Of War Hospitality" This COM
mittee, under the auspices of the
Federation Of Churches, serves
the purpose Of bringing all faiths
together and will, Mrs. Hirsh
feels, be equally important dur
ing the postwar era.
But it is about Mrs. Hirsh's
work with the USO at the Jewish
Community Center here that we
especially wanted to write. Since
the first week in October she
has been general chairman Of
the Army and Navy Committee
Of the USO Jewish Welfare Board
and she is doing a whale of job
at 1t. The Jewish Community
Center, you know, represents the
Jewish community in Washing
ton, and they have generously
contributed various educational,
recreational and entertainment
facilities in their beautiful build
on Sixteenth and Que streets for
the use of servicemen and women.
Yes, women too. for this is the
first co-educational USO in
Washington. Servicewomen have
use Of all the USO facilities in
the building the beautiful
swimming pool, the snack bar,
the lounges, the entertainment
programs, lectures, dances, etc.
Every evening there's some at
tractive entertainment program.
Forums are perhaps the most
popular, with the dances a close
second. But the servicemen and
women don't wait until evening to
drop in-they start coming about
four in the afternoon. That way
there is time for a swim and then
they can have their fill of tea and
goodies at the snack bar. All
sorts of different cheeses, tasty
little hors d'oeuvre, coffee and
the always on hand Jars of home

son, and all the lounge activities
are under the direction Of Mrs.
Morris Gewirz, while Mrs. Mitch
ell Novak heads the Emergency
Housing Committee. The junior
hostesses who are all registered
war workers help out with the
dances and parties and all, like
every other woman mentioned,
entirely, volunteer.
There is about the whole a
honey sort of feeling and anyone
who knows Mrs. Hirsh must
realize that she has done much
to create this atmosphere. Her
own apartment is charming-her
own four children attractive,
well-mannered and natural. They
aren't exactly children anymore
the oldest boy is now on duty
in Australia, the next to Oldest
son is in the reserves waiting to
be called to duty in the signal
corps. The pretty 19-year-old
daughter works at the TWA Ma
tional Airport on the night shift
Gust now, and the l2-year-old
boy is the baby. although he
probably will hate being called
that. The oldest son and the
daughter both paint and the
whole family loves music.
A few days ago 1t was Mr..
Hirsh's birthday, but his daughter
had to go off to work before the
rest of the family was even
awake-so she left a little note
with her present on the break
fast table, and this is what it
said:
Dear Dad,
"Sorry I can't be with you
today to wish you a happy BIRTH
day in person but I've got to go
to work to keep 'em fiying!"

LET'S MAKE IT FOUR. GOVERNOR
torlsndo sentinel-Sisr)

Gov Holland in his address before the con-
vention of the Circuit Court Clerks here Friday,
advocated the Legislature submit three amend
ments to be voted upon in the next general election
for the strengthening of Florda's tax structure.
OF the amendments suggested was one to re-
duce the now minimum three-mill tax which must
be levied according to law for maintenance of the
schools and to reduce ceiling the present ten
mill levy which is permitted for special school dis
tricts and to reduce the fiye-mi levy intangible
taxes something like the present customary one
mill levy.
There is another amendment which we think
should be asked and that is ceiling real estate,
which to US is more important than that of the in
tangible tax.
In his address, Mr. Holland reduced the subject
TO $1,000 bond as a means of explaining his po-
siton. $1,000 bond, yielding per cent interest,
brings in $40 year On the present customary one
mill levy the tax would be 81. Under this tax the
bondholder would pay ID per cent of the bonds
yield in State taxes. However if the full five mills
were levied as now permitted by the Constitution
the tax would be II l2 per cent the income which
would be excessive. 1t is to make such tax impos
sible that Gov. Holland suggests the amendment.
The suggestion is wise one, for excessive tax
alton could keep number of persons from choos-
ing Florida for their home as Northern investors
often pat their money in intangibles.
However, Florida real estate owners should b.
given the same sort of protection For years at q
time real estate barely yielded an income suffi-
Gent to pay its tax and when repairs we're made,
the property had to go into his pocket to pay
for them.
At the present the demand for rental property
makes it profitable investment but also the
dropping off of tax revenues makes il imperative
that taxing bodies either find new sources of taxes
or raise the mage and real estate is the easiest
tax commodity TO locate the tendency has been e
up the miage on it. And that has been done iT
the past to where thousands of property owners
have lost their property because they could moi
Fay the almost confiscatory tax levied
Therefore along with the ceiling on intangible
taxes. Should also go an amendment to limit the
tax on real estate. Gov. Hollands tax program is
sound, and should be enacted, but we do believe
real estate should be given the degree of pro-
lection that is desired for the intangible investor

AMERICANS LIKE THE TRUTH

Labor today is the most powerful single
group in the nation. It can make or break
the war effort Labor leaders, by demand
ing their pound of flesh during the emer-
gency, can bring disastrous initiation which
would wipe out a half century of labor
gains, together with the savings and stand
ards of living of every man, woman and
child in the country
Is it any wonder that Captain Eddie
Rickenbacker has asked labor to make
sacrifices along with the rest of us, forego
extravagant overtime demands, help to pro-
tect the working rights of men returning
from war, cease disruptive jurisdictional
strife and make-work tactics; are shese
things too much to ask of labor at a time
when the country is fighting for its very
life? They most certainly are not.
The public agrees heart and soul with
every word that Rickenbacker has uttered
Those who attempt to discredit him as a
labor hater, will hurt labor, because the
words he has spoken were born when he
was very near to death. Men near death
think and speak the truth. And Americans
like to hear the truth, no matter how un-
pleasant.

IN TIPToP CONDITION

Two news stories of outstanding i'm
portance to the people of Key West have
been published in The Citizen this week
One is related to the other, though the for
mer is incidental The Big Thing, the most
essential thing to Q ur economic welfare
was the announcement OF Thomas Johnson,
chairman of the State Road Department,
that all bridges now in course of coEstrue-
ton on the keys will be completed by La
Dor Day.
The other story, though of secondarr
Importance to the opening of the bridges
to traffic. is related closely to our eco
nomic welfare, too 1t was the announce
ment OF OPA Administrator Prentiss Brown
that he is considering lifting the ban on So.
called pleasure driving. The likelihood is.
though no definite date was mentioned BIZ
him, that the ban will be lifted on March
%. As a result of that edict on pleasure
driving, collection of tolls on the bridges
last month fell off more than $4,000, as
compared with February. 1912.
Everybody, who drives over the pres
ent Overseas Highway, complains about its
poor condition There have been instances
where drivers avoid passing over the road,
even on business. Only recently, Sheriff
Berlin Sawyer was requested to take two
insane persons as far as Miami. as the
driver of the asylum wagon was averse to
making the trip over the road.
Drivers of produce trucks, who make
regular trips to Miami, will hail with de-
light the opening of the new bridges. Driv-
ing to Miami two or three times week Is
{; man-sized job, because one has to be on
the qui vive from the time he leaves Stock
Island till he reaches the outskirts of Flor
ida City.
A further straining ON the n e rv es is
caused by delays at bridges, when ponder
Gus vans going in opposite directions, have
to be operated at crawl or stop altogether
till bridge is clear.
Labor Day, 1925, was outstanding in
the history of Key West, when, for the first
time, Key Wester was able to drive his
car beyond the confines of the city, except,
of course, Stock Island And the road then
ran up only as far as Saddle Bunches.
We celebrated then, so how much
more should we celebrate on Labor Day,
1943, when we will have a system of as
substantial bridges as can be built, when we
will have roadway that will be in tiptop
condition, for it should be borne in mind
that the State Road Department, in addi-
ton to building or having built % bridges,
is also paving SO miles of highway.
Good news for Key West; our lifeline
to the mainland in tiptop condition!
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1943-03-05

During the mutiny, according to
G.. Anderson and M. Subedar in
Expansion of British India"
Vague prophecies foretelling the
downfall of British power after
the completion of a hundred years
supremacy Were retold."
Today, with leaders of both
sides agreed on the principle of
freedom, such prophecies must
carry even greater weight in the
native bazaars.
If the present crisis is weathered
and after the war Britain elects
to follow the American precedent
with the Philippines of a 10-year
waiting period" it is possible
that the British RAJ" will reach
a natural, planned conclusion 200
years after Plassey, 100 after the
Ml.iny-in 1857.
