made by Frank TO the army in
dustry college a month ago.
Frank told the group that II
adopted to American conditions,
the Keynes plan would take the
place OF the personal income tax,
both normal and surtax.
He emphasized that all war
plans should be so devised as to
continue as far as possible on
free enterprise or capitalistic basis.
He predicated his plan on the
assumption that there would be
no unemployment in wartime and
that the national income would
aggregate about 1000. 600. 900.
Sources Of Funds
Frank said that SIS, 900. 900. 900
could be set free from these
sources:
About $4,000, 100000 by cur
failing civilian expenditures
for durable consumers goods, such
as automobiles. household machin-
cry and furnishings.
o-Approximately $4,000, DOC, 900
4 by cutting down civilian con-
sumption of non-durable or con-
sumption goods.
o-Another $4,000, oo0. 900 by cur
, failing for several years re-
placement expenditures Of bust
ness.
About $4,000. 900. 900 from in
dlviduals' normal savings, esti-
mated at $4,000, 0oo. 900.
Some OF the methods he suggest
ed for raising funds. he said. also
would have the effect Of reducing
unnecessary civilian expenditures;
for example. there could be heavy
excise taxes on durable consumers
goods. increased rates for mort
gage loans and stiffening Of terms
for installment credit.
But the main source OF war H.
nance would be the forced loan"
plan. For the sake Of illustration.
he said il would start with an
average rate of contribution OF
two per cent for family incomes
OF $1,000 TO $500 and increase
to rs per cent for those with in
comes of over 500. 900. Such rates,
ne added. would produce roughly
more than $4,000. 900. 600 when
ever the national income Is around
$50 .0O0, 900. 900.

Freedom Of Speech Argued
In Supreme Court Appeals

BY the Associated Press.
Los Angeles County attorneys told
the Supreme Court today that the
constitutional guarantees of free
dom of speech and of the press
should not be permitted to impair
"the conception of independent
courts"
The argument was made in two
briefs. One urged the tribunal TO
sustain contempt OF court convic-
ton against the Los Angeles Times.
The conviction grew out Of the pub
LEGATION of editorials in 1887 and
1893 concerning two labor cases and
a woman politician. The contro-
verSy involves the right Of news
paper to comment on court cases
prior to final settlement.
The other brief asked that the
court uphold a contempt conviction
against Harry Bridges, West Coast
labor leader. Bridges was convicted
for sending a telegram to Secretary
Of Labor Frances Perkins criticizing
a decision by the Los Angeles Su-
perior Court.
The briefs, signed by William B.
McKesson, deputy county counsel,
and other attorneys, said:
The conception of independent
courts. uninfluenced by extraneous
forces. is so deeply rooted in our
constitutional system that a spe-
cific guaranty has seldom been
deemed necessary; but it is funda-
mental and is recognized as a public
necessity which the guaranty of
free speech or freedom of the press
cannot be permitted to impair.
Solemn warnings that freedom
Of speech and of the press must
be preserved as bulwark of our
liberties, a defense and an offensive
against totalitarianism, do not ad-
vance the argument very far. We
are still left with the problem Of
delimiting the bounds Of such free
dom"

Reid Rector Named
Commanding Officer
OF CoIored Cadets
Suggests Appointment
Of Military Boord to
Handle Discipline

School ofiicials have appointed
Reid Rector, of Dunbar High School,
to be commanding oficer of the COL
ored cadets during the coming cadet
year on recommendation of 1t. Col.
H. G. Atwood, U. S. Infantry Reserve,
in charge Of training the three bat
talions.
Rector, 17-year-old son of DR..
John King Rector, 1914 S street NV,
last year was a sergeant in Dun
bars B Co. which took second place
in the competitive drills. He is also
a member of the varsity football and
swimming teams and a member of
the Sioux Club, group Of lettermen.
The newly appointed colonel said
one of the first things he will try
to do is promote the appointment of
a military board to work out disci-
pline problems in the cadet battal-
ions rather than turn them all over
to the military instructors. He ex-
planned that this board would handle
such matters as drill cuts but ma
turally. if the problem became too
difficult, it would be turned over to
the instructor.
IT hope to experiment with this
sort of board at Dunbar their year"
young Rector said. If it works out
1T may be extended to the other two
battalions at Armstrong and Car
dozo"
Young Rector has an older brother
now member of the r. o. T. C. at
Howard University, he said.
Other Dunbar officers added to
his staff are: Phillip Johnson, cap
tain and adjutant; John Buchanan,

officer, and Gregory Murray, captain

DUALA, CAMEROONS, WITH
THE DE GAULLE EXPEDITION,
Oct. 9 tdelayed Gen. Charles de
Gaulle landed here today and raised
his standard of the free French"
forces on French soil for the first
time since the French German
armistice.
Gen. de Gaulle stepped ashore at
1890 pm. from the gunboat Com
mandant Duboc, which took part in
the ill-starred attempt to land at
Dakar. He kissed Gov. Gen. Leclerc
on both cheeks and then the two
reviewed native soldiers and sailors
and French troops of the Cameroons
garrison on the pier.
The Cameroons decided some time
ago to join De Gaulle's movement
to carry on the war against Ger
many.
Crowds Break Into ClamOr.
A great cheer went up from men,
bers of the De Gaulle expedition
as an officer of the garrison shouted
on their arrival:
Here you are at home and there's
plenty of pinard!" tThe latter refers
to the ordinary red wine traditional
to French soldiers)
AS the Commandant Duboc touched
the pier, three ranks of colored
troops snapped to attention. In
front of them were grouped the
governor general and his staff. For
a moment there was silence Then
the crowds surging on to the pier
broke into wild clamor.
While the members of the expedi-
ton were debarking, Gen. de Gaulle,
who has been administering the
free French fight against Germany
from London, drove through the
densely packed streets of the
beflagged city to the governors
palace.
There he was presented to local
officials and native chieftains, many
of whom had come from Senegal
Dahomey and the Ivory Coast to
join his fight.
CAMERON Declared Ready"
In presenting the free French"
leader, Gov. Leclerc said:
Il have not promised the people
of the Cameroons an easy life, but
rather one of sacrifice. There are
no weak hearts here. We are men
of firm resolution. CAMERON is ready
for all eventualitieS.
Gen. de Gaulle, speaking calmly
replied:
Cameron has set magnificent
example already, followed by
number of colonies, and others will
follow.
Il cite Hitler's words in 'Mein
Kampf' that a people may be beat
en-, but when a people and their
leaders accept defeat then they are
forever lost.
"On the contrary, if handful
of men do not accept defeat then
everything is to be hoped for"
The CameroonS, he concluded,
will have a place in the history

of this war and in the history Of

The Cameroons, bounded on the
