or city or county worker, even after
the federal government turned to in
come taxes as a revenue source.
Some judge, somewhere, sometime,
had said the Constitution prevented
it. It was just taken for granted.
All of that now has been changed,
however, and if the pay Of a county
judge is sufficient to fall within the
federal tax brackets, he will pay.
1t will be the same with everyone
from the governor on down and from
the mayor on down. 1t will be the
same with federal officials and other
federal employees stationed or liv-
ing within state that imposes in
come taxes on its residents.
No one has yet calculated how
much additional tax will be obtained
by the federal government as a re-
suit of the decision. Nor has any,
one made a real guess as to what
the ruling will mean in additional
dollars and cents to state govern
ments which may now safely i'm
pose the income tax on all federal
employees. In the case of the fed
eral payroll, the civil service COM
missiop figures there are something
like 300 thousand receiving checks
twice each month. There are in
addition, hundreds of employees of
outfits like IVA, RFC and other cor
porations. The stock of these is
owned by the federal government
and they are, therefore, 'instrumen-
talities" of the federal government,
hitherto with payrolls exempt from
state income taxes.
There is one thing, however, OF
which we may be sure: the jobs,
the political plums, the 5-thousand
and 10-thousand dollar jobs have
suddenly become less juicy. They
are less lucrative by about $500 or
a 10-thousand dollar job.

come classic reference, and it is
quite human that lesser mortals
should want to ship to Panama for
a similar experience.
Yet another glamorous tale of the
past lures folk to the Panama Canal
For centuries after the mysterious
wealth of the East lured travellers
and adventures, explorers sought
for a northwest passage to the
Orient. 1t was this that brought
Columbus across the Atlantic. Eng
lish, French and Dutch explorers
were just as much interested The
Indians told the Spanish navigators
of narrow place between two
oceans" " which they supposed meant
a narrow strait of water. and for
years they sailed up and down the
coast looking for a passage to China.
Balboa's discovery of the Pacific
put an end to the search which had
occupied the minds of men for gen.
erations. The strait turned out to
sbe land, an isthmus, on it first was a
road. then a railroad. today canal
The strait that was not there when
the first white men came is there
today and vessels of all nations pass
through it,.
Americans Want to See.
1t would be easy to write of the
tourist attractions of Panama. of
the strange sights and experiences
which all passengers on these cruise
ships will have this winter, but
strange sights and experiences can
be had almost anywhere. These
are not the lure to Panama. Rather
is 1t as here suggested, men and
women to glimpse the Pacific as
Balboa did, they want to see where
the galleOns of Spain loaded their
vast hoard of jewels and gold. they
want to see the passage to China
that Columbus could not find. And
to these attractions of Panama
which cannot be seen elsewhere in
the world, let us add one more which
certainly motivates many Journey

of one of the greatest victories of
man over disease that the world
has ever known. Thrilling as it may
have been for Balboa to discover
the Pacific, it was a far greater
glory to have been that United
States Army engineer, George
Washington Goethals. who in seven
years built the canal. and, it was
also an unforgettable glory to have
been Dr. William Crawford Gorgas,
who made Panama a health resort,
and wiped out in six months a
disease that had been a scourge
for at least 400 years. If you want
to know why passengers pick out
Panama for visit. don't ask the
souvenir shops or even the hos

War Turns Travel

Rediscovery Boom
Cut in Sea Trips

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Europe's

can tourist dollars at home the re-

Coupled with many hundreds of

These and other interesting facts
are disclosed in a national survey

RediscOvery Has Begun.
The rediscovery of their home

Almost Half Of Cruise Ships to Halt
To Allow Americans See ConoI

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Among
the strange but true stories about
the cruises which Americans are
taking. to the West Indies this
winter is the tale that most Of the
passengers look forward, not to
seeing the romantic West Indian
islands. but to seeing a fascinating
strip of the mainland called the
Panama Canal Zone. According to
the Institute of Foreign Travel, al
though the Caribbean is nearly as
large as the Mediterranean and has
scores of interesting places which
would be glad to entertain cruise
ships. practically half the cruises
which the great ocean liners of the
transatlantic lines will make to
the West Indies this winter, begin
ming Christmas week, will call at
Cristobal in Panama
The reason for this lure is not
only as old as the treaty of SO years
ago, which gave the United States
the right to build the famous canal,
but it goes back to the days of the
California gold rush. and to the
even earlier days of the Conquista-
dors. Unquestionably. the present.
day interest in matters of American
defense make people desirous of
seeing with their own eyes the place
which unites the Pacific and the
Atlantic Oceans.
In the old days it took a ship five
months to go from Boston to San
Francisco. Even our war ships
would take two months to go from
the Pacific to the Atlantic, but
when we stand beside the Panama
Canal today and think of the time
saved to our fleet, it is with some
pride we learn that the entire Amer
ican fleet can pass from the Pacific
to the Atlantic in 48 hours. The
trip around Cape Horn in the old
days was one of $4,000 miles. the
trip across the isthmus today is only
46 miles.
Rich Trade Route.
That isthmus has probably been
in its time the richest. or one of the
richest, trade routes in the world.
The first road across it, from Old
Panama to Porto Bello on the
Atlantic, was built over 400 years
ago. Over it came the priceless
treasures of gold and silver stripped
from the Inca temples of Peru.
Once year great Spanish galleons
came to Porto Bello to collect this
vast wealth. and all the romance
which we have associated with the
adventurers who manned or at
tackled those galleons in Elizabethan
times seems to revive as we land at
Cristobal from our cruise ship.
The Isthmus of Panama connects
with another story which has meant
much to us. the story of the first
party of white men led by Balboa
across that famous strip of land in
the 18th century. That famous day.

PONCE, Puerto Rico. Dec. 23.-The

Ponce, on the Southern coast of the
United States territory of Puerto
Rico. Although Ponce was the first
city to be entered by the Americans
who took Puerto Rico in 1898, it

Latin heritage it derived from its
Conquistadores. English is spoken

a great numDer OF pOlnCS. Inc
opening two-bid was followed by
North's conventional two no-trump
response, showing less than one sure
trick. When South jumped to game,
North gave him chance with his
bid of four spades. South seized
this opportunity by jumping to a
slam. Now West doubled, expecting
TO take two tricks with his aces,
and South promptly redoubled.
Declarer trumped the ace of dia-
nonds opening, drew two rounds OF
trumps and then, when East showed
out, played a fatal third round.
The queen of spades was played.
West ducked and when the 10 fell
from East's hand, West also refused
to take the jack of spades. And
now South had no way of getting
rid of his small club and was set
one for a swing of we'll over 1000
points.
Obviously, West should have drawn
two rounds of trumps, but he then
should have left the last trump in
dummy and shifted to the queen
of spades, since West was marked
with the ace. Granting that West
would still have refused to win the
first two spade leads, South would
then have to risk playing three
rounds of clubs in order to trump
his losing club in dummy. And,
of course, the club ruff would have
, succeeded.
