serious effect.
Over most Of the continental
area of North America it would
have no special effect, but in our

combat malaria with quinine and
in combat troops IN the Canal Zone
and in the tropics anywhere the
possibility of a malaria epidemic
is very imminent and it might be
very serious if quinine were not
available.
Dutch Monopoly
The Dutch handled the quinine
monopoly as a monopoly, but with
very enlightened humanism. They
did not allow the cultivation of
cinchona trees, from which quinine
is obtained, to die out, as happened
in Ceylon where it was abandoned
for more profitable crops.
In 1913 the Dutch Government
issued an agreement which had to
do with the regulation of prices
and the distribution of quinine
which has resul ed in a very even
distribution throughout the civil
lized world at a very fair price. 1t
is hardly possible to suppose from
what we know of the japanese that
they will continue SO humanitari-

No Shortage Imminent
However, the quinine situation

source is quite favorable for sew

years ago the Government began

Army and Navy on a very large
scale. The amount Of this is a MIL

10 Ask
Income TaxCut
0f25% in State
Maryland Realty
Levy Lowest in 81
Years, He Says
b! the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 17.-Gov.
OConor announced yesterday that
in his fiscal plan to be submitted
to the next Legislature he would
call for a 20 to Is per cent reduc-
ton of income taxes.
He also would ask, he said, for
the freezing" of a "goodly" sum
for postwar projects and the use
of an additional sum for present
emergencies, including salary ad-
justments.
Now that the States financial
position is the strongest in its his
tory" Gov. OConor said, "a reduc-
ton in income taxes can be made.
- Already a 40 per cent reduc-
ton in real estate taxes has been
effected which places the State tax
rate at the lowest In 50 years. Not
only is 1t my intention to maintain
the State rate at this low point,
but it. will eventually be reduced
further"
Postwar Needs Studied.
Gov. O'Conor said his program
contained features of proposals
made by State Treasurer Hooper S.
Miles and DR.. Abel Wolman, chair
man of the State Planning Com
mission. DR., Wolman suggested the
freezing of the States surplus for
postwar construction" Gov. O'Con-
or said, and Mr.. Miles outlined a
three-point program as his concep-
tion OF the most practical plan"
1--WE will have over $4,000, 900 as
a State surplus at the end of next
month when the fiscal year close;,"
Gov. O'Conor said. This unprec.-
dented amount would have been
increased by $4,000, 900 if we were to
take into account this sum which
was set aside to effect the real
estate reduction for both this year
and next year."
Computations are already under
way, he continued, to determine how
much of the surplus should be set
aside as working fund as well as
for war emergencies and salary ad-
justments.
Military Outlays Offset.
incidentally" he added, "it is
interesting to note that the unex-
pected costs thrust upon the State
for military operations since Pearl
Harbor will be more than offset by
savings in the various depa. tments
during the present fiscal year."
Gov. O. Conor credited the States
strong financial condition" to ad-
ministration, that tnere was a re-
fusal to borrow for operating ex-
penses, and that the State has more
than lived within its income"

flremen. It's effectiveness is evident
in the fact that one auxiliary, Meyer
Weiner of Greenbelt, Md, has al
ready passed the civil service
exams and been admittM into the
regular Fire Department. He is
stationed at No. "a engine COM
pany, 3702 Georgia avenue NV.
Chief Murphy insists that the
auxiliaries be as thoroughly trained
as possible.
CO. ordination Vital.
1T is necessary" he told Fire De-
partment officers, that the aux
iliary force and regular Fire De-
partment function as closely co-or-
dinated groups" That they have
done so is apparent from the un-
qualified praise given BY each group
for the cooperative attitude of the
other.
To make sure that all training Of
auxiliaries would be uniform. all
officers of the department were
trained in the proper method of in
struction. Captains, lieutenants
and battalion chiefs were thorough
ly drilled before they, in turn,
passed on their knowledge to the
auxiliaries.
There's practically nothing about
a fire department that an auxiliary
doesn't know. He can describe all
the intricacies OF the call board at
which are recorded the movements
Of all fire apparatus in the city;
he knows how to hoist a ladder,
lay a line, use a pompier ladder,
jump into net, split a coupling
He can drag a hose line up
ladder without getting tangled up
and he can play a stream into a
building without letting the hose
kick him down. He knows how to
roll hose after it has been used;
what to do with every bit of para
phernalia that adorns ladder trucks,
pumping engines and hose wagons.
Above all, he has learned the i'm
portance of prompt and efficient
action.
Understands Theory, Too.
He knows and understands the
theory of fighting fires. The prac-
tice he is getting, more and more.
For example, a regular fireman
scarcely puts in more time than
Abe Kaplan, of I'LL Seventh street
NV, who is salt salesman during
the day. Mr.. Kaplan spends as
much as 80 hours a week at No. 2

Rent Control Offices
In Nearby Areas
Flooded by Forms
Postal EmpIoye coI!opses
Under Rush Before
DeodIine Saturday

Rent control officials in nearby
Maryland and Virginia today were
flooded with landlord registration
forms after last-minute rush be-
fore Saturdays midnight deadline
during which an employe accepting
returns in the Hyattsville Post
Office collapsed.
James w. Woogerd, area rent di-
rector, said no estimate can yet be
made of the number of returns
made in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties. He expected a
truck load" of forms to come into
his Office at 216 Carroll avenue, Ia
koma Park, today.
Mr.. Woogerd said Friday that
only about Is per cent of the ap-
proximately 27,000 blanks distrib-
uted In the two counties had been
returned.
Miss Pauline Phillips, who was ac-
cepting forms at the Hyattsville
Post Office Saturday, collapsed un-
der the rush and had to be relieved,
according to Mr.. Woogerd.
Both Mr.. Woogerd and I. Chance
Buchanan, area rent director for
Arlington and Fairfax Counties and
Alexandria, said hundreds of forms
were coming in bearing Saturday
postmarks. They explained that
these returns will not be listed as
late.
They added that any action that
may be taken with regard to late
returns is a matter for the OPA
to decide.
In the Arlington Office at 1924
North Highland street, approximately
1,200 registrations were received Sat-
urday between 12:45 pm. the days
regular closing hour, and midnight,
Mr.. Buchanan declared, adding that
he could not estimate the total 1e-
ceived.
A similar rush was experienced
by employees in the Alexandria Office
IN the Donophin Building, King and
Columbia streets, he added. Heavy
mail containing thousands of addi-
tlonal forms were being received
today at both Offices.

Officials Will Get
Names Of Bootleg Gas
Suspects Today
District Auditor to See
Keech on Steps to
Prosecute Seven

District Auditor A. Ray Pilkerton
was to submit to the Commission
ers today the names of seven gaso-
line dealers suspected of partici-
pating in the distribution of bootleg
gasoline here.
The District official also was
scheduled to confer with Corpora
ton Counsel Richmond B. Keech on
possible steps to be taken in prose-
cutting the dealers
Approximately 10000 gallons of
gasoline are believed to have been
brought into the city in trucks bear
ing no Identification markings.
The investigation began when
District authorities received reports
of motorists being able to buy all
the gas they wanted even without
the use of ration cards. The Dis
trict Building ordered police to in
vestigate, and on Saturday a report
was sent to Mr.. Pilkerton by Chief
of Detectives Richard Mansfield.
According to Mr.. Pilkerton, the
suspected dealers may be prosecuted
on charges of failing to pay the Dis
trict gas tax, failing to pay the Dis
trict license fee for importing gas,
and failing to display identifying
signs on trucks.
Maximum penalty for violation
of any of these charges is $500 or
one year in Jail, or both.
Mr.. Pilkerton said the investiga-
ton indicated that most of the boot
Logging was being done within the
District and that only a small por-
ton of the gas was being smuggled
into the city.
Police also are investigating the
recent theft of large numbers of
gas ration cards here.
