CHANGE THE TAX BILL,

The United States Senate has an
opportunity to recast the tax bill to
make it fairer to the great masses of
Americas wage earners, who will be
the victims Of many injustices under
the bill drafted by the House Ways
and Means Committee and passed by
the House.
One of the worst features of the
bill is the lowering of the personal tax
exemptions to the $500 and $1,000
levels. As the National Lawyers Guild
declared, in a devastating attack on
the bill, this lowering of the exemp-
tions will take groceries and other
necessities out of the homes of the
workers in the low-income groups"
'The House committee" it is fur
ther declared, "does not hesitate to
dip into the pockets of the $10-a-week
messenger boy, yet it SHES away from
the $4,000 personal income limitation
set by the President"
And the guild statement says, in

UNBEARABLE LIVING
CONDITIONS, REPORT
SAYS OF GREEK SHIPS

New York City (ILNS). S).-Negotia-
tions for the unifcation of the Greek
seafarers' movement and new col
lective agreement between the Greek
government in exile, the Greek sea-
men, and ship-owners are now under
way in London, it was announced by
the American office of the Interna-
tional Transport Workers Federation.
Though Greek maritime labor is at
present not affiliated with the /. t. F.,
the unity negotiations between the
Greek Seamen's Union in Great Brit
ain and the Greek Maritime Union in
the United States are conducted under
the auspices of the federation. The
Greek Maritime Union was organized
in New York late in 1941 and has
branches IN Buenos Aires and Dur
ham, South Africa.
Among the union demands for the
new collective agreement are 40 per
cent increase of basic wage and war
bonus which now totals about $75 per
month, proper safety measures, over
time pay, and improvement of living
conditions aboard ship.
1T. F. officials pointed out that liv-
ing conditions and food supplies
aboard Greek ships are unbearable and
border in some instances on near star
walton. Other substantial complaints
are unsanitary living quarters, the
withholding of one months wages by
the ship-owners without consent of the
men, and overwork.
In sharply -worded protest against
conditions and the treatment of sea-
men aboard Greek ships, the Greek
union placed responsibility squarely
upon the Greek authorities who shave
blandly refused to cooperate with the
men and their representatives in an
effort to stamp out abuses"
"The refusal of the Greek author
tiles and the ship-owners to deal with
the just complaints of the men, yes to
even meet with us in conference, leaves
us no other alternative but to appeal
to American public opinion for help
in matters which are of fundamental
concern to the war effort of the United
Nations" the union stated.

New York State Factories
Reporting Losses In Jobs

Commissioner Miller reports losses
from May to June of 27 per cent in
employment and of 80 per cent in
payrolls at New York state factories
The large losses reported by civilian
goods plants, particularly those MAX
ing apparel, were mainly responsible
for the drops in the totals. Most war
goods plants continued to expand, but
several shipyards engaged in repair
work reported substantial layoffs.

Labor's index of factory employment,
based on the 1859 average as 100,
dropped to 140.1 preliminary. The

THE -
CHERRY TREE
Where with eur Little Katcket We tell
the truth absut many things. Sometimes
profoundly, Sometimes aippantly, ssne-
times recklessly.

Recent arrests of saboteurs ought to
make it plain to every American that
we are engaged in war in which no
holds are barred. We must be ON
GUARD.
The trials have brought out shock
ing facts. Alien agents landed in our
shores and, but for what we may as
well call lucky "breaks" might well
have got their murderous program
under way.
We know about the ones that got
caught. We don't know whether there
are enemy agents who haven't been
caught.
The clear warning sign for all of
US is this: BE ON GUARD EVERY
WHERE!
This is no time for easy going or
for monkey business.
1t is no time for kidding about the
national safety.
Especially every worker must be on
guard.
Months ago there were warnings
against sabotage.
1t was one thing to be warned that
sabotage was possible, or even prob
able.
1t was another thing to know that
enemy aliens actually had been landed
from boats for an invasion job.
The mouthings of year ago that
no enemy could land on our shores
sound pretty hollow now.
One enemy agent, with adequate
equipment, could do as much damage
as a regiment of open armed forces.
Do we remember the Black Tom ex-
plosion of that other war? Some of
US do.
1t was the work of a concealed
enemy crew.
We can all be glad the eight in
vaders were caught and promptly
dealt with.
We hope there are no more and we
surely don't want any more.
BUT, we cannot be sure there are
no more already among us.
We must shun panic, but WE
MUST EVERY ONE OF US BE ON
THE ALERT EVERY HOUR.
And the first and simplest thing for
everyone to do is to SHUT UP!
Most folks enjoy passing along a
good story. Most folks like to have
their friends think they have "inside
DOPE"
Well, if we do have in side dope, let's
keep it inside. Let's keep our mouths
shut.
No civilian is qualified to know when
a fact noised around may prove help
full to the enemy. Keep still-SHUT
UP.
Not only are there facts to keep still
about--there are rumors that should
die in their tracks. Don't pass rumors
along.
/ Enemy agents purposely plant ru-
mors FOR THEIR PURPOSES. Don't
help them.

treated as responsible and reasonable
men. We demand that our just de-
mands be heard and abuses be recti-

about justice, equality, and the eternal
debt of gratitude due to the seamen.
Surely, it is not too much to insist
that these beautiful precepts be ap-
piled toward our men who stand in
the front lines of this war and are
willing to carry more than their share

All Men Look
At Legs, Says
Miss Downing
By MARIE DOWNING

Someone mas said, "All women
have legs and all men look at
them" If the last part of this
statement is true, none or us can
be too careful about leg grooming.
OF course, there is a limit TO what
we can Go about the shape OF our
legs, put there are many things
that we can do to make them more
attractive. Here are some simple
rules that make all legs look bet
ter.
First Of all. be neati The
way you wear your stockings has a
great deal 10 do with the appear
ance cf your legs. Baggy knees,
wrinkles and zigzag seams can
ruin the looks of the loveliest pair
of limbs. So, take time in putting
on your hosiery.
Never wear hosiery the second
day without laundering. They'll
bag every time. And don't forget
that the skin that shows through
thin hose is as important as the
shape OF your legs.
Half Cf the women who write to
me about legs say that theirs are
too large; the other half complain
about theirs being too thin. Here
are some suggestions for both.
Thick ankles and calves can be
made trimmer if you are willing to
spend half an hour a day on exer-
else
Avoid tight skirts, especially
those that are narrow at the hem.
Stay away from hosiery in light
shades and high lustey. Darker
shades with a dull finish are best
for you.
If your legs are thin, start diet
ing for p0undage. Exercise, too,
will help round out the puny
muscles of wour legs. Don't wear
your skirts too short. Cover your
bony knees with skirts that fall in
soft folds at the hem. Wear lisht,
lustrous stockings.

Originated by Miss Laura Slay-
ton, social worker, the first meet
ing of the Godmother's league
was held Sunday evening at the
home Of Mrs. Imogene Saunders.
This group is one of several such
organizations to be sponsored by
Miss Slayton.
The purpose is to be godmoth-
Ell to war babies of soldiers and
to create a milk fund to supply
milk to the many underprivileged
and undernourished children of
the race. After having witnessed
many cases where the lives of
children depended upon having
milk, Miss Slayton realized the
Importance of immediate action
to do something for them.
The milk fund will be created
by EACH group giving a series of
benefits, and soliciting donations
from the larger charitable organ
lzations such as the Community
chest. Layettes will be made OF
assembled and all kinds Of used
clothing will be gathered fer the
older children wno have need of
them. This will be done by the
various groups.

age. three times day. thou
sands of meals in life time.
We cannot always have just
the foods we desire. Sometimes
they are too expensive, or out of
season, or limited in quantity; so
to make the supply go round, we
all must use similar amount.
That is what has happened in re-
gard to sugar. Our country, being
at war, needs sugar for use III max
alcohol. which in turn, is used in
making munitions; therefore, we
are all being rationed in sugar
for home use.
How can we keep that sugar
bowl on the table filled with sugar
to us on cereals, fruits and IN
that good cup Of coffee, and, at
the same time, secure the sweet
ness needed for desserts, pies and
cakes? Or must We give up some
of these good things? As for the
latter alternative, the American
Homemaker has been, and is al
ways ready to make the greatest
sacrifices for the freedom and
the welfare of her country. But
there is another answer, a COM
nonsense answer to this sugar
problem:-
USE SUGAR SUBSTITUTES!
Not just one sugar substitute,
but the whole gamut, are
available. They are: Molasses;
Honey; Corn Sugar; Corn Syrup;
Maple Syrup and Sugar; Jams
and Jellies; Canned Fruits and
Fruit Juices. Supplies of these sub
stitutes are plentiful enough so
that, if each homemaker uses
them in rotation, one kind each
day, they will last indefinitely
and leave ample cane sugar for
table use.
If you are not already in the
habit of using the sugar substi-
tutes, you have a real culinary |
