Hitler Youth
Told to Rule

The trend Of education was re
viewed by DR.. E. r. Isbell for mem
hers and guests Of the Rotary Club
at the weekly meeting Monday
From early days. when education
of the people Of a nation was
looked upon with d%isfavor, to the
present idealogy Of Hitler and his
youth movement. the steps of ad-
vancement were briefly sketched
with quotations from educational
and political leaders, showing senti
ment for and against literary ad-
vancement.
Adopting the theory that peo-
pie kept in ignorance were most
easily kept in subjugation, the men
in power succeeded for many years
in preventing the development of
general teaching for the masses.
Dr.. Isbell pointed out. But once
started. the universal desire for
learning has encouraged a yaria-
ton Of ideals from the three RS to
philosophy and social science.
Touching briefly upon the sitsa-
tion in Germany, DR.. lsbell cited
the schools Of work. military train
ing and culture which Hitler es-
tablished because Of the difficulty
he found in bringing regular teach
ers TO stress the advantages OF
Hitlerism. The new Hitler course
covers a period Of about 10 years
and includes in the finishing
course. along with arts and sci
ences. the technique Of airplane
mechanics and. flying. II teaches
that the Nordics are superior. that

Bill Will
be Approved

6Rv international News Servirel
Washington. Sept. l6-lNS-The,
House met today TO give formal
approval 10 a new revenue bill
which Will hoist taxes for virtually
every person In the country and
bring S3,553, 400, 900 annually into
the Federal Treasury.
The Senate is expected to follow
suit tomorrow and thus after five
months OF legislative effort. send
the record tax bill to the White
House.
Speedy passage OF the measure
was assured after conferees ironed
out differences between the House
and Senate versions of the bill and
signed a unanimous report to the
two chambers.
Under parliamentary rules there
is no such thing as an amendment
TO a conference report. so Cou-
gress must vote it either up or
down-and In this case there will
be little opposition.
Major provisions OF the bill. as
agreed on by the conferees. are:
Lowering OF income tai exemp-
lions so that married couples earn
ing $500 and single persons with
incomes as low as $3.50 a year. will
be compelled TO pay direct taxes.
Existing exemptions are $1,000 and
$500. and the change will require
100000 new persons to file tax re-
turns.
Sharp increases In existing in
come tax rates, especially in the
lower and middle brackets where
some OF the levies will be doubled
or even trippled.
Imposition Of many new excise
or so-called hidden taxes, which
are in effect a federal sales tax or
certain commodities or services.

Nazi legions have advanced.
But it called the advance vic
