Discussions on Sales Tax Opened WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 (AP) --Chairman Doughlon (D.-N. C.) of the taxframing house ways and means commiltteo cut short his vacation and returned to the capital amid renewed discussions lor and against a sales tax as a source of extra money for the war effort. Doughton came back from North Carolina earlier than he had expected to, anxious to check or. the treasury's ideas for new and higher taxes to meet Presi dent Roosevelt's . demands for aiijuu,uuuu,uuu more than now is collected. The chairman probably will meet with Treasury Seceretary Morgenthau. He conferred imme diately with Colin Stamm, com mittee tax expert. Coinciding with his arrival some congressional tax sources said they thought there was too much sentiment against a sales tax for such a bill to become law. The treasury itself has been against a sales levy and its oppo sition was assailed anew today by Senator Byrd (D.-Va.) who said: "It Is entirely Inconsistent for the treasury to urge enormous increases in taxes without incor porating in such a program a sales tax, which I look upon as a proper and just war tax." Doughton himself has said he would support a sales tax "only as a last resort." Fie declined to discuss a state ment by Chairman George (D.

Snell Proclaims "Quinine" Week Governor Earl Snell has desig nated the week of August 9-15 as "Quinine Week" and has issued a call to all Oregonians to check their medicine chests and, If any (Uinlne Is found there in bulk, pills or capsules, to contribute it to the National Quinine Pool to be used to combat malaria among armed forces In the southwest Pacific and India. The state-wide campaign is in cooperation with the drug stores of Oregon, head ed by J. J. (Jack) Lynch, mana ger of the Oregon State Pharma ceutical and Portland Retail Druggists associations. "Oregonians, fortunately, have little need for quinine as ours is a malaria-free state, and we should be glad to have the oppor tunity to render this needed ser vice to the boys who are fighting and dying for us at the battle fronts," said Governor Snell. "Casualties from action are se rious enough. Therefore, let's do all we can to minimize the suffer ing and deaths incident to malar ia. Japanese have captured the Dutch East Indies source of qui nine but they have not captured the medicine chests of Oregon and the nation." Every Oregonian Is urged to make Immediate search and de liver any quinine found to his neighborhood druggist. On Au gust 16 the state police, under di rection of Supt. Charles P. Pray, will call on every drug store In the state to collect the donated quinine for shipment to the Na tional Quinine Pool in Washing ton, D. C. An exception will be j luuiuiuiiiiui cuumy, wiiuie nil collection will be made from the stores by Multnomah County Chapter, Red Cross Motor corps. Drug stores of Oregon have al ready contributed 564,762 grains i of quinine from their own stocks in 190 stores. Other stores will make contributions during the drive. Druggists of the nation have given 110,000 ounces, nearly 4 tons, and contributions are still rolling in. The amount on hand is equivalent of some 9,600,000 five-grain doses and would have a market value of about $88,500 if it could be bought, but with the Dutch East Indies in the hands of the Japs and our source of sup ply cut off. the quinine which has been collected Is priceless and Ir-replacable. Civilians to Get More Wool Goods WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 ( AP) Barring ' unforeseen military demands, civilians can expect in creased quantities of wool fab rics, but with some of the pre war variety missing. Wool manufacturers, "the war production board (WPB) report ed today,' are sacrificing novelty to step up production of staple items. It's part of the WPB aim to make clothes rationing unnec essary. Apparel wool output for civil ians now running at an annual rate of 240,000,000 yards, about the same as last year. To in crease this, manufacturers are reducing the variety of colors and counts of their yarns. This results in larger lots of one m!t terial. fj Raw wool, no longer on the critical list, is described as in suf-1, ficient supply to meet all mili tary and civilian demands, and it is chiefly a question of making the wool into fabrics. The gov ernment has a stockpile of 700, 000,000 pounds of wool. This is a safeguard in the event war con ditions should cut off foreign imports.
