FAILS T0OvERRIDE
 FIRST VETO
vote 10 10 $ on Passing Birth Certificate Bill
 Notwithstanding

Gov. Ernest Gruening's first veto stood up in the House today when those favoring passage of Rep. Har- vey J. Smiths bill for the issuance of delayed birth certificates failed to muster the required two-t thirds vote to override.
 The vote on the question: Shall the bill pass notwithstanding the veto?" was ten to six. A vote of 12 to four would have been re- quired to override.
 The Governors veto message said the bill was disapproved because it was so loosely drawn it would lead to more undesirable conditions than it would remedy.

WASHINGTON-With the world spotlight focused upon the Balkans, the all-important situation in Italy has almost escaped public attention.
 Real fact is that Italy has been taken over by Germany, and that Mussclini is virtually prisoner of his Axis partner.
 Uncensored diplomatic dispatches report that the Italian people are dazed, helpless, can hardly realize what has happened. In the South they are apathetic. But in the north around. Turin and the industrial centers, workers have sabotaged machinery, stalled production and great numbers have been thrown into jail. The jails are crowded, but sabotage continues.
 Italian. street crowds salute and cheer when black -shirted troops pass, then curse under their breath afterward.
 There is growing rift between the Black Shirts and the regular army, formerly headed by Marshal Bad- oglio, but now deposed and residing with Grown Prince Humbert, who al- so has the support of the army. The regular army never did favor the invasion of Greece.
 In order to understand the com- plete collapse of Italian morale, it is necessary to remember that Italy has been fighting, off and on. for about five years. Her campaign against Ethiopia began in 1885. Next year came the civil war in Spain, lasting until 1888. Then in 1889 came the present war.
 Meanwhile the Italian people have finally realized that they have se- cured nothing from this war-not even Tunisia, which the French were on the verge of giving them.
 Nor has Italy received any of the neighboring French provinces de- manded with so much noise and thunder by Mussolini. In other words, five years Qf fighting with

WASHINGTON, March l5.-For all of us who have been sweating over Federal income tax returns (and there are more of us this year than ever before), here is some consolation from the men who make the laws.
 It happened in the House of Representative the other day when the discussion had turned to taxes and appropriations, and what might be needed in the over- all 1941-42 fiscal year budget in way of revenues. It was Rep. Jere Cooper, the one-time Dyersburg, Tenn, city attorney, who paved the way when he said:
 The gentleman from Pennsyl- vania (Rep. Robert F. Rich) has made out his income tax, and I am sure he has had the same ex- perience I have had He will find that the Revenue Act of ls40 has

INCOME TAX BILL GIVEN
 HOUSE NOD
Ways and Means Retom- mends Big Bill Pass
 with Amendments

Passage of Territorial net in- come tax is recommended by the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives which to- day reported out the bill drawn by Prof. Alfred Harsch with a seven- to-one 1do pass with amendments" recommendation.
 The bill is substantially that killed in the Senate week ago by vote of five to three.
 No amendments were submitted with the Committee report. Only member of the eight-man Comit- tee not concurring in the do pass with amendment" report was Rep. Harvey J. Smith of Anchorage.
 Women Would Pay
 The Taxation Committee of the Senate brought out another tax measure with do pass recom- mendation today It would extend the Territorial school tax to all working women, would raise the up- per age limit for taxable persons to from 50 to 80 years and would increase the tax to $7.50. Two mem- bers of the Cimmittee. Senators Nor- man R. Walker and o. D. Cochran. did not concur in the report. The bill is by Senator Hjalmar Nordale. of Fairbanks.

do you expect the people of this country to make theirs out?"
 So, you see, if your income tax return was harder than Willies homework in arithmetic, and you finally filed with your fingers crossed, and are only just now emerging from the mental fog caused by trying to juggle 50 many figures, don't take it too hard. There are lot of the gen. tlemen who made the income tax law who don't understand it any better than you do.
 Rep. Wesley E. Disney of Okla homa explained that all those complexities are just the govern ment's way of trying to be fair. If you want simple tax bill, he said, you could get one merely by levying on gross income. Then there would be no exemptions and no consideration of individual prob- lems. The reason for all those in- come tax twists and turns is Con- gress attempt to see that the man who has five kids and has to spend $500 year to make $3,000, doesn't get hit as hard as the bachelor who gets his $3,000 across the board and doesn't have to spend a nickel to make it.
 Congressman in both Houses know that they want to pass a fair and equitable law. Chose

Mass Evacuation
OF British From
Japan Indicated
Ship Will Be Sent to
Remove All Nationals
Desiring to Leove
BY the Associated Press.


TOXIC, Aug. 30.-A mass evacua-
ton of British subjects from the
japanese Empire was indicated to-
day in British Embassy announce
ment that it had arranged for a
ship to come to Japan to remove all
British nationals desiring to leave.
AS the japanese government
studied closely its delicate relations
with both Great Britain and the
United States as result of the Rus
sian-German War, the British En-
bassy issued the following state
ment:
In view of freezing regulations
a number of British subjects have
declared their intention of leaving
Japan at the first opportunity. To
facilitate their departure the Brit
ish government will shortly send a
ship to Japan.
British subjects who wish to
avail themselves of this opportunity
are being requested TO get in touch
with the nearest British consular
officer"
There are about 1000 Britons Iv-
ing throughout the empire.
Consuls to Notify Nationals.
The freezing of British and Amer
lean funds in Japan followed SIM
liar tying up of japanese assets in
the United States and the British
Empire.
Throughout all Japan each British
subject was to receive from his con-
sui letter following the lines of the
Embassy statement. The British are
dlscreetly silent on details concern
ing the type of ship to come and the
time OF its arrival. Nothing was said
about the route here or where the
vessel would go afterward.
The conSulateS sending out the
notices are scattered throughout the
Japanese Empire and in Manchukuo
as we'll.
The British decision was taken
following conferences between Brit
