Ever since the tournament COM
mittee, aided by the shop commit
teemen, began passing out the en-
try blanks early in the week at the
Willys-Overland, it was apparent
that this was going to be one Of
the biggest tournaments of its
kind ever put on in Toledo, and
Anthony (Bud) Pacholski, who is
chairman of the event, says, "Boy,
this is really something. never
imagined we would be so successful
in getting so many of our people
out to BOWL"
Pacholski said, "We have a prize
list that should prove to be an
attraction for the bowlers, since
it guarantees $50 for the first
Ents for high man and $25 for
abe women bowler.
s;nc, Prizes on List
,r.s far down the line the tour
nahent will pay is dependent upon
the number of bowlers, but accord
ing to committee members, this
should be well down the line, since
there are such large number of
bowlers already entered.
Bowling will take place in the
three-day tournament at the fol-
lowing times:
Friday, April 1880 p. m. to
100 a. m.

NAVAL BATTLE:
COnuOy Scattered

Happening upon a Jap convoy
northwest of the Aleutian islands,
daring American naval task
force closed in for an attack even
as strong Japanese units bore
down off its flank.
After breaking up the convoy
which included three transports
headed for Attu and Kiska, the
American force, led by Read Adm.
C. H. McMorris, then wheeled to-
ward home, and with three destroy
ers running interference, maneu-
vered clear of the enemy fleet.
|. Racing in close to hold off the
Jap fleet with torpedo fire, the de-
stroyers threw up smoke screens
to cover their withdrawal after the
attacks. Checked by the fire, the
enemy stood by while the Ameri-
cans slipped through.
Despite the intense barrage Of
the heavy Jap cruisers and de-
stroyers which fell within the
proximity of the American ships,
the U. S. units emerged with no
material losses.

TUNISIA:
Yanks Are Coming

Yielding to strong pressure from
the Second American army Of
Lieut.. Gen. George s. Patton, Axis
troops fell back to their last
stronghold in northern Tunsia,
there to await the final assault Of
the Allied forces Even as they
were being regrouped for the dcci-
sve battle, American units pressed
forward against their fortified po-
sitions in the mountains.
The Axis took up their new posi-
tions along the last perimeter OF
defenses ringing the great naval
base Of Bizerte, after Yankee in
fantry had cleaned them out of the
strategic Hill country to the west.
Advancing under the cover of
heavy artillery, American troops
braved scathing machine gua and
mortar fire TO crawl up the scrag-
gly slopes and ferret the enemy
from their entrenchments. Then
they swept into Mateur, strategic
rail and road junction IS miles
south Of Bizerte.
IN the central sector, the Axis
maintained their massed arrnored
columns TO stand off the British
First army along the level ap-
proaches 10 the gateway Of Tunis.

According to Allied spokesmen,
Japanese submarine activity in the

In both cases, Allied naval lead

PAY AS YOU Cos
1871 FOrgiUen

As the shadows heightened on
Capitol Hill, 313 congressman end
ed a hectic day Of debate by pass
ing the Robertson-Forand pay-as-
you go measure, forgiving rs per
cent Of the 1912 income taxes and
putting all taxpayers on a current
basis.
After rejecting the Ruml plan as
embodied in the Carlson bill, which
would have forgiven all taxes, and
voting to recommit the house ways
and means committee measure,
which would have applied 194l
rates to 1912 incomes, the con
gressmen acted on the Robertson
Forand proposal.
Under the Robertson Forand bill,
which went to the senate following
house action, all taxpayers would
be exempted from paying the 6
per cent normal and first surtax Of
13 per cent on their 1912 incomes.
Those with taxable income over
the 13 per cent surtaN, however,
would have 10 pay balance of the
1912 tax. In that case, their first
two payments this year would be
applied against their remaining
liability and if they still had a
balance outstanding, they could
clean it up in two later payments.
As to 1943 taxes, the Robertson
Forand bill provides for a 20 per
cent Withholding tax against wages
and salaries after exemptions have
been estimated. Of this amount, 3
per cent would be taken out for the
Victory tax, the tax being reduced
from 5 per cent.

the war sounded more plausible aft
er hostilities began, but finally,
we were told that if we could find
any place where clocks could be
obtained the company would pur-
chase them. This was accomplished
by the committee and the news
conveyed back to the company. In
stead of making good on the
promise, the one who had made US
the promise blew his top, as he
usually does, and handed out more
lame excuses.
Finally, it was rumored around
the shop that the clocks had been
ordered and everybody awaited in
anticipation because by that time
there were more cards than there
were slots IN the time racks. But
no dice. Again the company that
sells the clocks was contacted by
the committee and informed that
clocks could be obtained on short
notice, but up to now-no soap.
Obviously, the company either does
not give a damn or else is delib-
erately trying to irritate its en-
ployes. What do you think?
