POSTWAR TAXES

Legislatures of IA States in recent years have
pettioned Congress to initiate amendment to the
Constitution which would limit maximum tax rates
on all incomes estates and gifts to rs percent Only
in wartime would Congress be permitted-by three
fourths vote of both houses-to exceed this limit.
These demands coupled by requests from lndl-
yiduals have caused the Treasury Departments Di-
vision of Tax Research to issue memorandum which
deserves discussion.
The Treasury experts have presented figures
which are calculated to end once and for all the
belief by many that the end of the war will bring
reductions in Federal taxes.
Briefly these experts estimate that the proposed
25 percent limitation, alone. would mean revenue
loss of about six billion dollars year.
In addition, they point out that even with high
level of employment, income payments and income
tax receipts will decline after the war because OF
reduction in overtime work and Rehabilitation of war
industries.
They estimate that the basis of the present
tax system after doing away with the excess profits
tax and allowing for automatic reductions in wartime
excise taxes postwar revenue would amount to about

SABBATH KEPT FDR's SECRET

Out of the dozens of Congress
men who tried to pry loose Roo
sevelt's carefully kept secret re-
garding fourth term, one man
who really knew, but kept the Sc
cret, was his close friend, Repre-
sentative Adolph SABBATH of Chi
cago.
The Czech-born veteran Con-
gresham, head of the powerful
Rules Committee, had two talks
with Roosevelt about running
again. AT the first, last winter, the
President was an enigma. But
during the second talk, in May
SABBATH got clear indication that
the President would run.
We've got to have someone who
can sit down with Churchill and
Stain and keep up the power and
prestige of the U.S.A.," SABBATH
told him. You're the only man
who can do that"
Roosevelt, in reply, agreed to
think it over, indicating the an
swer would be yes.
SABBATH never let the secret out

with terrific speed. {Total time
from the bombs launching until
the time it hits London is estimat-
ed at 10 minutes.
If they knock the bomb down
over London, it explodes with just
as much damage as if they had let
it alone, so there is only one place
to go after it-over the Channel.
Once a robot escapes the fight
ers and passes over London, anti
aircraft fire is stopped and the
only thing to do is to let the bomb
take its course and explode wher-
ever it hits.
Furthermore, it is not easy TO
knock down robot over the Chan
mel. Gunfire must strike its nose in
order to explode it. A cannon ball
in the body of the robot plane, how
ever, will usually knock it out. Some
intrepid fighters have flown up
very close-the robot cannot fire
back-and tipped up its wing with
the wing of the fighter. When the
robots wing is tipped more than
As degrees, the gyroscope which
keeps it on balance fails to func-
ton and the robot goes into a
dive.
If the fighter is too close when
a robot explodes in the air, the
repercussion is so great that the
fighter sometimes is knocked tC
pieces.
Bombing the robot launching
platforms is also extremely diff
cult because they are protected
with tons of concrete. About the
only way to blow them up is tt
place a bomb squarely in the mouth
of the launching platform. How

WrangeII Woman
Is Appointed 10
Army Department

WASHINGTON, July 25. The
War Department announces the APP
pointmeIlt of Miss Carol NJ Fergu-
son, of Wrangell, Alaska, as a
physical therapy aide in the Medical
Department of the Army with the
relative rank of second lieutenant.
She completed her training for
this work at Valley Forge General
Hospital, Phoenixville, Pennsyl-
vania.
She will be assigned to duty with
the Army in hospitals in either this
country or overseas. Like other
physical therapy aides, many of the
patients she will treat viii be war
wounded, evacuated from overseas.
Many of the soldiers suffering from
amputations, fractures, burns, and
nerve injuries require treatment by
physical therapy consisting of ex-
ercise, massage, and various forms
of heat and electricity, which sup
plement medicine and surgery to
effect the cure.
A large share of the physical
therapist's work is devoted to teach
ing the patient to cooperate in the
treatment, to bring about his own
improvement. Physical therapists
must also teach soldiers to adjust
their mental attitudes SO that they
may return to civilian life with
courage and a determination to
make the best of any physical
disability.
Hundreds of physical therapy
aides are needed to carry on this
work, even into the post war era.
Those interested may write Major

Therapy Aides, the Surgeon Gen

 His mother must have set the water-pot down upon her robes hem, for as she rose hastily the half-emptied vessel fell over, spill ing it's sweet water on the loose brown earth she has been working around the roots of the newly plant ed acacia.
 With that sweet little stagger that iS the prerequisite of very young legs obeying the command to walk, the baby reached the water where ,tlaeh acacia and the earth drank slowly.

The wa ter squeezed from under him and drew together in puddle and Dan disregarded the reproof and patted it approYingly.
 Michael saw him without seem- ing to look at him, then shut him from her mind determinedly as she turned to face the men who stood with drawn swords in the center of her courtyard. Her lovely face was serene and belied the wild fear within that echoed JoePs re- breaches of the past months.
 Drusus, the leader, was no strang- CT to her and it vas to him that she addressed herself.
 Why hast thou come with wit nesses to. call upon n.e?"
 FAMILIAR as he was with the I slender figure before him, yet the Roman captain had been halted by the dear grace cf her, and If his followers had crowded closer to view her lips that were redder than the reddeSt seeds of pomegranateS from Ascalon, he would have un- derstood their eagerness.

If you don't see it don't ask for it." is the unspoken rule among local retailers this year who report an accelerated and heavy Christmas shopping campaign by local con- sumers at this date, resulting in a depletion of some stocks and crisp, brisk trading in almost every time of retail ablishment.
 As reported recently it has been stated nationally that retail sales for October, November and Decem- Der are expected to be almost ten per cent greater than for the same months year ago.
 Uneven distribution has cut into the trades of some stores resulting in low stocks on certain items in one establishment with a sufhciency in the same items in another store. The balance has worked out fairly well here it has been reported, how ever.
 Luxuries were greatly in demand here, for gifts, resulting in a quick turnover on such items as furs, ex- pensive jewelry with demond also for grand pianos and spinets.
 Parents generally complained at thre prevalence of wooden and card- board toys-yet bought them rather than disappoint the youngsters. Secondhand metal tricycles and wagons and the like were being bought up at secondhand retail dealers.
 Local retailers praised the pa- tience and forebearance and partic-, ularly "the good-nature" of most of the consumers who are' reported showing a splendid cooperativeness
