BUDAPEST. Hungary. - On the
wall Of our room Is a large map.
About 40 per cent Of the part shown
as land Is outlined In green. That
is Russia. Another 20 per cent Is a
white strip across the bottom. That
is North Africa. The remaining 40
per cent is a Jig saw puzzle of little
pieces except In one spot, just of
center, and outstanding because it is
outlined In Nazi red. That, of course,
Is Germany. just east is q tiny
splotch in the dead center of the
map. That Is Hungary. Nearly in
the center of that is Budapest.
Somewhere near the center of Buda-
pest, We sit in our room studying the
whole Of the map.
We are here because Hungary is
neutral and is an excellent observa-
ton point for covering the eastern
front. Today we are not so sure of
Hungary's continued neutrality, but
1t still is good place to watch the
war as time goes on, perhaps
even better than we bargained for.
For, here it is not very encour-
aging. The day we crossed the bor-
der from Jugoslavia into Hungary,
we began to see troops troops
in trucks, troops marching and
riding horseback, some in uniform,
some just freshly called up still in
civilian clothes carrying packs on
their backs. The roads were crowded
with peasants leading cartless horses
into the cities. In Budapest itself,
hundreds of these have been brought
in every day. Policemen and SOL
diers are everywhere. Most ominous
Is the work on the several large
bridges across the Danube connect
ing two of the most beautiful cities
In the world Buda and Pest.
The hiterto graceful charm of these
bridges has suddenly been marred
by the erection of scaffoldings, by
soldiers running up and down the
girders, by huge guns and spotlights
on the bridge towers, all covered
over with heavy tarpaulin.
Foreigners Desert Cafes.
Judging from outward appear
ances, the foreign population of
Budapest is the group most upset
by these preparations. The Hun
garians themselves, not even know
ing who they are modified against,
continue to fill their coffee houses,
to walk along the corso, and to dance
until the small hours in the many
night clubs for which Budapest is
famous, and then to go on to small
cafes to be spirited away by the wild
wailings of gypsy fiddle.
The many foreigners who are
usually to be found in Budapest and
usually in these cafes and night
clubs simply have disappeared. The
few who remain cannot be bothered
with such activities, but linger
around available radios to get the
news from London. The American
legation is packed by people want
ing to know what they should do,
and the news offices are full of
Americans seeking the latest news.
What are you going to do?" asks
a small smartly dressed. gray haired
woman, stay here, really? But
you're too young, both of you.
Aren't you afraid? Well, I suppose,
but even If it is job, I wouldn't
like it."

SUBMARINE TRAGEDIES

The sinking of the British submarine
Thetis with the loss of SO lives, following
the disaster which took &c lives in the
American Squalls only nine days before,
brought the number of dead in sunken
submarines on peace time duty in the last
25 years to approximately 1000
A total of 20 submarines have been
sunk with loss of life in time of peace, &C
cording to the best records available, of
which there were Z British with 376 dead !;
American, 40 dead; 3 japanese, 215
dead; Russian, 155 dead; French, LOG
dead, and Italian with 81 dead.
American submarines sunk, with the
number of dead in parentheses, were the
F-4. sunk at Honolulu March "a, 1915,
l21) the S-5l, sunk off Rhode Island Sep
TENDER rs, 1925, 1887; the 81, sunk off
Provincetown, Mass, December 1T, 1927,
(4O), and the Squalus, sunk off the New
Hampshire coast May %, 1889. (26l.. Two
of these. the S-5l and the Sd, were sunk
in collision with other vessels.
The saving of 80 of the So men aboard
the Squalus, all who were not drowned
when the vessel first sank, was one Of the
greatest rescues of all time, and an almost
incredible feat considering that the ship
lay in 24O feet of water,
How much better off the world would
be if the deadly submarines had never
been invented!

PEOPLES FORUM
AGAINST SALES TAX

Editor, The Citizen:
believe that all thoughtful
citizens will regard with some
thing like contempt the PROPOSE
ton to raise needed money by
laying an additional burden on
the backs of every hungry soul
in Key West with a sales tax:
merely so that the duly elected
officials of the city may evade
their sworn duty of collecting
taxes due and overdue.
1t is time for a new deal in Key
West; a deal that regards the con-
dition of the loWly and cease be-
ing partial to the holders of prop
erty.
Al sales tax will be a knife
drawn across the threats of our
merchants and it will be paid
mainly by people too poor to be
able to deal out of the city.
There is just one thing to do
and that is to deal justly with all
the people of Key West. The
law provides for that and lasting
disgrace awaits all who would
turn aside the course of justice
and add to the burden of the
poor. Whether it is apparent or
not their cry is heard by God
Almighty.

TAXES FOR PUBLIC WORKS

N
City council tonight will hold spe-
eial meeting to consider leVying tax to go
into fund for sponsorship of federal
works projects. One suggestion is for
one cent gasoline tax and another is for a
general sales tax of two per cent. It is
realized that such taxes would have to be
paid voluntarily by gasoline consumers or
buyers of commodities
There seems to be considerable dam
ger in either of these two forms of pro-
posed taxation. Operators of motor We
hicles already pay combined state and
federal tax on gasoline of eight cents a
gallon. That is very steep rate of taxa
ton and generally regarded as high enough
or too high even by such liberal spenders
as our own state legislators. 1t is believed
Key West gasoline tax would lead to
evasion of payment by motorists crossing
the city line, and would give the mainland
knockers of this community an excuse to
turn tourists away from the area. Why, it
is asked, should motorists be singled out
to bear the burden of the expense in
yolyed in providing WPA Workmen with
jobs and in giving the city needed public
improvements?
sales tax would be fair tax, for it
would hit everyone, including the WPA
workers who stand to reap the greatest
benefit from the sponsorship program.
This form of taxation has its drawbacks
also. It would be difficult to collect, even
with token system as suggested by the
planning committee. It might become a
racket. Our city officials might want to
perpetuate such tax after the public
works emergency ends. One thing seems
certain-no federal agency or state-con-
trolled body such as Overseas Road and
Toll Bridge District would be permitted to
pay sale tax on commodities and ma
terials bought in Key West The business
Key West enjoys from these sources would
of Key West want to lose this source of in
come?
Other cities in Florida confronted
with the need of revenue have considered
all these various special taxation proposals
and have discarded them. Those cities
have turned to the only real source of rev.
enue collection of taxes on property 1t
is reported Key West has large volume
of uncollected taxes on its books. It is also
reported that a great deal of these taxes
are collectable.
Why, it is asked, doesn't the city of
Key West collect these taxes? Other cities
do. Our city officials in opposing the new
charter have contended taxes can be col
lected under the present charter. Why
don't they act to collect such taxes? Why
do they demand special taxes for public
works sponsorship?
1t seems to The Citizen this source of
revenue should be thoroughly explored be-
fore any special taxes are levied.

Shape of Atoms
Shown in PhOtOgraDhs

LAFAYETTE, Ind.-By electron pho
Biography Purdue University physicists have
seen the shapes assumed by atoms in
solids.
Round as baseballs when "free" in q
gas, atoms in solid take the form OF
footballs. They link together, end to end,
sometimes like chains, sometimes like petals
of flowers. The ends do not touch, but are
held by electrical attraction.
This photography is the first scientific
experiment verifying theory that atoms
in solids are not round. The experiment
was directed by DR.. Karl Lark -Horowitz,
head Of the physics department.. The
mathematical explanations Of the X-ray
pictures were made by DR.. H. NJ James
and Vivian johnson.
Electron photography is like X-ray. pic
lures Of atoms. Although electrons, small
est units of matter. do not penetrate as
much as x-rays, they pass through thin
films.
An atom is a mass Of particles spaced
by electrical forces. An electron can pass
around, or even partly through such an
atomic mass But in doing so the elec-
tron "shies" at the electrical forces In an
atom.
The path which the electron takes to
reach the Photographic plate indicates the
shapes Of the atoms which caused 1t to
"shy."
