Government May Recover
Up to 100000. 900
Committee to Consider Reeopture
Provisions on Company Eovninss

WASHINGTON, March 6 -
R-Congressional action to re-
capture any excessive profits
made by companies sharing in
the $50, 900, 600, 900 War Produc-
ton program was advocated to-
day by chairmen Byrd (D-Va.)
of the joint committee on non
essential expenditures.
Byrd told reporters prelimi-
nary information led him to be-
lieve that the potential profits in
the current program were so
high that the government ought
to be able to recover up to 49,
900, 000,0 900 and still leave par
ticipating firms with a fair re-
turn on their investment.
He said he would ask the COM
mittee to consider, probably af-
ter hearings next week, a pro-
posal to impose recapture pro-
visions on the earnings of these
companies. This should be cal
culated, he said, to permit the
corporations to retain as pro-
fits only a reasonable percent
age on their invested capital as
interpreted by the treasury for
tax purposes.

NEW YORK, May 6.-The de-
mand for shipbuilding materials ha,
risen so sharply since the United
States entered the war that it will
be several months before steel plate
production equals war demand, the
Iron Age said today.
Ship production has been limited

The trade journal said that sew
eral railroad carbuilding shops were

and that at various inland industrial
centers submarines. subchasers and
other types Of boats we're being built
in increasing numbers.
o. p. A. Plans Called Obscure"
Plans of the once of Price Ad-
ministration regarding steel prices
remained obscure, the magazine
commented.
20. p. A. has asked several COM
panies for cost data and reports
persist that the extensive price
structure OF that industry is to be
overhauled, with increases for some
products. but with larger number
Of reductions which might amount
to as much as an average cut Of {
per cent" the magazine said.
Since steel prices are tightly tieo
to wages, some observers will watch
the progress of union demands fol
Sl-a-day increases to forecast any
important steel price revisions."
Iron Age estimated steel ingot pro-
duction this week at SO per cent Of
capacity, down a point from last
week because of the need for repairs
rather than any scarcity OF raw ma
terials.
Turning TO the general industrial
picture, Iron Age said that while the
new-plant stage had been passed. re-
ports of new plants continued tc
come out, including a synthetic rub
Der plant in New England, similar
plants elsewhere and an aluminium
drop-forge plant which will increase
by millions of pounds the output OF

1t said that while the length of the
work week in war factories still was
controversial subject, one Ameri-
can shipbuilding plant reported that
Its employees were averaging TO

"One aircraft plant and one ord
nance plant are the only other war
plants reporting employees averaging
as much as TO hours a week" it
commented.
According to 4 Department of

Hiqher Taxes on Low Incomes
Urged at Savings Banks Meeting
Five Per Cent War Levy on Wages Proposed;
U. S.-Lobor Cooperation Discussed

| pointed out by Joseph Earl Perry
commissioner Of banks of Massa-
chusetts.
He said there was current a
philosophy which had been distorted
so that great numbers of people
have come to think that thrift is
obsolete because the Government
owes them a living; cited "the
crushing weight of Government
squandering," and the impression
that it is futile to save because
there Is no safe place in which
savings may be preserved
War Bond Sales Discussed.
Harold N Graves, assistant tc
the Secretary OF the Treasury, told
the conference that sales of War
savings bonds showed a steady in
crease in small purchases but the
Treasury continued to aim at an
objective of having at least 10 per
cent Of the national income in
vested in the bonds.
Mr.. Graves said that to reach
that goal required sales of at least
81 ,0O0, 900 900 month or practically
double the present rate.
Andrew Mills, jr., president OF
the association and of the Dry
Dock Savings Institution, New
York, said that selling the savings
bonds was part of the banks share
of the war effort.
He said the banks themselves
during l941 had increased theil
holdings of Government bonds tt
50 ,591 900 900. or more than 80 PEI
cent Of their assets, against slight,
above .26 per cent the year before
Mr.. Mills urged that bank
wherever possible also should ex
tend their financing of housing TO
war workers and urge thrift boti
generally and through savings banl

Abolition Of 40-Hour
Week Urged by Head
OF Finance Institute
Bancroft Says 1t Is
inconsistent With
Price Ceilings
~ the Associated Press.

BOSTON. May 6-James r.
Bancroft. president of the Ameri-
can Institute of Finance, said to-
day he believed it was "incongruous
to establish a program of overall
price ceilings and at the same time
insist that the basic 40-hour week
be retained"
This discourages increased pro-
duction of civilian goods, the scare
ity of which is one cause of the
rising prices which the overall CELL
ing is combating" he said in an
address prepared for Rotary Club
meeting.
Mr.. Bancroft said if manufac-
turers were not allowed to raise
prices they could hardly afford a
50 per cent increase in wages paid
in the producing of civilian goods y
When what we need is the great
est possible production of all the
things we can produce, it is ridicu-
lous to have many producers of
civilian goods loafing two days out
Of seven,' he declared.
The abolition of the 40-hour
week would be one of the greatest
contributions that Congress could
make to the problem of wartime
scarcities and the holding down of
prices"
Mr.. Bancroft declared that pro-
duction would win the war and that
American business would supply the
production
Business will build the ships
that carry our men and materials to
the fields of battle all over the
world" he said.
Business will clothe and feed our
armies. Business will supply the
civilian needs of our people Busi-
ness will provide the billions of
dollars needed to prosecute the war
business will pay the bulk of the
taxes, business and businessmen will
buy the bulk of the War bonds"
