X FIGH]' TOBEBEGUN Christian Heurich, Sr., Is Host ?’o Employes on 95th Birthda y ON BUSINESS Th Protective League Will Be Organized at Meeting Wednesday Night. With the repeal of the business priv- flege tax as its first objective, the Business Men's Protective League will be organized Wednesday night at the Hamilton Hotel. Plans for the new organization were announced today by R. D. Marshall, 8 leader in the revolt of wholesale | food dealers against the new tax. Marshall called the business priv- flege, or gross receipts, tax “a sales tax in its most vicious form.” Fairfax Oyster, a dealer in dairy products and president of the Center Market Business Men's Association, suggested a sit-down strike of business taxpayers. He said: “It's time we were doing something | to make ourselves heard and felt. If every business and professional man in Washington who is subject to this tax would refuse to pay I don't think they'd put them all in jail. “This tax law was railroaded through Congress. We were told that food would not be taxed, but dealers in necessities axe getting hit the hardest by the new taxes.” The Central Business Association made public a resolution opposing fur- ther increases in District taxes and urging that the 1939 budget be kept to the lowest possible figure. “This association,” said Hugh V. Keiser, its president, “appreciates that Congress rarely, if ever, grants the exact amount of the appropriation asked for, but at the same time it is felt that the 1939 fiscal year budget estimates are entirely too high and should be pared down to the bone, and that some of the items which are not an immediate necessity should be eliminated entirely.” o o ¥ uc A Mr. Heurich, sr.

IN PITTSBURGH POLL by Open Challenge to Demo- cratic Organization. Special Dispatch to The Star. PITTSBURGH, September 13.—An powerful Democratic organization is highlighting the generally quiet “off- veat” Keystone State primary. The voting is expected to be light. The registration of 3,500,000 voters is 1,200,000 below that of a year ago. In each of the 67 counties some local and county officers will be named but no State-wide positions are at stake. Leaders of both major parties are expecting the results of the primary this Tuesday to have a bearing on next vear’s more important races — par- ticulary those for Governor and Sen- ator. The Fall election may furnish, also, some indication as to whether the State will repeat its flip into the | Democratic column three years ago, | for the first time in four decades. The main Pittsburgh fight revolves about the mayoralty and councilmanic races, Councilman P. J. McCardle, backed by John J. Kane, county com- missioner, is opposing the renomina- tion of Mayor Cornelius D. Scully. David L. Lawrence, State Demo- cratic chairman, is supporting Scully. Former Mayor William N. McNai | who was elected four years ago with the organization's support, then broke with*it and eventually resigned, is making the fight a three-cornered one. | Should Kane and McCardle's group | win, they would be able to boast of defeating Lawrence in his own city. Pittsburgh’s registration lists 178,- 407 Democrats and 119,532 Repub- | licans. The county includes 318,475 | Democrats and 244,570 Republicans, SPECIAL THIS WEEK ONLY KNOTTY PINE PANELING 1"x12" $55 Thousand Feet fs select auality knotty neling ideal for recrea- tion rooms, library, den. offices, stores, etc. Makes a beautifui finish.

She sends it to the cleaner’s at 9 A.M. and wants it back by 6 P.M. That means a special trip to deliver a 12-ounce load. With a big, over-powered delivery truck, the cost of delivering that evening gown might be more than the profit on the cleaning job. But with a thrifty 60-hp. Ford V-8 Commercial Car, delivery cost Is so low that dry cleaners, grocers, dairymen, and others who deliver light loads and have many stops to make, can give good service and still make a profit. Mr. Stevens has a contract to deliver rock to a crusher on a road-build- ng Job. A low-powered truck wouldn't even get his loads out of the quarry, Here's a Job that calls for power . . . and lots of it! But it also calls for economical power, because the profit on delivering a ton of rock is low. That is why Mr. Stevens uses 85-horsepower Ford V-8 Trucks. Fords give |him strength without excess weight . . . power without excess cost. These two cases illustrate why Ford offers a choice of two engine sizes. Every type in the Ford V-8 Truck and Commercial Car line is available with the economical 85-horsepower V-8 engine. In addition, every type commonly used for light delivery service is available with the thrifty new 60-horsepower V-8. With these two engines and the wide choice of wheel- bases and bedy types, Ford offers the equipment that will do your job at low cost.
