by tnuS giving Congress a
chance to act on the farm price
issue in particular, the President
avoided raising a major contro-
versy over the extent of his war
time powers, such as had been
threatened by reports that he in
tended to proceed Immediately in
disregard of the congressional
prohibition on some far price
ceilings.
Urges Speed on Tax Measure.
In contrast to widespread predic-
tions, the President provided no adj
ministrative formula for controlling
living costs. He made no mention of
any all-powerful board, apparently
with the thought that Congress
could work out the methods for con-
trolling the anti-inf1ation campaign.
or leave it to him to work out later.
Mr.. Roosevelt's message also urged
speedy action on the tax program.
reiterating that individual incomes
should be held by taxation to ap-
proximately $25, 5000 year, and said
that other action-including ration-
ing of whatever additional products
may be necessary-is being taken to
carry out the anti-inflation program
he outlined in April.
The President recalled, in his mes.

Nation Sticks 10 Job
As Labor Day Reply
To Axis Challenge
VitoI War Plants Hum;
Capitol and Whole u. S.
CurtuiI Ceremonies

The working man of the Ma
ton gave his Labor Day answer
to the Axis challenge today by
keeping the wheels of war indus
tries turning at full speed.
Throughout the Nation, as In
Washington, all celebrations were
to be brief and designed not to in
terfere with operations OF vital war
plants.
Traditional Labor Day parades
were few and oratory was cut to a
minimum. Highlight of the Labor
Day addresses will be President
Rooseyelt's fireside chat over a
Nationwide radio hookup at $50
o'clock tonight.
Agencies Here Work Today.
In Washington, 10 Government
agencies directly connected with the
war effort were at work and war
plants in this area had no stoppage.
Retail establishments, with the ex-
ception of drug stores, were closed.
However, hundreds of thousands
are going home for the long week
end holiday and railroads, bus lines
and highway police expect traffic to
reach a peak somewhere around
nightfall.
An early morning rain threatened
to dampen the holiday for thou
sands who came to the Capital for
Labor Day. Occasional showers were
predicted for the remainder of the
day and tonight.
With the American worker busy
at winning the war, highway fatali-
ties fell far below the customary
figure, the Associated Press re-
ported.
Violent deaths from all causes re-
ported in the Nation since 6 pm.
Friday until today totaled 1854, COM
pared to 626 listed by the Associated
Press for the entire 1941 Labor Day
week end.
Traffic Deaths Nearby.
Although the National Safety
Council predicted 400 highway
deaths and permanent disability to
loo more over the week end, only
los deaths were reported from high
way accidents. Last year there were
423 for the entire holiday.
There were no highway deaths in
the District, but Virginia had seven
and Maryland one.
Traffic experts accredited the i'm
proved safety showing to curtailed
automobile travel due to tire and
gasoline rationing and the "work-as-
usual" policy of the war plants.
From Washington, a dozen towns

Roosevelt Text
Initiation Curb Asked
To Assure Victory

The tert OF President Roose-
Delt's message to Congress today
on onti-infation measures fol-
loDs..
Four months ago, on April 27,
1912, I laid before the Congress a
seven-point national economy policy
designed to stabilize the domestic
economy of the United States for
the period OF the war. The objective
of that program was to prevent any
substantial further rise In the cost
of living.
1t is not necessary for me to
enumerate again the disastrous re-
suits of runaway cost of living
disastrous to all of us, farmers,
laporers, businessmen-the Nation
itself. When the cost of living
spirals upward, everybody becomes
poorer, because the money he has
and the money he earns buys so
much less.
At the same time the cost of the
war, paid ultimately from taxes of
the people, is needlessly increased by
many billions of dollars. The ma
tional debt, at the end of the war,
would become unnecessarily greater.
Indeed, the prevention of spiraling
domestic economy is a vital part of
the winning of the war itself.
Seven-Point Program Reviewed.
I reiterate the seven point pro-
gram which presented April 27,
1912:
l. To keep the cost OF living
from spiraling upward we must tax
heavily, and in that process keep
personal and corporate profits at a
reasonable rate, the word reason
able" being defined at low level.
2. To keep the cost OF living from
spiraling upward we must fix CELL
ings on the prices which consumers,
retailers, wholesalers and manufac-
turers pay for the things they buy;
and ceilings on rents for dwellings
in all areas affected by war indus
tries.
3. To keep the cost of living from
spiraling upward we must stabilize
the remuneration received by indi-
viduals for their work.
4. To keep the cost of living from
spiraling upward we must stabilize
the prices received by growers for
the products of their lands.
S. To keep the cost OF living from |
spiraling upward we must encourage |
all citizens to contribute to the cost |
of winning this war by purchasing |
War bonds with their earnings in |
