fires buildings and fuel tanks, soon
the issue is joined in swinging guns,
heavy bombardment and rocking
conclusions. The daring japanese
are seen catapulting into the sea,
some meeting their death in flaming
ruins on the sand dunes. Your blood
will surge faster when you watch
beloved Old Glory run up on the
mast during the smoke of battle.
There are surging flashes OF the
faces of the American fighters, and
through the bedlam of sound and
dense black fumes are lightning
flashes of action caught by the
cameras from odd angles. The epi-
logue, after the guns have been
silenced, pictures the wounded being
conveyed to hospitals, and those who
made the supreme sacrifice being
appropriately inferred with service
requiem.
Much of the action is heightened
in emotional impact by stirring bat
tie songs Of the military, the Ma
tional Anthem and the victory
hymn, Onward Christian Soldiers.
AS documentary of sea action that
made glorious naval history, "The
Battle of Midway" provides a record
that every true American should see

HOLLYWOOD.-On the heels OF
President Roosevelt's decision to
limit automobile travel to 5000 miles
annually, film studies and the work
ers who toll within them have turned
from tire to road map scrutiny. They
came upon a transportation prob
lem far graver perhaps than that
faced by any group Of citizens in
the United States.
Los Angeles vast and scattered
area blankets 451 square miles Of
fiat and rolling territory. Studios
are widely separated. For instance,
the distance from Warner Brothers,
in the Burbank Valley to Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer in Culver City,
registers 10 miles on any speedo-
meter. And no other city of COM
parable size has less to offer in
public transportation service.
In Los Angeles one waits from
twenty minutes to one hour on a
corner for street cars. Bus service
Is even less adequate. If one is
fortunate enough to catch a car
or bus he rides endless miles on a
sightseeing tour. Anyone without
an automobile in Los Angeles has
been a patient soul indeed.
What will the film studios do to
keep their sound stages properly
manned for the production of pic
lures?
Frankly, we have no idea how
the problem can be met out here
said one of Hollywoods leading
studio executives. Most of our
workers live far from the lot. 1t
would be easy to say, have them
live in close. But where would they
find living accommodations? Every
apartment, every hotel and private
residence within close proximity to
the studios is occupied today.
"One possible solution looms. We
have been told that motion pictures
are an essential industry. If this
is true, we may be able to put into
operation a SUFFICIENT number OF
buses to call for players and work.

What the story tries to tell is
how Aunt Tish and her two amiable
antique friends fail at match-m max

They try hard, but young love has
other ideas. These two romantic
inferludes might have been inter-

comic veneer, but leaping from an
attic mood to the tragic is more
than an energetic cast can accom-

Col Samuel H. Fisher, state de-

the chief wardens as follows:
we have reached the point where
the air raid warden system is pretty
generally set up throughout the
state, but it. is needless to say
that there are spots where the Or
ganization is not fully effective,
and We are trying to bring all Of
the warden service up TO the same
high standard.
ITO accomplish this. am asking
a number of the chief air raid war
dens about the state to act as liai
son officers and meet and advise
with the chief air raid wardens of
other towns of their several vicini-
ties so as to give them the benfeit
of the enthusiast and ability cf
those whom We are asking to per-
form this service. In other words,
I should like t o have you serve
with the other eight wardens so
chosen as sort OF general staff
with whom We can advise and dis
cuss matters of general policies
pertaining to air raid warden PROB

Income Tax
No. 80
DEDUCTION FOR DEPRECIA-
TTnN

The Internal Revenue Code pro-
vldeS for reasonable allowance for
the exhaustion, wear and tear OF
property used in the trade or bust
ness, including a reasonable allow
ance for obsolescence." For convent
ence, such allowance usually is re-
ferred to as depreciation.
In claiming a deduction for depre-
citation several fundamental princi-
|ples must be observed. The deduc-
ton must be confined to property
ACTUALLY used in trade, business, or
profession, and to improvements on
real property, other than property
used by the taxpayer as his personal
residence. In general, it applies to
the taxpayers capital assets-build-
ingS, machinery, etc the cost of
which cannot be deducted as bust
ness expense.
A lawyer, doctor, OF other profess
sional man may not charge off as
a current expense the cost of a Ii
brary used wholly in his profession,
this being capital expenditure and
the library a capital asset; but he
may deduct an allowance for depre-
citation based upon the useful life of
the library. If part of professional
mans residence is used by him ex-
clusively for office purposes, a pro-
portionate amount of the deprecia-
ton sustained may be deducted.
based generally on the ratio of the
number of rooms used for such pur-
poses to the total number of rooms
in the building. The same principle
applies if taxpayer rents to others
a portion of his residence. Under
such conditions, however, the tax
payer must include in his gross in
come the rentals received.
