had excess profits next year even
If the tax had not been repealed.
Senator Taft also argued that if
a concern has increased it's earn

than by paying higher wages to the
particular individuals employed in
that industry.

today at his home at 1400 South

Sergt. Bang, who was driven home
from Fort George G. Meade late

Mrs. Wade w. Wiley, and his STEP
father, DR.. Wiley, said he was taken
prisoner after a raid over France
on September 8, 1943, and was freed
May 3, l945.
THE camp at Braunau was in a
forest" he said. The fellows had
built up a regular hobo town of
shacks made from the trees in the
woods We had walked the 1875 miles
from the original Stalag lib site at
Krems, Austria, in 13 days, three of
them being rest days.
The weather was good on that
march, but it began to rain as soon
as we hit Braunau. The camp was
wet. 1t was cold. 1t was dark.
Everything you touched was damp,
and many of the boys took sick
from sleeping in sticking clothes.
"At night the place was black, but
We knew Gen. Patton was near. We
had bribed some German guards
with American cigarettes at Krems
to bring us crystals and earphones,
with which we made crude radios.
We managed to carry the radios
along on the march without the
Germans knowing about them. We
knew approximately where the
Americans were all the time.
Then the sound of American ar
tillery was heard. 1t came gradually
nearer. The fellows would be lying
in their wet beds at night listening
