minced no words in saying so to Speaker Sam Rayburn and Ma jority Leader John Mccormack when the two leaders called at the White House last week.
 Charges that he was trying to unsurp the poWers of Cong ress were silly, the President said. Nor was he attempting to dictate to Congress in issuing the October l uItimatum. He said he wanted only to impress on Congress and the nation the crying need of acting quickly to halt inflati0nary price trends.
 As Commander-in-Chief, he shared with the legislative branch the responsibility of maintaining sound wartime economy, the President told the leaders, and therefore felt it his duty to speak out.
 Rayburn and Mccormack replied that criticism of the imitation message was voiced by only 8 small minority of members in both dOuSGS,. 1IlOSL Ol W1lOA1l 4ldO UcCA against the President in the past. They emphasized the belief that there would be little if any oppos- ition to speedy adoption of parity ceiling legislation before October 1.
 'It's all right to be critical for a day." Mccormack remarked, and that's all this was-a tenn 'porary blOwup. The great ma jOrity of members in the House are solidly behind you and are ready to cooperate in every way they can to curb imitation. They realize that we need aggressive leadership to win this war;" GREEK MEETS GREEK
 An interesting situation exists behind the scenes among Greek American citizens, which has an important bearing upon American policy toward the occupied coun- tries. It is the question of fascism vs democracy-a problem also

NOW IS THE TIME
(Boston Post)

(BoSton PoSt)
 Out of the welter of confusion centering about New England's heating problems for the coming winter, one thing can be accepted as certain now, and that is that fireplaces, portable stoves and other auxiliary heating means will be used to an extent unknown in this gen. eration. Tn the case of long idle or little used flreplaces 1t is im- perative that steps be taken in the immediate days ahead to make cer- tain that hazards be eliminated.
 The present time affords an oJ- portunity to effect that elimination and to put heating plants generally in safe repair Not to make use of this period can well result in trouble and even tragedy later on. Even emergency repairs or adjustments may be difficult or impossible in the dead of winter.

Overcrowding of busses, particularly during peak hours or the morning ana late afternoon, is obviously a problem that defies satisfactory solution. AS more cars are garaged this fall the busSes Will probably serve greater number of pa irons. Now's the time for the formation of neighborhood walking clubs, which can flourish through fair weather and 1oul. The art of walking is one to be encour- aged.

BOND BUYERS COULD COLLECT

GUILD COLLECT
 If Doakes had spent an amount equal or exceeding all of his 25 per cent credit on war bonds, say, he could get it all back immediately. If he spent less, he could get back what he spent, but would have to wait until after the war for the balance.
 This particular tax, it is eSti- mated, would raise $3,650, ,O0O, 900 next year, and would eliminate a similar 5 per cent withholding tax now included in House bill.
 Altogether, 1t seems a pretty painless way for Uncle Sam to raise additional revenue, since it's really a blood brother to war bonds in putting aside some funds for the future.
 Our Brazilian nejghbors haven't been at war very long, but ac- cording to Ambassador Carlos Martins, they've one wartime wrinkle that neither allies nor axis have hitherto employed-a para chute nurse corps. That's right. The Brazilian Florence Nightingale leaps from the plane, jerks the ripcord, and floats down to her prospective patient.
 BOY BIRTH RATE RISES
 Almost since the first cave dweller took his club and went out to do bat tie with his neighbor over the hill, nature has compensated for man power losses by raising the male birth rate in wartime For centuries this surplus of boy births in times of conflict has been marked.
 Various reasons for this rphe- nomenon have been advanced. When the world was much younger, su- pernatural powers were supposed to have sponsored the male birth in- crease a belief still somewhat widely accepted by the common man. Science, up to now, has sug- gested that such increases were the product of a vaguely defined law of compensation.
 World War II is no exception to the old theory. Birth statistics from several countries indicate an excep- tional increase in male rates. And recently Swedish professor, Gun mar Dahlberg of the Race Biological Institute at Uppsala, has come forth with a pretty clear-cut explanation of why more boys than girls are born in wartime.
 In normal times, the professor says, pregnancies average some 12O male to each 100 female However, about twice as many male embryos are lost through miscarriages as are female embryos. This reduction in actual male birth cuts the relationship to approxi- mately 105 boys to each 100 girls.
 For some reason, wartime re- duces the number of miscar- riages, as well as the number of births among the working classes. The result is certain displace- ments pointing to an increased number of boy births. Or so says Professor Dahlberg, whose statis- tic apparently prove it.

 Here is how the proposed addi- tional 5 per cent victory tax, ap- proved by the Senate Finance Conn mittee, will work if the tax becomes official for 194S.
 On Jan. l, 1943, Joe Doakes' em- ployer would deduct per cent from his weekly pay check, over and above his exemption of $12 a week. Saying that DoakeS made $50 a week, the employer would calculate 5 per cent on $Ss. That comes out $1.90 ped week.
 At the end of the year, Doakes' boss would have escrowed $98.8O as advance payment on Joe,s victory tax liability. This is calculated thus: Doakes' annual salary is $260O, and his victory tax exemption is $624, or 52 times $12. His victroy tax would thus be 5 per cent of the balance of $1976, or exactly $98.80.
 But Doakes doesn't have to worry about that $98.8O, since it has been pried more or less painlessly from his weekly wages. And he's really banking money. For instance:
 If Joe is bachelor, he is entitled to 25 per cent refund, or $24.70, fater the war. If he's married, he gets 8 40 per cent return, or $39.52.
 However, if Joe is thrifty soul, and buys war bonds or makes payments on previously contracted mortgages, life insurance or back debts during 1943, he can take all or part of his postwar credit right off the bat without waiting for the war to end.

Few people know also that Baruch has maintained an office in Washington and a corps of re- search people to do jobs like this for more than a year. His other jobs have not received publicity. But many times the President or some other high official will ask him to do an important job. And Baruch, without asking for clerks, StenographerS, or research experts, goes out and does 1t, paying the bill himself.
 Almost no man in Washington has contributed more to the war, in his own quiet way, than Baruch.
 NOTE: Jesse Jones began shin- ing up to Baruch even before 'Berny" was publicly named as rubber chief. Despite this, the Baruch report is considered the most caustic criticism of public official ever issued in Washington. The only thing Baruch omitted was Jesse'S name.
 KEBUFFED RUSSIANS
 One barb Baruch leveled at Jones-Without mentioning names was the fact that Jesse's Rubber Reserve ignored the offer of the Russian Government to send ex- perts and formulas regarding sym thetic rubber. Baruch called this 'tinexplicable administration" and said:
 Had the offer of the Soviet Government been accepted, 1t is conceivable that plants for pro- ducing ruber might well be on the way to completion"
 When the Washington Merry Go-Round on Aug. 31 reported ex- clusively that the Russians had offered their rubber information to Jones,s men last February, but they never even got the courtesy of reply, the story was denied.
 However, on August 19, this column further reported that Petroleum Coordinator Ickes read ing the column report, contacted the Russian Embassy personally and asked if they would still give their rubber advice. Ambassador Litvinoff cabled Moscow and re- piled one day later in the affirma- tive.
 Afterward, however, 1t was nec- essary for Ickes to submit the matter to the State Department, and as of today, unless the State Department has acted in the past few hours, it has not yet cleared up the matter.
 As the Baruch report points out: "TO date we have obtained no detailed information as to the Russian experience. We feel this information should still be obtained"
 SUBMISSIVE DEMOCRATS
 Harry Oliphant, old-line Demo- crat and former member of the Oklahoma legislature, came to Washington to take civil service job, arriving the day after Roose- welt pardoned Earl Browder, head of the Communist party.
 When Oliphant filled out the civil service application, 1t asked the question: "Are you mem- ber of any organization that advocates overthrow of the Government of the United Etates?"
 He wrote this answer: "Yes, the Democratic Party" "A TEMPORARY BLOWUP"
 The President was plenty unified by those dictator" charges hurled at him by Congressional critics, following his blunt warning that he would fix parity ceilings on farm prices himself unlesss Cong- ress acted by october l. And he

COLUMBUS, O.-The famed
Curtiss Helldiver dive bomber is
now in mass production at the
Columbus plant of the Curtiss-
Wright Corporation.
Red Hulse, Curtiss' chief test
pilot at Columbus, put initial
production model through it's
maiden flight several weeks ago.
Thousands of employees watched
the flight, and thousands more
are expected to be employed to
build the many dive bombers for
the U. S. Navy.
Described as the worlds best
dive bomber" by Rear Admiral
John H. Towers, chief of the Bu-
reau of Aeronautics, U. S. Navy,
in dedicating the plant last win
ter, the Helldiver is powerful
mid-wing two-place monoplane.
The bomber has been heralded
as far superior to the Nazi Stu
ka dive bomber, and is said to be
capable Of a very high speed and
able to carry a bomb load larger
than any dive bomber now in ser
vice.
J. A. Williams, general mana
ger of the Columbus plant, told
employees at the "home of the
Helldivers" that they were not
"sideline observers" in the war.
"You and | are vital parts and
the ultimate success may depend
on how we'll you and I do our
jobs" he said with great seri-
BUSINESS.
From cities, small towns and
farms throughout Ohio, have
come the men and women who
are making the Helldivers. They
with thousands yet to be hired
will build many Of these planes
to- give the U. S. Navy an air
force which will be unchallenged
throughout the world.
The Helldiver is one of two
types of Navy planes being con-
structed at the Columbus plant.
The other is the important Sea-
gull scout t-observation plane,
fastest battleship or cruiser-bas-
ed plane in the world.
The Helldiver was designed for
aircraft carrier operation but can
also be land based.

New Catholic
Cemetery Site
Is Selected

Father John j. Slattery an
nounced this week the purchase
of ITO acres five miles north
of Newark on the Mt. Vernon
road to be used for a new Cath
olic cemetery to be known as
St. Joseph's cemetery.
Beautifully situated on level
ground with hills rising in scenic
beauty on two sides, the new site
is on the farm of Thomas s..
Hickinbotham. Tests made show
sand and gravel at a depth of
four and one-half feet, assuring
an absence of water from all
graves, and drainage in general
is adequate. This point, it is an
nounced, was a determining fac
