Congress is considering a fed
eral sales tax as a means of rails
ing revenue. The newest idea
is a progressive" or graduated"
sales tax by means of which food
would be taxed at a low rate and
the so called luxury items at a
higher rate. On the surface it ap-
pears that this would require a
new army of collectors. Some
believe that the same result would
be accomplished by lowering the
income tax exemptions and in
creasing the higher surtax rates.
The collection could be made by
the present machinery and small
business, which is already. over
burdened with bookkeeping and
record keeping, would not have
a new burden piled upon it.

1t is reported that the first
group of German prisoners cap
tured in Italy included fighters
recently in action on the Russian
front. This fact indicates that
Stains plea for a second front
is being answered in part at least.
This fact may also account for
some of the slashing victories that
the Russian armies have been
having along the Russian front.

The information is that the ma
ton is facing scarcity in all
kinds of paper. The larger dailies
are going to be called upon to cur
tail their use of print paer. Mag
azines are going to be printed on
lighter weight paper and all writ
ing paper is going to be made
lighter in weight. AS soon as pres
ent stocks are exhausted the light
er paper will begin to appear. The
reason is that due to the lack of
manpower not enough trees are
being cut to supply the mills with
the necessary pulp. We have
reached a point where paper, if
there is going to be enough to go
around, must be conserved.

It is interesting to note the diff
ferent reaction to the ration pro-
gram. Some women are still COM
planning about its complications
and fretting because they are ra-
toned. They can't keep track Of
their stamps. Others have accept
ed it cheerfully as necessary war
measure and have thoroly mas
tered all its details. They know
what stamps are good and when.
They waste no precious energy
fretting over it. They handle it
efficiently and in their stride as
they do their other household OPP
erations.

Sharp horse trading practices
do not pay in business in spite
of the fact that at the time they
seem to. The average person
doesn't care to deal with person
whom he feels he has to watch
and with whom he feels he must
match wits. Most of us like to do
business in a manner where ev-
erything is on the up and up.

NAVY SALUTE

NAVY SALUTE
The preceding four months the
Allies had no merchant ship sunk
In the Atlantic, Winston Churchill
informed the House of Commons,
during September. Since this is
the way we send hundreds of
thousands of troops overseas, since
this is how we supply and REIN
force these troops and since it is
over this route we send supplies
to our Allies, Kennewick is keen1y
interested in this statement of our
victory on the Atlantic Ocean. The
U-boat menace has cost us a great
loss in life and vital equipment.
We are happy to salute the Navy
on its official day, with special
praise for its protection.
A long time has passed since
1776 when a makeshift fleet of
eight converted merchantmen,
brigs and sloops, became the
American Navy. In spite of hard
ships and limitations, through the
years our navy grew. During the
first World War, the United States
Navy was not named in the same
class as the British and German
navies. We had not felt in need
of its protection, perhaps. And
then, far beyond any hopeful
dream of any far-sighted member
of the Continental Congress in
1776, the navy expanded. It built
to an unbelievable size until now
the Navy Department announces
that since mid-1940 our US. Navy
has become "the greatest sea-air
power on EARTH" This means that
in spite of transfers, of losses, our
country can replace ships with
more speed than any other nation.
So on this Navy Day of 1943, the
people of these United States ac-
claim the men and the ships, those
who man them and those who
build them, that this powerful
weapon for our defense will not
perish but be maintained for the
common welfare, is our hope.

Z A new system of magnetic wire
recording has been perfected by
the General Electric Co., that
promises to make the old type of
record recording obsolete. By
speech or program an hour in
length is recorded on a roll of wire
the size of a doughnut. When
there is no longer need for the
recording it can be wiped off
the wire and a new and different
recording made on the same wire.
The wire may be used as much
as 100000 times without altering
its recording quality.

Since Oct. /, Bibles have been
rationed to retail book dealers by
the publishers. The reason is that
publishers are unable to supply
the demand. The shortage is ex-
pected to continue for the dura-
ton. Bibles are scarce because
of the unprecedented demand for
them from men and women in the
armed forces and by people at
home. Paper rationing is another
reason for the shortage.

AS TO THE FOREIGNER

There is concern IN some circles
regarding our policy following the
war, in permitting the foreigner
the emigration rights to this coun-
try, of what about restraining
laws of quotas and limited per-
centages. Before we entered this
war-a large.number of people emf
grated here from Europe, refugees
seeking freedom in a friendly
land. We have profitted in the
type of men and women who have
brought to America much in the
way of culture with education in
lines of art, science and literature.
Some of these forced to migrate
have become teachers in our
schools and, colleges. Their per-
secution has been a lesson to us
in offering them understanding
and a place in our community as
friends and neighbors. We under
stand that after the war, many of
them who have sought haven
here will return to their own coun-
try, to take their place again amid
their own people, to help in the
reconstruction of their land. This
nations history is built on lives
of people who came as foreigners
to these shores, who came in steer
age perhaps, who struggled to
reach the land of dreams, hoping
to find the pot Of gold at the rain
bows end in America. They found
hard work awaiting them, rude
awakening from ideas of wealth
and grandeur. They settled down
to labor and live, to raise FAM
lilies which later became the foun-
ders of some of the country's
greatest projects, largest indus
tries, finest institutions, worthiest
laws and administrations. We are
a mixed people within these states
and a people who realize that it
is only healthy not to be preju-
diced against the foreign speech,
the foreign face, the foreign man
ner. We will consequently APP
proach the problem of emigration
in the war settlement plans, with
a broad and understanding mind.

Hickey to "Wait and See'' Before Naming New
 Dodge Manager

New York, Feb. 17 - (UP.) - Leo (The Lip) Durocher, the fiery and loQuacious manager who finally brought "next year" to Brooklyn was one step away from Uncle Sam's armed forces today.
 The cocky little guy who ended the Flatbush theme song of wait Til Next Year" when he piloted the Dodgers to the National League pennant in 1941 has passed his pre- liminary physical examination.
 Draft Board officials revealed last night that "Lippy Leo" wouldn't be batting tilnpires at Ebbets Field this season. In view of his IA status, they said he'd probably be inducted late next month or early in April.
 Has Done We'll
 Durocher, 38 in May, thus tempo rarily reached the end of 8 stormy baseball career in which he served with the New York Yankees, Cin- cinati Reds, St. Louis Cardinals, and the Dodgers. He was named Brooklyn manager at the end of the 1888 campaign, pulled the team out of the second division and never has been out of the first four.
 President Branch Rickey, advised of Durocher's IA reclassiflcation, said he planned no immediate ac. tion toward naming a new pilot.
 "1ll wait and see what happens" Rickey said. "But If Leo hasn't been inducted by late next month I'll have to take some action"

MIGHTY YANKEE. .SLUCCER SPURNS .s45,OOO SALARY
Draft Board Sanctions En- Iistment; Wife Says
 "SweIl"
BY DAN MCGUIRE United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

(Unlye0 Press starr COEFespOndent)
 San Francisco, Feb. l7.-(UP)- Joseph Paul Di Maggie, Jr.--a leggy Italian whose thundernig bat made him the pride of Yankee stadium swaps the wagon-tongue for a bayonet today.
 "Joltin' Joe" who fought his way up from the sandlots of Frisco to become the mightiest slugger of the hard-hitting New York Yankees, leaves haseball's highest salary to join Uncle Sain's fighting men.
 The 28-year old outfielder, mar ried and the father of an infant son, announced last night that he had received permission from his draft board to enlist and would be inducted today.
 I've been planning this since last season." said the rangy athlete whose slugging carried the Yankees to six American league pennants and five world championships sinse he came up to the majors in 1936.
 T had some business and personal affair to wind up and when every thing was all set I applied to my draft board for voluntary induc- ton. Everything is up to Uncle Sam now"
 DivOrces Baseball
 Joe. first revealed his intention of. enlisting last month after he and his wife, the former Dorothy Arnold of stage and screen, were reconciled in Reno, where she had gone to obtain a divorce. DiMaggo said he would leave baseball "for the duration"
 Mrs. DiMaggio said she thought Joes enlistment was "swelp.
 DiMaggio was modest youngster with a broad smile when the Yam kees purchased him from the San Francisco Seals in 1885 for $25, ,000 and five players. Swiftly he be- came the key man of the new "rnur- derers' row" and was n1ned the major leagues number one player of 1889 as well as the American leagues most valuable player that year and in 194O. He holds a number of batting records.
 Big Money
 DiNGaggio's greatest feat was hit- ting safely in 56 consecutive games for new major league record in l94l. It brought him a reported $43 ,000 last season, the games high- est salary.
 A product of San Francisco's North Beach Italian colony, Di- Maggie is unconcerned regarding his future assignment.
 "1Il be in there pitching where- ever they put me-" he said.
 Regarding the game that brought him fame and fortune DiMaggio said: ..
 T want to see baseball go ahead. I know I'll be interested in what the teams are doing no matter where I might be. guess the other fel- lows feel like that, too."

Race Track Problem

New York, Feb. IT - .(UP9 - Directors of the Thoroughbred Rac- ing Associations met today to cone sider how to keep the nations race tracks running without interfering with the war effort.
 Representing the principal turf centers were John 0. Clark, Matt Winn, Carleton Burke, Judge James E. Dooley, Henry A. Parr III, George Francis and Benjamin F. Lindheimer.
 Two problems facing the meeting were transportation to tracks not easily accessible and a proposed pooling" in the Chicago area.
 Arlington Park, Washington Park and Lincoln Fields, all in the Chi. cago area, are outside the city while Hawthorne and the half-lnile Sportsman Park are within the city limits. There was possibility that all the Chicago area meetings. ex- cept that of Sportsman'S, might be moved to Hawthorne.

Blake 6 Johnson Bowling Notes

not, but one thing we do know if 1t was up to your team from stop ping us, we wouldn't have much to worry about. The LeatherneckS record against the Rangers isn't very convinceable and probably will be more less 50 when the two square of again.
 Perry White, who has been gloat- ing over his suckers for the past several weeks suddenly had the tough experience of having his prey turn on him with even more tenac- ity. Perry didn't make the usual number of trips into Department T Monday morning to cheer up his fallen foes. And you can bet your life Perry wasn't looked up either, he doesn't need any sympathy.
 Two of the hardest workers in the league belong in the ranks of the Doughboys. We're speaking of Georgie Cipriano and Wild Bill Cor man. MT. Clip is one of the best clutch bowlers in the circuit, his timely spares being very big req son for the uprisal of the once down -trodden Stokesmen. George attributes his success to his newly adapted farm life. He is known as the Squire of Prospect--out there in the wilds.
 We couldn't help but notice Bill German last week as he suffered and joyed with the progress of his team. This guy really gets some thing out of bowling, especially this year. Bills been with the cellar tenants two years running now and he thinks 1t is high time to be with winner. Well, Bill there is somebody with the Rangers that finds themselves in the same posi- ton. You remember Gertie Gang loff, she was a teammate of yours on those last place aggregations. Her team has 0 pretty good chance Of coming out on top, too and 1t would be a shame if you turned out to be the villain that deprived her of that honor.
