Lewis, Wheeler booster, was i said to be In on the pow-wow. - Nothing like that occurred, and Lewis had nothing to do with it. Sunday afternoon, during a jaunt on the yacht of a newspaper news-paper publisher, ; Landon told about the hot conflict raging between Isolationists and the pro-Ally pro-Ally bloc in his subcommittee on the controversial foreign affairs plank.

But neither the $1,824 or the $2,500 family would have to pay an Income tax despite the in creases In the new measure. The increases would come in the excise levies. Some of the Increases for the $1,524 . family, based on average consumption of goods on which the taxes have been augmented: ' ; $7.45 more for cigarettes; $1.86 more for movies, sports and other admissions; 15 cents more for gasoline; - four cents more for toilet preparations; and about 39 per cemVmore per gallon for alcoholic alco-holic beverages (for which it now spends .$5.44). ) ' Expenditures of any-one -family would .vary,; of course, ana so would the taxes on the individual items,, but the average would be the same. A man buying a bottle of beer; now selling at 15 cents, might pos sibly have to pay 18 cents as a result re-sult of the new tax. It Increases the ; tax from. $5 to $S a barrel. which is three-tenths of a cent per.' bottle. The cigarette tax is . Increased from 3 to $3.25 -per thousand, or a nan-cent a package, if two packages were selling for 25 cents now, they might cost 26 cents after July If .gasoline were selliner five cat ions for $1.00. the tax bins boost of from one cent to one and a half cents per gallon would bring it to about $1.03.
