there was no systematic auditing Of
records at the branch Office.
The board, in seeking to place re-
sponsibility for such conditions and
for the shortage which resulted from
them found that the situation
was due to outmoded Office methods,
an overworked staff, improper su-
pervision by the central Office and in
adequate auditing procedure. Criti-
cism was directed specifically at the
collector of taxes for failing to main
tain closer supervision over this
detached and isolated collection
agency" and at the absence of any
provision for auditing of funds re-
tanned at the branch Office for future
deposit with the collector. A drastic
reorganization and modernization Of
the agency was recommended Since
it is indicated that Collector of Taxes
Chatham NJ Towers is due to retire
by reason of age, the necessary over
haul may await appointment of his
successor. Certainly the reforms rec
commended by the Board of Inquiry
should be instituted with a minimum
of delay.

Fifth Down

Easily the most outstanding event
of last week in the sporting world
was the famous fifth down in the
Cornell-Dartmouth game. Cornell,
trailing, to 0, with only few sec
onds to play, really lost the ball on
downs, but was enormously given
another chance, almost at the Dart
mouth goal line, and utilized it to
pass for a tentative victory. The
tangle has been Strengthened out, as
we'll as it ever can be, by Cornells
commendable refusal to accept vic
tory on such terms and insistence
that the honors go to Dartmouth.
This shows that the millennium IS
at least a trile closer than it used
to be. The fifth down may be COM
pared with another famous fifth of
American history-the fifth ace in a
poker deck. Mr.. Hoyle, the official
referee in the West when it was wild
instead of plowed under, was dead set
against its use, in contrast to large
number of his overenthuSiastic diSci-
pies who used it with fatal results.
Due to a scarcity of law west of the
Pecos, it was not always possible to
locate Referee Hoyle at those tense
moments when a fifth ace carelessly
fell out of a sleeve or a boot top. In
stead, it was customary for the de-
fense to settle the argument rapidly
and permanently by use of the con-
densed but powerful works of Messrs.
Colt, Smith g. Wesson and other au-
thorities on How Not to Lose at
Poker"

the axis was an undisguised effort
to frighten this country out OF aiding
Britain so the overwhelming span
of the aggreSsor bloc is intended,
with other things, to show that
the British plight is beyond rescue
and that America is backing lost
cause. Won Ribbentrop describes the
expanded alliance as "a challenge to
all war meters and any power which
favors extension of the war"
Far from evidencing the axis
strength, it is possible to discern in
it's quest for more allies a confession
of weakness-of inability to establish
mastery of the world without addi-
tional support The Fuehrer and II
Duce are not comporting themselves

Tax Office Overhaul

Astounding and altogether deplor-
able are the revelations regarding
conditions which seem to have exist
ed over a long period of time in the
Traffic Department branch of the
District tax collectors office. Dis
covery recently of shortage of ap-
proximately $4,000 in tax receipts at
the branch office was followed by
suspension of a cashier and an as
siStant and the launching of an in
vestigation by special Board of In
quiry appointed by the Commits
sioners, The investigators, it is said,
found that antiquated and grossly
inefficient methods of handling the
Traffic Department collections have
prevailed. For example, cash receipts
at times were kept in a shoe box,
thousands of dollars were permitted
to accumulate over a period of days
without deposit being made at the
central office, although facilities for
safekeeping of funds in the branch
office were inadequate; receipts
sometimes were deposited without
regard to chronological order. and

History Repeats Self
On Preparedness Need.
To the Editor O. The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
Almost 25 years ago, on December 4,
1915, Thomas Nelson Page, the Amer
lean Ambassador in Italy sent a COM
munication to Secretary of State Lansing
in which he said, in part:
Il observe that I have left out one
matter which I meant to speak Of 1t
relates to the Presidents sound policy
of preparedness. I have it borne in on
me more and more all of the time that
We not only are not in Mr.. B s idylIic
condition of country at peace without
an enemy in the world. but in fact,
have not friend in the world-unless
possibly it be Switzerland And fur
ther, that when this war is over, we are
going TO find it out promptly. '''
80 - Germany unQuestionably, ac-
cording to all that I hear, and hear a
good deal-though it comes mainly in
fragments-is bitterly hostile to us and
intends, when this war is over, to make
us answer for what she terms our un-
neutrality and aid to England.
They talk openly of making America
pay their expenses of war because of
Americas furnishing England with the
means TO prolong the struggle-at least
openly enough for it to come to my ears
from sundry directions. Whether it
shall be Immediately after the war, or
whether some time shall elapse before
she finds it convenient to attack us
it is coming as certainly as she remains
intact herself, and unless I am mistaken
it will come very soon after she gets the
Allied powers of her hands. They envy
our condition and believe sincerely that
We shall not be able to put up any fight
against then-so I say: Evviva Mr Will
sons policy of preparedness" (The
Lansing Papers, VOL l, p. 1927
Similar threats, open and yelled, have
emanated from axis sources in recent
months But this time the danger to us
and our way of life is more grave than it
was in World War I. Then number
of nations kept Germany and the gov
ernments associated with her at bay.
Today only the heroic resistance of the
English people and the strength of the
British Navy stand in the way of Hit
lerian ambition of complete world
domination and Nazi vengeance upon us
for our present aid to England. 1t is
questionable how long the British peo-
pie will be able to keep up their resist
ance without rapidly increasing mate
rial assistance from us. Therefore, to
keep the menace of Hitlerism away from
our shores, our help to Great Britain
must be expanded. This can be accom-
plished only through the total mobiliza-
ton of our economic, financial and
human resources, and not merely half
hearted preparedness. In an era of total
war half measures are dangerous; they
spell national suicide.

Soma of the Harvest

This is the reaper's hour, clipped and
brief,
Swift as the falling leaf,
This is the time OF frost,
When each late-blooming rose knows
Pentecost
Of sunlit moment, when on chill aid
tossed
Her perfume drugs the heart
Wherein lie mist and shadow-and the
dew, apart.
This is the gallant season, golden, rife
With all of death-and life.
Garnered its jeweled store:
The yellow corn, beading the granary
floor;
Pumpkin and apple; let the wild grape
pour
Her amethyst to song
Bird notes grown quiet, and the sVirlng
winter long!
Oh in this harvest hour, offer thanks
For bounty that outranks,
Year upon fruited year,
The squalor and the violence we fear:
All war and pestilence and prospects
drear.
AND let the heart be glad,
Grateful for bread, for crimsoned bough,
for sunlight had.

Deferred Draft of Ex-Convicts
Protested as Unfair.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The Star says that the War Depart
ment has instructed the draft boards to
defer all selectees who have been con-
victed of a felony, placed on probation
or paroled.
wouldn't it be better to say that these
men, who have made a mistake and in
many cases have paid for it by serving
their sentences and continuing to keep
their record clean years after release,
are being blacklisted instead of deferred?
Is the Army so pure and unsullied
that it wishes to bar a man who has
made a mistake and is just as loyal an
American as any one else? Are they to
be branded as towards as we'll as ex-
convicts?
This seems very silly thing to do and
1t reflects poor judgment on the Army's
part. DISGUSTED.

THIS.A AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. TrdceUell.

it is one Of these standofY dances They
like to be real close. The girls like the
rumba better.
The older person who simply likes mu-
sic, and who, as dancer, is content to
struggle through the fox trot and the
waltz, and call 1t night, will discover
that the rumba is more of a musical
composition than a dance tune.
This will not take away It's primary
fascination, however, that Of rhythm.
Not only are the general run of rumba
tunes good tunes, much, better than the
average fox trot, but the array of funda-
mental rhythm instruments, and espe-
cially the way they are used, give the
rumba fascination which will catch
any one who listens honestly.
It is too bad that honest listening Is
not regarded as a basic musical in
gredient. A great many persons who
fancy themselves as musicians and mu-
sical appreciators nevertheless are as
hidebound as any drum. They have de-
cided what they like, and not even for
their own gain will they permit any one
else TO direct their attention TO some
thing good. They have set Themselves
up as music lovers" and once and for
all are afraid that some one else will
think they know very little if they permit
themselves TO like something which they
imagine the other will froWn upon.
In this way one cuts ones self off
from the sources Of all music, the great
dance rhythms which, after all form
such great part Of all music, including
the classic. Both Beethoven and Brahms
drew freely from the folk music Of their
own country, as Sibelius from that of
Finland.
The point is that it does not require
a master to make dance music good
1t is good in its original form, simply
as dance music.
The dance is a fundamental express
sion of something happy and good in
humanity.
A dancing nation will not indulge in
crime, at least by preference. 1t would
much rather dance
Dance music is so natural that any
person who misses it in youth Will have
lifelong desire to dance although 1t
may never be his fate to do so
May we point out that al such persons.
no matter. their age. will be better of
and happier, if they will unbend at least
TO the point of listening to good dance
music
We must add that OF all the dance
forms, none is so likely TO appeal to this
type of listener as the rumba. provided
he will give his heart and soul the chance
TO hear it.
For breakfast appetizer-and there
is no better time OF the day than the
morning for music-the rumba just
fills the bill Of fare

Bombers for Britain

The release to Great Britain OF
forty-six long-range American bomb
ing planes should give the sorely
beset British people something for
which to be thankful today. The big
four-engined bombers - tWenty-SiX
Consolidated B-24S and twenty Boe-
ing flying fortresses" of the SIT
type-are said to be without a peer
in their special class and are capable
of flying, fully loaded, from England
to any part of Germany and return.
The Royal Air Force has been in dire
need of big bombers for raiding
enemy aircraft factories, munitions
plants, railroads and other military
obiectiveS far distant on the con-
tinent. If more headway can be
made in the Gripping of Germany's
facilities for producing the machinery
of war, Britains chances of survival
will be greatly enhanced.
But this latest laid to Britain" deal
is not just a manifestation Of Amer
ica's heartfelt sympathy for the
British people in their hour of grim
travail, An important consideration
was the stark realization on the part
of the American Government that
our own security is closely tied to
Brltain's chances of survival. If
these heavy bombers should help to
tip the balance in Britains favor,
the net result will be an investment
in added security for the Western
Hemisphere. The deal was not a
sided one for another reason. In
return for the priority granted the
British on delivery of the bomberS,
Britain has agreed to release to the
War Department enough engines to
equip forty-one flying fortresses"
already scheduled for delivery to the
Army. These engines were ordered
by the British long before our Army
decided to place its orders for similar
power plants under the air expansion
program. General George C. Mar
shall, chief of staff, points out that
this Government will not suffer any
financial loss through the arrange
ment. With the planes will 60 Sperry
bombsights. For reasons which they
deem adequate, officials of this Gov
ernment are withholding the sup
posedly superior Norden bombSight.
If the necessity Of strengthening the
British bombing arm is as great as
the release of the big bombers indi-
Gates, however, it seems illogical for
us to equip the planes with anything
less than the best bombsight we
possess.
General Marshall also says that
by letting the British have this group
Of bombers the War Department will
be able to observe for the first time
how our flying fortresses" stand up
under the stress of actual combat.
Such tests should prove of great value
in developing this type of warplane
to its fullest efficiency. The delay
Of three months which the British
transaction will cause in delivery of
an equivalent number of bombers to
the Army will afford an opportunity
in which to make Improvements in
design, II deemed necessary on the
basis of reports from American mill
tary observers stationed in Britain.
