HOOVER URGES:
More Power for FDR

Former President Herbert Hoover
urged that President Roosevelt be
given additional "dictatorial eco
nomic powers" as a means Of win
ming the total war.
"There must be no hesitation
i'm giving them to President
Roosevelt and unfolding him In
them" MIR. Hoover said in an
address before the 26th assem-
bly, of the National Industrial
Conference board.
Economic dictatorship, however,
must not encroach on civil iber-
ties, he declared. "From a philo-
sophica1 viewpoint" he said he
would like to see the sixth column
nists given little more liberty"
"Criticism of the conduct OF
the war is necessary II we are
to win the war;" he added. 1--WE
want the war conducted right
..,sDemocracy can correct mis-
takes only through public ex-
posure and opposition to them."
Mr.. Hoover did not define specif-
icaliy the new dictatorial powers he
advocated for President Roosevelt.
He said, however, 1--WE must start
our thinking with q cold, hard fact;
that the economic measures to win
total war are just plain Fascist

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-A sneeze-
sowing army of ragweed pollen has
launched its annual infiltratio Of
sensive at America S 5000, 900 allergic
noses.
The nasal blitz, says Oren c. Dur
ham, prominent aerobiologist, will
gain momentum the remainder of
August and then gradually diminish
until it f1zzles out in October "caus-
ing considerable impairment in war
training and production efficiency
during the period"
Mr.. Durham said severe hay fever
sufferers would have to take time
out from their jobs in war plants
and that the ranks Of victims would
be augmented by former office
workers now in Army camps.
Men who had very mild cases
while working in cooped up Offices
may find 1t a very different story
when they are exposed to the pollen
in outdoors training camps" he said.
Mr.. Durham, who has made over
100000 observations in his 15-year
study of hay fever, estimated that
approximately 4 per cent of the pop
ulation suffers from varying degrees

Army Combats Plan
For Dependent Aid
Before November |
Rankin Will Insist
Thot House Take Up
Bill on Thursday
By the Associated Press.

Representative Cochran, DEM
ocrat, of Missouri made public
today a letter from the War De-
partment opposing pending leg
islation under which payments
to servicemen's dependents un-
der the Allowance and Allotment
Act would be made Immediately,
instead Of being withheld until
November /.
Signed by Undersecretary Robert
P. Patterson, the letter expressed the
view that November l, the date set
by Congress when the original legis-
lation was enacted, was "the earliest
practicable date upon which pay
ments can reasonably commence"
M. Patterson estimated that up
ward of 100000 checks would be
sent out monthly under the act and
pointed out that vast administra-
tive force must be trained and en-
ployed and equipment obtained be-
fore payment could be made.
Nevertheless, Representative Ran
kin. Democrat, of Mississippi, said be
planned to insist that the House
give consideration Thursday to leg
islation making the payments ef1ec-
tive at once. He pointed out that
no recipient would receive any addi-
tional money under his measure,
since the original act provided that
payments accrue as OF June /, but
not be made until November l.
MY bill merely makes it possible
for the departments to start re-
leasing the funds now In needy
cases." Mr.. Rankin said.
He remarked that a majority of
the members of the House Military
Committee favored his proposal but
said Chairman May had asked that
consideration be deferred until

today.
"All bombs landed in the target
area" communique No. 80 said.
After the bombers released their
bombs, escorting pursuit planes
bombed and machine-gunned the
dock area. The complete lack of
hostile opposition indicates the
enemy was taken at complete sur
prise"
No United States losses were suf-
fered.
1t was the first raid on Haiphong
by raiders based in China.
Haiphong has been used by the
Japanese as port of entry into the
French colony since September. 1940

One slipped in front of the bus and,

Some one else opened the bus

Former Senator Asks
Committee 10 Keep
oil Tax Allowance
Gore Declares New
Proposal Will Bring
In Only 80 Million

Former Senator T. P. Gore of
Oklahoma urged the Senate
Finance Committee today to re-
tain the current 2712 per cent
depletion allowance on oil and
gas wells for taxation purposes
a principle he sponsored in 1918
as a member of the committee.
He declared that changing to a
cost depletion method, as recon-
mended by the Treasury Depart
ment, would bring in about $780,
100000 more a year-"only enough
money to run this war 13 hours and
13 minutes"
Treasury officials have contended
that the nat percentage allowance
represented special privilege for
the oil and mining industries.
The blind former Senator, repre-
senting the Mid Continent Oil and
Gas Association and the Independ-
ent Petroleum Association of
America, declared the tax credit
was essential to the success of the
petroleum industry If not It's sur
vival."
Last Week Of Hearings.
Under the present law, which the
House declined to change. 27h per
cent Of the gross income of the
property may be written off an
nually to make up for exhaustion
of the deposits, provided that the
allowance does not exceed so per
cent of the net income.
The committee started it's last
week Of public hearings on the new
revenue bill shortly after Chairman
George forecast that the Senate
would take some action to simplify
collection of proposed S per cent
tax on wages, interest and dividends.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Oklahoma, spoke briefly in opposi-
ton to any change in the present
allowance, as did a Finance Com
mittee member, Senator Kilgore,
Democrat, of West Virginia.
Gov. M. M. Nicely of West Vir-
ginia, also a former Senator, main
tanned that the depletion allowance
was sound in logic and essential to
the prosecution of the war"
Mr.. Cores argument for reten-
ton of the allowance was seconded
by D. H. Fell Of Ardmore, Okla,
who spoke for Al associations of
oil producers. He said the wisdom
OF the policy, conducive to new
explorations for petroleum, was
demonstrated by the present large
known reserves in the United
States.
But he said even larger reserves
were needed because OF the war,
and added "oil fields cannot be
delivered on demand"
Mr.. Fell also asked for retention
OF the tax allowance for intangible
drilling expenses.
"Oil prospecting" he said, 'in-
wolves tremendous financial hazards.
In order to continue prospecting
for new resources, we must leave
the money to pay the costs of ex-
ploration and discovery activities

In message read over a special
broadcast, the President said great
progress" had been made on the
production front, but added that "in
terms Of what will be required to
defeat our enemies, we have only
just begun to get into our stride"
The Presidents message featured
a broadcast during which top Gov

their united efforts to speed war

Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, COM
mander- -in-chief of the Pacific Fleet,
told the Nation of crucial need
for more raw materials" and warned
that victory would demand "un-
dreamed-of sacrifices and priva-
tions." Winning the war will be "a
long and bloody task" he said.
Admiral William D. Leahy, chief
of staff to the President, expressed
the belief that Americans, as indi-
viduals, possibly had not yet realized
the bitter truth" that I'VE are
fighting for freedom"
Admiral Leahy, asserting that no
pleasant fate awaits a beaten Amer
ica," said:
THE picture is grim, today. But
I can remember a time when it was
grim in 1918. - I believe that
it was unity of purpose and wiling
ness to sacrifice that stopped the

among us"
Labor Cooperation Pledged.
Philip Murray, president of the
CIO, and William Green, head of
the AFL, pledged the continued CO.
