The treasury added, to church nrtembers, Mr. Cook said, however, that the tax collected would form and a gross receipts tax' 1 on be small and that obstacles facing each of these ideas would limit their usefulness. Another knotty problem facing the special session is the question of ie.,;price situation as a must in ces. President Truman included jg his call for the special ses sion and it is likely that some ac tion will be tiken to allocate scarce commodities and the creation of an agency to administer allocations and to supervise commodity purchases and exports. As a matter of fact, al though Senator Robert Taft, of Ohio, chairman of the GOP policy commit tee, declared himself in opposition to reinstitution of price controls or in dividual rationing his opposition did j not include the question of export control or allocation of materials. The Citizens Food committee, un der the chairmanship of Charles Luckman, Lever Brothers company, is planning and has underway one of the most extensive and compre hensive publicity programs ever con ducted by the government or any other organization in peace time. The plan is to make the nation thrift- conscious on the question of saving grain and meat and “a slice of bread i a day/” Through the newspapers ap- i ] peal will be made in locally spon- | sored advertising and in publicity re- leases. The same will be true over the radio, through the magazines and ] on the billboards and other mediums | for the dissemination of news. Loaned for the purpose are some of the top ... men in radio and advertising and the J; efficient organization of the treasury department which conducted such effective publicity and advertising campaigns in the sale of war bonds has been brought into the picture to help out op t^ie program. Chairman Clifford Hope of the house agricultural committee has postponed hearings on a long-range 1 agricultural prograriV because of the' special session. A session of the com-, mittee was held in Kansas City Oc tober 28 and in Temple, Texas, No vember 1. Prior to that time hear ings had been held in New England, the South and Midwest in which some 400 farmers gave testimony from 38 states.
