AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 5 (AP).
The Texas chain store tax was up-
held finally in State Supreme
Court today as that body over-
ruled the motion of the chains for
a rehearing of their appeal.
Most stores now owe the state
taxes for 1936, ’37 and ’38, amount-
ing to between $3,000,000 and $4,-
000,000. The law became effective
in January, 1936, but the state so
far has realized nothing from it
due to the court attack.
Attorneys for the chains indi-
cated they would appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United
States? The state’s highest trib-
unal quoted liberally from deci-
sions of the nation’s Supreme
Court, however, in its opinion
holding the tax constitutional.
Under the statute, stores are re-
quited to pay the following an-

Mr Roosevelt asked an increase
of $34,300,000 to bring national
defense spending up to a record
peacetime level of $991,300,000 in
1939. His message mentioned a
