WASHINGTON. D. C.. Aug. 15—
<R>—Anybody who thinks taxes will
be cut much after the war Is "walk-
ing In the dark," Chairman Robert
L. Doughton (Democrat, North
Carolina) of the house ways and
means committee, said Monday.
Taking Issue with Chairman Wal-
ter F. George (Democrat, Georgia;
of the senate finance committee,
who told reporters earlier that it
Will be necessary “to greatly reduce
or lift entirely those taxes which
are a wartime feature." Doughton
declared that everyine is "agin"
taxes but that doesn't make it pos-
sible to cut them.
Senator Georpe took the position
that tax schedules could be figured
on the basis of a federal budget of
from $18,590,000,000 to $22.5000.000.-
000 a year, making possible a re-
duction in taxes "particularly those
Operating as a brake on business—
Which means employment and Jobs"
In addition to Individual Income
taxes.
He seamed, however. that a re- j
turn to pre-war levels could not be
expected with a budget four times {
as large as during 193S but declared
that because of the necessity for I
enoeuraging production the 96 per- I
cent excess profits tax is "Just out
of the question."
Melon Growers Want
Fleor Under Prices
RUSK ■ ■PT'INOS. Aug. 15— <U.R>—
R. H. FTtherland. secretary of Ihe
Rush Springs Watermelon Growers
association, says that Instead of a
celling, a floor under melon prices
would suit farmers better.
The ceiling is about Cl .75 a
hundred pounds but farmers use
actually selling melons for from
85 cents to $1 per hundredweight.
Farmers Interviewed on the sub-
ject of the present ceiling said
they consider it wholly unfair.

Big sandwiches with thick slices of
bread helped to build the brawn that
built America’s industrial might.
Wartime demands upon men and
women, young and old, have brought
us as a nation to a stern realization of
the need for an adequate diet for all.
So today—in homes, »in plant cafe-
terias and in restaurants large and small
—America is wisely recognizing the
nutritive importance of bread. Now
enriched, it is the finest bread ever set
before the human race ... so good that
our ancestors would have called it ca’ .”
When you eat plenty of enri..
bread, you improve your diet bender;
saving ration points for other jjood
foods.
