. A COM
plete check up on the Association was
made by Mr.. G. c. Shelton, auditor.
We were commended for the splen-
did work that is being done through
and by the H. B. A. Some recon-
mendations were made for improve
ment
The H. B. A. has a record of not
having given the department of in
surance one minute trouble during the
life of the insurance company. The
H. B. A. was organized before the in
surance department of Mississippi
was organized, therefore, we have a
