THE INTERESTING CASE
OF GENERAL LA GUARDIA

There is lot of interest in the presi-
Dental effort to commission Mayor La
Guardia of New York general in the
army, presumably for duty in Africa.
Whether we like or dislike the fiery
little Italian American, we must confess
that the move appears to be smart dip
omatic-political maneuver of some kind,
the nature of which remains obscure.
Without being aware Of the exact STRAIT
egy, our sixth sense tells us that the
Italian nation is vulnerable to attack in
spots other than her military armOr, and
that the little giant of New York is TO
be the spearhead of this diplomatic at
tack.
LaGuardia is glamorous person, es-
pecially in the eyes of American and ma
tive Italians. To those of his native
blood in Italy, in Africa and in this coun-
try, he must appear as some superman
and thus command considerable follow
ing. Just how this idolatry can be cash.
ed in upon, we fail to see at present, but
there doubtless is some great value to
which it can be put or else this strange
effort to obtain high commission for the
man would not have developed.

SCORES DIRECT HIT
A flying fortress scored a direct
hit with a 500-pound bomb on the
stern of the largest destroyer in
the group, so damaging that 1t
probably sank while it's fellows
were running northward for cover.
The use of destroyers to try to
supply their bases indicated the
Japanese had reached a desperate
point. While destroyer can pen
citrate an aerial blockade where
slower supply ships cannot, it's load
is necessarily limited and it's use is
practical only in the most urgent
situation. 1t was recalled that the
japanese only recently were dis
covered using Submarines to haul
supplies TO Lac. on the lew Guinea

WHY OPPOSITION TO
THE RUML PLAN

For the life of us, we cannot under
stand administrative opposition to the
Ruml pay-as-you-go tax plan
Something appears decidedly odd in
the fact that the plan seems so intelligent
and cleancut, yet the treasury department
concocts such strange counter arguments
and the President, after voicing opposi-
tion on rather tiSSue-thin grounds, sud
denly goes quiet.
The treasury departments case ap-
pears to be an effort to build scarecrow
designed to frighten the masses into op-
position. 1t speaks of destroying valu-
able asset on the books of this govern
ment, by "forgiving" years taxes, when
the plan does no such thing. 1t merely
changes the basis of calculating the as
sets. The U.S.A. doesn't lose a thing
that we can see, and yet the treasury's
whole effort is to make the public believe
that something of vast worth will be gone
forever.
Frankly, it appears like out and out
Misrepresentation and trickery, though
we hesitate to believe that Morgenthau
. could stoop to such. low tactics or that
the administration would go to such
lengths merely to oppose victory by a
Republican sponsored plan.
Other arguments made against the
plan also indicate pronounced effort
to blind the public to the facts and divert
attention away off somewhere else-a
habitual new deal strategy
We must realize that the object is for
everyone to pay taxes as income rises
or falls. This guards against individuals
spending, all they earn in good income
years, and being unable to pay their tax
the following year. 1t protects individ-
uals and it protects the government both
now, and against the time when all this
war-business will start dropping Off
But major governmental argument
against the Ruml idea is that we would
get as much income this year on the Ruml
plan as on the old plan. That might be
true today; but the difference is only
slight if at all and we're bound to make
a lot more when the tapering off pro-
cess starts following the war Are we to
look only as far as our noses?
There will be tomorrow, and we must
think Of those years when we drop from
12O billion income back lower and lower
toward the 80 or 70 billion-a-year normal
income level. What's a few hundred
thousand loss today as against the pos
sible BILLIONS loss tomorrow?

A BIG BITE

(Wm. Allen White)
Japan is beginning to see the cold gray
dawn Of the morning after 1t isn't the
day OF grief yet, but it is the dawning
day of doubt.
A grapevine rumor from London,
which seems to be fairly authentic, de-
clareS that Soviet Russia has refused to
answer Japan's questions on her future
far eastern policy in case the German
invaders are finally defeated.
Meanwhile in Tokyo for the first time
certain industrialists and older officers
of the army and navy are openly saying
that perhaps the Japanese forces are
spread too widely in the Pacific.
Japan's plight reminds us of the sad
fate of Bill Nye's ambitious pup Epa-
manondous, who thought he could eat
anything that came along. He was all
right until he ran into plasterers white
coat on mortar board and tied into it.
The pup got the creamy plaster down
all right but when it got into his insides
it hardened. Bill loved his pup and af-
ter the ambitious dog had died Bill
scraped the dog from the plaster cast
and buried the remains, leaving the plas-
ter cast Of the pup as monument Above
the plaster he wrote these touching lines

Soviet Bayonets
Account for 200
Nazi Infantrymen

MOSCOW, March 81. (UP)-Red
army troops advanced to seize ia
Vorable positions northeast of Smo-
lensk in a bayonet charge today
while Soviet artillery broke up Ger
man preparations for a new assault
against Russian defense lines on
the Knarkov front.
Everywhere, however, activity was
on a reduced scale as mud begged
down tanks and other vehicles and
slowed infantry movements.
The Soviet midday communique
said the Russians killed 200 enemy
infantrymen with bayonetS and
grenadeS in charge south of Belly
ON the SmolenSk front that carried
into the German trenches.
NAZIS HURLED BACK
Elsewhere on the Smolensk de-
fense perimeter, the communique
said, the Russians hurled back a
German counter-attac with heavy
losses to the enemy. Eleven pris-
oners were captured. One German
bomber was Shot down and another
disabled.
The capture of two hamlets and
a strongly-fortiiied defense center
on the Smolensk front yesterday
was reported in the Tuesday mid
night communique, which said 300
Germans were killed in the fight
ing.
Soviet artillery on the Kharkov
front destroyed four German tanks
and dispersed an infantry battal-
ion-normally 1000 troops-today
less than IL hours after the Ger
mans lost 40 tanks and 500 officers
and men in futile attempt to
break the Soviet defense line along

GIN-MARRIAGE LAW OUT
(RedlandS Facts)

The California assembly has voted to
repeal the gin-marriage law requiring
three-day wait between filing Notice
of Intention" and the issuance of Ii
cense. The vote was by wide majority,
indicating that the senate will also pass
the measure.
Thus law with laudable purpose,
but impractical of application, seems to
be on the skids. 1t was enacted to keep
couples from marrying in drunkenness,
or impulsively. The court records are
full of evidence that haste to the altar
often spells haste to the divorce court.
Arizona and Nevada, two states which
have no more morals than an alley cat,
are responsible for the breakdown of
California's law. Offering day and night
marriage license service, and fostering a
clan of professional wedding vow read
ers, they have nullified the good inten-
tions of California. Couples who did not
like the three-day law could take a spin
across the border.
The more recent California law re-
quiring blood tests as prerequisite to a
marriage license has also tended to out
mode the gin-marriage law. With the
doctors occupied full time now, couple
must quite often wait two days to get
their medical certificate.
