One of my corrugated readers asks this question

anything"
There's question that is worth its weight in
answers agree with the possibilities of the nterroga

around the world to do it.
Delving into the problem little further PROFOUND

proof for 80 days without food water Ask them
how many senator's are in the bet each of
them would bob up with different answer"
like the rebuttal of of the hemispherical soons,

that all of the quibbling quintet sincere

the alley.
The five senators did not take parachute jumps, they
did not cataput from torpedo tubes did they drift

What they did do was to follow in the wake of our
victorious armies They pioneers of the second

l. rebuke of the treasury and
the administration in the new
tax bill is not difficult to ex-
plain.
Cost of government, esti-
mated in the budget for this
fiscal year. was S106, ZOO. 100000,
but expenditures have been run
ming so far only at a rate of
$90,000,000,000. The treasury
has revised its own estimate of
tax receipts up to S45, 100000
600.
So the administration goal of
raising half of the war costs
through taxation already is be-
:, without this
additional s2.i4D,oO0.OO0 bill.
Obviously, there is no need for,
the $10,5O0,O0O,000 tax increase
which Mr.. Morgenthau and his
experts demanded of Congress.
For this reason, the bill will
go Swimming through the Sem
ate as well as the House. The
President no doubt will sign it,
as a veto would be useless.

Motorists Warned
OF Repeated Trips
To PimIico Track
OPA Investigators Check
Auto Tags for VioIotion
Of Supplemental Rotions
BY the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, April 21.-Motorists
who drive to the Pimlico race track
were on notice today that Office OF
Price Administration investigators
were checking to ascertain whether
supplementary gasoline rations were
being used in violation of regula-
tions.
State OPA Attorney Reuben Op-
penheimer said yesterday that in
vestigators were looking for ere
peaters" at the track who, he de-
clared, couldn't get there day after
day with their A rations and who
are using gasoline allotted to them
for occupational driving to visit a
pleasure resort.
1--WE don't argue with motorist
who uses his A ration to drive to
the race track, and we have no op-
position to racegoing as SUCH" he
continued.
Our concern is with motorists
who have supplemental rations who
can't visit racetrack each day on
the gallon-and-a-half permitted
them each week by an A book.
If it appears that they are using
precious gasoline given them fol
occupational use and forbidden fol
pleasure driving, then they will be
called into this Office for an ex-
PLANTATION.
Investigators said they also were
checking licenses of repeaters among
A book holders to determine whether
the motorists were receiving gasoline
| illegally.
