Financial News By HENRY H. HEIMANN Executive Manager, National Association Of Credit Men NEW ORLEANS, May 4-It's not, it may seem, all "milk and honey" in this land of ours. There is today defense boom. Of that, we are all aware. But that stimulus won't last forever.

As to taxes. -for the first time in our history we are moving towards what might be called a "European" taxation schedule. Defense Bend Program Essential It's vitally necessary that we meet the defense program costs by additional taxation but taxes can'ta practical- matter-cover all the expenditures. The defense bond program just begun is essential, both for raising fnuds to pay the detense bills and for helping to hold down the inflation stimulus that the defense program generates. combination of increased taxation plus the sale of defense bonds will tend to syphon off rising consumer purchasing power.

That is generally destrable for if it is not done consumer demands will stimulate production of goods and largement of plant facilities, both of which may impede our defense program activity. The danger in any new tax legislation 'is the temptation levy outof -proportion on the group usually called the middle class. That group is the backbone of our nation. Its existence has in the past largely distinguished and will, no doubt, in the future distinguish our country and our form of government from those existing in' other parts of the world. The middle cless constitutes the group that can, seemingly, be easily reached and from which it is less difficult to extract the- increased tions, taxation this costa.

Sound Taxation Legislation Called For Most people will agree that of the present costs of good national part defense must be met by this generation of taxpayers. They realize that higher income taxes must be expected. Likewise, there can be little objection to an excess profits tax that is soundly conceived, on3 that seeks to recapture the greater portion of unusual earnings arising out of the defense business. Such a tax bill should be designed with a recognition of the necessity of providing for the extra hazards and readjustments costa of business that are 'occasioned by the defense program.

Greyhound Lines Affected in East, West; Conference Today CLEVELAND, May 4P-All service on Pennsylvania Greyhound lines was halted today walkout of AFL bus drivers, maintenance and terminal employes, affecting approximately 1,400 workers and a daily passenger load averaging 18,700 riders.

8. R. Sundstrum, president of the lines, said quiet picketing was in progress in many cities and that no operations were possible. He reported "some inconvenience to ant companies in Baltimore and Cincinnati," where terminals are used jointly by Pennsylvania Greyhound and other lines. The system ranges from New York and Norfolk in the, East to Chicago and St.

Union representatives rescinded their call for a walkout last night upon receiving Steelman's request for the Washington conference, but said his telegram arrived too late for them to bring about an orderly deferment of the walkout. Pennsylvania Greyhound is the second largest of 14 Greyhound systems, its routes roughly paralleling those of the Pennsylvania Railroad, which holds a half interest in the company, Sundstrom estimated that between four and five thousand selective service men on furlough, due to return to training camps within the next few days, would be affected by the cessation of operations.

John L. Conner, Labor department conciliator, said "we are all going down to Washington for further efforts toward conciliation, and I hope the dispute can be settled 6000.

Miller, works manager. at the DeLaval Separator company plant, which employs 1,300 men on a twoshift, 100 hours week basis. Mr. Miller pointed out that the night shift, at the present time not filled out, although there is higher rate of pay, because there is not enough skilled labor.
