U. 5. Spending 10 Decline,
But Taxes Will STAY Hiqh

Congressional leaders today saw
the end of huge Government spend
ing, but failed to sight any quick
relief in taxes.
Reviewing the appropriation rec
ord of the first session of the Sew
enty- ninth Congress, which ended
its spending activities last Saturday
with House adjournment until Oc-
tober 8, Chairman Cannon of the
House Appropriations Committee
made this observation:
While the prosecution of the
Japanese war will continue to i'm
pose heavy demands, it is reasonable
to expect falling off of appropria-
tions for the armed services, and we
may expect to see lessening budgets
for war purposes by civilian agencies
which have had part in the war
program"
Regardless of the progress of the
Pacific war, Mr.. Cannon added that
his committee plans to review ap-
preparations for war purposes in
mid-flscal year with the view to re-
capturing any amounts which then
may appear to be unnecessary.

Recapping Of Defective
Scrap Tires Is Charged

Evidence uncovered recently indi-
Gates that some wholesalers buy
used tires from scrap piles, repair
and recap them improperly and sell
them to unsuspecting motorists, Ray
Grimshaw, president of the Ma
tional Association of Independent
Tire Dealers, Washington, an
nounced yesterday.
BLACK marketeers seek to take
advantage of shortages" Mr. Grim
shaw said. "but none are as dan
gerous as the man who knowingly
fails to properly repair tires or who
covers up defects with strip of
camelback and paints the tire to
look like finished product"
These tires have been distributed
to all parts of the country, he said.
They give very little mileage and
become menace on the highway. /"
