Botneneck Held Peril
To Veterans Housinu

A bottleneck in woodworking ma
chinery threatens to delay the vet
erans' housing program, an indus
try leader disclosed here today, as
Housing Administrator Wilson w.
Wyatt pressed for an early solution
of the problem of seeing that vet
Grams get their moneys worth when
they buy new homes.
Sources close to Mr.. Wyatt said
decision on two main points is ex-
pected to be reached this week by
housing officials charged with ad-
ministering and financing phases of
the veterans housing program.
First, the Government must de-
termine how thorough an inspec-
ton will be provided for homes un-
der course of construction. and sec
ond, how much additional data
builders will be required to file be-
fore being granted priorities.
Yesterday Mr.. Wyatt, Raymond
M. Foley, Federal Housing Commits
sioner, and Veterans Administrator
Bradley joined in a statement ad-
mitting that the price-quality prob
lem existed and declaring a solution
is being sought.
Meanwhile, a recently completed
survey has disclosed that many in
dustries have discontinued manu-
facture of critically needed wood
working machines, o. V. Haegg
president of the Association OF
Woodworking Machinery Manufac-
turers, declared today.
In a statement issued before the
meeting of a delegation of ma
chinery makers with OPA Admin
istrator Paul A. Porter this after
noon, Mr.. Haegg said present pro-
duction of woodworking machinery
lis so far behind the rate needed to
provide millWork, flooring, framing
lumber and other wood products

the tWo-year housing program will
fail unless the Government takes

The taxes on the rest OF the peo-
pie still are pretty high. The main
reason Congress didn't give any.
one a bigger cut was this.
Government expenses for years
have been-and still are-more
than the money the government
takes in through taxes.
The closer the government gets
TO reducing its expenditures so
they'll be paid for by the revenue
II takes in, the better able Con-
gress will be TO lower taxes.
That time will come, probably
in 1947.
In Congress two very important
committees have tax experts: the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee and the Senate Finance. Com
mittee.
The Senate committee right now
has one OF its experts studying
this problem, among others:
Whether the income a man earns
should be taxed less than the IN
come a man gets from investments.
The House committee, however,
is busy holding hearings on Social
Security. These will take some
time to complete.
The fact that the House commit
tee is not busy with taxes right
now is a pretty good indication
that Congress won't tackle taxes
any time soon.
Meanwhile. Albert ]. Browning,
acting director OF the Office Of Do
mestic Commerce in the Commerce
Department, has some ideas on
taxes.
He recently said in effect that the
high taxes are a tax on ambition
and that high yriced businessmen
are discouraged from trying to get
bigger salaries. He has experts
studying this problem.
But here are examples OF how
