Chaplain Harry F. Coder, on an

constant touch with the enemy
is proud of the chapel his men
have built in the jungle 10 scat
lis. I'VE constructed if by building
a framework over which we
stretched two pyramidical tents,
he writes. "Pews were construct
ed of logs. Our altar and pulpit
are made of logs set into long
section. Our thitty-inch cross was
made from two rough-heWn logs.
Two large shell cases were polish
ed to a brilliant finish to make
altar vases. There are no flow
ers in the jungle, SO we plan to
use ferns that grow abundantly.
We plan to sand the floor and
plant young cocoanut palms and
banana plants as background
for the altar. If interest and pain
stalking labor and fervor of wor-
ship have any meaning, our little
jungle chapel IS surely worthy to
be among those erected to the
glory of God

TAX BILL IS k0WLAW BY

 by 72 10 IA

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-A de- sermined Senate today teamed up with the House to override the President and enact the two bil- ion, three hundred and fifteen million dollar tax bill over his caus..
 ic veto message.
 The vote was 72 to IA to over
 ide the veto, far more than the necessary two thirds majority and he bill is now a law
 Spectators jostled for seats in the senate galleries to witness the vot- ing, drawn there by the sharp de- nunciation of the Presidents veto message made by Senator Alben w. Barkley.
 Senator Barkley helped to clear the present situation between the President and himself by dispatch ing a letter of friendship to the President last night but even the generally conciliatory tone of the missive did not completely bridge the gaping breach.
 Senator Barkley made it perfectly clear, that in the future there must be cooperation, both ways.

WARTIME DRAMA I5 SHOWING AT
 10TH CENTURY

Entertainment pulsating with drama and rich in human values is the keynote of the new Warner Bros. picture, "Casablanca,' now being shown at the 20th Century Theatre.
 The film, taking it's title from the Moroccan city that figured so largely in the recent war news, has to do with refugees from war-torn Europe and their attempts to se- cure exit visas to the Americas.
 Starred in the film are Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman and Paul Henreid, who scored as Bette Davis leading man in Now, Voyager.' A highly talented featured cast is headed by Claude Rains, Conrad veidt, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre.
 Although the story deals generally with the illicit trade in exit visas the love story of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman figures prom inently and is responsible for much of the swift pace of the picture.
