DAY OF PRAYER
 OBSERVED HERE
Services in Churches of City Largely Attended
 New Years Day

Waterburians buckled down grim ly to their various wartime tasks to- day, following the observance of a day of prayer yesterday, in accord ance with the proclamation issued by President Roosevelt.
 Since midnight of New Years Eve, or even earlier, the several churches in Waterbury had offered special services of devotion and con- secration at the beginning of year of unmitigated effort and sacrifice
 Masses in celebration of the Feast of the Circumcision were cele- brated in all Cathode churches of Waterbury yesterday morning, and at the conclusion of each a prayer for our civil authorities and our armed forces, especially prepared for the occasion by Most Rev. Maurice F. McAuliffe, bishop of the Hartford diocese, was read.
 The Episcopal churches of Wa terbury celebrated Holy Commun- ion at their New Years day services, and rectors offered special prayers on behalf of those to whom the war has brought, or will bring suffering and sorrow.
 Rev. Alan M. Fairbank conducted a service at the Bunker Hill Con- gregational church, including prayer and scripture reading. He urged his

predicted in taxes on incomes of in- dividuals in the middle brackets and on corporation income and excess profits. Hikes are reportedly sched- uled for inheritance and gift taxes. Huge defense expenditures have pushed the national income to rec ord levels, giving the treasury a larger fund to tax but aggravating the threat of imitation. The na- tional income for 194O was $76,0OO,- 100000 It was estimated at between $95 5,000,O00,000 and $l0O,O0O, 900, 900 for 1941.
 One factor favoring the treasury is the Federal Reserve Boards re- port that "the financial and bank ing mechanism of the country is in a stronger position to meet any emergency than ever before" After the Japanese attack, the Reserve Board announced "the existing SUD- ply of funds and of bank reserves is fully adequate to meet all pres ent and prospective needs of the government and of private activity" Some of the 1942 deficit may be covered by borrowing from social se- curity funds and other similar gov- ernment accounts, and the treasury has intensified its campaign for sale of defense bonds. Treasury officials expect to finance the major part of the deficit through floating of regu- lar government bonds, however.

Present Tax Yield Estimated SIS Billion

This is the treasury's outlook for 1942:-
 Present taxes will yield an esti- mated $13,000 100000, on the basis of mounting national income. Congressional leaders have agreed to add from $5,0OO, ,0OO, 900 to S8,0OO,- COG, 100000 in war taxes. Against this revenue of about $2O,O0O, ,OOO,- 900, there vii be an outlay of up- wards of $45 ,OO0, 100000, including ordinary government costs of $5,- 000,O00,O00 to $6,000, 0,000,000. The treasury therefore must borrow $25,- 900 100000 0- an average of $3,500,- 100000 a year.
 Congress started piling on heavier taxes months before the United States entered the war. A revenue measure enacted last September in- creased the nations tax bill by $3,- 500,000,000 a year.
 The ceiling for taxes, according to Chairman Robert l.. Doughton, D., N. C., of the House Ways and Means Committee, is "as much as we can get without dislocating our national economy"
 Tentative administration revenue plans include withholding tax which would take five to 15 per cent of all workers earnings directly from pay envelopes before workers ever see it. Further increases are

Treasury Floats $5 Billion New Money

Treasury sales of government se- curities. excluding defense bonds and refinancing issues, totaled $5.- 243 ,000,0 ,0OO in 1941-more than four times the $1,212,OO0,0OO of 1e4O.
 Government borrowing in 1922 also is expected to be approximate the total of the five Liberty loans of World War No. - $21, ,432, ,924,- 700.
 Congress probably will lift the statutory debt limit now $65, ,0O0,- COG, ,000-within six months.
 Before the floating of a $1,50O,- 100000 treasury bond issue - at about the same time this nation went to war against the Axis-the government securities market had been favorable without buying sup port from the federal reserve or treasury. But with war, it weaken ed slightly and the federal reserve and treasury bolstered the market with purchases. Treasury officials intend to continue this policy, when necessary.
 Sales of defense bonds have aver aged about $3O0,OO0,OOO a month--a total of more than $2,O00,000, 900 since they were first offered May 1. Purchases jumped sharply after Japanese planes bombed Pearl Har- bor.
 The treasury's goal is for all wage

earners to buy defense bonds on every payday. Industrial plants and commercial concerns are setting up systems whereby workers may speci- fly regular sums to be taken from the pay checks for defense bonds and stamps.
 Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., hopes this volun- tary plan will yield sufficient amounts to avert the necessity of enforced savings.
 Administration plans for checking imitation include price control legis- lation, federal reserve regulation of instalment buying and 'mopping up of surplus consumer funds through out increased taxes and sales of de- fense and regular governmental bonds to investors.
 The 1941 tax bill lowered exemp- tions from $2,OOO to $1 800 for heads of families and from $500 to $750 for single persons. The normal tax rate of per cent was not changed. but the 10 per cent defense tax was integrated into the surtax schedule. Surtaxes were jumped and now range from per cent on the first $2,000 of surtax net income to IT per cent on the portion in excess of S, 100000.
 Inheritance, gift and corporation taxes also were increased.

Scope of Excise Tax Broadened

$5 use tax on automobiles. A con- gressional committee slashed a
 treasury request for $4,300000 for collection of the tax to $1,50O,000, and directed that it be collected by postoffice sale of special stamps. In addition to regulating install ment buying, the federal reserve board also revised reserve require ments of banks to tighten commer- cial loans in the program to check imitation.
 Morgenthau and economy minded Congressmen plan to try to save ST. i 900 100000 or more annually by slashing expenditures for farm re- lief, public works, highways, Ma tional Youth Administration, Civil ian Conservation Corps and other non-defense projects. Success of the economy drive depends upon whether the unity created by the war vii cause Congressmen to fore go pork barrel appropriations. Funds of virtually all foreign na- tions and their citizens. except the British Empire and Latin American countries, have been frozen. Total funds affected was estimated at ST. 437 100000.

R. F. C. and Treasury Make Foreign Loans

The treasury has made loans from the U. s. stabilization fund to Argentina, China and Mexico to stabilize the currency of those na- tions. Good neighbor" negotiations for similar stabilization agreements with other Latin-American nations were reported to be progressing.
 The Reconstruction Finance Corp. and other branches of the Federal Loan Agency also used government funds to further the Good Neigh bor" policy Federal Loan Adminis- trator Jesse Jones granted loans to Mexico and other Latin American countries, and contracted to buy from them large amounts of raw materials needed in arms produc- ton.
 Federal Loan agencies are vital cogs in distributing defense funds. REC subsidiaries have awarded ap- proximately $5,000, ,000,0 900 in muni- tions contracts, and already have disbursed more than $1,000,000, 900. The commitments cover construction of armament plants to be operated under lease by private companies and purchase of stocks of rubber, tin, tungsten and other strategic materials.

budget. Excise taxes are expected to be increased and extended to more articles. Many persons must pay income taxes for the first time. Individuals in the low and middle income brackets must pay three, six, nine or twelve times as much taxes in 1922 as in 1941.
 Defense expenditures, including lend-lease costs, already had forced the treasury to virtual war foot ing before the war declarations of Japan, Germany and Italy against the United States. Defense costs were accounting for two-t thirds of government disbursements.
 Revenues fel more than $9,000,- 100000 short of meeting government expenditures in 1941. The public debt climbed from $45 5000 ,OOO, ,OOO to more than $55,000 100000. Costs of defense and regular governmental functions topped $17,000,O0O, ,0O0, while revenues approximated only $8 GOO 900 OOO.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-01-02

Military, naval and production experts tentatively set the cost of of the victory program at $150,OO0,- 100000. It may be more = how much more, no one will even guess.
 More than $7oO00, 900, 900 already has been authorized for armaments. Defense costs exceeded $11 0O0, ,0OO,- GOO in 1941. The war effort is ex- pected to cost more than $40,00O,- 900 000 in 1922; upwards of $6O,00O,- COG, ,000-$5 ,OO0, ,OOO, ,000 month ' in 1943. The $5,000,OOO ,OO0-a a-month rate may be reached in 1922, if in dustry can swing into an all-out war production that rapidly.
 It is the treasury's gigantic task to finance these unprecedented ex- penditures.
 Taxes will be the heaviest in this nations history. Government bor- rowings will be stepped up to a rate far outstripping the Liberty loans of World War No. 1.

r ECORD breaking has many odd
~ angles that often remain hidden
behind the scenes. Gene Fowler,
author, poet and sage of Hollywood,
insists that Barney Oldfield, the vet
eran auto racing driver, is the all
time leader when it comes to a mat
ter of uniqueness.
Barney learned to drive a car
one morning" Gene says, "and he
broke a worlds record that same
afternoon"
This happens to be 100 per cent
true. Henry Ford, looking for a
chance to test one of his new cars,
turned the job over to Barney and his
mastOdonic cigar. Barney spent an
hour or so learning how the differ
ent gadgets worked and few hours
later gave his machine the gas, prov
ing car could be driven at faster
pace than a mile a minute.
II asked to take the chance, Old
field also would have been the first
to try driving a car from the top of
