$3.50 900 100000, and at the same
time reducing the cabaret tax from
80 to 20 per cent, was approved
finally by Congress today and sent

The measure clears a legal path
for the opening June II of the $16,-

The night club tax was tackled on
the debt ceiling bill by the Senate
but another Senate provision-ex-
empting service men and women
from payment of the levy-was
erased
The legislation went to the White
House, as the House approved, 172
to 54, an agreement reached by a
Senate-House conference commit
tee. The Senate adopted the agree
ment yesterday.
The Nations debt now is approx
imately $4,000 100000. It was $40

The newspaper said Sweden would
continue to export bearings to Ger
many in the same quantities as re-
quired in contracts but they would
be OF different dimensions. This
was interpreted to mean the Swedes

Lehman Tells People
Of Conquered Nations
Supplies Are Near
UNRRA Director Speaks
Over Short Wove Of OWL:
Pledges Food, Medicine
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

AS Allied forces advanced in
France, Herbert H. Lehman, di-
rector general of the United Ma
tions Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration, promised the
Nazi-enslaved peoples of Europe
by radio today that long-needed
supplies of food and medicine are
on the way.
The former New York Governor
broadcast his message through the
short-wave radio facilities of the
Office OF War Information.
Although his message was one of
cheer, he warned the peoples of
Europe not to expect "quick appear
ance of full peacetime stocks" of the
things they needed, pointing out the
difficulties of transport that stood
in the way of relief.
Liberation Has Begun"
Liberation has begun" Mr.. Leh-
man said. "Our attention today and
in the days just ahead will continue
fixed on the battle-ground. There
the men of the United Nations give
their blood so that you may once
again be free. All our prayers, all
our thoughts, are now with the
fighting men whose courage and
skill and equipment will decide the
issue.
Even as the tidal wave of armed
retribution sweeps the tyrants into
history's hall of infamy, the second
phase of liberation proceeds. This
is the brining of relief to the freed
peoples. In the train of the United
Nations armies will come the neces-
sites of daily life"
Following military success, Mr..
Lehman said, the United Nations
will be prepared "to help you take
the next step on the road to free
DOM" He said he knew that they
desire to become self-sustaining and
self-determining and that the peo-
Pile of the United Nations who had
escaped invasion respected and
shared their desire.
Relief Assured.
"UNRRA has laid the plans for
giving you lift along the road
to a secure and free life," he said.
UNRRA, he continued, is already
making plans to restore health
services, provide needed food and
aid in reuniting broken families.
This task, he added, will not be
too easy. The worlds supply of
food and clothing, seed, tools and
medicines have all been depleted
by four years of war and there is
"a scarcity of transportation.
But" he assured the people of
the occupied countries, you can
depend upon the determination of
your fellows of the free world that
all the goods and services possible
will be made available and fairly
shared; that the free nations will
act together in binding up the
wounds of war as they are acting
together in waging successful war"

clared in his mass meeting speech:
You'll agree that the man at the

air and doesn't get it has a real
