The New
and the Finest Dodge

EVERY MAN OR WOMAN who buys one
. of these new Dodges will get for his
money the very finest car that Dodge
has ever turned out. He will get it, of
course, from a smaller total production,
because the Government of the United
States has first call upon Dodge factories
and men. But, we repeat, every civilian
buyer of Dodge motorcars will receive
for his investment all of the traditional
Dodge quality at higher levels of endur-
ance, performance and economy than
Dodge has ever supplied them before.

AII-FIuid Drive

He will get, literally, the climax value
of twenty-seven years of fine car engi-
neering. He will get the phenomenal
success of Dodge All-Fluid Drive. He
will get the new Power Flow Engine,
designed and adapted as the more power
full complement to the fluid smoothness
of Dodge All-Fluid Drive. He will get
a motorcar of lifetime lasting qualities,
in which riding and driving have
become almost the same thing except
that the driver gets the added JOY of
command.

Little Fellow
 Favored In Army New Contracts

WASHINGTON - The Arny's newly intensified policy of bring ing more facilities into defense manufacturing and giving the little fellow" a chance at de- fense contracts is expected to re- suit in substantial savings for the government, the War Depart ment announced. When bids were recently opened by the quarter master general for 1.250,000 woolen coats. G1 firms submitted bids. Upon suggestion of OPM's Defense Contract Service, it was decided that 50,000 garments should be the maximum order awarded to any one firm.
 This quota arrangement insur- es spreading the work among at least 25 manufacturers instead of single low bidder. The increas ed competition, as indicated by the large number of bids submit ted. has resulted in prices 10 per cent lower than the cost of the same garments a few months ago.

AP FEATURE SERVICE

BANGKOK, Thailand - Re ports from reliable sources here agree that the Thails (Siamese) are prepared to fight and will give a good account of themselv- es, if attacked.
 Thailand is caught between two world powers pushing in op- posite directions. On the 1ndo- China border is a powerful Jap anese army. On two other bor- ders. in Burma and Malaya, there are large British forces.
 The Thais have no quarrel with Japan or Britain.
 British Ready
 But Japan's 'southward march particularly since the move which brought Japanese troops into Indo-China, threatens to cut right across Thailand, in a pos sible move toward Malaya and Singapore. It is reported, on the best authority, that Japan has been negotiating with the Bang kok government for bases and the right to pass troops through Thailand.
 Observers believe the British answer 10 this would be prompt and vigorous British troops would get there first. In either case, Thailand would find itself at war.
 However, the highest govern n7ent officials in Bangkok insist their on.y concern is to maintain friendly relations with both sid es. At the same time they admit their position has been complica1 ed by a Irritation of some year standing with the Japanese.
 Ii reached a climax a faw months ago when Japan media ed in the border war between Thailand and French Ind9-China. Thailand got large slices e French territory under these auspices. Now, Japan, is report ed increasing diplomatic pres sure for an agreement with Thai land.

Defense Lag Is Put On
 Big Business

WASHINGTON - Asst tant United States Attorney General Thurman Arnold charged that big business was to blame for the lag in the nations defense production.
 Arnold spoke on the Univer- sity of Chicago Round Table Broadcast from Washington. He said that big business interests were afraid to expand production of basic materials for 10 months because of a fear of glutting the market after the war. Arnold ex- p aimed that these fears were nat ural but claimed that they were uniustified because full produc- ton will provide more goods for a larger portion of Americans.
 The assistant attorney general added that businessmen conceal ed shortages by oVer-estimating sooks and under estimating needs.
 Arnold concluded that he hop ed full production would break the monopoly problem and eX- pand the production of basic mat eria S. He said thst if the econ omy was not dominated by few powerful interests the problem will be solved

The CIO president held that organized labor must fight even harder for its rights because the war might stife civil liberties.

Mrs. Roosevelt's S Income Taxes

Next March, Mrs. Roosevelt will pay her largest income tax Her income is higher, and so is the tax rate
 Principal new item is the $52,O0O from her radio sponsors, the Pan American Coffee Bureau The bureaus seven coffee-produc ing countries have chirped in to pay the First Lady $2.0G0 for each weekly 15-minute broadcast for 26 weeks.
 Actually, she will earn only half of this sum during this cal endar year, the remainder in 1942. The tax on the $26. 1000 earned in 1941 will come to $17330. This is based on the safe assumption that Mrs. Roosevelt's income is already in the $75,000 bracket, and thus the added ra- dio income is taxed at high rate.
 Formerly, the entire revenue from Mrs. Roosevelts radio broadcasts went to charity. The sponsor paid the entire amount direct 10 the Friends Service Committee and Mrs. Roosevelt never saw the check. But Con gresman Ham Fish accused her of evading taxation, and now Mrs. Roosevelt deducts from the income whatever is necessary to meet taxes, and pays the balance to charity.
 The result is-thanks to Ham Fish-that charity's share is far less. and the principal benefic-
 ary is the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

line troops into action at mo- ment's notice, mobilize another 100000 reserves.
 The Thai air force, probably around 250 fighters and bombers, is composed of American, Italian and Japanese ships. Their bomb CTS gave very good account of themselves, eye-witnesses re- port, and were largely instru- mental in dislodging French troops. The Thais never tried nightly bombing but were fair ly efficient in attacking ground positions with machine-gunS.
 Courage to Burn"
 Only a few army units are me but foreign military ex perts believe there is enough of such equipment, in view of the terrain on the Thai frontiers. It is largely jungle and roadless.
 AS for the fighting qualities of the Thai soldier, this is the testi- mony of a French officer:
 They had courage to burn. They came on and on against us, even when we were dropping them in piles in front of our po- sition."

He seemed to be ashamed for what he'd done and asked us what caused the explosion saying he had not fired a torpedo He said he could n't spare us any water but gave us four tins of meat and two bottles of rum"

WASHINGTON, Sept. = The Maritime Commission here yester- day justified most of the increased freight rates put into effect May 20 on commodities moving between Seattle, Tacoma, Port Wells and points in Alaska.
 The increases are averaging four to five per cent, or basically 50 cents per ton. On some commodi- ties they were more, on others less. Where increases exceeded 50 cents, they applied on commodities al- legged to have higher values or higher risk in transportation.
 The commission found the in- creases justified except on clothing, dry goods, dishes glassware, furni- ture, glass, poultry, drugs, cosmetics, electrical appliances and similar articles Increases on these ranged from $1 to ST per ton
 A fair rate return on steamship company valuations should net ex- cede seven an dfive-tenths per cent, the commission said.

WASHINGTON-T big untold story of the governments seizure of the Federal Shipbuilding plant was John L. Lewis's undercover attempt to avert this action, vigorously de- handed by the CIO Marine and Shipbuilding Workers.
 In this stand the union was de- terminedly supported by OPM Asso- ciate Director Hillman, who charged the company with defying the De- fense Mediation Board and insisted on the seizure to enforce the boards decision Lewis did not show his hand directly in his secret opera tions, but worked through a close henchman, Allan Haywood, ClO organizational director.
 Haywood entered the picture suddenly week before the Presi- dent returned from his conference with Churchill and while Hillman was quietly trying to get U. s. Steel, which owns Federal, to ac- cept the Mediation terms. U. S. Steel would not agree because of the maintenance of union mem bership" provision, fearing that if this went into effect in its ship building subsidiary, steel workers also would demand it.
 In the midst of these behind the-scene maneuvers, Haywood got in touch with John Green, Scotch born president of the MSW, and told him there was no chance of the membership maintenance pro- visions being accepted by the cor poration. Green replied that it was the Mediation Boards award and that his union would not give it up.
 Monday night, after Roosevelt re- turned and had conferred with Hillman, Secretary Knox and Me diation Board Chairman Will Davis, the latter showed Green a copy of a letter that, Davis said, Green would receive the next day from the
