Saving
Levy
Drawn
Senate Takes Is+
Step to Compel
More Bond Buying

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is.
(UP) - The senate finance
committee laid the ground
work today for a compulsory
savings-tax program to fol-
low closely after final enactment
of the pending tax bill.
After making last minute changes
in the tax bill, including five
per cent reduction in the corpora
tion surtax, the committee set a
new deadline-Dec. for the re-
port of a joint committee created
by the bill to study compulsory saw
ings and report to congress. 1t orig
inally had fixed Jan. II as the date
by which the study was to be COM
pleted.
| Chairman Walter F. George, D.,
Ga, commented significantly that
compulsory savings cannot be con-
sidered separately from taxation. He
said the date had been moved up
at the request of treasury officials.
WARNING
Sen Robert A. Taft, r., O.. who
sponsored the amendment calling
for the study of compulsory savings,
said he interpreted the move as in
dicating another bill soon after the
pending bill is disposed of. He agreed
that the problem had to be ap-
preached through taxation but said
it did NOT necessarily involve ex-
tensive changes in the existing tax
structure.
You probably have no constitu-
tional right to compel people to
save" Taft said. You must tax
them and then give them bonds.
But there are many ways of doing
it,
He said one way might be through
imposition of a 10 per cent gross
income tax, with the taxpayer get
ting bonds in return for what he
paid. Another might be to impose
a Is per cent tax on income in
excess of that received by tax
payer during a previous year-in
effect, an excess profits tax on in
dividuals-again giving bonds in

Gordon Scriven, county bond
chairman, said that gigantic rally
at which Miss Rogers and possibly
one or two male stars will appear
will be held. The rally cannot be
held in any motion picture house
or any privately owned auditorium,
Scriven said, and, therefore, will
probably be held in Ell Centro's S
municipal stadium or at the I'M
perial county fairgrounds in I'M

charge will be made for the priv
ilege of seeing the stars, Scriven
said.

A terse warning to those lucky
enough to be granted an order by
the Ell Centre price and rationing
board to have tires retreaded or
recapped was issued Tuesday after
the boards regular meeting of the
day before.
The board warned that tires de-
clared by an inspector to be ready
for recapping should not be driven
upon until the resurfacing has been
done. Should they be used and
worn past the point where they
may be repaired the owner will
be deemed guilty of wanton destruc~
ton of rubber and will forfeit all
claim to the tires for the duration.
What will be done to the tires
should claim have been given up by
owners was not made clear but 1t
was presumed that they may be
turned over to the current rubber
and scrap drive.
The actual number of orders to
have tires recapped or retreaded
during the past week was very low

Vi Gilc wal D liCICSoG ilSllCIllS.
Russian dispatches reported that
Soviet air and cavalry reinforce
ments have arrived on the scene
at a moment when a general Soviet
withdrawal under continued air and
land pressure seemed imminent.
Russian planes, Moscow reported,
were unable to challenge the Nazi
air superiority but afforded suffi-
cient cover to enable the Red army
troops to hold their lines except at
one point on the southwestern ap-
proaches to the city.
Available maps did not indicate
which railroad station was referred
to in the Nazi claim. Stalingrad has
at least three railroad stations, one
of them in the western suburbs
about seven miles from the Volga.
While the tone of Moscow dis
patches was slightly more encourag-
ing than for several days, they left
no doubt that the Russians we're
under the most critical pressure to
hold off full-scale Nazi attack
now being directed on a semicircle
from the northwest to the south
west of the city.
DIFFICULTIES GROW
The German advance to the Vol
ga or close enough to the river to
bring transport under artillery fire
and Nazi control of the north
south railroad, Moscow indicated, is
hampering efforts to bring fresh
troops and supplies up to the front.
However, London again reported
growing belief in Allied quarters
that the unprecedented Soviet re-
sistance at Stalingrad had twisted
Adolf Hitler's timetable. They sug-
gested that the Russians may have
delayed the Germans long enough
to make possible a damaging Allied
attack somewhere along the peri
pherT of Nazi power.
The Egyptian front-dormant for
a week since Marshal Erwin Rom
mel's futile attempt to pierce Brit
ish defenses-showed signs of awak-
ening.
Allied planes ranged over the
desert smashing at Rommels trans
port, communications and supplies
in what was described as an effort
to impede Nazi efforts to reorganize
and replace the losses of the futile
Alamein attack
AMERICANS PARTICIPATE
American medium and heavy
bombers participated generally in
the action which included a foray
against Tobruk by light naval ano
land forces.
In the Pacific little action was
reported but Rear Admiral w. H
Blandy, American naval ordnance
chief, reported that American forces
now hold the balance of striking
power in the western Pacific.

Tuesday by hunting trip.

each man.
Heinecke saw a dove coming. 1t
was too far off fer a good shot
He was afraid not to shoot for fear
he would not see another. He was
afraid to shoot because he might
miss. He finally shot and the dove
tumbled to the earth. In high glee
he started after it. just as he
neared it, the dove began to run.
Heinecke hot footed it after the
running bird. He ran and the bird
ran. The bird always was ahead
Heinecke finally corralled it begged

triumphant Heinecke captured the
dove.
In the meantime Patton had shot

that an unidentified airplane flew
over the Mt. Emily. Ore, district,
and a japanese submarine was

rancher displayed two barley sacks
full of mullett.
The rancher said he was irrigat-

fish around in the burrows. So the
