.2-Cent-Per-QuartRise
In Milk Price SOUGHT
By Nearby Producers
Association Says Boost
Is Necessary to Meet
Production Cost Increase

The Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association,
which supplies 80 per cent of the
milk consumed here, will ask the
Agriculture Department for a
2-cent per quart increase to en-
able farmers to meet rising pro-
duction costs and, correspond
ingly, to spur the output, B. B..
Derrick, manager of the associa-
ton, announced today. Direc-
tors of the group have decided
on this course and Secretary
Wickard will be asked to hold a
public hearing as soon as pos
sible to pass on the request, Mr..
Derrick said.
The District, which ordinarily
uses about 10000 gallons of milk
daily, is running around 1000 quarts
short, it was disclosed a few days
ago when Secretary Wickard modi-
fed marketing regulations in distant
sheds in an effort to get more milk
in here from outside sources.
Mr.. Derrick said that the 2-cent
increase-Which means SO cents per

all milk used by the distributors for
fluid milk and milk drinks. For
milk used as fluid cream, the asso-
citation proposes a f1uctuating price
based on the competitive prices of
imported cream. The Federal mar

Tor all milk, including fluid cream
used by the distributors. If the
associations new plan is approved
the price would go to 81 cents a
quart-S4.50 per hundredweight-
plus premiums, for all milk except
that used for fluid cream, for which
the price is based on outside cream.
Production Decline Cited.
The local dairy farmers" said
Mr.. Derrick, have been delaying
this move for price increase with
the hope that something would turn
up which would halt the relentless
decline in milk production. Since
early August our production has
been going down continuously, with
the result that today our local supply
of milk is practically one-fourth
short of the city's actual needs.
up until recently it has been
possible to make up for this deficit
by bringing in milk from other
cities. But now these other cities
need this milk to meet their own
fluid. demands. Our outside sup
plies have dropped from 10000
quarts per day to around 10000
quarts despite the combined efforts
of the industry here to obtain milk
from other sources.

States in 1914.
Tentative figures for the next fis-
cal year, beginning July /, 1943, were
described as already exceeding 500

velt sends his annual estimates to
Congress the first week in January

tent of when the war will end For
the coming year, the war managers
seek the maximum weapons and

should end sooner, the plans can be
Cancelled If the war goes past July

10 Billions This Year.
In the current year, the United
States is spending for itself and lease
lend slightly more than S7,000,00O,-
900. Much of this spending was i'm
provised as the war scene shifted,
because bombs fell on Pearl Harbor
right in the midst of last years
| budget making.
This year more careful planning
has been possible. Broad strategic
plans of how, when and where the
war will be fought are being made
up in the tightly guarded conference
rooms of the combined chiefs OF
staff.
The armed services and the Lease
lend Administration have taken
these plans and estimated the re-
quirements in supplies and other
! costs
The War Production Board and
other agencies have had time to cal
culate what the factories and mills
can produce and what new plants
are needed, and what projected
plants are not needed.
The President and his Budget
Bureau assistants, particularly Budg-
ct Director Harold D. Smith and
Assistant Director Wayne c. Coy,
have been sitting and resifting the
figures and throwing in the smaller
needs of other Government agencies.

This is one task that Mr.. Roose-
vent always has performed person.
ally though this year he may not
have time to red-pencil the budget
in such minute detail as before.
In an overall sense, the budget is
expected officially to represent an
estimate of the maximum output of
all war industries and suppliers.
Generals and agency heads may de-
bate how to split this production be-
tween airplanes and ships and
tanks. but however they divide the
pile, they, expect to get as much as
possible.
Another new factor in this years
budgetmaking is the figuring of
price levels. Economic Sterilization
Director James F. Byrnes and Price
Administrator Henderson thus are
having at least an indirect voice in
determining the size of the budget.
Failure on their part to hold down
prices might make the same pro-
gram now contemplated cost $1l0,-

President Plans
Limitation on
InvestmentP Paw
Extension of $4,000
Ceiling to Be Asked
Of New Congress
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
President Roosevelt plans to
ask the new Congress to extend
the $25, 900 net salary limitation
to investment income, beginning
in 1943.
An informed official said today
the President believed that all types
of earnings should be limited for
the duration, but had omitted in
vestment income from his executive
order because he was informed the
Wage Sterilization Act gave him no
authority in that field.
AS put into effect by James F.
Byrnes, economic director, the ex-
ecutive limitation bans the payment
by any company or the receipt by
any individual of a gross yearly
salary of more than $4,000. This
is calculated to leave S25 900 net
after payment of Federal income tax
on the whole amount of gross salary.
There was no comparable limita-
ton. however, on the income re-
ceived from investments, and this
was one of the points made by
Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee in assailing the
order as "unWise and unnecessary"
President Said Determined.
Despite this and other criticisms
in Congress, the President was rep
| resented as being determined to
force reductions in the higher in
come brackets. a move long de-
manded by the Congress of Indus
trial Organizations.
He was expected to recommend
that the problem be handled
through taxation in the next rev.
enue bill, thus bringing the whole
question squarely before Congress.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan told reporters he was
confident that if the President fol-
loewd this course he would run into
strong congressional opposition.
1t appeared meanwhile that en-
! forcement of the salary order was
likely to be centered for practical
purposes on curbing the payment
of more than $4,000 gross, rather
than on efforts to make the S25,0OO
ceiling effective in all cases.
Credits Allowed.
Under the salary limitation for
mula in regulations issued by Mr..
Byrnes October 81, most persons
with the $4,000 gross salary act
ually would have more than S25.OO0
left after payment of income taxes.
For purposes of the limitation
order, the allowable salary after
payment of income taxes is de-
termined by applying the Federal
levies to the gross salary, without
any allowances for credits or
normal deductions for such things
as State taxes. This sets the top
gross limit of $4,000 since Federal
taxes on that sum next year would
amount to S42, 200, leaving a net
$4,000. However, in actually pay
ing his income taxes, a person in
volved would take credit for some
deductions, and so have more than
S25 900 left.
Additional salary is permitted to
cover insurance and debt pay
mentS and contributions to charity
in cases where an employe can
establish that his income from all
sources is insufficient to meet such
payments without undue hardship.
