says has aroused enthusiasm
among officials of concerns manu-
featuring durable consumer goods
and among consumer finance COM
panies which would have a part
in the program. He thinks that it
! might absorb a considerable por-
| ton of the expected 1913 excess
between consumer income of $780,
900, 100000 and $77,000,000,000 in
available goods.
The plan. if it can get under
way. would not only provide a
market for postwar production
but would give the Government
the use of money now in financing
the war. Thus it would cut down
the ''inflationary gap" and help
provide cash for military pur-
poses.
Leon Henderson suggests that
the plan be considered by the pub
lie and explains that each purchas-
er of the certificates would re-
ceive 10 per cent. of his invest
ment in merchandise, or 100 per
cent. of his investment in cash af-
ter the war. Should the investor
want cash earlier, he would be
paid the amount invested, less
sales and collection costs.
The OPA points out that the
customary channels of private en-
terprise would be utilized for sell
ing the certificates. The dealers
selling them would receive the
down payment and two per cent.
of subsequent payments. Book
keeping and delinquent collec-
tions would be handled by finance
companies and banks. Installments
would be paid at telephone, tele-
graph and light companies, post
offices, etc.
A special plan would take care
of the interests of men and women
in the armed forces who would be
given longer terms of payment to
compensate for lower incomes.
Moreover sales and collection costs
would be avoided and the military
personnel would probably be CIV
en- higher priority than civilians.
There may be difficulties in
connection with the application of
the proposal, but, it seems to us,
that the merits outweigh the
disadvantages.
Certainly, if the purchase of the
certificates develop generally
throughout the nation, with indI-
viduals indicating present inten-
tons as to the products to be de-
livered, industry would secure
some valuable leads as to the
probable demand for products af-
ter the war. This would aid pri-
vate industry in preparing for the
postwar period.

CERTIFICATE BUYING PLAN
PAY NOW: DELIVERY LATER
HENDERSON APPROVES IDEA

Every American is familiar with
the fact that due to war spending
there is a quick turnover of mon
ey in the country and stupendous
''inflationary gap" which repre-
sent excess of income over goods
available for buyers.
To prevent initiation it is con-
sidered necessary by financial ex-
perts to cut down the excess
Heavier Federal taxes, besides fl
nancing the war, play part in this
function and money invested in
War Bonds does the same, because
it is taken out of the current
spending total.
The prevention of initiation Is
one of the prime responsibilities
of Government because of the in
evitable deflation that will follow
The experience of the last post
war period is enough to convince
anyone of the necessity of extreme
measures to prevent a repetition
of the national misfortune.
Another problem which con-
fronts the nation is the convention
of our industries from war to
peace-time operations. This eco
nomic change-over is a serious
operation and its speed and success
will depend, in a large degree, up
on the spending power of the peo-
pie when war is concluded. A
heavy demand for consumer pro-
ducts would speed up the change
and diminish the prospect of
widespread unemployment.
One of the plans which has been
suggested would permit individ-
uals with excess incomes at this
time to buy preferred claims on
postwar products not now avail
able.
The automobile industry will IL
lustrate how the plan might work.
Americans who are unable to buy
new cars now will need them at
ter the war They would be per-
mitted to set apart some OF the
present excess income for the pur-
chase of a car when production is
resumed and, in consideration
of so doing. would get priority
on the first cars manufactured.
The same idea would apply to
the postwar purchases of refrlg-
orators, oil-burners or stokers,
washing machines, kitchen ranges
high priced radio photograph
sets, home air-conditioning units,
vacation travel by ship, plane and
railway and, possibly, the con-
struction of houses. Obviously, it
could likewise apply to other
purchases.
Rolf Nugent, director of credit
policy in the OPA, has given some
thought to the plan which, he

Meanwhile, salaries owed coun-

county remain unpaid, even
though the county has bullying

WOMAN'S CLUB

At a meeting called by Mrs.

r. Warren, member of the Board
of Directors, chairmen were ap-
pointed to handle the various
places in connection with the pro-

These cabarets, directed by Mrs.

full and highly entertaining fea-
ture acts are eagerly anticipated
by the social set.
MRS. Hugh Williams, who has
been appointed general chairman,

new ORDER WOULD
AFFECT CONDENSED
MILK SHIPMENTS
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS
MAKING EFFORT TO PRO-
TECT KEY WEST AGAINST
RULING

The Chamber of Commerce has
been informed by a Key West
wholesaler that an order shortly
will be issued stopping the ship
ment of any more of one brand
of condensed milk to Florida.
The order will be issued by
Secretary of Agriculture Claude
Wickard, who is also food admin
istrator, so the secretary of the
chamber wrote to MIR. Wickard,
informing him that condensed
milk has been used extensively
in Key West for practically a
century, and that it will be a
hardship in this community if
that particular brand becomes
unavailable here. as that has been
the brand that has been more
easily obtainable recently.
No objection whatever was
made by the secretary about the
proposal to ship this particular
brand to lend-lease countries,
but he added that he saw no rea-
son why infants in Key West
should 60 without that type of
milk in order that it may be sup
piled abundantly to infants in
foreign countries.
"We need the milk here, too"
the secretary said, land it is just
and fair that we should get some
part of it,"

STITUTE PROVED TO BE
DECIDED SUCCESS

| Open house at the First Con-
lgregational Church Service Cen
ter last Friday was decided
success, Rev. S. Reinke, pastor
said today. Several hundred
persons attended the opening,
including a generous proportion
of service men.
The program began with a
dinner for members of the con-
gregation and all others who felt
responsibility for the work. the
pastor said. After properly dis
posing of the good nutrition" so
generously provided by the ladies
OF the church, the assemblage
recognized the services of those
who had large or small share
IN preparing the building for its
present work. Among the or
carnations and individuals hon
ored were: The Junior Christian
Endeavor, group of boys, the
loyal ladies' group and, in par
ticular, Mrs. George Archer, Jo-
seph Boza, Percy Roberts and
the former pastor, Rev. Edw. S.
Doherty.
Rev. Doherty brought a chal-
Longing message during the eve
min. Afterward, the pastor read
statement of purpose which
was then signed by those pres
ent.

among them were Chaplain Blake
Craft of the Navy, Chaplain
Murphy of the Army, the Rev.
A. c. Riviere, Rabbi L. Lehrer,
Gerald Saunders of the City
Council, Mrs. Hoglund and Mr..
Ginnis of the USO.
A hilarious and somewhat i'm
promptu. program began with
several solos sung by Mrs. Ruth
Hoglund, with Mrs. Emaline
Bodler at the piano. Other sing
/ ing followed, including several
numbers by an army chorus and
solos by Alvin c. Johnson of the
Navy and the Rev. Reinke.
Mrs. George Archer and
Messrs. BOA and P. Roberts
each made a short talk, telling
a little of the work and plan
ming that had gone into the Cen
ter and their vision for its flu
ture.
The Rev. Doherty then gather
ed up these thoughts in an in
spring message.
Fruit cocktail and cookies were
served ito stave off the pangs
of hunger" and add to the gen.
eral good time. Praise the
Lord, and pass the good nutri-
tion,'' as Rev. Doherty para
phrased.

PROPERTIES ON
DELINQUENT LIST
TAX DEEDS ISSUED WILL BE
JUST AS VALID AS THOSE
ON OTHER PROPERTY BE-
COMING DELINQUENT

Approximately 100 parcels of
home-exempted property are in
cluded in the l, 500 parcels that are
delinquent in Monroe County,
County Clerk Ross Sawyer said
today.
The fact that the amounts on the
exempted property are small, some
of them little more than 81, under
the law, Mr.. Sawyer pointed out,
the tax deeds issued will be just
as valid as those that will be given
on property on which compare
lively large sums are owed.
MIR. Sawyer stated that, besides
those owners of exempted prop
erty who Think they are not re-
quired to pay any tax at all, there
are other delinquents in that
group who are under the impress
sion that their property has been
redeemed, because the date of
payment was made some time last
year.
But, he added, the fact that the
payment was made last year does
not mean it was paid on 1941
taxes, Las "a man can paygtaxes to-
day that were due many years
ago. In, that regard, Mr., Sawyer
BAYS that owners of axenpt prop
erty Should Hook at their receipts
to assure themselves that the pay
ments they made last year include
also the 1941 taxes.

Two New Polling Places
Established in Alexandra

Two new polling places were estab-
Ished by the Alexandria City Coun-
Gil at its meeting last night, to be-
come effective for the Democratic
primary April IS.
The third ward polling place will
be the No. firehouse in the 100
block of North Patrick street, in
place of the Odd Fellows Hall, for
n1erly used for voting, but now the
headquarters of the ration board.
The fifth ward polling place will
be the Maury School on Russell
road between Walnut street and
Rucker place. The new location was
obtained through the cooperation
Of the Board of Education. 1t will
replace the garage on Common
wealth avenue that was used before.
The Board of Education has ap-
proved the use of three schools for
voting purposes, thus enabling the
Council to split both the fifth and
sixth wards and establish two poll
ting places in each. 1t was consid-
cred unwise, however, to adopt the
ordinance until after April g. since
the books could not be revised in
time for the primary. Adoption of
the ordinance in advance would
lead only to confusion, it was said
