Excise Taxes Will Stay
|fMade Po|iticaIIssue,
Henderson Declares

There is grave danger that war
time excise taxes will be perma-
nent if their repeal is treated as
Ia political issue, Leon Henderson,
former OPA administrator, told
the American Retail Federation
today at the Hotel Statler.
He branded these taxes as now
having their most regressive and
retarding influence on the con-
sumption of consumer goods" He
recalled they were imposed during
the war to discourage buying of
certain goods, to conserve labor
and materials for the war effort.
Mr.. Henderson told Che conven-
ton: "The real menace is not
simply delay. but the danger that
politics will dictate only a partial
repeal, leaving the rest of these
discriminatory excises >perma-
nently embedded in our tax
structure.
Anderson Stresses Farm Problem.
Mr.. Henderson urged "a clear
stand for complete repeal of all
wartime rates. except those i'm
posed on alcohol and tobacco, Sc
that Congress and the administra-
ltion will understand that these
excise taxes have no place in our
peacetime economy"
Senator Anderson, Democrat, OF
New Mexico. speaking at last
nights federation banquet. asked
for aid in solving the farm surplus
problem by selling the people more
foods. He urged them to study
farm prices and the prosperity OF
farmers and said a drop in farm
income could "paralyZe the land
