Chinese Can Pay Taxes In Kind

CHUNGKING, Sept.-The gov ernment dacreed collection of taxes in kind, effective tomorrow to relieve farmers of Free China from the necessity of raising tax es in cash.
 The rice crop is heavy, partic- ularly in Szechwan Province, which is known as "China's store house." Rec prices are dropping, though government control mea sures, after threatened short age had forced them to skyrock- ct.
 The Food Ministry will buy no mere rice after October. a move 10 let prices seek the normal level set by supply and demand.
 The North China rice crop was estimated at 70.051,0J0 bushels, an increase of 2,480,000 bushels over 1940.

 Wisconsin-born Dr. John Earl Barker, now director general of the highway, says that every month since the road was reopen ed since last October has seen an increase in daily tonnage and III April traffic was three times that of last November.
 This is encouraging, especially in view of the heroic fight that the Chinese are waging for the survival of their nation. For near ly four years they have traded space for time, yielding ground to the bettef-armed ana Dette4 equipped Japanese, always in the hope that the passage of months would bring them the munitions and equipment that they need.
 Chinese soldiers have opposed the Japanese without the artil- lery, tanks and planes that then enemy possesses. They have fought a magnificent fight. It still is vital they receive ade- uuate supplies and Britain and the United States see to it that the traffic on the Burma road in- creaSeS.

RED CROSS TO ERECT
 MANY ARMY BUILDINGS

WASHINGTON, D. C. - The War Department announced Its approval of plans by the Amerl- can Red Cross to construct office and headquarters buildings on 62 Army posts. All costs of construc ton and appurtenant utilities, as well as operation and mainten- ance, will be paid by the Red Gross. The construction is expect ed 10 cost about $1,250,000.
 The buildings will conform, generally speaking, to local types of architecture: some to be of wood, along Colonial lines, some in Mission style, others Of brick construction. Plans provide for several sizes of buildings to con ofrm with the dimensions of available bui dings sites. Army officers in the various corps areas will act Il an advisory capacity in designating appropriate loca- tions. Zone constructing quarter masters and district engineers are to furnish technical advice in coordinating these buildings with other camp construction.
 The structures are designed to contain offices in one wing, liv- ing quarters for Red Cross per sonnel in an opposite wing, and lecture rooms and reception rooms in the center.

Life Is War In .Chunggking g Capital Of Free China

CHUNGKING, Sept. (A1 - Un- certainty is one of the principal ingredients of life in Chungking today-uncertainty over the pros poets of having your home smith ereened in the next air raid.
 The Chinese accept the Japan csc attacks as an inconvenience to which life has to be readjust- ed, and do their best to minimize dislocation.
 Life is compounded principal ly of discomfort, inconvenience and hardship. and only the sense of grim purpose to defeat the en- emy, amounting in some cases to kind of eXaltation, makes many Chinese accept as incon- sequential the conditions which would try the stoutest hearts.
 Torrid, enervating heat from which rain offers only occasional and all too brief respite, is one of the many enemies of physical comfort.
 Temperature indoors in the crude makeshift structures that form so many Chungking homes and offices is nowadays about 100 degrees. Nights are sultry and sound sleep is luxury often de- nied.
 Chungking has the unhappy reputation of being the worlds most uncomfortable capital - a reputation which no one living here challenges.
 Stomach Ailments Prevalent ' Few persons are lucky enough to stay here any length of time without contracting one form of stomach trouble Or another - a complaint from which the doc tors estimate 90 percent of the foreign community suffers. The Yangtze is a pretty river but not 90 attractive when served as drinking water in bolt es where a sediment of yellow mud has settled. Ice is expensive and is scarce.
 Chungking probably is the most expensive city in China. Retail prices have risen twenty five-fold since the war began Rice, which used to cost seven or eight cents a pound, now sells at two dollars.
 (Roughiy, one Chinese dollar equals five cents in American moneyD
 A pack of 20 American cigar cites cost 18 dollars today, con- pared to IA a month ago. The supply of imported liquor is steadily being exhausted. At the Chungking club, once the home of heavy drinking, liquor is dol ed out in small quantities. Few RefrigeratOrs In all Chungking there are
The Nome nugget., 1941-09-29

barely dozen electric refriger- ators. The Chialing House, the leading hotel, where most Am erican visitors stay, has one but it has been out of commission for two months. Coffee is lux ury, as are milk, butter and a hundred and one other things.
 The Chialing House has no running water except when it rains. There are only a few res taurants where foreign chow" is offered and where it is, ones dream of a juicy steak is likely to turn into sad reality of buff falo meat.
 There is no rationing in Chung king and restaurants are able to serve tasty and lavish Chinese meals meals which many for eigners would find appetizing but for the Chinese indifference to flies. There are occasional rice shortages in which the poorer classes are principal sufferers.
 Telephone service works only occasionally because repairmen are unable to keep up with the destruction of Japanese bombers.
 Social life is affected by the discomforts of travel and the dis tances, yet many a foreigner will go a long way if he has a friend at whose home he may have a proper bath. A new form ot in- vitation whose propriety is nev- CT questioned is Would you like to have a bath?"
 Hospital Conditions Appalling
 Air raids always bring their misery, but to none more than to patients in hospitals whose re moval to dugouts is sore trial. Most Chungking hospitals have been destroyed and in the few still standing conditions are ap- palling. Prices of patent rem edies known the world over reach their zenith here.
 The marvel re-enacted every time the raiders come is the dis appearance of the inhabitants and much of the capitals move ab property into dugouts. So efficient is the system of warn ings that Japanese raiders never have visited the city unheralded.
 There are discomforts here, it is true, but Chungking is in a business to which everything else is subordinated the busi- ness of keeping Chiang Kai- i Shek's war machine running. I n TN T

HYDE PARK. N. Y, Aug. 30
Warning that dangers that have
convulsed the world ARE not over

hope here this afternoon that one
year from today America will still
be at peace. He added that the
dangers may even be more serious

gust and the first of September,

"Yet it is not all in our keeping,
not all our own decision" he added
gravely in an extemporaneous ad-
dress before several hundred of MS
Dutchess County neighbors at the
annual rally of the Roosevelt Home
Club.
Peaceful Gathering"
He also asserted. however, that
we have great deal to be thank
ful for, including the fact that this
Is still a peaceful gathering, and
think all of us pray that next year
we'll still be able to say that"
That this hope and this decision
which depend not entirely upon our
own will but presumably upon the
strength and determination of
others now fighting the Axis will
demand great effort was implied

that America will save itself bv
helping greatly to defeat Hitlerism.
They pray for this because it seems
to them that that is the only way
in which peoples everywhere can
attain peace and live in peace"
Invoked to Clean Up Troubles,
Speaking for himself then, the
President said:
Il believe this is a thought we all
have. We want to keep America so
that in all the years to come. long
after We are gone, somebody in the
town and perhaps on this very lawn
will be able to hold a party Just like
this one today-juSt as We hope to
come back here in peace next year"
Before he took the speakers plat
form under the shade of a half
dozen great maple trees at the home
of Moses Smith, his tenant farmer.
the President had heard an old
friend, Judge John E Mack of
Poughkeepsie, invoke him to the fol-

big enough to enforce order. Finish

HERSHEY Pa, Aug. 30.-Another
par busting SO today gave Ben
Hogan, Hershey professional,
total of 205 for 54 holes and wide
lead for the $1,000 Hershey open
golf championship.
Hogan ran into trouble in traps
on several holes and hit a clump
of trees once. but on the green's his
putting touch was there. He went
out in even par, 36, and got down
four brides on the back nine, which
he now has scored in IA under par
for the three rounds.
Hogan'S burst of brilliant scoring
this week made the Hershey tour
nament's record of 280 for 72 holes
shaky. All he needs to break it is
a "A, one over par, tomorrow.
Lloyd Mangrum. the thin man
from California, clung closely to
Hogan with a 10 for 208. He needed
80 strokes going out, but steamed
home in 80, equaling the course rec
ord for the back nine.
Shute Gets Hole in One.
Denny Shute started his day with
visit to an eye doctor and treat
ment for cunjunctivitis, and then
promptly demonstrated that it
didn't bother him a lot by shooting
10, which included a hole~in-one,
for a total of 211. Shute hit an iron
on the 189-yard 14th which landed
10 feet from the cup and rolled in.
Jack Grout, of Pittston, Pa, who
had the best round of the tourna-

today for 212.
