REsCuING THE COOK

Upon arriving at the exclusive winter colony, he was met by Mrs. Wasey, aunt of Comdr. Wasey Mrs. Wasey, who was to be hostess fM the house party, was wringing her hands. Her cook was sick - hernia trouble and without a cook, she couldn't have a party.
 This was a terrific blow to Capt. Slattery. He was planning to enter tain not only his chief, Admiral Davidson, but Admiral Mitscher, "Jocko" Clark, Charles Powell and Felix Stump. Quite clam-bak
 When It. Terrill flew back to Banana River and broke the news to Capt. Slattery, the good Captain was so heartbroken that he sent rerrill on special flight to Jack sonville, l60 miles away, to tell Admiral Davidson all about it. The report to Davidson lasted just two minutes. Why he couldn't have telephoned, only Capt. Slattery knows.
 Undaunted, the Captain next day sent another special plane, along with his personal aide, It. Sowels to Cat Cay, to pick up the cook, who was flown direct to the Coast Guard base at Miami. despite the fact that the base had been closed down to transient planes. From there the cook was taken to a Miami hospital.
 Weary It. Sowles then returned to Banana River.
 Despite these heroic efforts, how ever, the party had to be called off With no cook, the Admirals missed the "cla m bake" eMan- while, junior officers and enlisted

HOROSCOPE 'The st0rs incline
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25

Adverse planetary influences are active today which should DC a time of careful procedure. There may be much wrong thinking under this Configuration which encourages criticism and faultiinding.
 HEART AND HOME
 After the excitement of family re- unions there may come depressing reactions. The stars presage rest .lessness and discontent affecting re- turned Service men and women while the home folk are concerned and anxious. Happy days will come again next month and the holi- days will bring general healing, it lis predicted.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Sweeping economies in Federal Government expenditures will en- courage cities and counties to cut expenses also. Tn peacetime recon struction the trend toward careful spending of public funds should be strcng Little danger of imitation is foreseen.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Road building will be of. special concern and will furnish work for many men before the Winter halts needed repairs. Whatever promises most for the public good will be given support this year by the vot- CTS.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Occupation of Japan by the United Nations representatives under the administration of General MacAr- thur will be of long duration, the stars indicate. Constant vigilance will be necessary if treachery is to be forestalled. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of relative illustration which may ultimately prove fortunate.
 Children born on this day pro- bably will be of strong character and inclined to dominate. They should be extremely talented.

ADMuRAL's CLAM BAKE

While the plane was i'll the air, Capt. Slattery hit the ceiling be- cause Lt Courier didn't have any charts along and because some of the life jackets were dirty. Courier knew the islands backward and forward but the Captain demanded that he fly back to Banana River, returning later with charts, new fe-jackets, plus non-flying com missioned officer navigator.
 On Sept. 26, It. H. K Sowles, personal aide to Capt Slattery, took off in a brand new plane, Buno 592l2, plus two pilots, It. Donald M. Armstrong and Ensign Royal E. Livingston, and special navigator, Ensign Louis J. Hayes, Jr., plus a crew of six They burnt 500 more gallons of high-octane, kept another emergency plane warming up, and tied up several ramps waiting for the iunketing plane to return.
 But Admiral Davidson and Capt Slattery had marvellous time.
 This, however. was only the be- ginning. The Annapolis boys next got busy arranging for big week. end at Cat Cay. RON's or Re maining Overnight flights were still forbidden by the Captain, but on Oct. II he sent It. William Terrill, who is in charge of the Banana River Officers Club, on a flight to Cat Gay to prepare for a big party. Terrill flew in a special PBM, taking It. Courier as pilot.

BOMB SECRET BURNS

Soviet Newsman Boris N. Krylov sat in the hearing-room of the Kilgore- -Magnuson Senate Commit tee He was scribbling furiously
 The atom bomb" Dr. J. R. Op- penheimer, Los Alamos scientist, was talking, lis the $2,000, 100000 straw that may break the camel's back. It comes to a world already at the breaking point so far as weapons are concerned. The atom bomb actually weakens our posi- tion because we are particularly vulnerable to this type of attack. .
 Soviet Newsman Krylov scrubbed on. Scientist Oppenheimer con- tinued talking.
 Secrecy is not possible" con- tinued Oppenheimer. The nature of the world is not secret. You cannot keep the atom secret.

Recommend Sales
Tax Changes

Collection Of $11o. 269. 4965s or $50
OF the total Of all state revenues
during the fiscal year ending June
80. 1914 was reported by Louis M.
Minis, State Revenue Commission
er, In the. third annual report of the
Michigan Department Of Revenue
which was submitted today to Gov
ernor Kelly. The sales tax was the
lsrgest producer, yielding $91,072,-
273.52 for this total.
The report also discloses that the
cost Of collection had again de-
creased slightly under the consoli-
dated revenue department, the cost
per $4,000 Of revenue being s1.14
as compared with $116 last year
and with $50 in 194l, the last full
year prior to the adoption Of the
Department of Revenue Act which
combined various tar collecting
agencies under one department. It
also reports that the number OF en-
ployees has been decreased from q
total of 395 in 1871 to 406 in Sep
TENDER. 1914, despite the increase in
collections.
One Of the features Of the report
IS a separate chapter devoted to
recommendations to the Governor
and members of the Legislature. The
act under which the department Is
organized provides that such recon-
mendations shall be made and this
year they have been incorporated
and made public in the report. The
most important of these recon-
mendations relate to the Sales Tax
and Intangibles Tax statutes. With
respect 70 the sales tax the depart
ment strongly urges that the terms
industrial processing. agricultural
producing and commercial advertis-
ing" now used in the statute be
clarified by complete definitions,
pointing out that the majority of
litigation involves the Interpretation
of these terms and therefore causes
needless expense to both the state
and taxpayer. Amendments are also
advocated to put more teeth into
the requirement that sales taxpayers
be required to keep adequate records
and to abolish the annual return
now required as needless duplica-
ton Of monthly returns.
The department adds It's support
TO the critics of the present Intangi-
bles Tax Act and recommends q
complete overhauling of this statute.
1t states that the act cannot be de-
Tended in is present form We
therefore recommend that the pres
ent act be completely revised or en-
tirely repealed. If revision cannot be
accomplished satisfactorily then the
alternative Of repeal should be as-
proved and the taxation of intangi-
bleS be placed again In the hands
Of local assessing officers"

New York, Feb. 17-CUP)-Pa- tience finally will pay off when three previous also-rans go to the post tonight in the 34th running of the Baxter mile, feature of the New York A. c. indoor track meet at Madison Square Garden.
 Jim Rafferty of the host clup' former Dartmouth star, Don Burn ham and Rudy SimmS of N. Y. U. compose the emaciated field in what may be their last chance for a mile triumph before the expected Gunder Hagg of Sweden arrives and takes over control of the eight -furlong gallop.
 Rafferty, winner of three. indoor miles this season with top time of 4:13.1, is favored to win this event. But Burnham, former IC4A and Ivy league champion now a Naval medical student making his first mile start of the season, may extend him. Simms has been sec ond to Rafferty twice this winter It would be the first win in this event for any one of them as all three have been second respectiVly the past three years.
 Another feature of the 2O-event program is the Buermeyer 500 bringing together Jimmy Herbert former NYU star and three-tlme winner Elmore Harris, national 440 champion; Herb McKenley of Bos- ton and George Guida of Sampson Navy.

Tunney ToIks Of Post-Wor Sports

Guam, Feb IT - CUPD - The armed forces, faced with the prob lem of keeping fighting men happy between the time the war ends and thir discharge from service, are planning comprehensive athletic facilities for overseas posts. Com mander Gene Tunney, special ad- visor to the chief of the Navy Bureau of Personnel, said today.
 The former heavyweight boxing champion, here on q worldwide tour to inspect navy physical fitness programs. said the service planned to construct football fields, base ball diamonds boxing rings and other sports facilities in the forward area ito keep men occupied while they are waiting to return home.
 After the last war 1t took a year to get the soldiers home from France and the guardhouses weren't big enough to hold all the men that were AWOL," he said. This time We hope to have equipment ready so they can return to civilian life in the best possible physical condi tion."
 But construction of forward area sports centerS, he said, was being hampered by transportation difficult ties, not lack of equipment.

 Another distinction for the 1945 Tracy team is that 1t has made" the state interscholastic meet at New Haven in it's first year as a memberof the Naugatuck Valley League; and a win tonight, brings Tech tie with Torrington for sec ond place; the latter team having been upset by Gilbert of Winsted last night 38-29 Naugatuck High won the valley title last Wednesday night by defeating Crosby 30-2l i'll the borough.
 Bristol topped Meriden last night 4O-3O to tie for the central Con- necticut championship; but Bristol needs a win over Torirngton tonight in Torrington to gain the state tour new at New Haven, starting Febru- ary 26.
