IKE NATIONAL SCENE As Washington Sees It Speciial to The Chronicle. Washington, Aug. 30.—Beef, taxes and gasoline seem to be the chief subjects of controversy on the do mestic front on the eve of the re convening of congress. Many con gressmen have returned to Wash ington for the new session' which opens September 14 — and they have returned with a determination to do something about the situations, I w’hich on their visits home, they have found to be most disturbing to the people who elected them. Congressmen who are now in Washington say that the people, at I home have nothing but / praise for jthe way the war has be^n conduct ed so far. But there is no doubt left in the minds of our representa- M tives in this city that the people Visitors to Montreat, N. C., this, are expecting them to take fast ..

The beef situation is typical of those which have aroused the ire of the American people. Reports from the cattle states make it clear that there is .now a record supply of beef on the ranches — enough to supply the needs of the men in uni form, to give some to lend-lease and still have enough left over to fill the average needs of the people at home. But due to impractical pricing regulations plus black mar ket operations, beef not only isn’t reaching the people but is also in army camps.

The second tax problem which con gress must solve is how to collect more tax money. The treasury has demanded that government revenue be increased by many billions. Al though congress would prefer to avoid this subject altogether, the President and the treasury will prob ably force them to take some action. It is unlikely that new taxes will be put through before the end of the year, but when they do go through they will probably apply immediate ly. The most likely tax at present appears to be a sales tax on every thing but food. to school [The Chronicle office this week Mrs.: th ® “meal” and be sure to add plenty At THE CASINO Friday - Saturday Whitlock expressed appreciation for the contribution and interest in the fight against tuberculosis.
