Of Author John Howard Lawson to
break the monotony of waste-land

capture of the Italian soldier "a

Sudanese sergeant major to the
tank crew, the straflng of the group
by subsequently Shutdown Ger
man fighter pilot, the death of a
pleasant English soldier. But. for
all their plausibility, these breaks
in the story are not dramatically
sturdy enough to interrupt your
conjecture as to where the retreat

going, league after league. through
that desert. After all motor fuel

and director of Sahara" should not
have overlooked that.
The climax of the picture. a not
uninspired one. in which the iso-
lated tank crew decides to fight a
delaying action, suffers from the
circumstance that delaying actions
have been pretty we'll exploited by
the movies.
Bogart gives one Of his typical.
hard-boiled impersonations as the
American sergeant. and the others
render him support that would be
adequate if the story Of Sahara

Pinning medal on a soldier or

loudly while it lasts. And hardly
before the next hour or minute has
expired, unwittingly tucked into the
back recesseS of the mind-princi-
pal, ceremony and all. Perhaps
mostly So is the very motivation for
the ceremony lost in the shower of

or not.

DR.. Parran Predicts
Increased Demand for
Hospitals After War

A more important role than they
have ever before played in the
community awaits hospitals in the
postwar era, DR.. Thomas w. Par
ran, surgeon general of the United
States Public Health Service, yes
terday told members of the Mary
land-District of Columbia Hospital
Association, in concluding sessions
at the Hotel Washington.
DR.. Parran predicted that the de-
mand for hospital service, born of
wartime emergencies, will continue
on an upward trend.
More people are getting into
the habit of going to hospitals for
conditions that were previously
cared for at home he said.
AfiiliatiOn With Centers.
r. Parran urged a closer affil-
iation between hospitals and COM
munity health centers, where vari-
Gus types of clinical and diagnos-
tical services can be performed. He
said he believed more such centers
should be organized with the assist
ance of the larger hospitals and
that they should be regarded as
adjuncts of the hospitals.
The surgeon general said he
hoped the inevitable postwar ex-
pansion of existing hospital facili-
! ties would be in line with carefully
preconceived plans drawn up by
hospital heads to meet community
needs and avoid costly overlapping
Greater reliance by the public

plans under which 100000 per-

Treatment on Basis of Need.
He said he believed doctors now
in the armed forces would come
back to their communities less sat-
lSfied with the system which here
tofore has afforded medical care
to persons on the basis of their
ability to pay for it. He said these
doctors are becoming conditioned to
treating patients solely on the ba-
sis of their need for medical aid.
Reporting on the progress of the
Student Nursing Corps, set up under
the Bolton Act last June, DR.. Parran
said it would be necessary for exist
ing schools to expand about 35 per
cent to accommodate all of the 65,-
900 new applicants who are already
in training or are ready to take the
courses. He said of the / ,255 eligible

This is the enemy as the Russians
know him. and as others farther

these are the Russians that took
the word defeat from their vocabu-
laries and mashed the pride of the

essary to finance the war and to
curb imitation must inevitably reach
far down into the income scale. Tax
rates for taxpayers in the upper
income groups are already so high
that substantial additional taxation
cannot be imposed upon these
groups. The effect of the remission
OF taxes contained in the Senate bill
would, therefore, be a transfer Of a
substantial part Of the cost OF the
war from the upper income to the
middle and lower income groups
upon whom tax increases must be
chiefly imposed. Others, including
those now on the battlefront, would
later be obliged to shoulder the bur-
den from which our most fortunate
taxpayers have been relieved.
Proviso Fails.
The so-called anti-windfau pro-
visions Of the bill do not go to the
heart Of this basic inequity. Al
though they would reduce the total
amount Of forgiveness, the reduc-
ton would be made in an inequi-
table way. It would be made at the
expense Of people whose businesses
have been dislocated by the war
as much as it would be at the ex-
pense of those who have been en-
riched by war profits. It would
also be at the expense of many peo-
pie whose incomes have increased
since 1910 not because Of the war,
but because they have just arrived
at their greatest earning capacity.
Those who have always had large
incomes get the greatest windfall
and they are untouched by the anti

DeItS identical letters to Chair
men George and Ddnghton OF the
Congressional Tar Committees
tollotos:
The revenue bills recently passed
by the House and the Senate contain
certain provisions putting taxpayers
on a pay-as-you-go basis by means
of collection at the source and cur.
rent payment Of the income tax
Needed relief is also given to mil.
lions of men and women in ouI
armed forces.
I am eager, as am sure the whole
country is eager, to see our taxes
put on a pay-as-you-go basis at the
earliest possible moment. Ever since
1941 the Treasury has consistently
recommended provisions designed to
this end. Such provisions would
help hold the line against imitation.
Enriches Upper Income Group.
The Senate bill, however, provides
for the cancellation of whole years. s
taxes. This CANCELLATION would re-
suit in highly inequitable distribu-
ton Of the cost of the war and in
an unjust and discriminatory en-
richment of thousands of taxpayers
in the upper income groups. Such
groups will be enriched by the can
collation. of taxes already owing by
them. The Senate bill would give to
man with an income of $4,000 a
year cancellation of taxes equalling
less than four weeks income after
taxes; q man with an income of
500, 900 would receive q cancellation
equalling 20 months income after
taxes. The latter would have can
celed more than all war tax in
creases since 1899, and would thus
escape financial contribution to the
war effort.
The fact that the upper income
groups may pay just as many dollars
into the Treasury in 1943 on account
Of their liability for 1943 does not
detract from their enrichment nor
change the result that they would
have permanently escaped tax on
1912 income.
