 New Wedges in Line

MOSCOW. July 25-United States bombers are taking part in the des- perate Russian defense of the Cau- casus as the Germans drove dan gerous wedges into forts guarding Rostov and struck nearer the vital city of Stalingrad.
 Swift twin-motored Douglases, flying wing to wing with Russian planes are fiercely pounding Ger man tanks and other motorized col- umns
 Presumably the American planes are flown by Russians.
 The Germans, according to offi- cial reports, have established haz- ardous bridgehead across the lower Don, up the river 125 miles from Rostov which is still reported in Russian hands.
 Last night broadcast from Vichy was picked up here reporting tremendous explositions in which whole blocks were being blown mp by delayed action bombs hindering German occupation of Rostov.

 The island has been zoned and district controllers for the emer- gency service appointed in some cases. Car owners have equipped their vans and trucks with remov- able seats so the vehicles could be transformed into evacuee carriers at moments notice.

Taft Says Tax Bill
 Is Unfair
Would impose Undue Bur. dens on Low Income
 Individuals

WASHINGTON, July 25-Senator Robert Taft asserted today at the Senate Finance Committee hearings on the $6,27l 100000 revenue bill that the imposition of the Treasury approved payroll collection levy will have the effect of requiring 24 per cent tax payments from ordinary citizens in 1943.
 Randolph Paul, Assistant Secre- tary of Treasury, told the com- mittee that the collection source would be a percent advance tax payments in ways in which divid- ends and interest would be consid- cred definitely important" by the Treasury's intimidation measure.
 Taft contended that the provi- sions of the bill which require em- ployers to withhold percent of the pay of single person making less than $11 a week and married persons without children receiving as little as $26 a week would impose undue burdens on low income in- dividuals.
 Committee members said they could forsee Federal taxes ap- preaching 40 billion dollars yearly should Congress adopt the recom- of Morgenthau and lift the levies eventually to the British level.

The W ashingtUn
 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert 5. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON--A lot of people have been cussing congress these days. But if they have the idea that dictatorship is better they should take look at the rubber sit uation. For if it had not been for the consistent fighting and ham, mering by a watchful congress and a free press-the instruments of our democratic processes - it is doubtful that the rubber situation would be on the road to real im- provement today.
 Behind the scenes, certain hard hitting senators-Gillette of Iowa, Thomas of Oklahoma, Truman Of Missouri, Norris of Nebraska, Xiii gore of West Virginia, Brewster of Main, Wheeler of Montana, and many others have done a great service to the nation.
 As a result of their tireless bludgeoning, both backstage and in the full glare of the footlights, a real drive to make synthetic rub Der and make it fast, is now under way-seven precious months after Peral Harbor.
 Most of the congressman couldn't even spell the word "butadiene. , But they have definitely proved that the experts were wrong.
 To illustrate the doubtful bless ings of supreme authority, no one in the government had more dicta- torial power regarding. rubber than Jesse Jones. Congress granted him almost limitless funds and the Pres ident gave him limitless power to produce rubber He could hire the best experts in the world, consult the best scientists, sign contracts with anyone.

GEN ERAL MacA R T H U RS HEADQUARTERS IN AUSTRALIA, July 25.-Allied bombers struck at the Japanese land forces near Coma on the northern New Guinea coast with 45.00O pounds of bombs yester- day, causing fires, General Mac Arthur's headquarters announced today.
 Enemy barges, stores and installa- tions were attacked with demolition and incendiary bombs and direct hits were scored. An anti-aircraft battery was also put out of action.
 Allied aerial activity was so in tense that an unspecifed number of enemy cargo vessels offshore were unable to unload and were forced to withdraw northward toward the Japanese base at Salamaua.

BUSINESS BEFORE WAR

But for some reason the experts he chose put all the rubber eggs in one basket-the manufacture of rubber from petroleum, and by a lengthy process. At one hearing Senator Wheeler asked Jesse Jones:
 Have you investigated to see whether or not it the alcohol process) is good?"
 To which Jones' rubber brain- truster, Stanley Crossland, replied:
 Tt has been investigated, but it has not gone beyond the de- velopment stage by which we can tell whether or not it is operable on commercial scale"
 But the senate agriculture sub committee, probing the matter, re- ported:
 ''The only known and conner cially tested processes for the pro- duction of synthetic rubber, devel- oped principally in continental Flu rope by Germans, Poles and Rus sianS, were from alcohol produced from grain and potatoes
 The senate committee went fur ther saying:
 There is no explanation by any responsible official of why this country. in setting up a program for the production of synthetic rub Der. gave consideration only to un-

BONNEVILLE, u. S. A.
written in Chicag0)

IT'S odd that should seem so alien here.
Somehow can't fit in no matter how strive.
It's not just that I'm new-another year
Would hardly make me "hep to the 1--WE"
They strange paradox, these people mine
Slow, soft voices speaking words hard as stone;
Their souls no longer hew the natural line
They are not mystery, yet they're quantity unknown.
Here once was Mecca, land of brightest hopes,
But see it now, with dirty, unkempt streets;
Laughter, strained unreal, no longer copes
At par with all the sorrows and defeats
Morality lies drugged upon the couch of fraud;
The law with outstretched palm turns its back,
While Right in latitude has grown so broad
That even good men dare not draw the slack
How much too swift, how many years too soon
Have many cabin folk to South Park flats!
Is progress premature, bane or boon;
When should the barefoot boy spats?
The folks tread four abreast along the walks
No grdiron squad could boast stronger line.
The drivers of the dime cabs leer and mock;
All streets theirs by right divine.
Life is GRIM of such great stress,
The tempo far too swift for men to learn
What beauty lies in ethics-it seems they guess
That he is fool and slow who waits his turn.
I cannot say know all reasons why
Dark Chicago holds very much Of shame,
But one know that can well deny:
Too many unready when they came.
And yet though deplore, sympathze;
The blame rests status quo
That tolerates blind upon their eyes ..-
And sends them here without chance to know.
JAMES T. LOGAN.
