hem Center, and a proposed new
project, which, according to re-
ports, have been proposed by COM
mittee of the Community Chest.
According to reports, several mem
bers of the board, as we'll as the
former director of the Center, Miss
Carrier, have prepared reports to
be made public respecting the con-
troversy between the Center and
the Community Chest.
Aside from the contribution made
through employer sources, Negro
contribution to the Chest Fund
here have been outstanding during
the war years, and it is impossible
to estimate the total sum contri-
buted by Negroes, but with the
knowledge of the reason for the
dropping of the Center from the
fund being already pretty general
among Negroes of the city, some
difficulty is being expected before
the Negro will be ready to rally to
the forthcoming campaign.

Army Refund
of II Billion
Dollars Made

Washington, Jan. 96-lNS -
Chairman Sheppard (D) Calf. OF
the House Naval Appropriations
Subcommittee predicted today the
Navy will have some unexpended
funds" to be recorded along with
the Army's giant appropriation ere
fund" OF more than twenty-seven
billion dollars.
The addition OF sl4.214,S77,0O0 to
previously announced sl3,163,-
$500 Army sum placed in Bud
get Bureau reserve through cur
tailment OF military requirements
and price reductions was ALL
nounced by Rep. Snyder (D) Pa.
chairman of the Military Appro'
priations Subcommittee.
Sheppard emphasized that the
Navy and Army balances were mot
at all comparable" because while
the Army's expansion has be
come static" the Nays needs
equipment and personnel increase.
AS a result, he said. unexpended
balances in the Navy appropriation
will be smaller and will be applied
to the next Navy Appropriation
Largest saving in the War De
partment refund was credited to
price reductions in the amount OF
$40, 916.000 900.
According to Brig. Gen. Gee j..
Richards, a companion saving OF
$3.50, ass, 900 through reductions ,
requirements was due mainly to
"cut-backs in the ordnance pro
gram
shifts in the grand strategy o.
the war and the emphasis on differ
ent theaters OF operation affected
the quantities and types OF weap-
ons and ammunition which were
needed" he told Snyder's subcom-
mitteee. This resulted in many re-
auctions in the Army program upon
which the 1914 estimates were
based.
Among the largest reductions
we're over 10000 tanks, over 1000
COMM anti-sircraft guns, over
5000 75-MM guns and billions OF
rounds OF small-arms ammunition. :"

Meat lasted
by Rationiing

Washington, d. c., Jan. 2s-Mil-
lions of pounds OF meat have been
wasted because OF rationing and
price restrictions according to
testimony given a Senate sub-com-
mittee Tuesday.
j. II. Meek, director of the Vir-
ginia state division of markets, cou.
pied his testimony of meat losses in
Virginia with predictions OF a meat
shortage within the next five
months unless government restric
tons are modified.
Meek estimated that 10000
pounds OF meat went to waste on
the Richmond, Va, market in the
week OF Dec. ell and that millions
OF pounds OF pork had been lost
through adverse marketing condi-
tons.
Sen. Butler (R., Neb., put before
the committee a statement that
about 1000 hogs died of suffoca-
ton and other causes at the Omaha
stock yards during recent week
end. He said that was typical OF
what was happening at the big mar
kets because Of abnormal selling Of
hogs by producers.
Meek testified producers have
flooded the markets with unfin-
ished animals and have been forced
to take losses because support and
ceiling prices failed to take into ac-
count rs to so per cent Jump in
production costs.
cit iE my opinion that we face an
actual meat shortage within four or
five months unless prices are ad-
tusted and rationing is temporarily
suspended to restore a normal mar
ket," Meek said.
He was the first witness before
the subcommittee which is consid-
ering q resolution by Sen. Thomas
(R., Idaho,) to recommend to the
War Food Administration and the
Office Of Price Administration that
an indefinite rationing holiday be
declared on all meats.
Meek proposed that rationing.

ing increases in the parity price in
dex OF those items.
Jones said the support program

purchases OF commodities for mill
tary, .lend-lease and other govern
mental uses, and, for some commod-
tiles, direct payments to farmers
or professors.
'Tt must be clearly understood
that this proposal is subject to ap-
proval by Congress In making pro-
vision for carrying out the sup
port price program and will not be
effective unless such provision is
made" Jones declared.
Yet to be announced are price
support programs for prunes. rails
ms, dried cut fruits, vegetables for
processing and certain fruits for

toes, eggs, cheese vegetables for
canning, fruits for processing and

Taxes Nears

Washington, Jan. gins
gressional conferees moved TO-DAY
toward an early complete agree
ment on differences between Sen.
ate and House tax legislation af
ter having virtually settled the fed
srsl income taxpayers bill for
1914.
Members agreed that the nast
blk tax Job OF Congress is an at
tempt to simplify the incOulo r..
structure. They reported wide
spread complaint from citizens
throughout the country over com
plexities OF the tax returns which
must be filed March IS.
The conference agreement, which
accepted Senate changes in the
House measure. boosts the tax
bill OF individual taxpayers BY
sss4 s60. 900. This Is done by con
tinuing the victory tax at flat ;
per cent rate. repeating the earn
ed income credit and denying de.
duetions for excise taxes paid the
federal government.
Rep. Knutson tR) M!nn. made
ar unsuccessful effort to adopt
the Carlson tax simplification bill.
which Is designed TO relieve TWEEN
y five million taxpayers OF the ne
cessity OF filing tax returns.
1T was ruled out OF order but
the Ways and Means Committee
will begin work in earnest on tax
simplification as soon as this bill
is out OF the way" Knutson said.
The people are demanding t."
For 1894 the normal and surtax
rates on individuals will remain
IRE same as last year.
