THE GREAT WHATSIS

Having in mind that official instruc-
tions must be accurate even at the eX-
pense of clarity, probably 1t would be
difficult for Treasury experts to express
more comprehensibly the requirements of
the income tax law they finagled Con-
gross into enacting
So it is TO the law, rather than 10 the
administration, that we must lock for
relief from such verbitage as this which
is intended to tell taxpayers whether
or not they have to file an estimate Sept.
Is of the tax they will owe Dec. 81:
"A declaration must be made by every
citizen or resident of the United States
if he comes within any of the following
groups:
"G) Single or married but not living
with spouse at the date prescribed Tor
the making OF the declaration twhether
or not head of family if he had for
1912. or reasonably expects to have tor
1943-
"(a) gross income of more than $270c
from wages subject to Withholding: or
"(b) gross income of $500 or more
from all sources if more than sl0o OF
such income is from sources other than
wages subject to Withholding.
"(2) Married and living with spouse
:f the date prescribed for the making
Of the declaration, if he had for 1912 or
reasonably expects to have for 194o-
"(a) gross income from wages subject
to withholding which. when added to his
spouse's gross income from such wages,
exceeds S3500; or
"(b) gross income f. m sources Other
than wages subject +" Withholding which,
when added to his sp~nses gross incolhc
from such son.UeS, exceeds S1Ul and
also his gross income from all sources
exceeds 1924 for 19A3 or the aggregate
r. SIS income from all sources of both
spouses amounts to $1,000 or more for
either 1912 or 1943.
"(3) individuals, regardless of mari
tai status, who were required to file an
income tax return for 1912 and whose
wages subject to withholding for 1943
are reasonably expected to be less than
such wages for 1912.
"The foregoing rules apply also to resi-
dents of Canada and Mexico whose wages
are subject to withholding. Other nom
resident aliens are not required to file
declarations.
Well-do you have to file, or don't
you? Why? Are you sure?
Senator Walter F. George is interested
in suggestions from the public for clarifi-
cation, simplification or other improve
ment in the internal revenue statutes,
including the income tax law.

LEND-LEAsE

President Roosevelt now has said pub
licly what many have known for a long
time, that the s14 billions we have lent
leased to our allies and associates thus
far and the 81 billion month that is
going out, are not designed to be collected
after the war
From The beginning it was inherent in
the situation that these things were gifts
or, perhaps rather were American con-
tributions to the defeat of the Axis,
though they were begun at time when
we were technically at peace with the
Axis nations This was true because
such huge sums are no more collectlble
in the future than their counterparts
were after World War |.
1t is unfortunate that the bulk of the
American people were deceived by the
pretense that lend-leas would come back
in kind or in value But it is well that
the deception now has been exposed by
the highest authority.

Early Invasion
Terrain Is Gentle
Bv UNITED PRESS

The British Eighth army and
Canadian troops should not find
the terrain too difficult in the
early stages of the invasion of the
Italian mainland at the Messina
straits.
The lower extremity of Italy
the toe of the l5ailan boot-is COM
paratively flat with only small
ranges of low bare hills that taper
off to the shore lines. These hills,
consisting of dry calcareous soil,
finger out from the great Apennine
range, which like a spinal column
runs down the center of the penin-
sula.
From there north, the ranges
diminish in size, except for q
sprinkling of volcanic mountains
notably Monte Multure, which
rises to 1857 feet, lying between
Melfi and Venosa.

Writes:

station licenses, without charges or

personal prejudices.
There were the analyses" made
by an FEC employe, as result OF
which radio stations were charged
with "defeatism' for such crimes
as emphasizing the peace theme in
Pope Plus Christmas message and
reporting that President Roosevelt
had cancelled a press conference
without giving any reason.
These are not all the instances.
They are just a few recent ones.
They emphasize that certain type
of bureaucrat of the liberal fringe
II. r. used to call it the lunatic
fringe-is as totalitarian as the fas-
cists we are fighting this war to
destroy
They emphasize also that censor
ship and restriction feed upon
themselves. Certain restraints which
would not be tolerated in time of
pea6 are inevitable during a war
We accept them as such. Then, un-
less we are eternally on the alert
each censorship and each restraint
is expanded, fraction of an inch
at time, until long g-cherished
liberties cease to be recognizable
We must have no Gestapo-not
even mild, unofficial, tentative
one-in this country.
With malice toward none, the
individuals guilty of the abuses
described, and all others like them
should be discharged from the gov.

GIorifying
Yourself
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

Take a look at your brush. Has
it collection of dust and hair
matted into the bristles? And your
comb-does it have an accumula-
tion of dirt lining either side of its
teeth? Well, then, it's certainty
some of this is going right back
into your hair when you use them
again,
Make habit of shampooing
your brush and comb as often as
you do your hair, and you'll find
that your hair will stay cleaner
and keep it's sheen longer" says
Lura de Gez, clever New York hair
stylist.
And to be certain that these ar
ticles are completely sterilized, ask
your beauty shop to show You how
they care for their brushes and
comb. Now that brushes are
classed as non-essential, you must
take the best possible care Of them
to make them last" Miss de Ge2
cautions.
Soak your articles in bowl OF
lukewarm soap Suds, then use a
nail brush to scrub the stubborn
dirt out of your comb. Rinse IN
hot water several times until thor
oughly clean. Do this twice week
if possible, and notice how much
better your coiffure keeps. .

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

A recruiting officer for the WACS
says that the reason many childless
war wives don't get into uniform
is because their husbands want
them to stay at home and keep
things as they are" for the hus-
bands return. She says a good
many wives seem to feel that their
husbands are right in that attitude.
But the recruiting officer points !
out: What they don't realize is
that things are going to be differ
ent; that the man who enters the
service is going to be a different
man. He will have been places, lived
through exciting experiences and
will have different outlook on
life"
That is something for a wife
without children, whose husband is
in the service or soon to go, to
think about.
The role of the little woman sit
ting at home waiting for her hus-
bands return may look like the
proper role to both herself and her
husband. 1t may even seem rather
glamorouS. She sends him out to
fight and while he is gone she sits
at home, lonely but brave, and
waits.
It sounds good But this is
hard war, and it may be a long
one. A young able-bodied woman,
with no one dependent on her. has
MT any business sitting around
trying bravely to carry on until
her husbands return.
Not if by getting into uniform
herself she can help to win the
war. 8.,
Furthermore, as the lieutenant
points out the sitting -at-home role
doesn't offer much to the woman.
Why should she deliberately turn
down the chance to lead a new
and interesting life. while her hus-
band is writing her enthusiastic
letters about all that he is seeing
and doing?
NO REAL COMPLIMENT
IA mans determination to- have
his wife stay put so that he need
Mt worry about her while he is
gone sounds noble-if you don't
look into it too closely. The average
wife accepts it as a high compli-
ment. a5nz
But the wife who really has a
right to feel complimented is the
woman whose husband takes this
attitude: I'm proud of you for
wanting to do something to help
win this war. You choose your job,
and I'm with you. Besides, know
you'll be much happier if you are
having new experiences and work.

home worrying about me-"

PRAYER ON CAPITAL HILL

michigan Christian Advocate)
With view to finding some solution OF
these basic problems since last January,
a small group of interested lawmakers
has been holding breakfast prayer meet
ings" on Wednesday mornings in the Sen
ate Restaurant. 1t is strange indeed to
observe these veterans of many Congress
sional hearings who have probed the
minds of many witnesses about banking

and scores of other controversial matters,
put themselves on the stand to ask how
they may submit to divine guidance so
as to do their full share in leading this
generation out of its confusion. At
recent meeting, Senator Wiley of Wis
consin who presided bade his colleagues
bow in prayer saying, eve are seeking
light for ourselves" and Senator Willis

tan teachings are the only hope OF solv-
ing our domestic problems expressed

different political parties and denomi-
nations felt

There is news for you. And it is assur

SHALLOW SOpHlSTRY'

pasadena Post)
DR.. Libby (Frederick J. Libby of the
National Council for the Prevention of
War; fears we would be used by Russia
and Great Britain if we should continue
our wartime union of interest with those
powers. but he would give Germany a
negotiated peace ana allow Germany to
participate from the beginning" in all
efforts toward international collabora-
ton.
This would be to trust every nation in
the world to be good and not require coer-
cion, while proclaiming that the two
nations fighting on our side can not be
trusted.
To cap this array of shallow sophistry,
DR.. Libby gives us matchless sentence:
"The border between the United States
and Canada is the safest border in the
world, only as long as it remains dis
armed
The fact is, of course, that the border
between the United States and Canada
has remained unarmed because it is the
safest border, instead of the other way
around. And it is the safest border be-
cause the United States is on the side OF
it and what DR.. Libby probably would
still term a part of the British empire Is
on the other side.
We would scarcely have left that bor-
der unarmed if Hitler had captured Can
ada in 1910 as he captured France and
the little nations of continental Europe.

SOME WRITE SPEECHES

There are, however, no known
facts on this plot, if any. These
are lot of rumors and Surmises,
guesSes and accusations. 1t is note
worthy that there are no denials,
1t is known that these people have
the ear of the President. Some of
them write the early drafts of his
| messages and speeches. Others
draft in official language the execu-
| tive orders that ne signs. Others
are his messenger boys. Others his
eyes and his reporters and they
come back and tell him what they
see and find and think and feel.
A president may be no better or
no worse than his advisers. At
any rate, president, vulnerable
in all things. is particularly vul-
nerabIe If his official family is
open TO criticism either personally
or politically. This gang is that
way. Hopkins, il is said, should
Mt live at the White House, a
Supreme Court justice should be
above monkeying with politics, a
New York state justice shouldn't
be spending so much time in
Washington and who's paying his
expenses, none of the others was
ever elected to public office, and
who ever heard Of them before,
anyway?
NEVER AN EVEN BREAK
The rule in politics is that yor
never give an opponent an ever
break. An appointive official |;
never given credit for having the
same sincerity or public interest as
an elected one, and vice versa. Any
thing about which there is any
mystery or uncertainty is assumed
to be crooked.
The trouble with the Palace
Guard is that it doesn't work in 9
goldfish bowl. If it did, a lot ol
the suspicion might be removed. Il
1t were removed, lot of the glamol
would be gone and these character,
might be revealed as just average
citizens, maybe smarter than mos
but still too dumb-or would 1t bt

Rr PETER EDISON

The way things are shaping up
now. one of the warmer domestic
issues on which this red hot 1914
political campaign will be waged is
not an abstract problem at ALL but
a matter of personalities - the
makeup and duties OF the social
ed Palace Guard of Roosevelt ad-
visers haunting" the White House.
Specifically, Harry Hopkins, who
lives in the White House, Supreme
Court Justice Felix FrankfAer
Judge Samuel NJ Rosenman of New
York, Presidential Administrative
Assistant David K. Niles, who is
also regarded as an outside and
front man for Harry Hopkins; Ben
Cohen. who is an assistant to War
Mobilization Director James F.
Byrnes, and Director of the Budget
Harold d. Smith. There are other
secondary lights, fair-haired boys
such as Edward F. Prichard, in the
office of Economic Sterilization Di-
rector Fred M. Vinson, and Econ
omist Richard v. Gilbert of OPA
who probably don't cut much ice
There are also number of other
presidential administrative assist
ants-LoWell Mellett of the defunci
Office of Government Reports, Nc.
Mutt protege Wayne Coy. who is
now Smiths assistant in the Bud
get Bureau; jonathan Daniels, sor
of Josephus. Their names are moi
so frequently mentioned as being OF
the Palace Guard, but they must be
listed on any muster roll of the
passionately anonymous officia
first family.
The top names on the list are
ones that are hated. In any
political battle there must be
somebody to hate. II you don't
have an opponent, OF an enemy.
there isn't any issue. The plot in
this instance runs that the top
names oil this list, in some mys-
teri0us manner, constitute sup
government which is above the
cabinet and seeks to override
Congress, overthrow the govern
ment and establish gosh knOweth
what. Maybe the Fourth Inter
rationale. Maybe SO. The plot
is that the President is so busy
running the war he lets these
people run the country.
