Army to Commission
Medical Students

The Army announced today that
medical students who have COM
pleted advanced Reserve Officers
Training Corps courses, but have
matriculated at an approved med
ical college will be commissioned as
second lieutenantS and placed on
a deferred duty status until their
medical course is completed.
They will receive their commits
sions in the service in which they
receive their R. o. T. c. training,
rather than in the Medical Admin
istrative Corps. Students who have
completed all their training except
the required practical experience at
an Army service school will be re-
quired to attend such a school be-
fore entering the medical college
if possible. If that is impracticable
they will be commissioned in the
Medical Administrative Corps and
will be expected to qualify for COM
missions in the Medical Corps with
in year after graduation.

Treasury Experts
Strongly Oppose
Federal Sales Tax.
However, Doughton Says
Such q Levy Will Be
Weighed by Group
p, the Associated Press.

Ps the Associated Press.
Treasury experts laid down a
hammering barrage against a sales
tax today as the House Ways and
Means Committee sought to make
up a $4,000, 900, 900 deficit 1t already
has piled up against the admins
tration's revised ss,sOo,ooo,Ooo tax
goal.
Despite the prospective shortage,
the department statisticians re-
manned adamant against any form
Of sales tax, primarily on the
theory that 1t would bring dispro-
portionate hardships to the low
income families.
I'VE have argued against the
sales tax on its merits only thus
far" one of the experts said.
When we finish explaining the ad-
ministrative difficulties, some of the
members on the fence will change
quickly"
The Treasury staff attacked either
manufacturers wholesalers or
retail sales levy at an extraordinary
meeting of the committee last
night, with statements by Ran
dolph Paul, Secretary Morgenthaus
tax adviser, and James w. Martin,
University of Kentucky economist,
now a Treasury consultant.
Treasury to, Revise Estimates.
Members said that while the
Treasury originally held that a re-
tail sales tax would be the most
Objectionable form of any such levy,
Mr.. Paul refused to choose among
them last night and. in fact, Mr..
Martin said that from the admin
istrative standpoint a retail sales
tax would be the least objection
able.
The Treasury estimated two
months ago that per cent retail
sales tax, exempting Government
purchases. would produce $780,
600 900.
Having tentatively disposed of
new corporation and individual in
come tax proposals, the committee
has run squarely into the alterna-
tives of accepting Treasury recon-
mendations for increasing excise
taxes by more than $1,000, 900 900 or
adopting some form of sales tax.
Members said, meanwhile, that
the Treasury shortly would present
a sharp downward revision OF its
March estimates that its program
81 ,340,000,000 1t was learned that
one of the major changes would be
in Secretary Morgenthau's request
for a doubling of the present l12-
cent gasoline tax, which he said
would produce S242 100000.
Estate Tax Rates Retained.
Details of the Treasury presenta-
ton last night were not Immediately
available, but Chairman Doughton
of the committee told newspaper
men that Mr.. Paul had said a tre-
mendous increase in Treasury per-
sonnel would be required for admin
istration of a retail sales tax.
Mr.. Doughton said the committee
probably would discuss first the
Treasury's excise program, but he
added that it was absolutely Ger
tain that sales tax is going to be
considered by. the committee"
The committee yesterday decided
to reject Treasury proposal that
estate and gift taxes be increased to
produce $3.50, 100000
The members retained the present
rates, but previously agreed to the
Treasury's recommendation that a
uniform $6O,0OO estate tax exemp-
ton be substituted for the present
combined 100000 exemption-based
on 10000 of life insurance and
$4,000 of other real and personal
property.

age marriages, automobile accidents
nervous and physical ailments
yes, even an occasional suicide-can
result directly or indirectly from the
feeling that life is "blah."
But once you realize it, the rem
edy is simple. You must do some
thing different. find harmless way
of breaking into your routine. effect
a change of pace in your activities
and your interests.
Recently one of the popular mag
azines ran an amusing story built
around this idea. A girl with good
but unexciting job and a safe and
settled existence became so run
down and dispirited that she con-
suited a physician. He was smart
enough to sense the trouble, and
outlined a course of treatment
which consisted of doing a few diff
ferent things every day.
The girl started out merely by eat
ing foods which she had never eaten
before in restaurants which she had
never previously visited. She went
to work by different routes, visited
neighbors to whom she had hereto
fore only nodded, and generally
altered the small details Of her day.
to-day living. She called 1t "nerp-
ing" from the initials OF New Rou-
tine Project, and she found that 1t
worked marvelously.
Eventually this fictional heroine's
nerping led to a new job and hus-
band. Now, you may not want a
new job, nor husband, nor any
thing else 50 important. But II there
doesn't seem to be any zest or zing
In your life these days, it would be
smart move for you to try a little
nerping.
Another excellent means OF COM
batting boredom Is to develop a
hobby, if you don't already have
one, or to take up new one II the
one you have is growing slightly
stale. Your high school years are
the best of all times to cultivate a
hobby, but you can start one at any
age.
Get into a new activity, read a
few books of a type that you've
never before dipped into. join
different club, meet some new boys
and girls. Even If these changes
in your routine don't produce a
thrill at first, keep at it. Boredom
is an inner attitude. brought on by
dull repetition, and it can't always
be banished overnight. But even If
you have to pretend you're inter-
ested in something different at the
start, do it. Your artificial interest
will soon become real, and then
you'll no longer have that deadly
"Ho hum-so WHAT" feeling.

Dear Boys and Girls: You love the
Army and Navy and you are very
proud Of them. They are our own
brothers and cousins and neighbors.
They are the power of the Nation,
the power that protects you today.
These boys have given up all
they hoped for in life. They gave
up all you enjoy-your comfortable
home with its light at the switch,
water in the tap, its radio, the good
food mother cooks, the fun in the
evening, the dances and the movies
and the Ice cream sodas and the
best girls.
And they gave up their jobs, the
Jobs that meant the hope OF their
future-careers and homes and fam
lilies Of their own. That Is lot
to give up. isn't it?
These boys gave themselves to
the service for your sake. In re-
turn for that they get the high
honor of having done their duty
like men, like heroes, worthy OF
their country's love and praise.
They are going to be weary, lonely,
sick, suffering many long day and
night, but they will take 1t all in
their stride because through 1t they
will be thinking of you, "the kids"
back home, who are to carry on IN
their places.
Wouldn't you feel awful if you did
anything to hurt those boys?
wouldn't you feel ashamed to look
yourself in the eye if you wasted
one cent that you could save to
give them the food, the medicine,
the nurses, the guns and the planes
and the tanks and the ships they
needed for their job-and yours?
You would rather do without to
save 1t for them. Everybody knows
