EAST BUFFALO
Sees Heavy Burden
Senator Browns Municipal Tax Stand Hit
See $780, 900 as Detrot's Bill

WASHINGTON. Oct. 9 (UP).-
Senator Warren r. Austin (R) OF
Vermont told the Senate that fed
eral taxation OF future issues of
state and municipal bonds, as
proposed by the Senate finance
committee. eventually would add
SIC, 000.000 q year to the cost OF
maintaining New York City's gov
eminent and $500, 900 on Detroit.
Speaking in support OF an
amendment 10 the 1912 tax bill by
Senator Harold Fl. Burton (R) OF
Ohio to continue the present tax
exemption OF such bonds, Austin
said experts estimate the increased
interest cost--if income from the
bonds is taxed by the federal gov
ernment-at about 1 per cent.
He said that the measure even
tually would add S1.600.000 to city
financing costs in Baltimore, S.

Jersey City and Sl95. 900 in Tren-

Motorists Warned
to Check on All
Substitutes Sold
BY sILER FREEMAN

The vital need for caring for
and prolonging the life of cars Is
bringing out many substitutes, a
large majority of which have
been found to be ineffective and
in some cases harmful. The
American Automobile Associa-
ton has been active in sorting
out the good from the bad and
checking the qualities OF substi-
tute supplies. accessories and
equipment being offered to car
owners.
A big field for gyps is in anti
freezes. The AAA contest board
submitted samples offered on
the market to analyze and dis
covered that in one instance the
anti-freeze mixture was inflam-
mable. deteriorated the rubber
hose and connections and caused
overheating OF the motor.
A secret formula" for gaso-
line substitutes proved 10 be
mixtures of heavy fuel oil with
some volatile or lighter fractions
added, which are more strictly
rationed now than gasoline itself.
Another anti-freeZe was found
to be only a salt solution which
would cause corrosion OF metals.
would clog radiator cores and
cause ignition short circuits.
So watch out what you buy as
a substitute.

OUTBID BY AXIS

Before the Brazilian declaration
of war against the Axis. Dove said
he was certain that the Axis pow
IerS were doubling and TRIPPING the
American offer for rubber. He
emphasized that most South Amer
leans preferred to deal with the
United States but could not refuse
the higher prices Of the Axis.
Another serious mistake made
by the United States. Dove said
was that in attempting to obtain
rubber from Latin American coun-
tries it has dealt only with the
various governments, and never
with private enterprise. He said
that prevented individual firms
from ever competing against each
other for this nations business.
Dove said payment by the
United States of AZ cents pound
for crude rubber was defiance"
of the law of supply and demand.
"Our government expects to
obtain more rubber for 40 cents
pound from South America
than we did In World War l for
So a pound" he said.
HUGE SUPPLY
The rubber output of South
America, he said, would exceed by
more than 100000 tons the esti-
mate set by the Baruch rubber
committee as the needs OF the
nation during the coming Is
months of the war.
He asserted that 5000. 900, 900
pounds of crude rubber could be
tanned from the Brazilian
Amazon Basin alone, and that no
estimate has yet been made OF
the rubber which could be OBJ
tanned from Bolivia, Ecuador,
Colombia, Venezuela. and other
Latin American nations.
Dove cited the address made
last January by the president OF
Brazil, in which he told Brazilians
that a price of 81 a pound would
revive the industry and cause
hundreds of thousands OF laborers
to return to the rubber areas, pro-
vided that this increase in price
was reflected in the provision OF
an adequate living wage to the
laborer,"
He concluded by advocating ap-
pointment of a competent military
leader-with at least the rank of
brigadier general-to deal with
the people of South America for
their supplies of rubber. The Off
cial. he said, should be familiar
with South American customs,
language. and the temperament
of the people. as well as have a
thorough knowledge of the rub
Der situation.
