IN WASHINGTON .

agencies confidently expect that
tankers will become increasing
ly available. There are ample
facilities and ample supply for
our industrial alcohol needs.
The only trouble is that the
longer we continue TO use wheat
TO distil alcohol, the less bread
we shall have, and the less feed
for meat-producing animals.
Low PRICE
The government may have
some justification for the low
price it is offering Cuba and
Puerto Rico for molasses, since
blackstrap normally sells for
around a nickel gallon in
peacetime. But there is justifica-
ton for paying considerably
more, even when the shipping
cost (2.48 cents a gallon from
Puerto Rico, somewhat less than
Cuba is considered.
On a purely dollars-and-cents
basis of what it costs TO distil
alcohol from wheat, the govern
ment could pay as much as 35
cents gallon for molasses.
More important is the fact that
every four bushels Of wheat
saved will provide one person
with foodstuffs for a whole year,
or will provide enough feed TO
produce 35 pounds of pork
Next year we shall need
nearly a half billion gallons Of
industrial alcohol So il will be
imported from Canada, Mexico
and possibly Australia. Some
Will be made from sugar.
But more than four-fifths must
come from diStillation of wheat
and molasses.
There will be. according to
government research, enough
West Indian molasses available
by June 80, 1914, TO make l90,-
000,0 900 gallons of that quota. II

TAX SIMPllFiCATIOk

Ever since the toxpoylng public began working
on Form lO4O-ES, the OR hos been blue with bitter
protests obout what the Treasury befudded Congress
into doing TO the simple poyosyou-eorn tax pIon with
which il storted
The determinations ore increasing now, because
with the income tox estimates out Of the way hove
time TO think UP words with which TO express opin-
ion Of the situation Mingled with diotribes now and
then, is the beginning Of constructive suggestion os
TO whot con be done about the evil.
In The Tox Review publication Of the Tax Foun-
doton Prof Harley l. Lutz OF Princeton offers some
ideos which oppeor sound ond simple. He bolls them
down into three specific proposals:
CD Absorb the Victory T OK into the Withholding
" Let the Withholding rote become the normal
i(ond Victory tox
- Eliminate the requirement thot the overoge
wage or soory Garner file yeorend return
Thus briefly stoted, we do NOT believe thot Profess
sor Lutz's proposals ore entirely adequate But they
do form the boss for workable revision of the pres
ent system.
Whot they seem TO mean in effect, is this:
Virtually everybody now pays O Victory Tax on
one base, O "norn1o' income tox on O second bose
and first brocket "surtox" on third bose Thot is,
oil three Of these now hove become "norrnoI" toxes
but each hos TO be computed on different net IN
come with differing credits exemptions and deduc-
tons.
specifically dsreoording the complication Of the
three bosses these "normoI" toxes aggregate "a per
cent Of net incomes per cent for Victory Tox, 6
per cent normal" per cent first bracket "surtox."
All right Let's drop the pretenses and the conopI-
cotons Let's soy fronkIy that the normal" income
tox otter bosic exemptions ond credits is "a per
cent--which II is-ond lets withhold thot "a per
cent just os, now, we withhold 20 per cent.
Let's toke on oVeroge stuoton-just as we do
on the short form return in use-ond soy thot
this Withholding covers oil tox due from persons
whose income not more than on orount TO be conn.,
puted-iust os now soy thot persons who eorned
so much need not file lO4O-ES. Persons thus pod in
full need file no return Of any sort

A disappointed Cuban delega-
tion packed up their buds the
other day and headed for home.
They had come 10 Washington
10 try 10 sell the government
some 180,000,00O gallons of mo-
lasses for industrial alcohol. But
no agreement was reached. The
head OF the delegation an
nounced that conferences with
the Defense Supplies Corp. and
other agencies had been discon-
tinued because lit was not posi-
BILE for the Cuban commission
t0 accept the basis submitted by
the United States commission
for the purchase of such mo-
lasSes.
That was a polite and diplo-
matte way of saying that Cuba
would not sell molasses for 5ss
cents gallon, when the United
States government had paid l3
cents a gallon last year. Cuba $
offer was little better than the
5 cents gallon offered to
Puerto Rican producers But it
was a long way from the OPA
ceiling price of l8 cents on do
mestically produced molasses.
So an important and promis-
ing conference broke up. And
the deadlock is unfortunate for
two reasons, at least. One is that
the less molasseS we use to make
industrial alcohol, the more we
must tap our dangerously dwin-
ding wheat reserve. The other is
that the shipping shortage. long
the principal bottleneck, is
greatly improved. and the sub
marine danger, at least for the
present, is baniShed from the
Caribbean.
The shipping bottleneck isn't
beaten yet, but government

all this could be used, IL would
save enough wheat 10 give bread
TO 10000, 900 people for the en-
tire year. Canada has a wheat
surplus, but its transportation
conflicts with the movement OF
ore from the Great Lakes region.
ACTION NEEDED
II is possible, too, that good
deal of industrial alcohol could
be made in both Cuba and
Puerto Rico, in plants now used
to distil liquor. The resultant
product would not be the re-
CURED 100 proof. but il could be
redistilled here. The point is that
something should be done, and
quickly. about this supply OF
molasses.
A couple of months ago the
Office of Economic Warfare
made a survey OF the industrial
alcohol situation which stated
that the immediate necessity
of conserving wheat now being
used for industrial alcohol called
for prompt and decisive &C
ton"
But this prompt and decisive
action is hung up currently by
price haggling
1t takes so per cent more mo-
laSseS than wheat, by weight. 10
make a gallon Of alcohol But
factories can make alcohol from
molasses at 80 per cent greater
speed The government is pay
ing from $50 to Sl.65 bushel
for wheat which may, within the
year, become vitality necessary
for food.
Somehow the difference be
tween SIS cents offered for mo-
lasses and IL cents asked, doesn't
seem big enough to have sty-
mied the Cuban American con-
ference just concluded.

The title OF this dispatch
should be The Moth Ball Girl, %
or They've Got Me Buried"
It's a typical Hollywood story
about a beautiful young lady
who made sensational hit in
her first picture and then was
completely forgotten.
All her friends, she says,
started calling her The Moth
Ball Girl.
Her name is Lenore ALBERT,
and she was an actress in her ma
tive Vienna before the war. Her
boss, Samuel Goldwyn. who is
still paying her nice salary ev-
cry week, says she's the most
beautiful girl in Hollywood since
Wilma Banky.
The movie in which Lenore
made hit was Bob Hopes COM
edy, @They.ve Got Me Covered. -
She played spy and some peo-
pie, including your reporter and
GoldWyn, thought she was the
best thing in the picture.
In fact, after the preview, Sam
called her to his office and said,
Young lady, | believe in you,
I'm going TO give you a terrific
buIldup We're giving you a nice
new contract You're going to
be a big star"
FORCED VACATION
Lenore was very happy. That
was year ago. Since then, until
few days ago, she hadn't even
seen movie camera. Or even a
still camera. Or her name or pic
ture in the newspapers.
Il went TO the studio every
day Lenore said, and took
dramatic lessons. They contin-
ued TO renew my contract. They
even raised my salary They
gaIeEme a lot Of publicity for
few weeks and then nothing
happened
Nothing else happened In fact,
for year. Other studios, she
says, asked Goldwyn to borrow
her for their pictures. Goldwyn

turned them all down. Lenore
says she went TO GoldWyn and
said, Please, Mr.. Goldwyn, I'm
getting tired of doing nothing"
She said Goldwyn replied,
Don't worry. | believe in you
Even if GoldWyn did believe
i'm her, Lenore and her agents
tried 10 talk him into firing her
so she could accept the other
roles. GoldWyn refused,
Finally, after a year, Goldwyn
put her to work. But not in one
Of his pictures. He loaned her to
RKO for the feminine lead in a
film titled, Dangerous Jour
ney II isn't pretentious
movie But Lenore is happy She
is acting again.
ROUNDABOUT ROUT
How Lenore Aubert crashed
Hollywood in the first place is
quite story.
AS Hitler rose 10 power she
fled her native Vienna TO France
and then to New York. She ar
rived in America with very little
money and went to work as a
model Then one day she bought
bus ticket 10 Hollywood, hop
ing TO get a JOB in motion pic
lures.
With the little money she had
saved as a New York model, Le-
more enrolled at a Beverly Hills
little theater and played the role
OF the actress in The Man Who
Came TO Dinner
An agent saw Lenore and took
her TO see Samuel Goldwyn.
GoldWyn gave her a screen test,
signed her TO a contract, immedi-
ately cast her in They've Got
Me Covered" and promised the
terrific build-up' which never
came off.
Now that she's in front OF a
camera again, we hope Lenore
ALBERT will lose the title of Hol-
lywood's Moth Ball Girl"
She's much too beautiful 10 be
disappearing in motion pictures.

Contact Made With Six
Trapped by Mine Flood
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BRIDGEVILLE, Pa, July %
Rescuers attempting to reach six
miners trapped in the Ollett Coal
Co. mine by. flash flood reported
today they had made contact with
the men at the mouth of the mine.
The trapped miners were shout
ing for help, reScuers said While
efforts to reach them continued. the
Red Cross set up an emergency hos
pital and ambulances and physicians
were waiting.
Earlier. an attempt to reach the
men failed because not enough wa
ter had been pumped out to permit
entrance of Paft.
E. E. Quenon of the Bureau of
Mines said life sustaining air might
have seeped through foot of space
between the water level and the top
of the 10-foot tunnel if the men
were at their regular working place
beyond an upturn in the shaft.
The crew was marooned Tuesday
night
F. P. Ollett, president of the mine
firm, identified the men as Frank
Albertina, Cesare Rua, Peter Car
roll, John Bonassi, Albert Long, and
Henry Reinstadtler. All live near
the mine, which is II miles from
Pittsburgh.

To Ship Again

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 29.-William
Colbon, "a, British merchant sea-
man, who fought OF sharks during
most of the 76 days he was adrift in
a lifeboat, said last night he was
recovered after four months in a
hospital and ready to ship to sea
again.
Mr.. Colbon, who was reported
rescued February at Port of Spain.
Trinidad, was the only survivor of
20 men who took to lifeboat after
two German torpedoes struck their
African-bound vessel on November
20.
Now in New York awaiting pas
sage to Great Britain, Mr.. Colbon
told how the attacking U-boat pep
pered the lifeboat with shells from
a deck gun when an officer attempt
ed to signal other lifeboats with a
dashlight.
| The days that followed, the sea-
man said, were filled with dreams
of roast beef, coffee and cigar
ettes," and the stark reality of
schools of sharks that heeled close
to their tiny boat. A boatmate
wounded one of the sharks with a
Ratchet but it followed until Mr..
Colbon was picked up by an Ameri-
can freighter, 1850 miles east of
Tobago, he said.
His companions died one by one,
Mr.. Colbon said. and seven bodies
were in the lifeboat when he was
| picked up.
Mr.. Colbon, whose home is Liver
pool, said his wife, Martha, was
killed in Nazi air raid on Liverpool
two years ago. r."
