US Income
Shows Gain
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20--jesse
H. Jones, secretary of com
merce, estimated Thursday that
the national income last year was
$73,800,000,000, an increase of
$4,400,000,000 over 1939.
j He added, however, that income
payments received by individuals
in the form of wages, dividends
and other forms were larger than
the national income. They totalled
$74,300,000,000. The difference
was due to the fact that some of
the income payments were made
on borrowed money in connection
with new projects for the defense
program.
I The national income was the
highest since 1929 and 94 per cent
over the depression low in 1932.

Booed, Hissed i
NEW YORK, Feb. 2o-)-;
The names of supporters of the
British aid bill, including Presi
dent Roosevelt, were booed and
hissed Thursday night at a mass
meeting at which US Senator
Barton K. Wheeler (D-Mon-tana)
and Senator Gerald P.
Nye (R-Ncrth Dakota) asserted
passage of the bill would mean
almost Immediate involvement
of this country in war.
Wheeler declared that the
British aid bill would empower
the president "to intervene In
the present bloody European
conflict and that power of in
tervention is the power to wage
war."
Agreeing with this premise,
Nye asserted that if the bill be
comes law "we shall find our
selves almost overnight in the
war, the very kind of war
which 85 per cent of the people
of this country have vowed
again and again they would
have nothing to do with."

Hears Debates
Pro, Con Arguments
on Wines Sales Wax
at Joint Hearing
'The house and senate alcoholic
control committees heard argu
ments Thursday night on bills to
prohibit sale of wine containing
mare than 14 per cent of alcohol
by volume, and to limit sale of
such wines to liquor stores.
The measures were opposed by
wine distributors and manufactur
ers, while temperance organiza
tions and other speakers support
ed them.
Judge Opposes Sale .
Of All Types of Wine
Circuit Judge L. H. McMahan of
Salem opposed sale of sweet, or
high alcoholic content wines,
even in the liquor stores." Many
of ' the crimes which have come
before him, he said, can be traced
directly to fortified wine.
Mrs. Necia Buck, state president
of the Women's Christian Temper
ance union, - said sweet wines
should be restricted to liquor stores
in order to "protect our boys" in
military service.
Retention of the present law as
a middle of the road path" was
urged by Leonard H. Ballif, Port
land distributor, while C. R.
Crenshaw, manager of the Hood
River distilleries, opposed both
bills on the grounds that they
would rob a quarter million dol
lar industry of a developing out-of-state
market by discouraging
the cooperation of other wine
producing states. '

he described the Far Eastern
