PROPOSED INCOME TAX
MEANS BIG INCREASE

Washington. - The American
wage Garner would pay approx
mately twice as much in income
taxes next year under a broad
tax plan tentatively approved by
the house ways and means COM
mittee.
The plan also provides for
sharply increased excess profits
charges and special excess pro-
fits levy Of 10 per cent to reach
profits on war contracts.
These proposed boosts are cal
culated to yield $2,48O,9OO,OOO.
The administration proposes to
raise total of $3,5OO,OOO,OOO un-
der the national defense revenue
program. The difference between
the two figures would come from
increases in excise taxes and from
estate and gift taxes.

Adolf Hitler, after assailing So
Wet Russia bitterly in a procla-
nation read to the world by ra-
dio at dawn Sunday, ordered the
nazi armies to march into the So
Wet.
The German fuehrer declared
he had had enough of Russian
violations of the German frontiers
and had commended the fate of
the reich to the armies which
have been all-victorious since
September, 1899.
Propaganda Minister Paul JOS
eph Goebbels read the proclama-
ton and then Foreign Minister
Joachim Won Ribbentrop came on
the air to read out a formal dec
laration of war against the nation
with which Germany linked her
self in a 1O-year non-aggression
pact less than two years ago.
Hitler, in his proclamation, said
it had been difficult for him to
send an ambassador to Moscow in
1899 after the pact was signed
and that it had been as hard to
relinquish the Baltic states to the
soviet in 1910.
He accused the Russians of
sending planes across the common

ment had arrived at last when
Germany could no longer over
look these developments.

Dear Miss Grey: I read your

true. While the subject 10 still

Tor appointment. does she owe her

Dear Clara: A married wom-
IN. when making an appoint
ment should give her name n
Mrs. Fred Brown. A woman
who is unayoidably detained and
hease late for her appointment,
owes her operator an apology.
While we are on the subject of

might say that many persons

BY EMILY POST

Unhappily, must say that ques-
tions about strained step-relation-
ships are not unusual. One on my
desk this morning describes the
problem OF prospective bride
who does not live with her mother
because she and her stepfather do
not get on.
Her letter explains further:
Since mothers marriage several
years ago | have been living in
town and working. When l can. !
spend my spare time with an aunt
a sister of my deceased father.
This aunt wants To give a din
ner just for nearest relatives, at
which my engagement is to be
announced. I don't really want my
stepfather to come. and | doubt
very much if he would come even
II did. But what about my
mother? Surely she doesn't have
to stay away because he probably
will?"
The answer to this. il seems to
me. has been answered by your
self. You say you doubt If he
would come II this is true. then
why not at least ask your mother
If he would like to come? II she
can feel that you have tentatively
at least included him it may make
her happier and also make it easier
for her TO come TO the party and
leave him at home.

II she thanks you for asking
him. and tells you that, for what
ever reason she chooses to give.
he won't be able to accept. then
everything will be perfect as it is.
But If she saws he will come. then
you may perhaps have to tell her
she undoubtedly already knows
that you don't think his coming
will be a happy thing for either
him or you. and that you hope
she will be willing to come alone.
Opening the Front Door
Dear Mrs. Post: When open
ing a front door to someone who
has rung. which of us is expected
to speak first?
Answer: When maid or a
butler opens the door, a stranger
announces his errand or asks if the
person he Tor shel has come to
see is at home. When a member
OF the family opens the door to a
friend she probably greets the
visitor first. but there is scarcely
a rule as TO which most quickly
speaks.

Rollins returned to his cabin.
Little groups Of officers were gath

speed in which their men had
reached the various station. The
consensus of opinion was that the
o. c. troops had decided to spring
an alarm on the ship as a test
before reaching submarine zone
and TO make 1t realistic had not
even tipped off the officers.
There was no talk about rifle
shots. Rollins didn't stop to chat

CHAPTER VII
BY A. w. O'BRIEN

Automatically. Lieutenant Roll
Inns shifted mental gears as the
emergency gong sounded Army
discipline went to work. He had
an official post TO assume at Life
boat Station IS, and everything
else became secondary. Regret
fully he showed the revolver back
into his pocket, but the thought
flashed through his mind that it
didn't matter much because who
ever had flashed the light would
be swallowed up in the men flood
ing the decks.
Hurriedly he slipped into his
trousers. donned a balaclava. slung
on his shoulder bag and gas mask,
and dashed into the corridor. Ex-
cept for a putting sentry, he was
alone; but within a few seconds
other officers were pouring from
their cabins. and Rollins marveled
at the general GOODNESS. One would
think that a lifeboat alarm in the
dead of night aboard v troopship
riding angry waves was an every
day occurrence in the lives of these
men.
AT the exits. military police
were already stationed, repeating
the same warning:
Show no light as you step on
deck"
Each man whipped the heavy
curtain behind him before he
opened the door.
Outside it was pitch black. and
cold spray filled the night. Murky
figures bumped one another as
they passed. Rollins walked quick
ly with both hands outstretched
to prevent himself from crashing
headlong into others before he
reached Lfebost Station IS.
His sergeant was only seconds
behind and breathing heavily from
the run upstairs with heavy equip
ment.
What's up, SIR" he gasped. Il
didn't feel any explosion and the
ships whistle isn't blowing the
regulation blasts"
Rollins had been thinking along
the same lines. Perhaps it's only
a drill. Sergeant. Don't have the
men climb into the boat yet. It's a
bit dangerous with the ship heav-
ing around and the plsnking wet.
Wait until there is further cause
for alarm"
Very well. Sir"
Within two minutes more. the
full complement OF men for Life
boat Station Is was on hand and
standing in position. ready TO hop
into the boat on order. Members
Of the ships crew stood by the
lowering apparatus.
After the first wave of excite
ment. the men standing in the

because il might alarm the other

Before Rollins had a chance 20
ask him what IL was all about. the
sdjutant had disappeared in the
direction OF the next station.
He turned TO the men and
shrugged in the darkness. You
heard him. my hsrdies-on your
