WISHES AUTO-LITE RAISE

WISHES AUlO-LlIE RAISE
Dear Friends:
1t is with profound and sim
cere feelings of gratitude that I
send you this little "thank you"
Christmas wish. 1t is great to
live in America and know that
while we are training and fight
ing this bitter war to save our
country, the boys and girls back
on the home front are waging
never-ending struggle to keep
living and working conditions on
the same high plane that is ev-
cry American workers right.
We feel secure in knowing that
we will have a real home to come
back to, due almost entirely 70
your untiring efforts. May you
all get the raise in wages which
you must receive to combat the
initiation which our government
seems unable to stop. A raise in
wages is my Christmas wish for
you all.
Thank you is so little to say
for the generous check which you
could i'll afford to send, but | do
thank you one and all with all
my heart. GENE.

1t was freely predicted that
the administration will pro-
duce estimates showing that
repeal of the bill and its war con-
tract renegotiation amendments
will make for more revenue than
the bills paltry tax increases
would total.
Sec. Of Treasury Henry Morgen-
thau's recent statement, "The
Treasury would be better off il
we had no tax bill at ALL" was
seen as an indication that fight
would be made on the senate floor.
Organized labor has strongly OBJ
iected to the tax measure and both
the AFL and CIO urged passage
of the Murray-Dingell So
cial security bill, S 1161, which
would have brought in almost Sc
billion. In lieu of that, the in-
crease in the present social secur-
ity tax rate, due under the law If
the pending tax bill is knocked
out. would provide more protection
to workers than the existing rate,
and would mean $1,400,00O,O0O in
revenue next year.
The Treasury claims the senate
bill would produce only $2,1OO,-
100000. Its proponents claim It
would produce $2,275, 100000. Un-
der the Treasury's estimates the
stepped up social security tax
would equal almost two-thirds of
the increase under the bill. Nor
genthau had urged $10h billion
in new revenue.
Some $5O0,0OO,OO0 in govern
ment refunds to war contractors
also will be lost if the renegotia-
tions amendments become law,
Moreover, government officials
say $5 billion already saved in re-
negotiated contracts would he
jeopardized. Morgenthau has de-
clared the senate amendments
would open the door to "truly ex-
tortionate profits" by war con-
tracts.

Bond Drive

Lucas County's quota in the
Fourth War Loan Campaign,
January 18 to February Is, will
be $38,50O,O00, according to John
T. Rohr, chairman, Fifth Area
War Finance Committee.
Quota for the Fifth Area, COM
prising 20 counties in northwest
ern Ohio, including Lucas, will be
$4,000, 900, Mr.. Rohr added. The
Lucas County and area quotas are
shade under the respective
quotas of $38,642,0OO and $75,517,-
900 in the third campaign last
September. But, Mr.. Rohr pointed
out, the entire quota in the coun-
ties and area in the fourth drive
must be met by non-banking
sources.
Arnold Heads Organization
AS Mr.. Rohr made the an
nouncement, the Lucas County
campaign organization, headed by
Hazen S. Arnold, chairman, shaped
it's plans for the most comprehen-
sive campaign yet undertaken.
Because of the fact that pur-
chases by banks will not be in
cluded in the quota" Mr.. Arnold
said, responsibility for going over
the top will rest more than ever
before upon our citizens and the
heads of non-banking business es-
adjustments.
Here is our opportunity to
meet the challenge of the Treas
ury Departments slogan in this
campaign: Let's All Back the At
tack

County to prepare today to in
