The treasury staff launched
its direct attack on either a
manufacturer wholesalers or
retail sales levy at an extraor-
binary meeting of the commit
tee last night, with statements
by Randolph Paul, Secretary
Morgenthau' tax adviser, and
James w. Martin, University of
Kentucky economist now a
treasury consultant.
Members said that while the
treasury originally held that a
retail sales tax would be the
most Objectionable form of any
such levy, Paul declined to
choose among them last night
and, in fact, Martin said that
from the administrative stand
point a retail sales tax would be
the least Objectionable.

Washington told me the other
day that the country with the
biggest scrap piles will win the

REVENUE ESTIMATED

Z
The treasury estimated two
months ago that a per cent re-
tail sales tax, exempting gov
eminent purchases, would pro-
duce S2,500,000,000.
Having tentatively disposed of
new corporation and individual
income AK proposals, the COM
mittee has run squarely into the
alternatives of accepting treas
ury recommendations for in
creaSing excise taxes by more
than ST ,000,000,000 or adopting
some form of sales tax.
Members said, meanwhile,
that the treasury shortly would
present a sharp downward re-
vision of its March 3 estimates
that its program of new excuses
would produce 81, 340,000,000.
1t was learned that one of the
major changes would be in Nor
genthau's request for a doub-
ling Of the present Il
cent gasoline tax, which he
said would produce $242, 000,-
600.
DETAILS LACKING
Details of the treasury pre-
sentation last night were not
Immediately available, but
chairman Doughton (D-NC) of
the committee told newspaper
men that Paul had said that a
tremendous increase in treasury
personnel would be required for
administration of a retail sales
tax.
He said that the committee
probably would discuss first the
treasurys excise program but
he added that it was absolutely
certain that a sales tax is going
to be considered by the commit
tee"
The committees night ses-
sion followed close on its deci-
sion to reject a treasury pro-
posal that estate and gift taxes
be increased to bring S330,000,-
600 into the treasury.
The members decided to retain
the present rates but previous
ly agreed to the treasury's re-
commentator that a uniform
100000 estate tax exemption be
substituted for the present COM
bined 100000 exemption-bas-
ed on $4,000 of life insurance
and $4,000 of other real and
personal property.

EFFECT 0F WAR'
 NEWS DESCRIBED.
Prof. Mark A. May to In. terpret News for Yale
 Sunday Evening

New Haven, Conn, June 4-The effect on the American people of news reports from Washington in wartime will be discussed by Prof. Mark A. Day, director of the Yale Institute of Human Relations and noted psychologist, on "Yale Inter- prets the News" on Sunday, June 2. This public service program of news analysis is presented each Sunday at 6:45 p. m. over station WTIC in Hartford in cooperation with Yale university.
 Prof. May is at present teaching 8 course in social psychology which is concerned in part with problems of morale, and is 6 frequent speaker for the New Haven defense council on means of averting panics. He is member of the Connecticut State Board of Education and is a former chairman of the American Council on Education.
 "Yale 1nterprets the News" is de- signed to give background for a bet- ter understanding of history as 1t is being made today. Its choice of speakers is dictated by world events since 1t is the aim of the program to give interpretation of the most important aspects of the weeks news.

not received any such reassuring news nor could opinions be secured as to when or If such wholesale per- mits would be given for Waterbury construction.
 This weeks order from the WIPE covered more than 100000 housing units spread over 25 states. Pubh- city and privately financed units arc included.
 A number of defense housing pro- jects are under consideration here in Waterbury. Any number of plan- ned private dwellings here also await official confirmation. Whether it will be forthcoming is more or less doubtful as few, if any, ap- provals of plans have been obtain ed from Hartford in recent weeks.
 Private home construction is now limited to a $6,0o0 total, but until such time as approval of plans sub- mitted is obtained actual work on the same cannot start.
 The War Production Board claims that the present demand for lum- Der. is in excess of supplies, hence their delay in granting permission for home construction. Many con- tractors though, claim that the lun- Der supply is adequate, admitting, however, @ scarcity of other essen- tials to home development.

WAR PLANTS BACK
 NURSING SERVICE
Industrial Plan to Save Precious Hours of Labor
 Adopted

Industrial nursing services today must 90 far beyond the emergency care of injuries in order to main- tain an essential war ratio of eigh- teen healthy workers on the pro- duction front to each man on the firing line, Rowena Belden, R. N, nursing consliltant, Bureau of In- dustrial Hygiene, borught out in the weekly broadcast of the State De- partment of Health.
 One of the most important func- tions of plant medical and nurs- ing services is thep romotion of health and accident prevention, she said. Many plants require an ex- animation by their physician oi every applicant before employment so that workers can be placed or jobs which they are physically able to handle. By discovering and cor recting physical defects beforehand accidents, illness and lost time from these causes may often be pre- vented.
 It would be foolhardy, Miss Bell den explained, to put worker with defective eye sight on an important job inspecting vitally needed war products, or to employ person who does not have good depth percep- ton as 8 crane operator.
