Nor is there any reason to hope
that the supply will become SUBJ

armed forces facing shortage.
HALF-TRU THS

armed forces facing a shortage.
HALF-TRUTHS
I have talked with many experts
about the situation, in an effort to
clear up the general misunder-
standing that has been bred by
lack of frankness on the part OF
governmental sources. It is not
possible even now to tell the whole
story, but enough figures do lie
in the public domain to support
certain cancellations.
1t was true also, as we were
told next. that gasoline rationing
was the best-and probably h e
only effective-way of controlling
the use of trees and thereby con-
serving transportation machinery
at a time when there was not
enough rubber to replace nones-
sential tires.
But these were only half-truths.
1t was true also that even this
nations gigantic capacity for pro-
ducing and refining petroleum is
not sufficient to supply war needs
and simultaneously permit us to
drive to the golf course, to bridge
parties, to picnic spots and bath
ing beaches.
We thought that there was
plenty of gasoline because, when
we went to war, our wells were
capped to prevent over-production,
and our refinery capacity appeared
more than ample.
FULL CAPACITY
When the Japs struck at Pearl
Harbor our petroleum industry
was easing along at about IS per
cent of capacity. Existing wells
could have flowed 1,750,000,000
barrels, but in 1941. with use
stimulated by pre-belligerency
activities. we turned out only
1,476, 100000 barrels. Gradually
output was stepped up. Last year
it amounted to 1.568,000000 bar
rels. The week ended April 8,
1914, production attained apprtzi-
mately full capacity, at the rate
of 1,642,OOO,0oO barrels year.
This full production "a t e is
more than 10O,OoO,Ooo barrels
year below the pre-Pearl Harbor
potential. Why? Because the wells
have declined in production capa-
city in the intervening years. The
falling off would have been even
greater if several important dis
coveries of new sources had not
been made during that time.
In 1913, for example, while we
were taking 1885, 100000 barrels
out of the ground, geo-physiclsts
known. They did not
quite hold their own.
Current production is far above
pre-war use. But from it there has
to come $50, 100000 barrels year
for military and Lend-Lease use,
which cuts the amount available
On the home front to just under
,O0O,O00,OOO barrels. That is about
IS per cent of actual pre-War US
age.
From this "civilian'' allowance.
essential users must be served
first. Trucks hauling raw mate
rial and manufactured goods,
whether for war factories or to
supply civilian needs, probably are
usng more gasoline now than be-
fore the war. Buses must operate,
and diesel locomotives; plants fuel
ed with oil must be serviced; farm
ers must operate tractors, harves-
tiers, farm trucks.
SCARCELY ENOUGH
These and similar users cannot
be held to the same ratio as house
wives, vacationers and tourists. BY
the time they have been served,
there isn't any IS per cent Of pre-
war demand left for nonessential

5000 WACS
 NOW OVERSEAS
1000 in Africa, $50 in Italy and Remainder
 in England

Returning from a 2o00O mile in- spection tour in England, North Af- rica and Italy, Col. Hobby, director of the Women'S Army Corps, pre- dicted that during the invasion "the WAC will go in as soon as lines are established and field units set up"
 'In shifts of personnel between theaters of war, commanding gen. erals have taken their WAC along. General Eisenhower brought as part of his team from Africa, seven WACs, three of them in highly con- fidential positions and the rest clerical"
 Col. Hobby stated that of the 5000 WACs overseas, 1000 are in Africa, $50 in Italy and the rest in England. Describing their health as wonderful and their morale as high, she declared: T didn't see one who wanted to some home un- til it was over, not a one"
 The director said that WACs over- seas were pleased that WAC recruit ing was on the upswing.
 In her report, Col. Hobby also de- clarde: England: WACs in Eng land are scattered quite broadly. In

 we have not enough wACs in England yet; there are still British women serving with our American troops"
 North Africa: I just happened into Algiers on January 18th, the first anniversary of the arrival of the first WACs in North Africa. The 200o there have done so well that there are many requests for more. The record of a years per formane on overceas duty is the best evidence Or how worthwhile the WAC Is to the Army.
 "Italy: In the forward field head quarters of the Fifth Army, I visited a camouflaged trainer, all manned by women who were running the entire telephonic operations. The nurses, of course were much closer up-our girls were not in the range of the guns. The rest of the WACs attached to the Fifth Army were back in the next headquarters do- ing paper jobs.

Those who are moved to pro-
 fanity because of the complicated tax form they are required to i'll out between now and March 18th should remember that the form was not designedly made complicated to annoy you, but 1t intricacy is due to the Topsy like growth of our tax legislation" declares Henry H. Hei- man, executive manager on leave of the National Association of Credit Men, in his Monthly Bus mess Review published today. MT. Heimann points out that this na- tion has never had direct scienti- fic tax bill, but that it now has a prospect of at least making start
 towards some basic information on the matter of Federal taxation.
 There is introduced in. Congress a. joint resolution (H. J. Res. 21D which, if it becomes law, will eS- MT. Heimann points out. This reso- Ilution provides that such a commis- tablish a Federal Tax Commission" sion shall be composed of 15 mem bers, of whom are to be members of the Committee on Finance of the Senate, two from the majority and two from the minority party; four members from the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, two from the majority and two from the min Iority party; and seven members
 (none of whom holds any office in lthe government of the United IStates Or is engaged in the activi- Ities of any political party) to be lchosen by the chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation, one to Ire present each of the following groups: labor, business, agriculture, individual taxpayers, tax account 'ants, tax lawyers and tax econo- mists. Members are to serve with |lout compensation but funds are provided for adequate hearings, clerical forces, secretaries, etc. The objective is to labor and bring forth a real simplified equitable sci- entif1c tax bill.
 "As has been frequently stated such 8 tax bill has been a crying heed for years. You will do your country a real service if you write your Representatives and Senators urging the passage of this resolu- tion, and I am sure you will resolve to do so before you have read two paragraphs of the jig-saw puzzle you must construct before March 18th"
 MT. Heimann devotes a part of his Monthly Business Review to the increasing number of exchange charges being made by smaller state banks for the collection of checks. Bank checks constitute the prin- Heimann points out "In fact, the cipal currency of our country Mir ratio of bank checks in use to ac- tual currency is better than ten to one. You wouldn't like to hand man to whom you owed a dollar, a dollar bill and have him tell you he could only credit your account with 99 cents. You would indignantly ask
