presidency, and he laughed and said
that he didn't anticipate any "popu-
lar uprising" to put him in that
office.
Mr.. Byrnes said on three occa-
sions since he left the Supreme
Court to become director of eco
nomic stabilization, the position he
held before getting his present post,
that he had refused to see good
friends who wanted to talk about
partisan politics"
He said he did this reluctantly,
but that he felt constrained to take
such action. Mr.. Byrnes had viewed
the reports linking him with the
possible political Office as the work
OF friends in the newspaper profess
sion, but he commented that if those
who seek to promote him for Office
will "be just good enough to let me
do my job I'll be much obliged to
them"
To Lean on Baruch.
The directors statement that he
proposed to look more to Mr..
Baruch's counsel was made in con-
nection with an outline he gave of
the staff he will have in the OWN.
Il expect him to assist me in an
advisory capacity-really to do for
me what he has been doing for the
President for the past two years."
Mr.. Byrnes explained. He said Mr..
Baruch would have certain work
assigned to him, but that he would
serve both without pay and without
title.
Mr.. Ba1uch is accustomed to sit
ting in Lafayette Square to discuss
problems with his associates, and
one of the reporters wanted to know
if he would retain his office In the
park"
Eyes, pigeons and ALL" Mr.. Byrnes
responded.
He said he was going to make"
Mr.. Baruch stay in Washington
more to help him.
Mr.. Byrnes was asked if he was to
have any hand in shaping tax poll
cies and he said yes. adding then
that he had called tomorrow's meet
ing to see if there are any differ
ences of opinion as to the pay-as-
you-go tax bill He said that in CALL
ing the meeting he was acting for
the President.

One questioner wanted to know
what was the idea in holding a

The President disclosed Yesterday
that he planned to sign the legisla-
ton. Mr.. Byrnes also said he was

Mr.. Byrnes said he had played no
part in any negotiations dealing with
the coal dispute, adding that when
he was director of economic stabu-
ization he had the power to review
any award that might be made, and
for that reason he wanted to be in a
position to act independently. He
said he had been called in when
there was question at issue between
the War Labor Board and Fuel Ad-
Ickes.

Steel Output Shows
Slow Recovery From
Coal Strike Effects
Iron Age Sees Industry's
Attention Focused on
48-Hour Work Week
BY the Associated Press.

1
NEW YORK, June Coal trick
ling out of mines again brought a
slow recovery in steel output this
week after the effects of last week S
strike. the magazine Iron Age re-
ported today.
The trade publication estimated
the loss of coal production prevented
manufacture of $4,000 tons of steel.
At the same time, Iron Age said
the steel industry's attention was
divided between reflections in pro-
duction schedules of shifts in war
strategy and the 48-hour work week.
Points to Gary Layoff.
1t said the war program changes
were typified by the layof of 300
persons at Gary armor plate mill
and that the change was expected
to affect 1,400 before the end of
the week.
Steel production, because of blast
furnace shutdoWns, the magazine
said, was down 2l2 points to 94.5
per cent of capacity, lowest since
late December of 1941
THE 48-hour week in steel can
be shrugged off by many persons
as they turn to more interesting
reading matter" Iron Age said, "but
it is vital subject to all con-
nected with the industry. Labor
hiring practically is frozen in steel
most companies are in a position
where they cannot hire new work.
ers and WPB directives are not
always sufficient to supply 4S hours
per week per man on some steel
finishing units. There are posi-
bilities that the industry may find
itself in trying position in a few
months, with some output jeop-
ardized"
Regarding schedule changes, Iron
Age said:
In the minds of manufacturing
executives engaged in war produc-
ton, questions surrounding the set
ting OF accounts when ho6tilities
cease are foremost. If the recent
cutbacks in armament items are a
sample, considerable confusion and
AiAaSii e1AihASo W may NC VI ttu Unless
the Government takes steps now to
avoid them. The cutbacks have
brought to the front the likelihood
of long delays in negotiations and
such problems as what constitutes
inventory material, what a reason
able inventory consists of and
whether certain regulations are at
loggerheads with other rules.
1T is feared legal wrangling might
prevent the release of large sums
OF money needed for postwar pro-
duction.
Faced with the certainty of dwin-
ding Government orders. machine
tool makers are pushing ahead with
their conversion plans. In the hands
OF the new WPB Facility Committee
lies the power to say yes or no to
new machine tool orders of the
Army and Navy 1t plans to break
up the boards of tools held in re-
serve 900 machines were reported
found in storage in one plant and
to eliminate certain instances of du-
plications of facilities"

The German radio. broadcastlne
| the Italian communlque, said the
garrison rejected the demands.
High official quarters in London
refused to comment on the reported
surrender demand.
The italian communique, as re-
corded in London. said:
The garrison of the island of
Pantelleria which was uninterrupt-
edly attacked from the air yesterday
has not answered the request to
surrender made by the enemy"
At the same time the Rome an
nouncement reported the island had
been heavily bombarded by an AL
lied naval squadron and declared
one enemy unit was hit by Axis
planes. In yesterdays attack from
the air, the communique said. five
Allied planes were destroyed by
anti-aircraft defenses and 10 by
fighters.
The Rome radio said Pantelleria
has been a target for numerous
naval bombardments and 140 air
raids since May 9. The announce
ment added:
The heroic garrison of Pantel-
leria has firmly fought back against
all attacks. The islands population
is resisting gallantly and bearing all
sacrifices"
The Italian war bulletin also re-
ported Allied raids yesterday on
Sicily and Sardinia.
1t asserted that German fighters
shot down two Spitfires in raid on
Carbonia and surrounding area OF
the southern coast of Sicily. The
raid resulted lin the collapse OF

the controversy is looming for re-
ply and seek to bring about an ad-
justment without further ado.
Interagency troubles will be
brought to the attention of the
full committee only "if the matter
seems to be of basic Importance"
Mr.. Byrnes said.
Urges Fewer Inquiries.
AS far as heading off possible con-
gressional investigation, he contin-
ued, he had already taken up his
proposal with Chairman Truman
of the Senate War Investigating
Committee and he wants to discuss
the matter with Speaker Rayburn.
Much time could be saved, Mr..
Byrnes amplified. if investigations
could be limited to one committee
from each chamber instead of half
a dozen.
Il know in some cases this can't
be DONE" he said. but 1 want to
see II / can't cut down the number"
Mr.. Byrnes said he had taken up
the matter with Senator Truman
because the latters committee had
been particularly active in investigat-
ing problems growing out OF the war,
and he was hopeful Speaker Ray
burn would designate a committee
for such general investigative pur-
poses.
He laughingly added that he didn't
want to run afoul of his old COL
leagues on the Hill with this sug-
gestion.

Matthews Says His Charge
Is Aid to War Effort

PRINCESS ANNE. Md, June 9 (P).
Editor Rives Matthews, charged
with criminal libel in connection
with stories carried in his weekly
newspaper about rationing case
involving State Controller J. Millard
Tawes, said today that this is my
contribution to the war effort"
Mr.. Matthews, publisher OF the
Somerset News, filed with the Office
CT Price Administration charge
that Mr.. Tawes violated the pleas
ure driving ban IN making trip to
Georgia in a State-owned car.
Mr. Tawes was exonerated at
hearing Monday night before the
Somerset County Ration Board.
Mr.. Matthews said In a written
statement that he had about $500
invested in his paper and I have
paid off most of it in the past four
years.
1T hasn't been easy but they can
take it all if they can find way
and I still am fool enough to believe
that even such a penalty would not
be too much to pay in the long run
If some good for the county and
State and country as whole comes
out of it,
This is my contribution to the
war effort. I have made some
others and I shall continue to make
them"
He mentioned. among other
things, that he sold his car last fall
to "a shipyard worker because he
needed it more than I did l saw
this gas shortage coming up and so

cism about the trip made by Mr..

OF many taxpayers whose income
has not risen but who are paying
more in the cost of their living" he
said.
Including social security contrib
tions, Senator George estimated,
Americans will pay more than
s38 900, ,0OO. COO into the Treasury in
the next fiscal year. He estimated
local and State taxes at approx
mately 100000 more and said
he believed the total burden, all
things considered, was as great if
not greater than that borne by the
British and Canadians.
Revenue 3s Billion.
Il fully appreciate. and am not
taking the slightest issue with the
President on meeting the imitation
threat" he said. I'm willing to go
as far as 1 conscientiously can in
that direction, to save our economy
from a runaway rise in prices and
wages, But I'm merely calling at
tention to the fact that the Gov
ernment's revenue will be at least
$38, 900 100000 and that isn't small
tax bill"
He summarized his conclusions on
the search for additional revenue to
finance the war as follows:
l. A general Federal sales tax law
! could not be enacted without active
support of the Treasury, which here
tofore has opposed such levy. Mr..
! Roosevelt also reiterated his oppo-
sition to this form of taxation yes
terday, declaring it would fall heav-
lest on the poor.
2. Increased excise taxes on such
| articles as liquor and tobacco might
! bring in as much as S1,500,000, 900,
| provided supplies held up and prior
tiles and rationing did not interfere
too greatly with distribution and
sale.
To Consult Morgenthau.
3, Congress probably would be re-
luctant to impose retroactive taxes
on corporations.
4. The American people. in the II
months beginning next July l. will
pay very close to s50000,0OO 900 in
Federal and local taxes.
1T is obvious" Senator George
said, that it isn't going to be pos
sible to increase greatly the burden
on the individual taxpayer"
Senator George disclosed that he
and Chairman Doughton of the
House Ways and Means Committee
had talked with Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau about the pos
sibllity Of new tax bill and would
confer with him again June Is.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that a program
entailing increased taxation and
compulsory savings might be the
proper combination.
