THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, 'APRIL 18, 1937—PART ONE. y * B3 PEAKAUTO QUTPUT 130,000 New Units Ex- pected—Highest Level Since 1929 Production. B the Associated Press. DETROIT, April 17.—The United States automobile industry, pointing its productive machinery to the high- est levels since 1929, expects to roll 130,000 new cars and trucks off assem- bly lines next week. Divisions of the Chrysler Corp. and the Hudson Motor Car Co. are nearing full production again after lengthy strikes. 2 ‘The only apparent threat to the assembly schedule lies in relations be- tween the United Automobile Workers of America and the Ford Motor Co., only producer which has not nego- tiated with the union. Ford Official Undisturbed. A Ford official said he was undis- turbed by a statement of Homer Mar- tin, U. A. W. A. president, that “We will have Henry Ford definitely on the Tun by Monday.” The union head had indicated charges against the Ford company might be filed with the National Labor Relations Board. A Dbelief that Ed Hall, U. A. W. A, Vice president reported en route to Kansas City to investigate the beat- ing of two union employes of a Ford plant as a possible basis for charges before the labor board, had “changed his mind” was expressed by the Ford company official. “That was a fight among their own gang,” he said, “and Hall knows it now.” Output Near 130,000 Level, ‘The industry nearly reached the 130,000 unit output level this week, ‘Wwith production authoritatively esti- mated at 127,750 for the United States and Canada. Another strike-closed plant returning to production next week is the Reo Motor Car Co. truck plant at Lansing, Mich. Negotiations on 22 demands which the United Automobile Workers have presented to the Packard Motor Car Co. are in recess until Wednesday. Richard T. Frankensteen, U. A. W. A. organizational director, indicat- ing the union may seek an election under the National Labor Relations Board to prove its membership, has claimed 10,000 of Packard’s 16,000 4 employes are union members. “BLUE CARDERS” CELEBRATE, Week-End Fete Is Planned in Lead and Zinc Area.

SURPLUS TAX CUT URGED BY SIBLEY U. S. Chamber President -Asks Congress to Simplify Gorporate Levy. Harper 8ibley, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United, States, appealed to the members of the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee yesterday for simplification of the corporate surplus tax, exempting at least 30 per cent of a corporation’s taxable income from the tax. Sibley urged that while business was fully aware of the importance of ob- taining a balance of the Federal bud- get, & very moderate lowering of the scale of Federal expenditures would permit such changes in the corporate surplus tax as would avoid the present consequences which seem detrimental to both public and private interests. More Stable Revenues. “It would appear probable, t0o,” Sibley added, “that the usual rule would be found to apply, in that a more equitable tax would contribute to greater and more stable revenues.” At the same time, Sibley called at- tention to statements reaching the chamber in increasing numbers about the effects of the surtax, which have become especially manifest through the first practical application of the levy to corporations in all parts of the country. “We feel confident,” he added, “that Congress never intended some of these effects.” Sibley listed a number of defects in the present law. He argued it placed exceptional and ynfair bur- dens on corporations with outstand- ing debts, made no allowance for business expansion, failed to provide relief for corporations bound by con- tracts which do not meet the re- quirements of present relief provisions, but which, in fact, operate to re- strict private payments. Moreover, he argued, law coerces business cor- porations into doubtful fiscal policies which weakened their financial struc- ture and imposed harrassing and ex- cessively ambiguous and harsh pro- visions. True Earnings Application. He urged as a first step in cor- recting the defects that the surtax apply only to true earnings of cor- porations as distinguished from tax- able income now determined by ar- bitrary provisions of the law. In the determination of true profits, he added, there should be allowances, not now deductible, for losses actually sus- tained and shown on the books, and for reasonable reserves, actually estab- lished and essential to the prudent conduct of business to meet, for in- stance, contingent liabilities, inven- tory and investment lusses and other odligations.

GLASGOW, Scotland (#).—Many modern cooks are criminals, Prof. Robert Campbell Garry, dietetic ex- pert of Dundee University, says.

S. Employes. Renewed efforts may be made this week by Senator McCarran, Demo- crat, of Nevada to obtain considera- tion of his bill to increase Government salaries in the lower brackets. The Senate Civil Service Committee has been deferring hearings on the proposal since early in the session at the request of the Budget Bureau, which asked that no action be taken pending completion of an administra- tion survey of various personnel prob- lems. McCarran indicated yesterday he would endeavor to ascertain what progress has been made on the sur- vey. He also expects to confer with Chairman Bulow of the Civil Service Committee on the possibility of starte ing hearings soon. The bill seeks to benefit the lowest paid by fixing $1,500 as the minimum for full-time service, with some increases in other brackets not exceeding $3,600 a year. e OPERA RECORD SET 66,000 Attend Metropolitan Per- formances in Cleveland.
