Govt. Cuts Off New Car Spare WASHINGTON (UP)—The government today knocked the spare tire off new cars. To save rubber for truck, tractor and farm equipment tires, the National Production authority (NPA) directed that new passenger cars be delivered with only four tires. Several of the big automobile manufacturers already had adopted that as their own policy. The order, effective as of yesterday, does not prevent new-car buyers from purchasing a fifth tire themselves to replace the one left off by the factory. The "no spare" order is part of a general order which cuts by 1500 tons a month the amount of rubber allowed for civilian use. NPA officials had once planned a cut of 7500 tons in civilian use of rubber but held up their order because a Senate committee objected to it. No Second Boost Till '52 -- Snyder WASHINGTON (UP)—Secretary of the Treasury Snyder today called for prompt action on the administration's $10 billion "first round" tax increase proposal, but said a "second round" boost can be postponed until next year in view of a vastly improved budget situation.

Revealing new official budget estimates, Snyder told the House ways and means committee that: 1. This fiscal year, which ends next June 30, should produce a surplus of about $3 billion in contrast with the $2,700,000,000 deficit President Truman forecast in January. 2. Tax revenues next fiscal year, which starts July 1, should be about $3 billion above the January forecast, indicating that the previous deficit prediction of $16,-500,000,000 will be no more than $13,500,000,000. It was this extraordinary improvement which prompted the treasury secretary to abandon the administration's earlier demand for a second round $6,500,000,000 tax hike in 1951. Snyder declared: "The prudent course now is the prompt enactment of the tax rate increases already recommended by the president." "My considered judgment can be state briefly: defense expenditures will increase so rapidly in the period ahead that the Treasury's present budgetary surplus will disappear quickly." "While the exact course of defense spending cannot now be blueprinted, it is all too clear already that within the coming fiscal year we shall need at least the $10 billion minimum program recommended by the president. 'No one can know what lies ahead, and it would be most imprudent to delay the legislation required now for our financial preparedness.'" Snyder added that "the increases in corporation and individual taxes and the excise taxes (all proposed by Snyder Feb. 5) represent the basic changes in the tax structure that are now desirable." "No one can know what lies ahead, and it would be most imprudent to delay the legislation required now for our financial preparedness." Snyder added that "the increases in corporation and individual taxes and the excise taxes (all proposed by Snyder Feb. 5) represent the basic changes in the tax structure that are now desirable." These called for a $3,600,000,000 increase in individual income taxes, a $3,080,000,000 increase in corporate income taxes and a $3,035,000,000 boost in excise (sales) levies. With those, Snyder had coupled a requested $440,000,000 increase in taxes on capital gains, meaning profit derived from sale of property. The four raises together made up the $10,155,000,000 tax increase sought in what was called a "first round" tax measure. The individual income tax increase recommended was four percentage points equivalent to a boost of $4 on each $100 of taxable income. It would lift the top corporate income tax rate to 55 per cent from the present 47. Among the excise rate boosts Snyder recommended in February were a jump to 20 per cent, from 7 on automobiles; at the manufacturer's price level; and a jump to 25 per cent, from 10, on television sets and most major household appliances; also boosts on liquor, tobacco and gasoline taxes. When Snyder first made his plea for a first-round boost he said he would be back soon with his plans for more money. MONDAY, APRIL 2, 1861 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Anaheim Gazetteer by JOHN S.

The prehistoric Reuther Flogs Wage Freezing WASHINGTON (UP)—Walter P. Reuter, president of the CIO United Auto Workers, said today that unions "are not willing to have our wages frozen and everything else going sky high." He proposed that policy-making questions arising in the nation's defense mobilization program be taken out of the hands of Charles E. Wilson and lodged instead in a board of perhaps 12 men representing industry, labor, farmers and the public. "No one superman in America is capable of meeting the complex problems involved in this mobilization program," Reuther said in a copyrighted interview with the magazine U.S. News and World Report: Reuther declared organized labor's dissatisfaction with the mobilization program and its accompanying controls stems from the fact that "wages have lagged behind prices and profits have moved ahead at a much faster rate than wages ..." "The present 10 per cent wage freeze permits a $100,000 executive to receive a $10,000 increase but does not permit a worker receiving 50 cents an hour to re-tionary."

(P)—A 16-year-old boy has admitted slaying his bed-ridden uncle and two aunts here because he "had trouble getting out nights to see his girl friend," authorities said. State Police in Delaware said the boy, William A. Nickle, confessed the triple shooting yesterday and gave the motive. New Jersey authorities left for Delaware today to pick up the youth. Nickle was arrested at Pearson's Corner, Del., yesterday a few hours after neighbors found the bodies of Charles Brown, 49, an incurable invalid; his wife, Mary, 42 and Brown's sister, Mrs. Myrtle Brown, 45, who had been helping to care for him. Dover Police Chief John J. Valley said the boy fled from the scene of the shooting late Saturday night in his uncle's car and headed for Delaware to visit his parents. Variously described as quiet and unassuming by neighbors and as a troublemaker by authorities, young Nickle had been living with his uncle here for the past two years after getting into difficulties with juvenile authorities in Delaware. Valley said the boy had almost everything he wanted, including a bicycle and a movie projector, but brooded over being scolded for taking his uncle's car. He took it frequently without permission, Valley said, even though he wasn't old enough to have a license. Two days ago, Valley said, Nickle traded the movie projector for a .22 calibre rifle he said he wanted to use for squirrel hunting.
