short time—since Secretary Morgen- i •* { same^n your next

must be at least 16 billion more than
last year. It is estimated that the
new income tax plan will take care
of only three of this extra 18 billion
dollars.
The most likely new tax would
be a sales tax—although there are
many members of congress who are
unalterably opposed to a general
sales tax which they say hits the
lowest income group too hard. If a
sales tax can’t be put through, some
enforced savings plan may be the
final answer.
For many weeks there has been
a great deal of talk here about a
possible complete breakdown of the
Office of Price Administration, which
would mean a breakdown of price
ceilings and rationing and would
probably result in prices going sky
high. Most of this talk started when
a number of OPA executives resign
ed, but there seems to be- no good
reason to conclude that such a break
down is imminent. OPA is having
its troubles, but its head, Prentiss
M. Brown, says that the breakdown
talk is absurd and that OPA is now
stronger than it has been in months.
“We now have working for OPA,”
Mr. Brown explained, “about 160,-
000 persona, of whom 100,000 are
volunteers and 60,000 are paid em
ployees. We can stand the resigna
tions of seven or eight or of 40 or
