Republican tax strategist, while Chairman Doughton of the House Ways and Means Committee conceded that "confusion" surrounded the search for more revenue.

Public Hearings Asserting that the American people "now pay the highest per capita tax in the world," Knutson declared that the nation's lawmakers would be "most reluctant to impose any additional taxes" but qualified his statement by saying that "War needs may drive us to it."

The questions were presented by the Citizens' Committee of which James L. Beebe of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce is chairman and which was formed following protests over Councilman D. F. McClos-key's proposal for a city sales and use tax.

The information sought will be about funds needed to repair the central and north outfall sewers, estimated at between Sl.000,000 and $2,000,000, and a sewer treatment plant and on the extension of the Municipal Airport.

Their views were expressed a3 the committee prepared to meet tomorrow to arrange for public hearings on the new revenue bill and on a review of the present law authorizing renego tiation of war contracts by the government to recapture "excessive" profits. Meanwhile, it was learned that a hot controversy between Treasury Secretary Morgenthau and the join Congressional tax staff had been settled at least temporarily. Doughton said that Morgenthau had informed Colin Stam, head of the staff, of the Treasury's "desire and willingness" to co-operate.

Knutson, a ranking minority member of the Ways and Means Committee, said that if war needs made necessary a new source of revenue he would prefer a manufacturers sales tax to a general retail sales tax "because of its greater simplicity and ease of administration." He held that there was little chance of Congress writing a measure providing for compulsory savings. States ip at war and must allocate mjilitary supplies where they will be used most effectively for the defense of the Western Hemisphere. The attitude of the government of President Pedro Ramirez, he suggested, "has indicated clearly that the Argentine armed forces will not under present conditions be used in a manner designed to forward the security of the New World." Still Deal with Avis Hull based his refusal on the failure of the Argentine govern cause of the security of the New World, and thereby the vital war interests of the United States, it will be impossible for the President of the United States to enter into an agreement to furnish arms and munitions to Argentina under the Lend-Lease Act."

(JP) A decisive effort to override State community property laws may be made by the Treasury, Representative Gearhart (R) said today, when the House Ways and Means Committee resumes consideration of Federal income tax matters. Gearhart, a committee member and leader of the Republican opponents of the Ruml-Carlson pay-as-you-go tax plan, declared he would resist efforts to pass a Federal tax law which would in any way deprive 10 States of what he termed their "constitutional right" to define property and to outline the conditions under which property may be held. "Any change forced on States having community property tax laws," Gearhart contended, "would constitute a usurpation by the Federal government of functions which constitutionally belong to the State to define property and the conditions for holding property. "Such an action by the Federal governmen he continued, "would be a definite interference with States' rights."

(JP) The Argentine Cabinet decided tonight at a two-hour meeting to publish the texts of messages exchanged between Secretary of State Hull and Foreign Minister Segundo Storni in which Hull refused an Argentine bid for lend-lease aid.
