F. D. R. to Discuss Cut In Material Prices

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.=Presi- | dent Roosevelt, upon his return | next week, will confer with promi- | nent building-material men and! labor leaders about a second step | in the Administration's attack on | the housing problem, This concerns a reduction in the price of building supplies and an | arrangement for an "annual wage” for the building trades. The President took the first step when he recommended legislation to ease restrictions in the FHA Act, and House and Senate Com- | mittees now are holding public | hearings on bills for this purpose. The next step involves a most | difficult problem, about which much has been said and nothing done. Preparatory to the President's conferences with industrial and | labor leaders, his emissaries already | have broached to various men in each group a formula which, in essence, would call for a "bargain period” of specific limit, say a year, in which material prices would be reduced and local contracts made between builders and labor for an annual wage on large-scale housing jobs, There is also discussion of a possible guarantee by the Government of wage contracts, just as it guars antees mortgages through T'HA. Thus, if for any reason the contract to the workers was not fulfilled, the Government would make up the wage deficiency to the workers, Such a plan would require legislation and would obviously be difficult to work out, Building-material

6 Revenue Tax Law

Changes Proposed WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (U.P) = The House Ways and Means Tax Subcommittee agreed tentatively today on six changes in the revenue

laws designed to simplify adminis tration and to plug minor loopholes. | |

Chairman Fred M. Vinson (D.| Ky.) explained the agreements as involving: 1. Deduction of items of cost in the collections of sums included mn the gross income which are not in | | the usual course of business of the | taxpayer, 2. Taxing of dividends received on | paid-up insurance policies. 3. Change in the existing law, which permits contributions to be deducted in the vear they are made,

| sd that they will be deducted in the

vear paid. 4. A provision preventing corpo= rations from deducting as a business expense their contributions to charitable, religious, scientific and similar institutions, 5. Individuals now permitted to take deduction up to 15 per cent on their charitable contributions will in the future be limited to contributions to American institutions, 6. A new base for gifts in Kind, Gifts of this nature-stock, houses, horses, etc=may be deducted as a gift at the cost of the property in the hands of the donor, or at its value at the time of gift,

Only portions of a note found in Mr. Young's clothing, addressed to | his wife, could be read. It said: | “This seems to be the best way. . . . | 1 can’t understand it all. . . God | will understand.” Mr. Young's car was about 40 feet from the body, discovered by City Detectives Howard Sanders and John Welch, when they investigated a report made by an unidentified man.

Mr, Kemp said that the 55 to 6 | cents income in coal prices at the company-owned Milburn Mine in West Virginia would increase the | price of coke production here about | 80 cents “because there are only | 1500 pounds of coke in one ton of | coal.” The higher costs may be absorbed by increasing the price of industrial coke, domestic coke or gas or by spreading the increase to all three, Mr. Kemp said. “It will be two or three weeks be- | fore we know where to raise the price of the products to offset the coal prices raised by the National I Bituminous Coal Commission,” he added.

15 per cent increase in freight rates, asked by the railroads, is allowed by the Interstate | Commerce Commission, further in- | creases may be expected, he said, | Mr. Kemp sald profits of the utility=owned mine will increase under the new minimum price scheduled, but a considerable part must be paid in Federal excess profits taxes. About 35 per cent ol the mine's production goes to the market, he said. The utility has been paying $1.68 to $1.70 a ton for coal from ils mine, which is a high volatile fuel used in the manufacture of gas and coke. The new minimum price is $2.25.
