want you to help me, too, Dian,
Twenty pounds is a pretty large
order
yes, Aunt Martha" said Dian.
i usually do help you, don't II"
"Of course" Miss Martha smiled
But if Jerome Carr starts giving
you a rush, you may not have much
time on your hands"
"Oh, Lord" Dian groaned.
Good night, Dian. honey-sweet
dreams"
Thanks, Aunt Martha" Dian
said, but Ill probably have night
mares"
Miss Martha tiptoed out. Dian,
left alone, sat up in bed and gazed
out Of the window. Jerome Carr,
telephoning to ask her to lunch
with him at the Chamber of Com
merce grill, and Bill Rollins tele-
phoning to find out if he was to &c
out to the farm with her. What a
heck Of situation,
She lay back down presently. and
drifted off to sleep hoping that she
could get Betsy" started and on
the road to the farm before Jerome
Carr had time to give his attention
to matters other than those con-
corning his beloved bank.
Although she hadn't gotten to
sleep until after 2 o'clock that
morning. Dian was up at 7. And
now, with the caressing warmth
Of the sun upon her back, she was
busy at work on the car. She had
definitely made up her mind 10
drive Bill Rollins out TO the farm,
Nothing was going to stop her
Jerome Carr, change in the
weather. nor anything her Aunt
Martha might say. That is. OF
course, If Betsy finally decided 70

AS she worked she thanked the
high heavens that she had learned
something about the complicated
and puzzling conglomeration OF
gadgets underneath Betsy's hood
The garage man had said to her
I'D sure better show you some
thing about the innards Of this here
ark, Miss Dian; elsewise you'll be
trotting. down to me all the time. u
And he had suited action to words
so that Dian was now able to ad-
just wire here, fiddle with q
spark-plug there, and give Betsy a
general diagnosis.
And then-just like that-the
car responded. The old engine
coughed couple Of times, and then
settled down to a gentle purring
a sound that was music 10 Dian S
ears.
Dian" Aunt Martha called from
the back door. Dian. what on
earth are you doing ?"
Giving Betsy a beauty treat

We'll, come on in to your break
fast. It'll be cold as ice"
A little later. after Dian had
washed up, and was facing her aunt
across the breakfast table. Miss
Martha eyed her critically
You've got smudge on your
nose" she said. And your hairs a
mess"

Axis Planes Hit Airdromes
OF Allies in Nile Area

Et the Associated Press
CAIRO, July 30-Small forces OF
Axis bombers made widespread pre-
dawn attacks on British United
States airdromes in the Nile delta
area, behind the quiescent El Ala
mein front.
Bombs fell in Cairo proper and
provoked the greatest anti aircraft
barrage ever seen there. Sirens also
screamed in the Suez zone and other
scattered areas of Egypt.
The British regarded the forays
as intended primarily to hinder AL :
lied air operations against Axis sea
and land communications to the
now stabilized Ell Alamein front,
about 10 miles west of Alexandria.
The populace began to gather In
hotel Hobbies, apartment house shell
ters and other places of refuge, still.
in their night clothing, when the
alarms sounded about 3 am.
The people had heard many alerts
and occasional anti-aircraft fire but
few bursting bombs since war came
to the Near East.
Today some of the curious went to
rooftops and balconies to watch the
tracers, the play OF lights and the
shellbursts in the moonlit sky.
The Egyptian Interior Ministry
said one fatality and Slight dam

Courts in Confusion, 3 Recess
After False Afraid Alarm

false practice AFRAID alarm in
the criminal building of Municipal
Court that originated with a tele-
phone call to w. D. Hairless, chief
building air-raid warden, threw six
courts into confusion this morning
and the judges of three of them
took recesses.
Mr. Hairless said some one called
him this morning and told him the
daylight practice raid would start at

The telephone informant did not
give his name but merely said he
was calling from the "air-raid signal

Mr.. Hairless, who is chief engineer
Of the three-story building at Fifth
and E streets NV, said he informed
building wardens OF the report, and
they. in turn, told others, including
clerks in the various courts. The
wardens, just before 10:30, propped
open all swinging doors leading to
stairways for the expected crowd to
file downstairs to the air raid shelter
space on the first floor.

Many Of Van Duzer's
Proposals Would Result
In Poorer Service, Is View

With public hearings on the
Van Duzer plan for radical
changes in bus routes slated to
be held soon by the Public Utili-
ties Commission, E. D. Merrill,
president of the Capital Transit
Co., filed with Chairman Gregory
Hankin today a statement pro-
testing against many of the rec
concentrations on the ground
that they would curtail service
without accomplishing much to-
ward the war aim of cutting
down mileage.
While w. A. Van Duzer. District
traffic director, in filing the rec
concentrations as defense transpor-
tation co-ordinator, urged the PUG
to adopt the changes at once, as an
emergency measure, without public
hearings, the commission was not
inclined to agree.
Chairman Hankin said today he
felt hearings were required of the
commission in any matter of such

Induced Savings Plan
Deserving Of Study, .''
Says
Georges Proposal Would
Provide for Higher Toxes
With Postwar Refunds
BY the Associated Press.

Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau said today that a plan
of induced savings" advocated
by Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia, is a plan that deserves
study"
Under Senator Georges plan
additional high income taxes would
be imposed on individuals, but the
special tax money would be invested
in Government securities and be re-
funded to the taxpayers with in
terest after the war.
The Secretary hastened to add
that he did not mean to imply that
he was indorsing the George plan
and explained, Senator George is
chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee, and anything he has to
say about taxes must be considered
more seriously than something any
other Senator might say"
Secretary Morgenthau recalled
that he has been consistently op-
posed to any of the various schemes
OF compulsory public savings which
he described as forced loans" but
gave other hints that a lag in the
War bond sales drive could force a
revision in his judgment
Doubts Goal Will Be Reached.
In his regular press conference
today he said, Il don't think So" in
reply to an inquiry as to whether he
believed the Treasury would meet its
announced goal of selling s1,OO0,-
100000 worth of War bonds this
month. In June the Treasury failed
to meet 100000 war bond goal
Secretary Morgenthau estimated
that July sales would be around
5000 900 900, which is tidy sum-
When reminded that many months
ago he said the success of the volun-
tary War bond purchase program
would be shown in July, the Secre-
tary said that the full months re-
turns were not in yet. and reporters
ought to wait week before pressing
the question In the first % days of
July War bond sales aggregated
sSo6 ,22a,323.
The Secretary, moreover, cautioned
the public against overestimating
the part of War bond sales in the
war financing program.
War bond sales are only one
quarter to one-fiifth of the whole
job" he explained
Believes Forced Loans Unlikely.
Il have the job OF raising between
$4,000, ,000,0 and 5,OO0O 100000 a
month through half dozen differ
ent devices. So far we have been
successful and I have every reason
to believe we will continue to be able
to raise the money to finance the
war, without forced loans"
He continued that one of the pri-
mary purposes of War bond sales
was to raise every dollar possible
outside of the banks" Economists
generally regard Government bor-
rowing from banks as having infa-
tionary potentialities.
A proposal to channel all indi-
vidual incomes above $25 900 a year
into Government bonds for the du-
ration OF the war was advanced,
meanwhile, by Senator Brown. DEM

OF the arraignment of seven de-
PENDANTS in an alleged conspiracy
TO undermine morale of the armed
forces
Justice Morris informed the
crowded courtroom that a practice
AFRAID alarm was imminent and
That he would recess until it was
ended. When the alarm failed to
sound Justice Morris reconvened his
court and announced that hence
forward he would not adjourn until
the sirens had actually sounded.

cessed was Judge John P. McMa-
non, presiding in Traffic Court.

Most OF them merely fingered about
