By the Way
BETH BLAINE

There is exactly one USO club
in Washington that is designed
and run especially for service
women-and we wondered how
these girls in uniform liked it and
just what they liked best about it.
So we asked 1t. Virginia Morley
Of the WACS, who serves as liai-
son officer between the USO and
the WACS.
And she summed it up pretty
briefly. First of all, the girls like
it because they are made to feel
so welcome. Secondly, they like
the fact that only servicemen
and serviceWomen use the club.
Both, reasons are very under
standable. Every one likes the
feeling of being welcome and
every one likes being a part of a
group of people with the same
interests-who can talk shop, so
to speak. Added to these two
reasons are all the appealing
facilities of the club-appealing
especially to the ladies. There
are pressing rooms and sewing
rooms and wonderful kitchen
where the gals can cook their
own. There's a comfortable
lounge, pianos, books, games and
a powder room that any woman
would adore having in her own
home.
Being a very musical person,
1t. Morley finds the parties with
singing and music almost the
most fun. Before she enlisted in
the WACS, this talented young
woman toured the country as a
member Of the Ina Ray Hutton
Band. Drums are her speciality,
but she plays II other instru-
mentS - trumpet, mellaphone,
guitar, clarinet, vibraphone, etc.
She got her musical training at
the Cosmopolitan Conservatory
Of Music and the Lincoln Con-
selvatory of Music in Chicago
her home town. She met her
husband when he was on tour
with another band. Yes, he's lust
as talented as his wife, and PLAYS
a lot Of those same instruments,
as well as having an excellent
singing voice. The first time he
saw his wife she was doing her
stuff with the Hutton band and
Mr.. Morley watched her from the
wings. She turned to smile at
some one behind him and he
thought she was smiling at him,
asked to meet her and the ro-
nance began. Both Morleys gave
up tiiNiA W serve
their country in the war. Mr..
Morley learned a new profession
-shipbuilding, and Virginia be-
came a WAC.
Shes terribly proud of being
one, too. We told her some of the
wonderful reports We had heard
of the splendid work WACS are
doing overseas - how respected
and efficient and valuable they
have become to our Army. She
had heard good bit about it,
too, she said, and one of the
things she liked best was Mrs.
Roosevelt's report of the Presi-
dents comment after a group of
WACS had been torpedoed-
They behaved superbly and were
as military as any other soldier"

today signed the payas-you-
go income tax bill providing
for 20 per cent withholding
tax to start July l and forgiving
from rs to 100 per cent of years
tax liability for all persons.
The bill is a compromise worked
out by congress after nearly five
months of heated wrangling over
various forgiveness proposals, in
cluding the highly controversial
Ruml plan which was thrice re-
jected by the house by very narrow
margins.
The new law applies its forgive
ness features to liability for either
1912 or 1943, whichever is smaller,
in order to avoid undue benefits to
persons whose income has decreased
sharply. 1t also contains various
other anti-Windfall provisions.

Benito Near End
Of Rope Says Hull

WASHINGTON, June 10
(UP)-Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull said today that Ital-
ian Dictator BenitO MussOlini
is rapidly approaching the time
ly end which he deserves.
Hull was referring to pros
poets that Italy soon may be
driven out of the war and into
collapse, rather than to Mus
sOlini's personal health-which
has been reported as bad.
His remarks were made at a
press conference in response to
requests for comment on the
third anniversary of Italy's en-
trance into the war.
Hull said that MussOlini had
been false to all his people and
false to every law and rule to
organized society, while on the
other hand being as loyal as
his nature permits to Hitler and
Hitlerism, and to all the infa-
mics which that comprises.
