tain 100000 900 in new revenues
by lowering income tax exemptions.
Saying the Treasury plan would
place a terrific burden" on the low
income groups, Senator George pre-
dicted that Congress would be forced
to turn instead to some new form
of taxation, such as a withholding
or sales levy. OF the two, he said
he preferred a withholding tax.
The Treasury last week proposed
to the House Ways and Means Com
mittee that exemptions for single
persons be lowered from $3.50 to 5000
and for married persons from 81 500
to 81 200. The s4oo credit for each
dependent would be reduced to
$500.
Senator George said a per cent
withholding tax would produce
about $25O0,00 900. AS he ex-
planned it, the tax would be de-
Quoted monthly by employers and
forwarded to the Government.
The George plan was reported to
have considerable backing among
House members as well as Senators,
since it would provide direct and
speedy check on inflationary spend
ing.
Ways and Means Committee mem
bers scheduled consideration of the
individual income brackets of the
new tax bill this week.
The House, meanwhile, arranged
to consider Senate-approved bill
which would double the S21 monthly
pay for the Army "buck" privates
and provide increases in pay and
allowances for ratings up to and
including second lieutenants.

glowing presence will be missed, not
only in Senate chamber and cathe-

the ministry of Christian comfort

Ford Urges Freezing

Union Charges Profiteers
Are Tokine Advantage
Of War Emergency
by the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, May 1.-THE Ford
Motor Co. lined up today beside other
advocates of wage freezing for the
wars duration in advance of an an
ticipated demand from the c. 1. O. s
United Auto Workers for a $1a-day
increase.
Personnel Chief Harry H. Bennett
outlining the company's views in a
formal statement, observed that
due to the fact that the Govern
ment is freezing everything else,
there doesn't seem to be any occa-
sion for an increase in salary at this
time"
THE Ford Motor Co. Mr.. Ben
nett said, ''is going to ask that wages
be frozen for the duration of the
war"
Immediately on learning the Ford
attitude the unions National Ford
Council, meeting here to draw up
new contract demands, went on
record opposing completely" any
efforts to freeze wages and advo-
eating adjudication Of all wage dis
putes by the War Labor Board If
management and labor negotiations
fail.
High Living Cost Cited.
The council, in a resolution which
made no reference to the Ford Co..
charged that "profiteers who have
used the emergency to advance
hooIcNr,o t,roffc of
the expense of the general public
and the war effort are now crying
for wage freezing in order to con-
tinue their profits"
The council claimed that the cost
of living in the United States had
increased 13 per cent within the last
year, "far outstripping" wage in
creases and forcing a loss in real
wages" for workers
Mr.. Bennett's statement, in which
the company also refused other
expected union demands and threat
ened to seek elimination of the
union shop, followd a union officials
proposal that the dollar "a day wage
boost be sought.
Such a proposal was received by
the U. A. VIC. I. 0. Ford Council
from Richard T. Leonard, director of
the unions Ford division. Within q
few weeks the union and company
will start negotiations over a new
contract covering $4,000 workers.
Further discussing wages. Mr..
Bennett said.
I'm view of the fact that the Gov
ernment is the sole customer of the
Ford Motor Co. at the present time,
any increase in wages naturally
would mean an increase in the cost
of whatever we are producing for
the Government That would merely
increase the cost of our war effort
to that extent"
Mr.. Bennett said that if the union
insisted on the wage increase and
"other demands which would in
crease our costs" the company
might be Obliged to refuse to COL
lect dues for the union by eliminat-
ing the check of from our contract
The unions Ford Council, depart
ing from its Ford problems, adopted
a resolution pledging support to C..
I. o. President Philip Murray after
an attack on John L. Lewis by the
q. A. VIC. I. o. president, R. j.
Thomas. The Ford Council repre-
sents SIS Ford plants in the country.
Because Philip Murray wants to
support the President of the United
States in the present war emer-
gency," Mr. Thomas said, there is
threat of his losing his member
