County TO Start
Close Gas Check

A new system TO create greater
gasoline saving by drivers. of
county cars, effective Aug. /, was
announced today by John d. Hays,
mileage administrator.
Under the new system, drivers
most OF whom use their own cars
and are given allowances for gaso-
line used, must keep day-to-day
tab on their gas, and at the end
of each month make report to
the county, accompanied by an af-
fidavlt. In addition 10 this, speed
ometerS OF all cars will be in

request from the OPA, which

that some drivers were charging
the county for gas which had not
been used on county business.

Appeal Court Upho|ds Mrs. Charles Bradley
Conviction for Bigamy Dies Suddenly Here
War Department Man
Sentenced to Prison

In its first ruling on a case in
volving the Districts bigamy statute
the Court of Appeals today affirmed
the District Court conviction of An
dreas R. Alexander, 80. War Depart
ment craftsman. who had been SEN
fenced to serve from eight months to
two years on bigamy charge.
The opinion of the higher court
written by Chief Justice D. Lawrence
Groner. held that the defendant did
not make bona flde effort to ascer-
tain if it were true his wife to whom
he was married in 1896 in Washing
ton State had obtained a divorce
after Alexander allegedly received
information by letter to that effect
His second marriage was to Dis
trict woman in l941 Regarding the
first marriage and information
which the defendant is said to have
claimed he received regarding di-
vorce action by the first wife, the
Court OF Appeals opinion said:
His testimony gees no further
than the statement that he received
information of the divorce in let
ter which he neither retained nor
answered. With every opportunity
at hand to ascertain the truth, he
made no effort to 90 So
The opinion he'd the District
Court did not err in failing to in
struct the jury as follows:
If the defendant believed at the
time of the District of Columbia
marriage that his wife had secured a
divorce from him, then he must be
acquitted"
The case was prosecuted in Dis
trict Court by Assistant United
States Attorney Cecil r. Hef1in.

Income Tax Increase
OF 50q6 for Some
Groups Is Foreseen
Treasury May Suggest
Boost to Meet Pieu
For Additional Revenues
By the Associated Press.

By he Associated Press.
Stiff increases in individual in
come taxes, ranging as high as so
per cent in some brackets, NAV be
suggested by the Treasury when
Congress starts considering Presi-
dent Roosevelt's demand for $l6,-
900 100000 additional revenues.
The President now has before him
a pay-as-yeu-go tax measure which
many legislators believed would head
off any attempts to increase rates
on individuals for at least two years.
but Informed sources said recent
inquiries disclosed Treasury officials
entertain no such view.
These officials were reported to
be insisting on attempts to raise in
direct taxes the additional amount
the President has requested
so Per Cent Boost Suggested.
One of half dozen schemes be-
ing studied by the experts report
edly would call for rate increases
ranging from so per cent in the
lower income groups to Is per cent
IN higher brackets, where levies ap-
proach the 80 per cent limitation
under present law.
There has been talk also of COM
blnlne sales tax with a levy on
spending, although few members of
Congress believe the Treasury will
give any strong support to sales
tax. However, Senator Vandenbere
Republican, of Michigan said he
thought sales tax is the only an
SWer to any demand for substan-
tlal increase in revenues.
There are indications, moreover.
that all of these proposals will have
TO await return of Congress in Sep
tember from a proposed summer re-
cess and Chairman George of the
Senate Finance Committee told re-
porterS that no rate increases are
likely to affect l943 incomes of either
individuals or corporations.
Delay Is Expected.
Senator George and Chairman
Dou2hton of the House Ways and
Means Committee have agreed that
retroactive taxes on individuals must
become thing of the past because
CT the prospect that the Treasury
soon will be collecting currently
from sucn persons as they receive
their incomes.
Senator George said that even If
Congress begins consideration OF a
new tax bill in September it prob
ably cannot be passed until Deem
ber. Under those circumstances. he
said it probably would be impossible
to make corporation taxes retroac-
tive. even if Congress desired to
do so.

Fantastic Production
Causes Changes in
Projects, BAIT Says
Necessity Of FIexibiIity
To Meet Altered Needs
Is Factor in Shutdowns
BY the Associated Press.

oS tNt ASSOCldleu fTeSS.
William l.. Bait, vice chairman OF
| the War Production Board, yester-
! day charged abandonment of some
war projects jOintly to the fantastic
volume records hung up by Ameri-
can builders of fighting tools and the
necessity of flexibility to meet over
night revolutions in global war
needs.
Mr.. Bait said in a Blue Network
broadcast that in some cases mot
| only did we gear our war machine to
pitch much higher than Hitler
feared-we did better than even we
thought we could"
"A need that existed six months
ago may be out of the window now
he observed.
Asked about big tank plant shut
down. when its tank contracts were
Cancelled, MI. Bait said:
In the first place, it's located in
a pretty tight labor market. The
workers had little trouble finding
new jobs. In fact nearby employees
put in bids for them before they
were released.
In the second place, the type Of
tank they were building was no
longer needed in quantity by the
armed forces. And this plant was
not rated as one of the most efficient
tank producers. Then, too. and this
is an important factor, some Of its
tools and welding equipment were
needed in speeding up production OF
more urgent war material
MI Bait said WPB engineer
already was surveying the plant and
remaining equipment with view
to putting it to work on other war
production. He also took note of an
explosives plant projected to cost
100000 900 andrbe one of the biggest
in the country, but dropped when
one of three proposed units was
completed.
It's simply that we builded bet
ter than we knew" Mr. Bait as
serted In other words. our great
war plant today is producing at a
rate much faster than even the
| foremost engineers dreamed possible
year ago. But we might need
it ,the explosive plant on very
/ short notice. That plant is Just one
form of war insurance-or, make it
