BELOW QUOTA

War bond sales are not coming
close to meeting that quota now.
The big month was last January,
right after Pearl Harbor. Aroused
by angry patriotism, a lot of people
bought bonds. A lot more people
OF considerable wealth also bought
war bonds in January not only be-
cause of the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor, but, also, because
there is limit on the money which
any individual may invest in certain
treasury issues and those with am
pie surplus funds usually buy their
limit in the first month OF the
year.
Anyway, January sales of war
bonds were $1,000, 100000. Sales
have diminished month by month
thereafter to $530.500,000 in April.
Last May the treasury fixed a
monthly quota of $4,000, 100000 and
it was exceeded in that month by
$3460O,OO War bond sales began
to go up then and in July the
treasury fixed a monthly quota OF
S1,00,000,O00
That quota has not been met yet
and has been lowered twice.

BY LYLE c. WILSON

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11-UP)-
President Roosevelt's estimate of
Sl00. 100000, 600 as the 1943 cost of
war and government gave spectac-
ular emphasis today to treasury de-
mand for compulsory savings in ad-
dition to other unprecedented tax
alton.
Secretary of Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., accepted com
pulSory saving" as a proper deS-
cription of treasury objectives for
the first time in a press conference
in which he told questioners that
prevention of initiation was as vital
job for his department as financ-
ing the war.
Mr. Roosevelt'S SlC0,000,000 esti-
mate of l943 expenditures was bur-
led in his statements on prices and
initiation this week and was not
generally remarked. The sum is
doubt here that it will be raised and
fantastically large but there is no
spent on schedule.
METHOD DEBATED
Disagreement develops around
methods of raising the money anG
the extent to which it should come
from taxes, voluntary subscriptions
to government issues and compul-
sorry savings.
On last Jan. 5, Mr.. Roosevelt
told congress he planned to spend
$589270000 in the current fiscal
year which began last July l and
that in the 13 months beginning
last January he expected to spend
ST. COO, 100000. The treasury esti-
mates now that spending in the. II
months of this fiscal year will
amount to $1,000 100000 in tax rev.
enue in 1943 Congressional agree
ment to that sum remains TO be OBJ
tanned.
But if Congress enacts a $27,-
000,000000 tax bill including the
sum to be raised by compulsory saw
ings, the treasury would expect to
raise the remaining funds to be

INDIVIDUAL CASES

The stepping up of the intens-

we are engaged and the growing
need for enlarged forces makes it
clear that all young men fortunate
enough to have the physical and
mental qualifications to enable
them to serve their country in the
armed forces are destined for that
service" StimSon said.
However, the army probably will
continue to exercise individual dis
elimination in calling students, al
lowing some with special qualifi-
cations and taking strategic cours-
es TO stay in school. Students
might also be indicted at Is if the
selective service act is lowered.

 Flight A Lieut.. Dick Preston, who flew in rescue of the two other survivors who remained with the plane, received commentators for exemplary conduct and devotion to duty.
 US. Plane Aids
 It was a United States plane that spotted the ground signal, burning gasoline, after the party had been lost for nine days. An other plane dropped food and in- structions which ultimately led the fliers to a coastal settlement 30 miles away.
 A son was born to Bailys wife two days before the flight started
 Flight Sgt. R. Roberts, of Seat tie, and Flying Officer Peter Gault Of Montreal, were flown back by Lieut.. Preston.
 Corp. J. P. Donald, of New Vest minister, BC., was killed in the crash, and Aircraftsman J. Mac IntoSh, of Penticton, B.C., died try ng to ford a glacial stream.

The w ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMaJor Robert 8. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON: Those who con- tend that only military and naval men should run the war, and that Congress is interfering with the war effort, should study the report of the House Appropriations Com mittee, which last week voted out IA billion dollar naval approprla- tion bill, with not one dollar pro- vided for battleships. This was a big backstage triumph for certain far-sighted Congressmen, led by Senator Brewster of Maine.
 For four years, Brewster has vig- orously fought the battleship and demanded that the Navy build more airplanes-only to be overruled, un- til now, by the admirals.
 When the 1888 naval authoriza- tion bill came up it contained the huge total of $l00,000,000 for three new battleships plus a provision that the Navy could have no more than 5000 planes.
 Senator Brewster, then in the House of Representatives, vigorous ly opposed. He contended that the Navy should have more than 5000 planes, certainly should not be limited. He also argued that battle ships were out of date
 But Admiral Leahy, then chief of Naval Operations, disagreed He insisted that the battleship was not obsolete. He insisted so vigor- ously that the Naval Affairs Con- mittee sided with him and voted the authorization.
 ''Ill bet you that not one of these battleships ever will be built" Sen ator Brewster told Leahy, and wrote a separate minority report regard ing both battleships and airplanes
 When the bill got to the floor of Congress, Brewster also staged a battle for more naval airplanes- though the admirals insisted on limiting the number to 5000 Brew ster fought so stubbornly that fin ally Representative Vinson of Georgia, charge of the Naval Au- thorization bill, suggested to Brew ster:
 Lets compromise this thing. In stead of making the bill read not more than 5000 aircraft let's make it read not less than 5000 aircraft
 So the bill was passed that way

BIG BATTLE
 STILL RACES
 IN 50L.0N0NS
Outcome of Struggle for QuaddIcdndI Base
 Not Known

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17. = The terrible battle for control of the Solomon Islands area centered around Guadalcanal today and the outcome of the fight for the possession of the strategic southwes Pacific base still hung in balance.
 The Japs were reported to have landed large reinforce ments on Guadalcanal Island late yesterday and were still smelling American positions this morning.
 Large concentrations of Jap ships were reported massed near Shorthand Island, just g miles west of the American base and important airfield on Guadalcana1.
 Although the enemy launched several surprise attacks on the US. airfield, American forces have retaliated by sending out air raiding parties to strike at Jap naval concentrations.
 Reports from the area where the strengthened forces of both sides are striving for crippling blows were meagre this morn ing, indicating the terrific mo- mentum of the battle.
 Naval Department Secretary Frank Knox, however, said he would and could give announce ments of the battle only as they were received in Wash ington, and expressed confi- dence of an American victory.
