Bethlehem Stoppage Ends
AT One Of Two Furnaces
BY the Associated Press

STEELTON. Pa, June 12.-One
of two idle blast furnaces at the
Bethlehem Steel Co. plant was put
back into production last night
after a 24-hour shutdown which a
company official said was due to
strike action" and an official of

at II pm. to operate two of the
three furnaces at the plant.
Earlier Mr. Robbins said in a
statement that the walkout fol-
lowed a demand for an immediate
wage increase in the blast furnace
department., and. added the stop
page has every appearance of a
shrewdly- planned attempt by the
union to paralyze operations of
the plant.
George Medrick, district II di-
rector of the union, said the men
found the furnaces shut down by
the company when they reported
for work Thursday night.

Japanese Beetle Scourqe
Is Expected This Week

by the Associated Press.
The annual attack of the Jap
anese beetles, scourge of foliage,
fruit and vegetables in the Middle
Atlantic States, is scheduled to
begin soon. DR.. Ernest N. Cory
Maryland State entomologist, re-
ported yesterday.
/ About 25 per cent of the grubs
from which the beetles develop are
now in the pupal stage, DR.. Cory
said, and the first of the pests are
expected to come up from the
ground about Tuesday.
He predicted the beetle attack
would be about normal" in strength
this year and that the height of
their depredations would occur
during the first half of July.
To combat the insects, a State
quota of 10000 pounds of milky
white disease tale has been estab-
lished, although the entomologist
said that because of a labor short
age this amount might not be
reached.

THE -EVER-PRESENT JEEP

The ieep, which can be compared with nothing in the auto
motive line that has gone before it, is now even more a world
institution than the late lamented Model T was 20 years
ago. So far as distribution is concerned, it even beats the
marines, from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoi'
A few weeks ago it served at Casablanca to convey the lead
Iers of the two great English-speaking nations. 1t hauls every
body - from presidents to privates.
1t is at home anywhere. Its high-centered body makes 1t
|navigable in Montana s~nowdrifts, but without enclosure, its
occupants humorously refer to it as a pneumonia wagon
when 3O-below weather hits. 1t is just as effective in the sands
of Morocco or the muck of a New Guinea jungle. If it does
get stuck, everybody craps a hand-hold and lifts it right out.
The jeep has a jauntiness in name and appearance that makes
it typically American. If you want to be a little more serious
about it, you can say it symboizes the altered spirit of America;
it's not built for comfort but to get there - and back.
The jeep, we think, will stay in the picture after the war. We
saw a Glasgow sportsman eye one the other day, and say, Boy,
how l could use that hunting ducks" With its four wheel drive
the jeep would be an al[purpose vehicle on the farm. 1t has
more dash than any of the jallopies we used to see the younger.
generation drive along our streets (most of that generation is
now riding or driving jeeps all over the world)
There's nothing quite like the jeep. We wonder who the
unknown genius was who named it. He couldn't have picked
a better one. Hail to the jeep!

THEY'LL KEEP ON FIGHTING

We suppose we're like most people when it comes to argu-
ments; we like to stay out of EN-. But we took issue a few
DAYS ago with a good friend when he said, oh, yes, the British
are strong for us now, but after we've licked the Nazis watch
them pull out and leave us to fight the Japs alone"
We think that conclusion is based on a false premise. But
first of all, we would like to say that, if we had our choice we
would pick no other Allies than the British. Going back to that
argument, however, we are perfectly willing to admit that every
United Nation is fighting this war in its own interests, and that
includes America. 1t is only common sense that those interests
The British have a far greater stake in the Far East and the
Pacific than we have. Hawaii is and always be a great bastion
of our navy and army. So, no doubt, will be Philippines. But
they are small potatoes when we compare them with the vast
riches and territory of the British commonwealth - India, the
Malay states, Australia, New Zealand. The Dutch, the French,
the Russians all have lost or are threatened by the Jap ad-
vances in the Pacific. Neither Britain nor we can ever rest
secure so long as Japan occupies and controls Singapore, the
great Chinese ports, Manila, the Indies, New Guinea and the
myriad islands of the Japanese mandate. We know there can
never be a lasting peace in the world while the imperiaIstic
and totalitarian nations hold these vital bases.
So, if we wish to be cynical, even if we want to say there is
no honor among the United Nations, still we must admit that
the Pacific is just as important, perhaps more important, to
Great Britain. Because of the ~treacherous attack on us at Pearl
Harbor and Manila, we are apt to think that we are the special
enemies of the Japs. But there is hardly another United Nation
that has not suffered from the inroads of the little yellow men
in Greater Asia" /
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1943-02-11
A PRACTICAL TAX PLAN

The pay-as-you-go tax plan has the endorsement of just about
everybody except a few treasury tax experts" who appear
sadly out of touch with the realities of life in this country and
the vagaries of human nature.
The treasury experts say if we adopt pay-as-you-go, the
government will lose one years taxes, but they can't prove
that statement. Beardsley Ruml, author of the plan, marshalled
New York City's eight leading accountant firms and all agreed
that the government won't lose a years taxes.
True, the plan provides that the 1912 taxes will be cancelled
But, instead, the treasury would collect the 1943 tax currently.
1t would get just as much money this year, probably more, than
will if it collects all 1912 taxes on March Is.
Actually, the treasury officials are exhibiting selfshness and
stubbornness. Apparently, what they wish to do is to collect
both last years and this years taxes this year. They would
carry a heavy burden.
Harry Brooks of the Great Falls Tribune makes a good
analogy when he says, "We moved the clock ahead an hour
and called it daylight saving. Actually we have just the same
amount of daylight each day, whether noon comes at II or II
o'clock" II l. Just the same with the new tax plan.

quested a lawyer. Judge Hurry ap-
pointed c. H. Roberts to represent

nation against him was filed in
