Bottle Furiousiy
BY EDDY GILMORE

MOSCOW, Sept. 2 - (P) -
The Russians fought hard today
for Stalingrad against hordes of
German tanks that had struck
deep into the defense system
and nowhere was there a sign
of Soviet weakening which
might lead to a major break
through.
On this, the seventh day of
the battle for the great indus
trial city on the Volga, Marshal
Fedor Won Book threw waves of
tanks against the city's outer
Notifications while his air force
con inue d almost ceaseless
bombings of the Red Army and
the city.
CRUCIAL SECTOR
The crucial sector was south
west of the city. Northwest be-
tween the Don bridgeheads and
the Volga, the situation appear
ed in hand after a vigorous Rus
sian counter-attack had erased
a German wedge forcing the at
tackers back to their original
positions.
(The Germans said they had
reached the lower Volga north
of Stalingrad, referring possibly
to the wedge which the Russians
said had been erased. Russian
planes again bombed East Prus-
STA and Poland last night start
ing several fires in Warsaw,
the German communique added.
German and Rumanian troops
were declared advancing along
the Black Sea littoral southeast
of Anapa despite tough resist
ance.)

where Williams was hanged,
but, save for mild street DEM
onstration, there had been no
other outbreak.
Later an angry crowd threw
stones at an automobile of Capt.
c. Turner, a u. S. Army Off
GER, on Belfast business street.
The driver sped up and none of
the occupants was hit.

will exist, after the war, for replacement of now unprOcurable heavy household goods - refrigeratorS, automobiles, heat ing plants, stoves, etc. v and the fact that unless money is available at that time, the heavy industries will not have pay ing customers to finance reconversion to peacetime production To provide against these requirements, the scheme provides for substantial postwar refunds to payers of this tax.
 To these extents the Victory Tax is an improvement over the alternatives which had been under consideration. The public should recognize, however, that the Victory Tax is not a scientific Substi- tute for the unscientific tax structure which has grown up. It does not replace the income tax. It has nothing to do with the desirability of the Ruml with holding tax plan, which is being kicked about notwithstanding strong public ap- proval. The need for heavy new taxes has been matter of public knowledge for many months. President Roosevelt made it Point Number One in his Seven-point anti-inflation program recommended to Congress last April. The people, who ordinarily hate taxes, have made it abundantly clear that for war purposes there is no ceiling upon their willingness to pay, and pay, and pay. Yet at the last moment, it was necessary to produce 8 makeShift.
 At this late date, the income tax Struc- ture has not been revised. It must be overhauled in a great rush to fit it into brand-new supplementary tax scheme so that the poorer payers will not be ruined. We shall emerge, probably after election, with hodgepodge tax system which will produce money for Uncle Sam, will take money from the people, but will leave us even further from any scientific approach to taxation than we were last April. In everything except the separa- tion of the public from it's money, we are making high speed backward in connec- tion with taxation.

Go Easy, MT. Mayor

Down in New York City Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia is becoming almost fanatic in his endeavors to do everything possible for the war effort. On the basis of some of his recent announcements and de- mandS it would appear as if good ludg- ment was needed on his part to temper some of them. For instance everyone doesn't think he's exactly right when he urges children to report to him when they discover that their fathers are gambling. Mayor LaGuardia's idea is good, but his approach is faulty.
 There should be every effort made, dur ing wartimeS, to curb gambling, but the very first thing that Mayor LaGuardia or any other public official, ought to do in this respect is eliminate the sources or causes of gambling. He is particularly irate at those who wager on the horses, but despite this New York race-trackS continue to operate and so long as tracks run, there will be wagering both at them and away from them. Mayor LaGuardia can't stop that until he stops the horses running.
 He also unloosed blast recently at drinking places, urging that more con- trol over them be exercised and saying, "The decent people of the country, while their sons are fighting, are not going to stand for debaucherys in the city .' It would seem as if the city authorities, whichever ones are referred to, would be to blame if drinking is being carried to the point of debauchery. Strict surveil- lance of all drinking places is entirely up to local control. If it's lacking in New York, Mayor LaGuardia himself should do something about it.
 All of which makes us wonder if the writer who said New York's mayor is be- coming notorious for his knack of doing the right thing in the wrong way isn't quite right A liberal by instinct and in- tent his methods too often are those of the authoritarian.
