In a letter written to an Oakland
person, Paul J. Jordan, who was re-
ported missing in action by the War
department on Saturday, was feeling
that some of the boys in the service
were not receiving recognition. His

French Africa, said: Il was reading

LET'S KNOW WHY
BEFORE WERE HIT

II isn't often that we've disagreed with
Secretary of Interior Harold l.. Ickes,
who is also petroleum cZar, since the war
started, although we disagreed with him
plenty of times before then The war
made him a considerably quieter and
much more effective executive, working
toward facts rather than theories
This time, however, we'd like to haze
a few facts from him before we can agree
with his latest pronouncement in favor
of a nationwide ban on sO-called pleasure
driving, which is not pleasure driving at
all, but should be called non-essenual
driving.
In Washington the other day, Mr.. lckes
told news correspondents he favored
extending to the whole country the policy
in effect on the eastern seabOard. He
did say, to do him justice, that certain
exceptions" should be made in oil produc-
ing areas His reasoning was that, Whlie
gasoline might not be scarce IN some areas
because Of transportation, 1t still would
be wise to build up surpluses of vital 1uei'
We cannot disagree that it is extremely
wise to see that there is enough petrol.
cum fuel in the country to take care OF
all present and anticipated, or even pos
sible. military needs. We think that no
body else will disagree with it.
But we have been told time and again
that there is enough fuel in this country
to meet all needs, everywhere. We have
been told that the reason for extreme re-
strictions in the eastern states is lack
of transportation.
If the nationwide restrictions are to be
tightened, the people have right to know
why. They have right to know the facts
behind the situation-to guard against
the make 'em suffer- boys of Washing
ton.
If we are running low on reserves, if
there is danger that the military machine
may suffer from lack OF fuel later on
nobody will complain at new RESTRICTIONS
But some airy pronouncement in favor
of building up reserves" is not enough.
We are entitled to know whether our OIL
production is less than we had been led
to believe it was, whether there is actual
ly any danger of running short.
Rationing just for the sake of ration
ing. when it achieves no useful purpose
in the war effort, is something which
should not be tolerated.

British Lose Tunis Hill

centered against an Axis-held height
southwest of Point Du Fahs, which
is 80 miles southwest of Tunis.
There was fierce fighting for
each defense position Radio Paris
said. Axis artillery inflicted Sc
we're losses and stemmed the Allied
advances. Units which broke thru
were later cut off and wiped out,
and the situation was restored by
nightfall"
Radio Paris also claimed that the
Germans had frustrated" an at
tempt to force q passage to Kali
rouan, below Pont Du Fahs.
Radio Algiers said American
bombings had completely destroyed
the ports of Sfax, Sousse and
Gabes, in Tunisia, and Biberte and
Tunis were the only ports the Axis
could use. They also had beN
severely pounded.
Gen. Henri Honore Giraud said in
q speech to African youth at Algiers,
that 10000 men from Tunisia, AL
geria and Morocco were fighting
against the Axis. a.
Now the Germans are beaten,

many has lost because her designs
were out of proportion to the means

remainder escaped into the jungle
Inland from Lac, in the Mubo

MESSAGE FROM THE FRONT

(Ontario ReporD
Eddie Rickenbacker, national hero OF
World War One and World War Two,
literally told US out for our failures
on the home front, in his speech in Los
Angeles Tuesday He minced no words
when he cried shame to the slackers in
industry who curtail production for the
boys at the front by strikes and absent
eeism.
Here is man, just back from brush
with death, Just out of the zone of first
line horrors, forced to face an lntoler-
able situation in his beloved homeland.
These are his words: "If necessary to
make us appreciate our duties bring back
the troops from the hellhOles of the world
place them in the factories, take the war
workers and place them in the foXholes
with filth, vermin, malaria, and the Japs
then our production will be increased,

that that is slowing up the badly needed

Nazi Propaganda
Goes Wrong Again

DONDON, Feb. 6.-CUP)-Brlt-
ish quarters were doubtful today
that the German propaganda min
istry and Gestapo had improved
their regulations for accuracy by
speculating that Prime Minister
Winston Churchill, Generalissimo
Francisco Franco, and DR.. Antonio
de Ohveira Salazar, premier OF
Portugal, were conferring or about
to confer in Lisbon.
When Churchill was in Casablan-
co with President Roosevelt, the
Gestapo had him in Washington
When he was in Turkey, they hao
him in half a dozen other places
When he was in Tripoli, they hao
him in a large neutral country oi
Western Europe"
Churchill was not believed tt
have left Tripoli until early today
The German radio, fed by the
propaganda ministry and Gestapo
began broadcasting "rumors' that
he was in Portugal before it was
announced officially that he was in

AS MARCH 18th
DRAWS NEAR
Jacksonville RegiSter)

Jacksonville Register)
Those rumbings of renewed interest
in the Ruml income tax plan signify that
March Is next is beginning to disturb the
sleep of our taXpaying citizenry.
In between tax dates most OF us can't
be worried about the details of the sys-
TEN. But now. with the Victory tax TAX
ing bites out of every pay envelope and a
huge installment cue soon on last years
tax, we're beginning to realize how much
harder it is to pay for dead horse than
a live one.
The Ruml plan proposes that we pay
most of our income tax as we earn it. In
that way we never would come up to an
annual March l5 with burdensome debt
to Uncle Sam and nothing with which to
pay
The current system assumes that most
taxpayers are Superhuman enough to give
up the money with which to pay a tax
whose very size we cannot know until the
saving period has virtually ended.
Suppose Joe DOakes keeping his New
Years resolution, lays aside 81 a week
for the $50 income tax he expects to have
to pay Seeking TO finance the war next
October or November congress decides
to up Doakes' tax to S75. OF what avail
were his good resolutions? OF what ben
eft that he kept them? He still hasn't
saved enough to pay the tax.
The Rum plan recognizes this diff
Guilty and reconizes also that human ma
ture is weak and that most of us, however
good our Intentions do not even save up
the $50 we thought We would have to pay
let alone the $75.
In so far as we have dared figure it
out. most of us realize that the tax next
March is going to hit us hard. Whether
or not we realize it, the tax a year from
next March will be much greater
The closer March Is approaches, the
more we can expect to hear about the
Ruml plan

STILL UNSETTLED

The federal administration, through Its
manpower program, goes gally on ltS
way forcing American men and women
into the big labor unions without giving
them chance to complain, to voice their
opinions or to speak at all, for that
matter.
The new draft rulings, dealing with
"non-deferrable' married men with chill
dren, is obviously an attempt to get these
non-essential workers into vital indus
tries, rather than an attempt to get into
the armed services.
That might be all right, except for one
thing. Practically every man who goes
into war production factories these days
has got to join a labor union, because
most government contracts demand that
union labor be employed
The administration has avoided an out
right draft If labor because, once bill
for such a draft was presented in con-
gless, the question of the unions would
have to be answered. The administra-
ton has side-stepped the issue ever since
the war started 1t is still side-stepping,
avoiding the direct path toward its OBJ
iective-greater war production employ
ment-because it does not want to take
a stand. But, sooner or later, the ques-
tion must be answered.
