THREE TO ONE

(WatSOnVllle eglSter-PaJar0man)
The American chiefs of staff seem to
have answered effectively those who were
disturbed because, repeatedly, 73 per
cent Of the second front invasion force
will be made up of Americans.
The British, say the chiefs of staff,
ARE going to put in everything they
have got, and we are going to put in
everything we can get there"
If there is any better formula for in
vading the continent and realizing Gen.
Eisenhower's hope to end the European
war this year, none Of the critics have
suggested it.
We might just as we'll get it through
our heads right away that this is not
somebody else's war. 1t is our war, ust
as much as theirs. Our men are dying
and more of them are going to die Our
men are being manned, and more of
them are going to be manned. Our ma
tional future depends upon the outcome.
We have to contribute, to the full extent
of our resources in men, as we'll as in
materiel, to making that outcome favor
able.
There have been no noticeable COM
plants because the British were supply
ing more than their share of the men
in Africa, in Sicily, in Italy. American
failure to match Russian mortality, death
for death, on the eastern front has not
disturbed us.
Now comes the time when our allies,
all except Russia smaller nations than
we, have exhausted their ability to sup
ply soldiers. We, who were slow on
the uptake and have millions of men not
yet in uniform, must step in to fill the
gap. There is nothing wrong about that.
We are not trying to buy our way out
of this war with metal and wood fabri-
Gated into machinery, while our allies
do the dying. ANY man who ever wore
the uniform of this country would resent
the insinuation that we are that yellow.
There are, the good Lord knows, en-
ough things about the conduct of this
war to be criticized We do our best
to call attention to them, without ever
succeeding in skimming the thickest sour
cream.
Let's stick to things about which the
lavmen know something, and let the
military experts decide how many men
they can rake and scrape, from here and
there to carry out the biggest, most haz-
ardons most mOmentous invasion in
world history

TAX PLAN AUTHOR HAS
POSTWAR NOTIONS

An interesting bit of suggesting on
postwar plans and the route to follow
when this country swings again into its
peace-time stride comes from Beardsley
Ruml, New York executive who authOred
the original Pay-aS-Y Ou-GO income tax
program. Income taxpayers are oper-
atlng under few pieces of Rumfs plan
which congress spliced onto the much
jumbled plan enacted into law. Incl
dentally it pretty generally is agreed
that congress made a mess of both the
Ruml plan and the tax bill and this
feeling no doubt will be intensified as
taxpayers wrestle with the forms wait
ing to be filled out.
Highlighting his postwar set-up Ruml
unequivocally will have naught of spend
ing Just for spending sake and no prof.
ects because they would support pur-
chasing power in general Then he re-
cites the following as key points:
Second, let us lower our tax rates to
the point where they will balance the
budget at an agreed level of high en-
ployment.
Third, having set our tax rates to
balance the budget at nigh employment,
let us leave them alone, except as there
are major changes in national policy.
Fourth, let us hold on to the prin-
ciple of progressive income taxes and
estate taxes as the best way of reversing
the tendency of purchasing power to
come to rest.
Fifth, let us plan our public works,
not to balance the whole economy, but
to help toward stabilizing the construc-
tion industry.
Six, let us neutraize the social secur-
ity programs as far as their fiscal influ-
ences are concerned for old age
security, let us set our rates and bene-
fits so that they come somewhere near
balancing; and for unemployment in
surance, let us set our rates so that in
take and outgo balance at high levels of
employment as it may be defined.
Seventh let US keep the important
excise taxes for the time being, and get
rid of the rest.
Eighth, let us arrange our lending
abroad, whether for stabilization, relief,
or longtime reconstruction, so that it
will support rather than contradict fiscal
policies adopted to strengthen our econ
omy.
Ninth, and indispensably, let us press
for a reorganization of the parts of the
federal government that have to do with
fiscal policy and administration We
want clarity in policy, consistency in ad-
ministration, and cooperation between
the executive and legislative branches"
Coming from one whose experience and
success give him the right to air his
views. these suggestions are worth deep
consideration by all who must help out
line an all-out postwar plan.

Columbia Plans
Courses TO
Help Veterans

NEW YORK, Jan. II. CUP)-Re-
vision of courses and relaxation of
entrance requirements to better fiji
the needs of returning servicemen
during the first three postwar
years has been announced by Dean
Robert CalkinS of the Columbia
University School of business.
Anticipating that many of the
men whose educations have been
interrupted by war service will be
impatient with undergraduate re-
quirementS, Dean CalkinS, in his
annual report to the president of
the university, says the School of
Business plans to admit qualified
veterans as unclassified students.
They will be given credit wherever
possible for military education and
allowed to substitute courses in
other fields for those in the busi-
ness school where desired to fill
in gaps in previous schooling. Re-
fresher courses also will be offered
for these students, he said.
PLANS UNDER WAY
Dean CalkinS said plans are un-
derWaT for an evaluation of mill
taIy classificatio tests as indiea-
tions Of college aptitude and sug-
gested that schools at which Army
and Navy college trainees are en-
rolled undertake study of their
scholarship records as a basis for
future college credit.
Dean CalkinS predicts that many
men who were preparing for careers
in law, architecture, dentistry and
other professions will go into buSi-
ness rather than resume their long
training. He foresees also a desire
for business training in many ma
ture men who had little or no COL
lege education but who may have
definite business objectiveS. The
latter, he says, will be offered a
special instruction course, under
direction of selected advisers, be-
fore being entered in the School
of Business.
CITES ESSENTIALS
Pointing cut that foresighted
business leadership will be essen
tial TO prevent depression in the
postwar effort will be made to pre-
sent students with wider view of
other fields than has been previous
ly undertaken in the business school
curriculum. Also included, he said,
will be fields of study which may
make particular use of ex-seryice-
mems military experience.
Dean Calkins said the lowering
of requirements to meet the spe-
cial problems of war veterans would
not extend beyond their need and
that the School of Business had no
intention of offering a complete
undergraduate course of study.

Warren Speeds
Plans for
Prison Reforms

SACRAMENTO, Jan. II. up
Gov. Earl Warren Monday contin-
ued a series of conferences prepar-
atory to asking the state Legislature
to vote reorganization of the state
prison system at special session
beginning Jan. 27.
Following a weekend conference
with Isaac Pacht, president of The
state board of prison directors, and
James V. Bennett, u. S. director of
prisons, Warren was to meet Mon
day with an advisory committee he
has asked to help draft actual bills
on prison affairs he will sponsor
Meanwhile, there was no immed-
late continuation for reports that
legislative blocs in both houses
were being organized to oppose the
legislation.
Bennet was quoted by governors
secretaries as having told Warren
he approved of his prison policies.
The federal prison director was
said to believe that with "a little
more refinement" Warren's present
ideas on legislation could be made
the basis Of 'an outstanding prison
system"
Warren is said to favor a prison
reform plan abolishing or taking
all but nominal authority away
from the board OF prison directors,
the board OF terms and paroles and
the advisory pardon board.
Duties Of the boards would be
divided between board of adult
correction and a single director Of
corrections.

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

A psychiarist recently voiced
warning that every wife with hUs-
band overseas should think about
long time.
He said that loss of tolerance"
rather than loss of affection would
be the problem most likely to con-
front the thousands Of couples sep
arated for a long period of time
by the war.
If Mrs. Smith, whose husband
has been out of the country for two
years, will analyze her own feelings
and attitudes she will understand
the wisdom of that observation.
She has thought and worried
about her husband so constantly
and built such wonderful pictures
of what life will be when he returns
that she is out of touch with
reality She now thinks of a re-
union with her husband as an an
sWer to all her problems, as an end
to all unhappiness and insecurity.
Her husband feels the same way.
He has been away from his wife
and home long enough to romanti-
ciZe both.
But when the Smiths are back
together again and trying to pick
up the thread of their marriage
where it was broken by war, they
are bound to find life full of COM
plieations and problems.
And, because they have counted
on perfect happiness as their re-
ward for all their loneliness-they
are likely to be baffled and hurt,
instead Of patient, understanding,
and tolerant
They are, that is, unless both
make themselves face the truth of
the psychiatrist's warning and
prepare themselves for a period of
readjustment-inst of blissfully
expecting a perfect mate and a
perfect marriage.
