to use almond instead of vanilla as
a flavoring, and If she has even
tablespoon of coffee left over, she
drains the pot and saves it until she
has enough to replace part of the
milk in the filling. If you like, and
have 1t on hand, three tablespoons
of cocoa can be mixed with the flour,

.PAY-AS-YOU-GO. SHOWDOWN SEEN.
Advocates of Income Tax Plan Attempting to Com.
 bine It With Debt Limit
By TONY SMITH ,Ad Preaa Staff C,orresnOndentl

ny 4OAN4 0AAAA M
 United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 Washington, Jan. 26 = (U.P) - Advocates of the pay.as.you-gL plan for collecting income taxes may force a showdown at a meet. ing of the house ways and means committee Thursday by attempting to combine 1t with the administra- tion's bill to raise the debt limit.
 That became @ possibility today after Chairman Robert L. Dough- ton, D., N. O., of the ways and means committee suggested that the pay-as-you-go hearings. originally scheduled for first considera tion, should be held over pending dispos- al of his bill to increase the nation- al debt limit to $210,000 00o, ,000.
 The idea of making the pay-as- you-go-plan a rider on the debt bill was first proposed by a member of the committee who asked that his name not be used. It immediately drew the attention of Representa- tive Frank Carlson, R., Kai1s., spon- sor of legislation to place the Ruml pay-as-you-go plan in effect.
 Eve heard that mentioned" Carlson said. Tt interests me quite a bit because 1t could be done. You can tack any kind of a rider on the debt limitation bill, providing 1t has to do with fiscal matters. I'm in favor of any plan which will get this pay-as-you-go program consid- cred at the earliest possible time.
 Republican members of the ways and means committee feel public in- terest in the pay-as- as-you-go plan is now at its height and are unwilling to delay consideration of 1t.
 Some supporters still held out hope for enactment of the program before the March IS deadline for filing 1922 income tax returns, but their ranks are dwindling in view of the dispute over methods of ef- .fecting the pay-as.you-go plan.
 Several new plans for solving the puzzle of what to do with a years current cropped up on Capitol Hill. tax charges if collections are made The Runl plan advocates want to forgive" l942 tax liabilities, con- tending that the government doesn't lose on individual tax pay CTS until they die. Treasury of1cials want to collect on both 1e42 and l943 incomes-at least in the higher brackets--on an installment basis over several years.
 Typical of the new suggestions was one heard by ways and means members which would have the government take out life insurance on all taxpayers for the amount of their l942 taxes. The taxpayer would be responsible for the premiums and the government would collect the amount of his back taxes when he died. Carlson said he had heard that plan discussed, but didn't feel 1t was taken very seriously.
 Another plan would average 1922 and 1943 incomes and require the taxpayer to pay currently during 1943 on the estimated average. At the end of the year, when correct figures are available, provision could be made for the proper adjustment based on the amount paid.

TIRE INSPECTIONS
 FOUND NECESSARY
Surprisingly Huge Number of Tires Fail to Measure
 Up to Specifications

Hartford, Jan. 26 = Only 16 pei cent of the automobile tires turned in to the government under tho OPA's Idle Tire Purchase Plan ir the Hartford area have been ap. praised and paid for as scrap, ac. cording to George N. Christensen local director of the program. Tht nationwide average is about 50 peI cent.
 The large number of scrap tireA turned in emphasizes the necessity for periodic inspections to extend the life of tires now on cars, Paul M. OLeary, deputy OPA Adminiss trator, pointed out.
 "They are casualties of the daya when we didn't have to have inspec- tons to take care of tires" he said. "They were so badly worn or danis aged when they were in service that they cannot now be made fit for re. sale to car owners who qualify to buy tires under mileage ratiotling. Since the motorists who turned iu the tires obviously didn't consider them scrap, the conclusion is that It takes competent inspectors to diagnose tire ills.
 "Tire engineers say that inspec. tions and consequent stitch in time repairs and recappings will greatly extend the life of tires now on cars" he added.
 OPA recently extended the dead. line for initial inspections of pass senger car tires. Holders of ".AS books have until the end of March. while B" and 70" book and bulk coupon holders have until the end of February.

respects in our history. Added to that, the departure of large numbers of our old faithful members to the armed forces we have a picture quite different than we have had at any other period. But we are at war and all is geared for war and what we considered as our essentials are su- bordinated to that which is the first essential to winning the war. Our shortages and deficiency in mater ials are necessarily supplanted by substitute means and methods ot carrying on our work and must con- tinue this until our forces emerge victorious and we are again able to resume our normal way of life. We do not have to look very deeply into the situation to understand that the obstacles we are meeting can be con. sidered very small when compared to those of our fighting men and the peoples of the less fortunate na- tionS who have lost their freedom ot life after the invasion of their homes by those who are the cause of the condition of the world today.
 Social Services
 But the necessity of functioning in war time is even greater than in times of peace. The curtailing of social services in English commun- ities was found to be very detrimen- tai in respect to morale and the up- lifting influences necessary in times of great tribulation. Periods of re- lief from the strain of watching and waiting for a fearsome condition must be provided to act as @ safety valve to those affected. This safe ty valve can be found in the Boys Club by allowing the boy the use of our facilities and providing the boy a chance to engage in wholesome competitive play in properly super vised surroundings.
 The purpose and development of the Boys Club was through plan- ned method of providing boys who lack opportunity for wholesome rec- reation, companionship and 8 con- Structive use of leisure time. Its membership is fixed within the means of every boy starting at twen- ty-five cents year. It requires no previously developed interest or af- filiation with group and it's doors are open to all without limitation as to specific periods. The Boys Club creates an environment in which character develops under na- tural and favorable circumstances because 1t is conducted informally and continuously in an atmosphere of informal play. Therein 1t de- velops leadership by competitive play better fitting the boys for fu- ture responsibilities of citizenship.
 The majority of the boys are at- tracted to the physical department for their activity. In this play cen- ter is promoted all forms of play both competitive and individual cen- tering chiefly around basketball team play. Added to this is pro- noted volley ball, hockey gymnas- tics. indoor baseball, soccer and numerous other games.
 This department also serves as the center of social activities which re-

FLYNN'S DOUBLE
 ON STAND TODAY
Buster Wiles' Testimony May Take All Day and
 Part of Tomorrow
By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood Corre-
 anAnmhArnk

SVUuUOub
 Hollywood, Jan. 26-(UP)-Bus- ter Wiles who functions as double, stunt man, bodyguard and general factotum for Errol Flynn, came to court today to testify that the boss never subjected any teen age girls to statutory rape.
 The big, redfaced Wtles attended the dinner at which Flynn allegedly undressed l7-year-old Betty Hansen and was intimate with her. Wiles also took the yachting cruise during which 16-year-old Peggy Satterlee claims Flynn twice attacked her.
 Wiles' testimony and that of sev- eral other witnesses for the defense was expected to i'll today's court session and part of tomorrow's. Then Flynn, with bruised nose he ascribes to an accident in his show CT, will tell his side of the story.
 The prosecution is prepared to give him @ rough time and probably will not complete its cross s-examina- ton until Thursday. Then the law yers for both sides will make their closing statements, including some oratory as purple as the occasion demands, and the case probably will go to the jury of nine women and three men Monday morning.
 Many a bet in Hollywood is being made at even money that Flynn will be convicted, though none of the anti-Flynn gamblers seem to believe he will serve any part of the maxi- mum prison sentence of 50 years.
 On today's agerda with Wiles is Fred McEvoy, amateur boxer from England, now living with Flynn. Last September, however. he was living in a renEed mansion at Bel Air, center of the movie colony, where he gave the dinner party at- tended by Miss Hansen.
 He will tell what was in the nys- terious cocktail, which Miss Hansen described as greeniSh and which she said made her i'll. McEvoy also will tell about her crawling into Flynn's lap and then going upstairs with him.
 A third witness, Miss Jean Long, worth, has evidence to bring in the case of Miss Satterlee, who charges that she made her first mistake when she went boating with Flynn. Miss L,ongworth danced in the chorus with Miss Satterlee at the Florentine Gardens a year after the alleged seduction.
 "And when Peggy first read in the papers about this Hansen case," Miss Longworth says, "she clipped a picture of MT. Flynn and pasted 1t on the wall of the chorus dress ing room."
 The girls had many a long talk, she continues. during one of which Peggy confided to the other dancing beauties that she was more exper- fenced than she looked. She said, in fact, according to Miss Long, worth, that she was the mother of an 18-month- baby boy, now under the care of 8 woman in Bev- erly Hills.
 Miss Satterlee admits having told about such a child, but says she didn't mean 1t. The jury, which has faced one puzzle after another in what has been perhaps the most blush-provoking trial in the history of Hollywood jurisprudence, also VIII have to make up its own mind about Miss Satterlee's baby, If any.

 I wish to thank at this time all those who have assisted us through out, the year. The newspapers of Waterbury in their willingness to cooperate in all our endeavors: the officers and directors, who, though occupied in many other forms of service, still lend their efforts in our behalf; our staff, who have carried along in these trying days; our many friends who continue to assist us in our efforts for the future cit- izens of our community, we extend grateful and sincere thanks.

.WPA ACTIVITIES
 HERE TO CLOSE.
Toy Lending Library Is Among Projects to Be Ali.
 fected By Ruling

The end of the WPA means the closing of the popular toy lending library and the play centers for children of war plant workers. Though there has been talk that some of the activities may be re. stored under private sponsorship, no action along this line has yet been taken. tf
 Also affected is the city's sewer construction program, which has made tremendous strides in recent years thanks to the WPA. Sanitary sewers have been constructed on scores of streets with WPA aid, sewers that otherwise would prob ably not have been built for many years.
 Repairs and rnoderniZation of city-owned buildings by WPA labor are also at an end.
 Through the WPA the City of Waterbury saved hundreds of thou- sands of dollars, not to mention the fact that hundreds who would have been otherwise jobless were given gainful employment.

 cago rectory or Church. The acc count in The Grail however states: ''The present owner of the crucifix has seen it bleed 8 dozen times al- though 1t is evident that the bleed- ing has taken place much oftener, at times when no one was near to see 1t There was no appearance of blood on the crucifix when 1t was acquired and none of the others purchased at the same time have been SO blessed. Informed of the bleeding the carver Came from Italy and was amazed at the sight.
 'The bleeding is in the wounds of the hands, feet and right side but the corpus has never bled from the crown of thorns. Sometimes 1t bleeds from the mouth. The bleed- ing is not always from all places at 0nce."
 The cruciflx has been given no publicity. Not until thorough ex- animation has ruled out all possi- bility of error will the crucifix be exposed for the veneration of the faithful.
 LNTPIAS IN SPAIN
 Wonders such as this are not strange in the Church. A similar crucihx is the Miraculous Crucifix which hangs above the high altar of the parish church of LinpiaS in Spain. The Eimpias 'Crucifix is known throughout the world. Hum dredS of thousands have come from all parts of the world to see 1t, many of whom came scoffing at its reported wonders but remained to profess their faith. For years the daily press in Spain has related its miracles and its wondrous mani. festations.
 Here the Body of Christ has been seen to move His eyes and to turn His head in various directions. Bright red blood oozes from the wounds, especially from the thorn crowned head and trickles down the head and shoulders. At times pres- piration covers the body and solne- times the face lights up with a spark of life and looks out upon the worshippers in the Church. Many miraculous cures have oc- curTed in its presence and thous- andS have testified in writing to its miracles.
 Through all the centuries God has sent such signs to His Church. Perhaps today we are given a new sign of an added grace. Perhaps we need such Q grace that we might see in our sufferings a chastize- I1ent of unfaithfulness and sin and a warning that the Master of man. kind will not allow His children to ignore Him with inpunity. Sin will be punished.
 COMMUNISTS AND UNIONS
 'Isn't the power and control of the Communists in some CIO unions Q reason why Catholics should remain out of those unions?"
 This was one of the questions pro- posed by one of the students at the Catholic Labor School last week. And reasons similar to this are the reasons proposed as excuses for not joining the American labor move-
