the treasury departments re-
quest for 100000 in new
excuses yesterday the committee
agreed tentatively to raise the
rates on both distilled spirits
and beer.
Some members said that they
apparently were headed toward
disposition of all proposed ex-
else tax increases before settling
down TO a serious discussion of
approving a sales tax to make
up their present deficit in secre-
tary Morgenthau's revised So
0O,000,00O tax goal.
The committee raised the Ii
qror tax from 81 to Sc a gal
lon 49, estimated to produce
S279, 700,008-and the beer levy
from Sc to ST a barrel. The
treasury had asked for an So
a barrel tax which experts said
would produce about Sill, l00,-
600.
Thus, with new corporation
and individual taxes, the COM
mittee has approved about SIS
$50, 100000 and the remaining
excuses, proposed by the admin
istration would raise $1,000
100000. But many of those,
particularly a suggestion that
the present federal 112 cent-a-
gallon tax on gasoline be dou-
bled, probably will be rejected.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

In the old days of stagecoach
travel, the highway was favorlte
place for robbers to gather. Men
would wait for a coach to reach a
lonely part of the road, then would
rush out and order it to halt.
Stand and deliver" came to be
a well-known order The passengers
were robbed at pistol point.
People who rob for living usually
have minds of a low order. They
fool themselves into thinking they

was among these that the gentle
men of the road" were found.
When stagecoaches came along,
the passengers were forced to turn
over their money and jewels. At
one time coach containing Crom-
well, himself, was stopped by two
highwaymen. One of them raised
his pistol and shouted, oliver
Cromwell, prepare to meet thy God!'
After speaking the words, he fired,
but missed his target. Then SOL
diers of Cromwell rushed out and
captured one of the highwaymen;
the other, who had fired the pistol,
escaped.
At another time man carried
a sum equal to $4,000 on a stage
coach. His wife was riding beside
him and she was playing a flute
when the coach was stopped. One
of the highwaymen asked her to
come out and dance with him, and
she did So AS reward, the coach
was allowed to 60 on, after the man
had turned over one-fourth of his
money.
A different Cavalier highwayman,
Nick Nevison, was captured and
thrown into Jail before trial It
happened that he had friends in
the town, and one Of them was a
doctor.
During a visit, the doctor painted
spots on Nick's face, and the jailor
supposed that his prisoner had
fallen victim to the black plague.
The doctor gave Nick a powerful
potion" and to the jailor it seemed
that he died. The body" was car
ried out of the Jail in coffin.
Later Nick's ghost" was reported
on the highway again, and for sew
eral years more he carried on his
trade. Then he was caught and
hanged.

The Best Defense

Archibald MacLeiSh scored bulls eye when he told publishers that the truth is the best defense against enemy propa- ganda. He would have performed a greater service, and struck a more novel chord, if he had given the newspaper men an idea how, under current condi- tionS, they can get and print the truth. Every responsible editor, even under cen Sorship, is doing his best to see that notlr- ing but the truth gets into his news col umns. But there isn't newspaper in this country which can pretend with straight face that it prints all of the inl- portant truths it can obtain and verify.
 By general agreement, each executive withholdS what in his opinion might be of value to the national enemies, Then and this is what hurts-he deleteS any thing which he fears Washington might think could conceivably be of value to the enemy. The result is, of course, that the public obtains very incomplete pie ture of what is going on. It learns much less than the truth Some of the details which the government withholds from the preSS or which editors withhold from the public, obviously should not be print ed, or should be deferred for strategic reasons.
 There can be no sound criticism, for ex- ample, of the governments refusal to comment on the raid on Japan Wash ington's reticence has been justified by the unbelievably asinine sequence of statements on the raid which have come from Tokyo and Berlin. Reading them, no layman could ever again give credence to any war communique out of Nippon until it had been verified from reSpon- able source. By keeping still, our goV- ernment has let the Japs show themselves as the clumsy liars they are.
 Moreover, there are occaSions-and the Tokyo bombings may prove to be of this vort--when facts must be withheld until their disclosure no longer can endanger our military and naval forces. In the name of national unity and morale, there lS persistent attempt to soft pedal crit cisn1 of the official conduct of this war. Specific facts and figures by which the progress of our preparation could be measured are all but impossible to ob- tain for publication.
 This is not healthy situation. The less genuine information the newspapers are permitted to print, the more receptive Is the public mind to distorted gossiping which sometimes actually is the product of obstructionists, Saboteurs defeatists, fifth colunnists. MT MacLeish is cor rect. The truth, while at times 1t will hurt, is the best defense against enemy propaganda. As director of the Office of Facts and Figures, can Mr. MacLeish arrange for newspapers to obtain a little more of the pregnant truth, and to be permitted to print it? One reason we're still half asleep, as a nation, in this war Is that we haven't been given the avail able proof as to how important 1t is that we become wide awake.

of many, but no sacrifice is too great if ss means speedy cessation Of the world war with dictated peace by the demo- cratic nations of the world.

Brewster Breakdown

There would seem to be something very mysterious about the circumstances un- der which the Navy has taken over four plants of the Brewster Aeronautical Cor poration. There was no labor trouble. Union spokesman praised the company's attitude toward employees. Both the Navy's new manager and the union rep resentatives denied that there is enemy alien trouble in the plant. The Navy says the plants were not producing fin ished planes. The union says the failure appears to be due to inability to get nec- eSsary parts from subcontractors. All agree that one reason planes have not been produced is that the plant has been switched to new type of aircraft.
 Perhaps there is some further import ant fact which all parties concerned are conspiring to keep from the public. If not, the Navy's action would seem to be unusually drastic-and perhaps misdi- rected. If subcontractors do not deliver, why not take over their plants, if any, body's? We want war production to the limit. But we don't want 1otlof crack ing down just to prove how tough some big boy is.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-04-28

In the closing days of New York's leg islative session there was quite 8 battle royal over the absentee ballot for soldiers. Republicans took the position that every effort should be made to have ballots available for men in armed service of Un- cle Sam That's a commendable atti- tude and Democrats might be censored for not adopting similar one. But per haps they are bit more practical in this matter for they argued that 1t Is imprac- tical to expect to have vote cast by everyone in service next November. That's just about it in a nutshell. The oppor- tunity to vote cannot be denied a soldier simply because he is thousands of miles away from home, but the opportunity is certainly bit cramped by this vast ex- panse of intervening territory For the duration of the war public officials might adopt policy of doing all they can to assure soldiers of voting but the same is easily overdone and in many instances the fervor for voting at home isn't the same in camp or along the firing line

Lower State Taxes

Last week the people of New York State enjoyed refreshing experience. They paid state income tax which, in general was only half as large as last years. In the words of Henry H. Heimann, execv- tive manager of the National Association, of Credit Men: Tt is doubtful whether the American people were ever more willing to absorb increasingly heavier taxes"
 But they want them to go toward pay ing for the war, and not for the support of dispensable civilian enterprises, Re- auctions in governmental expenditures come hard. But if any legislator doubts that they are appreciated, let him ask his friends from New York while the memory of this weeks treat still is fresh.
