Lewis Plans Meeting Over CIO Rift and War Policies
Washington May 11 John L Lewis president of the United Mine Workers summons the union policy committee and executive board to resolve a conflict with the CIO and address wartime issues. Meetings begin May 25 in Washington. Lewis seeks repayment of 1 665 000 advanced from miners treasury while the CIO denies debt. The CIO led by Philip Murray faces mounting per capita tax payments and arrears, risking a split with the UMW. War topics include selective service tire rationing vacations and bond buying. A general policy statement on war prosecution may be adopted amid operator pressure to forego vacations in high demand coal regions.

Wages Stabilization and Tax Exemptions Urged by Henderson
Washington May 11 Leon Henderson urged lower personal income tax exemptions and wage stabilization to curb inflation. He backed cutting exemptions for singles from 750 to 510,000 for couples from 1,500 to 1,200, and for dependents from 400 to 300, suggesting even deeper cuts. He warned a wage freeze could be proposed, though others called him cautious. Henderson argued gains in price control hinge on stabilizing wages and maintaining existing wage levels while predicting goods shortages into December. He opposed a sales tax, saying it would worsen rationing for low income groups.
