MAYOR AND COUNCIL
ARE CALLING MEETING

The Mayor and City Council are
circularizing the city announcing q
meeting in the interest of National
Defense, to be held this (Friday) eve
ming, in the Municipal Building, at
which the public is earnestly invited
to be present, women specially, urged
to attend
Recent developments in war hap
penings are the strongest arguments
for intense interest in this meeting.
The Presidents statement that the
war with Japan will be "long and
hard" is rather ominous, and every
resource be brought into service. No
offering is too small which strength
ems the nations defenses; and no cit
izen should hesitate to enroll under
the flag, for the preservation Of
Americas peaceful liberty.

But that difficulty gave the Catholic Chaplains of the armed forces in the Canal Zone an idea. A retreat was to be made, accord ing to the regulations of the Milf tary Ordinariate and place was sought that could care for seven (now eight) Chaplains and provide two things essential for a retreat, quiet and seclusion. Various places were suggested and finally out of a clear sky came the offer of a little rancho in the interior, just outside of Fl Valle.
 It is about one hundred and ten miles from where I write (Naval Air Station) on the Pacific Side of the Isthmus. It is owned by MT. Luis Hernandez, whose father had represented Panama for over @ de- cade of years at the Court of St. James. Los Bohios is his country home and looks for all the world like e grouping of five ordinary adobe huts until you go inside to find that they are all joined to- gether and grouped around Q love- iy patio.

SENATE FINANCE
 COMMITTEE SORE
Members Disagree Sharp- ly With MOrgenthau Over
 Corp. Excess Profits

Washington, Sept. 26.--(UP)- Members of the senate financC committee disagreed sharply today with Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau's proposal tC limit all corporation profits to sis per cent, but indicated that 1t may result in stiffer excess profits taxes
 Morgenthau told a press confer. ence yesterday that the treasury experts had started drafting a bill to carry out his plan to subjet< all corporation profits over six per cent to 100 per cent taxation. He suggested the limitation before the House banking committe eWednes. day.
 i've been wanting to say for some time that we ought to remove the profit motive in war-eliminate 4 completely" Morgenthau said.
 He said his financial and legal aides had strated work on the pro- posed legislation "so if and when congress wants 1t, we will have it ready in legal form"
 SSAAeAC CoSp &4VWSNC&A Q4 0AAOU Ap~ pear to want the Morgenthau plan, although there was evident dissatis- faction with the excess profits tax provisions of the recently enacted $3,653, ,000, 900 defense revenue bill.
 Tom ConnaIly Kicks
 "r am not satisfied with the pro. visions of the bill recently passed as to excess profits," said Sen. Ton Connally, D., Texasd O. t',c s:nate finance committee. While am not prepared to express agreement with MT. Morgenthau's plan be- cause 1t is still nebulous, I am strongly of the opinion that the provision relating to excess profits ought to be amended and strength ened."
 Both houses rejected treasury de. rnands that the aveTagee arnings method of computing excess profits be eliminated so all corporations would be required [ opay graduated excess profits rates on all profits over eight per cent of their capi. talization. It was rejected despite V PeEsO9!ai appeaI 1OE " py F1eSloent Roosevelt.
 Taft Has His Say
 Senatuor Robert A. Taft, R., Ohio, also 6 member of the finance com mittee, said, Most New Dealers have been inspired for a long time by the theory that profits are wicked and represent Q form of extorticn from the public. Tn most cases they represent the savings in operation which are affected by ability, in. genuity and persistence"
 Sen. Edwin 0. Johnson, D., Colo, was alone in his approval of Mor- genthau's proposal.
 T am strongly in favor of the principle of MT. Morgenthau's pro- posal," he said. T don't know any thing about the details of working 1t out in legislation, but I hope the treasury submits a plan to congress at an early date"
 An administrative tax bill Is sched- uled for consideration by Congress late in October.

This last weekend in camp was a

when that time comes around and
a fellow is in the Army, well he's

Of a large force under conditions
of actual combat; also delegated to
them our regiment consisted of
armored tanks, scout cars, and mot
orized infantry.
AS the enemy" our own regi-
ment received instructions TO i'm
pede in every way the progress Of
the motorized troops against us,
disrupt their communications and
nullify other functions necessary to
the success of the problem. The
men Of the 217th numbered around
$50 and left at 600 a. m. Monday
morning and arrived back at camp
between nine and twelve Tuesday
evening dust-caked and dirty from
the desert.
Colonel Carter and 1t. Colonel

executive Officers Of the 217th were
observers while Captain Bang Of
the 217th and Captain Hurlocker
acted as serial commanders.
Major Chrysler Hq Btry 1st Bn,

An extensive recre alton program
for the men Of this camp during
the time that they are in training
at their Firing Center near Bicycle
Lake is being planned by the Red
Cross chapter, Of Barstow. Mr..
George Waterfall, Of Barstow, Is
in charge Of the city's recreation
program for service men.
The program, though still incom-
plete, calls for the following facil-
tiles to be made available to army
personnel: reading and music
rooms in the old high school build
ing at Barstow; gymnasium, SWIM
ming. handball. tennis, hardball,
softball and showers in the new
high school building. Billiard and
pool tables will be installed IL the
demand warrants it.

put IL In the stove Il seemed as
though the tent was on fire and
all that could be smelled was the
odor Of burned wool and singed
hair at the time-he thought 1t
quite a joke.
The camp has been undergoing
few changes this past week with
the workmen busily engaged in
blacktopping all of the streets and
avenues about the camp. The land
scaping crew has begun to go to
work and planted cactus and shrub
berry around the various buildings
and made walks lined with rock.
With all these improvements the
camp is really beginning to look
pretty swell to all the boys.
The first car appeared in our
battery about two weeks ago and
1t is owned by a couple of guys
from st. Cloud who are in our out
fit. A week ago Jim Rattle went
into town and came back with a.
well you can call 1t car. The
boys around camp thought that he
got stuck but try and convince Jim.
Anyway he wasn't satisfied so he
traded 1t off again.
ran across a pretty good joke
this week so here goes. It seems
as though sergeant was training
bunch Of raw recruits on the
rifle range. At a hundred yards
every one Of them missed the tar
get. At fifty yards the result was
the same. He moved them UP to
the twenty-five yard range and
still not a bullet hit the targets.
Enraged, the sergeant shouted,
Fix bayonets and charged"
217th Desert Maneuvers
The most extensive maneuvers
since the camps establishments
were carried on last Monday and
Tuesday when the 215th and 216th
representing a defending force en-
gagged the 217th in mimic battle
that found our regiment theoretical
ly victorious.
The entire sham battle was car
ried on under the supervision of
U. S. Army Officers from the 4th
headquarters at San Francisco. The
maneuver was to prove a combat
and intelligence test.
The two regiments opposing our
force were detailed as transporta-
ton and communication units with
other activities vital to movement

7th inning and won the ball game
by the score Of 14-13. Some of the
fellows pitched horseshoe as there
are horse shoe courts over by the
Recreation Hall and we also have
one at the end of a row of our
tents which is in constant use
Others played football as there are
quite few balls around and the
boys are starting to get in shape
for next fall when they are going
to organize a Regimental football
team and I don't believe there Is
a man in camp that wouldn't like
to be on that. when the weekend
rolls around some of the boys find
1t a very good time to catch up
on their back mail and so on week
ends you will see quite a few push
ing a pencil or pounding a type
writer writing to some friend or to
his folks. On Sunday morning
the convoy for Laguna Beach left
at $3.50 with about 16 of our mem
bers and then the fellows started
going to the various churches and
all morning there was a steady
stream of men too and from
church. With the afternoon very
much to themselves a lot of the
boys went out for a hike to get
a beautiful California sun tan and
everyone out here seems to be get
ting brown. But at 4:30 everyone
was in camp to see the mail passed
out and there were a lot Of dis
appointed boys and lot Of them
walked away from the mail box
with big broad smiles on their
faces. We have a couple brand new
mail boxes both Of which were built
by Bob Gordon and they seem to
serve the purpose well enough. And
then about 500 p. m. the bunk felt
pretty good to quite a few and the
camp settled down for the night.
On Monday and Tuesday the
Regiment sent out its communica-
tions and intelligence sections out
into the Mojave desert to engage
the other two regiments in some
war maneuvers. When the boys
came in off the desert between 8
and 11:30 p. m. on Tuesday night
they had some pretty good stories
to tell. "Rattlesnake OLE" better
known as Olaf Becker, of Melrose,
had the best one though and he
said that he killed four rattlesnakes
by throwing rocks at them and for
proof he had the rattlers of a coup
lie of them and he even brought
one of the snakes back to camp.
When he first heard the snake rat
tie he said it was a scare at first
but then he got used to it after
the first three or four rattles he
sort of used to the sound Desert
Duke" or Hilary Egan got quite a
scare when he bumped into cactus
in the middle of the night because
he thought it was a snake but he
was pretty relieved when all he
had to do was to pull a lot of
prongs out of his leg. They say
that there was so much dust while
travelling across the desert that
they had to wear gas masks and
from the condition of their cloth
ing and equipment I wouldn't ar
que with any of them.

evening one day last week and

light the stove or freeze to death

and turned on the gas and looked
