0PA Housewife Urqes
Separate Butter Points
Sees Confusion in Buying
Fats on Meat Coupons

4y the Associated Press.
Perhaps it can't be done, but Mrs
Philip Crowlie, official OPA house
wife adviser, would like to separate
butter and fat rationing from meat
rationing
It's sort of confusing to have to
buy butter and lard with your meat
coupons" the Huron IS. d. matron
explained.
You know, in my family of five
we were used to eating four or five
pounds of butter a week, and you
can't do that now.
But l don't know whether any,
thing can be done about that. After
all, If the butter isn't available, we
must do without, and I understand
that, from an administrative point
OF view, it is necessary to ration fats
and meat together"
She suggested that if the supply of
fats should improve it was more like
ly that the point values of butter and
shortening would be reduced rather
than separated from the meat cou-
pom system.
Outside of this situation. Mrs.
CroWlie said that meat rationing,
strangely enough" seem to be work
ing pretty well.
She said one of the problems she
IS going to take up with the ration
ing officials is a complaint that
adults are buying up canned baby
food for their own use

Pittsburgh Youth, II,
Confesses KILLING
Neighbor Girl, a
Lured Child to Cellar
With Promise of Cent
To Purchase Candy
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, April 7.-Police
1t. Michael Daugherty today quoted
q 17-year- old youth as saying he
choked, assaulted and buried in the
cellar of his home 4-year-old
neighbor girl whom he had coddled
as baby.
1t. Daugherty said Earl Perry
lured Theresa Williams, blond and
curly-haired, into the cellar with a
penny Ito buy candy" yesterday aft
ernoon. He said the youth told him:
II fell down the cellar steps. She
laughed and I became mad and
choked her"
Perry subsequently tramped down
the loose earth on her shallow grave
and went to visit girl friend, buy
Ing a bouquet of flowers for her
en- route, the lieutenant said. He
announced the youth was charged
with murder and an autopsy would
be held to determine, among other
things, whether the child was dead
when buried.
The body was dug up by the
fathers of Perry and the missing
Theresa early today after sister
of the youth told them she had seen
him digging in the cellar, 1t.
Daugherty added.
On discovering her body, Their
esas father, a mail truck driver,
seized an AK and started up the
cellar steps. AS detectives restrained
him, he wept and collapsed.
1t. Daugherty quoted Mrs. Adoplh
Williams, the mother, as saying
between sobs:
Il can't understand it. When she
was a baby, he (EarD pushed her
baby carriage and carried her in his
arms. He even put her to sleep for
me many times.
II was good to him. I allowed him
to walk in and out of my house like
4 SON."
Perry had joined crowd of neigh
bors who searched in the neighbor-
hood 10 hours for the girl, thinking
she might have walked into one of
the homes and fallen asleep.
1t. Daugherty said he took other
members of the Perry family into
custody as material witnesses chief
ly for their own protection because
Of the anger of the residents" They
included the parents, two sisters and
an aunt of the youth.
Walter J. Rome, chief probation
officer, said that Perry, son of an
1talian-born tailor, was on proba-
ton from Juvenile Court

Britain's Sales Tax
ONew York Tinesl

tNeW 4orK llleS(
 The sales tax is usually considered to be re eressive" ii e. the opposite of progressve') because falls with greater severity upon the lower income groups The British have largely overcome this crit- csm by the of graduated purchase tsales) tax, introduced in october, 1940. Taxable products are subject to levy of Is 2 per cent B per cent, or 100 per cent at the wholesale level Foods, some types of clothing and agricultural machinery and sup plies are exempt from the tax Also exempt are beer tobacco whskey sugar and tea, which are subject to special excise taxes Luxuries which include um breas ewery furs, clocks and watches, many leather goods and musical instruments and photographic equipment among others were initally taxed B lf3 per of the wholesale price equivalent to "A per cent at retail In 1942 the most of these products was increased 66 23 per cent This year it raised again to 100 per cent.
 The retail equivalent of this tax is about 72 per cent Such essential products drugs and foot wear are in the Is 2 8 per cent bracket about l2 per cent at etaiD while furniture toys cutlery and some types of china and glassware are taxed 33 | , per about "A per cent at retap The effect o1 these different rates is to introduce the progressive principle into the sales tax since essential items, representing the bulk of the spending of the lower income groups either exempt or affected by the lowest levies while less essential items bear very heavy tax.
 The purchase tax is collected from wholesalers because they are fewer in number than retailers, thus facilitating administration. To prevent pyramid ing of the tax the retailer is limited to the same absolute markup charged before the tax was adopted Thus if product cost $3 and sold for $45O, there was an absolute mark-up of $15O. Including the 33 3 per cent tax the cost would be increased to s4 and the new retail price would be $550 In the fiscal year ending March 31 1943 the purchase tax yielded S440OO0OO0 or about 4 per cent of the total tax receipts The relatively lower yield than that antcl- pated from the general sales tax here reflects the sharp curament of available supplies rather thall a lack of will to tax and tax heavily
 Because of the larger supplies still available Ill this country moderate sales tax than that Tn England would yield substantially larger proportion of the required revenues degree of progressVehess in the sales tax structure would be established II uniform general sales tax imposed while retaln- ing the separate excise on' luxury and semi- luxury items

papers has proved itself efficient, has made such excellent record in the news-gathering field, is because it has had competition from other such agencies.
 This court decision, however, apparently says that there is only such agency--the AP-worthy of being called news agency and it is therefore public utility In other words if the courts have their way there will longer be several good news agencies but one and this will be monopoly
 A law enacted 50 years ago to keep competition alive is now used to create monopoly
 Monopoly is dangerous thing in the news gathering field because it means control and the beginning of the end of free press, something without which these United States would not be as know them today.
 When this matter reaches the Supreme Court, as it will if appealed, let hope that for the good of the courts that this tribunal rememberssthe form and principle of government laid down in the Con- stituton of the United States of America.

Chief reason why the Duke and Duchess of Windsor stayed out of Nassau during the Marigny trial was because they knew they would be deluged with requests for inter- views by U. s. newsmen and sob- sisters Fortnight Congress man Estes Kefauver, the young Cordell Hull of Tennessee, has in iroduced one of the most important resolutions of the current session. It would require Cabinet members to face an hour or two of grilling from Congress once or twice a week in order that Congress may know what the executive arm of the Gov ernment is doing During the Bill Bullitt mayoralty campaign in Philadelphia. Republican attacks on his sexy book, Tt Isn't Done" got so bad that Congressman Jim Me- Granery went to Cardinal Dough- erty to inquire about rumor that the Catholic Church would de- incunce the. book The Cardinal good-naturedly replied: Tell MT.

WHO LEGISLATES?

According the Constitution of the United States, the government divided roughly into three divisions executive legislative and judicial.
 Congress the legislative body. to make the laws. The executive branch to carry these laws out and the judicial branch had its duty the inter- pretation.
 But today the American people are being gov erned by many many rules and regulations which are the same as laws-rules and regulations which have been news to Congress when they appeared. Most of these came from the so-caed bureaus. Some, if one admits that our legislative body too slow may have been necessary during wartime when speedy decisions needed to be put into effect with dispatch
 And at the same time, the judicial branch has been showing tendency also to legislative, and not interpret in any sense of the term
 We refer to recent decision of the United States This court by vote of two to one decided that the Associated Press had the status of public utility, giving Congress the run-around Ordinarily Congress and the state legislatures the only bodies which had the power to make such classificatons.
 The decision signaled out the Associated Press for this distinction completely overlooking the Unlted Press International News Service and other such competitors in the news gathering field
 The case was pushed by the antitrust division ot indications the Sherman Antitrust Act law enacted some 50 years ago the purpose of keeping industry a competitive basis.

THURSDAY. DECEMBER ?

Benefic aspects rule powerfully today, which should bring the United Nations remarkable success through their air forces.
 HEART AND HOME. This is an suspicious date for pushing all do- nestle interests. The planetary in- ttIuences stimulate activity in food processing and the planning of menus. The configuration is favor able for factory workers. Girl stu dents should think more of serious careers than of coming holiday fes- tivitieS.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Optimis- tic foresight of opportunities for business expansion in postwar days will encourage investment of cap | ital. Trade and commerce now should be active in the western hemisphere and will be amazingly accelerated within the decade. This is a fortunate date for constructive enterprises.
 | NATIONAL ISSUES: Destiny as foreseen in the stars indicates that the nation must provide manpower without limitation, inasmuch as more millions of fighters will be required in the accelerated speed of war. Army, Navy and Air Force leaders should dictate without po- litical interference, astrologers de- clare. The splendid training of our men is to prove of decisive value in all arms of service.
 INTERNATIONAL A F F AIR :: Defeat of Germany will mark the new year. it is forecast. Then Rus sia will prove that neutrality in re- gard to Japan was farseeing. There is a prognostication that Stalin will be of great aid to United Ma tions in the war in the Pacific after an act of treachery has caused him to declare himself a foe of the Nip ponese.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of prosperity in which lofty ambitions will be realized Danger of nerve strain that precipitates foolish quarreis is foreSeen.
 Children born on this day prolj- ably will gain success ln unusue, careers. Fine intellects and strong characters are indicated.
