Montgomery Prepared
For Part In War Loan
Drive To Raise 13 Billion
Continued from Page u

Continued from Page u
Financial experts who know
monetary conditions in the nation
point out that at the present
time there is in liquid funds, cash
and commercial bank deposits
over and above taxes and present
investment in Government Bonds,
and over and above what can
be bought this year because of
restrictions and rationing :.
approximately 40 billions of dol
lars which should go into Gov
eminent Bonds.
1t should be the objective of
every American to invest these
loose dollars, idle dollars, in Gov
eminent securities, not only from
a patriotic standpoint, but from
the standpoint of their own finan-
cial security. There is available
during the Second War Loan a
type of Security to fit every
pocketbook.
Every dollar of these forty
billions of dollars available, which
is not invested in Government
securities during this War Loan
Drive is a "wild" dollar which
together with its mates, will tend
to increase imitation. Uncon-
trolled imitation might raise the
cost of living to a point where
the dollar is worthless. 1t can
happen. 1t happened in Germany
after the last war when the
price of a loaf of bread cost
more than an annual wage.
Invested in Government securi-
ties, your dollar will work for
you. 1t will hold down imitation
because it is harnessed in war
work; it will help buy food,
transportation, munitions for our
boys OH the front lines and it
will be earning interest that, to-
gether with your original loan,
will buy the things you cannot
buy today to insure your
peace of the future.
Remember those boys out there
in Tunisia in the South
Pacific They give their
lives-You lend your money.

Waste Of Free Food
By Relief Client Here
Admitted by Official
Flour, Milk, Apples
Found in Alley; No Need
Now for Program Seen

Some District relief clients
have thrown away free food dis
tributed to them by the Food
Distribution Center, 472 c street
NV, from surplus commodities
of the Federal Food Distribution
Administration, it was learned
today.
In regard to free food-which is
said to include evaporated milk, ap-
pies, sacks of white -four and corn
meal-found in an alley by the
food center, an agency of the Pub
lie Assistance Division, Morris Eel
ditch. general superintendent, said
this afternoon:
1T is quite true that there seems
to be few families wasting some
food products. However, it is an
extremely small fraction of the total
amount they get
Mr.. Zelditch said there would be
an immediate investigation of the
wastage and promised that every
effort would be made to plug the
leak"
The food program, Mr.. Zelditch
said, started when the Agriculture
Department bought great quantities
of surplus commodities to maintain
prices paid farmers.
Now that we are short of almost
every kind of food, there is no rea-
son for the program to continue, u
he said. The system of distribu-
ton was designed by the Federal
Government to get the food off the
market-not to distribute it eco
nomically to families in need. We
have no control over the amounts
shipped up. When we get a supply
of flour we distribute it proportion
ately among the families on our
rolls"
The PAD is part of the Board OF
Welfare. Last month the Agricul-
ture Department gave the District
285 1896 pounds of surplus" food, a
large part of which was distributed
to hospitals, institutions or utilized
in the school lunch program. More
than 71,000 pounds was distributed
directly to 1850 families who are
either on relief rolls or certified to
be in need Of supplemental rations.

to cancel 1912 tax liability on
individual taxable income up to
SIS, 5000, then, warming up to a
vote on the Ruml skip year
proposal, voted against a sug-
gestion to publicize the names Of
those the Ruml plan allegedly
would benefit.
The publicity motion. which would
open the records of how much of
past taxes would be Cancelled for
each citizen. was offered by Chair
man Doughton of the Ways and
Means Committee as an amend
ment to Representative Carlson S,
Republican. of Kansas, bill embody-
ing modified version of the Ruml

if we're going to vote to abate $10.-
900 100000. then I think the public
is entitled to know who is going to
benefit if we make this raid on the

A showdown vote was expected
shortly on the question of accepting
or rejecting the Carlson proposal as

the Ways and Means Committee
measure. which carries no cancella-
ton of past taxes. but offers a dis
count to those who pay up the pre-
vious years levies in order to get on
a current basis.

Its rejection-flrst action on more

son, Democrat, of Virginia, attacked
its merits and told the House it was
an example of what happens when
those not versed in tax matters try
to write a tax bill on the floor"
In presenting it Mr.. Gearhart said
that he did so, though opposed to
any forgiveness, on the grounds that
the amount that would be Cancelled
was "inconsequential" as compared
with the Treasury raid which
would be perpetrated' by the Carl
