The report Is to be submitted
by Sir William Jowitt, paymas-

The outstanding proposals of
the report, the newspapers said,
are those covering insurance for
all workers and the appointment
of q minister of social security
who would be responsible for
settlement of unemployment
problems, pensions, medical
services and workmen's COM

Press forecasts said the Bev-

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is -R
- With the sole exception Of
draft beer, the consumer will be-
gin paying more for alcoholic
beverages from packaged Ii
quor to q straight drink be-
ginning Nov. /.
The Office of Price Admins
tration disclosed this today in
outlining methods by which dis
tillers, wholesalers and retailers
may pass on to the consumer in
creased Federal excise taxes
provided in the recently-enacted
tax bill.
In the case Of draft beer, OPA
said the amount of the tax in
crease was too small to pass on
to the consumer.
OPA cautioned distributors
against increasing their ceiling
prices more than the tax in
crease.
The tax rise on domestic
WHISTLES will not be uniform,
since it is based on proof. For
100 proof bonded whisky, the in
crease is So a gallon; 90 proof,
$1.80, and 80 proof, $1.60.
The retailer thus may increase
his ceiling prices so cents a
quart for 100 proof, As cents for
90 proof, and 40 cents for 80
proof.
Since most imported Scotch
whisky is Sc proof, the tax will
be $1.73 a gallon. When the pre-
sent floor stocks are exhausted,
however, a direct tax Of 81 q
gallon will replace the excise
tax, regardless of proof.
Other tax increases include:
Sweet wines, 10 cents a gallon;
dry wines, 2 cents a gallon;
champagnes, 3 cents a half pint;
beer, 81 a barrel.
Beginning Nov. /, bars may
increase their prices for the US
ual Bounce digger" by 3 cents
for each straight" drink of 90
proof dome site whisky.
straight" liquor is the only
type of hard drink now under
price ceilings.

Relatives and Friends
Of Houpt Face Charges
Accused Of Helping Conceal
Youngest Of Executed Spies

CHICAGO, Oct. 26 - up -
Six somber men and women en-
ter Federal Court today to de-
fend themselves against charge
Of treason
They are the parents, relatives
and friends of Herbert Hans
Haupt, youngest of the six Nazi
saboteurs executed in Washing
ton August 8.
The government accuses them
of helping the German Reich by
concealing young Haupt, al
though they knew of his mission
of death and destruction by safe
guarding large amounts of mo-
ney he brought with him from
Germany, and otherwise aiding
his purpose.
Their trial before Judge Will
liam j. Campbell will be the
first case of treason ever heard
in the state of Illinois. Prosecu-
ton and defense attorneys indi-
Gated the trial might last six
weeks.
The defendants, all of whom
have pleaded innocent, were
Hans Max and Erna Emma
Haupt, the dead saboteur's par
ents; Walter and Lucille Froeh-
ling, his uncle and aunt; and
two friends of the family, Otto
Richard Wergin and his wife,
Kate.
j. Edgar Hoover, chief of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation,
has described the Froehlings as
important contacts" for the
German agents, who were land
ed on the East coast from SUBJ
marines last June with large
supplies of money and explo-
sives.
One of the two saboteurs who
escaped death, Ernest Peter
Burger, was expected to be the
governments most important
witness. u. S. Attorney J. Albert
,Woll said Burger, once a me-
chanic in Detroit and Milwau-
kee, would be brought here Sc
cHetly from his place of deten-
ton. There were indications that
he might disclose by his testi-
mory manyeangles Of the sabo-
tage plot which up to now have
been State secrets.

10 Axis Army
Epidemic Possible
Experts Report

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 -R
Adolf Hitler's legions in east
ern Europe face a potentially
dangerous situation" from a pos
sible typhus epidemic, the Office
of War Information reports.
The Owl said the Nazi Army
and the German civilian popula-
ton have been left without pro-
lection against a typhus out
break because a complicated
vaccine treatment prohibits mass
administration.
"Typhus does not seem likely
to beat the German Army, but
a beaten German Army may be
brought still lower by typhus, -
Owl said in a report on disease
conditions in Germany and Ger
man-held territory.
Nazi troops in Poland and
Russian area where q great
focus of infection in Europe has
developed"-have not been vac
cinated and are without natural
immunity against typhus, the re-
port continued. The Russians,
Owl said, have a high rate of
immunity because many of them
contracted the disease when a
typhus epidemic swept Russia at
the close of the last war.
"The vaccine situation of the
German Army is traceable to
DR.. Herman Eyer, chief of the
institute for typhus research of
the German Army at Krakow,
who appears to have committed
mistake in handling the job"
Owl said.
"Dr. Eyer adopted two vac
cines, both Of which proved so
complicated in preparing that
mass production of the vaccines
became impossible. AS a result,
he was able to vaccinate only the
Reichswehr's medical and sani-
tary personnel. at any
rate, the Germany Army, not to
mention the civilian population,
was left with no protection
whatsoever"

TAKES THREE YEARS
TO TRAIN PILOT
It's new kind of photography,
this western front reconnais-
sance. 1t combines candid-cam-
era technique with spectacular
flying and it takes three years to
train q pilot for the job.
Britain is only now just put
ting into action the first groups
to be trained under actual war
conditions.
The camera used by the RAJ
for this work is an instrument
weighing % pounds, with a focal
length of ga inches and a top
shutter speed Of over 10000 of a
second. interchangeable maya
zines carry IS feet of film for
125 exposures, which are S
inches square.
For high altitude work they
use a long-barreled telescope
camera with a focal length of 36
inches. Spectacular shots of Ger
man planes exploding in midair
from the bullets of eight guns
firing simultaneously are obtain
ed by two small movie cameras
fitted into the wings alongside
the machine guns. When the
guns firing buttons are pressed
the cameras, too, start shooting.
GIANT U. S FLARE
is GREAT HELP
For these mid-air action pho
tos every Spitfire pilot is a
photographer. He aims the
plane for the kill and that aims
the two cameras.
An important United States
contribution to this special aerial
reconnaissance is the billion
candlepower flare which was
developed in New York State
and tried out over Rochester. A
five-mile area is illuminated by
the bomb. When it falls a device
trips the camera shutter at the
time when illumination is great
est.
High altitude photography is
the less flashy side of reconnais-
sance. Weeks before an area is
to be visited by bombers, lone
planes weave back and forth
over targets, enemy strong
points, troop concentrations.

Crossing the French coast, he
flashed by a squadron of Mes

1905, but was 20 miles ahead
before they could turn.
On he flew, and then began
the quick descent. Down through
layers of cloud until he was $50
feet above the ground, travelling
head-on towards the base with
the speed of bullet.
With his finger on the firing
button, the electrically-operated
camera clicked as he swept over
the target.
HE PROVES TO BE
A PERFECTIONIST
But he shouldn't have been a
professional photographer in
civilian life. When he pulled up
he got to thinking, and decided
he could frame a better pic
ture.
So he took another rum
through. And that's how the Raj
acquired the story of the pilot
who touched his wheels down on
the ground at a German bomber
base to enable his camera to
make a head-on horizontal shot
of the hangers and groups of
planes waiting to take off.
He made it, though, and got
home safely.
He's but one of Britain's group
of special reconnaissance pilots
who are doing some of the most
spectacular flying of this war in
order to bring back photographs
which tell the story of German
industry and reveal the secrets of
German military strategy.
I talked to Flight-Lieut. A. X.
Gatward, the young pilot who,
weeks ago, skinned the roof
tops of Paris to bring back photos
of Gestapo headquarters. He
roared along the Champs Elysees
on that Paris flight, flying SO low
that when Sergt. G.. Fern, his
photographer, snapped a picture
of the Grand Palais, sign ad-
vertising q New Order art ex-
hibition inside was clearly
legible.
He said he volunteered for the
job because he'd never been to
Paris in his life and had sort of a
longing to see what the city
looked like.
And there was that young
Pole who took photos of the Won
Tirpitz, hidden deep in a Nor
wegian ford. Britain's Admiral
ty suspected the ship was in this
particular ford from informa-
ton which trickled their way.
But you can't weaken one sea
lane to strengthen another
without concrete proof.
So the Pole flew north for the
picture. He had to fly inland
first, then circle back because an
