Robertson Sees Necessity of General Sales Tax
Washington May 18 Rep Robertson of Virginia and member of the House Ways and Means Committee said Congress should have the courage to approve a general sales tax even if politically unwise. The panel will begin examining tax rates to meet an 8.7 billion dollar revenue goal, with debate on a potential 5 percent retail sales tax and a broader consumption tax as part of war funding. The American Federation of Labor protested reductions in exemptions, urging taxes establish a fair burden on those best able to pay while preserving living standards.

Sugar allowance urged for home canning by peach growers
About 50 attendees at a National Peach Council conference in Philadelphia urged an immediate upward revision of the War Production Board sugar allotment for home canning and preserving. Carroll R. Miller led the resolution to send the appeal to the WPB USDA and the Federal Security Agency. The group noted a 60 million bushel peach crop forecast versus 54 million the prior war, and called for a longer summer vacation to ease farm labor during harvests. They also warned that 75 percent load rules for backhauls could cut deliveries of fresh fruit and vegetables to rural stores.
