report has been made about
thievery or any other related
crime. -

been connected with the crime.
The best description of the
criminal was given by Special
Policeman DeArmas, and at least
one of the suspects bore a re-
semblance to the thief, except
that the suspect is considerably
taller.

FIRE DESTROYS
SMALL BUILDING

A small frame building in the
rear of the old Richard Peacon
home, 712 Eaton street, was prac-
tically destroyed by fire late yes
terday afternoon. The structure
was used as a pump house.
The alarm was sounded at
$40 o'clock from Box 121, cor
ner of Eaton and Elizabeth
streets.
The apparatus from No. l Fire
Station responded, and at first
used the booster hose, which
was not able to quench the blaze,
mad the larger water hose was
soon brought into play, which
had almost immediate effect, with
the fire being quickly extinguish-
ed.

Clearing the Track

It has remained for Joseph B. Eastman, Director of Office of Defense Transpor- tation for the government, to recognize officially the fact that lot of our man. power shortage is the result of rules and regulations that were often devised for the specific purpose of making two jobs where one was sufficient.
 Unless vigorous remedies are under taken at once, the country is headed for a crisis in railroad manpower, says MT. Eastman. In 13-point program to fore stall such crisis, he recommends as an important essential the suspension for the duration in certain circumstances of full crew laws and engine mileage limi- tations.
 MT. Eastman recognizes that the rail- roads have gone the limit in expanding service under many restrictions, and that the time has come to remove any artifi- cial barriers which block the fullest use of available manpower and equipment in this critical period.
 This should be haled by both labor and management as an opportunity to once more demonstrate that Americas rail transportation system and its workers can and will conquer problems as they arise. AS war emergency, it is to be hoped the suggestion of MT. Eastman will be considered in this light. .....

Sales Taxes

An additional $1 ,4S0, 100000 would be realized by the tentative program out lined by the House Ways and Means Committee. A general Sales Tax is fav- ored by many, but is not likely to have a general sanction. The present list of lux lirieS to be taxed would include liquids, furs, jewelry, and also included is raise of one cent in local postage. The Con- mittee is not prepared to extend sales tax any farther.
 Chewing gum, candy and other articles will not be taxed; that seems certain. However, those articles that come in the luxury class and are bought by those who can afford such things, should, since taxes are necessary, be taxable. But take candy, gum and the like, most people feel shat these are trivial articles and within ssae price of all, so why tax them? And shy make it harder for those who can Duy them to impose the additional tax?
 Three cents seems quite a bit for local mailing. But that is because we have become accustomed to the two cent in town mailing, but gradually we became three cents seemed prohibitive for out-of- town mailing, but gradually we bacame used to the added penny. When and If these sales taxes go through it will be matter of routine and we are assured sat within certain number of months following the close of the war, we will return to the former sales status.

Shipping Men Plan

Sixty-one American-flag steamship companies, organized in the American Merchant Marine Institute, have promul- gated postwar program that is creat- ing much interest in shipping circles. Comment is both favorable and unfavor- able, but certainly the program offers a good basis for intelligent discussion. The Institute proposes ultimate transfer of all government-owned merchant ships to private ownership. This will create some controversy, although in nation devoted tc the thesis of private enterprise 1t would seem to be very reasonable suggestion. It Is suggested that service be restored on established sea routes promptly and pro- gressively, in order to lose no ground; that new routes opened up by war de- vessels be placed on former trade routes ot the Axis powers; that our coastwise and intercoastal fleet be modernized and expanded and that we branch out in indirect and tramp" shipping.
 Such steps inevitably would strengthen the position of American lines in for eign trade by enabling us to carry a greatly increased share of our foreign commerce. They would give employment opportunities for our now large seagoing personnel. They should be taken in col iaboration with our maritime allies. This leaves one other major recommendation which, whether or not it should be &C., cepted intact, concerns matter of vital national policy. The Institute suggests that at least five million tons of shipping be reserved as a pool for national defense purposes. These craft, it is suggested, should be laid up and "sterilized" - that is, they should not be used in com petition with private operators -- per hapS in the Great Lakes, where they would not deteriorate as in salt water.
 This might be way to salvage some of our investment in Liberty ships after they have been replaced with more eff cient craft. In considering the program as whole, and each of its elements, one thing should be kept always in mind: If we had possessed a larger merchant marine at the end of 1941-even to the extent of such a reserve pool as this - we might not be so far from Berlin as we now are, and we certainly would not be so far from Tokyo. We can't afford to be caught again as we were in 1917 and again in 1941.

All in the Viewpoint

The Allies have been handicapped from the beginning and still are, by the fact that they approach war with certain humanitarian reservations. They decline to be the first to act like savages. They refuse, eften, even to prepare to repay saVagery with savagery when, in the long run, such tactics would make for earlier peace.
 Thus the British declined a rocket glider bomb in 1888, a year before the Invasion of Poland, because it's use would have involved indiscriminate destruction. The Germans had no such compunctions. They are using such weapon. But we do not even have 1t ready nov.
 fl we lost the war, we might wonder whether such decency was worth while. Winning t. we can De proud of our hu- Manenegs

Clean Own House Firse

The most popular political pastime to- day is planning new postwar world. But before the United States can take any great part in such a world, it will have to set Its own house in order.
 Large, continuing production is the only basis for financing our government and maintaining adequate living stand ards and feeling of personal security. In the United States, under private en- terprise system, living standards reached a world peak and provided real independ- ence and security for greater popula- tion than in other countries.
 So, while planning the postwar world, our planners might as well get down to earth and consider practical plans for encouraging expansion of private enter prise at home. Only policy of moderate taxation after the war will encourage ir- dividual initiative. Exorbitant taxes add to the price of goods, depreSs employment and deter investment and risk taking.
 Moderate business taxes" says Harley L. Lutz, professor Of public finance, Princeton University, in The Tax Review, "that would release the full driving power of production at adequate wages and profits, mean that as soon as the war is over the excess profits tax and the sur tax should be repealed, the normal rate should be reduced to some point within the range applied from 1918 to 1882. In no case should the rate exceed 20 per cent"
