Victory Is Certain

The combined efforts" of the
United Nations assure victory and
the liberation of all oppressed peo-
pies under a just and enduring
peace" President Roosevelt declared
today in message to the Polish
government on the anniversary of
the German attack on Poland.

country, I express to you on behalf
Of American people and myself the
deep admiration felt by freedom
loving peoples for the courage, for
titude and indomitable spirit shown
by your countrymen during this
trying period.
THE forces of ruthless aggression
unleashed by Hitler three years ago

ing might of all the United Nations.
Their combined efforts in the COM
mon cause to which Poland is max
ing such contributions assure VIC
tory and the liberation of all op-
pressed peoples under just and
enduring peace"

To Dodgers, Mats
GET Southerner
Pitcher to Report in
New Uniform at
Pittsburgh Tomorrow

Pitcher Buck NeWsom has been
sold to the Brooklyn Dodgers, it
was announced this afternoon by
President Clark Griffith of the

aside his Washington uniform i'm
mediately and report to the Dodgers
in Pittsburgh tomorrow. it was
stated.
Earlier in the day the Mats had
sold Roy Cullenbine, outfielder, to
the Yanks on waiver. The Yanks
lost Tom Heinrich, right fielder, to
the Coast Guard.
Newsom was acquired this spring
and has won II games and lost II
during the season. He came to the
Mats from Detroit. which club was
on the point of waving him out of
the American League when Grifi1th
bought him.
The terms on which the Senators
acquired Newsom were not dis
closed. It was indicated Grifiith had
paid considerably more than the
waiver price of $500. Newsom's S
salary with Washington was ap-
proximately $4,000.
Kraus Is a left-hander. He came
from the Piedmont League this
year and was farmed out by
Brooklyn to Montreal. He will join
the Senators when the international
League season closes in few weeks.

sons, but slumped badly last year.

wounded and two of the planes
four motors were put out of ac-

The mission was undertaken Au-

which were attacked by formation
Of from 20 to to 80 German planes.
In the ensuing combat three enemy

During this combat, however, the re-

and hearts, tor the fierce test Of
battle.
That remarkable progress has
been achieved in this science can
be attested by those of our enemies
who have faced our men in battle.
But this progress in prevention and
cure must not be limited to the
armed forces. because of the simple
fact that our whole population is
involved In winning this total war.
There are today far too many cas-
ualties among our civilian popula-
ton. The number of fatalities from
automobile accidents last year was
40,000. How many of these deaths
were preventable? The number Of
people injured in such accidents was
almost million and half.
In industry last year the number
of fatalities from accidents was
19,200. How many of these deaths
were preventable? The number of
people injured in such accidents was
considerably in excess of 2,0O0, 900,
including over 100000 permanent
QlSaDluLleS.
Among those who have been killed
or disabled were men and women
who could have helped to build
planes, tanks, ships and guns-who
could have served in civilian defense
or IN many other essential services.
AS a result of industrial accidents
alone, quite apart from those which
were fatal, the time lost last year
reached the almost incredible total
of 1000 900 man days.
1t is not only our enemies who kill
valuable Americans. Carelessness in
driving on the highways, or in the
operation of machines, in factories
can cost us many. lives needed by our
country in using every resource most
effectively.

Less than a year later, men of

Where is the United States Navy?
It is there where it has always

and whenever we find him.
Battles cannot be fought and won

Forces Striking Together.
Today, in distant places, we are
fighting battles the like Of which
have never before been known. In
the Southwest Pacific, the ships and
the planes of our Fleet, and the long
range bombers of our Army, are
striking at the enemy from widely
separated bases-and striking to-
gether. To carry such battles to
successful conclusion, men who fight
on land and in the air must work in
perfect unison with men who fight
above the sea and on the sea and
under the sea.
Such warfare requires men of ex-
traordinary physical alertness as
well as exceptional daring A split

vidual may cost innumerable lives.

The Senate Finance Committee
voted today to retain most of the
House schedule of corporation
taxes in the new revenue bill, in
cluding a 80 per cent excess
profits levy and combined rate of
45 per cent on normal and surtax
income.
The committee voted, II to 8, for
the IS per cent rate after it had
rejected, 13 to 6, a motion by Sena-
tor Bailey, Democrat, of North Caro-
lima, to cut this to 40 per cent.
The Treasury had proposed that the
combined rate be made SIS per cent.
Would Reduce Revenue.
Approving the rates established by
the House for corporations with
$25 900 annual income or less, the
committee voted, 9 to 6, to insert
new Treasury proposal by which
no corporation would pay more than
80 per cent of its net excess profits
tax income in taxes to the Govern
ment.
While this would reduce the
amount OF potential revenue, Chair
man George of the committee said
a net increase of approximately
$50, 100000 would be afforded in re-
ceipts from corporations by reduc-
tion Of the fiat excess profit tax
exemption of $4,000 voted by the
House to 5000.
Thus a corporation which had
earnings high enough to reach the
excess profits brackets could sub
tract only 5000, as it may do under
the present law, before it figured its
excess profits liability.
IL Pct. Credit Studied.
The House had increased this
cushion provision after the Ways
and Means Committee was told that
the higher rates imposed in the bill
would work hardships on many war
growth corporations.
Senator George said the commit
tee still had before it a Treasury
proposal for IL per cent credit of
all taxes paid by corporation for
port-war rebate of debt deductions.
He indicated the group expected to
act on this proposal later in the
day.
The committee hopes to complete
action today on the corporation
schedule and turn its attention to-
morrow to the proposed new spend
ing tax, which was thrown into the
tax picture yesterday"
