"The subcommittee is extremely
anxious to be fair and just to
every one who may be involved in

committee is deeply concerned
that there should be nothing in

cord with the facts and that un-

THE subcommittee does not feel
that it should subpoena your

it does not wish this to be in

On the contrary, we stand

Industry Set TO Spend
S10.4 Billion if Plants
Get Tax Concessions
By Francis P. Douolos

American industry plans tx
spend $10.4 billion for plants anc
equipment if it can get emer.
gency tax benefits through per.
mission to write off costs over 6
fve-year period.
The Defense Production Admin
1stration disclosed today that 81
far 1t has issued 447 accelerated
amortization certificates for plants
and facilities costing So billion
Writing off costs in a flve-yeal
period rather than over 20 years
reduces the company's taxes ir
the five years.
The DPA made it clear, how
ever, that only few applicants
will get permission to write of
total costs of emergency expan-
sion in five years.
Few Plants Affected.
"As matter of policy we have
certified facilities at 100 per cent
only where there was a clear pros
pect that the economic usefulness
of the facility would end with the
emergency" DPA said. Probably
q dozen cases have been certified
at the maximum amount. A ma
chine useful only for making mill
tary type barbed wire for the
Army is illustrative.
The $10.4 billion total is the ag-
gregate of 1919 applications re-
ceived up to February %.
The agency said that Or the
average, the tax certificates issued
applied to IA per cent of the
amount applied for. The company
expanding its facilities under a "a
per cent certificate would write off
IA per cent of the costs in the five
year period and at the same time
the normal depreciation for tax
purposes on the uncertifled
portion.
SiXty-thr applications for a
total of $50 million have been
turned down.
Table Gives Range.
DPA said that it has been con-
sidered sound policy to set the per-
centages to which the accelerated
amortization shall apply high
enough so that the incentive to
expand would have its effect on
an induStry-wide basis and not
only on the financially strong.
It gave a table indicating the
range of percentages and the types
of facilities certified as necessary
to national defense. Applications
for tax certificates were certified
at 100 per cent for special purpose
machine tools for making military
products exclusively. Tax certi-
ficates for only so per cent of
costs were allowed for facilities
producing high tenacity yarns
there are important military uses
for them-and for paper mills of
certain types.
General purpose machine tools
rate 80 per cent; blast furnaces, IS
per cent: aluminium reduction
plants, 80 per cent; steelmaking
furnaces, rs per cent; diesel elec-
trio locomotives, IS per cent, and
steel plant finishing facilities, so
per cent.
DPA said that during World
War II practically all of the GER
tificates issued by the Armed
Services were for 100 per cent of
the expenditures. After the War
Production Board took over the
certif1cation, DPA said, about 80
per cent of the certificates were
for only IS per cent of the cost.

Wage Board Dispute
Persists, but Johnston
Voices Optimism
By jones Y. Newton

The labor industry controversy
over wage controls apparently was
far from settled today despite the
remark of high Federal official
that he was encouraged" a solu-
ton could be found.
Economic Stabilizer Eric A.
Johnston told a radio audience Il
am encouraged by the prospect
that we will find a fair and work
able solution. :" He referred
not only to differences over wage
controls but the whole organized
labor split with the defense pro-
gram.
Mr.. Johnston said he had told
labor leaders he did not think
breaking away from the Wage
Sterilization Board was the way
to settle their differences. But
he added, the important thing
now is to find a sensible and rea-
sonable pattern that will enable &
wage board consisting of labor
management and public member.
to reassemble and function with.
out interruption"
He said he believes labor, man.
agement and farmers alike wanI
only fair and equal considera-
ton"
Disagree on Type of Board.
Mr.. Johnston has held week
long conferences with industry
and labor leaders in an effort to
find an agreeable basis for re-
establishing the wage board. 1t
was torn apart three weeks age
when the three labor members
resigned over the 10 per cent wage
increase formula.
But the two segments have been
unable to agree on the type OF
board which should be set up
Labor wants a board with au-
thority ito settle all iabor-manage-
ment disputes affecting the de-
fenSe program as well as power
to administer wage control pol
icy. Industry will have none of 1t
MIR. Johnston yesterday pro-
posed a compromise of the differ.
ences. He suggested that a new
wage control board be given the
limited authority to handle dis
putes arising over wage controls
and other economic issues. In
dustry seems inclined to accept it
but labor said NO"
Industry spokesmen have indi-
Gated that they will refuse tc
serve if the public-industry Labor
board is given unlimited jurisdic-
ton over disputes. They ~feal
such a board soon might be
establishing new patterns of in
dustrial relations completely apart
from normal bargaining processes
Labor Favors WLB Setup.
The setup labor wants would be
almost identical to the War Labor
Board of the last war. Industry
did not like. for one thing, the
maintenance of membership
provision adopted by the old board
which they say was used to force
workers to join unions.
After meetings yesterday with
both labor and management Off
cials, Mr.. Johnston said there had
been some "give and take" but
that he found no reason for opti-
misrn about settlement of the
wage control controversy.
He will meet again Monday with
representatives of the National
Association of Manufacturers, the
United States Chamber of Com
merce and the Committee fol
Economic Development.
Meanwhile, Stabilization officials
were discouraged by a new whole
sale price index which hit a new
all-time high. Wholesale prices
rose three -tenths of a per cent in
the week ended March 6 to a Level
20.2 per cent over year ago. II

had been halted because in two

the subcommittee under OATH
Senator Fulbright wrote.
A reply came in the form of this
brief statement last night: ''The
Department of Justice announced
that a Federal grand jury in the
District of Columbia will begin an
inquiry on March IL into certain
other aspects relating to the cur
rent RFC hearings before a Sen
ate Banking and Currency SUBJ
committee"
Attorneys Assigned.
Other sources said the depart
ment has assigned three Of its at
torneys to handle the inquiry. The
subcommittee already has offered
the cooperation of its legal coun-
sci, John r. M. Redden. Mr.. Red
den is a former Justice Depart
ment attorney who took part in
the prosecution Of former Repre-
sentative Andrew j. May and
Henry and Murray Carson here
four years ago.
Subcommittee members refused
to predict what might come out
of the grand jury. But two OF
them, Chairman Fulbright. ar
Arkansas Democrat. and Senator
Capehart, an Indiana Republican
differed on whether the subcom-
mittee's disclosures to date have
turned up anything on the scale
of the Teapot Dome scandal OF
the early 1920s.
Senator Capehart declared the
hearings have exposed corruption
and rottenness" which makes the
Teapot Dome scandal look like
Sunday school stuff" He de-
manded that President Truman
apologize, eat crow and take ap-
propriate action to correct abuses. .
The Indiana Senator urged a gen.
eral investigation Of Government
agencies.
Sees No Analogy.
Senator Fulbright, noting that
the subcommittee has not un.
covered evidence of bribery or any
other law violation, said he saw
mo appropriate analogy" between
Teapot Dome and the testimony
about the play of influence ane
favoritism on RFC.
He recalled that the scanda
of the Harding administration
touched Cabinet officers, one o1
whom went to jail, and other.
involved in leasing of Govern.
ment Oil reserve lands to private
interests.
II do not intend to mining,
the seriousness Of the situation
that our subcommittee has dis.
closed" he declared. II haven
ruled out the possibility that oul
investigation might unearth Law
violations. And there is also tn,
possibility that there has beer
perjured testimony.
But the main thing we have
turned up, I believe, is the evi.
dence of improperly in officia
conduct. That evidence has beer
so extensive that it warrants al
examination Of the whole leve
of moral standards in govern.
ment. Deterioration of mora
standards, even If there is M
actual breaking Of laws, can de-
| stroy a government. If such de-
terioration is widespread"
Senator Fulbright, who las
week exclaimed that IT have nevel
heard so much lying in my life,'
said today he is disturbed also BY
protestations of so many witnes'
ses who said they saw nothing
wrong in various types of reported
influence and favoritism.
According to their thinking
their conduct is all right" HI
commented. Il think it Is al

Churches Need Aid
To Meet Costs and
Expand Activities
IMITATION has not

IMITATION has not spared
4 Americas churches.
Rising costs have forced many
churches to curtail youth and mis-
sionary activities of benefit to the
entire community. Other churches
have had to postpone desperately
needed repairs. And many are the
churches that have had TO close
their doors to the public more
often because of the bloated cost of
maintenance.
How then can churches, Strug-
Cling to break even, hope to ex-
rand their activities to meet the
nations pressing need for moral
enlightenment and spiritual direc-
ton?
The answer is an old one. We,
the members of their congrega-
tions, must make gifts to the
churches in spirit of willingness
that clearly demonstrates will TO
serve.

and every one whom his spirit
made willing" brought offerings
TO the tabernacle of the congrega-
tion. -
While the souls of worShipers
will always be the most beautiful
adornment of cathedrals, temples
and churches, concrete evidence of
willingness TO give must also be
present.
Recognizing the crippling effect
of imitation upon churches with
limited incomes, we must make
ample offerings TO the church that
their effective use may help to
spread the glorious message Of
peace and love throughout the
world.
And we must remember that
willingness is at the heart of all
true worship.
