Berlin unscarred in all of World War I, and reached
only with token bombardment during the early years

The recently announced heavy raids upon Berlin
have been carried out under odinafily unfavorable
weather condtions-a fact which emphasizes the skill
and planning of the aerial operations. And OF grim
significance to the Nazis is the fact that relatively
few of the heavy bombers have been knocked down
on each raid.
At the current rate of losses, the massive raids
upon Berlin could be continued indefinitely, and

In the House of Representatives,
the tax sessions were bit liveiier,
though not much. The House pass
ed the tax bill after one day OF
floor consideration and with very
little debate. The attitude OF most
Congressman was that there had TO

as possible.
The House Ways and Means
Committee gave more time ano
study to taxes, but only handful
of members really worked at the
lob. They included North caro-

really knows taxes; Tennessee's

on the committee; Oklahoma's Dis
ney, also a real expert; Virginia

Military Information
Cincinnati Enquirer


One of the many beneficial results would could
come from q conference between Roosevelt, Stain
and Churchill would be the lifting of the blanket OF
secrecy which has hidden most of the Russian mill
tary organization from Great Britain and the United
States While there are reasons for military
secrecy it would seem that the Red Army had been
entirely too unwilling to share with the other Ales
certain truths as to fighting strength and ability
Several attempts have been made by both TINS
country and England to share military information
with Russia The United States of course, has shipped
to the Russian Government millions of dollars worth
of our most advanced battle weapons and planes,
under lend-ease agreements. But if competent MILL
ary observers accurate in their declarations, MI

Since all three of the great powers fighting the
Germans are in the war shoulder shoulder it would
be to the common good if the best military ideas
could be pooled in the common cause BY the very
fact that we are furnishing weapons and planes we
are giving the Russians information as to equipment
We have expressed willingness to share information
as to the fighting strength of various units, as
has Great Britain Russia, however, has been slow
to extend her full cooperation in any such program
complete interchange of military information

CONGRESSIONAL NEPOTISM

Several months ago this column
revealed that Bill Chenoweth had
been on the payroll of his father,
Representative j. Edgar Cheno-
Weth of Colorado, for almost two
years while attending college in
Colorado and Washington.
Today young Chenoweth is no
longer being paid for not working
in his fathers office. However,
Chenoweth, Senior, didn't drop a
stitch in his nepotism knitting.
Hardly had his son left the payroll
when a daughter, Wanda, was in
serted in the job at $1,000 a year,
a $500 raise.
Congressman Chenoweth's case is
only one out OF many of Capitol
Hill. Here's the roll-call on other
House members who have relatives
billeted on the taxpayers:
Representative Paul Stewart of
Oklahoma step daughter, Mary
Ellen Smith, gets $4,000 a year,
practically half of his yearly clerk
hire allowance.
Representative Albert E. Carter
OF California-His wife, Mary Lee
Carter, is paid $4,000 year for
working in his office occasionally
Representative Harry Dworshak
of Idaho = Mrs. Dworshak is a
S1,20O-a-year assistant.
Representative John s. Gibson Of
Georgia-Mrs. Gibson, listed on his
payroll as Jimmie" Gibson, is paid
5000 a year by the taxpayers.

SOLDIERS OVERSEAS VOTE

~
Administration leaders used every
parliamentary trick in the book to
defeat the Bridges amendment to
the soldiers vote bifl-an amend
ment which gives the Democratic
and Republican National Commit
tees a voice in the selection OF the
Ballot Commissioners. Admins
trationites argued that the amend
ment was reflection on the
President
The day before the amendment
was adopted by the Senate, its au-
thor, Republican Senator Bridges
of New Hampshire, tried to railroad
vote when there were only eight
Democrats on the floor Senator
Scott Lucas of Illinois, co-author
of the vote BILL suggested the abb
sence of a quorum. However, the
quorum call failed to bring more
than fourteen Democrats to the
Senate floor So Lucas played his
next card
He demanded individual yeas
and nays on the vote. This would
give Democratic colleagues who
were attending committee meetings
time to declare themselves. Sem
ate Republicans, who oitnumbered
Democrats to l, opposed the mo-
ton, but the presiding officer

industry. They belong on the list
of progressive measures that will

are likely to be widely used by
American families. Signs which in

SUNDAY. DECEMBER IL

SUNDAY, DEOEMDEN -
Good and evil planetary influ-
ences rule today The configura-
ton is fortunate for the clergy.
HEART AND HOME: Women
are under promising sway that
should assure them much happi-
ness and preparations for Christ
mas should take on special sig
nificance Interest in religion will
be accented by many stories OF
strange experiences in battles,
BUSHES AFFAIRS: Fuel
shortages win cause discomfort in
many parts of the country, al
though this Winter is to be milder
than that of 1942-43. Coal and oil
dealers are to meet emergencies
with resourcefulness. owners of
large mansions will move to hotels
and apartment houses.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Discussion
of punishment of Axis leaders after
they have been defeated should be
restricted, it is declared by occult
lists, because it arorses hysterical
demands for revenge and adds to
the resentment felt by the civilized
world. When victory is achieved
justice must be dispensed calmly
and wisely The stars presage
tragedies that do not hinge on
United Nations triumphs. Insanity
and disease, suicide and assassina-
tions will precede certain court
trials and courts-martial
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S !:
China is to focus ettention as the
United Nations strengthen their
forces in the Pacific war There is
an evil omen read as presaging in
ternal political conditions that are
likely to hamper Generalissimo

gained in bitter conflict long drawn
