$54,499 Collected
In First Week for
National Symphony
47.4 Per Cent of Goal
Reported Roised at
Halfway Point in Drive

Half way in the drive towards
raising $115,000 to sustain the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra through
its 1884 season, 47.4 per cent of
the goal, or total of $54 ,499.76 has
been reached, it was reported today
at the second report luncheon held
at the Statler Hotel.
This report was made just seven
days after the drive opened. The
300 volunteer campaign workers will
continue their solicitation of funds
for the orchestra through April IS.
Representative Baldwin, Repub-
lican, of New York, principal
speaker at the luncheon, declared
the National Symphony Orchestra
is part and parcel Of our battle
and we've got to continue it," Re
calling his own Army service in the
last war, he said such institutions
as the symphony are among the
things the men in the service ex-
pect the people at home to con-
tinue for them.
Having recently formed national
committee to solicit contributions
for the orchestra, Representative
Baldwin asserted he believes the
orchestra should have the support
of the entire Nation 80 it can prove
its worth to the Nation at large by
tours and concerts"
After the 10 campaign committees
reported 1,16l pledges for total of
s53 3,499.76, or 46.5 per cent of the
grand quota, another $1,000 was
added to the sustaining fund just
before the luncheon closed.
Mrs. Walter Bruce Howe, chair
man of the women's campaign divi-
sion, reminded the meeting she had
a $500 conditional pledge to be
matched. Mrs. Joseph L. Miller,
chairman of the Government Com
mittee, announced that her commit
tee had subscription to match the
pledge.
Milton W. King, campaign chair
man, presided Brief talks were
made by Walter Bruce Howe, vice
president of the National Symphony
Orchestra Association, and DR.. Dill
lon Ripley, who spoke for those in
terested in the "15 to 3O' concerts
of the orchestra.
The next report meeting will be
held on April 16.

I Of IS German Subs
Declared Damaged
In Vegesack Raid
RAF Commentator Says
| US. Flyers Struck One
Of Wars Heaviest Blows
BY the Associated Press.

by tue Associated Press.
LNODON, April 7.-United
States heavy bombers struck
what may we'll have been the
heaviest single blow of the war
against the U-boats when they
damaged severely seven of the
IS submarines in construction
slips at Vegesack on March 18,
an RAF commentator said today.
One of these, which was hit very
heavily and capsized in her berth,
was ready for almost an immediate
launching, this source said. z
Two OF the submarines were far
enough advanced so they could have
been launched probably by mid
May, he said. He added that two
others would have been finished in
mid-Juae, while the remaining two
were IN the embryonic stage.
The net conclusion of naval and
submarine building experts who ex-
amined photographs OF the raid was
that the yards would be able TO
make no substantial contribution to
German U-boat construction for
many months, the commentator as
serted.
While the full reconnaissance re-
port was not yet available on the
United States Air Force blow Sum
day on the Renault works near
Paris, the commentator said that no
doubt it was extremely successful
and scarcely a. single building in
the entire plant area escaped some
damage"
Other American attacks which
were singled out for praise included
one on Hamm, where the railway
station was smashed and $50 cas-
ualties were caused; at Rennes,
where a naval stores station was
badly hit, and Wilhelmsnaven
where nearly all harbor installations
were damaged.
He said the number of heavy
oombers being sent on RAF night
raids was increasing appreciably

Formal House Move
Seeks Action on
New Pay-Go Tax Bill
Letter Asks Douehton
To Draw Measure for
Quick Consideration
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A formal movement developed
in the House today to bring an
other pay-as-you-go income tax
bill before that body for imme-
diate consideration.
Representative Anderson, Demo-
crat, of New Mexico began circula-
ton of a letter. for signatures of
Democratic members, asking Chair
man Doughton of the Ways and
Means Committee to produce an
other current tax payment measure
at once-probably in the nature of
compromise between those favor
ing complete bypassing of tax year
and those objecting to any abate-
ment.
Such a compromise measure most
likely would embrace 20 per cent
withholding levy against the tax
able portions of all pay envelopes
and salary checks.
Several Sign at Once.
Representative Anderson told the
House the letter was being circu-
lated, and several Democratic mem
bers Immediately attached their sig
natures Representative Doughton
has indicated that pay-as-you-go
legislation probably would not be
considered again until a general tax
measure is taken up by the COM
mlttee in late spring or early sum-
mer.
The letter stressed particularly
that the House, in turning down
both the Ruml skip-a- year plan
and the no-abatement bill, had
no opportunity to vote on the COM
promise plan by Representatives
Robertson, Democrat, of Virginia
and Forand. Democrat, of Rhode
Island, which would have erased
the 6 per cent normal and l3 per
cent first bracket surtaX on the 1912
income of all taxpayers.
The desire of many citizens to
put this country on a pay-as-you-go
income tax basis has become per-
haps the foremost domestic issue"
the letter said.
Meanwhile, Representative Wood
ruff, Republican, of Michigan, Ways
and Means Committee member, told
the House that American taxpoyers
are beginning to burn with indigna-
ton over the threatened delay now
being voiced by administration lead
ers-or some of them-in devising a
tax bill which will embrace current
payment features"
There was no excuse, no valid
reason whatsoever" he added, "for
the administration to make the
Carlson tax plan (the bill by Repre-
sentative Carlson, Kansas Republi-
can, embracing a modified form of
the Ruml plan) political football
as they did"

Curb on War Brokers
Big Fees Approved
By House Committee
Bill Subjeeting Earnings
To Government Scrutiny
Unanimously Endorsed
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Legislation to curb excessive"
profits realized by commission
sales agents for procuring Gov
ernment war contracts was ap-
proved by the House Naval Al
fairs Committee today by a
16-to-0 roll call vote.
The action came after a series of
public hearings, during which sew
eral Of the agents acknowledged
profits running up to millions Of
dollars on fees ranging in some cases
as high as 10 to 20 per cent.
The measure would define sales
agents handling war contracts in
excess of 5000 as subcontractors,
and, as such, subject them and their
earnings to Government scrutiny
and renegotiation through an exist
ing statute.
Although he voted for the meas
ure, Representative Lynden Johnson,
Democrat, of Texas, expressed belief
it did not go far enough. adding
that the committee should take some
action to curb the salaries of manu-
facturers as we'll as cracking down
on "the little fellows"
Chairman Vincent said, however,
this measure in particular is aimed
at the IS per cent boys who have
been obtaining 'unconscionable'
profits.
Under this statute" he added,
I'VE may not get all of them, but
we'll do the best we can"
The action represented the Naval
Affairs Committees second attempt
to restrict the profits of what the
Navy Department has termed war
brokers'" The committee last year
recommended and the House passed
a bill which would outlaw all COM
mission or contingent fees on all
Government contracts. That meas
ure, however, was pigeonholed by
the Senate Naval Affairs Committee
on the grounds that it was too broad.
Meanwhile, Rear Admiral Dan
Moreell. chief of the Navy's Bureau
of Yards and Docks, told the COM
mittee that 'it has been and will
continue to be our desire to spread
business among the small manufac-
turers and small contractors.
He was called to explain the bu-
reaus action in designating large
contractors as special Navy pro-
curement agents to obtain supplies
destined for bases outside the United
States.
He said that system had been en-
ployed for reasons of expediency and
economy, and, in response to ques-
tions, emphasized that they operated
under close Navy scrutiny.
