CAPITAL CHAFF

After Ambassador Pat Hurley had a swank Cadillac car dismantled and flown in two planes from h. dia to Chungking, he isn't using it. At first an Army sergeant drove it. That was all right. But later, when a Chinese chauffeur took over, something went wrong and Hurley recently wired the State De- partment that he has no transpor- tation Previous Ambassadors have used a Ford or a ricksha . Directors of the Associated Press were invited to dine with the Chi cago Tribunes Colonel Bertie Me Cormick in honor of AP chief Kent Cooper. When they arrived at the dinner they were startled to find that the isolationist publisher had also invited prize array of fellow isolationist guests, in u in :: Charles A. Lindbergh, ex-Congress- man Hamilton Fish, Eddie Ricken- packer and Frank Gannett.

The obligations of the United States he insists must be made good and protected. To protect them the Government must get the taxes The Presidents stand on this issue is politically courageous and altogether sound.
 On the other hand, Senator George, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee contends that rather substantial reductions in both corporate and individual
 income taxes must be effected at the earliest possible date If we to preserve the American economy If we do not effect readjustment of rates now he fears there is danger of "an economic nose-dive" when Japan surrenders And there is much to be said for this view also
 The two positions not, in fact, irreconcable as they may at first sight course is possible which recognizes the truth in each of them. The present general structure of taxes, with whatever minor modifcations may be thought desirable, should be retained until the end of the with Japan But Congress could and should prepare and enact now new tax structure to go into effect immediately after V-J Day
 This might be done through certain automatic adjustment provisions Let us take, for example the present corporation profits tax of 95 per cent The new tax bill might provide that this rate could be scaled down in accordance with the point in the fiscal year of corporation at which VJ Day occurred If the corporations fiscal year the same as the calendar year and V-J Day came in July of 1946 the excess profits rate for that year would be calculated at en-twelfths of 95 per cent if V-J Day came Tn June of 1946 the profits tax rate for that year would be calculated at half of 95 per cent and so Possibly similar adjustments if they not too complicated could be worked out for corporation and personal income taxes while few excise taxes might be automatically changed at the end of the month in which V-J Day occurred
 By a course of this sort, several objectives could be achieved at once Maximum revenues would be produced in the period. Immediate relief would come in the postwar period, to encourage return to maximum civilian production. And business men and all the rest of would know now exactly what the program was to be- that new plans could be made and put into effect without days unnecessary loss of time.

CONTINUED CENSORSHIP

With the European war over, everyone expected press censorship to ease up. In some respects, how ever, especially in the Pacific, it is getting tougher.
 Not only are newspapers barred from even speculating regarding certain international phases of the Pacific war, but the Navy for some weird reason hushed up the bomb ing of the airplane carrier Frank lin from April 26, when she got to New York, to May IT, when the disaster finally was announced. There were obvious reasons for keeping the news quiet while the ship was enroute through the Pan anna Canal But once it passed the Canal and was safely tied up in New York. all danger was past. However, the Navy still invoked censorship.

WALLACE SWINGS RIGHT

Big business representatives, once worried over Henry Wallace, are smiling broadly about his new Committee to Study Patents. They have managed to put one of the ablest defenders of the old patent system in the position of writing the vitally important patent report for Wallace.
 He is Houston Kenyon, attorney for Standard oil Of New Jersey, which withheld synthetic rubber patents from the American public before the war. and which is now engaged in a lawsuit with the U. s. Government to recover 2,000 al leged Nazi patents seized from Standard by the Alien Property Custodian.
 The special committee was set I'D by Secretary Wallace at the suggestion of President Truman, who strongly criticized monopolis- tic patents and the misuse of patents, and cited the need for re- yising the whole patent system. Following this, Wallace appointed two old-line patent defenders, Charles r. Kettering of General

PRODUCTION AND EMPLOYMENT

The term full employment has been surrounded with a great deal of muddled thinking. Not least confusing has been the tendency to place employment and production in two separate compartments. An outstanding Illustration is found in Price Admin isrator Chester Bowes recent statement concerning the major objectives of his agency reconveron price policy According to MT. Bowles objective is full production" while another is full employment"
 Production and employment are two sides of the same coin If we have full production" high-level employment will take place simultaneously. Full employment can be achieved Independently of high production only if engage in nonproductive Gov ernment make-work projects by spread the-work objective of OPA price policy to achieve this latter type of full employment" Therefore Mir Bowes must have had reference to the employment which accom- panes high-level production. The establishment of full employment" and full production" as separate goals is meaningless and only confuse the issue.
 We must keep eye the important goal, maximum production If succeed in it's attainment the employment problem will take care of itself. If we do not attain full production" but have full employment in the make-WoIk sense, can only achieve redistribution of smaller production pie Our material national we-being depends upon the volume of goods and services available for consump- tion The higher the production, the higher the available. It is redundant to set up separate ob jectves for employment and production. Maximum production is the goal.

 Finally Truman asked Thomas to write him a detailed recommenda- tion for reconversion.
 Will you read u if I send it in," Thomas asked, "or will it just go to some clerk"
 The President promised to look it over carefully himself
 Just as Thomas was about to leave the Presidents office, he turned to Truman and said:
 I'm no Communist, MT. President, but don't like the mess Stettinius has got us into. Roosevelt always was able. to keep good balance between Russia, Britain and our selves But now this bird has got us into the position where we're q kite on the tail of the British lion. |"
 You can't blame Stettinius for that" replied Truman. The sit uation after the Presidents death was so confused that we had to get strengthened out in a hurry. I don't like it any more than you do There wasn't enough prepara- ton for the Conference. But you and your boys can be sure I am going to get it strengthened out"

SUGAR REGULATIONS

The War Food Administration is preparing a new allocation of sugar which will pare down Army re- quirements. Also it will reduce the Foreign Economic Administration shipments to Europe. Europe was originally supposed to get about 100000 tons this year; but the rate has been cut to 946,0 ,000 tons and War Food is now preparing to trim it further to little more than 100000 tons.
 Overdrawing by the Army will also be ruled out. First and second quarter allotments for the Army were 106,500 tons, but the Army actually took 120,000 tons the first quarter and 134,000 tons in the second. Officials say this is a typical Army practice-failing to stockpile when food is plentiful, and demanding more than its al- location when food is scarce.
 The new plan being worked out by WFA may mean little more sugar in the home-and will also mean the saving of numerous small businesses which depend upon sugar Although OPA has talked of cutting industrial sugar users to 45 or 50 per cent Of their normal consumption, it has secretly been afraid it would have to cut them to only 35 per cent. However, the new War Food plan will mean 50 per cent or better for industrial sugar users.

 This was interesting enough. But, on top of it all, Houston Ken yon, defender of the Standard Oil I. G. Farben cartel patents, is ac- tually writing the first draft of the report for the Wallace Committee and doing the main spade-work for it's members.
 It was originally expected that Attorney General Riddle, the other Cabinet member delegated to act with Wallace, would serve as a break on the big business patent boys. But present dope is that the patent report will be held up until after July l, when MT. Riddle will be out of the Cabinet.

Last January, Langer urged the Secretary of War to let the public know these balloons were coming over and quietly warn peo- pie to keep away from them. But the Army refused until finally ru- mor became so rife that it reluct- antly yielded.

War Among the Bypassed
Cincinnati Enquirer


 Recently a Navy casualty list told of a Ken tuckians death of burns received in action in the Admiralty Islands.
 The headlined part of the war-but not the war itsef-has long since moved thousands of miles beyond this spot It is 930 miles from Mares Harbor, in the Admiraltes, to Guam, announced Western Pacific headuarters From Guam to Manila is 1,60O miles farther, or from Guam to Oknawa is 1,200 miles, fighting is going and death incurred thousands of miles behind the front" lines No recent casualty list has called attention to it, but the same thing is still in the Gilberts, where first invaded the Central Pacific, and in the Marshas, next farther west. Marine flers and Navy surface patrol craft have the job of pinning down the many thousands of Japanese who have been bypassed in strong island bases. Truk's stockpiles of material central to all these Jap bases delivery of supplies by sub marine not impossible. The JapS able to fight back occasionally shoot down bombing and srafing plane damage a patrol boat that thrusts it's prov unwarily too close to shore
 It is war, with all the penalties of war, without the glanor the glory the feel of getting somewhere and accomplishing something with only monotony, the risk of death the certainty that there will be headlines to tell the story of those whose job it to keep the Jap's pinned back in these rear areas

Good and adverse aspects seem in balance today Again the Navy is subject to the best possible signs.
 HEART AND HOME
 Women are under the most stimu- lating and inspiring sway which should be fortunate for love affairs as well as for professional or busi- ness activities. The seers warn against tendency to become inde- pendent and self sufficient to an extent that affects domestic rela- tions.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Intricate financial problems in Europe may cause temporary uncer- tainity in the American world of commerce but the stars are most promising for profitable adjust ments. Our exports will increase greatly.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Attention will be focused on de- linquency from new angles that give promise of solution. Parents will be held responsible under strict reg ulationS. Schools for mothers will be established it is forecast.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Competition for power and wealth in peace intervals causes war, as- trologers warn. Certain signs pre- sage many temptations in the fu- ture. The seers foresee the need of the most careful diplomacy now and later.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of progress. Slight obstacles are indicated.
 Children born on this day pro- bably will be affectionate, obedient and ambitious. They will think a great deal of family traditions.

U-Lions Awaiting New
Talent After Lacinq
In Baltimore, 81

Washingtons limping Lions today
were awaiting needed requirements
following a 81 tumble before the
Clippers in Baltimore last night, a
reversal that sent them into the
Eastern Hockey Leagues cellar as
the Baltimoreans forged into fourth
place by a 2-point margin. The
Lions now have a record of four VIC
tories and five ties against 16 de-
feats.
Indications are that a radical face
lifting job will be done before they
resume action against the New York
Rovers at Uline Arena Friday night,
the Olympics in Boston Saturday
night and the Rovers in Madison
Square Garden Sunday.
The Lions fought back furiously
up to the l3-minute mark of the last
period in Baltimore last night when
the Clippers turned on the heat to
score three goals in seven minutes.
Baltimore's freakish first goal
came when the Lions Nick Phillips,
trying to beat off an attack by Joe
Kucler, inadvertently flicked the
puck into his own net.
Hank Roy gave the Clippers 20
edge in the second period on a setup
from Wilson and Player Coach Jack
Riley, but Phillips put Washington
back into the running at 1918 OF
the final period on an assist from
Vern Kaiser.
Baltimore clinched the game when

With the dog show season at an
end for a short time, you would
think that local club members could
sit back and relax. But, no. They
all are hot and bothered about the
coming year. And they all are try
ing to solve the puzzle handed them
by the American Kennel Club when
1t announced that it would not
sanction any more twin shows-that
is, two events on the same grounds
on successive days. Since the Rock
Greek, Mount Vernon and Towson
Kennel Clubs were organized pri-
marily to form twosomes with the
National Capital, the Old Dominion
and the Baltimore County Clubs,
where do they go from here?
However, in spite of the axes
evident opinion that there already
are too many dog clubs down here,
we hear that the Richmond Ken
mel Club is asking for a spring date
and plans on running show the
same week end, If not in the same
locale, with one run by the now or
ganizing Fredericksburg Kennel
Club.
Some fanciers are cong other
things besides worry about the next
show. Among them is Jimmy Allen,
who took time out from his duties
as president of the Washington
Bulldog Club to do a very good
deed. He recently sent his Virginia
Sunshine, a good, mature bulldog
