When letters start arriving home from Bernard Greaves, who left for Navy training today, the main question will probably be, "How's my Victory Garden coming along?" Understanding that food will help bring victory, Bernard plants a garden at the back of his home this year and is more than likely the first person along the valley to have green tomatoes of considerable size. Although he will miss harvest time, Bernard, the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Greaves, of New Eagle, has been anxious to get into the armed forces since his buddy, Paul Ballein, left for the Army last month.

Born May 31, 1924, the new sailor has been a resident of New Eagle all his life. He was graduated from the Monongahela High School with the class of 1942. Unmarried, Bernard was employed by the Potter McCune Wholesale for three months and for the past eight months has been employed as a recorder by the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp. in Clairton.

at 38 Reason 1) fin Washington, July 2 (UP) Rep. J. Engel, reported to the House today that 48 corporations holding war contracts have made "sensational excessive profits" by figuring their taxes as a part of the cost of production which is paid by the government. During the last two years, he said, these companies have paid $3,000,000,000 in taxes out of Uncle Sam's pocket. "The government pays these sums out of the treasury as war costs and they are then paid back into the treasury as taxes," he said.

"The $3,000,000,000 does not include millions of dollars paid by these companies for Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, State Corporation and Real Estate taxes, and other taxes, which likewise come out of the Federal treasury in the cost of production, but are not returned to it." Engel's report followed another made last Tuesday on excessive wages paid in "war industries. "If there is one thing that will set the returning soldier against this government," he warned, "it is the excess profits paid to corporations or individuals on invested capital and excess wages paid to labor. "If socialism or communism get a foothold in this country, it will be because of these wartime profiteers in the ranks of labor and industry." The survey included such companies as the E. I. DuPont De Nemours Corporation, Wilmington General Motors Corporation, the Chrysler Corporation, and the Bethlehem Steel Corporation.

It showed, according to Engel, net corporate earnings ranging as high as 53 per cent of the dollar market stock value in 1941 ana 1942. NELSON CALLS (Continued from Page 1) reasons for the need for even greater steel production in the balance of 1943, Batcheller said. He pointed out that the destroyer escort vessels now used to combat the submarine wolf-packs require 1,300 tons of steel each whereas the Sub chaseis formerly used required only 230 tons of steel each. "Occasionally there may be spectacular disturbances on the surface," Nelson said in discussing the home front. "I am positive that these do not touch the steadfast ployed in the Reservation Office of the Pennsylvania Railroad at Pittsburgh.

expect ing a presidential veto of his bill outlawing the OPA's rollback-subsidy program, today proposed as a substitute revival of the food stamp plan to protect low income groups aganist high food costs. Aiken said his plan was an advance answer to Mr. Roosevelfs expected argument, if he 'vetoes the anti-subsidy bill, that opponents of subsidies have no "better 'ole." The President has said several times that he had asked opponents of subsidies for an alternative way of holding prices in line, but that they had not produced one. Aiken hopes to have his legislation ready for an introduction in the Senate today. "It may be described as the stamo plan brought up to date with its earlier faults eliminated and adapted to present day conditions and useage," he said.

The stamp plan was In wide use prior to Pearl Harbor for distribution of surplus foods to low-income families. One of the advantages of it claimed by New Dealers was that it helped raise the standard of living of low-income groups, making available to them foods they otherwise would not be able to purchase. energies of the nation as a whole." Nelson declared that this is no time to relax and "the country needs a new burst of productive energy that will not only carry us through to the day of unconditional surrender by the enemy but will actually hasten that day, and we are determined to carry on." Speaking for labor, Phillip Murray, president of the CIO and of the United Steel Workers of America, reiterated that the steel union would live up to its "no-strike" pledge and promised that mill men would produce the extra tonnage if they are provided the fuel to fire the furnaces. Nelson and his group and Murray visited today the Edgar Thomson works cf Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corporation, the Brackenridge plant of th Allegheny-Ludlum Steel Corporation and the Aliquip-pa works of the Jones and Laugh-lin Steel Corporation, which have a total annual production of almost five million tons.
