During the reign of terror in
France in the early 1790s the prisons
of Paris presented a scene seldom
witnessed in history. In the eve

always called by them the drawing

dressed; saluted one another by
their former noble names, played

YUMA, Ariz., Dec. 26 - up
- There was a time when JUS

wouldn't have traded jobs with
Gov. Sidney p. Osborn, but
since gasoline rationing Lutes is
glad he has as ice cream parlor

here was a sideline in pre-war
days because about 10000 cou-
pies per year crossed the Col

good day for marriages." Lutes
asserted. Yesterday married
only ID couples. Marriages are
off about IS per cent here"
S. Mont Smith, clerk of the
court, said he issued about 80 Ii
censes on Christmas Eve and
Christmas Day. Most of them
were soldiers" he added. They
had to come here on buses and
trains and very few others can
travel that or any other way
right now"
Smith was defeated for reelec-
ton and will be replaced jan
uary 4 by Willard Daniels.
''In normal times one four
year term was about all man
needed" Lutes commented, re-
ferring to Smith. But now you
can't tell about business with
the uncertainty of these war
days"
When Lutes was elected two
years ago he staged ice cream
socials, passed out gallons of soft
drinks, political literature and
=. lapel buttons.
The buttons, designed espe-
cially for kids, advised:
II wish I were FL SO I could
vote for Lutes,"

On Nov. 81, in company with a
New Baltimore woman, Mrs.

said Hickman knew they were

he got this information. Mrs.

Hickman for two years.
Today, Mrs. johnson informed

Hickman was back in New Bal

his marriage.
Advised of this, Police Chief
Lyman Eckhardt of East Detroit
said he would 60 to New Balti-

clear up the case or reach some
understanding between the prin-
cipals involved.
Mrs. johnson is ready to lay

Entire Grew Escapes
from Sinking Ship

AN EAST COAST PORT,
Dec. 26 - Up An entire ships
company of So escaped in three
lifeboats when their medium sig
ed United States Merchantmen
was torpedoed in the North At
lantic about the middle of No
vember, survivors disclosed to-
day.
A single torpedo, fired from
All unseen submarine, struck the
sta:board side of the vessel near
the No. 2 hold, they said. One
lifeboat was wrecked by the ex-
plosion, but the merchant crew
of Al and the gun crew of IL had
ample time to abandon ship in
good order in the three remain
ing boats.
They were picked up In about
an hour by a rescue vessel and
only one man, a merchant sea-
man, required medical attention.
He suffered rope burns, caused
by friction as he slid down a
line to a life boat. Like most
men of his calling, his reaction
to his experience was a desire
to get back to sea.

Rubber
Continued from Page I

LETTERS said Wednesday in
Omaha the rubber shortage
might make it necessary to call
TO- the fifth, or spare tire, from
many automobiles and that some
machines might be taken off the
roads entirely.
The committee, Gillette said,
would center its attention on
what he termed the delay in
constructing plants to manu-
facture alcohol from grain for
use in synthetic rubber.
A year ago $3.50, 100000 was
allocated to pool petroleum pro-
cesses for the synthetic process,
Gillette said, adding that 1.-The
amount of rubber available af-
ter a years time is SO small as to
bring about concern"
"The first thing we want to
determine is the demand for al
cohol for all purposes and whe-
ther WPB officials, in estimating
the demand, have envisioned
adequately the needs for syn
thetic rubber production and
projected plants to assure that
supply" he said.
Gillette related that Fraser
M. Moffat, former group chief
of the WPB's chemical branch,
told the committee in April that
an estiamted need OF 365, 000,-
OoO gallons of industrial alcohol
in 1913 included 100000 gal
Ions for rubber. This Gillette
said, represented substantially
the same amount of rubber as
would be obtained from petrol
cum.
With nearly nine months hav-
ing elapsed, Gillette continued,
ut is time to inquire what
their estimates are now, and
what production of alcohol is
anticipated from expanded dis
tillery production"
He said Fred Willkie, mana
ger of Seagram's Inc, Louisville,
and a brother of Wendell Will
kie, would be among those invit-
ed to testify on the problems
confronting alcohol manufact-
urers.

Pay-as-Xou-Go
Income Tax
CoNectionUrged
BY FRANCIS M. LIE MAY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 Up
Rep. Doughton (D-NC), chair
man of the powerful House
Ways and Means Committee,
said today he favored putting
Federal income tax collection on
a "pay-as-you-go" basis but ex-
pressed opposition to the Ruml
Plan which would wipe out a
years taxes to achieve that OBJ
jective.
A "pay-as-you-go" proposal
seems certain to come up when
the Ways and Means Committee
begins consideration of a new
tax bill shortly after Congress
convenes next month.
I'm view of the unprecedented
burden on the Federal Treasury
in war time" Doughton said of
the Ruml plan, Il cannot see
how we can erase several bill
lions of dollars the taxpayers
owe the government on their in
dividual incomes for any one
year.
THE nations financial integ-
rity must be maintained. I think
that in protecting the credit Of
my government l am protecting
myself, my family, and all of the
people"
Under the plan advanced by
Beardsley Ruml, chairman of
the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York, income taxes on the
previous years earnings would
be wiped out and payments
would be made on the current
years taxes through weekly or
monthly deductions from an in
dividual's earnings. Special pro-
visions would be made for bust
nessmen and others whose in
comes were not in the form Of
regular salary checks.
