Army Is Restoring
Rifles 10 R0TC
Units in Colleges
Maryland U. Expected
To Receive as Many
As 1000 Goronds

An indication that the Armys ord
nance program is progressing rap
idly was seen today in a War De-
partment disclosure that the Army
has begun to return to senior ROTC
units the rifles which it asked them
to turn in several months ago.
The University of Maryland and
Georgetown and Howard Universi-
ties have not yet been notified when
they will get back their guns, spokes-
men for their military department
said. Within the next few months,
however, War Department officials
say they expect to supply all the
senior college military units either
with new rifles or with used
weapons.
M. U. Expects 1000 Garands.
Col. Robert E. Wysor, jr., head
of the military department at the
University OF Maryland, indicated
that he expects his outfit to get as
many as 1000 of the crack new
Garand rifles. Only 25 of these
weapons are now on hand at the
school. They replaced 1,5O0 old
Springhelds called in by the Army.
Georgetown and Howard Uni
versities each lost about 300 Spring
fields and received about half a
dozen Garands.
Eventually rifles may be given
also to junior ROTC units at essen
tial military schools, such as mill
tary preparatory academies, but the
Army's plans do not now include
other units such as those in Wash
lngton high schools.

90 Pei. Profits Tax
Without Rebate Called
Ruinous 10 Business
Would Kill Corporations
Like Flies After War,
Senate Hearing Told
b. the Associated Press.

Clinton Davidson, Washington
representative of a private re-
search organization, told Con-
gress today that 80 per cent ex-
cess profits tax would cause cor
porations to die like flies in the
postwar period"
Mr.. Davidson, appearing before
the Senate Finance Committee for
Fiduciary Counsel Inc, of Jersey
City, said his organization was con-
vlnced that failure to provide for a
postwar rebate of part of tax pay
ments by corporations under the
pending revenue bill would cause
great hardship. He said his orga-
nization served 40 medium sized"
corporations.
Mr.. Davidson urged that all tax
collected in excess of 80 per cent of
excess profits be held by the Treas
ury as a postwar recovery and re-
employment reserve to be returned
to corporations.
The Treasury has recommended a
80 per cent excess profits tax with
10 per cent postwar rebate, but
the House made the tax a fiat 90
per cent without any rebate pro-
vision.
Billion Fund Urged.
"A 30 per cent tax without ade-
quate reserve will cause corpora
tions to die like flies in the post
war period, spreading depression
and unemployment" Mr.. Davidson
| declared.
He estimated that at least 81 900, =
100000 year should go into the
proposed reserve.
Mr.. Davidson told the committee
that unless sufficient postwar en-
ployment were provided to bolster
purchasing power there was likelv
to be tremendous surplus of agri-
cultural products.
For instance, he said, there might
be 5000, ,000bale surplus of cotton
and 1000, 600, ,0O0- gallon surplus of
milk yearly.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
OF Michigan remarked that it might
not De necessary to worry about a
milk surplus IF Vice President Wal
lace achieves his ambition of giving
quart of milk day to everybody
in the world"
Mr. wallace suggested in a recent
speech that such an objective ought
to be one of the accomplishments of
the peace.
Auto Job Cut Seen.
Mr.. Davidson estimated that en-
ployment In the automobile industry.
which now works 100000 persons
on war contracts, would slump to
the pre-war level OF 562 900 persons
after hostilities cease.
Senator Brown, Democrat. of
Michigan challenged that estimate.
declaring he believed the postwar
demand for automobiles would keep
employment at high level.
Observing that he did not believe
American free enterprise would sur
vlve another period of mass unem-
ployment such as that in 1890 to "a,
Mr.. Davidson declared:
Unemployment plus demobiliza-
ton may equal demoraliza ton"
Chairman George of the commit
tee said earlier he considered taxa
ton the only practical way" to
achleve compulsory savings, If such
a system becomes necessary to fore
stall imitation.
! Only Practical Plan.
If we find it necessary to come
to compulsory savings later" he told
reporters, "it seems to me the only
practical way to do 1t is through
taxation.
Provision sould be made for the
investment Of a certain percentage
OF the tax in bonds. repayable to the
taxpayer after the war. That would

CAIRO. July 29.-Allied heavy

supply harbor of Suda Bay
Crete, at dusk yesterday, while
land operations on the Ell Ala
mein front we're confined to pa
troll activities in the northern

nounced today.
The communique reported that
heavy bombers of the Allied air
forces took part in the attack on
Suda Bay, which almost certainly
meant that United States bombers
participated.

United States bombers and the
Raj together attacked Tobruk
again Monday night.
The port of Matruh also was
raided, as we're Axis repair shops at

Yesterday long-range fighters and
light bombers for the fourth con-
secutive day operated against
coastal barges in the Egyptian
Libyan frontier area, sinking one
and probably another. These barges
were we'll armed, but were guarded
only by one italian fighter plane.
The repeated attacks on Suda
Bay may be explained by reports
from Turkey and elsewhere that
the Axis constantly is ferrying
troops and supplies into Crete for
transfer to the Egyptian front.
Axis Merchant Ship Damaged.
Torpedo-carrying aircraft hit and
damaged large Axis merchant
ship In the Ionian Sea. Other AL
lied planes attacked barges near
Sidi Barrani off the Egyptian coast
and set one on fire, the communique
said.
Over the battle area, the aerial
activity was of minor nature, it

Employment in the District In
November totaled 428, 900, an in
crease Of 1000 over October and
$4,000 more than IN November, 1910,
Secretary of Labor Perkins reported
yesterday.

In the United States in November
totaled 40,693 900, decline of 83,-
900 over October, but 3,l65 900
greater than in November, 1910. The
decrease during the month was due
chiefly to seasonal recessions in
manufacturing, transportation and,
the finance and service groups.

ers were employed in November
than in the preceding month, tho
decline in factory employment was
of less than the usual seasonal pro-
portion" Secretary Perkins said.
Employment continued to advance
sharply in the shipbuilding and air.
craft industries Moderate increases
were reported in a number of other
industries. These gains were off,
set, however, by seasonal losses in
canning and the clothing industries,
and also by employment reductions
in many establishments where oper-
ations have been curtailed in the
effort to conserve critical raw
materials"
The greater part of the gain Of
3,l65 900 in non-agricultural en-
ployment over the year occurred in
manufacturing with an increase Of
1,734 900 workers. Federal. State and
local Government services increased
391 900; trade increased $4,000:
construction rose 261 900; transport
tation, 242,c00; finance and serv.

Pay Roll Index 165.
The November employment index
for all manufacturing industries
stood at 1345 of the 1923-1925 av-
erage, and the pay roll index was
165. Compared with November,
1910. factory employment has risen
II per cent and pay rolls 422 per
cent. Wage increases affecting more
than $500 900 workers have been re-
ported to the Labor Department
since January.
The Pacific Coast States reported
gains in employment over Novem-
Der, 1910. Expansion in aircraft
plants and shipyards was respon-
sible for the greater part of the
increase.
According to Labor Department
figures. $4,000 persons were added
to the executive service pay rolls
in November. Though C. C. c. en-
ployment declined 1000 during the

While the protection of a store
depends upon its size, the neigh

should follow many of the same
general rules as houSeholders.
Zone wardens are being train.
ed to advise individual store
keepers on their responsibilities
as we'll as methods of protecting
their stores. Here are some OF
tie suggestions being gwen to
zone wardens by local defense
officials:
The storekeeper should have on
hs.d several buckets of sand and
s,cveis and ether materials
already suggested to household
ers to use in fighting incendiary
bombs. He should also have
enough hose to reach to any part
of the shop for the same purpose.
If the storekeeper has some
tarpaulin it might be well, under
air-raid conditions, to spread it
over the stock to protect the stock
from water.
If q night light burns in the
store the storekeeper should
make arrangements with his
sector warden for turning out the
light in case of an cir raid.
Store.scepers already have been
requested by local defense ol1cials
to eliminate all unnecessary
