Land Asked 10 Explain
Plans for Disposal Of
Equipment After War
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Admittedly worried about the ef-
feet on business when the Govern
ment disposes Of its surplus equip
ment after the war, the House Small
Business Committee called Rear Ad-
miral Emory S. Land today to ex-
plain what can be done with excess
Maritime Commission property.
The committee is terribly con-
cerned over this disposal Of surplus
goods problems" said Representa- :
tive Ploeser, Republican, Of. Mis-
souri,. THE Army already Is dump
ing some of the surplus onto the
markets. Reports are being investi-
gated that 81, 1,400, 900 worth OF ma
chine tools were sold for $4,000.
Such things as that will wreck all
Of our markets"
Mr.. Ploeser, describing it as "one
OF the greatest threats to postwar
economy" added:
1T looks like there might be as
much as $4,000 100000 worth Of
surplus war goods on hand when
the war ends, including $4,000, ,0OO,-
900 in Government-owned plants"
Undersecretary Of War Patterson
has told the committee that "at
best we're going to have vast
amounts of these goods" and unless
the reconversion to peacetime in
dustry is handled carefully the en-
tire economy of the Nation may be
affected for years.

DAFL Opens New Drive For Subsidies
As Green Urges The Senofe To Act

ers because if the prices of agricul-
tural products are permitted to 60 sky
high, they are bound to drop to ruinOuS
levels after the war emergency ends.
Sterilization of prices and the cost
of living is not the only objective of the
price subsidy program, Mr.. Green
pointed out. He emphasized that this
program also seeks to stimulate and
increase farm production to the maxi
mum point Existing food shortages
will be aggravated in the postwar
period, Mr.. Green said, because our
country will be called upon to send
tremendous quantities of foodstuffs to
the liberated peoples of devastated
Europe and Asia to keep them going
until they can once more raise their
own crops.
The AFL President reminded Con
gresS that more than year ago it
made a solemn promise to the Ameri-
can people by the passage of the Eco
nomic Stabilization Act that prices and
wages would be stabilized at the levels
prevailing on Sept. Is, 1912.
Wages have been stabilized, Mr..
Green declared, but price control has
been ineffective and, as result, the
cost of living has continued to mount.

Washington, ID. C-AFL President
William Green demanded immediate
restoration by Congress of food sub
sides to prevent an infationary spiral
which would be disastrous to the war
program
Appearing before the Senate Bank
ing and Currency Committee, Mr..
Green made it clear that If Congress
persists in killing the Government S
subsidy plan it will destroy all the
effectiveness of price control and force
labor to seek general wage increases to
} make up for higher living costs.
The Senate Committee is now con-
sidering the Commodity Credit Cor
poration Bill which was adopted by
the House of Representatives after it
had deleted authorization of price sub
sides.
Mr. Green challenged the commit
tee to suggest more effective or eco
nOmical method of controlling prices
than through direct subsidies to pro-
ducers and distributors.
He insisted that expenditure of even
a billion dollars for such subsidies
would save the Government many
more billions in the purchase Of food
and war materials, besides consider
able savings to the consuming public
At the same time, he warned that
the opponents of subsidies are injuring

Poll Tax Cynical
Joke, Is Charge
Legislation CleverlY Drawn
Up To Discourage At
tendance At Polls

Washington, d. {. 'ILNS).-Study
in the 8 Southern states where this
archaic method of limiting the number
of votes exists has proven that little
attempt has ever been made to collect
the poll tax, the National Committee
to Abolish the Poll Tax says.
Mrs Katherine Shryver, executive
secretary of the Committee, pointed
out that in Alabama and Mississippi
for instance, payment of the poll tax
is entirely voluntary and is not Ell
fOrceable or cOllectable by any of the
regular agencies in the states.
I'm other words" Mrs. Shryver
said, these states, having set up bars
to voting, make no legal attempt to
enforce the law so that the citizens
may be compelled to pay that tax and
thereby be given the vote
In other states, laws are on the
books which allegedly would compel a
citizen to pay taxes under penalty of
fine or enforced labor. But few cases
are on record, as far as we know,
she said, "of anyone being forced to
pay his poll tax in any of these states.
at is very obvious Mrs. Shryver
added, that the legislation was drawn
up and it's enforcement so cleverly
disregarded in order 10 prevent people
from voting rather than to encourage
attendance at the polls on election
day"
