House Committee
Boosts Tex
On Whiskey

WSHINGTON (FP) Oct. 30
The house ways and means COM
mittee Oct. 26 voted to raise the
excise tax on liquor from Sc a
gallon to $40, but ruled out any
increase in tobacco or gasoline.
Tobacco is the pet interest Of
committee chairman Robert
Doughton Cd. N. c., although he
modestly told reporters some one
else in the committee had made
the motion to exclude tobacco.
Working all day, the committee
for the first time took action On
Treasury Dept. proposals, tackling
a long list of luxury items on
which the department suggested
increases. Even so, the Treasury's
original estimate that $2,500,0O0,-
600 could be raised in this manner
will be trimmed by billion dol
lars when the committee gets
through with it.
Revenue thus raised will come
to only $1,5O0,OO0,0OO, in marked
contrast to the S10,500, 100000
asked by the administration. While
the committee seemed to have set
aside for the moment the sales tax
issue, it is certain to arise again
when the committees program is
sent to the senate finance commit
tee, headed by Sen. Walter F.
George Cd. Ga.), for revamping.

Compensation
Poymenfs Reoch
New Low

COLUMBUS, O., October 30.-
Unemployment Compensation pay
ments in Ohio hit new all-time
low in September, dropping to
$66, $40 for the month, Administra-
tor Hugh S. Jenkins said today.
The lowest previous month on rec
ord with the Bureau occurred in
July of this year when benefit pay
ments totaled $75,S02. During Au-
gust, $84,753.78 was paid.
Indicating a possible fuTher de-
crease in benefit payments during
October was sharp drop also
taken by new claims filed during
September, the Administrator add
ed. These totaled only 2,049, one
fourth under August and one-fifth
under the previous all-time low in
June, 1943. Payments on new
claims start after the required
waiting period.
The number of weeks compensat-
ed during September totaled 5,756,
IL per cent decrease from the
previous Ohio all-time low of July,
1943. Both weeks compensated
and total benefit payments show
more than 80 per cent drop from
September a year ago, Mr.. Jenkins
said.
Explaining in part the drop in
unemployment claimants in Ohio
was the record number of job
placements made by the United
States Employment Service offices
in the state during September. E.
L. keenan,, state VINO director,
reported 69,093 placements, new
high surprising August placements
by 40 per cent and 1872 per cent
greater than in September year
ago. At the same time, the num-
Der of applicants registered with
the USES for jobs dropped to a
new all-time low of 33,87S.

Drops Jim
Grow Policy

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30-(FP)
Applications from Negroes for
all types of jobs will be considered
by the Chicago Surface Lines on
the same basis as those of white
persons, Chairman Malcolm Ross
of the Presidents Committee on
Fair Employment Practice sal d
Oct. 27.
The company officially buried
its Jim Crow policy by announcing
that it's first Negro platform man
has been hired and put to work.
The agreement, negotiated by the
FEPC's Chicago office, asserted
that hiring Of qualified Negroes in
all categories would begin inn
mediately and provided that Ne
groes under As years who are
hired would be considered per-
manent employees, not subject to
dismissal at the end of the war.
The FEPC acted on charges
pressed by the Chicago Civil Liber-
ties Committee and the Natl. Ne
gro Congress.

JAW Board Would Set
Up Organization OF

PHILDELPHI, Oct. 30-(FP)
I'm contrast to the AFL policy
of urging veterans to go into the
American Legion, the executive
board of the United Auto Work

Declaring that the proposa

said: "It is the opinion of most

has proven that it is definitely
lined up with various big business
groups. Richard Gosser of Toledo

cannot rely on unorganized
popular sentiment as an instrument
to compel their government to
carry out their will" Hillman said.
"A hasty mobilization of the forces

required Uniting the IA million
members Of organized labor and
giving stimulus to all other pro-
gressive groups, it will act as a
continuous force in our national

more urgent today than ever before

Scoring the 18th congress for
failing to back up the Presidents
demand to roll back prices or TO
establish an equitable tax program,
Hillman also criticized it for pas
sage of the "monstrosity that goes
by the name of the Smith-Connally

He denounced the sales tax levy
as measure to tax 'the energy
which workers need to perform on
the production line" He rebuked
the senatorial travellers who are
throwing confusion and suspicion

and urged full and continuous CO.

AFL and CIO counsel argued
that the law was unconstitutional.
The state moved to dismiss the
suit on technicality but the
court continued taking testimony
and a decision on the states mo-

Many CI0 internationals and all
the major AFL internationals are

Emerging from the COM
mittee chambers, chairman
Robert F. Dougton Cd. n. c.
testify informed a flock of waiting
reporters it was "nobody's busi-
ness" how committee members had
voted. All reporters could CLEAN
was that the defeated motion for a,
sales tax had been made by Rep.
A. Willis Robertson 3D., Va). He
proposed 10 per cent levy with
"cost of living" exemption coupons
for food, value at about $100.
Reporters Accuse Doughton
Fourteen of the reporters, sore at
having been kept waiting for such
,meagre pickings, signed round
robin letter, which they sent in to
Doughton, accusing the congress-
men of flouting democratic pro-
cesses and ignoring the peoples vi
tai concern with the issue in refus.
ing to reveal how they had voted.
One enterprising reporter, discover
ing the vote had been 16 to 8, sent
in a letter to ranking Republican
member Harold Knutson, saying he
would publish the names of the
eight men who voted for the sales
tax. That apparently did it.
A few minutes later, reporters
were ushered into the committee
room and a much chastened Dough-
ton was explaining that it was "all
misunderstanding.
"We don't like to have our votes
publicized," complained another
committee member, because then
we're deluged with mail from the
people back home"
The eight men who voted for the
sales tax, although Doughton told
reporters the list was incorrect,
were: A. Willis Robertson Cd

House Passes
Bill Delaying
Father Drof+

WASHINGTON, Oct. % (AP)-
The house passed without a record
vote Oct. 26 bill requiring draft
ing of single men and married men
without children on a nationwide
basis before men with children are
taken.
The bill eliminates the old sys-
tenn of quotas filled on a local
board basis under which fathers in
some counties would be taken be-
fore all eligible men had been taken
In other places. The measure now
goes back to the senate for revi-
sion.
Earlier, the house rejected a pro-
posal for induction of all married
men under 30 before induction of
fathers between 30 and SO. House
debate was interrupted briefly
while a message from President
Roosevelt was read, attacking "mud
singers" who say the government
is haven for draft dodgers and
slackers."
His message followed a recon-
mendation by the house military
affairs committee for an investiga-
tion of deferments in the War
Dept, Navy Dept. and six other
government agencies. Little more
than go of the governments D.
s25,9o4 employees had occupational
deferments, Roosevelt said, while
so me half-million government
workers are already in the armed
forces.
