POLITICAL PARADE
BY GEORGE ROCKWELL BROWN

COINCIDENCE. Mr.. Kelland
has been taking Winston
Churchill too seriously.
No realistic person believes
that Mr.. Roosevelt could sit
down with any Republican, and
agree with that Republican on
any foreign postwar policy.
But if this miracle should
transpire. there is no power on
earth that could bind TO the full
fillment of such an agreement
the man who may be nominated
next year as the Republican
candidate for president.
NATIONAL conventions adopt
~ platforms, but presidential
candidates make their own, once
they are nominated. This nearly
always has been true.
The Republicans ihs1896, for
example. nominated a man who
long had been an advocate of
bimetalism for president, but
when Bryan made free silver
paramount" Mr.. Mckinley had
expected to wage the campaign
on the tariff issue. because

Then again, they reckoned on
aviation as IL was. forgetting
that the enemy might step up
its aerial defenses and steal a
march on us in the matter OF
military performance, as in fact
happened. They overlooked that
in air warfare, as in any other
kind, premature attack without
clear cut superiority is a temp
tation TO be overcome.
The present signs of impa-
thence with the progress of the
Battle of Germany is in part
the result of the excessive
hopes. Those who put the en-
phasis on the shortcomings OF
existing aviation were appar-
emily closer TO reality. We eau
toned against expecting too
much from aerial weapons that
had been forged many years
ago-and not even of those. We
demanded instead the immedi-
ate channeling of national re-
sources into aircraft that en-
bodied not a part but all of the
latest possibilities of aeronau-
teal engineering.
THE rocket type aerial tor
l. pedo sprung on us as a sur
prise by the enemy showed that
things that seem fantastic" to
outsiders are often perfectly
practical in the eyes of experts.
In Judging the air attack on
Europe in its present stage il
should therefore be borne in
mind that the aviation applied
thus far represents only a frac-
ton of the military efficiency
technically possible, and that
the most effective bombers al
ready in production are not yet
in action.
1t should be recalled, more
over. that we failed TO foresee
the need for true convoy fight
ers and are therefore obliged TO
improyise extra droppable tanks
and other makeshifts right in
the heat of battle.

Hundreds Of taxpayers filed into

nal Revenue yesterday to beat the
tax dead-line of II p. m. and pay
the second quarterly installment of
their income tax to Uncle Sam.
The pay-aS-you-go law did not
exempt the taxpayers from paying
the June Is installment, although
it was argued that the rs per cent
forgiveness abated the second, third
and fourth payments. Another pay
ment will be made in September,
Gabriel Price, internal revenue
agent asserted, and any overpay-
ments will be related. Under the
new law, taxpayers will still have
to make out an annual return des-
plte the pay deductions beginning
July l. They will then credit their
weekly payments against the
amount due.
Under the law persons who were
unable to pay their quarterly in
stallment forfeited the privilege of
paying on that basis. The rest of
their tax becomes due and payable
and interest is charged on the I'M
paid balance.
Officials of the Internal Revenue
office are awaiting a ruling from the

cedure for delinquents, as we'll as

TIN COLLECTION
DRIVE CONTINUES
City May Apply for Greater
Gasoline Allowance to
Assist Group

1--WE have no intention OF chang
ing the tin can collection schedules
that are in order at the present
time" announced J. Warren Epson,
chairman of the Waterbury Salvage
committee, today, in response to
Street Supt. Herbert Scott-Smith' S
comment that the city's street de-
parment is suffering the same re-
strictions on gasoline consumption
as individual motorists.
IF Mr.. Scott-Smith finds that his
supply of gasoline is greatly lack
ing and may appear to hamper the
tin can collections, then I shall do
everything in my power to obtain
supplementary supplies of gas, be-
cause this tin collection campaign is
very mportant-more important
than most people realize" declared
Mr.. Epson.
Mr.. Epson added that Mr.. Scott
Smith hadn't approached him about
any changes in the present setup,
and until he does everything will
continue as in the past.
Mr. Scott-Smith told the board of
works last night that the street de-
partment was allocated only 1000
gallons of gasoline every six weeks,
which is hardly enough to keep its
trucks and other gasoline-operated
machinery in service. He added that
it takes approximately $50 gallons
of gasoline per month to service the
trucks engaged in scrap collection.
The board will request the local and
state rationing boards to supple
ment the allowance of gacoline for
the local street department, per
Scott-Smith's protest.
