WA$HING'IDN_ April I0—(AP)—- i

“Sharply conflicting views regarding

the, imposition of a general sales tax to help raise 83.500.000.000 of new revenue developed in the House cf Representatives Ways and Means cominittce today. after President Roosevelt had indicatcd opposition to such a levy.

At his press conference. the Pne- sident was asked about his attitude toward a sacs tax and replied that it was the same as always.

“That means that you do not care for it?" he was asked. i

Not very much. Mr. Roosevelt re-

Representative John Dingell (Dem. Mich). expressed the viewpoint of numerous legislators when he char- acterized the sales tax as inequit- able and unfair in that it would impose an "undue snare" of e burden on "the little fellows."

Representative Wesley Disney (Dem-Okla). asserted. on the other hand. that the existing federalgas- oline tax was actually a sales tax. as was the tax on theatre admis- sions. Many states aready have sales taxes. Disney added.

Although the great Indian Con- gress under the spiurlng of Mahat- ma. Gandhi. has announced it will not help Britain in the war with money. men or materials. because the request for Indian independ- ence has been refused. the 00n- gress also announced that it "h no desire to embarrass Britons in their struggle for very life." So in reality industrial India stands firin- ly at England's side in the war against taller‘ . to information available here.

Most surprising is the Indian enthusiasm for the air fcvce. In India there is an Indian ali- force trained by the British Roya‘ Air Force. One squadron now serv- lhfr on the northwest frontier of India is entirely manned and of- ficered by Indians. An Indian air force volunteer rmserve has taken
