Black Markets Seen
Deprivine Army Of
Fair Share Of Meat
Operations Of Shade Tree
SIouehterers' Described
At Atlanta Meeting
BY he Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA. March 1.-The
Army is not obtaining its fair
share of meat because black
market operations are diverting
such large quantities. Ware
Hutcheson, regional OPA direc-
tor, told Southeastern gather
ing Of nine Federal agency heads
here today.
Referring to the meeting as a
war council on meat black mar
kets Mr.. Hutcheson said that some
North Carolina operators are re-
ported going into the Savannah. Ga.
market. outbidding local slaughter
ers. and paying prices which would
necessitate their selling at above
ceiling levels in order to get their
money back
Tennessee Survey Cited.
He said Tennessee survey
showed numerous operators there
going at only 30 per cent of capacity
because they could not obtain suffi-
cient cattle for their quota, itself
restricted over their normal opera
tions.
Stress was placed on the fact that
black market meat is not inspected
nor treated under sanitary regula-
tions applying to inspected plants.
At least four district regulations
are involved in black market regu-
lations, it was stated. and enforce
ment efforts can follow any or all of
these channels.
Meat sales are regulated by OPA
price and rationing regulations; the
Food Distribution Administra ton
has laid down rules covering grading
and inspections. while the Office of
/ Defense Transportation controls
the transportation of meat from
slaughterer to market.
Operations Take Many Forms.
The black market takes many
forms, it was pointed out, but the
most common violator in this region
is the shade tree" slaughterer. often
operating without inspection or
grading who delivers non-quota
! meat to retail markets, institutions
, and even to consumers at an ad-
vanced price Because of this higher
market, the black market operator
is able to procure live animals by
paying a higher price when legiti-
mate quota -slaughterers are unable
to get stock.
Representatives of the Agricul-
tural Extension Services were in
vited to attend the meeting and it
was hoped by war agency officials
that county agents, working under
the extension service, would CO.
operate in locating black market
operators in their counties.

On this question, Bernard J. Long,
assistant United States attorney
who argued the Government case
conceded that the Governments
rights are not different from those
of an individual or corporation in
similar circumstances.
Mr. Long said. however, that nei-
ther the question of negligence in

defense which the banks may in

He argued that in this case the
Government, as drawer. owed no
duty to the banks with reference
to the Endorsements and made no
representation with respect to them
and the banks were under duty
to determine the genuineness OF the
Endorsements and accepted the
checks solely on their own belief in

Congress learned today that to
maintain an armed force of 11,00O.-
600 men, upwards of $4,000 900 may
have to don uniforms before the
war is over.
This l000,0 ,000-man loss in man
power was attributed largely to
normal attrition. exclusive of battle
casualties.
In testimony before a Senate Ap-
propriations Subcommittee recently,
Col. Lewis Sanders. chief of the Re
employment Division of Selective
Service, said 100000 men would
have to be placed in service to main
tain an armed force at all times OF

Non-EssentiaI Service
By Private Buses
Is Banned by 0DT
Order Effective March IS
Enforces Same Limits as
On Charter Vehicles
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Privately owned buses will be
brought under the same prohibitions
against non-essential service already
in effect for vehicles operated in
charter service by transportation
companies. the ONCE of Defense
transportation announced today.
Effective March S, the order
sbolishes all so-called free" serv-
ice, even where the bus is owned
and operated by private organiza-
tlon for the convenience of its own
members or other restricted groups.
The order PROHIBITS such services
by privately owned buses as:
Special transportation to race
tracks. golf clubs, beach clubs. rid
ing academies, night clubs and road
houses.
Exclusive service provided for at
tendants and guests by apartment
buildings and hotels.
Special transportation for athletic
teams. not only in school buses. but
in vehicles owned by organizations,
such as baseball clubs.
Special service to picnics, fairs or
other amusement centers.
Special service, for use of the gen.
eral public, to stores or shopping
centers.
Special transportation for enter
tainment groups, such as orchestras
on tour.
The order provides, however, that
ODT may issue special permits for
limited operation of some privately
owned buses to meet specific needs
or exceptional circumstances.
For example, special permits may
be issued. ODT said, for service in
institution n-owned vehicles to homes
for the aged, sanitariums and hos
pitals where public transportation
systems are inadequate and service
for the exclusive use of the Grip
pied and blind.
ODT Director Joseph B. Eastman
estimated the ban on special service
in private buses would release sew
eral thousand vehicles for the trans
portation Of war workers.

WITH THE U. S. AIR FORCE
IN CHINA, Feb. % Delayed .-
Brig. Gen. Claire L. Chennault
expressed belief in an interview
today that the japanese Air
Force had "hit it's peak and is
now on the down grade"
The commander of the China Air
Task Force and former leader of the
American Volunteer Groups Flying
Tigers, said:
From evidence of various sources
the enemy has run into two bottle
necks - aircraft production and
training airmen"
His reserve stock of planes is be-
ing used up and he is getting short
of trained personnel because of
heavy losses. he said.
The general said the Japanese
were no longer getting the results
they formerly achieved; that they
were no longer attacking in over
whelming numbers in the South
Pacific; that they offered no effec-
tive air opposition to Allied air
raids upon Burma, and that upon
several occasions japanese seeking
to bomb Yunnan and Assam air
fields had lost most of their planes.
The bomber crews they are en-
ploying lately are unskilled COM
pared to those encountered last
year." he said.
Asked if there was any change
in the outlook for the China theater
since the first of the year, Gen.
Chennault said things appear more
hopeful" He paused and then
added after the Casablanca con-
ference"
He said the improved outlook
rested largely on plans at present,
although things are moving
Answering direct question, the
general said he was of the personal
opinion that after Hitler was
crushed ''it would not take long"
with the combined weight of the
United Nations, to smash Japan.

Corporate Tax Must
Stay al High Level,
Says Treasury Aide
Congress Hos No Other
Choice for Durution,
Detroit Group Told
By TIE Associated Press.


DETROIT, March l.-Randolph
E. Paul, Treasury Department gen.
eral counsel. said today corporation
taxes must be maintained at high
level so that business and industry
will not escape their fair share OF
the war burden.
For the duration" he said. Con-
gress has no choice but to keep
corporation taxes at level just
short of doing injustice and impair
ing the war effort
Mr.. Paul expressed these views in
a speech prepared for the Economic
Club of Detroit.
While emphasizing that business
must not expect any easing of the
tax burden in the immediate future,
he said he looked forward to "a
complete reapprisal of the role of
business taxes in our revenue sys-
tenn in the post war era.
Mr.. Paul reiterated the Treasury's
support Of pay-as-you-go tax legis-
lation, but said he was opposed to
proposals that would abate 194a
taxes in order to put taxpayers on
a current basis.
He said additional taxation is
necessary in the battle against in
f1ation and asserted that without
higher taxes price and imitation con-
trolls can scarcely succeed"
Part of the $4,000 100000 addi-
tiona revenue required in the next
fiscal year will come from indi-
vidual income taxes, Mr.. Paul said,
adding that Congress will have to
decide how much, if any, is to come
from corporations"
He estimated that corporate taxes
would yield $4,000 900 600 in reve-
nue. this fiscal year and $4,000, 900, :
600 next year.
Despite heavy taxes, Mr.. Paul said
that if corporations pursue con-
servative dividend policies, these
policies combined with carry back
provisions and post war refunds
should afford ample cushion to
meet post war transitional prob
lens
If net profits after taxes are any
criterion he added, the ability OF
corporations generally to reconvert
is not being seriously impaired by
war tax increases. 1t is estimated
that in 1912 total corporate profits
after taxes will be $7,4O0, ,O00. .O00
nearly twice as high 183 per cent,
as they were in 1899. And 1899, you
will recall, was not an abnormally
bad year"
