Meanwhile, Mrs. Miller was
examined by DR.. Paul j. De Riv-
er, police psychiatrist, who re-
ported she had a mild hysterical
amnesia, and that she is on the
road to recovery.
She will gradually regain a
full state of consciousness if she
has tender care and attention,
DR.. De River said.
"Unquestionably she is suffer
ing from a complex formation,
which has entered the stream of
consciousness from the uncon-
scious realms of the mind"
Mrs. Miller's plight was dis
closed Sunday night when she
appeared at Hollywood police
station following her disappear
ance Friday. She told police she
found herself driving on North
Hollywood street in a strange
automobile. Miller meantime
had reported her absence, and
they were reunited. But when
informed Miller was her hus-
band she screamed and became
hysterical.
She told police her last men,
DRY was of entering her Atasca-
dero, Calf, home Nov. /, 1941,
and finding her first husband,
Weller, dead in a chair.
She remembers clearly her
life before that time. Born in
Harrisburg, Pa, she was the
daughter of neWspaperman
Murray c. Beck, and tells of
working on the Binghampton pa
per of which Weller was city
editor when he married her in
1896.

Erront Motormun Hands Out Free Rides
Over Trolley Route Picked by His Whim

A veteran Capital Transit motor
man went for a ride in a streetcar
yesterday-and it took the combined
resources of the police department
and his employers to head him off.
The matter first came to atten-
ton when a woman alighted at
Twelfth street and Pennsylvania
avenue NV. where the car had
paused briefly, and halted a police
man.
The motorman on that car is
drunk" she said, pointing to the
trolley which by that time was NOV
ing west again.
There were two reasons for her
conclusion, it developed later. One
was that the car was marked
Mount Pleasant" and belonged
two blocks farther north. There
were reports also that as passen-
gers were picked up in the course
of the journey, which started at
Fourteenth and East Capitol streets,
the motorman had waved them by
the fare box, with an expansive,

1943 National Income
To Reach 135 Billion,
Jesse Jones Says
Secretary Estimates
Goin Over Record Year
Of 1912 at 18 Billion
By OLIVER MCKEE.

Secretary of Commerce Jones
estimated last night that ma
tional income in 1943 would
reach S135, ,OOO,O 100000, an in
crease of $4,000, 100000 over
this year, and more than three
times the total at the bottom of
the depression in 1882.
Expanding production and rising
prices have pushed national income
this year to an all-time peak of
more than 100000 900, he said
compared with the 1941 figure of
sos 900 ,O0O, 900.
The estimate for this year COM
pares with the 1929 income of s83.-
265 900 900, record until last year,
and the 1882 mark of S39 991 .0OO.-
600, since when the national income
has climbed each year except 1898.
100 Billion Recovery Goal.
President Roosevelt set a $780,
600 100000 income as the goal for
recovery from the depression.
Last March the Commerce De-
partment had estimated this years
income at $1l3,0 100000 900.
The largest dollar volume increase
| during 1912 is anticipated for wages
and salaries, which Mr.. Jones said
would exceed $4,000, 1000 900, COM
pared with SCI ,000,OOO,0OO last year.
The largest percentage gain was
his estimate of As per cent for agri-
culture net income which Mr.. Jones
attributed to higher farm prices.
The income of business firms NAV
drop or 6 per cent from the 1941
level of $7,206, 100000 because of in
creased taxes, Mr.. Jones said, add
ing that it was difficult to estimate
their net earnings for next year in
view of uncertainties over new taxes
and possible industrial shifts because
of the war
Plant Conversion Over.
One favorable factor for the cor
porations, he said, is that conversion
of most durable goods plants to war
production will have been completed
and they need not expect Interrupt
tions due to changeover from civil
ian production such as occurred in
many plants this year.
His estimate of 1943 income. Mr..
Jones explained, is based on the
present price level and predicated on
further rise in the output of goods
and services.

OF New Offensive
40-MiIe Advance Into

Months Of Preparation
Rs the Associated Press


NEW DELHI, India, Dec 19.-
A part of the army of Gen. Sir
Archibald P. Wavell has passed
to the attack after months of
preparation and has advanced
about 40 miles into Burma in the
first phase of an offensive to re-
open the Burma road to China.
A cautiously Worded communique
telling of this latest addition to the
list of world wide United Nations
offensives said:
During the past few days some
of our troops have advanced south
ward from the Arakan border into
Western Burma and occupied the
-Buthidaung area about
60 miles northwest of Akyab.
The enemy, who had been in oc-
cupation of this area since our
withdrawal from Burma and had
prepared defenses, withdrew with
out Offering opposition"
Maungdaw and Buthidaung are
about 40 miles south of the Indian
border. Akyab, a small seaport and
air base on the eastern side of the
Bay of Bengal, is to the south down
the Mayu River. Gen. Wavell has
force of 100000 men.
No Hint Of Scope Given.
While the restraint of the an
nouncement gave no hint as to the
scope of the offensive, observers
noted the reference to some of our
troops" and wondered if other parts
OF the huge army which Gen. Wavell
has drilled and equipped in India
might not be ready to strike else
where.
Ever since 1t. Gen. Joseph Still

he turned north, swung around the
Senate Office Building, and through
the tunnel. Then he made a left
turn south, and passengers who had
been under the mistaken impression
that they were going to the Mt.
Pleasant section, began to have their
doubts, as no left turn was called
for at that stage. Grandly the car
swooped around Peace Monument,
and then down the avenue, and the
passengers knew something was
wrong.
Then came the Twelfth-street in
terlude.
After Pvt. Glass took charge of
the motorman, they stopped at the
ninth precinct. Police were not Ger
tain whether the traffic problem or
something stronger had overcome
the operator, but they charged him
with intoxication. He was released
on $25 collateral, after being booked

nants, pushed its spearhead 120
miles west of Ell Aghelia today,
some 35 miles behind the Ger

intense bombing.
In flight across Mussolini's last
African colony the Afrika Korps

The Morocco radio said the most
advanced elements Of the 9th Army
had reached point 10 miles from
Sirte, which is 155 miles beyond
Ell Agheila, but there was no con-
firmation from any other source.
The British made no mention of

10000, reported trapped between
Marble Arch and the Wadi (gulch
Matratin, indicating the Germans
might have broken the block and
enabled at least some to continue
their flight west with the main
body of Marshal Rommel's force.
Some Reported Breaking Out.
Reuters, quoting radio observer
in Cairo, said some of Marshal
Rommel's rearguard broke out of
the net by means of superior weight
of armour.
The observers said the Germans
already were ploughing up their
airfields far to the west of the ad-
vancing British.
The Berlin radio declared that
"Rommels rear guard, in high

the main body of the Axis\ army. "

Mr.. Smith said that after January

Mr. Smith disclosed the system in

said, in part:
Businessmen may, in some in
stances, justifiably complain that
not all data requests that have been

There is no disagreement between
Government and business leaders
concerning the desirability of re-
ducing paper work to a minimum.
However, it will be recognized
that many of the statistical activi-
ties in which Federal departments
and agencies are engaged are essen
tlal to the successful prosecution of
the war, and to the extent that
this burden is necessary it must
be regarded as An incident to the
war"
