u. 5. Worried by Rise
OF Australian Wool;
Soviet Bids Up Price
By Sam Dowson
Associoted Press Finance Editor

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Price-
happy Australian wool growers
have American weavers and suit
makers worried. With fleece SELL
ing in the Sydney auctions at
prices 40 to so per cent higher
than last June, it looks now as
if you'll pay around S. more for
next springs suit, maybe more
than that the following fall.
The spectacular wool price rise
even worries the Australians.
Merchants there are quoted in
today's cables as predicting cloth
ing prices down under will rise by
80 to so per cent. AS a result,
some gloomily foresee the day
when synthetic yarns will gain
more of a beachhead in the land
of wool.
The American Government Is
believed to be watching the wool
auctions closely because of its
coming need to outfit a larger
military force. Reports have per-
sisted that Washington officials
have been seeking to induce the
Australian government to sell the
United States a stockpile of wool
which could be doled out here to
American mills working on mill
tary orders.
Russians Bid Up Prices.
Russian buyers became factor
in the Australian auctions two
years ago, bidding prices up and
taking large quantities of high
grade apparel wool. Russians
bought 80 million pounds there last
year.
European buyers at the Sydney
auctions are reported particularly
anxious lest Russian and Ameri-
can competition this year might
send wool prices above the point
where British and Continental
mills can operate proftably. At
the Bradford (EnglandD wool mar
ket, prices have advanced by 20
to 40 per cent in two months.

Committee May Split
On Tax 'LoophoIes';
Oil Industry 10 Testify
BY the Assoeioted Press

Doubts were raised in Congress
today that President Truman will
get all the revenue he wants from
plugging loopholes in the tax laws.
The big question involved spe-
cial tax allowances granted to the
oil industry. Mr.. Truman says
these allowances are loopholes.
The industry says they aren't.
| A score of industry spokesmen
were called to present their views
today before the House Ways and
Means Committee.
The overall change Mr.. Tru-
man is asking would add $780,
100000 to the Federal income
5000, 100000 of it from revisions
in the oil and mine depletion al
loWance. That allowance is a spe-
cial tax deduction granted on the
! ground that the value of a well
or mine is depleted as oil or metal
is removed.
Heavier Cuts Possible.
In return for the half million
dollars saved by the collection of
additional taxes, Mr.. Truman told
Congress he would agree to a cut
of equal size in excise levies. But
he said he would veto any bill to
cut Federal taxes on such things
as luggage, jewelry and transror-
tation tickets if the Government
loses revenue on the deal
Despite that position, there was
talk in Congress of cutting even
deeper intoseXcises, while plugging
fewer "loopholes" than the Presi-
dent proposed.
On the Ways and Means Com
mittee, sentiment appeared to be
shaping up something like this:
l. A sharp division on the pro-
posal affecting the oil and mining
industries, with a possible COM
promise in prospect.
2. Overwhelming support for
stopping up what Mr.. Truman
designated as other loopholes-
such as certain provisions giving
special tax consideration to edu-
cational and charitable institu-
tions and labor organizations.
3. Strong committee sentiment
to outlaw "collapsible corpora
tons such as those formed to
produce one motion picture with
the idea, Mr.. Truman said, of
avoiding the normal income taxes
and paying only the smaller cap
ital gains tax.
Threat to Industry Seen.
On the oil question, Represent
atives Boggs. Democrat, of Louis
lana and Combs, Democrat, of
Texas laid the groundwork for the
resistance forces by assailing the
administration proposal as a
threat to the development of the
industry.
The Treasury has proposed
cut in the depletion allowance
from 271a per cent of the gross
income to Is per cent.
One committee member said
compromise figure larger than Is
per cent may be reached, and the
committee might recommend that
SOME allowances be denied per-
sons who buy oil wells already de-
|veloped.

Healy River Coal Strike Ends;Miners Get Pay Hike

FAIRBANKS, (P - A 16-day strike at the Healy River Coal Company ended Sunday night when more than 60 miners return ed to the pits.
 A back-to-work order was is sued after a contract was signed by the company and the United Mine Workers Union Qnd0, which recently organized employees at the Suntrana, Alaska, mine.
 The new agreement went into effect after union members voted last Friday to accept a company cOunter-Offer granting wage raises from 20 to 4212 cents hourly, high CT vacation pay, formation of grievance committees and increas- ing daily shifts of underground workers from to 812 hours.
 The union had demanded a blanket increase of 4712 cents an hour for all workers. Pre-strike scales were S2.2712 hourly.
 All provisions of the new con- tract, dated Sept 30, were retro active to Sept. 1.
 A normal flow of coal is expect ed here this week. The mine sup plies about 200 tons daily to the Fairbanks Exploration company powerplant, source of nearly two thirds of this city's electricity.
 Agreement was reached in pro- longed negotiations attended in the final week by Henry Benson, Territorial commissioner of labor.
 The Healy River mine was own ed by the late Gap" Austin E. Lathrop and was the scene of his death in a coal car accident July 26. It was his largest Alaska in- duStrial operation.

 Hershey made this and three other major recommendations to the House armed services commit tee which is studying possible re- vision in the draft.
 The other suggested changes:
 To modify deferment for de- pendency. He would have defer ment for collateral dependents wiped out.
 To remove restrictions on induc- ton of veterans under 26 years of age.
 To watch carefully that the "ac- ceptability" standard does not get out of hand.
 Tn explanation of the third sug- gestion Hershey said he believed Eve are going to have to get a new approach to capacity to serve"
 Although he did not specify, this apparently would mean less strict qualifications.
 Hershey made no recommenda- tions for changing the present draft age of 19 through 25.
 In fact, he said he believed that the army could be raised and maintained by depending on this age group if the other suggestions ale adopted.
 Chairman Vinson D.-GaD is di- recting the work of the House committee to find what is needed, as he said. to "attain the size of the army contemplated" Vinson himself did not give any exact figure on the size.
