HOLLYWOOD.

Top fayorite of all the GIs, the
man who has travelled some 800 900
miles since early 1912, entertaining
troops on nearly every front of the
global war, Bob Hope took a few
minutes off in his dressing room on
a Paramount stage to dwell upon
his favorite subject-morale for
servicemen.
OF all the Hollywood actors who
responded to the call of the Victory
Committee for entertainment tricks
to the camps far and near, Hope Is
best qualified to speak out on the
subject and when he did it was
Hope the straight man, not Hope
the comic.
| It was no easy task, however, get
ting the conversation around to
the matter, but once this was ac-
complished Hope wound up and let
go with everything he had on his
mind. The habitually f1ippant Bob
brushed of several questions before
with:
What is going to be done about
entertaining servicemen who are
remaining on duty in occupied coun-
tries?"
The question hit home Sitting

and wig, garbed as an 18th century
French barber for his film, Mon
sieur Beaucaire," Hope knocked off
the clowning facet of his character
and did serious transition.
Plenty better be done,' he de-
clared emphatically. Those kids
are going to be stuck far from home
at stations all over the world-and
don't forget the ones that are nailed
to hospital beds and wheelchairs in
this country.
IF I learned anything at all on
tour it was that, next to wounds
and death, the worst things these
kids face was the deadly boredom of
having nothing at all to do that

Internal Revenue Ruling
 On War Bond Gifts To Elm plovees In Armed Services

One of the State Committees re- gently advised the War Finance Division that local company de- sired to give a War Bond to each of it's former employees serving in the armed forces overseas. The company inquired whether the purchase price of these War Bonds would be deductible in it's Federal income tax return. Following is the reply of May 31, 1945, from the Deputy Commissioner of 1n- ternal Revenue:
 "The Bureau holds that salaries paid by employers during the present emergency to employees who are absent in the military or naval service, or who are serving the Government in other ways at a nominal compensation, but who intend to return at the conclusion of the emergency, are allowable deductions from gross income for Federal income tax purposes. (See IT. 3417, C.B. 194O-2, 64).
 Accordingly, the cost of War Bond which is presented bysan employer to a former employee who is serving in the armed forces overseas would constitute addi- tional compensation to the former employee and, as such, would be deductible by the employer as a business expense under section 23ta) of the Internal Revenue Code"

SUICIDE PILOTS

From Running, China, comes reports of new type of suicide plane, now being constructed by the Japanese on large scale, to replace regular planes with Jap anese suicide pilots have been loading with explosives and crashing into Amer ican warships.
 In the new plane, according to reports, the pilot sits in the center, locked into his cockpit from the outside, without parachute. The wheels automatically drop when the plane leaves the ground, and the pilot, unable to bail out or land without an explosion, is doomed
 While there has been little official in- formation as to the nature of Japanese attempts against our ships in the Far Pa- cific, it is quite probable that the enemy will attempt to inflict damage by the use of suicide pilots.
 The only protection for a ship is to prevent suicide planes from getting into position for the final dive. This means that the enemy plane must be shot down before it reaches the target area, which is an almost impossible defensive task, especially when we consider that at tacks can be made at night.-(Bedford, Va, Democrat)

bills recently, and about people who advocate their passage. The bills are practically alike and they point to government control like compass points to the north.
 The Entering Wedge
 Both bills call for a 300 million dollar annual outlay of federal funds, and it's only start. Testi- mony of people who journey to Washington boosting the idea is very clear. It translates the hand writing on the wall. They expect federal aid to grow rapidly after the first bill is passed. also think it would grow in less than ten years from federal subsidy to fed eral control.
 l am opposed to federal aid therefore for several reasons: OD will lead directly to federal con- trol of education. @ When the na- tional government controls the To- cal schools the children's parents have nothing to say about what takes place at school. (S) If it hap pens, popular education, so dearly bought, will be nothing but q handy stepping stone toward no. litical dictatorship.

ACCORD? CERTAINLY!

The Big Five Accord, in fact the United Nations accord, speaks we'll for the future of humanity The world of the future will have some of the golden op- portunities for education along any chosen lines toward the betterment of the individual, the community, the coun- try, and the world
 It has been known for many genera tions that education is the only means through which the world can better it. self. But mere book learning will not do the job. Education today means the knowledge of how and what other peo- ples and nations are doing.
 Now, along with that education, or knowledge, must come the parallel har- mony, or accord, on items of mutual in- tereSt, and tolerance on the things we do not understand, with the ultimate fairminded discussion and debate on the merits of issue, and final acceptance of the decision of the majority.
 We are now getting civilized When we can sit down with our neighbors, dis cuss our differences, and evolve fair minded decisions. The smaller nations, who have heretofore taken more or less the decisions of greater bordering na- tions, now have voice in world security, and will in all probability, be tremen- dous influence in shaping our world fu- ture.
 The Big Five accord started the ball rolling but it will take all of the United Nations accord to keep it going in the right direction.

BAITED HOOKS

TWO years dSO WiiCh hotloioA legislation affecting schools was proposed (S-63O nobody who fa- vored the bill ever called it the federal school control bill" That alone would have defeated it. No sincere friend of Americas public schools wants them bossed by the national government. The thing was referred to always as federal aid to education" That sounded much better.
 But a great many people were not fooled at all. They had seen bait used to hide hooks before by political as we'll as practical fish, ermen. Although the bill stated, right in Section One, that it would be a nice little law if passed and not help any government man, or group of men, grab the schools and run away with them, the platitude was ignored by our sage and sea- soned Senate.
 Amended by Senate
 On the floor of the Senate the federal aid" bill underwent some changes. As changed, no part of the federal funds therein provided nor any part of the local funds thereby supplemented could be used to make or maintain any dis tinction between races. That's fed eral control, beyond dispute. I am not discussing the merits of the amendment. I am saying this: Fed eral control will follow federal aid as night follows day.
 The subject is alive again now. A committee in the House and an- other committee in the Senate are once more considering legislation that flys the flag of federal aid to education" Once more I am en- phasizing that financial aid to To- cal schools from farAaway Wash ington will bring federal control of local schools in spite of all the protective clauses ever built out of words.
 If Is Federal Law
 The Supreme Court of the United States, the most powerful tribunal on this war-cursed earth, has established a precedent in fa- vor of federal control. The Su- preme Court has ruled that the federal government can control that which it subsidies. Little, protesting sentences in the pream- ble of new legislation figuratively fade away in the light of this Su- preme Court ruling.
 Some people may want to argue that federal aid to schools is not federal subsidy of schools. main- tain that any distinction between 'he two things is a distinction without a difference. I have learn.

ton told Congress today I'VE be-
lieve We can attain the objectives
of Breton Woods at half the cost
The association added that under
the agreements, as now drawn
Uncle Sam might be branded by the
world as Uncle Shylock."
In testimony before the House
Banking Committee, ABA Presi-
dent w. Randolph Burgess said his
organization agrees with the pur-
poses" of Breton Woods, likes the
idea of an international bank, but
turns thumbs down on creation of
separate international currency

Mr.. Burgess was the first witness
to oppose the agreements drawn at
conference of A nations at Bret
ton Woods, NJ H., last summer
They propose a s9,100, 100000 world
bank for reconstruction and devel-
,opment and an $500, 900 900 stabili-
zation fund.
U. S. Liability 6 Billions.
Total United States liability would
approximate $6000,0O0 900.
The differences of opinion con-
corning the Breton Woods pro-
poSals arise with respect to meth
DDS and not to objectives." Mr..
Burgess said. I'VE agree with the
objectiveS, but we think that the
fund should not be created. In its
place We favor the establishment
OF department of the bank to per-
form the stabilization function now
assigned to the fund"
Turning to the money involved,
he said I'VE think of Uncle Sam
as rich as Croesus but lately he has
been growing poorer and other coun-
tries richer" He described many
countries as having benefited from
our huge war expenditures" and
expressed the opinion the money
involved could be halved
Mr.. Burgess contended that Amer
lean delegates to Breton Woods
were under instructions from the
President which limited the scope
of their deliberations
Marked Contrast to Dumbart0n.
We are told" he said, that the
American people should now take
tthe agreements) as they are-with-
out change-otherwise new interna-
tional conferences must be called
which might fail. This is in marked
contrast to the procedure with re-
spect to the Dumbarton Oaks pro-
posals, where conference of tech
nical experts was followed not only
by widespread public discussion but
also by second conference to be
held at San Francisco"
Expressing the opinion that ABA
uggestions-"all in the interest of
mplification" - would not neces-
sarily require another conference to
draw up new agreements, Mr.. Bur-
CESS asked: Why should we dread
conference?"
The ABA previously had an
nounced its stand on the fund in q
statement describing it as novel and
contrary to accepted credit prin-
ciples."

Menus Are Examined.

Mr.. Connolly's cancellatio of per-
mission given earlier for the three
Washington restaurants to remain
open came after he had conferred
with their porprietors and examined
their menus.
Jack A. Serber of the local VINO
said the Office had failed to interpret
correctly a revision of the curfew
order, issued Sunday, when 1t grant,
ed permission for the three places
to remain open after midnight to
serve food only. Mr.. Serber said
the three were luxury restaurants
and that the revised order was in
tended to apply only to places where
night war workers were likely to eat.
Under the revised order, restau-
rants may fill out an application for
exception, in which they specify
whether they serve liquor and pro-
vide entertainment. In this form
they promise that if allowed to op-
crate after midnight they will con-
fine their menus to food.
According to statement Mon
day by Robert J. Wilson of the
Washington Restaurant Association
VINO had agreed to approve all
such applications on temporary
basis, subject to revocation after the
data set forth by the applicants had
been investigated.
