that a sales tax be adopted to bal
ance the budget, Ralney asked:
"Why did we not receive support
from the administration on the man
ufacturers sales tax last year?"
You did from me 100 per cent."
Mills shouted, shaking his fist at
Ralney. "I endorsed the bill your
committee reported out in a radio
broadcast."
Says Figures Off
Ralney said the treasury had made
miscalculations In the anticipated
deficits in the past three years and
added that In the formulation of the
tax bill last year "you. the secretary
of the treasury, admitted you were
wrong by $400,000,000 tn balancing
the budget and you did not know
how much the deficit would be until
you got outside help."
"Now I think we ought to set the
record straight," Mills replied. "The
figures we submitted to you were on
the basis of September estimates and
I then said they were tentative and
that subsequently I would submit re
vised figures."
Referring to a visit Bernard M.
Baruch made to Washington during
the formulation of the tax legislation,
Ralney said that Mills suggested this
"outside help" be called In.
"It was never made at my sugges
tion," Mills said. "They made no
contribution. I never agreed with
their figures, they agreed with ours."
Mills Pou ni Table
Mills raised his voice and pounded
the table during bis exchange with
Ralney.
Ralney Insisted that Mills had been
short In his estimate last year that
the deficit would be $020,000,000 and
added:
"Now let's be truthful about this.
Even the secretary of the treasury
ought to be truthful."
Standing on his toes and flushed,
Mills waved his arms and shouted:
"As long as my veracity Is chal
lenged X would like the record. Clerk,
get me the record."
A committee clerk left the room
and produced a copy of the hearings
before the committee last January
and read a section In which Mills said
bis figures were tentative.
The purpose of my questioning is
to show you that your suggestions
have not been of the slightest value,"
Ralney said.
Recommendations Fall
"The committee adopted your rec
ommendations and they have failed
to produce by 60 per cent." Ralney
Insisted.
"I recommended the sales tax In
March." Mills shouted again.
"No man on this committee heard
you." Ralney replied.
I don't know what more a secre
tary of the treasury can do than to
make an announcement that he sup
ported the sales tax 100 per cent and
then made a talk over a natlon-wtde
hookup supporting it."
Doughton (D., N. C.) asked again If
Bernard Baruch had not presented
estimates of revenue to the treasury
last year.
"I'll give you the facts." Mills told
him vehemently. "I don't know what
you are talktng about when you men-
tlnn Baruch and his estimates. Let
me tell you that the only estimates
you ever had came from the treasury.
Estimates Always Bad
"The estimates were bad. I admit
that. If you want to take the
sponslblltty off my shoulders and put
them on Baruch, very well, but I have
told you the truth."
' I m glad you admit they were
bad." Ralney broke In." "Your esti
mates have always been bad."
Treadway ( R., Mass.) protested
against Ralney's questions and said
that was no way "to address the
secretary of the treasury."
"I dont know what this Is all
about," Mills said. "Maybe this
furore Is to set up an alibi for not
balancing the budget, I don't know.1

of a menace than most people suppose. They
lower body resistance and often pave the way
for serious Ills. Colds-Susceptlbles those who
"catch colds' easily should be especially care
ful now.
If you belong to this group, here's welcome
news. Vlcks Plan for better Control of Colds
was developed especially for America's millions
of Colds-Susceptlbles and their families.
With certain simple rules of health, Vlcks Plan
combines proper medication at the proper
time for every type and stage of a cold. The
Plan was made possible with the new aid In
preventing colds Vicks Nose A Throat Drops.
It Is the Ideal companion to Vlcks VapoRub
the modern way of treating colds. The two
aid and supplement each other In reducing
the burden of the world's costliest ailment
tr-.e starting point of one-half of all disabling
diseases!
VICKS COLDS-CONTROL Pl.AH
Introduced last year, VtckM Plan has been
amazingly successful In showing the way to
fewpr colds, less vere cold, lews expense from
colds. Here, briefly la the Plan:
Simple Health Rules Oet plenty of rest and
sleep. Eliminate regularly. Drink lots of
water. Eat light, wholesome food.
tVhen Colds Threaten Use Vlcks Nose &
Throat Drops, the new aid tn preventing colds.
If a Cold Develops or strikes without warning
Use Vlcks VapoRub, the nation's standby in
treating colds.
Tn clinical tests among thousands last winter,
Vlcks Colds-Control Plan reduced the number
and durr.tlon of colds by half I cut the danger
and cceta of colds more than half! How you

SOME "COLD" FACTS
It ts estimated that one out of every four
persons Is a Colds-Supt'ble. Approximately
30 million Americans belong to this group.
Indoor workers, as a group, rate high as Colde
Suscepttbles. For Instance, office workers have
nine times as many colds as taxi drivers and
four times as many as soldiers.
Children as a class sre particularly susceptible
to colds. Thousands are absent from school
from three days to three weeks each year be
cause of colds.
Probably the greatest damage done by colds
Is that they so often lead to more serious .
complications.

for flue, bronchitis, pneumonia, and other dis
abling dL-?ases.
