Chairman Declines to Say
Lew Will Be Ruled Out
Ssnote Committee Seeks Added
Revenue to Help Finonee War

mony of Jay Iglauer. who on be-
half of the National Retail Dry
Goods Association urged enact
ment of per cent sales levy
on all types of goods, but not
on services, wages or rents.
George (D-Ga) said he saw
two possible obstacles to pass
age of a sales tax - the parlia-
mentary difficulties and the
problem of policing and en-
forcement. He said he had been
informed there was shortage
of certain types of accounting
machines, and definite lack of
trained personnel to supervise
collection of the tax.
But the principal difficulty
is the parliamentary one" he
said. THE House didn't choose
to put the sales tax on its bill,
and even if the Senate voted to
do so, there still would be a
very difficult situation in the
conference committee.
George told reporters he was
not expressing his views on the
merits or dement's of a sales
levy.
To get any material increase
in revenue above the $6,271,-
100000 in additional taxes vot-
ed by the House, George sug-
gested, We'll have to go to
some other source of revenue
not necessarily the sales tax"
He said that heavy increases
in specific excise taxes, as rec
commended by Treasury officials,
might help but wouldn't come
close to bringing in the 2,000,-
600, 900 more desired.
George said he did not be-
lieve either the corporate or in
dividual income tax rates could
be increased greatly oVfr the
House bill without arranging a
postwar credit for taxpayers.

CHICAGO, Aug. 8 - tH1 -
Madam will soon go back and

In about the time it takes to

into effect with the pop of the
first cork on Aug. Is.
It was introduced without
warning by Mayor Edward j.

soldiers and sailors are being
treated.

WITH SIXTH ARMY CORPS,
Aug. 6 - up - Make no mis-
take about it, friend, these war
time army maneuvers in the
Carolinas are serious business
and dirty hard work.
There are many things about
them which might seem childish
to an outsider. Yet each has its
specific tactical purpose and
value.
When a lone man waving a
flag can blow out for two hours
a pontoon bridge into which an
entire battalion of engineers
has put IL hours of sweat, curses
and mashed fingers, it may seem
too much sham and too little
battle. Yet in the tactical book
that waving flag means that
enemy artillery, not yet knock
ed out by the river-crossing
force, actually has laid its guns
on the bridge and that, from a
corresponding position on an
actual battlefield, they would be
Smelling it to hell and gone.
You might laugh if you saw
a 28-ton tank ruled out of COM
mission by a burst of blanks
from a 50-calibre machine gun.
But that machine gun represents
a 77-mm. Howitzer and its vic
tory is a tactical triumph for
the gun crew and a lesson to the
tank crew not to 60 plunging
blindly into what may be trap.
Flour sacks dropped from
bombers are not meant to be
deadly missiles. But they do
pack enough punch to teach the
troops that the thing to do when
a bomber's coming overhead is
to duck for cover, not stand open
and -dmire it.
Thus our citizen army learns
the theory and some of the
science of warfare.
The troops 60 days without
sleep, except for the cat-naps
they grab wherever they hap
pen to fall; days without kit
chen cooked or any cooked meal;
days, sometimes even weeks,
when they have no chance to
wash off thoroughly the caked
accumulation of dust and sweat.
They are bitten by chiggers
or ants, pestereu half to death
by fruit-flies and mosquitoes.
They wade through streams,
slog through swamps, fight their
way through underbrush, drive
their tanks. trucks and armored
cars through pitch blackness, are
subjected to tear-gas attacks and
bend their backs into man
handling the heavy equipment
that goes into pontoon bridges.

learn to be alert - lesson they
can absorb from the rare in

ditional revenue to help finance

While calling attention to
practical difficulties in impos-
ing and enforcing such a levy,

the tax and added that he had
not made up his own mind about
it.

Starnes declared yesterday
that the conspiracy" was being
promoted by certain interna

and that their "strategems have
included evasions intended to

Inmates of the large companies,
declared:
Il have been blocked at every
turn, blocked by Americans,
blocked by Standard Of New
Jersey and men who are affiliat-
ed with and influenced by the

He told the committee that the
conspiracy is directed
from outside the government by
Mr.. Frank A. Howard, of Stand

and managed and directed
from inside the government by
MIR. Richard j. Dearborn, vice
president and general patent at
