They Indicated If It were pos sible they would try either to ellm In at the taxes, to reduce them or to postpone their effective date. Two Tpes Taxes The measure now levies two types or taxes on payrolls: one for contrl. butory old-age annuities and one for unemployment Insurance. The old-age annuity taxes start at 3 per cent on January t, 1837 half paid by the em ploye and half by the employer-and rise 1 per oent each three years to total of 6 per cent on January 1. 1949. The unemployment insurance tax es also on payrolls are all paid by the employer and begin at 1 per cent on January 1, 1930. and Increase 1 per oent a year to 8 per cent on Jan uary 1, 1938. The committee experta calculated that the unemployment insurance tax would cost the employer 300,000,000 next calendar year, 400.000,000 lr. 1937, 600,000,000 In 1938 and each year afterward. They figured that the annuities tax would cost the employer and the em ploye each 200.000.000 In 1937, O3O0.- 000.000 In 1940, MOO .000 .000 in 1943. 500.000.000 In 1946 and 600,000,000 in 1949. Peak In loin Tli us, they calculated, the total tax burden would be 200.000.000 In 1936. rising to $800,000,000 in 1937. to !,-, 000.000.000 in 1038. to 1,200.000,000 In 1940, to 1,40,000.000 In 1943, to 1,600,000.000 In 1946 and to a. 61, 800.000,000 minimum in 1949. Republicans also said that In ad dition to those sums it would be nec essary to get 98,438,000 out of gener al tax receipts next fiscal year for other phases of the bill. That total include $49,750,000 for old age pensions to the needy; 24,. 750.000 for dependent children, 10, 000.000 for public health and t3,800, 000 for material and child welfare. In future years, the cost of old age pensions for the needy would de crease, but after the next fiscal year there would be a federal appropria tion of 49.000,000 annually for ad ministration of unemployment Insur ance under systems set up by the states.

The decrease waa due largely, W. R. Gregg, chief of the weather bureau, said, "to the well co-ordinated effort of sir transport companies and gov ernment agencies concerned with weather services. The report pointed out that com mercial aviation now employed more men with training In meteorology and as a result transport companies were better able to decide when It was safe to fly and when schedules had better be abandoned. "Some companies." it continued, "compelled their pilots to report promptly weather conditions to the weather bureau." These reporta provided a yaluable supplement to airway weather ser vice, the department's report added, and Improved the safety of air trans- , portatlon. BUSINESS ENTERS (Continueo from page one.) dence of the uncertainties rising from threats of labor dissensions a week earlier, the general rate of gain has encountered no serious retrograde currents, but the passing of March has brought few regrets. Retailers have been encouraged particularly by the more rapid move ment of luxury lines, and now are estimating the April volume will rise 20 to 35 per cent above that re corded for April, 1934." The best retail showing of the week, the survey stated, was In the middle western area, where gains amounted to 10 to 12 per cent above last year. Higher schedules adopted by a number of divisions during the week has lifted the general rate of in dustrial operations 12 to 15 per cent In excess of the comparative 1934 showing, the review stated. Production of drugs, furniture, stoves, paints and men's clothing at some centers has reached a new high for three or four years, with the peak ' of the season yet to be readied. It said. OF PERILED BY ACTION IN CASE OF LUMBER WASHINGTON. April B. (AP) Dismissal of the Belcher lumber i code violations case In the supreme court by the Justice department and t NRA was sold by Senator Pope (D., ; Idaho) today to have "greatly en- ; dangered" the possibility of any ex tension of the NIRA by congress. ! The senator criticized what he ' termed the "only possible conclu- ! slon" from the dismissal of the cose fear of NRA officials of hav ing the NIRA declared unconstitu tional as "short-sighted" In thot the reaction in congress was much more unfavorable than an adverse court decision possibly could have been. Senator Bone (D.. Wash.) said the only logical conclusion he could reach from the dismissal action was that NRA Intended to drop the lum ber Industry from code administra tion and did not care to risk a court test on a code that was to be drop ped for fear of endangering other codes. The national control committee of the lumber code authority continued in session here, considering the rec ommendation of authority officials tl at the code be suspended.

The report shows that elk and mule deer, the principal game ani mals of Oregon and Washington, are on the Increase In all the for ests where they are found. Black tailed deer, however, are sharply de creasing In some localities and axe hardly holding their own In other areas. While the increase In elk and mule deer la gratifying, according to the report, the numbers have in creased to such a point In some localities that a plan for removal of the excess Is required. Otherwise the forest service expects heavy game losses from starvation In such areas the next winter. A definite plan Is advised to develop the greatest amount of game, consistent with available food, on all game areas; also to bring back under-protected species, like black-tall deer, by bet ter protection from poachers and disease. Few Mountain Sheep. Mountain sheep are almost extinct In the two states, according to the report, although a few are continu ally reported In the Wallowa moun tains In Oregon and a larger num ber In the Chelan forest in north central Washington. Antelopes are fairly numerous In Oregon, though none of this species Is reported from Washington. Mountain goats appear to he numerous In the north Cas cade area of Washington, but are extinct In Oregon. Bear are Increas ing slowly in the two states, ac cording to the estimates.

The more valuable fur-bearing ani mals, including fisher, otter, mink, marten and beaver, are not making the increase in numbers that the forest service believes Justified. The present numbers of these animals. as reported, are a mere remnant oi the population for which this north west territory was once famous. This statement applies particularly in th case of beaver. Fish Life Dwindling. The report also points oui that the drain on flab life through angling Is becoming serious. In spite of the rather extensive restocking program of the state game commis sions. "With every effort being made by these commissions to maintain satisfactory fishing conditions, the demand continues to be In excess of the supply," says the report, "and some remedy for this condition must be devised."
