WASHINGTON The fireside chat which Roosevelt delivers to- night has been the hardest to pre- pare of any during his eight years in the White House For he knows that upon the basis of this speech history will adjudge his leadership for peace or war.
 He knows that, as the Chicago Times R. J. Finnegan recently sent word ,to him: "The ball is on dead center. The public is waiting for the lead. You can pick it up and run with it either way"
 Illustrative of the mental anguish which must beset Roosevelt at this time is a remark he made to friend very recently, describing similar situation which faced Woodrow Will son. Roosevelt was Assistant Secre- tary of the Navy and together with other naval advisers urged Wilson to mobilize the fleet in the Atlantic in preparation for the possibility of war. This was before the German submarine campaign had become severe.
 Wilson refused and explained to young Roosevelt that the admins tration must let Germany take the initiative. He would make no move which might appear to put the United States into the war.
 'At the time," Roosevelt now says, q disagreed with MT. Wilson ana thought he was wrong. But now that I look back on it can see that he was absolutely right"

New Taxes vs. InfIafion:
 Exclamation Is Given Of
 Proposed Treasury Plan
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, May 27 = The Treasury experts who planned the scheme now before Congress to raise $3,5OO,OO0,00 in new defense taxes next year hope they also are building a set of brakes against imitation.
 The theory is that imitation hap pens when people have lots of money to spend The more things they buy, the scarcer things get. The scarcer things get, the higher go prices. Then the peoples money y won't buy so much, but prices tend to remain high-they are "in- Hated"
 A noted British economist, John Maynard Keynes, now in Wash ington, prescribes heavy taxes in boom times to prevent people from spending enough to cause in- flation. In times of depression he recommends buying power be brought up by public spending Some economic experts here say the Treasury tax plan is an Amer ican version of Keynes plan. In any case, the defense spending boom makes the experts feel it ia imperative that Congress plan against imitation. Prices are defin- itely on the upgrade, and the threat is doubled now that defense con- tractors are bidding for raw ma terials and ships are scarce to carry many of the things we need from foreign lands. There's dan ger of panicky buying under those circumstances.
 The Treasury people made their tax plans with one eye on the national income, barometer of prosperity-or lack of it. The na- tional income is the sum of all our incomes.
 Experts estimate the 194l na- tional income at around $85 ,OOO,- GOO 000-beyond the high water mark of 1929 Next year they ex- pect it to go still higher.

WASHINGTON, May 27 The capital off the cuff:
 In a way, this is laugh on the G-men. But also it is a variation of an old story about the fellows who put gasoline in the fire ex- tinguishers.
 The Federal Bureau of Investi- gation is doing good deal more than you know about. It is check ing everything under the sun. It checks defense plants to see what goes on, if anything, in the way of sabotage. The other day, FBI men were Investigating a pier and wharf area q can't tell where) and came on 97 water barrels, filled to the brim. Over each group of them was this sign: For use only in case of fire"
 The pay-off was that five gal Ions of fuel oil floated on top uf each barrel. The conclusion was staggering. The FBI settled down for an all-out investigation. But instead of saboteurs, tn e FBI found health officials. These men, it was definitely proved, had come into the case on hurry-up call-and their orders were to eliminate all mosquitoes in the neighborhood. The first thing was to spread oil-and lots of it-over the open fresh-water barrels. Il murdered the mosquitoes. Il wasn't until the F,BI knocked or their doors that the health men realized they, had made a flaming torch out of every Misrepresentation water keg in the vicinity.

Golf under the stars was intro
duced at yesterdays tournament.
With a turnout of 1879 players,
most of whom didn't tee off until
in the afternoon. quite few were
forced TO complete their rounds
in semi-darkness.
Among them were Ryan and
Wilson. 1t was almost 9 o'clock
when they holed out their last
puts. Kelly and Griffin started
earlier and avoided the darkness.
Ryan, who was in the Rst four
some, wasn't so hot at golf under
the stars. He won the club COM

start while it was still daylight.
He was only one over par after
the thirteenth. Then darkness be-
gan to catch up with him and he
lost four strokes to par on the
last five holes.
