Randolph Proposes
I-Cent Increase
In D. C. Gas Tax
Committee Head Hopes
Bill Will Help Solve
Fiscal Problems
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee has introduced a
bill to increase the gasoline tax from
2 to 3 cents per gallon, saying that
he hoped it would help solve the
recurrent question of fiscal relations
between the Federal and District
governments.
He said his bill would produce
$1,338,429.59 additional revenue with
relatively slight cost for collection.
This was taken by many with a close
interest in District legislation as a
strong indication that a sales tax
for the District will be considered in
the next session.
How the proposed increase in the
gasoline tax would solve the ques
tion of fiscal relations was a puzzle
to District officials and citizens, be
cause it would have no influence to
ward causing Congress to increase
the Federal contribution toward
support of the National Capital, and !
because under the Gasoline Tax Act
the funds collected cannot be di
verted for general expenses of the
local government. District officials
have repeatedly emphasized that the
gasoline tax revenues are already
sufficient for current highway needs
trt tT'Vlioll 41-1 A A‘A A 4a W f 1 I t A AV\A
cifically and exclusively dedicated.
“I am advised.” Chairman Ran-!
dolph said, “that there were 133,
842.959 gallons of gasoline sold in I
the District at retail In 1938. If a
retail sales tax of 1 per cent per;
gallon were levied it would produce
$1 338.429.59, and this would be col
lected with very little administra
tive expense.”
Regarding fiscal relations, Mr.
Randolph did not explain how the
proposed increase in the gasoline
tax would improve the situation.
“In recent years.” he said, “we
have all had ample opportunity to
become acquainted with the complex
fiscal structure of the District of
Columbia. The arguments for the
simplification of that structure have
produced two schools of thought
diametrically opposed to each other.
On one hand are the advocates of
an increased Federal contribution.
They are opposed by that group!
which advocates increased taxation
for the residents of the District.
Apparently, there is no middle
course.”

G. M. Pact Promises
No Work Stoppage
On 1940 Models
Strikers Are Voting on
Agreement, With
Approval Expected
BACKGROUND—
Strike affecting General Motors
units in Cleveland. Detroit. Pon
tiac. Flint and Saginaw began
July 5. Wage increase for tool
and die workers is said to be one
of chief issues. Disorders have
broken out during negotiations.
By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Aug. 5.—Terms of the
, settlement agreement between the
' C. I. O. United Auto Workers and
General Motors Corp. disclosed to
day tnat the corporation had won
a promise of no more work stoppages
because of labor troubles at least
for the duration of the 1940 model
production season.
At the same time the U. A. W.
C. I. O. won wage increases for some
skilled workers and a guarantee of
no discrimination against strikers.
The U. A. W.-C. I. O. received
bargaining recognition for its com
mittees in 42 plants of the corpora
tion to the exclusion of rival U. A.
W.-A. F. of L. committees. In 11
other plants in which both unions
have committees provisions were
made to hear both sides.
The union lost its demand for a
union label on tools and dies.
Strikers Vote on Pact.
Voting on ratificatiorf of the agree
ment proceeded today among the
7,600 skiller workers affected by the
strike, and union officials said only
a handful of dissenting votes had
been received. The agreement has
been approved by the union’s Inter
national Executive Board.
rvppiuvai uy uic uxixuxi iiit*xiiurx&.
generally expected today, will start
tool and die workers back to their
jobs Monday morning in 12 plants
where the walkout began a month
ago. Completion of re-tooling opera
tions will lead to the rehiring of
150,000 production workers now on
seasonal lay-offs.
Wage increases to tool and die
makers and maintenance men were
made through reducing differentials
between plants and establishing a
standard rate schedule, although the
union’s demand for a flat 10 cents
an hour increase for all skilled
workers was not granted.
Double time will be paid for Sun
day and legal holidays, with a few
exceptions, and ftir.e and a half will
be paid for Saturday work in excess
of the 40-hour weekly minimum.
Will Extend Security Plan.
The corporation will extend its
income security plan to employes of
Fisher plant No. 23, the world's
largest die plant, in Detroit, and will
make a study with the aim of get
ting more work in the plant or
rotating employment in order to
give the men wore work.
The income-security plan, with
certain loan provisions, includes a
guarantee of wages for 1,260 hours
a year to eligible employes.
“A typical John L. Lewis sellout,”
was the label placed on the agree
ment by Elmer Dowell, director of
the General Motors divisions of the
rival A. F. of L. United Automobile
Workers
Germany has banned all omnibus
drivers under 23 years of age.
Social Security Law
Changes Awaiting
Senate Approval
House Quickly Accepts
Conference Report in
Adjournment Rush
By the Associated Press.
Changes in the social security law,
designed to broaden the scope of ;
Immediate benefits and ease the pay i
roll tax burden on employers and
employes, needed only Senate ac
ceptance today before going to Pres
ident Roosevelt’s desk.
A compromise version of legisla
tion passed by Senate and House
weeks ago won approval of the latter
chamber yesterday when Speaker
feankhead gaveled it through hur
riedly in the adjournment rush. The
most controversial item—the Con
nally amendment increasing Federal
grants for the needy aged—had been j
deleted.
Its elimination restored a House
provision for the Federal Govern- j
ment to match State contributions i
for the needy aged, dollar-for-dol
lar, up to a total of $40 a month.
At present there is a $30-a-month
limit.
Senator Connally, Democrat, of
Texas wanted the Federal Govern
ment to pay $2 for each $1 provided
by the States, up to a $15 limit, and
[ match funds evenly from there to
$40.
nraeiii naic i onunuea.
The compromise bill would "freeze”
old-age insurance taxes at the pres
ent rate of 1 per cent each on the
employer and employe for the next
three years. The rate was sched
uled under existing law to rise to
l'.i per cent next January. Three
year savings to workers and em
ployers under the new provision
were estimated at $825,000,000.
Another provision would limit the
employer's tax liability for unem- i
ployment compensation to the first
$3,000 which he pays for each worker.
It would effect an estimated saving
of $65,000,000 a year.
The increased benefits provided
in the measure would cost an esti
mated $1,500,000,000 in the next five ,
years. The principal ones would:
1. Start payment of old-age an
nuities in 1940 instead of 1942.
2. Provide monthly benefits for
aged wives, widows, children, and
aged dependent parents of insured.
3. Permit persons over 65 to con
tinue old-age insurance tax pay
ments for the purpose of building up
a sufficient reserve to obtain monthly
benefits.
Reserve Account Decreased.
The bill would decrease the size
of the old-age reserve account and
create a board of trustees to admin
ister it. Critics of the Social Secur
ity Act had contended the reserve
would reach $47,000,000,000 by 1980.
a figure which was disputed by
others.
The new proposal limits the reserve
to three times the highest annual
benefit payments expected during
the succeeding five years.
In addition, the measure wTould:
1. Bring seamen and certain bank
employes under the old-age insur
ance provisions of the law.
2. Increase the size of benefit pay
ments in the early years of the
program and decrease them slightly
in the later years.
3. Increase Federal grants to
States for maternal and child health
services, crippled children, voca
tional rehabilitation and public
health work.
4. Exempt insurance agents on
commission from the unemployment
insurance program. Present law
exempts most insurance agents from j
the old-age insurance program.
The House agreed to elimination
of the amendment by Representa
tive McCormack, Democrat, of
Massachusetts, which would have
permitted reduction of State un
employment compensation taxes be
low the present 2.7 per cent min
imum and still enable employers to
claim the full 90 per cent credit on
the Federal unemployment tax to
which they are Tentitled by payment
of the State levy.
Representative Treadway, Repub
lican, of Massachusetts, expressing
regret at the failure of the conferees
to reach a compromise on this
amendment, told the House it could
be revived at a later date.
In a formal statement Senator
Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi
said that, while many of the pro
posed amendments were construc
tive, he did not sign the conference
report “because I felt so strongly
the necessity of a greater measure
of Federal assistance to the poorer
States of the Union, as embodied
in the Connally amendment.”
He criticized the “taciturn and
unyielding disposition” of House
conferees, who, he said, refused to
permit the House to vote on the
Connally proposal. He added that
a fight for the Connally proposal
would go on at the next session.
An amendment by Senator Rey
nolds, Democrat, of North Carolina,
which would have barred aliens
from the social security program
entirely, was eliminated by the con
ferees.

Bill That Women
'Will Just Hate'
Passed by House
By the Associated Prass.
A declaration by Representative
Jessie Sumner, Republican, of Illi
nois, that “women will just hate
this,” failed to keep the House from
authorizing an $8,000,000 census of
homes and home equipment.
“Women will hate having men
go into their houses, peeking in the
cupboards.” Miss Sumner told her
colleagues yesterday just before the
bill was approved and sent to the i
Senate.
Representative Keller. Democrat,
of Illinois, said he was sure his con
stituents wouldn’t object to supply
ing data on their houses.
“Then perhaps the women in your
district welcome something that most
women wouldn't welcome," said Miss
Sumner.
“Sure,” said Representative Keller,
laughing. “That’s right, or they
wouldn't welcome me.”
