Snyder, secretary of the treasury, told a news conference that an increase in tax rates may be asked by the administration next year if there is sharp inflation in prices following the ending of OPA. The additional tax would be levied on individuals apd corporations when congress meets after the first of next year. Mr. Snyder gave flat assurance, however, that the administration would propose no new during matron approached sweet, lovely little .thing.

To redeem these securities now would add to buying pressure. The treasury has taken this step, it was learned, as an' step. Mr. Snyder clung to his promise, given upon taking office a few weeks ago, that he would try hard to balance the 1947 budget.

MISCELLANEOUS Airplanes cost a lot of money when they are new, but when the government sells the scrap the price is down. For $3,900,000,000 worth of scrap war planes the government received apparent high bids totaling $6,582,156, or some three billion dollars less than cost. Sale of these scrap planes will virtually clean out such government aircraft, except for another 15 mil- lion to 18 million pounds of aluminum scrap now in Hawaii to be sold in August. The surplus bombers, fighters and other tactical ships sold for scrap are located at five air fields in the United States. The fields will be leased to buyers for $1 per year while scrapping operations are in progress. WE BUY AND SELL Office Furniture, Files, Typewriters, Adding Machines, Safes, Cash Registers.

He has also reported that 406,000 dwelling units have been started so far this year, this figure representing approximately 34 per cent of the goal. The housing expediter, in his first report to the nation on the housing program, said that prices for new homes and rentals are still too high to fit the purses of many veterans. He called for the erection of more rental housing and promised that all construction will be carefully inspected to insure both good quality and fair prices.

Roosevelt was brave, steadfast and a man who saw the facts and faced them, said John G. Winant, former ambassador to Great Britain, who spoke at the solemn service on July 1 when President Truman and members of the congress paid tribute to the departed leaders memory. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, FDRs widow, attired severely in black, sat directly behind Mr. Truman. With her were Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy in World War I, her son and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Elliott Roosevelt. Winant concluded his tribute with these words; God give ns heart and will to take this nation forward as he meant to take it to a new, more daring future, world of peace. a new , , 29 And Your Strength and Energy Is Below Par It may be caused by disorder of kidney function that permits poisonous waste to accumulate.
