B9 President Roosevelt asked Congress to enact by October 1 legislation under which he would be "specifically authorized to stabilize the cost of living, Including the price of all farm commodities." In a special message to the legislators, the President said "inaction on your part by that date will leave me with an inescapable responsibility to the people of this country to see to it that the war effort is no longer imperiled by threat of economic chaos. In the event that the Congress should fail to act, and act adequately, I shall accept the responsibility, and I will act." Mr.

Roosevelt said the purpose of the legislation "should be to hold farm prices at parity, or at levels of a recent date, whichever is higher." He said "at the same time that farm prices are stabilized, wages can and will be stabilized also. This I will do." The President recalled that two points of his original seven-point anti-inflation program required legislation "An adequate tax program, and a law permitting the fixing of price ceilings on farm products at parity prices." He said delay in enacting this legislation "has now reached the point of danger to our whole economy. We cannot hold the actual cost of food and clothing down to approximately the present level beyond October 1. But no one can give any assurances that the cost of living can said that between February 1 and August 30 U. S.

This record, together with the "Flying Tigers," record of 218 Japanese planes destroyed as against losses of 84, is aue mainiy to the performance of the i'-iu Fighters, he said.

Navy and Shipbuilding Navy Secretary Knox said the submarine menace "is not by any means solved," but there has been a "steady deminution of ships sunk off our own shores." A shipbuilding compilation for Labor Day showed 174 launchings and 49 keel layings during the day for many kinds and sizes of combat and cargo ships. The Maritime Commission reported 68 vessels were put into service in August and there is "every indication" that the goal of three completed ships a day will be reached in September. Rationing The War Production Board released 50,000 of the refrigerators which have been frozen in the hands of dealers and distributors since February 14 for sale to the general public after finding that they were not needed for "essential" purposes.

Another 50,000 will be released by authorization of WPB for delivery to dealers and transfer to ultimate consumers. The WPB Food Requirements Committee recommended to the Board the following meat conservation program (1) Limitation of the amounts of meat packers may sell to the civilian trade so that each civilian will be able to buy 2 pounds a week; (2) direct consumer rationing to be started as soon as possible in about four months; (3) an interim voluntary conservation program. Purchase of War Bonds The Treasury Department announced sales of War Bonds in August totaled $697,255,000 in bonds through the ten per cent Payroll Savings plan, compared with 18,000,000 persons and $200,000,000 in July. Treasury Secretary Morgenthau announced state War Bond quotas for September, totaling $775,000,000 for the country. Taxation and Profits The Treasury Department recommended to Congress a reduction in Individual income tax exemptions to $500 for each dependent.

The Treasury also proposed a ten per cent tax on consumer spending and high penalty rates for luxury spending. At the request of Congress, the Treasury outlined a sales tax levied against the retailer who would pass it on to the consumer. War expenditures in August were $4,900 million, more than three times greater than the amount spent for national defense a year ago. Income payments to individuals in July were 21 per cent more than July 1941 and were at the record annual rate of $114 billion a year, the Commerce Department said.

TEN-B-LOV ICE CREAM MIX New Large Size 35c WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING Voter Must Be Sure The point of division among Congressmen to be watched closely in the coming election is rather the bearing of their pre-war attitude on post-war conditions. The nation is agreed now by an overwhelming majority that isolationism will no longer do. Yet we know that once the war is over, the chronic isolationist will reassert himself.

Was it not so in 1919? The Congress we elect this year is the Congress which, in all likelihood, will have the making of the peace. If any Representative or Senator was an Isolationist before Pearl Harbor, it will be well for the voter to make sure he is not an isolationist now. Miami News Fine Leadership Not since the United States became a unit of States have we had such a leader as we find in our present governmental head, President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Long years ago he had all the honors the country could bestow and now he Is paying us back with his fine leadership in the greatest crisis our country has ever faced.

The abuse heaped on him, merely the outcome of a hate because he is not of the haters' political party, worries him little. He is lending his fine generalship for the good of the nation and he is, without doubt, today the most popular and looked to man not only in our country but throughout the entire world.
