. PROFITS BILL
OVERHAULING
IS PREDICTED
Senate Starts Talks
On Measure Passed
By House In Rapid
Voice Vote
WASHINGTON—i/D—The excess
profit* tax bill which whisked
through the house in less than four
hours went to the senate Friday
where signs pointed to considerably
less speed and a possible overhaul-
ing
Opposition to the bill was re-
ported in the finance committee I
where Senator LaFollette iProg-
Wlsi already was talking of even
•ttffer taxes than the excess proftt
levies of from 20 to 50 per cent
provided for by the house.
Speeds Through House
The house gave Its approval to
the complex measure Thursday
passage coming on a voice vote
which found only a handful ol
members dissenting. Its approval
was urged on the ground that It
would end the ‘ bottleneck" of tax
uncertainty on defense contracts..
and at the same time prevent the
•massing of huge “war fortunes.“
Besides the imposition of a 20 to
50 per cent excess profit* tax the
house-approved bill would:
1— Permit government contractor*
to *morti7e'‘ defense plant expan-
sions by deducting the cost of new
facilities from taxable income;
2— Suspend the present profit
limitation on warship and aiicralt
contracts;
3— Yield an estimated *300.000.000
revenue in 1040 and $000 000.000
annually thereafter.
The legislation went to the fi-
nance committee and. Chairman
Harrison (D-Mi&a) said hearings
would commence next Tuesday. The
senate leadership plans to start de-
bate the week after next.

terior Brazil between Para and the

the old route along the coast.

MILLS TAKING
MORE COTTON
But War Cuts Export
Trade Heavily
—
WASHINGTON ——The agri-
culture department said Thursday
domestic cotton mill consumption
was expected to continue excep-
tionally large during the next lew
months.
Even with record consumption
however the department added
restricted exports may reduce do-
mestic disappearance of cotton to
a level much below average.
Export* of raw rotton. the de-
partment said are likely to be
tr.e smallest since the Civil War if
Great Britain is able to maintain
It* blockade of continental Europe
Present prospects for domestic
consumption and exports indicate
an increase in the domestic carry-
over at the end of the current sea- .
son. but the department said It
should remain materially below the
record carryover of August 1 1939.

Wee**** ■+»»»»+*■ i
By DeWITT MarKEXZlE
I! England can hold out one
month more against the interallied
German bombing until October 1—
approximately the beginning of bad
Hying weather and rough seas in
the average year—I believe she will
have eaUoiianed her right to claim
that she may win the war.
If she cracks up before this fate-
ful month is passed obviously Hit-
ler has his conquest In the bag. We
shall be smart too. if we recognize
that his position is powerful.
Damage t'nrevraled
There’s one vi'al thing lacking
to make it possible for us to give
a close estimate 01 what may hap-
pen in the next month—and that s
how* much damage the British Lsiea
are suffering materially and how
much in morale if any. The Brit-
ish government wont give us the
answer to that and the Germans
are unable to.
It would be hard to believe that
the material damage isn’t heavy
but I believe more depends on the
condition of civilian morale. Eng-
land can stand to lose a lot of
homes and factories before her
situation will become desperate.
Public morale though must in-
crease wrtth adversity.
Morale Seems High
Indications are that the morale
of the British Isles is riding high.
A striking picture of England* will
to win is painted in an article car-
ried for Friday mornmc s papers
by the Associated Press from E. A.
Montague an English newspaper-
man In Lcndorv
i His theme is that he la happy
and Britain todav is a happy
country ’ because she at last set
to work to make good the years that
the locust had eaten1* during the
period of appeasement and inriiT-
lerence. and is determined "to
fight until either this nation or
Hitler is destroyed.”

minutes later
An hour before the afternoon

Into a solid wall of anti-aircraft

morning attacks on the rreat in-
dustrial northwest including the
textile center of Manchester.
The attack on the northwest on*
' of the heaviest of the war. was
coupled with others on the south-
east. th^midlands and south Wales.
Many persons were killed and ln-

Manchester has a population ol

"Stand-Bv Warnings1’
' Londons "stand bv" warning was

that factory work need not be halt-

A number of the casualties were
caused when one of the raiders

houses and badly damaging several
others on three roads
Bombs On Hospital
In another northeastern area
seme 30 incendiary bombs fell
around an isolation hospital.
One fell through the roof of a
ward from which all except two pa-
tients had been removed to a shel-

who smothered the bomb with
blankets.
A children's hospital also was hit.

system of free enterprise."

dress as a "grand speech splendid-
ly given before an appreciative
nation" in which his running

inclination to engage in purely
political debate."

ularly to the nations of North and
South America the speaker said.
"Hitler must not he permitted

Discuss Amendments
While waiting for debate the
house first had to dispose of sen-
ate amendments to the $5.133 62ft-
277 defense appropriation Nil car-
rying funds to start construction
of 200 warships for a "two-ocean"
navv and more than 14.000 air-
planes. The senate Thursday com-
pleted consideration of the bill in
a single day. Senator Lundem
tFL-Minn) raised the only voice
against passage.
The senate changes among oth-
er things would appropriate $100.-
000 000 for housing for defense
workers. $13.06V000 for improve-
ments at nine naval yards and
training stations and an increase
of $10 000 000 for naval aviation.
Dema Claim Votes
In getting ready for Burke-
Wadsworth bill debate neither
party planned a poll of its mem-
bers. The Demorra** said senti-
ment on their side of the aisle was
overwhelming; Republicans said
that *‘k is not a party matter; it
will be every man for hi* own
ideas."
The House committees’ conscrip-
tion bill was approved Thursday
ov a vote of 20 to 4. although
some members who favored send-
•ng 1* before the house reserved
the right to opnpee it later.
Like the Senate hill the house
’egislation would provide training
deferments for ministers men with
dependents the mentally and phys-
ically unfit and men in occupa-
tions deemed necessarv "to the
maintenance of the national health
safety or interest."
It also would limit service to
the western hemisphere and United
States territories and possessions
including the Philippines and
would virtually require that the
trainees be restored to their orig-
inal jobs when they return to civil
life.
The house committee's substitu-
tion of th» 21-to-44 age bracket
for the senate's 21-to-30 would
make 24 000 000 men subject to
registration and possible service.
The narrower bracket would af-
fect only 12.000 000
Another change in the bill was
the maximum of 1 000 000 set for
the number of trainees in train-
ing at any one time The Senate
maximum was poo 000
The Hoi sc militarv committee
avoided immediate action on the
question of mnuding the senate-
approved Russell-Overton amend-
ment whlcn would empower the
government to take over defense
industries when no satlafactorv
price and profit agreement could
be reached with the owner* on
army and navy orders.
Two proposals were made for a
similar amendment but. no vote
was taken and the sponsors were
given the weekend to work out
s'ich a provision to be presented
to the house as a committee
amendment.

W L. Mallory one of the found-

Thursday afternoon here en route
lrom Mexico City to San Antonio.
He was founder in 1923 of Cla.
Mexicans de Aviacion. together
with George Rihl. now vice presi-
dent of PAA. and Randall Piper
of San Antonio.
Out of his company which used
to fly payrolls to Tampico oil
fields the present dav PAA grew.
Mr. Mallory sold his interest in
1926 however shortly after Cui.
Mexicana de Aviacion had started
carrying mall between Tampico
and Mexico City.
Mr. Mallory is now representa-
tive in Tampico of an independent
New York oil firm.
While no longer connected with
aviation he still gets a thrill every
once in a while to think that he
was one of the founders of the
world's largest airway and one of
the world's first commercial air-
ways.
Here on the same plane was Miss
Ruth tie favigny. daughter of a
Nicaraguan coffee planter. She was
