. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTONe

and incomplete and maybe i'm
possible budget, but 1t will show
how this Victory tax thing will
work.
In the first place, the Victory
tax does not apply on the first
$12 of every workers weekly
wages. People who earn less
than $l2 a week don't have to
pay Victory tax. But when Jim
Dandy's. boss makes up the pay
roll each week, he will have to
subtract SIP from $50, which is
Jim's weekly pay rate. That
leaves $40. The Victory tax is
5 per cent of this $48, or $40 a
week, taken directly from Jim's
pay envelope before he gets a
look at it.
A CALCULATING FELLOW
For the year 1943, Jim's Vic
tory tax of $40 a week for So
weeks will amount to $124.80.
Jim himself will account for this
money when he makes his first
Victory tax return before March
Is, 1914, making his calcula-
tions somewhat as follows:
Having contributed this Vic
tory tax, Jim Is theoretically
entitled to certain postwar re-
funds. If Jim were single, he
would be entitled to a Is per
cent refund. Being married, he
gets more. On July /, 1943,
therefore, Jim should be re-
minded to count his. family, for
the computation of his refund is
to be determined by his marital
status on that date. Congress
probably didn't figure it out de-
liberately, but this gives a young
gal a Is per cent inducement to
be a June bride, for folks who
are married and living together
on July l, 1943, are entitled to
a 40 per cent refund.
But to get back to Jim Dandy.
Counting his family on July l.,
he learns that he has one Cd
wife. That entities him to 40 per
cent refund. They have two (2)
children. He gets az per cent re-
fund on each, or total of "A per
cent refund on the $124.80. This
is the sum which Jim's boss had
already taken from his pay en-
velope during 1943. Multiplying
it out, "A per cent of $l24.80
comes to $54.91, the amount of
the so-called postwar fund.
Does Jim get this refund and il
so, when and how? If Jim has no
insurance, no debts, and was buy
ing no war bonds, he could not
get this refund till after the war
is over.
GET 1T QUICK
But Jim may be dead by then,
so the thing for him to do is take
this refund as credit against his
income tax. To get this credit,
Jim must show that he has made
payments on insurance, paid off
debts, and bought war bonds to
an amount greater than $54.91.
In Jim's case, his 500 insurance
payment is enough to entitle him
to this credit, but he has in addi-
ton payments on the principal
of his mortgage amounting to
SIS a month or $3.50 a year, and
he has been buying war bonds
at the rate of Sc a week for So
weeks or 1912. The total is $500,
but as far as saving money on his
tax bill it is mostly window dres-
sing, for all it permits him to do
is get credit for his refund of
S54.91 now, instead of having to
wait till after the war is over to
collect.
The way Jim gets immediate
credit for his $54.9l is this: jim S

AMERICAN WAR PLANES

AMERICAN WAR PLANES
Evidence is accommodating that Anericon-mode
bonnbers and fighters really are good, and that the
violent criticism to which they were sub ected for
time erroneous.
It has been difficult to get at the truth because
SO many of the pertinent foots we're held to be mill.
toN secrets Some Of them unquestonoby should
not be discussed Others we're held back apparently,
through thot some excess Of secretveness which in
other fields and on other occasions has proved u'-
necessary, unjustfiobIe and hormfu to the notionoI
morale.
Now, stung by criticism, American bross hats
have permitted publication of doto comparable to
what the British never held back In the light Of that
information, experts oble to soy thot the later
American planes ore at Ieost good as their coun-
terports in England, Germany and japan.
IF our planes we're as bad as runnor sold, then we
could not help wondering whether pilots and their
crews were being destroyed wholesale. But the foet
is thot on every front our planes have taken toll OF
the enemy two, three and four to one.
American pilots are good. None are better. We
can be excused if we feel that quite SO good
But man for man, American flyers ore not three or
four times as good as Germon and japanese flyers
They are not enough better to inflict the damage
they have unless their planes we're substantially as
good as the enenys.
10 Th4n there wos the Unfortunate story-could it
hove originated with psychological soboteur?-thot
the British were trying to divert from the building
Ut Jorge lone-ronee planes that otter the war we
should not be in position to dominate the nternotion
al oirIones.
The focts, fortunately, dispel these wonders and
rurnors. They show that our planes we're designed
for protection Of country shut off from potential
mics by broad oceons while the British designed
for notion Just over the board fence from nternoton
al criminals
They show, oIso, that our older models were being
controsted with the newest British and German odop-
lotions, and did not show up WE'LL but thot model for
model and use for use, we now have planes at least
as good those Of any other country and in most in
stances better.
Apparently we did get away to slow stort, but
now have more than caught UP. Which is all to the
good.
THE PITY OF IT ALL
The full impact Of the trying days in which we
are living never hit US until, quite accidentally, we
stumbled on news item reporting Anne Shireys
100000 suit against the Charles B. Rogers Produc-
tions.
1t oppeors thot in picture Miss Shirley was
shown raising her skirt. Then came cut. In the
next scene nothing showed but legs And what legs!
Whot legs?
"Defendonts used double for Miss Shirley and
sold doubles legs were Of unfotterine dimensions,
belonging to former burlesque octress, and we're
more muscular and hof again os large plaintiffs

emily. is scored.
