 Speaking of Suffield, I see that someone else has turned that way.
 Maybe some of you G.I.s can tell me why the very nice Miss "M. Patterson" walks home alone !? Reason: His APO. number. has been received.

CONTROL BOARD
By SGT. FRED COUNSEL

The past several weeks have been anything but a circus for S/Sgt. Johnson. After spending time in the hospital he returns to crack his whip at the cages of wild wolves in 1042. He claims the secret of control is in the approach and if a wolf is thrown passes three times daily his manner be- comes docile and even domesticat- ed.
 In this cage We find the dark submissive lion, Sgt. Scricca. Hab- fiat: Hartford and vicinity. Haunts: East Hartford. Feeds on K rations and love. He knows a few tricks but sometimes reverts to wild pacing state and can't be control led. His type is almost extinct.
 This cage-ladies and gentlemen is lightly constructed and mer- ely serves as a garage and sleep ing quarters for that well-known jeep artist Pfc. Lavalley. He feeds on cars and floats through the air with the greatest. -.
 On the left we find a red sable of fine pedigree. Children enjoy watching the antics of this accom- plished animal. He can play the piano, compose, dance and grim ace. He isn't nearly as wild as he appears, but on the other hand, he is unpredictable when girl called "Jackie" strokes his locks. Pvt. Nc Michel shouldn't really be caged.
 Pvt. Ed Wallen, the Kentucky cougar, never attempts to escape from his cage. He is easily trained if allowed to ponder over maps at least once a day. Unfortunately though, he sleeps on a low bunk and this trait doesn't carry out the cougar desire for trees-but perhaps he's becoming acclimated in his seventh month of captivity.
 Sgt. "Busy Beaver" Stokes is growing in bouncing cuteness and girls just can't let him alone. His fur is not naturally short, rather it's been rubbed off from hard work. Lately he's been eyeing some greener fields for a new product. Who knows, he may be keeping some blonde warm next winter (beaver coat). Tommy has free dom of the area because he would only chew his way out of eny en- closures.
 Cpl. Singer, the seal, entertains everyone with his balancing tricks and can be flip a mean flipper in appreciation when his trainer throws him a fish! Of course his nose gets sore-but yours would, too, if you had to perform such diff ficult tricks.
 Over in the center ring We see one of the greatest horsemen of last week, Sgt. Augustine. He has been on a horse just once-with wifey, and discovered, only too late, the mare was high-strung and skittish. Augustine did "hep two three four" into her ribs and up she went and off he went. Poor Augustine-poor wifey-they are still nursing their bruises! Better luck next Sunday Sarge" Perhaps tickling the worries would be safer than tickling the horses.
 | T/Sgt. Van Fleet thinks a job with the circus (after the war) would be a good deal. A circus needs a good (radio) man and be- sides he can learn a few aerial tricks from the trapeze girls (if his wife doesn't object).

Simplified Tax Bill Approved
By Ways & Means Committee

Washington - Responding to
national clamor against the in
tricacy of taxation, the House
Ways and Means Committee ap-
proved this week tax simplifi-
cation bill to make it unnecessary
for 100000 of the 100000 in
dividual taxpayers ever to file
another income tax return.
Committee Chairman Doughton
| (D-NC), said he would introduce
the legislation to the House Mon
day-with the view to putting it
on the statute books before Con-
gresS recesses in June for the ma
tional Democratic and Republic
can conventions.
If enacted by Congress, the
painless tax" measure would:
l. Eliminate the victory tax and
set new normal and surtax rates
and exemptions while keeping
actual tax burdens near their pres
ent levels.
2, Revise completely the with
holding system against wages and
salaries, effective next January 1,
to deduct from wage envelopes
and salary checks the full tax
liability of persons earning up to
SIS, OOO-thus relieving the 100000
600 from the necessity of compu-
ting income tax returns.
8. Of the 100000 who still
would have to file returns. TO-
100000 showing their entire tax,
and the others would fill out re-
turns in more detail but SIMPLER
than the present long form.
The new rates would apply to
final 1914 tax reports, due next
March Is, but the revised with
holding system would not begin
until 1945.
The revisions would mean
larger withholdings for most
persons, but Doughton empha-
sized that Increased withholding
is not increased tax burden.
Withholding is not taxation but
method of collecting taxes

FOOD is SCARCE IN
RUSSIA, OFFICIALS SAY

Washington - American food
authorities said this week Russia s
food supply situation still is very
poor despite the recent opening OF
a number of unrationed food
stores in Moscow and other Rus
sian cities.
War Food Administration Off
Gals who handle lend-lease ship
ments of American food to Russia
said the prices charged in the I'M
rationed stores were reputedly
many times those charged by the
regular, rationed sources of food
in Russia, so that only those con-
sumers with wealth could afford
to patronize them.
Because of these limited factors,
relatively small quantities of food
were said to be required to keep
such stores stocked.
100000 men under rs now defer
red, of whom he estimates 600,-
600 would pass induction physi-
