Dealers Profitino
By Defense Tax
Face Penalties

Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Guy T. Helvering said today that
dealers who misrepresent increased
prices on commodities as due
solely" to the new defense taxes
would be liable to fine or imprison-
ment on conviction.
Although a formal statement bv
Commissioner Helvering did not
outline the commodities specifically
affected. it was learned that COM
plants have been received from the
public on the increases in prices of
liquor, cigarettes, gasoline and
radios.
The Commissioner explained that
these complaints had charged that
dealers in articles subject to the
internal revenue taxes have raised
the prices of these products to con-
sumers in amounts considerably in
excess of the defense taxes imposed
by the Revenue Act of l940."
In issuing his formal warning, "
Mr.. Helvering pointed out that such
fraudulent representation consti-
tuted a misdemeanor, punishable on
conviction by fine of not more than
$1,000 or by imprisonment not ex-
ceedlng one year, or both"

Three Men Fleeing Paris
Take Month 10 Reach j. 5,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 12.-An escape
from Paris which started last June
20 ended today for three men who
arrived on the Dixie Clipper from
Lisbon.
Harold McEnness, general Euro
pean representative of the Bendix
Aviation Corp. and Robert Tate and
Frank Kunna, also Bendix employees,
started from Paris by automobile.
Their car was wrecked in a COL
lision caused by the bombing of an
automobile ahead of them. So they
bought bicycles and after seven
days of riding and seven nights in
barns and cowsheds they reached
Bordeaux, from where they took a
train to Lisbon.
Sometimes we had food and
sometimes we did not" Mr.. Tate
related, "but we could always get
wine"
II think the Germans must have
some kind OF bomb sight almost
as good as our American bomb
sight, judging from the effective
aiming" Mr.. McEnness said.
The clipper brought 81 passen-
gers 13 Americans and eight
aliens-including Tessa and Marina
Kennedy, 9-month -old twins from

Problems incident to the under

the Care of European Children.
The session will be held at 4

the Police Women's Bureau is vice
chairman and Mrs. w. A. Roberts
Of the Council of Social Agencies is
secretary.
Thus far, it was stated, the num-
Der OF Washingtonians offering
their homes to British refugees has
been below expectations.
Meanwhile the German Embassy
here released German political and
economic report advising that Brit
ish authorities especially mark" the
vessels transporting child refugees
to the United States, "else Germany
can assume no responsibility" The
report said:
British children have been sent
TO America. The transport passes
through war area and consists of
ships which are not in any way
specially marked as vessels trans
porting children. 1t can well be
suspected that the British govern
ment is not only evacuating children
but is at the same time transporting
material which would be exposed to
attacks from the German fleet.
"In doing so the British are OBJ
viously using the same methods
which they employed in the trans
port of German and italian war
and civil prisoners. Children are
exposed to serious danger by trans
porting them through war areas,
Germany can assume no RESPONSE
bility for vessels which are neither
specially marked with the Red Cross
nor clearly reported to the German
authorities as being children trans
port vessels"

plus the first class, would put 1,4l5,-
900 men in camps by that date.
Following Army officials to the
stand, Rear Admiral c. w. Nimitz,
U. S. N, testified in favor of the bill.
He explained he was speaking un-
officially because the Budget Bureau
has not yet cleared" the pending
bill.
The admiral joined in rejecting
the proposed eight-month training
period. He suggested IL months as
essential in the Navy.
The Navy today has $500 men,
Admiral Nimitz said, and, while it
expects to get up to 10000 by
January /, that would still be only
IS per cent of the personnel needed
for the ships scheduled for service
during the fiscal year.
In explaining why he believes the
Guard should be called to service,
Gen. Marshall said the first men en-
rolled under selective service legis-
lation should be integrated into the
Guard and the Regular Army, rather
than emasculate either the Guard or
the Army by taking from them the
personnel needed to train the re-
cruits as a separate force.
Asked by Senator Hill, Democrat,
Of Alabama how long the Guard
would have to be kept in service, the
general estimated the minimum Pc
riod should be one year.
To call them for shorter time,
he said, would be unsatisfactory to
the men themselves.
What they most dread" the gen.
eral added, lis to be called out for
only three or four months, which
disrupts their business affairs"
If the trainees are to be put in
existing units of the Regular Army
and National Guard, it would be de-
structive OF morale, the general said.

were serving beside men getting S21

He described the eight-month time
period as insufficient" He told
Representative Wadsworth, Repub-
lican, of New York, one of the bills
sponsors, if the War Department
was drawing the bill it would say l8
months.
Il would compromise on Is
months, but it should not be less
than a year." Gen. Marshall added
Representative Wadsworth brought
out by examination that the Army
today has 250000 men, and that
during June the net increase in VOL
untary enlistments was $4,000. Point
ing out that Congress has appro-
priated for volunteers up to
strength OF 375,000 men, Mr.. Wads-
worth estimated that on the basis
OF June enlistments, it will take the
Army 10 months to fill the congress
sional authorization. Gen. Marshall
agreed.
100000 Fall Enrolment.
The number of men to be enrolled
at the start under the training bill
should be between 100000 and AGO.
600, Gen. Marshall replied to a
question by Senator Reynolds,
Democrat, of North Carolina. The
testimony indicated this enrolment
would be in the fall, followed by
100000 more next spring.
Gen. Marshall said plan like the
pending bill does two things: First,

ton; second, makes possible the
