q bill designed to permit some Of the
$500, 900 900 Congress has author
lied to be appropriated for defense

were discussed.
Introduction of the measure will
be followed by public hearings which
Mr.. Lanham told Representative
Randolph would be expedited be-
cause of the seriousness of the hous-
ing shortage here. Members of Mr..
Randolph's committee have been
invited to sit with the Buildings
and Grounds Committee during the
hearings.
A statement issued by Mr.. RAN

CLEVELAND, Jan. A.-Pleading
that remaining tax loopholes be
plugged, Treasury Secretary Nor
genthau declared today I'VE have no
more right to fall short" Of the
Presidents goal of - 900 900 900 In
new revenue than of the 10000
planes and 5000 tanks he asks this
year.
Attacking tax-exempt securities
and other "glaring examples" Mr..
Morgenthau asserted almost q bill
lion dollars Of taxes must be passed
onto the shoulders OF the rest of
us" each year because q few thou
sand individuals escape their fair
share Of the burden. He continued: ::
How can the war efforts of our
people reach their peak level until
such q situation has been remedied? Z?
When We are drafting young
men to hight and risk their lives for
their country, any special privilege
for a few becomes inexcusable. sss
Would Close Loopholes First.
I'VE need nine billion dollars in
additional. revenue; should like the
very frst billion Of that amount TO
be obtained by closing the remain
ing loopholes."
Pointing out that although is
suance Of tax-exempt Federal secur-
tiles was ended last year, interest
from State and municipal bonds re-
mains exempt from Federal income
tax, the Treasury head added in an
address drafted for Cleveland's City
Club:
This provision gives wealthy tax
payers a possible refuge. not from
some income tax, but from all in
come taxes
1T Is high time. in my opinion,
to tax the income Of State and mu-
nicipal securities-not only the in
come from future issues. but also
the income from those issues now
outstanding.
A&sails Other Systems.
Mr.. Morgenthau also attacked the
community property system of tax
discrimination" in nine states; sep
arate income tax returns for hus-
band and wife. and percentage de-
pletion provisions which he said
permit owners of mines and oil wells
to deduct for depreciation far more
than the amount Of money which
they have put into the property FOR
conduct of their business"
first address in SIX weeks. He said,
this Is not the time for me to dis
cuss the new tax program. The
President has said that we must
have nine billion dollars In new rev.
enue. We have no more right to fall
short Of that goal than we would
have to fall short OF the PRESIDENT s

u. 5. Orders ASK Cut
In Radio, Phonograph
Output for Civilians
Reduction Covers 80
!. Days; New Receivers
To Have Fewer Tubes
3y the Associated Press.

Dy the Associated Press.
The War Production Board di-
rected radio and phonograph
makers today to cut their output
for civilian use by nearly one
half during the next three
months, and indicated that the
major companies soon would be
on a 100 per cent war production
footing.
- The board requested the industry
to undertake $4,000 900 900 in mill
tary contracts. including field radios
and sets to be installed in the 1885,
600 planes and 10000 tanks the
President has called for. Most of
the sets will be made by large pro-
ducers.
4. To free manufacturing facilities
for this output, the w. P. B. ordered
producers whose output exceeded
$1,000,000 during the first nine
months of l941 to cut their civilian
use production by As per cent dur
ing the next 80 days. The smaller
plants. those whose sales were less
than $1,000, 900, were directed to
curtail their output by IS per cent.
Metals Will Be Saved.
In addition to providing facilities
for military work, the w. P. B. said.
the order will save an estimated
750 tons of copper, 100 tons OF
aluminium and 3,4O0 tons Of steel in
the next 80 days.
Similar decreases were ordered IN
the number Of tube sockets in each
OF the radio sets produced, which
will result in correspondingly fewer
tubes in radios for civilian use.
The board concluded after talks
with manufacturers that substan-
tial reductions could be made in
civilian production without affecting
public safety and morale. In all
likelihood supplies will be available
for the repair and maintenance OF
existing civilian radio equipment,
the w. P. B. said.
Many Agencies Unaffected.
The order does not aHect produc-
ton for Government Defense agen-
cies besides the Army and Navy,
nor for lease-lend requirements,
police departments "or similar
agencies of public authority in the
United States"
The board said swift conversion
OF larger plants to 100 per cent
military activity might be expected.
The smaller plants. with lighter
cyrtailments in civilian production
and fewer war contracts, will have
suficient civilian manufacturing to
keep their skilled labor force intact,
1t was added.
THE board said there were an
estimated 60000,000 radios distrib-
uted among 81 per cent Of American
homes.
