USO Magazine
Published BY
Negro Members

Full aWareness of the Axis
peril facing all racial groups is
shown in the contributions to the
regular magazines published at
USO clubhouses by Negro mem
bers of the armed forces. They
warn that all Americans must
fight to preserve their liberties.
Don't let these Axis agitators
lead you to believe that we, the
Negro, will reap the benefits if
the Axis wins the war;" writes

Private Emanuel M. Lotion, in
the same issue of Sage and

del to the literary minded serv-
ice men using the IA USO oper-

writes:

LOS ANGELES, July 3O-The
resolutions adopted by the dele
gates attending the thirty third
annual conference of the N.A.A.
C.P. held here July 14-19, voiced
interest in, and complete support
of the war effort, but insisted
upon complete indignation Of
cOlOred Americans and other mi
norities in every phase of it. The
preamble to the resolutions cited
the responsibility of the associa-
ton in securing and protecting
the rights Of all citizens, pointing
out that unless democracy could
be made to work for Americas
largest minority group, it could
not and would not work for any
others.
Excerpts from the strong res
OlutiOn on WAR AND NATION
AL POLICY are quoted below:
"The war against Axis agrees
sion into which our nation has
been plunged along with Russia,
China, Great Britain, and TWEEN
ty-four other nations is a war in
which racial minorities in this
and other lands have great
stake. We in the N.A.A.C.P.
know that the racial ideas of
Nazism are directly and complete
~ contrary to everything for
which we have stood and stand
today. We remember well Hit
ler's contemptuous reference to
Negroes as half apes. We know
that the destruction of all civil
rights, the rights Of free speech,
press, and assembly; the right to
worship without state interfer-
ence, and the right to hold cleo
tiors after free discussion, are all
slated for destruction if Nazism
is victorious; and that if such
Nazi doctrines prevail in an
America defeated by the Axis,
then the N.A.A.C.P. would itself
become illegal.
eve are, therefore, squarely
behind the war and especially

TreasurExpets Voice
Strong Opposition
To Levy on Sales
Disagreement Reported
At PorIey With George
And Douehton

BY the Associated Press.
A retail sales tax proposal seemed
likely to bob up today as q source
of friction between legislative and
Treasury fiscal experts, otherwise
reported agreed on the general prin-
ciples of & new $1,000, ,000. 900 rev.
enue-raising program.
Treasury opposition to such . levy
was said to have been expressed
strongly at a conference of Chair
men George of the Senate Finance
Committee and Doughton Of the
House Ways and Means Committee
with Treasury representatives last
night.
Senator George told reporters he
believed there was growing senti-
ment in the country, already re-
f1ected in Congress, for the employ
ment Of a sales tax to raise a sizable
portion of the new revenues.
Coffee Tax Proposed.
The Treasury experts were re-
ported to have suggested, instead,
that stiff increases be made in excise
taxes on certain selected products
and that the number of these prod
ucts be widened greatly. There was
said to have been some discussion
of a possible tax of S cents q pound
on coffee.
The Treasury was represented as
contending that its machinery for
the collection of excise taxes already
was set up and could be expanded
with small difficulty.
To collect a sales tax, the Treas
ury representatives were said TO
have argued, would require the
formation of a new large organiza-
ton at a time when there was doubt
that the necessary personnel could
be obtained because of the man
power demands of the war produc-
ton program and allied activities.
Despite this, the congressional
representatives were said to have
contended that any proposal for IN
creases in excise taxes would be
sure to be met by demands for
uniform levy on all commodities,
with the possible exception OF 1000,
clothing and medicine.
Estimate of Needs.
Discussing the results of the con-
ference with reporters, Senator
George left no doubt, however. that
both Treasury and legislative leaders
intended to depend heavily on in
creases in individual income and cor
poration taxes for the major share OF
new revenues.
He estimated that $4,000, 900 600
more than now raised would have
to be obtained from corporations,
about 81, ,OOO, 900 900 from individuals,
81 900, 100000 from excises and ST.
600 900 900 from new forms Of taxa
ton and through the closing OF loop
holes in the present law.
He said the conferees were at
tempting to work out a program
that would not involve changes in
the basic philosophy Of present tax
alton, but he did not discount the
possibility that strong suggestions
would be made within Congress It
self for new forms of levies.

Charter Plan Stunned
By Civic Federation,
Approved By League

The charter government Cor :
Montgomery County movement
was placed before two hitherto
non-political county organizations
in the past few days and broke
even in it's bids for approval.
At the meeting of the County
Civic Federation on Monday night,
DR.. w. M. Gamble urged the orga-
nization to approve the charter
plan by endorsing the five charter
board nominees of the Charter
Committee. The proposal was re-
ferred to the advisory committee,
which refused to consider it as an
emergency item of business, then
went to the executive and advisory
committee of the federation. The
latter also refused to act on the
motion, thereby killing it because
the next meeting of the federation
VIII be held after the general cleo
ton.
Richard H. Akers, vice president
of the federation. presided over the
meeting, which was held in the
Bethesda Elementary School.
The charter plan Jared better
when it came before the board of
directors of the County League of
Women Voters at a meeting at the

movement. This resolution will be

Secretary Stimson acted wisely in
canceUing the fight. There is no
reason why Mike Jacobs should col
lect private accounts from money
earmarked for army relief funds.
But the affair seems to show that
Louis may wind up like many
champion before him-with little left
of his fight earnings.
Jacobs said Louis had owed him
$64, 900 before the Nova match
year ago. He paid me out of his
purse and took care of lot of other
debts" Jacobs said. That left him
almost broke again. so by the mid
die of October Joe started borrow
ing again."
AS rule, heavyweight champions
are not successful financiers. When
John l.. Sullivan was the terror Of
the fistic world, he threw money
away with complete unconcern.
John L. didn't die broke, exactly.
He died in Abingdon, Mass, in q
little house he owned, though it was
heavily mOrtgaged. 1t is estimated
that in 10 years Sullivan made a
total of S1,20O.O0O. Those were his
own figures. John L. didn't live in
the era of milliOn-dolIar gates, so
his earnings were all the more I'M
usual.
Ruby Robert Fitzsimmons died
without much of bank account. He
owned an expensive home in New
Jersey, also heavily mortgaged. His
son tried to become a second Bob
Fitzsimmons, but wasn't successful.

from Bob, owns ranch in Califor-
mia. He has enough saved to live
