WASHINGTON, Oct. 6-Lives
of American aviators in the
Alaskan area are being riSked
constantly and frequently lost be-
cause Russia has failed TO disclose
any landing spots in Siberia Sena-
tor Rufus &. Holman CR) Of
Oregon pointed out today
AZ the same time, he reminded,
Russia has signed a treaty which
gives Japanese observers a free
run for espionage against United
States movements in northern
'Asiatic waters. as we'll as fishing
rights IN tho Siberian maritime
provinces which supply Japan
proper with Al per cent of her
annual food needs.
Member OF the Senate military
affairs committee, Senator Hol-
man spoke roundly for the need
and justice of a Russian second
front against Japan IN Siberia.
He said:
"As one of the United Nations
against Axis aggression, Russia
should simultaneously bar the
Japanese from the critical mari
time provinces and make avail
able TO us the air and ground
facilities which exist along the
Siberian coaStline, hut which
Russia 30 suspiciously keeps
secret from us, her ally.
This would preCipitate war
between Russia and Japan--a
matter not whit more serious
than Russia proposes In de-
handing that we open frontal
attack on Germany across the
English Channel before we are
ready"

Roosevelt on Air
Pleads for Aid in
War FUND Drive

WASHINGTON. Oct 6 QNS)
President Roosevelt last night
asked the American people TO
support the national war fund
drive 10 the utmost with a con-
fidence of certain ultimate vic
tory.
The president tempered his re-
marks. however, with the warning
that victory still Is "a long way
off. and that for il we arc pay
ing and shall have to pay great
price"
OPENS WAR FUND DRIVE
He spoke over nationwide
radio hookup opening the drive
for the national war fund.
'In the genius of the Ameri-
can pcOple--fOr freedom, and
friendliness among nelghbOrs-
Lies one OF our best weapons
for that victory, and certainly
our greatest insurance for
peace that will be Just and
lasting" the President said.
"Our men and our Allies
know they have made no
covenant with our government
alone. They know they have
the backing Of all the resources
and spirit of the American peO-
pie themselves.
WINNING MORALE
"In that conviction alone lies
the winning morale which no
slave of dictator can ever
know"
The President described the
national war fund as a phllan-
thropic federation with three aims

tent Of the war-related needs; &c
sec that everybody has a chance

WOULD CUT SPENDING

Specifically. he suggested a net
four billion dollar reduction IN
expenditures. by curtailing navy
shore construction, army pro-
grams for building factories and
military posts. the war shipping
boards revolving fund, and lesser
economies affecting various gov
eminent agencies.
There ia no question in my
mind that the imposition of
additional taxes asked for by
the administration can be pared
down by 40 per cent If the
President would hut practice a
reasonable degree of economy
i'm government spending" Taber
said.
Tho American people today
are spending more money In the
war effort than arc Great
Britain. Russia. Germany and
Japan combined. We are carry
ing now nearly the whole
financial load Of the war and
we will soon have n jOr part
of the military load"
REPUBLICANS SILENT
Republican members of the
ways and means committee so far
have not shown their hand on
what kind of taxes they will
favor. Tho cry of opposition 10
the Administrations program has
cmanated principally from the
Democrats and the COP members
have been content 10 let them
handle the sharp shooting.
However. IT is known that a
stable portion of the 10 COP
members on the 25-member COM
mittec are NOT unfriendly 10 a
sales tax and many are convinced
that a majority of the Democrats
and Republicans could be mus
tered for { unless the administra-
ton forces show more fight than
they have to date.

Their, the sales tax would afford
the taxpayer better opportun-
ity 10 economic than would an
increase in income taxes. And
if the tax be merely added to
the ceiling price Of goods. it
would be considered purely as
war tax and not as an increase
in the cost of living.

point said 10 favor the sales tax
II is considered far more conven-
lent for the taxpayer in that IL is
pay-as-he-goes tax, ad not

such as must be saved for under
the present income tax plan.
The contention that the sales
tax should be reserved 10 the
states as a revenue producer is
not considered important by the
federal sales tax proponents.
Only % of the states have sales
taxes now Many Of them are
selective. and il is believed that

could be meshed or imposed ov-
er these state levies without in

Is for the sales tax as an emer-
gency revenue producer ever
since the start of the war. His
efforts have been in vain thus
far. but this year he thinks the
federal retail sales tax proposal
has a chance. first because of
the desperate need for increased
revenue. second because he
thinks the Treasury proposals TO
do something about il are thor
ouGhly bad. third because the
federal retail tax is better than
the alternative Treasury propos-
ais, and finally because Robert

for every one of the objections
which has been raised against
the sales tax, as outlined previ-
ouSly in this space.

financing through a retail sales
tax.
The Treasury has proposed a
slight increase I'm income taxes
for the S2,000-a-year group, but
would refund the tax after the
war, meaning, according to Rob-
ertSon, that the higher income
groups would then have to pay
il.
The 10 per cent federal retail
sales tax has been estimated to
mean an 8 per cent increase in
the cost of living for the lower
income groups, and for this rea-
son il has been argued that COM
pensating wage increases would
have TO be granted, which
would be inflationary and upset

Robertson points out. however,
that the Treasury proposals call
for a AZ l-2 per cent increase
in income tax rates for people of
the $4,000 a year income group.
If man making $4,000 a year
has 3 per cent added to his cost
of living by reason of 10 per
cent sales tax and must have a
wage increase TO offset it,&why
shouldn't something be done to
offset the increased tax burden
