By the Associated Press. Chairman Doughton reported today that he had not found “any feverish demand” in the House Ways and Means Commit- tee for a limit of $25,000 on indi- vidual incomes after payment of taxes as recommended by Presi- dent Roosevelt. He made the statement after the committee had discussed the Presi- dent's message of yesterday with Randolph Paul, Treasury tax ad- viser, for two hours behind closed doors. Representative Doughton said later that he had not canvassed the committee on the $25,000 limit ques- tion and was expressing only a per- sonal opinion of the members’ first reactions, Mr. Paul advised the members that “we are entitled to & pretty lib- eral construction” of the message, Mr. Doughton said, adding that the individual income limitation was discussed only generally. One ques- tion that arose, he said, was whether State and local, as well as Federal taxes, should be considered in im- posing a flat maximum salary an individual might retain. At the same time, Mr. Paul said he believed the President wanted no change In the existing formula for determining opinion would like to “approach” 100 per m rates if consistent with wartime No Change in Formula.

On the Senate Finance Commit- tee, Senator Taft declared “I object strongly to the principle of a flat limit on all individual incomes.” “Why $25,000?” he asked in a statement. “Why not $10,000? Why not $2,500 if we accept the principle of giving a man only what he needs to live on? “A literal compliance with the President’s plan would disrupt further the business organization of the United States, particularly the smaller manufacturers, wholesalers |and retailers, cripple many of our great private charitable and ‘educa- tional institutions and community ,|chests, and bring great distress to | many oldér individuals living on the.s life savings invested in stocks.” Backs Reasonable Limit, Senator Byrd said on the other hand that he favored legislation to “reasonable salary limit” | that $25,000 was necessarily the cor- | rect limit. Support for the proposal also came from Senators Capper, Republican, | |of Kansas, and Guffey, Democrat, ‘o' Pennsylvania, Finance Commit- | tee members. “Income limitation may be suit- | | able in these times, and I'll suppon | the President’s proposal as a war | measure,” Senator Capper declared. Another Democratic member of the committee, Senator Radcliffe of Maryland, said he had an “instinc- tive leaning toward the profit idea |as an incentive to do things,” and | added: “There wouldn't be much incen- | | tive to go beyond the limit proposed by the President.” 1$250,000 Asked to Combat | Mr. Dies of making “wild charges” | al- | ’tion of enemy agents in this coun- | | | mittee was rendering “valuable serv- | C., TUESDAY, APRIL PRYOR, OKLA.—TORNADO LEVELS WAR BOOM TOWN— View of wreckage left in the wake of a brief, violent tornado which swept through this war boom town of 6,000 late yesterday.

DETROIT, April 28—The Ford Motor Co. informed the city of Detroit today that it would refuse to allow within the gates of its huge Willow Run bomber plant the trac- tor-hauled trailers which the Fed- eral Government had directed be used to carry workers. The refusal was based on the grounds the vehicles Were danger- ous and “not fit for human beings.” The problem of providing trans- portation for the thousands of workers due to be employed at the vast factory, about 25 miles from the center of Detroit, has engaged the attention of city and Govern- ment officials for months.
