KANSAS CITY, Sept. 21.-
Roane Waring of Memphis was
elected national commander of
the American Legion today by an
unanimous vote, after delegates
from every State had stormed
on to the stage with their BAN
ners in his behalf.
Long before Fred johnson of Ala

speech for the Memphis utility ex-

forward toward the stage and
showed past the sergeant of arms.
California seconded the nomina-
ton to make his election unani-

Urges 18-Year Draft.
Earlier the Legion asked Congress
to lower the draft age to 18 years
and to conscript manpower for war
production.
BY an overwhelming standing
vote the Legionnaires at the closing
session of their three-day conven-
ton passed the resolution offered
by the National Defense Commit
tee, headed by Warren H. Atherton,
Stockton, Calf.
In connection with the request
that the draft age be lowered, the
Legion urged Congress to pass leg
islation calling for compulsory mill
tary training after the war in
which every youth would be re-
quired to have at least one year of
training before he reaches the age
of %.
A demand also was voiced for a
Navy large enough to meet any con-
tingency that might arise in world
at war.
Supplementing it's appeal for a
National Service. Act, conscripting
manpower for war production, the
Legion reiterated a demand for it's
long sponsored Universal Service
Act, calling for the drafting OF all
resources of the Nation, including
capital, labor, industry. and agri-
culture as well as the fighting
manpoWer.
"Carry War to Enemy"
The Legionnaires also voted that
never again should geographic
limits be placed on the movement of
the Nations military forces and
added in a resolution from their
National Defense Committee that
ut is better to carry the war to the
enemy than to have him bring war
to U.S."
Other recommendations included
one for the continuation of the vol
untary systems of enlistments in
the Navy. Marines and Coast
Guard, and another that the Navy
and Army departments be urged to
give World War veterans an oppor-
tunity to serve in such capacity as
will best promote the prosecution Of
the war.
The convention also approved

Action on the measures was taken
after ceremony in which the Le-

Arthur. The medal. last conferred
l3 years ago on Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Lands for his work in
establishing the Legion's Junior

The Senate Finance Commit
tee amended the new revenue
bill today to place a limitation
on the amount of Federal income
and victory taxes which could be
collected from any individual at
80 per cent of his net taxable in
come.
Committee attaches said this
would affect only persons with tax
able incomes of approximately
81 900, 900 annually, since the COM
bined rate of both taxes would not
exceed 80 per cent for those in lower
brackets.
Because approximately $4,000 900
persons will be required to file Fed
eral tax returns under the new bill,
the committee acted at the Treas
urys suggestion to eliminate provi-
sion requiring taxpayers to have
their returns notarized.

Colin F.. STAN, head of the con-

jury statutes would cover persons
who made false returns, even though
the returns were not sworn.

Warning to Finland

Secretary of State HullS comment
on Adolf Hitler'S extraordinary visit
to Finland is plain warning to the
Firms to refrain from enlarging the
scope of their war with Russia.
The Finnish government has con-
tended that it is fighting strictly
defensive war-that its basic mill
tary objective is to establish ode
fenSive" line at some point along it's
Russian border that would reason
ably insure Finland's security in the
future. Territorial ambitions at the
expense of Russia have been dis
claimed, and this Government has
been disinclined to interfere with
that somewhat paradoXical state of
affairs.
For obvious reasons, however,
Hitler's visit to Finland, ostensibly to
congratulate Finland's field marshal,
Carl Gustav Mannerheim, on his
birthday anniversary has given rise
to genuine concern in washington.
Der Fuehrer is not in the habit of
paying visits to the political heads
or military chiefs of small states.
His custom is to make them come
to him, and the fact that he has de-
parted from that procedure in this
instance is ample justification for
the belief that his visit is of more
than ordinary significance. The
logical inference is that Hitler, in
desperate need of getting the maxi
mum benefit from all resources at
his command in this years assault
on Russia, will endeavor by every
means to force Finland into an
actively aggressive war against the
SovietS.
There may be doubt concerning
Finland's capacity to launch an Of
fensive against our Russian ally, and
certainly it is to be doubted that the
Firms have any desire to throw in
their lot once and for all with the
Nazis. There is no doubt, however,
that Hitler is capable of bringing
great pressure to bear on the Firms,
and no slightest reason to suppose
that he will hesitate for moment
to do so. 1t is for these reasons that

In these tragic days we are having
splendid demonstrations of courage and
fidelity to high ideals. The press cannot

A fresh exhibition of heroism was re-
Gently made evident in Norway. This
time it was not characterized by the
glamour Of a spectacular martial spirit,
it was in quiet places where men pursue
their daily duties In the SeQueStered
service Of the church. In early February
an order was issued by the traitorous
administrator of Norway, restricting the
rights of the Norwegian Church, inter-
dieting its bishops and clergy, demanding
of them strict obedience to the Quisling
puppet government. The answer Of the
"a bishops was an abrupt and defiant
refusal to obey. A brief and authentic
bit of the narrative is given by an eye
witness:
"On February /, when the service at
Trondheim was over, crowds were
streaming toward the cathedral. A con-
siderable number had already entered
the church when the police arrived and
prevented further crowds from entering
in. 1t was not mob like crowd, but
thousands of earnest Christians. We
lived through one of the strangest half

Income Gain

The disclosure by the Department
of Commerce that higher payrolls
have been the most important factor
in the recent rise in national income
to an all-time peak provides further
evidence that a broader tax base
and increased purchases Of War
bonds are needed to assure the sue
cess Of the administrations anti
imitation campaign. For unless the
new income created by the war boom
is diverted from consumption, pur-
chasing power will outrun the supply
of available civilian goods and the
resulting competition will tend to
push upward the level of prices.
During the first four months Of
1912, according to Department of
Commerce figures, income pay
ments amounted to $33 1888 ,888, 900,
an increase of s6,340 100000. or
% per cent over the total for the
corresponding period last year. The
rise in wages and salaries accounted
for $4,760, ,000,0 900 of this gain. In
manufacturin gindustries total wage
payments increased IL per cent over
the total TO rthe first four months Of
1941. In the durable goods part of
the manufacturing industry, wage
payments registered So per cent
gain.
The income received by owners OF
unincorporated businesses advanced
approximately third. The net in
come of farm operators, the largest
element in this group showed an
increase of So per cent. Dividend
and interest payments were slightly
smaller than in 1941. This was the
only type of income that declined
from last years levels.
Income payments to individuals in
April are estimated at $8,784 ,000, 900,
almost fourth larger than in April.
1941. This would indicate a record
total of $109, ,OOo, 900 900 for this year,

Shunqri La

Shed a tear these days for the
map makers. Hardly do they get out
a sample of their art than 1t be-
comes violently outmoded, leaving
them to do the job all over again.
Their task is like that of the mytho-
logical Sisyphus, condemned to roll
a heavy stone up hill, let it roll
back and push 1t up again, and so
on for eternity.
Now, to add to their troubles,
comes the problem Of Shangri La,
on which they must work in their
spare time, If any. Where in the
world is Shangri La? Details Of it's
location are so vague-almoSt as
vague as Lewis CAROLS description
of the Shark, one of whose five un-
mistakable marks, it may be recalled,
"is it's taste, which is meager and
hollow, though crisp; like a coat
that is somewhat too tight in the
waist, with a flavor of will O. the
wisp." It is fairly well known, for
instance, that Shangri La is the
home Of the sugar bush, the gasoline
spring and the tire tree, and that
dimes planted in its gardens grow
into tax-free dollars-but how does
that help place it? The best clue so
far is that 1t is within bombing
range of Toxic. Map makers Or any
one else who wistfully hope to find
it can, however, accept this consola-
alton; they don't want to find it
