deal with the rejecting pool TO
keep the public away from it. The
Navy wanted 10 close the pool by
fencing 1t of all around. the plan
being TO guard against sabotage Of
the two Office buildings that now
flank 1t.
When park officials heard of this
plan they objected strenuously. AS
a result an alternative has been
agreed upon. A fence parallel to
the pool will be erected, but not in
such a way as to interfere with the
walks and what is left of the pub
hes enjoyment of this favorite
recreational area.
The war has produced a critical
recreational problem in tbe National
Capital, Mr.. Ickes is said to have
warned both the War and Navy De-
partments. Recreation is as essen
tisl TO the health and morale of the
civilian population, including chill
dren. as it is TO the armed forces,
he represented.
Sees Disregard of Civilians.
For this reason, the Interior Sec
retary pointed out, it was beyond his
understanding that the Army and
Navy, which devote so much special
attention to entertainment, recrea-
ton and morale for their own forces,
could utterly disregard the wants or
deny the rights Of civilians in this
~F
ingtons civilians, he reminded, are
vital part of the war effort.
While Mr.. Ickes was on the sub
ject Of Washington's depleted recre-
ational facilities, he took occasion,
it was learned, to give the District
Commissioners a pat on the back for
their interest in trying to remedy
the situation. His views were made
known in a letter to Commissioner
J. Russell Young.
The Commissioners should be
commended, he said, for their efforts
to secure additional funds from the
Lanham Act for these much-needed
facilities. The situation will be
further aggravated, he reminded,
when residents Of the District are
forced to remain at home because
Of the rubber and gasoline shortage.
1.-THE Department of the Interior
will do everything possible to protect
from further encroachment the park
areas that remain for recreational
use,s he wrote, and also will sup
port your efforts to provide addi-
tional facilities and services which
are so necessary during these trying
times"

Senator Truman said the COM

Mr$Nelson said that would not be
fair.
He said that questionnaires sent
to business firms about the execu-

hindrance in obtaining men.
There is a lot of criticism just
because they are businessmen -

Joint Income Tax
Returns Defended
Before Women Voters
Treasury ofieioI
Answers Criticisms
At One boy School

A contention that the Treasury
Departments proposal for manda-
tory joint income tax returns by
husband and wife no more affects
the rights of women than 1t affects
those of men was made by Treas
ury Department Official today be-
fore q one-day tax school conduct
ed by the voteless District League
Of Women Voters
Randolph Paul. assistant to the
Secretary OF the Treasury. pointed
out that various charges hurled
against the proposal included the
statement that it would constitute
an attack on womgn's hard-won
rights and that It would encourage
divorce and discourage marriage.
Explains Purpose.
The fundamental purpose OF the
Treasury Joint return proposal
however, he explained. is to pre-
vent high income groups from pass
ing to low income groups the tax
burden that should attach to their
high family income.
Both spouses are treated upon a
plane OF equality, as they should be, 81
he asserted The joint return re-
quirement would not give a husband
any more control over his wife s
property than he might otherwise
have"
Without naming the person to
whom he referred, Mr.. Paul de-
clared that prominent figure in
the struggle for women's rights has
strongly implied that If mandatory
joint returns are approved by, Con-
gresS, women will no longer be re-
garded as human beings"
Adding that flow of shrieks and
groans" had come from other
sources. he asserted: "They all re-
duce marriage to a computation OF
taxes. That seems to me to be a
slight oversimplification of mar
riage. I cannot believe that people
with income will refuse to contract
marriage because 1t may raise their
taxes by few dollars, or that other
people with income will get divorced
In order to save a few dollars ir
taxes"
Affects Small Group.
1t should be remembered, he eau
toned, that the Treasury's propose,
affects comparatively small group
OF taxpayers. 1t has been estimated
he continued, that approximately 8
couples out of 10 have been filing
joint returns.
Mr.. Paul shared the morning pro-
gram with Senator Brown, Demo
crat, of Michigan and Dexter M
Keezer, an assistant administrator
Of the ONCE of Price Administra.
ton. Both Senator Brown and Mr.
Keezer discussed measures designed
to control imitation, including the
sale of War savings bonds. The
school is being held at the Wash
ington Hotel.

Had Narrow Escape
In Initial Battle

Suddenly, the stiffness OF the
Jungle was ripped wide open by
the roar OF heavy rifle, and Mac
Arthur's orderly. walking at his
side. pitched forward with most Of
his face torn away.
InStinctively, Macarthur stepped
down 10 catch the dead man. Just
as he did. another shell tore
through his broad-brimmed service
hat and spun il off his head. If he
had not ducked down just at that
moment, he would have caught the
bullet in his head.
His little band of men now found
themselves the center Of circle OF
bowling dervishes, some of them
swinging down out of trees 10 ad-
vance with wicked bolo knives.
II was almost a routine battle
for the Sun-bronzed, war-cruSted

young lieutenant was goggle-eyed
with excitement. He likes to talk
about that skirmish to this day.
