Washington, D. C.-This is going to be banner year for profits, the Office of Price Administration pre- dicted. With excess profits taxes repealed, 4ndustry should earn it's greatest profits in history, the fed eral agency said.
 This statement is especially sig nificant because American business made profit history in the last two years and earnings are still going up.
 The figures for 1945 are not yet available, but they were greater than in 1914, fantastic" profit year.
 American workers and trade unions should be interested in ex- amining the profit figures for 1944, as revealed in statement filed by the OPA with the Senate Small Business Committee. Profit in- creases in 1944 over the 1936-39 pe- riod, which was quite prosperous, include:

 So much for retailers. These in- creases in profits show how we'll the wholesalers also fared:
 Hardware wholesalers, 179 per cent; dry goods, 639 per cent; gro- cery 25 per cent.
 Of course, the distribution end of business, on the whole, took a back seat to the manufacturing end, as these profit increases emphasize:
 All manufacturing, 450 per cent: textile and leather, 730 per cent; transportation equipment, $50 per cent; metals and products, 59O per cent; building materials, 27O per cent; chemicals, 230 per cent; food, beverages and tobacco, 200 per cent.

To Shift Welfare Home
Units From Capital

Rev1v11g bill he offered in 1941,
Representative Case, Republican, Of
South Dakota proposed to the
House yesterday that a number Of
welfare and other institutions be
removed from Washington to pros
vide sites for essential Government
buildings, traffic and other purposes.
His new bill, almost the same as
the 1941 version which was side
tracked because of the war" was
referred to the House Public Build
ings and Grounds Committee.
1t would create a Committee on
Capital Clearance, consisting of the
chairman of the Park and Planning
Commission, the president of the
Board Of Commissioners and the
administrator of the Federal Works
Agency.
This group would be directed to
report on the advisability Of re-
moving from Washington the Ma
tional Training School for Boys,
the National Training School for
Girls, the Columbia Institute for the
Deaf, the Home for the Aged and
Infirm, the white and colored In
dustrial Home Schools and use of
part of the grounds of Soldiers
Home and st. Elizabeth's Hospital
and what is left of the Arlington
Farms and the old Washington
Hoover Airport not absorbed in the
War Departments Pentagon Build
ing.
Mr.. Case said he revived his bill
because "hasty efforts" to meet the
housing and traffic problems here
had not proved satisfactory" He
said he could not understand why
the Government must compete with
private interests over relatively
small buildings sites when such
large undeveloped tracts were avail
able.
Two of the institutions mentioned
already are scheduled to be moved
from Washington. These are the
National Training School for Girls
and the Industrial Home for white
children. New homes are to be
