FLIVVER-FLYING

Some idea of the growth of flying is
seen in the spectacular flight of hundreds
of small planes from all parts of the
United States to Florida, where the annual
All-American Air Manoeuvres took place.
The pilots of the light planes ranged
from young men to grandfathers. They
represented all walks of life. With cruis-
ing speeds of about seventy-five miles an
hour the light planes make about 500 or
600 miles with ease and economy
These small craft manage to land and
take-off in small fields. Their emergence
indicates that the day of mass flying is
closer than many of us suspect In fact,
the production of light planes has nearir
doubled in the last year.

New Taxes 10 Meet
Govt Expenses

WASHINGTON. Nov. 90. CUP)-
Chairman Robert L. Doughton OF
the house Wavs and means COM
mittee said today after confer
ence with President Roosevelt that
federal taxes should be increased
next year to bring in enough reve-
nue. to balance regular government
expenditures, exclusive of defense.
Doughton said that defense spend
ing could not be met with extra
taxes and that every effort should
be made to eeonOmize in monde
tense expenditures and to meet
their costs with new levies that
would tend to balance that part Of
the budget
Outside of increased national de-
Tense costs" Doughton said, lit is
my individual opinion that after
effecting every proper and reason
able economy We should raise suf-
ficient additional revenue at least
to meet the regular expense of the,
government.
THE Lord knows we won't be
able to meet this $13,0O0,000 900 or
$14,000,000,000 in increased defense
costs with increased taxes. But l
don't think we should pass on to
future generations a dollar of in
debtedness that we possibly can
take care of ourselves"

"a. An Athens broadcast heard in
Bulgaria limited at new war dangers
in the Balkans when it reported
that italian troops had attempted
to go through Jugoslavia to attack
the Greeks in the rear.
Turkey, taking preliminary mill
tary precautions, was said to be-
liave that Hitler was encouraging
the BulgarianS to attack Greece
an attack that might draw Turkey
into the Balkan war in defense OF
the Athens government. British and
Turkish cooperation was said to
continue and there still was no def
mite indication OF the extent to
which Russia would cooperate with
the German push TO the southeast.
The Mediterranean campaign con-
taTplated by the Axis powers pre-
sumab!y would be designed to as
s st the Italian war against Greece,
which reported further gains on
the Albanian front.
On the Koritza front, the Greeks
reported that they virtually had en-
circled the italian base but the
Fascist army, supported by power
full aviation units, was fighting des-
peratelT to hold the town. Eleven
Italian airplanes were reported shot
down.
Greek troops which recaptureo
the Greek town of Lonitza were
said to have advanced 10 miles anG
struck into Albania on the central
front, although messages to the
Jugoslav frontier said the Italians
were fighting strongly on that sec
tor and had thrown back a Greek
cavalry charge at Perati. ~
The SAM messages said that the
italian troops Oh the west coast
of Greece, near the bay of Saiada,
had been driven back by the Greeks
toward the village of Malcani, neal
Konispolis, and that Greek artillery
near Filiates was bombarding the
retiring Fascists.
The Italian high command re-
ported that the Greek attacks gen.
orally had been repulsed in the
last "a hours, indicating that the
reorganized Fascist forces were stab
ilizing their main fronts in the

BY ARTHUR F. DEGREVE

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 20. tUP)-
Sol A Rosenblatt, general counsel
of the Democratic national COM
mittee, told the American Fedora
ton of Labor convention today that
President Roosevelt's reelection was
proof that democracy again has
justified itself in a world emergen-
c..
In a speech sharply critical of
the attitude of the American press
toward Mr.. Roosevelts presidential
candidacy in 1896 and 1910, Rosen-
blatt said that the third term tri-
umph was notice to the largely en-
slaved world that freedom still
reigns on this side of the ocean.
1T is vote of confidence in a
great president who has steered
the ship of state with unsurpassed
courage, with superb judgment and
with love in his heart for the COM
mon man, and our call to consecra-
tion for the great tasks ahead" he
said.
Nearly half of Rosenblatt's talk
was devoted TO constitutional liber-
ty of the freedom of the press,
speech and assembly. He said that
those who stand upon these prin-
ciples must accept the responsible
ties that go with the rights.
II am convinced that the best
guaranty of a free press lies in
the public discussion and criticism
OF the manner and method with
which the press has been carrying
out its vast responsibilities TO the
public" he said.
IF the press is TO remain an in
