LOCAL POLICEMEN
 IN COAST GUARD
Given Coxwain Rating Fol= lowing Induction at BOs-
 ton July B

Patrolmen John Driscoll, Fred Sullivan and Frank Leary will be called to active duty as coxSwainS, third class, U. s. Coast Guard, at Boston, July g, it was learned to- day.
 The three policemen enlisted in the service Wednesday at Boston af- ter having successfully passed ex- aminations required for the rating as coxswain.
 They will be entitled to automatic leaves of absence in accordance with a recent vote adopted by the board of police commissioners to grant such leaves to all men entering the armed services. According to Chair man William Verriker.
 Patrolman Driscoll has been a reg ular policeman for the past year while Officers Sullivan and Leary are supernumeraries who have been on regular duty for considerable time. All three have excellent rec ords as policemen and are held in high esteem by their fellow officers and their superiors.
 They are the first members of the police department to apply success fully for enlistment in a branch of the armed services. Two others have been drafted and another is sched- uled to be inducted into the Army this week. It is expected that about Is to 20 Waterbury police officers will enter the service either through enlistment or through selective serv- ice, an ofdcial of the department said today.
 The three Waterbury policemen have selective service statuses of IA and were eligible for induction into the army. Their experiences as po-. hcemen brought them ratings as coxwains, which is petty oficer rating.
 Patrolmen Driscoll and Sullivan were active in local athletics, partic- ularly when both attended Wilby High school. Both also took part in city amateur league basball and Sullivan was stellar performer with local basketball teams.
 Superintendent William J. Roach today paid high tribute to the three men: I'm sorry to see these men go because they are efficient police off, cers, the type we need for proper protection of a city like Waterbury in these times. What is our loss is the coast guards gain, however, and I wish them the best of luck," he said.
 A Waterbury fireman, Timothy Dowd of Truck has enlisted in the Navy and is expecting call to &C., tive duty momentarily. He has been granted leave of absence by the board of fire commissioners but fur ther enlistments have been discour- aged by the board.

MAY PROLONC WAR PAST FIVE YEARS
Loss of Alexandria, Suez Canal Would Do This
 Said House Leader

Washington, July 3 - U.P0 - Chairman Andrew J. May, D., Ky, of the House Military Affairs Com mittee predicted today that loss of Alexandria and the Suez Canal would prolong the war five years be- yond the most pessimistic outlook.
 His prediction came as diplomatic and official sources feared that Ger man occupation of Egypt would cre- ate serious problems regarding Frances status because of the eight French warships tied up at Alexan- dria.
 May called upon the United Ma tions to throw all the men and equipment that can be spared into the African battlefront.
 If we lose control of the Mediter- ranean and the Germans get control of the Middle East" he said, "this is going to be a much longer war than even the more pessimistic of us had expected"
 He expressed the opinion that good generalship had played a more important role in German victories than superiority of weapons.
 The 88 nm. gun unquestionably is an excellent weapon," he said, "but the important thing was that the Germans outsmarted the British at the outset and the British have never caught up."

 Guglielmo said he entered the park about 1:15 Wednesday morn ing, after having gone to the rail- road station to inquire about train tickets. The station was closed, he said, and he wanted to rest in the park before walking home.
 He sat down on a bench and a man, later identified as Sorriero, offered him a drink of wine from a gallon jug. He gave Sorriero a quarter for the drink, Guglielmo Said.
 A few minutes later he heard Dalesio ask another youth seated on the wall in the park for cigar cite.
 Turning to the youth Guglielmo said he asked, "Is he bothering you?"
 No, I'm not" interjected Dale sio, "and why don't you mind your own business"
 Dalesio and Guglielmo had con- flicting versions of what happened next-each claimed that the other came swinging"
 Guglielmo said he was knocked to the ground and while Dalseio was on top of him he was kicked and his pocketbook containing $24 taken from his pocket. When he was able to get up he ran to police headquarters to report the theft, he said.
 Sorriero said the only persons near Guglielmo were Dalesio, him. self and a man known to him only as "Jacko." He said that he and the others in the group had been drinking wine all night and were into the second gallon when Guglielmo came into the park.
 Mrs. Flaherty said she had been with Lacondrata all day and has been with him on several occasions despite wsssdnge to keep away from him. Lacondrata is married and has four children.

Washington, July 3-(UP)-Con- gress wants the public to be familiar with how the flag should be dis- played and used by civilians and ci- vilian organizations.
 Legislative action has been com- pleted on joint resolution contain ing all of the existing rules and cus- toms.
 The rules and customs contained in the resolution include:
 The flag should be displayed only from sunrise to sunset on buildings and on stationary flagstaffs in the open. However, the flag may be dis played at night upon special occa- sionS when it is desired to produce a patriotic effect.
 It should not be displayed on days when the weather is inclem- ent.

 The flag should never be display ed with the union down, save as a signal of dire distress.
 The flag should never touch any thing beneath it. It should never be carried flat or horizontally, but al- ways aloft and free. It should never be used as drapery.

Tax Decision
Seek Two Billion
Dollars

Washington. May 20-UP- The
House Ways and Means Committee
expected today to reach a Anal de-
cision on 1912 income taxes after
increasing the normal tax from four
to six per cent.
The committee has set s2,754.-
100000 as its goal for revenue
from income taxes-some S750,000.-
900 less than the Treasurys new
goal.
Everyone who earns more than
his exemptions-tentatively set for
$500 for single persons and $3.50
for married couples-must pay the
normal tax on taxable income re-
CARELESS OF the amount.
Surtaxes may start at 10 per cent
on the first dollar of taxable in
come and increase to as high as
IS per cent. That schedule has
been tentatively adopted by the
committee but several changes are
to be made today.
Committee members interpreted
yesterdays action on the surtax
schedules as indirect rejection OF
President Roosevelt's proposal that
no person be permitted to retain
more than $4,000 year after
taxes.
There was no definite way yet
to compute the taxes the average
American will have TO pay on his
1912 income IL the committee pro-
gram is finally approved by the
house and senate. But on the basis
of decisions so far a family with
an income of $4,000 year and two
children would have to pay about
$3.50. Such a family now pays S5S.
The remaining decision on indivi-
dual income taxes is whether to
grant the treasury's request to start
collecting part OF each taxpayers
tax at the source as soon as the
new revenue bill passes. A portion
OF the tax wage and salary earn
ers would be required to pay next
March Is would be deducted from
periodical pay checks under that
plan. Professional men and other
self-employed would pay part of
their tax every three months.
Ways and Means Chairman Rob
ert l.. Doughton, D., N. c., said the
dollar incease of income taxes over
those Americans now must pay
would exceed 5000, 100000 il the
requirement that married couples
file joint returns remains in the
bill. The committee again voted
for such requirement even though
the House struck the joint return
from the 1871 tax bill.
