THE pressure Of total war is making
l. itself felt more and more in the
everyday concerns of life.
Taxes are on the way up; rationing
has begun; price ceiling has been
placed on long list of commodities;
because of the demands Of the war ma
chine for steel. copper, tin, rubber and
other essential materials, an end has
been put, or is fast being put, to the
manufacture of scores of things that
have helped to make our comfortable
way Of living.
More restrictions are coming.
THE blunt fact Is" said the President
to the American people in his radio
address April %, that every single per-
son in the United States is going to be
affected . Some Of you will be affected
more directly by one or two of these re-
strictive measures, but all of you will be
affected indirectly by all of them"
In the outpouring Of orders from
Washington, there is daily evidence Of
the truth Of the Presidents words
Lot Easy Compared With British.
1t may be useful to review what has
been done here and what is In pros
pect, and to draw a comparison be-
tween conditions here and In Great
Britain.
How comparatively easy is our lot win
be seen.
Take first the vitally important mat
ter of taxes.
Heavy though the personal tax load
in the United States, 1t is far heavier in
Great Britain-though the disparity will
be greatly lessened by the passage of
the new tax bill now under considera-
ton. Lord Halifax, the British Ambas-
sador, put the current differences vividly
in a recent address. The Walt Disney
tax film, he pointed out, showed Donald
Duck paying the Treasury s13 on his
income of s2,501, whereas If Donald had
lived in England he would have paid
s552 on the same amount. The AM
bassador added, 1T is all but impossible
for any one in Great Britain today to
enjoy an income larger than $25,000
after tax has been paid"
The British tax taps the pocketbooks
of single persons having an income as
low as $40 Childless married couples
are liable to the tax on an income OF
$500. In the United States the present
exemptions are $3.50 for single persons
and 1,500 for married. Great Britain
grants q 5000 allowance for each child;
the comparable figure here is $400.
Comparative Tables.

which the British and American rates

HEALTH EXAMS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-More
than 100000 young people have been
given complete health examinations
since the National Youth Administra-
tion started it's health program in
September, 1941, NYA Administrator
Aubrey Williams announces.
While the primary objective of the
health program of the National Youth
Administration is to determine the fit
ness of young people to do various
kinds of work, many Incidental bene-
fits have accrued to youth as result,
the administrator said. Through the
utilization of community resources
and through the cooperation of pri-
vate medical practitioners many young
people have been given the opportunity
to correct the health defects from
which they were suffering. For high
percentage of the young people, the
examination under the NYA program
is the first they have received.
"The work that the National Youth
Administration has been doing in con-
nection with the health of young peo-
pie is especially important during this
period of national emergency" Will
liams said.

Life Is a Dream

Calderon's brilliant Spanish classic,
Life Is a Dream" will enjoy one of
its rare productions in this country
tomorrow evening when Catholic
University's busy department OF
speech and drama draws open the
curtain for its second production of
the winter season.
Rapidly achieving Nationwide
theatrical fame for its sympathetic
and colorful revivals of the great lit
erary classics, the c. U. group has
merited enthusiastic praise from
Washington critics as we'll as from
the ever-increasing Washington au-
diences.
This latest attempt, Life Is

developed age OF Spanish chivalry,
serves as perfect foil for Walter
Kerr's imaginative staging tech

Knight Of the Burning Pestle"
gained for it the title of one of the

latest C. U. effort. Settings are by

Chopin Recital
By Merson
Impressive
Pianist Presents
One of Series
OF Recifals
BY ELENA DE SAYN.

An impressive ll-Chopin recital
given by Miksa Merson, pianist, at
the Textile Museum last night gave
the artist another opportunity to
show his musical feeling, accom-
plished technique and freedom Of
expression.
Mr.. Merson, who, when a student,
enjoyed for period Of years LISTS
scholarship at the Budapest Con-
servatory and, since his debut in
Washington in 1929, acquired many
warm admirers, displayed last night
kinship with Chopin's music in
a taxing program. consisting of
prelude in c Sharp Minor, OPP. 49,;
Twenty Preludes, Op. 49," and
Twenty -four Etudes," by the great
Polish composer.
The famous preludes. number
Of which form part of many con-
cert programs, gain when heard as
a whole, their melodious character
stressed last night by the singing
qualities OF Mr.. Merson's touch.
Varied, as to length, exquisite in
pattern, delicate like painting. some
subtle, others bravura, they offer
infinite material for self-expression.
While taken too fast, at times, for
clarity or for minute shading, the
general impression Of Mr.. Merson's
performance was that Of artistic
ease and finish.
The sc tot less familiar "Etudes,
Op. TO-" and the brilliant execution
Of the popular masterpieces belong
Ing to OPP. IS. which include such
favorites as the Butterfly" study
or the etude on black keys"
brought an enthusiastic response
from a well-filled auditorium. The
pianist was rewarded by generous
applause after each section of his
program.
This was one of a series OF re-
citals planned for this season and
it would be interesting If Mr.. Mer-
son should continue to devote his
programs to one master or one type
OF compositions His sterling mu-
steamship and pianistic talent would
warrant such an undertaking and
assure, Of an Illuminating reading.
