Russian Girls Romance Aided
by Yonk at Displacement c enter

the plate which she was drying and
carrying her towel with her, she
walked up to the table beside the
captain, looking at him Very suspi-
ciously and wiping her hands on the
towel.
The girl, who must be about 20
and who lived in Kharkov, speaks
only a couple of words of English,
but talks German. The captain had
said only a couple of words before
she got the idea and started to smile.
Then she started to bow, and by the
time the captain had finished she
was backing away, bowling and say
ing: Tank, tank"
Love-" the captain said, and he
was laughing. ut must be real"
The captain then told another
story, this one about a Dutch boy
who fell in love with Russian girl
while they both were workers in
Germany. He said the two were
separated when the Germans were
pushed out of this piece of the
Rhineland which the Americans,
now hold, and the Dutch boy was
returned home.
Nov he's trying to find the GIRL"
the captain said. He had her pic
ture and he had copies made and
he's had the liaison officers dis
tribute copies of her picture, along
with vital statistics, in every dis
placed persons camp along the Allied
front.
While the captain was finishing
dinner he told about the accordion
they had bought for the camp after
taking up collection among the
residents. He said the accordion
was all right for a couple of days
and then somebody busted it over
somebody else's head and that was
the end of the accordion. He said
that the guitar they bought was all
right, too, until Russian girl busted
it over some Poles head, and that
was the end of the guitar.
Promises to Send Note.
When the captain finished eating
and got up, the big, blond Russian
girl was still watching him. AS he
passed the kitchen she stopped him
and, smiling, asked him if she could
send a note to her Yugoslav man,
and when the captain said she
could, she gave him a note on a
piece of green paper, and she asked
him how long it would be before
her man would be back.
"Oh, in four or five days." the
captain said, maybe TO-"
"Oh, no." the girl said, and she
was very earnest. Il can't wait 10
days"
The captain had to laugh again.

Maryland Is Placing
Income Tax Liens on
400 Monthly in Drive
10000 FuiIed to Make
Returns Last Year,
Deputy Chief Reveals
Ry the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Mar. IL. - The
wages of approximately 400 Mary
landerS are garniSheed each month
to collect arrears in State income
taxes Joseph O'C. McCusker, dep
uty chief controller, disclosed yes
terday.
Declaring a stricter enforcement
policy on income tax evasion laws
had been initiated, Mr.. McCusker
estimated that about 10000 persons
mostly In the middle income
bracket-failed to file State income
tax returns in 1914.
He said the State was losing an
annual revenue in defaulted taxes
Of nearly 100000.
OF the estimated 10000 persons
who failed to file returns, not all
were delinquent taxpayers, he ex-
planned. Some, he said, would
prove to be persons who married
since filing previous returns, mar
ried persons who failed to report
children and former Marylanders
who have nontaxable incomes.
He declared the average amount
due the State from each delinquent
taxpayer was between S. and $40.
'It has taken us a while to take
full advantage of the provisions of
the law passed by the Legislature
in 1943.
Handicapped, at first, by an in
sufficient Office staff, we had to fol-
low the procedure of locating the
delinquent taxpayer. writing letter
of reminder and then contracting his
employer.
Last year we placed liens in the
hands of employers of persons de-
faulting in their taxes to the extent
of 200 to 300 monthly, but now,
with the addition of eight new,
clerks we are able to step up the
process"
The official estimate of income
taxes due the State for 1914 Is
Sc, 000, 900. 1t is expected that about
10 per cent of the 100000 taxpayers
will pay the full amount owed on
April Is, the deadline for filing re-
turns and making quarterly pay

His name was cut on a beech
