Forest Hills Citizens Association
last night.
Although women have proven
equal or better than men in the
operation of streetcars, he said, only
"a CT IS of them are at present
either acting as motormen or in
training for such jobs. He urged the
citizen group to encourage women
to apply for the jobs available with
the transit company.
At the same time, Mr.. Giddings
pointed out that the transit COM
pany is operating under grave
manpoWer shortage. which appears
to be growing steadily. Already. he
said, the company is some 300 men
short IN its streetcar and bus traffic

FRANCO:
NO One Can Vim

Appealing to "the conscience of
peoples" Spanish Chief of State
Francisco Franco again called upon
the warning powers to come to
peace.
Asserting that the present conflict
had reached deadlock, Franco said
that neither side now has the power
to destroy the other.
1.-THE world has now undergone
three years of war and when this
time is passed it is fitting to think
of peace, of ending hates and of
bringing peoples together" Franco
stated.
Again claiming that Spain has pre-
served her neutrality to be avail
able to the warning powers as a me-
diator in negotiations, Franco de-
clared: Abroad, Spain demands a
post which corresponds to her his
tory in service, humanity and
worth"
To Francois plea, Foreign Secre-
tary Anthony Eden of Britain re-
piled: "Our terms are unconditional
surrender"

TUNISIA:
Steak and Potatoes

While captured German generals
were putting down steaks, potatoes,
and peaches in an American prison
camp after they had surrendered
with thousands of their troops,
Allied forces sealed the fate of the
remnants of the once proud Afrika
Korps on rocky Cape Bon PENN
sula.
Blasted by swarms of Allied
planes ruling the skies and an AL
lied fleet that stood off of Tunisia
ready to crush any attempt at
evacuation, the 10000 Axis soldiers
that retired to the skinny neck of
land faced their doom, resisting to
the last.

led by Maj Gen. Willibald Boro-
wiecz, surrendered to Maj.-Gen.

RUML PLAN:
Returned to Life

Buried more than a month ago.
the Ruml plan has sprung back to
life, and although it has slightly
changed form, it is still recogniz-
able in congress. The latest YER
sion of the Ruml plan would for
give all income taxes for one year,
except those of persons excessively
profiting from the war, and put the
nations taxpayers on a current
basis.
According to the latest bill, 20
per cent Withholding tax after legal
exemptions, would be imposed on
all weekly wages or salaries, on
either the 1912 or 1913 incomes,
whichever are higher. The remain
ing years taxes would be wiped out.
To guard against persons profit
ing from excessive profits from the
war effort, regular normal and sur
tax rates would be applied against
all income over the persons ordi-
nary income for 1898, '39 or 40, plus
$4,000 exemption.
Provisions for special payments
by farmers and professional people
are included, indications being that
farmers would pay all but the last
installment this year, and then make
final settlement on March Is of
1914. The latest bill differs from
the one recently passed by the
house, in that the house bill would
merely forgive taxes on the normal
and first surtax rate,

GRAND STRATEGY:
FDR. Churchill Meet

No sooner had Axis resistance in
Tunisia collapsed than Prime Min
lister Churchill of Great Britain was
on his way to Washington to map
the next step in the Allied grand
strategy with President Roosevelt.
Although plans for an invasion of
Europe doomed largest in the dis
cussions, the situation in the Pacific
also was given much consideration.
Continued Japanese aerial assaults
on Australia and the pressure the
enemy was exerting on General
Wavells forces on the frontier in
India, were said to be of concern
to the conferees.
The two leaders re-emphasized
their Unconditional surrender" de-
cision of Casablanca.
Official quarters predicted the
formulation of a concrete plan of
action at the meeting. They remem-
bered that ChurchilFs visit here aft
er Pearl Harbor resulted in the de-
ciSion to concentrate on the defeat of
Hitler first; Churchills second con-
ference with President Roosevelt in
Washington in the summer of 1912
preceded the invasion of French
North Africa, and the Casablanca
meeting saw the development of
plans for the battle of Tunisia.
Discussion of the Russian-Polish
controversy, and policies to be
framed with the occupation of Eu-
rope, also were said to have entered
in the latest Churchill-Rooseve
meeting

break through the rugged enemy
positions before Bizerte.
The American forces continued
to mop up around Bizerte where
scattered bands of Nazis entrenched
in the hills continued firing till their
last round of ammunition. Much
enemy material was recovered,
since the German generals agreed
to turn it over unchanged as one
of the terms of surrender.
Also offering fierce resistance
was formidable Axis group hold
ing out against the British Eighth
army in the south. Cut off from
the remnants of the northern Axis
forces, this group stuck to the

artillery and infantry picked them
slowly to pieces. Even the Nazis
realized that their scattered forces
were inexorably doomed.

A man said to a waitress in a
restaurant: "I'm going to have an
other cup of coffee" mot here"
said the girl. "We'n see," said the
man, bring me cup of hot water"

perfectly legal. But it does
