Tells of New England;
Opens Here Friday

A previeW Of "Harvests for To-
morrow" latest Government docu-
mentary film, was held last night
In the auditorium of the Agricul-
ture Department.
The film reflects life in agricul-
tural New England depicting the
history of farming in that section.
1t shows how for 300 years men
were able to take the crops from
the soil, without replacing that
which they took away.
But crops began to fail and farms
were lost when the depleted, sour
soil failed to yield anything save
scrub. Then scientists came in and
discovered that the soil was poor be-
cause the minerals, such as lime
and phosphate, had been removed.
Now. farmers of the section spread
these minerals over their pastures.
Farmers Only Actors.
There are no actors in the pic
ture-save the farm men, women
and children of New England who
were caught by the cameraman ct
their routine.
The musical score was composed
and arranged by John Alden Finckel
of Washington, concert cellist, and
was recorded for the film by men,
bers of the National Symphony Or
chestra.
The film is in the tradition of its
predecessors in Government films.

 In other words, taxes will hence forth apply to high school plays and athletic contests, civic concerns, and church affairs, which previously have been specifically tax-exempt. X Among the new taxes will also be taxes on bowling alleys, pool and bil- Hard tables, and coin-operated games, even those maintained by clubs, according to MT. Price.
 Night Clubs
 Night clubs will from now on be taxed at five percent of the total amount paid for admission, refresh ment. and merchandise.
 With regard to the problem pre-. sented to local retailers by the new taxes, MT. Price said the internal revenue office had no authority to require any prescribed method of accounting. The essential thing, he explained, is for each merchant to have some way to indicate clearly what sales are taxable, and which are not. In this task every merchant must have the full cooperation of his sales force.
 While not anticipating any trouble with local retailers, MT. Price said the revenue office might send a buyer around to various establish ments to see that they were keeping accurate records of taxable and non- taxable sales.

and simple: CD keep an alert watch; (2) mark their fall: (3 get immediately to them; (D re- duce fire in surrounding area with water spray; (5) heap bomb with sand or other suitable ma terial, to confine its effect; and (6) upon its burning out (10 to Is minutes) or as much before as possible, shovel 1t into Q pail of sand and throw 1t out. If one gets at 1t early enough, this may be all there Is to 1t. If one doesn't. then there will remain 8 larger or smaller confiagration of normal character to be combatted afterwards. We learn that, in England today, their school boys are being organized and trained as incendiary fighters.
 But war, We have all observed, is far from a fixed or static prob- lem. It progresses in its develop ment and evolves into new forms and methods. The incendiary bomb is in this same state of change. Already, England notes that small percentage of the incendiaries that fall there are charged with an explosive corTl- ponent, which operates at the end of the combustion period or at some interval after the ignition has begun. This may somewhat increase the effectiveness of the bomb as an ignition agent, and 1t certainly increases It's unattrac- tiveneSS as a matter to be ap- preached and handled by any such simple routine as the 1, 2, 3, 4, s, and procedures described above. Nevertheless, 1t does not change the fundamental truism that the quick defense Is the suc- cessful one and that "forewarned is forearmed" in very real sense.
 Wooden Houses Vulnerable
 What is the destructive eff. ciency Of an incendiary air raid? England's experience indicated that nine out of ten bombs fell where their action was virtually harmless. Tn the open areas of America, the ratio might rise to nineteen out of twenty. On the other hand, we used to hear of 1000 bombs being carried by one airplane. Now 1t is 5000, and there are rumors of 4000. Finally, English experience was based on the character of English con- struction-chiefiy tsone. American construction, the country over, Is largely wood. Clearly, the incen- diary bomb presents an impress sive challenge to the American air raid warden.

 The schedule of new excise taxes which becomes effective tomorrow will dip into virtually every pock- etbook. The tax on whiskey goes up from 8 to $4 gallon-an jn- crease of 25 cents quart. The tux on beer was not increased.
 Night club and cabaret checks will be taxed 20 per cent after to- night, and the excise tax on auto- mobiles will rise from 3 1-2 per cent to seven per cent Of the manu- facturer's sales price.
 Most of the new excise taxes will be levied on the basis of the manu- lecturers price. rather than on ;he retail sales price, except in the case of the new 10 per cent tax on furs, jewelry and cosmetics which will be taxed 10 per cent of the retail price.
 Among the many other commod- ities which will be more expensive tomorrow are washing machines, radios. cameras. playing cards, sporting goods, musical instru- ments, electric, gas and oil ap- pliances.
 Also included in the schedule of heavier taxes were special levles on club dues, telegraph and tele- phone bills, passenger tFan1pcTta- ton tickets, bowling alleys, auto- mobile tires and theateT admissions.

 Brewer disappeared 24 hours af- ter the body of Mrs. Washington was found wedged in the closet and has been the object of the hunt since Friday. New York police re- ported that Mrs. Washington was stabbed three times. The woman was reported to have been sep- arated from her husband. Brewer is said to have met her during the summer.
 Basic Uses Piece
 While in prison the original dance composition, stampede in c min- or" was written by Brewer. Count Basic received Q copy from Rich ard Wright, author of "Native Son." After Brewers release from prison, he became arranger for Basic and many of his swing compositions were played by the orchestra of Count Basic.
 The deceased woman's sons, Al- fred, l6, and Everett, l5, returned home from school Thursday, but when they found that their mother was not there thought nothing of 1t. Put when they came home on Friday afternoon they started search for her and in attempting to open the closet found 1t locked. Everett then decided to take the hinges off the door and the body was found wedged in the closet.
 The parolee was in Waterbury within month of his release from prison and local police stated he became acquainted while in this city with Mrs. Washington who has relatives here.
 Experienced Man
 State prison has transformed Brewer from Q youth of inexper- fence to one who is glib and carries on a polished conversation. Music critics held @ brilliant career for him on his release and believed he would become a foremost swing ex- ponert.
 Description of the man, police said, was that he appeared as a serious little man wearing rirnleSs glasses on & wide nose.
 Brewer lives at 400 West 150thj street with his aunt and when New York police went to that addresses, found he had left with some of his possessions.
 The murder for which he served his long stretch was perpetrated in 1922 at Orange, N.J. Previously to staying his five months bride he had served 30 days for petty lar- ceny in New York.
 Brewer had gained legion Of admirers and when he came out of prison he was made Count Basies music arranger immediately.

NO ACTION TAKEN
 BY STATE AGENTS
Warrants Expected to Be Issued for Bowling AL
 ley Operators

No warrants for the arrest of two bowling alley operators had been issued up to 1 o'clock today, accord- ing to Prosecutors William K. Law Tor of Frederick W. Palomba. The two municipal prosecutors stated that no one had approached them for arrest of the operators whom John c. Ready, deputy state labor commissioner, said had violated the child labor act by working boys un- der 16 years of age. MT. Ready said he would ask the municipal court prosecutors for warrants for the owners of Sena' Recreation and the Chase Brass & Copper O., Inc, bowling alleys.
 MT. Ready said Inspector Leo Alix in Q recent visit to the alleys of Sena Saturday night, found that four. youngsters who were 15-years- old were setting up pins. On check at the Chase alleys, the dep- uty state labor commissioner said Inspector Alix discovered that a 14- year-old boy was employed.
 He said that periodically the city's seven bowling alleys arc checked by 25 inspectors of the la bor department in the state. His checkup is made to eliminate the practice of working boys under 16 years of age.
 He declared that violators are H. able to a $100 fine and costs for this labor act and said that in Walling- ford and in Hartford continuances were made last week on charges of a similar nature.
