BETTING TAX VOTED

Committee meUlbers declined 70
say whether Nelson's letter was
likely to precipitate change In
the tentative decision on excess
profits. Other decisions remaining
are the proposed excise taxes OF
soft drinks. candy and chewing
gum.
Late yesterday, the committee,
voted 10 impose excise taxes on
pari-mutuel betting. on freight and
express shipments and to eliminate
the annual $4,000. 900 government
subsidy for handling OF newspa-
pers and periodicals as second
class mail.
The pari-mutuel tax was fixed
at per cent of the wager to raise
an estimated SIS. 100000. The
transportation tax would be S per
cent of the shipping charge to pro-
lduce an est ina ed $50 0O0, 900
ANNUALLY. The committee also ap-
proved extension OF the present
$40 annual slot and pinball machine
tax on all coin-operated gaming
and amusement devices. It yields
S5 600, 900 annually.
At the instance Of the admins
ltration and house leaders, the COM
lmittee has virtually decided not 10
attempt TO bring the revenue pro-
gram up to the treasury's goal by
the medium OF the sales tax.
House leaders expected to have
the bill ready the week beginning
July 6 and indicated that IL the
administration later decides that
more revenue is necessary, sales
tax will be considered separately.

Contract Changes.
Rebates Make Profit
Estimates impossible

Despite rapidly mounting pro-
duction Of military items by auto
mobile and parts companies in re-
cent months, the forward prospect
for a great many manufacturers
is obscure. a survey discloSeS.
Large forward bookings are
proving to be no guarantee of
corresponding profits nor can they
longer be regarded as a warranty
that production plans may not be
seriously dislocated a week or a
month hence.
About the only generalization
that probably viii hold up over
months ahead is that corporations
that are we'll fortified with a wide
diversity of war business may be
expected 10 demonstrate greatest
earnings stability. Even such cor
porationS, however, are facing
possibility Of being asked 10 re-
figure their contract prices 10 pass

cient production methods.
The situation confronting the
auto parts industry is in many re-
sDectS no clearer than II was
after the first of the year. APP
praisal of earning prospects Of in
dustry or of particular companies
is equally. if not more difficult,
than il was six months ago.

FURTHER UNCERTAINTY

A further element of uncer.
tainty that has developed as auto
and parts companies have struck
their production stride is the
problem Of adjusting prices on
war work. which in many in
stances have been found 10 be out
Of line with actual costs. Savings
effected by mass production tech
niques and new manufacturing
methods have been very large and
are constantly being passed along
10 the government in the form OF
lower prices.

reduction by Continental Motors

they may be made. complicate any

WASHINGTON, June Is (UP).
The new war tax program, which
has been cut from a revenue goal
of $500 100000 to $3.50, 900 900
by the House ways and means
committee. maybe reduced further
II WPB Chairman Donald M. Nell
sons proposal to reduce the pro-
jected excess profits tax Is ac-
|cepted.
The question of an excess prof
its tax and an individual withhold
ing tax are the only remaining
major problems to be settled be-
fore the bill goes 10 the House
floor. The administration is urg-
ing quick action so that higher
excise taxes can be put into effect.
Nelson warned the committee In
a letter to Chairman Robert l.
Doughton CD of North Carolina,
yesterday. that the tentatively ap-
proved "a per cent excess profits
tax threatened TO impair the war
effort. He urged that the rate be
reduced to so per cent and that,
il il is higher than that, q postwar
credit be allowed corporations 70
tide them over the reconstruction

ORDERS INCREASED

Since January ], auto and parts
industries have gone through a
period of tremendously increased
orders which occurred in January
March quarter. Conversion now is
an accomplished fact in most
plants whereas three or four
months ago it was major prob
lem. Manufacturing schedules call
for eventual production having a
a dollar value of two 10 three
times the highest peacetime rate
industry has ever reached.
But with rhe passing of the con-
version problem others have arisen
or promise to develop shortly. One
of the most important may be in
connection with the newly an
nounced government aim of ac-
commodatlng war production 10
war strategy not only in this
country but also in Great Britain.
Whereas until now the major OBJ
jective of both nations has been
TO get maximum production Of
every possible armament item, the
guiding principle henceforth will
be to exercise a considerable de-
gree of selectivity regarding prod
ucts to be produced.
Thus. production of long range
bornbers may be pushed TO a maxi
mum in United States because
they are easily transported under
their own power 10 England. Rus
sia and the Far East Because OF
transportation difficulty involved
in getting various types of fight
ing planes 10 war fronts, their
production in England might be
stimulated and correspondingly
reduced here.
CITE MURRAY, BRIGGS
How the changing war strategy
may affect individual companies
producing war goods is eXempli-
fed by the situation confronting
Murray Corporation and Briggs,
both OF which have been working
on large contracts for parts for
one particular bomber on which
production is 10 be discontinued
when present contracts are com
pleted next September. Briggs has
a considerable diversity of war
jobs and expects 10 be able 10 fill
the gap quickly and without any
appreciable adverse effect on ship
rnents. Murray has been given
compensating work on parts for
another type of plane but several
months will be needed for tooling
Meanwhile, Murray's shipments
are expected to decline starting in
September and probably will not
fully recover lost ground until at
or after the first of next year.
Lower shipments will result in de-
creasing earnings for the period
needed for the changeover.
Another example of how chang
ing war strategy in some in
stances may be a barrier 10 con-
tinuing production is afforded by
one Of the smaller companies
here. This company recently re-
ceived a congratulatory cablegram
from General Macarthur on the
performance record Of its particu-
lar war product.
FURTHER UNCERTAINTY

tainty that has developed as auto
and parts companies have struck
their production stride is the

Hate On The Wane

Courage of a high ORDER symbol of Americas deter
mnatiOn to win the purposes of this is reflected the
Federal Governments action in obtaining Indictment
last week against twenty individuals charged with
undermining the effort Represented the list
many whose antiSemc records go back many years. All
of them charged with trying to Obsruct and defeat
the war effort Since number of those accused of sed
ton already started their Jail terms it may be
assumed that the Justice Department is equipped with the
facts to sustain the charge in the Indictment.
The language used in the indictment is broad It
brings into it's net however, comparatively small fry
though many of them have played vicious role in
propagandzing antiSemitic, anCathoc and antiNegro
sentiments not to speak of their proxs bias There are
in the United States several newspaper publishers who con-
troll powerful dailies chains of daies An examination
of the language in of their and editorial columns
will disclose great difference between their slant
Americas effort and that of the who ndc
ed for "a systematic campaign of personal vcaton and
defamation of the public officials of the United States Gov
eminent . to convince the armed forces that "such
public officials traitorous, corrupt dishonest ncompe
tent un-American and mentally unbalanced Perhaps
when these cases are decided the Justice Department may
complete it's program to still the voices OF dsunty which
jeopardize the winning Of the war.
While this indictment was handed up, Attorney Gen
era Francis Bdde expressing his philosophy in the
Free World. After emphasizing that yes, even IN the
DemOcracies there individuals who share the outlook
Of fascist world" Mr.. Biddle declared that theology rat
than nationality must determine who the enemy alien IS
He realizes that there is hatred of the Negro the Jew and
other minority groups but hese AxspOnsOred concepts

the country Mr.. Bidde is making an historic
contribution toward that end, we hope.

Jews Who Pay

startling charge, if true, is made by William Brad
ford Huie novelist and associate editor of the American
Mercury, in declaring that Gerald L. X Smith, rabberOus
ing publisher of The Cross And The Flag has had cOnrbu
tons to his work from Eat least ten prominent Jews At
least that the claim made by the DetrOiter who is
running for the Republican nomination for the United
States Senate Mr.. Hues revelation is contained in
sharply etched portrait of the Smith in the
rent American Mercury.
Mr. HUE personally went he reports, to zone of the
most successful Jewish lawyers in Detroit who declared
that he mot worried about Smiths anti-Semitism
This gentleman also aegedy declared that there's
Of trying to make anSeites out of all these isolation
lists and Roosevelt-haters"
The best to this unidentified Detroit Jew
provided by the Federal Government when listed The
Cross And The Flag Smiths publication along with other
antiSemtc prOAxis organs, having been used in the
conspiracy to undermine Americas effort for which u
men and were indicted in Washington.
Even Jew can be exponent of Fascist doctrine.
This fundamental truth not always realized by the Jewish
community which, in following Jewish leadership forgets
that Attorney General Bidde has well said ideo
ogy and not nationality which separates people, Any Jew
who look upon the degradation of labor and not protest.
and Jew who view with indifference the humiliation and
the oppression Of the Negro Jew who think Of the
despoaton and destruction of the rights of any other
cial religious or national group without recognizing that
which Jewish life exists have been undermined-hat Jew
has all the stgmata of a Fascist.
One wonders whether 'the successful Jewish lawyer
Detroit whom Mr. HUE refers is saing his conscience
by contributing large funds to civicprOtecve agencies
