Loan Story
to be Told

Washington. Aug. 1s-AP-The
Treasury is almost ready to tell
what It has learned about loans
obtained by Brig Gen. Elliott
Roosevelt.
Secretary Vinson said yesterday
that a report on loans to the son
OF the late President would be
made to the House Ways and Means
Committee August 81.
The committee had requested an
investigation after Columnist West
brook Pegler reported that General
Roosevelt had borrowed 100000
from John Hartford, president Of
the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Company in 1888. Pegler said Jesse
Jones, then secretary of commerce,
effected a settlement for $4,000.
and that Hartford listed the $4,000
loss as a bad debt on his 1912 In

Congress to
Have Income
t axDispute

Washington, Aug. 1s-INS-Con.
gress faced today the prospect OF
a tug-of-war on tax reduction as
Secretary OF the Treasury Vinson
prepared to submit postwar tax
program to the legislature in the
next few weeks.
A drive is expected to be made
to splash politically unpopular tax
es and cut individual income lev
les. There also will be 4 demand
to revise business taxes to speed
jobs.
Congressional sentiment indi-
Gates strong support for repeal or
drastic revision OF the IS per cent
excess profits tax on corporations,
effective next Jan. /.
Wilson'S program is expected to
provide for repeal OF this levy and
some Of the wartime excise taxes.
1t may call for reductions in other
excise levies.
The Treasury secretary told a
news conference that his views on
the tax program have not been
changed since July when he issued
a tax report as war mobilizer. In
that report, he said:
The excess profits tax should
be repealed after VI day. Taxes
on business earnings should be
modified. bearing in mind, on the
one hand, the revenue needs Of
the government and, on the other
the incentive for risk-taking and
expansion to be gained by modifi-
cation"
Vinson said nothing at that time
about a reduction in individual in
come levies. He declared that In
dividual income taxes should be
the main source OF postwar govern
ment revenue. and that the base
must be broad"
A strong demand exists in Con
gress, however, for some reduc-
lions in individual income taxes.
The new program may raise ex-
emptions TO a certain extent and
call for limited tax cuts, effective
Jan. /.

ton chief a few days ago at the
request Of John W. Snyder. recon.
version director. He has a long
background in the real estate and
building business.
Potter expects shortages OF lum-
Der and other building materials
to continue for awhile. But he
thinks controls should be lifted
so home builders will have some
incentive to get architects to go
10 work on plans.
"Therell be a little scrambling
for materials, sure, but that's good
for American business" Potter
said.
He predicted II will be possible
to build az least 100000 homes in
1916. and after that 100000 a
year.
Prospects for an early revival OF
building should put a big dent In
unemployment" Potter said. He
predicted that when things get
rolling four to eight million per
sons will have jobs in construction.

Washington, Aug. 1S-AP- The
War Labor Board invited private
industry today 10 apply it's own
brakes on wage increases during

the line against pay cuts.
The board will disband as soon
as current and anticipated dispute
cases are disposed of and it can
get its affairs in order. Wage sta
bilization then will be taken over
by some other agency.
Presumably some provision for
this will be made by Secretary Of

President Truman's new wage
policy authorizes employers to
make wage increases at will, with
out regard for the Little Steel for
mula. If no price boosts are in
volved.
WLB Chairman George w. Tay-
lor said the wage increases can be
given by employers Immediately
without even consulting the WLB.
The board will continue to en-
force the provision against wage
cuts below the highest rates paid
for a given job between January
and September Is. 1912.
