appeared TO be indicated this
week when by splitting the pro-
ject into two sections and read

Harper has accepted bids of
the Meredith Company, on Sec

by soldier stationed behind the Maginot Line.
 Mallakuais, in his tersee ntries, re- veals himself as sensitive, cynical observer, a man at odds with fellow men so cOarsened by war that he cannot regard them as his fellows a poet in 8 pig Sty. The book is filled with swiftly drawn thumbnail portraits of the men he slowly be- comes accustomed-o inured-to.
 When the long awaited action, after months of laboring at build ing concrete Notifications, comes, 1t is swift and overwhelming. The author gives an unforgettable pic- tIlre of roads clogged with retreat- ing, weary. and starving soldiers, prisoners being herded across the line to Germany. The narrative finds cohesion when Malakuais and friend decide to strike out for freedom and survive a number of narrow escapes.
 LEND-LEASE LOWDOWN
 HOW lend-lease came into being, II what 1t is, how it works, it's development and future is honestly and ably told by Edward R. Stet- tinius, Jr., in ''Lend-LeaSe-Weapon for Victory" (MacMillan: $3).
 We in the United States watched the war spread over the world with curiously divided minds. Our neutrality acts and trade barriers prevented us to great extent from assisting any of the nations in- volved in war. Solution of this prob. lem is the story of lend-lease.
 While the story is non fiction, 1t is told in style that should make very interesting informative read ing for those interested in our government and its future foreign policies.

Frank W. Kraemer, Acting Collec- tor of Internal Revenue, gave tax payers in this district a tip today on how to prepare for filling out their 1943 individual income and victory tax returns.
 MT. Kraemer said the first thing to do is to collect certain key figures so that you will have them handy. These figures should be prepared beforehand whether you are filling in your own return or are going to a deputy collector or other qualified person for assistance.
 The figures, and where to get them are:
 1. Total wages and other pay earned in 1943-from the receipt Con Form W-2) given you by your employer.
 2. Total income tax and victory tax withheld from your wages n l943-from the same receipt.
 3. The total amount of your 1922 income tax-from the statement Con Form 1125) mailed you by the Collector.
 4. The amount you paid on your 1922 income taX-alSo from the Collectors statement.
 5. The amount you paid, if any, in September or December on a declaration of estimated tax" - from cancelled checks, receipts, etc., or from your copy of the declaration.
 6. The amount of any other tax able income (beside wages and other pay) you had in 1943 such as inter est, dividends and annuities - from passbooks, personal records, letters or other sources.
 T. Your social security number (if any) - this number is requested on your return only as supple mentary means of Identification, and has no other relation to the social security system.
 The above items are the key f1g- ures you need for filling in either short form 1040 A or long form 1040. However, if you are using the long form, you may also need additional figures including:
 l. An itemized list of the deduc- tions you claim for contributions, interest, taxes, casualties and medi- cal expenses.
 2. Detailed figures on income from rents, royalties, the sale or ex- change of securities and other prop erty, profit and loss from business or profession, etc.
 These lists are not all-inclusive. Omitted are obvious items such as your name and address, names of dependents. name of employer. Other items which should be secured beforehand include specialized types

Allies Naval Invasion Chief Has Special Grudge For Hitler
WAR HAS CHEATED ADMIRAL RAMSAY OF FIVE YEARS OF RIDING AND HUNTING IN NATIVE SCOTLAND

You might assume that an of- ficer with record would be a figure well known by the average EngliShman. The fact, however, is that he's one of the least publicized men in the British forces. Essen- tially a shy person, he's known by comparatively few men even within the services. Many officers who have served with him can contribute a stroke here and a stroke there, but few can paint the full portrait. There are, however three points on which all who know him are agreed:
 First, he is a man who knows ex- actly what he wants and who knows exactly how to get it. He pays immense attention to detail. Men who worked with him at the time of Dunkirk were constantly amazed at his grasp of small de- tails as well as of main outlines of operation. Based on this knowl- edge, he made decisions instantly And hundreds of Allied troops today owe their freedom and pos Sibly their lives to Admiral Ram says bold decision to send des- troyers back to Dunkirk on the last night when many thought such a trip was suicide.
 WORKS THROUGH STAFF
 His devotion to detail, his col leagues agree, has been the secret of the success of the combined op- erationS he has planned. Essen tially a staff officer today, he picks with infinite care the men who work with him. He expects this staff to produce. In the words o1 one junior officer, "He doesn't Suf- fer fools gladly" One gathers that Admiral Ramsay is bad person tc cross.
 Having chosen his staff, Bertie Ramsay works through it. His sub- ordinates draw up memoranda which he then coordinates into ar approved plan. He expresses him. self with amazing speed and clar- ity on paper.
 The second point on which al A1A oC4 VI cb4AA D NOA1Cd6 UCo cS1CC "A that he is a strict disciplinarian He believes that it won't be done right in battle if it isn't done right every time during practice. Once Admiral Ramsay, then command ing at sea, offered friend bot tie of champagne if the friend could find two faults with his ship Personally immaculate, he expects his officers to be likewise.
 A ONE-CLUB GOLFER
 Thirdly, all who know him say that he is in incredibly good phys ical condition. At 65 he is in better shape than men half his age. He loves golf and used to take one club and play a few holes at Dover even after the golf course had been torn up and criss-crossec with barbed wire as an invasion precaution. Even during the Dun- kirk operation he insisted on talk ing an hour off in the afternoon for a walk.
 But Bertie Ramsay's first loves are riding and shooting. He longs to get back to them, and to his country estate in Scotland. This longing bodes no good for Adolf Hitler.

chosen Supreme Commander of the Allied Navies for the second front. Behind his selection lies one out standing factor: he probably has had more experience in combined operations than any other navy of ficer in the world.
 "Bertie Ramsay" as the admiral is known throughout the Royal Navy, got his combined operations baptism early in this century when he took part in the British landing in Somaliland. The major part of such experience, however, was re- served for after his recall from re-

tirment shortly after Munich. As Naval Commander-in-Chief at Dover in 194O, Ramsay was respon- sible for the evacuation from Dun- kirk. For his magnificent direction of this operation, he was made Knight Commander of the Bath. Then, in 1943, as chief staff officer to Admiral Cunningham, Naval Commander-in- Chief in the Med- iterranean, Admiral Ramsay plan ned the largest amphibious opera tions in history-against Sicily and Italy.

 Sigrid Schultz was in Germany in 1914 when the Kaiser called his people to war. She remained there -aS an enemy alien after the Unit ed States entered the first World War-until 1941, when she returned to this country. She saw Germany planning for the second World War while we were still busy shipping milk, foodstuffS and clothes to un- derprivileged Germans" before the Versailles treaty was signed.
 Germany has prepared for "aIl eventualities = even defeat. Even now, Germany is preparing to fight again, in case she loses this war, an eventuality that most of the higher German officials now realize as sure to occur.
 She quotes a German officers statement in Paris on July Is, 1943: Peace? There will be no peace anywhere in the world after the guns cease firing j. the battle of the fifth columns will follow the battles of tanks and armored cars" The officer cited work going on in South America which he expected to bring lasting victories to Ger many.
 "Our resistance can be effective only if we keep our own defenseSs strong, if we buttress those defenseS with 8 militant democracy, con- tinually improving our internal poli- tical, economic and social conditions . I. .," she says.

Germany showed it. self capable of taking care of it. self after the last war-in fact it prepared for another even before the guns had fifuratively cooled. THAT BARRYMORE!
 A FABULOUS book about the A fabulous John Barrymore has just come of the presses, and if you like to read about screwballs and theatrical reminiscence as we do, it's our advice that you go right out and beg, borrow or buy a copy of Good Night, Sweet Prince" (Viking: $350).

From the child hood of John, Lionel and Ethel when their prayers ended on the note: ''Please, God, make Uncle Jack (John Drew) 8 good actor" through the early years of Jhons success when the matinee idol looked lige an Adonis on the stage and 8 Bowery bum on the street; through his many romances and marriages.
