There's the picture. Mapping it
out, the parallel between the Russo
German conflict in the swamp coun-
try of the northern front is in
escapable.
Will Gen. Kruger defend against
his faster foe by letting mechanical
stuff through on the roads and
pinching it off before the support
infantry gets up-as the Russians
did in many instances?
Will Gen. Lear attempt encircling
action to surround and chew up
segments of the opposing army, as
the mechanical Germans did?
That's the whole picture of the
coming manuvers. 1t pits a fast,
hard hitting, mechanical force
against a slower. heavier force
on terrain that puts mechanical
equipment at a disadvantage in wet
weather.

Labor Leader Calls
Tax Bill Shocking
Betrayal Of People
Congress Listened TO
War MiIIionoires,' Says
c. |. O. Representative

The new tax bill approved by the
Senate and House "is a shocking
betrayal of the American people by
those whom their votes elected to
public office" John r. Jones, legis-
lative representative of the C. I. O.,
and director of Labor's Non-Par-
tisan League, declared in a radio
address last night.
In passing this bill, Congress has
listened to the voice of the mo-
noponsts and war millionaires," and
turned deaf ear to workers, farm
ers and the small businessmen, he
said.
The 1941 revenue measure is not
only the biggest tax bill in Ameri-
can history, but also 'the most
unjust" Mr.. Jones charged 1T
will place direct taxes on individ-
uals earning as little as SIS weekly
and on married people whose in
come is only $50 week on the one
hand, while on the other it will
allow huge industrial corporation
such as General Motors to clear
S210,000,000 annually before it be-
gins to pay cent of surplus taxes" "
he said.
Treasury representatives favored
increasing consumer and income
taxes which affect the lower income
groups only after heavier taxes were
placed on corporation profits" Mr..
Jones continued. Congressional
leaders in the House and Senate,
however, supported all provisions to
tax low-income groups, but opposed
the recommendations for adequate
taxes on corporation profits. In
doing this, they have betrayed the
interests of the common people
Analysis of the bill reveals that it
has one rule for the low-income
groups, and another for high-in-
come individuals, or corporations
1t is bill that provides relief for
the rich at the expense of the poor
THE bill will leave untaxed and
provide many loopholes for huge
profits and incomes of wealthy cor
porations and individuals. Also, in
its taxes on corporations, it actually
gives the advantage to the big

forces to Gen. Kruger would still
further increase his numerical
superiority.
There has been no "tipoff" on
the assignment of the aviation units
to either side. It's cinch both
sides will have adequate recon-
naissance planes. A modern army

whether Gen. Lear will get the bulk
of the aviation for plane-and-tank
team assaults, or Gen. Kruger will
get it so G. H. @. can see what
planes and tanks do against each
other is anybody's guess.
What does this add up to-? Gen.
Lear will have the swifter forces,
preponderance of mechanical
weapons, but he'll be more tied to
the roads if wet weather sets in in
bayou country as expected
Gen. Kruger will have a nu-
merically superior force. and an
advantage in that his foot soldiers
can slog through roadless country
for raids or for mass action where
tanks can't go.

dog, in the opinion of Giles Goswick,
is one that can follow the trail OF
a mountain lion for four days, II
necessary, and then do battle with
the cornered beast in stand-up,
knock-down fight with tooth and
claw.
Mr.. Goswick is Government
hunter and his pack of lion hounds
is one of the best in the country.
Together they've bagged 300 lions
in the wilds of Western Arizona.
Although Mr.. Goswick is inclined
to shrug off prodigious feats Of
workmanship, other hunters speak
highly of his craftsmanship, track
ing skill and understanding his
dogs.
The story of a hunt begins when
some rancher or stockman reports
finding lion signs-a calf has been
killed, or the carcass of deer dis
covered
Mr.. Goswick loads his hounds into

roads will permit. Then he takes
to the open country on horseback.
The dogs follow the tracks of the
lion until it takes refuge in a cave
or a tree, or it turns to fight. Trail
ing may take a few hours or sew
eral days, and some of the dogs may
drop out with trail-worn or cactus
punctured paws or from sheer ex-
hauStion.
In the last hectic round, the dogs
show their training and stamina.

cause one to feel that sickness could
not be avoided. There were only 10
cases of dysentry and only three or
four of those of a serious nature.
These were all cleared up with very
little difficulty. The children had
frequent upsets since the food was
so different. Despite the difficulties
everyone survived the ordeal in good
condition.
The efficiency of the German sail
ors was impressive to the group and
they attempted to bolster up the
spirits of the captive group by max
ing promises where the landing
would take place. 1t was soon re-
allied that the ship was attempting
to run the blockade and the party
would be returned to Europe.
WEAR LIFE BELTS
The group was ordered to wear
life belts and to sleep in clothing
at all times. The latter regulation
would have been done despite the
order because of the cool nights and
the insufficient bedding. The SON.
slant fear of meeting British sub
marine was in the minds of the
group.
Two factors operated, however, to
enable the Dresden safely to run
| the blockade. Just as the run was
being made the British navy was
out looking for the German ship
Bismarck and heavy storm blew
up which made submarine operation
almost impossible.
Spain was first sighted on Sun
day night, May 18. On the next
day, it was learned in America that
the group was lost but that was the
first day they were really safe since
the boat was now inside territorial
waters. From this point on the mer
and women were allowed to stay to-
gether and the group enjoyed watch
ing the sights of the beautiful coast
line of northern Spain.

All the Britishers on board were
made prisoners of the Nazi govern
ment but the Americans aboard Were
taken off the ship at Biarritz which
is on the Sea of Biscay. The groul
was taken to hotels in the city witt
instructions to stay within twt
blocks of the building. After twt
days the group was given the free
dom of the city.

station when the sinking occurred.
AS the novelty Of being prisoners on

found difficulty in finding construct

SCHEDULE
A typical day on the Dresden ran
something as follows: Everybody
arose about $50 o'clock and dressed
the children for breakfast at seven.
Breakfast was served in relays. The
children and ladies were served on
the starboard side and the men on
the port side.
After that school was held for
the children which was really more
like Sunday school since there We're
no books or supplies to use. At $3.50
the missionaries held a prayer meet,
ing on deck. One of the girls in the
group had managed to salvage hel
violin and was able to provide music
at the various meetings of the mis-
sionary group.
At 10 o'clock the men and womer
were allowed to talk with each Other
for about two hours. After the moor
lunch there was nothing to do th'
entire afternoon but sit and talk

o'clock and continued until about six
