Sales ak to
be Issue With
Administration
Favors Excess
Profit Lew

Washington, Aug. 4-INS-Sharp
clashes between the Administra-
ton and Congress over new tax leg
islatlon were seen today as the
Treasury was disclosed to be stu
dying an individual excess profits
tax and taking a Arm stand against
enactment of sales taxes.
Chairman Robert Doughton Cd,
y. c.. OF the House Ways and
Means Committee, also disclosed
after a conference with Secretary
OF the Treasury Morgenthau that
$4,000, 100000 additional taxes
should be levied.
The possibility OF a legislative
battle over taxes was emphasized
when Sen. Arthur II. Vandenberg,
Michigan, ranking Republican on
the Senate Finance Committe. chal-
lenged the President to propose
concrete tax program.
Declaring that plans must be
made to reconvert war industry to
pence-time Industry in order to
provide employment and warning
against tax legislation jeopardiz-
ing the national economy. Vanden-
berg called for a luxury sales tax.
Seek Initiation Curb
After comforting with Morgen-
than, Doughton said he agreed that
heavy increases in taxes should be
voted both to provide money to run
the government and to curb in
flation.
THE burden OF any tax or anti
imitation proposal should be as
equitably distributed as possible,
not only between upper and lower
income groups. but by recognizing
that in any income groups there
may be people who need to be pro-
tected against the full impact OF
tax increases" said Doughton.
This means later a study of the
principle of the individual excess
profits. Under this plan a special
additional tax would be levied on
a person whose income was swollen
by the war, whether in a war fac
tory or as a war goods manufactur-
err.
Sen. Vandenberg declared that
Mr.. Roosevelt, in his demand for
additional taxes, Speaks general
tiles and never gets down to brass
tacks."

Her Crib

Albany, Ore. Aug. 4-INS-State
and local officials joined today in
an attempt TO locate twO-day-old
Judith Quincy, kidnapped early
yesterday from her crib in Albany
General Hospital.
The FBI was asked TO help To-
cate the kidnapers. but officials said
they have no grounds for entering
the case unless II appears that the
child may have been taken across
state lines or a ransom is demand

State police asked radio stations
to broadcast an appeal requesting

seeking aid for a newly.born baby.
The Albany radio station broad
cast the baby's food formula in the
hope that the kidnapers might
hear and comply II was pointed
out that the child might die II not
given the proper food.
The only clues unearthed after
several hours were footprints out
side the hospital loom from which
the baby was taken.
The kidnapping was discovered
shortly before A. m. Tuesday
when a nurse entered the room to
quiet a crying baby. She noticed
something odd about the Quincy
childs bed and found the baby
gone. with a blanket stuffed into
her place. Another blanket was
reported missing from the room,
possibly taken by the kidnspess
TO keep the child warm.

Few Seek to
Evade Draft

Washington, Aug. 4-lNS- AS
the nation faced an Oct. 1 deadline
on induction of fathers, the Justice
Department pointed with pride to-
day TO a democratic record Of only
S77 men convicted for failing to
register in the draft-one-tenth the
number prosecuted during the first
year OF World War |.
Commenting on the record OF S77

said:
when 100000 men between

themselves for registration Oct.
16. 1910, the FIJI was on the alert
for any emergency that might
arise. There was history OF riots
and bloodshed marking enrollments
under other war draft acts. BY
contrast, however. our people this
time performed their democratic
obligation in a spirit OF Willingness
and cheerfulness with only isolat-
ed exceptions.
"Slackers" were more numerous
during the last war than they are
today, Hoover emphasized. The
exact number of those failing to
register for World War | was not
recorded but about 10000 were
