Reduction of almost $450,- 000,000 a year in veterans’ appropriations was urged be- fore a joint congressional committee today by the Na- tional Economy League which said the government is now paying “nearly one- half of its entire annual revenues to: former service men and their dependents.” Chairman Collier told newspapermen he will not call the house ways and means committee together to! consider levying of a general sales tax at this session of. congress. He has taken the position that sales levy should be left for states.
