| NEW YORK, June %. tUP)-The
ST. Louis Cardinals were still in
possession of first place in the Ma
tional League today as the race ap-
preached the significant July 4
mid-week mark. but to all appear
ances the Brooklyn Dodgers were
ready to put up strenuous strug-
gle to regain the top spot.
The Dodgers meet the Cardinals
in the opener of three-game Sc
ries at Ebbets Field Saturday and
are in perfect shape to close the
half-game gap that separates them
from the drivers seat.
Brooklyn conditioned its squad
for the invasion of the western
clubs of the senior loop by playing
its eastern rivals 20 games, includ-
ing the program with a double win
over the PhillieS on Sunday. The
Dodgers seemed on the verge of
leaving the race to the Cardinals
in early sessions with the Braves,
Phillies and Giants, dropping sew
en- out of nine contests. They came
to life with a late squirt. however,
and put across nine victories in
their last II encounters and will
carry a three-game winning streak
against the Reds in benefit dou-
BILE tomorrow,
BARKLEY HELPS
Perhaps a large part of the Dodg-
erS revival may be credited to new
conner Johnny Barkley, latest of a
long line of performers to try and
fill the shortstop berth left vacant
by Pc Wee Reese. Barkley was put
into a breach left when Albie Clos
sop injured his left knee and per-
formed ably enough, although he
had only been playing semi-pro ball
in Wichita and had been out OF or
ganized ball for two years.
His chief claim to fame is speed,
both at the plate and on the field.
He gets the ball away fast on de-
fense and charges down the base
line like a comet when he bats He
may give Glossop struggle for the
regulars slot, at that.
SQUAD UNIQUE
Returning to the Cardinals, dub
bed a better team than last years
by no less an authority than Sam
Breadon, president of the outfit,
this years squad is unique in that
at least one department SO far
base stealing.
Hi-jacking bases has always been
a specially with Red Bird squads
but somewhere, somehow, Manager
Billy SouthWorth's team took a bad
turn. The Red Birds have stolen
only seven bases to date, figure
much smaller than any other club
in the circuit. Possibly the repu-
tation, pirates of the basepaths,
has proved their undoing by put
ting opposing teams on their met
tie. Opposition clubs do not take
any chances when SouthWorth's
speedsters get on base and that may
be the answer to what seems to be
the only glaring fault with the l943
Cardinals.
In the only game played in the
ajors yesterday, Pittsburgh length
ened its third-place lead over Gin
cinnati to one and half games by
defeating the Reds, IL, in a night
contest. Rip Sewell chalked up his
tenth win of the year by sloW-ball-
ing his way to a seVen-hitter. The
Pirates made short work of the
veteran Bucky Walters, talying
three times as Bob Elliott homered
with one on in the first and kayo-
ing him with four-run blast in
the second. SeWell accounted for
two runs with a triple.

two minor railroads radiate from Kharkov and in normal times 1t was served by six airlines.
 The city is flanked on the south- west by the Pick Krivoi Rog iron district west of the Dnieper, still in German hands, and on the south. east by extensive coal fields of the Donets Basin.
 Because of this favorable location, Kharkov was crowded with indus. tries before the war. It had many aviation equipment plants and trac- tor factories. The former had been converted to manufacture of hght- ing planes and the latter, to tanks before the city fell.
 Other factories turned out dyna- mos, electricial fixtures, locomotives, chemicals, bicycles, candies, carved woods and prepared foods. Kharkov supplied other farm machinery as well as tractors for the fertile black earth regions of the Ukraine.

 If 1t is morc than S2.000, you multiply the firsC s2000 by l3 per cent, and the next S2000 Cor part thereof) by i6 per cent and add them together, and so on.

How To Calculate Your Tax And Surtax Total

most cases this Is your actual fed- eral income tax in full.
 Line 30 may differ from line 20 only if you have had long-term capital gains. The maximum tax upon long-term gains is 25 per cent (50 per cent of the half of the gain which IS included in income). The alternative tax which is computed in Schedule F Is to be entered on line 30 only if it is less than the tax shown on line 29.
 In the case of certain bonds, a tax is paid at the source before you receive income from them. In that event, you may deduct the amount of such tax on line 31. Similarly, if you paid an income tax to foreign country or U. s. possession, this may be deducted on line g.
 For most taxpayers, however, line B, which is the tax you must pay, will be the same as line 20.
 You must start payment of your tax on the 18th day of the third AAAOAtdA dACCI bA1C CA4A O4 yVuI ttAA~ able year.
 If you are on a calendar year, this means March IS. You must pay at least one-quarter of your federal tax at this time. You may pay the rest in equal quarterly pay- ments on or before the 18th of June, September and December.

Peace Feelers Give
 Foe Breathing Spell
Overtures Not Intended to Help Us Says Raymond
 CIapper; Sound Harmless, But Are Just Opposite

United Nations, or to weaken the fighting spirit of the United Na- tions, or to distract attention from the hard necessities of the war, to confuse opinion by encouraging division and Pacifist sentiment, to split the war aims and effort of the United Nations, to keep alive false hope of an easy peace, or finally to keep a line out for real peace nego- tiations when actual military disas- ter appears inevitable. '
 Rumors of friction between var- ious ruling groups in Germany or Italy or Japan should be interpreted as propaganda moves. One purpose is to promote the impression that reasonable groups exist within the Axis countries with whom the United Nations might make Q last ing and reasonable peace. If any such groups actually exist you may be certain that those now In con- trol would regard them only as pup pets thruogh which to work.
 What is the difference between Hitler and his generals2 So far as we are concerned, none. The old im- perialists don't differ from the new ones. The crowd around the Kaiser was out for the same domination that the present crowd has att tempted. There may be differences in technique, but none in the cotn- mon aim of making Germany the master nation. In 1918 and now, the keys to German aggression are the German army, German political :, adership, and German industrial leadership, which may be the most powerful force of all. Victory over all of them IS necessary.
 Peace feelersr from erlemy-don- mated governments or which appear to come from neutral sources, can well be examined suspiciously, be- cause the chances are they have been planted by enemy sources.
 From now on an early peace favors the Axis leaders. They want to hold as much as they can of what they have. The longer the war goes, the more they stand to lose. That is why they will try to undermine by clever peace maneuvers the uncondi- tional- surrender demand announced at Casablanca. z

Washington, Feb. 17-When Eng land was in danger of invasion in the summer of 1940, every house. holder and every housewife was in- structed in how to deal with enemy parachutists who might suddenly appear in the back yard.
 Now, I think we need to instruct ourselves in how to watch out for another kind of parachute attack that may be coming down in our midst at any tine-not Q parachut- ist with Q carbine or a machine gun, but the more insidious para chutist known as the peace feeler. You can't see him come down. He is mysterious, like the gremlins, and hides in your newspaper and in your radio. Because of the way the war is going, he is apt to pop out at any time, looking harmless and friendly.
 The first thing to keep in mind about these peace feelers is that they are not intended to help us. Their purpose is to help the enemy, no matter how harmless they sound. When the enemy faces military de- feat, he will try to talk his way out of 1t. He will conduct @ talk offen- sive to evade the full consequences of defeat.
 Germany asked for on armistice last time, and set about At once thereafter, with her war industry intact, to prepare for the next world war--through methods described in "Germany's master plan," the story of the German industrial offensive, by Joseph Berkin and Charles A.. Welsh. Peace overtureS are one form of the enemy strategy of war, a re- quest for Q breathing spell during which new diplomatic and military action can be planned, and indus trial weaknesses overcome.
 . An analysis which I have seen of the technique of peace offensives classifies peace feelers in several categories. The enemy usually has ct least one peace offensive in op- eration as a part of systematic psy- chological and military warfare. The purpose may be to test morale and opinion among the people of the
