NEW YORK. Sept. 18.-The
battle of the horseless carriages
has come to an end. And let it
be known that a 1918 Stanley
Steamer is speedier than a 1911
Standardization.
However, for the sake of ac-
curacy in a superSonic era, it
might better be said that the
Standardization crawls along a
trif1e slower than the steam pro-
PEELED relic.
In the 1,086-mile struggle which
began in Chicago a week ago yes
terday, the steamer averaged
2o,46 miles an hour. The de-
feated gas buggy's average was
20.22 miles an hour.
The four-wheeled tea kettle
wheezed along a finish line yes
terday about a minute ahead of
the gasoline-fueled antique. It's
actual margin of victory for the
entire trip. however, was 81 min
utes.
The one-minute figure repre-
sents the difference in time it took
the two cars to reach a point near
the Yonkers-New York City line
from Poughkeepsie, N. Y. rs miles
away in the stretch drive which
began yesterday morning.

and 4 minutes to make the trip

House Seen FaVorinu
Retention Of 3-Cent
First-CIass Letter
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

The House seemed likely to agree
today with President Truman that
3 cents should remain the cost of
mailing letter.
But the penny postcard appeared
doomed.
A bill calling for an overall in
crease of $138. 100000 in postal
rates was before the House, with
passage expected tomorrow.
Product of the House Post Office
Committee, it calls for boosts in
first, second and third class rates.
but no change in the present cost
OF mailing an ordinary letter.
A bill passed by the Senate
designed to add $4OO million to
postal revenues annually-would
raise the postage on a letter to 4
cents. That would make the main
difference between estimated
yields of the two measures.
Both bills are intended to help
whittle down the Post Office De-
partment'S chronic operating def
cit, estimated to exceed $500 mil
hon this fiscal year.
Unless the House changes its
measure to provide more revenue
than is now contemplated. the
postal department deficit might
actually be increased at this ses-
sion Of Congress.
For, following the rate bill, the
House will consider a Senate
approved bill to give postal en-
ployeS a pay raise estimated to add
5000 million to the annual cost of
the department.
Sentiment in the House is.
against any increase in the cost
OF mailing flrst-clasS letters. and
there is strong feeling to pare
down some proposed raises in
Second-class matter.
Addressing the annual meeting
of the National Association Of
Postmasters here yesterday, Mr
Truman said he opposes raising
tlrst-clasS rates which, he said !
pay their own way at 3 cents.

In addressing his sixth meeting

u. 5. Prepared 10 Use
Tax Weapon 10 Curb
Prices, Johnston Says
BY the Associufed Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-Eco
nomic Stabilizer Eric Johnston
says the attitude of beef ane
metals" toward price controls il
almost deliberate defiance" anc
the Government plans to cracl
down If the situation continues.
Mr.. Johnston. former president
of the United States Chamber o1
Commerce, made the statement ir
addressing 500 persons last night
at dinner meeting in connection
with the 74th annual convention
of the American Bar Association
He said a recent amendment
gives President Truman power tc
strike out income tax deductions
which have a basis in price OF
wage control violations.
Ready to Use Weapon.
Mr.. Johnston declared:
This is weapon we are pre-
pared to use whenever we have
no other choice-whenever the
stabilization program is threat
ened by deliberate defiance.
1--WE may be approaching that
situation right now with respect
to some of the most important
items in short Supply-such as
metals, such as beef"
Without celebrating on his ref
erences to beef and metals" Mr..
Johnston continued:
Il want to serve notice right
now that we are going to give no
quarter to black marketeers and
will use all of our powers against
them"
Provision in New Law.
Mr.. Johnston did not enlarge
on the tax amendment, either
But he apparently referred to a
written into the new
controls law which provides:
The President shall also pre-
scribe the extent to which any
payment made, either in money or
by any person in viola
ton OF any such (price or wage)
order or requirement
shall be diSregarded by the execu-
tive departments and other gov
ernmental agencies in determin-
ing the costs or expenses of any
such person for the purposes of
any other law or regulation, in
Guiding bases in determining gain
for tax purposes"
The President, under this provi-
sion. could direct that agencies
disregard any income tax deduc-
tlons claimed for materials pur-
chased in the black market or at
above-ceiling prices. He could act
IN like manner on deductions
claimed for labor costs in cases
where wage rates exceeded those
allowed under existing regulations
Speaking extemporaneously, Mr.
johnston digressed from his pre-
pared text, but he authorized
its use.
SnOOpers Ruled Out.
He said the consumer price
index has risen only l per cent
since he has been in office.
Ruling out "snoopers and secret
police" MI. Johnston said the
Economic Sterilization Admins
tration hopes to operate through
the understanding and voluntary
help of businessmen, workers and
farmers.
He declared:
When the day comes that we
can safely scrap our economic
controls-and that day should
come within two years-it will
mean that the cracks in our de-
tense armor have been welded
tight and strong"
