A captured japanese portable

against American troops on Corregi-
dor after the battle of Bataan in
the Philippines will be on display in
the weapons of war" exhibit, which
opens in Potomac Park May %,
under auspices of the Army Service

Alongside it, for comparison, the
Chemical Warfare Service will ex-
hibit an American f1amethrower, the
MAI model, somewhat similar, but
sturdier weapon and of better
quality.
The Jap weapon has range of
about Is yards with fuel oil and is
capable of a continuous discharge
lasting 10 to II seconds. Using
Diesel oil, the American weapon has
the same range but with a new
thickened fuel its range is much
greater. It's fuel tank is larger also,

Chiefs Of Staff Call

From Elk Hills Vital
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Military heads have informed
Congress that a quadruple eXpan-
sion O: the oil output from the Elk
Hills reserve in California is i'm
Iperative" because of the Pacific war
The information from the joint
chiefs of staff was relayed to the
House Naval Affairs Committee yes
terday by Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Bard. His chief, Secretary
James V. Forrestal, also termed the
expansion vital"
The armed forces want to jump
the Elk Hills output from its current
$4,000 barrels day to $1,000 barrels
and also seek authority to take 30
100000 barrels from the reserve by
the end of next year.
Most of the expansion is con-
templated to step up the high oc-
tame gasoline supply which is under
going the drain of mighty air battles
in Europe and rapidly growing at
tention to the Pacific fronts.
The subject came up when the
Naval Affairs Committee took up a
bill the late Secretary Knox worked
out to meet objections to the origi-
nal contract with Standard Oil for
development of the Elk Hills re-

Chairman Vinson announced he
was "unalterably opposed" to the
new version, contending it would
allow the Navy and Standard Oil to
work the field together, passing

He suggested amendments which

This country faces very real
problem in seeking types of post
war public works potentially re-
generative in character and which
at the same time are in fields un-
attractive for private capital and
enterprise. We will face in the
postwar years the task of SER
vicing and eventually liquidating
debt at least six times as large
as existed during the public works
program of the thirties. This
situation poses entirely new, COM
pick and momentous problems.
Public moneys are derived from
taxation and taxes have their
source in private property and
private and corporate incomes.
When government expenditures
take place in fields adapted to
and attractive for private enter
prise there are two results. First,
a reduction in the earnings of pri-
vite business and thus its inability
to pay taxes and second, the
scope of enterprises which enjoy
tax freedom is enlarged. I'm
fortunately, hte effect is cumula-
tive. Tax freedom at present tax
alton rates creates an advantage
absolutely impossible for private
business to offset. Carried to
its ultimate conclusion this process
