his invention by dropping a HARM

Maj. Gen. Adna r. Chaffee. seri-

decorated yesterday by the War
Department for outstanding fore
sight, judgment and leadership" in
organizing and initially commanding
the Armys new arrnored force.
Already possessor of the Distin-'
ruished Service Medal for his World
War services, Gen. Chaffee was pre-
sented with an oak-leaf cluster cita-
ton, the equivalent Of the D. S. M.
The presentation was made, the
War Department said, by 1t. Col.
George X. Cheves, liaison officer of
the armored force, who represented
Secretary of War Stimson.
Gen. Chaffee recently relinquished
command of the armored force be-
cause of his illness. His successor
Is Mai. Gen. Jacob l.. Devers.
Gen. Chaffees citation said that

knowledge of mechanical warfare
has made important contributions

the national defense"

more producers and increases the
volume and speed of the total de-
fense effort, it does not ordinarily
enable the primary contractor to
turn out his order faster
The need for a definition of sub
contracting was suggested by the
Army and Navy Munition Boards
statistics on subcontracts held by
their primary contractors. The
board said the services, which have
something over $4,000 primary con-
tractors. have awarded more than
1000 900 primary contracts, and the
primary contractors, the board
added, awarded more than 4l4,O00
subcontracts.
These figures do not indicate that
the Army and Navy contractors are
farming out thir work on a large
scale. These so-called subcontracts
include all the producers contracts
for materials and equipment. But
in the sense in which o. P. M. uses
the term, true subcontract is one
in which the primary contractor
farms out portions of his job which
he normally would produce in his
own plant.
Still another step which the Army
and Navy must take il defense
work is to be spread among all
plants which could produce defense
materials, in the opinion Of some
experts, is to greatly augment their
list of primary contractors-the
concerns which they have investi-
gated aad approved and with whom
they regularly do business. When
they need something, the services
furnished these firms with list OF
the desired items. and only small
proportion OF concerns not on this
list ever bid or negotiate on Army
and Navy contracts.
The result is indicated in recent
o. P. M. figures. The Army and
Navy awarded supply contracts
amounting to s9,839 900 900 between
June, 1910, and May, l94l: and 56
firms got 1873 per cent of the busi-
ness.
This probably was unavoidable,
some responsible officials say. The
task was so large and the need for
speed was so pressing that the serv-
ices had no choice; they had to
rely on those concerns they knew
could turn out the work. If the
had had to canvass the 200Do0
prime contractors in the country
before they had made their awards,
the country would have received no
military equipment for years.

reinforced by at least 10 Siberian
divisions, are counterattacking
all along the front.
The battle is more severe than
anything that has been seen in
this or the last World War. On
the Smolensk front, a whole Rus
sian Army which was completely
encircled by the Germans is now
by way of being rescued. The
Russians are counterattacking
the German ring from three diff
ferent directions. For the time
being the result is uncertain. The
Germans are rushing reinforce
ments by air and by road.
Neutral military observers
maintain that if this battle
turns against the Soviets the
German forces will be able to
re-establish the situation and
continue their Blitz against the
principal observation-disclosures
Moscow and Kiev. But if the
Russians either win the fight or
manage to stalemate their op-
ponents the position of the Ger
mans will be precarious.
The chief difficulty of the
American and British authorize.
to size up the situation ade-
quately is that no observers are
yet allowed at the front. The
reason for this seems to be that
the operations involving large

able that it would be difficult

move the community property dis
elimination whenever it sees At to
do so.
The advantage enjoyed by citizens
of the community property States
is self-evident. Prof. Edward N.
Griswold of Harvard University re-
Gently calculated that whereas a
New York citizen with a $4,000
salary, married but without other
dependents, paid $540 under the
1910 income tax law, a California
husband and wife in the same situa-
ton paid $3.50 each-a total of $500,
This disparity widens as income
rises.
Oklahoma's excuse for its recent
adoption of a community property
law was that its oil tycoons and
other wealthy citizens were moving
over the line into Texas in order
to escape taxation. With the vastly
increased tax rates of the present
bill accentuating the community
property advantage, other States al
most certainly will follow Okla
homas lead unless this advantage
is wiped out by the present joint
return proposal or some other de-
vice.
"Prejudicial to Women"
Until the nine State House
group unlimbered its club. COM
munity property had figured very
little in the battle for and against
the joint-return provision. The
opposition had been coming from
the wealthy Eastern cities, based
principally on the argument, first
advanced by Bishop William Man.
ming of New York, that the require
ment of joint return by husband
and wife would increase divorce
and that it would be 'prejudicial
to women" and impair their in
dividuality for the sole purpose of
raising revenue
Several developments have tended
TO take the wind out of this ethical
and emotional argument. First, it
was disclosed that the British al
ways have required joint return by
husband and wife and there has
been no suggestion in Britain that
married folks were separating for
the purpose of reducing their taxes.
Secondly, Chairman Doughton of
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee produced comparative fig
ures to show joint returns would
not increase taxes of any husband
and wife whose combined income
was $4,000 or less, and that its effect
would not be great within a s1O,-
900 income range.

not exist when he was first
elected to the mayoralty eight
years ago. Before that he had
been variously Representative
in the House, as a Socialist party
member and as a Republican. He
has supported President Roose-
velt against Republican presl-
dental candidates on three occa-
sionS, and has himself had the
tacit support of the New Deal
administration in Washington
although the Democratic national
organization, as represented hrSt
by Jim" Farley, former national
chairman. and now by Chairman
Edward J. Flynn, has backed
Democratic candidates. This IS
lust a move on the part OF the
national organization to help
maintain the New York City
Democratic organization Tor

elections.
Shelved Endorsement.
When the Mayor ran four years
ago the President withheld open
support. but sent the Mayor a
letter of Endorsement. The Mayor
might have made use of 1t just
before the election. But he
showed it in his pocket and let 1t
stav there-feeling that he hao
the election and preferring to
have the credit himself rather
than to have it said the President
put him across. What the Presl-
dent will do about it this year
remains to be seen. If he should
indorse La Guardia it would be
taking sides, seemingly, against
Ed" Flynn, who managed his
last presidential campaign.
The New York Republicans are
not enamored of the Mayor-but
they prefer, in the main, to see
him reelected than to have the
Democratic organization take over
the City Hall. They do not like
La Guardia because he has done
little or nothing for them, and
because he has helped to carry
New York both for President and
for Governor against Republican
candidates. It is expected, how
ever. the G. o. P. in New York
will give La Guardla the Repub-
lican nomination for Mayor this
year, as the lesser of two evils.
They will go along with the "fu-
sion candidate And thousands
of independents, independent
Democrats and Republicans will
vote for him because he has given
the city a good and efficient gov
ernment.
Some of the Republican lead
ers are bucking the idea of a Re-
publican nomination for the
Mayor. The leaders in New York,
Kings and Richmond Counties
have just announced for his

At present, however, Mr.. Dewey

Several combinations are under
