Bill Stern Is 'Offside'
Bill Stern had a horrible time of
1t broadcasting the Redskins-All-
Stars football game the other night.
AT one point he had the All-Stars
leading, 20-14, which would have
been all right with the Redskins
and few minutes later he was tell
ing his audience what great belt
the spectators were getting out of
"this baseball game"
Seven times this season Ameri-
can League teams have scored 13
or more runs and four times it
was Washington.
The chill in the air hasn't dam
pened Clark Griffth's enthusiasm
for night baseball. Wen play
night games right through to the

 WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Nov. l5.-A new slogan was given the na- tion's capital today by Chairman Doughton, when he said You can shear sheep every year, but you can skin him but once. -s.: ;. Meanwhile the Ways and, Means committee of the house approved a tav bill for $2,142,90
 Rep. Carlson, member of the committee, predicted the House and country would accept this second wartime revenue meas ure which is about one-fifth of the ten billion and one half ask ed for by the administration.
 The bill provides for: a, new federal revenue supplement of approximately 38 billions col lected under present tax laws.
 Here's how it affect individual incomes:
 It-repeals the Victory tax and increases normal tax rates from six to ten.spercent and retains the present personal exemptions. It credits dependents, adopts re- adjustment surtax schedule cal culated to help facilitate a mer- ger of Victory, ipcone -levles.a
 It suspends for the duration earned income credits and re- quires married persons filing sep arate returns to take single per sons exemptions.
 The bill provides the tax bill be not less than three percent of the net income in excess of pr- sonal exemption of $500 for sim gle persons and $70O for married persons, and $l00 credit for each dependent.
 It is expected this bill will return nine million Victory tax payers not now subject to regu- lar income levies while it retains the existing overall tax limit ot 90 percent of the largest incomes

253 TONS OF BOMBS ARE DROPPED

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC, Nov. l0.-Ltberator and Mitchell bombers, following up strafing raids made by fighter planes, plastered AlexiShafen, Mandang, using 253 tons of bombs Saturday in the heaviest aerial assault yet thrown against the Japanese on New Guinea islands.
 P-4O and P-39 fighters swept airstrips at Alexishafen, leaving fires at the expense of one craft shot down.
 Then waves of Liberators at medium height followed Nit chells at three-top height, to give the enemy thorough going over.
 A strong force was on hand protecting the target, but not Jap  anese planes, since their air force had been weaken consider ably from carriers attacks. ~
 Airstrips at Wewak, Mandang, kept the Japanese from any aer- ial interference. F: :.
 The Australians were progress ing up the Markham and down Ramu valley, presumed as a giant assault intended to hamper the enemy's aerial supply troops in forward areas. .,
 The only heavier attack was the bomb tonnage October 12, on the raid at Rabaul, when $50 tons were dropped.

 OF NOME -~
By CPL. w. D. STARNES

One can hardly realize the things that it takes to keep an army in operation until they have had the chance to really take a peek behind the scenes and see with their own eyes the various phases of army life.
 During recent swing around the post this columnist had the pleasure of seeing the inside workings of an outfit under the command of Lieut.. Ogilvie. These fellows under the capable guid- ance of First Sergeant Downs, a peach of chap who really gets the job done, have practical ly accomplished miracles. You might say that they have used ingenuity but closer look shows that the boys have combined this with plenty of hard work. There should never be moments of loneliness for these fellows as long as they have the same spirit that is so prevalent at the pres ent time. One of the outstand- ing points of interest in this set up is the recreation room truly one that should be the envy of every organization in this part of the world When confront ed with the problem of soft seats these boys managed to get their hands on a few old vehicle seats and with few boards and little work these chairs would run an overstuffed davenport a good race in any domain. They, too, have their own PIX and li- brary that is really operated with a system. It's well worth seeing and if you're ever in the vicinity don't fail to take a look inside. ':i '.f--'
 Another chap in this outfit that deserves mention and a lot of credit is Sgt. Randall. This fellow is in charge with the ra- dio section and what he has done with few old pieces of eufpment toward providing entertainment for the boys is amazing. These men have an attitude that means first "get the job done' sec ondly, "have darn good time when it's done and you car take it from me :. they're doing top notch job of both.

BRITISH ..
  IMPROVE POSITIONS

CAIRO, Nov. l5.-(AP)-Brit- ish troops improved their posi- tions in central and northern sectors on the Dodeoenese Is lands at Leros yesterday, in flicting substantial casualties on the Germans and capturing a number of prisoners.
 A communique said fierce fighting for the island was im- portant because of it's strategic location on the Aegean Sea and because of it being an important sub base.
 The operations in this sector was accompanied by continual aerial blows which long range fighters carried bombing assaults over German positions.
 The battle of Le- -Ros is still in conclusive. However, official re- ports yesterday said Germans established a numerical superior ity force straddling the island at its narrowest point, virtually di- viding the British and Italian defending forces in the north and south, although the Allies still held Lsrosfi, chief town in that sector.
