Purported Report
BY United Press

The Nazi controlled Rome radio
beamed an English language pro-
gram to allied troops in Italy last
night, presenting what purported
to be an interview with Max
Schmeling who lost face with Adolf
Hitler when Joe Louis belted him
out of the heavyweight picture.
The man identified as Der Max
now a German soldier, in the prop
aganda broadcast extended good
luck to all fighting Yankees
He also denied reports that Primo
Camera, also a former world cham
pion, had been shot by the Ger
mans. Der Max" said he recently
talked with his old friend Camera
in Venice and that Carnera is
"happily married and has two chill
dren."

NEW YORK, March 81. (UP)-
AS the hubbub in triumphant Utah's
dressing room faded momentarily.
Prof. Philip o. Badger said to the
reporters: THUS is completed the
most amazing saga in the history
o. college basketball"
Professor Badger, assistant to the
chancellor at New York university
and president of the National Col
legiate Athletic association, was re-
ferring elatedly -a and somewhat
dramatically-to Utahs 1895 tri-
umph over favored st. Johns of
Brooklyn in their electrifying bat
tie Thursday night for the National
Collegiate championship.
Sports writer's who crowded into
that happy dressing room, among
k-slapping youngsters from Salt
Lake City and their admirers, ap-
preciated that Badger had wrap
ped up the story in two words !:
Amazing saga"
No one appreciated this crystal
lization more than Coach Vadal
Peterson of the Utah Utes, who
marched into this turbulent room
in Madison Square Garden and
held aloft the silver dish-about the
size of a small wash basin-which
is emblematic of the national
championship. Coach Peterson, a
middle-aged man with plenty of
gray in his brown mop of hair,
trotted about the room, rubbing
the silver trophy on the noggin of
each of his "blitz kids" athletes.
Like a syncopated king comforting
nighthood, Peterson yelled at each
as he rubbed, This is it, kid. It's
yours; you won it."

into effect, and strike them hard. Two cent postage stamps, for example, will lose their usefulness, when letters for lo- cal delivery take three cents. Toilet ar ticles now carry a 10 per cent tax. This is going to be 25 per cent.
 Night club patrons will pay more for their fun. They may not have noticed the present per cent tax. They can hardly overlook tax that adds 30 cents to every dollar they spend Furs and silverWare and other luxuries are boost ed and tickets to theaters and movies and ball parks, now taxed one cent for every dime charged, will have this tax doubled
 So it goes, and quite properly, too. It will boost the cost of living for most people, but it won't affect their bread and butter, or what are properly called their living standards But the amusing fact about this feature of the bill is that, though these rates were endlessly dis cussed, they were hardly noticed by the general public
 These are sales taxes of course, though they are. called excise, taxes. The Ad- ministration was. dead set against a gen. eral sales tax, and it can't be said that we are getting one in this bill But the differencesis hardly perceptible to the or dinary observer
 And, in view of the uproar caused by the mere mention of such a thing, is worth looking at what we are going to get. These innumerable little boosts are expected to add up to more than bil- lion dollars. But the entire measure aims at only a little more than two and a half billion. So, after all the commo- ton, we are going to secure nearly hal the increased revenue from a sales tax -CWorcester, Mass, Telegraph.

CALLING ST. PATRICK.

It seems that today as in times long past, Ireland is in need of some plain and fancy snake treatment.
 There arises the need to find somone who can make history repeat itself and rid the "Isle of Shamrocks" of it's present day menace-the Nazi snakes who are hiding in the grass, and as was the case in the past, an outsider, will probably have to take up the crusade, inaSmuch as the Irish seem to have no urge to clean up their own politics.
 Although there has been definite proof of Nazi spy activities in Fire and North Ireland, enough evidence to those who will listen, the Irish president refuses to commit his country to believe such in formation regarding such activities, or to agree to oust the Axis diplomatic of fees from Ireland
 The Irish should not be like an ostrich and hide their heads in the sand of past differences with England while a Nazi storm rages all about them.
 Ireland is even now accepting protect tion of the Allies.
