his message on the state OF the
Union which he delivers to Congress
at the start of each new regular
session.
This message may 60 to Congress
Tuesday or Wednesday, depending,
it was said, on how soon it is ready.
Whether it will be delivered in per-
son by the President at joint ses-
sion of House and Senate Is still
to be determined, after the Presi-
dent has consulted Congressional
leaders. In some quarters it was
predicted last night Mr.. Roosevelt
probably would send the message
to be read in both Houses.
President Wilson, who revived the
practice of addressing the Congress
in person which had been abandoned
by President Washington in the
early days OF the republic, did not
go to Congress to deliver his annual
messages after the United States
entered the first World War.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee will not begin work on new
tax legislation until it has the rec
concentrations of the Treasury De-
partment, probably around January
Is. That the new taxes will be
heavy, when added to those al
ready imposed, is well understood.
President Roosevelt, in his annual
budget message which he will send
to Congress the day after his mes
sage on the state of the Union is
delivered, will give an indication of
the amount of revenue which the
administration deems necessary to
raise from taxation to meet the
heavy war expenditures and the gen.
eral expenses of government. The
Treasury Department has indicated
it intends to raise all the money 1t
can through taxes.

Appropriation bills will be major

be made to hold the n0n-defense

The chief of the Army's Serv-
ices of Supply said today that
ocean shipping was this coun-
try's worst war shortage, but that
so far there has never been a
carload" of Army shipments held
up at ports for want of cargo
space.
I'VE hope now to be able to extend
that to other shipments also" 1t.
Gen. Brehon B. Somervell told a
press conference.
Transportation is going to be the
bottleneck of our whole war effort" "
he said. adding that ocean shipping
was the limiting factor. with rail
transportation to date moving with
speed and efficiency.
We Are Over the HUMP.
I'VE are alert. however" he said.
ito the tremendous load which will
be placed on the rails next fall. The
peak of industrial production and
the military movements then are 60
ing to create terrific burden"
In production, he said, the prob
lens were raw materials and ma
chine tools, and although the output
OF military supplies has been very
good, Il don't want to create the i'm
preston that We have solved this
problem; we haven't"
A similar word of caution came
from Donald M Nelson, chairman
Of the War Production Board, who
told the House Banking Committee
that the production war has just
started"
Appearing in support of legislation
designed to bring small industry
farther into the production field for

are over the hump" the use of every
available industrial enterprise is
needed to overcome the nine-year
Axis reserve.

Of brains and devotion to duty that

q good deal said about labor. I
would like to say a word about the

poets from its employees if we are

On vinson Measure
Action on War Profits
Labor Bill Blocked by
Technically Today
By the Associated Press.

A showdown in the House Naval
Affairs Committee on legislation
to limit war profits and restrict
union activity for the duration
was blocked temporarily today by
a technicality, but the members
agreed to vote on the measure
tomorrow.
Amid chorus of cries, Lets vote
now" Representative Bates, Repub-
lican, of Massachusetts,, raised q
point of order that the committee
was not legally sitting because the
House itself was in session. Under
parliamentary rules, committees
cannot meet at such time unless
they first obtain specific permission
to do so.
Previously, the committee had re-
jected, 20 to 4, another motion by
Mr.. Bates to adjourn to give the
members time to study details of a
profits limiting formula advanced by
Chairman Vinson.
The test is to come tomorrow
on pending motion by Represen-
tative Bradley, Democrat, of Penn
sylvania, to table the profits-labor
legislation.
Mr.. Vinson's latest measure would
lift the statutory maximum work
week from 40 to 48 hours, but would
allow laborers to obtain time-and-
one-half pay in excess of 40 houfe
by voluntary agreements with en-
ployers.
simultaneously, he offered a
profit limitation proposal which
would allow a reasonable amount
of money for amortization and good
will" advertising to be included in
the cost of war contracts.
The basic feature of his original
profit limitation plan was retained,
however-$6, ,00C plus 8 per cent of
the cost on contracts in excess of
100000. He included also two pro-
visions which were In an earlier
draft, one setting up an incentive
bonus to stimulate individual
worker effort and the other freezing
the status quo of unions.
We're going to have a vote on
this today" Mr.. Vinson declared be-
fore the committee met. The peo-
pie want action. They're going to
get It,"
Meanwhile, members of the War
Labor Board were asked to explain
how President Roosevelts wage
stabilization plan would affect pay
