her allies during the first ninety
days under the Lease-Lend Law.
The report further shows that an
undisclosed number of planes
valued at approximately four mil
lion dollars were turned over to
Britain and the other Axis forces
during the past ninety days. A
fighting plane costs from fifty to-
seventy-fve thousand dollars
and bomber costs from one hun

hundred thousand dollars-so it
can readily be seen that not more
tran eighty fighting planes Of %
bombers could have been furnish
ed Great Britain during the past
ninety days. From the Presidents
report it is evident that American
aid to Great Britain during the
first three months under the
Lease-Lend Law has not been
much about which to boast.

Security Tax Claim
Of Bank Rejected

DALLAS, Tex. May 23-Federal
Judge W. H. Atwell yesterday handed
down a ruling that State banks were
subject to social security taxation
between the years of 1887 and 1899.
He held against the First State Bank
of Gainesville. which sued w. A..
Thomas, internal revenue collector.
The bank had asked for recovery
of $1268 in taxes paid during the
period. during which the State
statute exempting State banks from
payment of social security was in
effect. The law was amended in
1910. Since then the banks have
not been contesting the payments.
Assistant United States Attorney
John Erhard said the decision may
be far-reaching in opening up the
field for assessment of many banks
