un0er the japanese Juggernaut.
At the moment, the japanese are
making an attempt to master the
eastern-and coastal-province of
Chekiang, but they are up against
seasoned Chinese soldiers who on
many occasions have forced them
back from advanced positions, and
who are doing that now again.
The Future.
The seeming fact that all the axis
powers are weaker than they have
been before, and that the United Ma
tons are growing proportionately
stronger, has inspired surging wave
of optimism throughout our own ma
ton, too.
Washington authorities have
put a few barrels of calming oil
on that wave; it's premature to
be optimistic, they say, prompted,
no doubt, by fear that public
alertness may slacken; they adj
init that the situation, all around,
is better than it has been, but,
at the same time, they warn the
American people not to be too
sure of speedy victory and speedy
peace. It takes time, it takes
additional efforts, it takes a lot
of sacrifice-yet.
Much, naturally, will depend on
the expected general offensive
against Hitler-held Europe, and
about that, there is only one state
ment to make, on the basis of Of
fetal British declarations, and that
is that the offensive will take place.
But how, when, and where-that,
most certainly, has to remain a
secret. When such an offensive is
undertaken, it has to be started at
moment when it is known beyond
doubt that it will succeed.
Mexican Affairs.
Speaking, as has become the fash
ion of the day, of new fronts, one
may develop from the friction which
has come about between Mexico and
the axis powers as the result of re-
cent sinkings of Mexican vessels. To
what extent this will be actual war,
it is impossible to say-but there
is the possibility that Mexico will
be able to muster considerable man.
power for battlefelds in Europe and
Asia.

Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1942-05-28

If the new tax bill is passed in the
form that is proposed, single per-
son earning more than 1892 per
week must pay an income tax of
II per cent on the excess up to 81, 900.
Thus, a salesgirl in the five-and-ten,
earning Is per week, will be required
to pay $4760, or nearly 81 per month.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1942-05-28

1t will mean, in the first place, a
combined normal and surtax, aggre-
eating probably not less than II per
cent on the first $4,000 of net in
come, and, secondly, lowering of
exemptions to $500 for single per-
sons and to $1,000 for those who are
married. In the. case of the latter,
there will, of course, be allowance
for dependents.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1942-05-28

If Congress votes in accordance
with the wishes of Messrs. Roose-
welt and Morgenthau and the recon-
mendations of the Ways and Means
committee, even those of small in
come are going to be hit by the new
income taxes, and they are going
to be hit hard. Indeed, 1 am be-
ginning to wonder whether they are
not going to be hit harder, proper
tionately, than anybody else.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1942-05-28

To most of us, $47.6O is not a
large sum. But to the underpaid
salesgirl it may be large. To set
aside this amount out of her meager
earnings will mean something more
than giving up luxuries and amuse-
ments. 1t will mean giving up neces-
sites. To the girl, living away from
home, as many of them do, SIS per
week allows precious little margin
for luxuries and amusements.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1942-05-28

The majority will, of course, pay.
But there is no telling to what lengths
they may not be driven, by fear or
patriotism, to scrape the money to-
gether. Paying a S47.60 income tax
to help the war effort will mean a
sacrifice by the salesgirl, proportion
ately greater by many times than
any of our high officials or legis-
lators are making.
Most people in the low income
group will cheerfully pay, if they
possibly can. And because they are
as patriotic as the most vocal among
us, no lengthy argument will be re-
quired to induce them to do their
best. All they need to be told is
that their country is calling on them
to do their part.
It will be unnecessary to tell them
about the tremendous sums that must
be raised-not only unnecessary, but
futile. Like the rest of us, they can
no more grasp the true meaning
of the term "billion" than Mr.. Roose-
welt or Mr.. Morgenthau are able to
grasp the true meaning of the term,

oDT Moy Ban Extended TroveI
for All Clubs During Spring

League officials for prompt ac-
ton in finding a way out of the
quandary prompted President
Ford Frick to say that "all clubs
should work in unison and it
would be a good idea to arrive
at conclusion as soon as pos
sible."
Much of the confusion has re-
suited from the various interpre-
tations given ODT Director
Eastman's previous request that
the clubs curtail their Spring
travelling.
Ed Barrow of the New York
Yankees said Saturday his club
would train at home if other
American League teams did
likewise. He asked, however,
that If training in the north
were agreed upon that the OPEN
ing of the season be delayed.
Following the Red Sox lead, it
is known that the Brooklyn
Dodgers are interested in Yale
University's facilities if they are
not taken over by the Army and
that Detroit is considering the

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 - Up
Although all is chaos right now,
indications are that the Is Ma
jor League baseball teams will
do their 1913 Spring condition
ing within home runs length
of their own ball parks.
Boston's Red Sox already
have announced that their
sweating out process will be
done at Tufts University, at
nearby Medford, probably the
most northern point any Major
League Club ever has used for
training site.
And it is likely the other clubs
will follow suit.
Two rumors were rife in base
ball circles today: THAT ODT
Director Joseph B. Eastman soon
may issue a second order, def
nitely banning extended travel
by the baseball clubs during the
Spring season; 2-That Commits
sioner K. M. Lands will call a
joint Major League meeting to
study the situation.
Lands couldn't be reached in
Chicago, his home declaring
only that he was ION a train"
but refusing to give his destina-
ton.
William Harridge, president of
the American League, also could
not be reached but his Chicago
office released a statement
which said in part that nothing
can be done until the Spring
training programs are straight
ened out. If the clubs believe
they can train at home there's a
possibility that the opening of
the season (now set for April
49, may be delayed a couple of
weeks"

Spanked by Major John w.
Murphy and attended by representa-

civic organizations, a group of New
Haven citizens met this week in Hen
drie Hall to make plans for series
of Greater New Haven Community
Sings, to be held in the near future.
Walter B. Spencer, principal of
Commercial High School, who has
been chosen the general chairman for
the sings, says that Marshall Bar
tholomew, who during the last war
organized and directed thousands of
community sings of all sizes both here
and abroad, had consented to direct
the New Haven sings.
The tentative date for the first sing
was set at either Wednesday or
Thursday, August 5 or 6, with three
more to follow at two-week intervals.
The location and exact date will be
announced later.

Many Unions
Use Historic
Park McLay
Common Sense" Used To
Create Playland; Can
Accommodate 1000

Many unions are holding their
picnics this year at historic Park
McLay in East Haven. Members
of these unions are passing the
word along and more unions will
take advantage of the easy access
to the Park and its recreatiOnaI
opportunities.
HISTORIC PLACE
The entrance to the park was orig
inally Dark Hollow on the Old Vim
yard Road, now Bradley Street.
Around 1880 stories of witchcraft
emanated from this spot. Inside the
Park proper to the left of the en-
trance is THE Seal" rock named
for its formation and color. Above
the rock, facing south, present-day
patrons enjoy a magnificent view of
Long Island Sound. On the roadway
encircling the lake are the many
springs which insure fresh water for
the swimmers. One of these, Indian
Spring, was the site of the death of
Charles, the last sachem of the Quin-
nipiac tribe of Indians in 1870, ending
their existence. They were the orig
iral owners of New Haven and ad-
jacent territory. There is still the
small cave where the first quarrying
for stone for the Old Stone Church
of East Haven was done in 1772 and
worshipping began in 1774. Stone
from the same source went into East
Haven's town hall, library, and
museum.
''COMMON SENSE
James McLay, the Parks present
owner, born i'm Scotland i'm 1865,
came to New Haven in 1870. He
staged Connecticut's first automo-
bile show in 1909 in Fair Haven.
In 1919 he bought the l25 acres
adjoining the Municipal Golf
Course. In 1880 he began develop

S Labor Adequately Represented On Rent Control Stas

A detailed explanation of
the new rent set-up in Con-
necticut communities desig-
mated as defense rental areas
under the Office of Price Adj
ministratiOn was received this
week by Secretary-Treasurer
John ]. Egan i'm a letter from
Chester BOwles, State OPA
Administrator. Connecticut,
according to Bowles, is now
divided into five rent areas:
Fairfield County; Waterbury,
with the addition of Litchfield
County; an area centered in
New Haven which takes in
about One-half of New Haven
County; an area centered in
Hartford which includes much
of Middlesex, Tolland and
Hartford Counties; an area
with the office i'm New Haven
which takes i'm New London
and Windham Counties.
REPLY TO ECAN
BOwles' reply came in answer
to letter from Egan asking for
elarification of the situation so
hat organized labor might know
ow to go about protecting the
interests of its members. BOwles,
in detailing the area rental admin
STATIONS, stressed the fact that all
rea rent directors are appointed
by him and responsible to him.
Each rental area has a full time
paid Area Rent Director at its
head; in New Haven Anthony F.
Arpaia has the office. The direc-
tors staff includes rent appraiser,
Dne or more rent examiners, plus
one or two attorneys with the nee
essary clerical and stenographic
staff.

Haven Herbert S. Macdonald is the
Appointee) watches out for evic-
ions and appears in court to make
sure that the eviction is not caused
by unwillingness to pay the excess
rent which some landlords persist
N demanding, according to BOwles.
All members of the rent area
staff are full time members of the
OPA and must give up all other
work.
WIDEN REPRESENTATION
However, while Bowles' letter
clears up the technical side of the
question, there still remains the
feeling that the real estate inter-
sts are supplying most of the rent
