the afternoon.
The brothers admitted these

Tank Destroyer
Newest Product
Of Auto Plants
Mobile Cannon Travel
10 Miles an Hour; Get
Exhaustive Test in Texas

The automotive industry today
has a new war job--the construc-
ton of tank destroyers.
New ways TO fight tanks, In
volving new weapons and new tao
tics, are being rushed by the army,
with some 300 army officer-pupils
now maneuvering the vehicles over
los. 900 bunny acres of Texas this
summer to develop methods for
their use.
The weapons, produced by for
mer manufacturers Of passenger
cars and trucks. are variously
described as mobile cannon. COM
bat cars and trackless tanks, but
the most accurate name for them
is tank deStroyers.
LIGHT AND FAST
Capable of speeds up to 70 miles
per hour, these vehicles travel On
multiple wheels. They are lightly
armored but heavily armed. Their
guns, in several calibers, are
mounted to fire forward in the di-
Irection of travel.
Though new TO the United
States Army, the weapons are
of a type which the Red army has
been using with deadly effective
ness against Nazi tanks.
Another prototype of the weapon
is the self-propelled S8-mm. siege
cannon which the Germans intro.
duced in the Polish campaign anC
with which Field Marshal Romme
ambushed a British tank force ir
Libya at the start of his drive
into Egypt.

REALLY SEE SOME ALLEYS

Then the party journeyed to the
so-called blighted area, and really
saw some alleys.
Stepping cautiously on a thick
carpet of vari-colored glass they
held their collective breath and
gazed on piles of unwrapped refuse
which at some points nearly
crossed the alley.
Empty drums stood beside huge
piles of garbage. In one yard, it
was piled three feet high against
the inside of the fence.
Walker said the enforcement
squad would descend on this area
in two weeks at the most.
Gulping frequently, and through
watering eyes, he explained that
il took less than a week for the
alley to get this way, since the
collection is made weekly on
Thursday.
The committee wouldn't COM
Iment, but reporters present agreed
there is only one conclusion pos
sible.

Presbyterian Unit Calls
War a Necessary One

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA. April "a vast ma
jority of Christians believe this
country is engaged in a necessary
war" a committee of the Presby-
terian Church in the United States
declared today in report which
urged performance of duty to the
Nation lin the most faithful man
ner."
The report, expected to be adopted
as the stand of the church at its
general assembly in Knoxville, Tenn,
May %, asserted:
The church must by no means
lose sympathy for the Christian who
feels that he cannot conscientiously
engage in war and should defend
his right to hold this position so long
as he recognizes that he does owe
an obligation to his government. 3"
1T is difficult" it added. for us
to escape the conclusion that our
hopes for just world order, the
continuance of the democratic way
of life and the very freedom of the
church to continue her world mis-
sion are definitely at stake in this
conflict"
The postwar period was foreseen
as "a time of unparalleled moral and
spiritual danger, but also of great
and challenging opportunities for
the church"

however, did not categorically reaf-
firm his previous opposition to elm
mating time and a half pay for
work beyond 40 hours.
On the subject Of hours. Mr..
Roosevelt indicated that he did not
think that war workers should work
more than 48 hours week.
He said studies in Europe dur
ing and since the World War had
shown that the average person turns
out more goods working 48 hours
than by working go hours a week.
He wished people would get that
into their heads, he emphasized,
adding he believed it was Henry
Ford who said that work over 48
hours, or was it A, did not count
as an addition to production.
Reminded at the outset OF the
discussion that he had said month

made on the advisability Of adding

established on prices and rents, Mr..
Roosevelt threw no light on thdr

Sales Tax; Murray
Urges Rejection
Proposal lnflotionory,
6. |. O. President Tells
House Committee
BY the ASSnciaten Press

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt is still not
inclined toward a sales tax to help
finance the war.
Mr.. Roosevelt was asked at his
press conference yesterday whether
he had figured what his taxes would
be under the Treasurys recon-
mendations for $500 ,0OO,0 900 in new
revenue, to be raised chiefly through
increased personal and corporation
income levies, excess profits levies
and excise taxes.
He replied that he had not fig
ured them for next year, that they
we're bad enough now.
DO they incline you toward q
sales taX?" he was asked.
No. he responded, adding with a
laugh that he took this position
in spite of personal hardships.
The Presidents view on a general
sales tax-Which has gained favor
in some congressional quarters as
substitute for the Treasury's
recommendations-came at about
the same time that C. I. o. Of
f1cials urged House committee to
reject the sales proposal.
Philip Murray, c. I. o. president,
in a statement read to the Ways
and Means Committee, strongly op-
posed a sales tax as inflationary
and suggested that the corporation
excess profits tax computations be
revised to remedy the vicious
abuses on war contracts now being
exposed by the committees of
Congress"
Julius Emspak, general secretary
treasurer of the C. I. o. United
Electrical and Machine Workers of
America, proposed that Federal per-
sonal income tax rates be placed "at
or near" 100 per cent above the
level of 100000 annually.
That is more than we pay our
President" he said 1T is more than
we pay our top military personnel;
and there can be no sound case for
any individuals claiming that he is
worth more to the Nation than, say,

"Libels Against Labor"
Federal Security Administrator
McNutt. who addressed the same
rally, sounded a somewhat similar
note He deplored what he termed
"libels against labor" saying that
labor by voluntarily waving the
right to strike, has assured the Ma
ton of uninterrupted production of
war materials as far as labor is con-
cerned"
One aspect of the wage-hour con-
troverSy - the matter of overtime
pay for the week end and holiday
work-came in for positive action
almost at the same time at a war
conference of c. I. O's United Auto
mobile Workers in Detroit.
The delegates, who spoke for more
than 10000 workers in the auto and
aircraft factories of the country,
voted unanimously to waive all
premium pay for week end and
holiday work during the war, except
when such work constitutes a sixth
or seventh consecutive working day.
Accompanying the decision. how
ever. was a demand that manufac-
turers be compelled to make equal
sacrifices" in foregoing excess
profits" on war orders.
President Roosevelt, in letter
to this gathering, had written the
auto workers that premium pay for
holiday or weekend work puts a
brake" on wartime production and
helps our enemies"
