KIRBY'S SHOES 162 LINCOLN WAY, WEST Solons Debate Whether To Soak Rich Or Poor By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK. (AP) The debate is on again today as to where to raise the extra billions in taxes to pour into the defense program. One side advocates getting the money from the rich, who presumably would go on eating even if pinched further, but who might lose their incentive to provide the tools for greater production. The other side argues more revenue can be raised by aiming the tax blow at the great majority with low or modest incomes who, nevertheless, have among themselves the greatest total income and spend the most money. Their aggregate purchasing power is seen as the greatest potential threat of inflation's starting up again.

The battle is being waged chiefly in the revision of the income tax. But a number of business organizations keep up the fight to get a federal sales tax, is, to tax people's out-go as well as their income. SOME OF the the National Association of Manufacturers, and the Committee on Federal Tax a sales tax levied at the manufacturer's level. like the Committee of Economic the I sales tax levied at the retail level. CED told congress this week that I a five per cent federal taxes tax i food and raise an additional billion in revenue without causing too much pain to the national economy.

That amount would be about 1.5 per cent of total consumer expenditures. The chief argument is the na tion needs more production and less build up its store of defense goods without running up prices, those who urge the sales tax contend that it will raise the most revenue without depressing production. They argue soaking business and raising income tax rates in the higher brackets will discourage production without draining off any excess purchasing power. Besides, they say, a tax on business is passed on to the consumer anyway in. higher prices.

In the end i the consumer always pays. VERDICT IS SUICIDE COV1NGTON, Ky. (AP)-Kenton county Coroner Tressa Riffe returned verdict of suicide last night in the drowning of Thomas Waller, 36, of Cincinnati. Waller's body was pulled from the Ohio river yesterday near Bromley, Ky. Mrs.

Charges NYC With Speeding COLUMBUS. The state public utilities commission Thursday asked the attorney general to prosecute the New York Central railroad for violation of speed regu- ations in operating freight trains. The PUCO said the railroad operated a freight train between West -olumbus and Stanley (Wood county) at speeds from 30 to 40 miles per hour. The PUCO speed limit 30 miles per hour due to unsafe conditions. The commission said it previously had called the railroad's attention to violations in operating passenger trains between West Columbus and Stanley and in operating freight trains between Berwick and Thruston.

This notice was given in a telegram sent NYC officials last May 16. Despite this notice, the PUCO said Superintendent L. W. Fisher of the New York Central on May 18 authorized a 45 miles per hour speed limit for passenger and freight trains. RADIO SINGER DIES CINCINNATI.

To him the sales tax is. in effect, just another hike in already top-heavy prices. Oppo nents contend that hardest hi would be the man who has the least margin left over with which to pay a tax. An American Federa ition of Labor spokesman told sena tors yesterday a sales tax would "further depress the living stand ards of more than half of the fami lies in America." Sales tax advocates argue the sales tax gives a man a choice: he can spend or he can save. The come tax gives him no choice, and therefore the sales tax favors the saver and penalizes the spender.

I The government wants you to i save rather than spend while it's siphoning off so much goods from the civilian market into defense production. The sales ar! gument goes by making goods more costly would reduce the demand for goods to the supply available. Hence, no inflation. AND THEY argue families with i net incomes under $10,000 a year have 86 per cent of all the money in the country remaining after fed' eral income taxes have been paid. Tt is this 86 per cent of spendable income the anti-inflationists are gunning for.

But this probably isn't going to set well with the man with small income, either. He thinks of himself as having too little left over after taxes as it is. And he is ly to be unconvinced by the sta- I tistics which purport to show how I little the rich man has left over after taxes. The man in the lower brackets contends he cant hire accountants to advise him how to I manage with the least tax impact, or lawyers to set up legal ways of minimizing taxes. But the sales tax advocates argue Before joining the WLW staff he appeared on radio shows at Louis and Nashville, Tenn.
