Urges Rutioning and

By the Associated Press.

WINTERPARK, Fla, Feb. g.
Eldridge Haynes Of New York, pub
Usher Of the magazine Modern In
dustry, predicted today that PRO
duction of civilian goods in 1912
will fall ut least Is per cent below
the volume produced In 1882, the
worst year Of our depression"
Prices will rise in spite of the
new price control law unless ra-
tioning is instituted and taxes are
increased, Eldridge said in an ad-
dress prepared for delivery before
the seventh annual Economic Con-
ference Of Rollins College.
while war production will take
about halt of the goods we produce,
1t Is lining the pockets of workers
and farmers with more money than
they have ever before received in
our history" he said. Thus the
national income will rise in 1942 by
at least 10 per cent and possibly by
as much as is per cent. Yet our
new taxes plus the most optimistic
forecast of defense bond sales will
barely soak up the increased ma
tional income. What will consumers
do, particularly the wage earners
and farmers. with as many spend
able dollars as they had last year?"
he asked.
Haynes proposed higher taxes to
hold the mounting public debt to q
minimum and to prevent price in
flation; also rationing of scarce
goods so as to divide what will be
available fairly among consumers
and to halt boarding and illegal
price increases

Treasury War Costs
Above 7 Billions
In January
s3oo,ooo, 900 Jump
From December Mark
Is Announced
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
War costs of the Treasury reached
$2,100.7H, AS in January. the first
full month Of the conflict.
This was nearly $500, 900 900 more
than WAS spent in December, and
represented q doubling in the speed
OF defense-war expenditures in about
six months.
The January total brought such
expenditures in the first seven
months Of the fiscal year to $10,3l4,-
940, 1872. This was q little less than
half the $23, oct, ,525, 400 which presi-
dent Roosevelt predicted in his
budget message would be spent this
fiscal year, indicating that the rate
Of expenditures is due for an even
greater speed-up In the next few
months. In the next fiscal year his
budget calls for a speed-up to an
eventual rate Of 5000, ,o00, 900 a
month.
The seven months total, however,
was more than four times as large
as defense expenditures In q similar
portion OF the last fiscal year.
Counting all Federal costs both for
defense-war and civilian activities,
the Treasury paid out in the last
seven months $l4.l83,827, ,573, took in
revenues Of $4,743,557,978 and had
q rd-breaking deficit Of 80, ,440,-
269 ,595. A year ago the deficit was
$3,028, ,174,979.
Unprecedented borrowing to pay
for the deficit boosted the Federal
debt to $60,0ll ,579,35l mark on jan
uary 81. Defense bond sales, which
aggregated over $1,000, 100000 in
January, were chiefly responsible
for the rise.

Conservative Policy
On Trusts Urged at
Bank Farley
Stockton Warns Against
Riskine Funds in
Wartime Babies
By the Associated F

By the Associated
NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Richard G.
Stockton, president of the trust
division Of the American Bankers
Association, today urged bankers
who handle the publics investment
funds to steer clear of "will-of-the-
wisp wartime babies"
Speaking at the annual Midwin-
ter Trust Conference Of the associa-
tion, Stockton, who is also vice
president of the Wachovia Bank &
Trust Co., Winston-Salem, N. c.,
said:
"As trust men one of the most
difficult problems facing us during
this war period and the postwar
period as well is the matter of in
vestments. The outstanding means
of assuring protection and greatest
efficiency on capital during these
times is strict adherence to sound
fundamental principles of invest
ment. -"
Temptations Seen.
During these war conditions
temptations will constantly arise to
switch investments solely on the
theory that dislocations and dis
placements will have an unfavorable
effect upon such holdings. Trustees
should remain firm in their deter
mination to place the financial well
fare of their beneficiaries in the
hands of companies which maintain
the highest efficiency in manage
ment."
Henry w Koeneke, president of
the association and of the Security
Bank of Ponca City, Okla, told the
conferees that enlarged financing of
the production of war goods and
promotion OF the sale of Defense
bonds were the major services banks
would have to provide the Nation.
DR.. Paul F. Cadman, economist of
the A. B. A., deprecated the action
in administrative quarters looking
to heavy taxation of undistributed
business profits or surplus.
They insist on considering it," he
said, "a fund instead of a statement
Of condition, and consequently they
propose that corporations should be
heavily penalized for earnings
which are not distributed to stock
holders. Apparently they cannot
comprehend that the only asset
which can be distributed is an item
called cash"
Simpler Words Favored.
Simpler legal documents involving
Investments that any intelligent
layman can understand on the first
reading were urged by Walter P.
Armstrong, president of the Ameri-
can Bar Association.
Armstrong suggested to the A. B.
A. lean, limpid, concise English"
in place of "longiloquent phrase
ology" from which the real intent
must be painstakingly extracted
from an overlaying mass of jargon"
that often puzzles the experienced
lawyer.

ONeil told stockholders at their

"Hysteria and panic have caused

their tire dealers for recapping. In
many nstances-maybe most in
stances-these tires have contained
thousands of miles of good rubber.
1t is as important to save this pro-
cessed rubber as it is to save the
crude rubber in the stock pile"
New Source Discussed.

possibility Of obtaining $4,000 to
100000 tons OF synthetic rubber q
year from now-unused product Of
the Florida Everglades-was ad-
vanced here by Clarence r. Biting,
president of the United States Sugar
Corp.
Biting said laboratory tests have
proved the product. which he de-
clined to identify, as the basic in
gredient for synthetic rubber, which
can be produced at from 40 to so
cents pound.
Mechanical installations to process
the product would cost about s7,000,-
900, said Biting, and production
could begin within year. His COM
pany is ready to go ahead with the
plan because a plastic can be made
from the same material after the
rubber shortage is relieved.

Three more referees are still needed to complete the staff according to Bill Derwin of the Park Department who will direct both the schoolboy circuits.
 There is not only need for ref erees but there is also certain to be a shortage of coaches before the season is very old.
