Retailers Hit nam Proposal
For General Excise Tax

The general manufacturers ex-
else tax proposed by the National
Association of Manufacturers en-
countered strong opposition today
from the American Retail Fedora
ton.
Rowland Jones, jr., president of
the association, described as rep
resenting 500, 900 retail stores, de-
clared such a tax would cause
price increases greater than the
amount of the tax itself.
This, he said, might be "a
catastrophe to the economy at a
time when the efforts Of business
and Government show promise Of
a gradual return to economic
stability" The prime need is Gov
eminent economy, not new ways
to raise taxes. he added.
The NAM proposal calls for a
uniform tax on all end products
Of manufacturing except food
products. The tax would replace
the present so-called luxury levies
on travel. entertainment, COM
munications and various items
such as jewelry and furs. NAM
also has urged a $4,000, ,000. 900
cut in Federal spending during
the next fiscal year.
