MonyPrivote Planes Seen

Boston, June IS - CUP) - Civil Aeronautics Administrator Charles I. Stanton predicted today that there would be 300,00o civilian planes and 5000 airports in the United States within four years after the war ends as compared with 25,000 planes and 5000 airports to- day.
 Addressing the 18th quarterly meeting of the New England Coun- ell, Stanton termed the plane figure small" as compared with the 32,- GOO 000 automobiles registered in the United States in 1941.
 No modern nation can survive and prosper without air power" said Stanton. 'The base of such air power is sound civilian aviation structure"
 He added that nine out of 10 of the 300,o00 civilian planes will be small aircraft flown by private flyers for business or pleasure or both"
 Most of the younger generation is going to learn to fly whether we like 1t or not" he said.8S Some par- ents undoubtedly will object, just as some of our parents objected to our driving or even riding in automo- piles or just as their parents in turn had doubts about the bicycle. l"
 Private planes of the future, he said, will be:
 1. Conventionally designed plane two to ight passengers, with 90- 200 mile-an-hour capacity. Cost, $l,- 900 to $20,000.
 2. The Armchair" plane, simp- Ter and safer, two to six passengers, 90-l50 miles an hour. Cost $1 ,000 to $10,000.
 3. Helicopters. rocket ships, readable airplanes with detachable wings.
 President Donald J. Moore of the New England Export Club urged that New England's economy be strengthened by development of the regions export trade.

WA Calls for Record
Crops in 1945 10 Fill
Growing War Needs
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.

By MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.
War Food Administration, call
ing on the Nations farmers for
another record effort in 1945,
today recommended planting of
nearly 1854, 4,000, 1000 acres next
year to meet the needs of civil
ians, the armed forces, our Allies
and for relief purposes.
The 1945 national production pro-
gram, which calls for about the
same total crop acreage as was
planted this year, will be submitted
to State agriculture leaders Monday
for setting Of State goals.
Sharp increases were recommended
in some crops, particularly sugar
cane, flax and sugar beets, and in
creased marketing of some classes
of livestock was urged. Acreages for
other crops call for about the same
paintings as in 1914.
I'VE Cannot Risk Shortage"
Warning that I'VE cannot risk the
possibility of a shortage" War Food
Administrator Jones declared:
"The food production job for next
year will be as important to the war
and to the peace as it was in 1914.
Some shifts in the pattern of pro-
duction will be needed in line with
changing demand situations, but the
total needs will continue to be great.
We must make certain that we have
plenty for our armed forces, for
civilians, for our Allies and for relief
needs. To allow a margin of safety
in case of adverse weather and to
assure maintenance of our reserve
stocks, we will need to plant the
same total acreage as in 1874"
Flaxseed Heads List.
Largest production increase rec
commended in the suggested goals is
a SO per cent boost in flaxseed acre
age for next year, based on an an
ticipated tight supply in fats and
oils. An increase of Al per cent in
sugar beet acreage and II per cent
In sugar cane acreage-reflecting a
concern over the current shortage
of sugar-is also recommended.
Other goals call for a slight in
crease in the number of pigs to be
farrowed, in milk production, in
chickens for market and in cattle
slaughter A decrease of about is
per cent in egg production was rec
commended, however.
Other crop increases recommend
ed were: Wheat, l per cent: rye,
per cent; potatoes, per cent: flue-
cured tobacco, 3 per cent; hurley
tobacco, 2 per cent; other domestic
tobacco. Is per cent: tame hay, 4
per cent; hay seeds, 8 per cent, and
cover crop seeds. SO per cent.

American Financiers
Urge Tariff Reduction
In Postwar Period
By the Associateo press.

ny the Akboe1aLeU Er01o.
RYE, N. Y. Nov. 15.--Any for
eign investments by the United
States in the postwar reconstruct
ton period must be accompanied
by the projection Of technical
skills and managerial know-how, :,
in the opinion Of American dele
gates to the International Business
Conference.
This idea was broached in dis
cussions of this Nations part in
the international trade situation
by q statement Of the American
delegation calling for the exercise
of sound judgment in the invest
ment Of capital in productive for
eign enterprise" after the war.
The statement was read to the
private investment panel of the
conference yesterday by Curtis E.
Calder, president of the American
and Foreign Power Corp. and one
of the United States delegates to
this meeting of businessmen and
bankers from So nations.
The statement urged a revision
of tariff rates to encourage the
flow of imports to this country on
the grounds that foreign invest
ments can be justified only IF the
reasonable expectation exists that
such loans will result ultimately in
return to the creditor country of
goods and services in a commen-
surate amount"
The United States faces the dan
ger, the statement said, of not meet
ing this economic reality and ad-
justing its tariff schedules so as to
bring about an excess Of imports at
some reasonably early date"
"The American delegation recog-
nizes the urgent need for general
reduction Of tariffs throughout the
world and the elimination of other
barriers to international trade" Mr..
Calder said.
I'VE feel the United States should
assume a position of aggressive lead
ership in this movement, and, to
the extent that revision in tariff
may be necessary to reverse our pre-
vious American trade balance, such
tariff revisions should be made"
The American statement was
greeted with enthusiasm by the del
egates from other nations for it rep
resented the first time that business |
leaders in this country had taken
SO pronounced a stand on lower
tariffs.

To File New Form

Your withholding tax may change
In January, and in that connection
the Internal Revenue Bureau today
issued this reminder to people who
work on salaries and wages:
You must I'LL out q new with

hand it to your employer not later
than December /.
The latest income tax law provides
q new method Of counting ex-
|emptions. Your employer needs this
certificate in order to know how
much tc deduct from your pay
starting January /.
Your withholding tax may 90 up
or 1t may 60 down, depending on
the individual case. Congress has
written new and more detailed tables
for computing the amount.
Tax Nearer Actual Figure.
In general these tables are sup
posed to bring the Withholding tax
more closely in line with the actual
income tax, so that Uncle Sam won't
owe you as much, or you won't owe
him as much, at the end of the year
The national average of with

II you have two or more children
chances are good that your tax will
be less than before.
II you are single, or married with
one child, the tax will fuctuate ir
individual cases, but the average will
be about the same.
Your employer will furnish the
Withholding exemption certificate
for you to fill out. He may have
done SO already. You can prob
ably do the job in two minutes.
Wage Brackets Changed.
The new withholding tables have
81 wage brackets instead of the SIC
stepping stones of the old system
within which the tax remains con-
slant. An employe in the lower part
OF the $40 bracket tends to pay
more In withholding than he should
and has to get a refund from the
Government. An employe in the
upper part doesn't pay enough and
tends to owe the Government at
the end Of the year.

withholding tax might go up or down

must be approved by a thirds
vote in the Senate. The House has
no voice in treaty making.
Mr.. Martin, former chairman of
the Republican National Committee,
issued his first statement on the
role of Republicans in Congress,
following the Democratic triumphs
in the election last week. With no
references to campaign charges and
countercharges on isolationism, he
declared: Q
"The Republicans in Congress will
continue to give their full support
to the war and the building Of an
enduring peace. We will continue
to be militant and vigorous force
for sound Government and the
American way of life" His state
ment continued:
"The 1914 election demonstrated
the strength OF the Republic; that
We could unitedly prosecute q. world
war and at the same time we could
engage in hard fight for the eco
nomic policies in which we believe.
Predicts Future Victories.
Mr.. Martin said the closeness of
the vote last week gives the party
every right to look forward with
expectation to victories in 1946 and
1948." He made this observation:
"A change Of some 325,0O0 votes
properly distributed in the States
OF Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Il
linois, Kentucky, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire,
Michigan, New Jersey, New Mexico,

were needed to win"
