Washington, D. C., June 1.—
<NWN5)—Although Congress will
officially remain in session
throughout the summer, since
the members are afraid of what
the public reaction would be if
they declared a recess, there will
be a series of unofficial ‘‘coasting”
periods during the summer to
provide time for electioneering.
The first one, just completed,
was arranged primarily because
of the primaries in Iowa and re
sulted in. a general slow-down
in both houses of congress where
comparatively unimportant meas
ures, such as the one to increase
the enrollment at West Point,
were made to consume a 10-day
period.
Official Washington regrets
that such an important election
as the one in November comes up
this year, for there is no doubt
that both houses will have one
eye on the ballot box in every
move that they make from now
to November. At the November
election all seats in the house of
representatives and one-third of
the seats in the house will be at
stake.
A month ago it • was expected
that a general recess, even though
selves.
With the election looming so
‘important in their minds, mem
bers of both houses are particu
larly worried about being called
upon to vote for the heaviest
tax program in the history of the
country. They realize that no
matter what tax proposals are
approved, there will be groups
which feel they are being asked
to shoulder more than their
share of the burden—and that
is going to mean loss of votes.
It is clear that the treasury
wants action taken on the new
taxes before November and fa
vors a plan whereby the govern
ment would begin collecting new
taxes out of salaries and wages
as soon> as possible.
Although the committee in
charge is still putting the finish
ing touches on a proposed tax
bill, it seems likely that exemp
tions will be decreased and the
small and medium income groups
will be called upon to pay at
least double the Jax they paid
this year. It may work out so
that 10 per cent of salaries and
wages are deducted at source
for tax purposes, the same as is
done with social security, ^.nd the
amount paid in this way will be
deducted from the amount the
tax-payer figures he must pay
next March.
In addition to greatly increased
taxes, a forced savings plan for
buying bonds may soon be put
through. Whether war bond
sales will continue on a volun
tary basis will depend largely
upon the amount of sales between

In this worthy effort the
hearty cooperation of all boys

the whole nation. Although it
is true that there is plenty of
gasoline available in some sec
tions, gas rationing is seen as the
only feasable way of preserving
the vast rubber reserve on the
wheels of the nation’s 34,000,000
automobiles. The present ration
system in use in the East has been
found to include many flaws
which will be corrected and its
operation shows that a large
number of people are continuing
to use their cars for many pur
poses other than necessary ones.
It is impossible to determine
whether the gasoline and rubber
problems will become acute as
time goes on, for the reports

each day’s reports give a different
picture of the possibility of huge
supplies of synthetic rubber in
a comparatively short time—but
the best analyses seem to indicate
that it will be at least two or
three years before the general
public might be able to buy new
rubber tires.
Even more uncertain than this
comparatively unimportant prob-
em of automobiles is the situa
tion in the war itself. Optimistic
reports on its progress and hints
that it might be fairly well in
hand within a year have been
contradicted by the President
who still predicts that it will be
! a very long war. The public is
not in a position to form an. in

being withheld.
