.WarSpending
Gain Noted
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics. New f0rk University
Chiefly due to strikes, statistics
covering industrial activity showed
decline last week. War spend
ing" actually increased and ran
above the amount of year ago,
while civilian demands for goods
would be sufficient TO make up
for all the cut-backs and termi-
nations.
The only explanation of the
more-than-seasonal drop in car
loadings and steel production is
TO be found in. the action OF orga-
ffzed labor, notably IN the oil and
coal industries. In fact, "miscel-
laneous car loadings" were up
latter Adjustment while "all
other car loadings" largely coal)
were down.
Steel output has been cut about
) per cent. partly by coal strikes
affecting coke supplies. partly by
direct steel-labor shortages. and
partly by a let-down in produc-
tivity Of the steel-making workers.

ENCOURAGING

Tax developments last week
were probably somewhat encour-
aging. and moderately favorable

proposal was made 10 reduce the
excess profits tax. and the surtax
rates on corporations. But what
is needed is 10 eliminate entirely
the war emergency. excess profits

Moreover, there is a disturbing
political tendency 10 remove all
taxes from the lower incomes.

voters. and increasing the pres

be hoped that the Senate will
show more courage and states

included the return OF the oil

Jap Cap Found On Beach

A cap, definitely identified by a local naval intelligence officer as being of Japanese origin, was found on the beach of Near ls- land, across from the KEA plant, Thursday, by Zoe Sholl, 15, daughter of MT. aud Mrs. Ben Sholl.
 Exploring the beach while on a picnic with members of her family and friends, Zoe found the cap some feet from the water.
 The cap is of khaki, with a small visor and drawstrings in the back for adjusting the head size. It is lined with a coarse white cloth, on which appears in 2 different places a number of Japanese hierogIyphics and an insigne of some kind of black lines.
 The cap was completely dry and smelled strongly of oil, and the color was faded to some ex- tent.
 It was turned over to the local naval intelligence officer yester- day and will probably be sent elsewhere for examination and translation of the Japanese char acters in it.

Children Have Big Time The 4th

Main Street rang with excite ment the 4th of July as seeming Iy every boy and girl in town joined in the large number of events and went home jingling with the cash prizes and 10 cents for every participant of every contest.
 The weatherman provided sunshine to make the day more festive and events were run off with cIock-like regularity from 10 am until the final fire hose con test just before 4 pm.
 Every kind of race was pro vided for all ages and there were 240 winners in the events who got prizes from 50 cents to s.
 Fastest pie-eater for boys and girls under 12 was Dickie SimeOnoff, with Gerry Landin and Buster Began runners-up. Stella Scroggs, Alice Davis and Carol Larsen won in the older girls group while Sidney Hubley, Johnny Olsen and Mike Kerr won for the boys.
 An ice cream eating race pro duced winners Johnny Olsen, Donna Fitzgerald a7d Martha Olsen, while outsta ding con- testants in the Hobby Horse event were Bill Nettl Franklin Davls, Bill Hubley, and Laur- ence Anderson.
 Girl winners in the costume race were Charlotte Nelson, Zoe Johnston and Stella Scroggs, and for the boys Richard Hartman, Mike Kerr and Allen Chernoff.
 Winners too numerous to men tlon resulted from the relays, tugs-Of-war, sack races, etc., and 1t was hard to tell whether the spectators or participants enjoy ed them the most.
 Final event Of the days pro- gram was the fire hose contest between the Army and City, which the city participants, con- sisting of Al Miller, Walter MuI- Ter, Tommy Clampffer and El- win Foster, won easily, but which ended unhappily when an unscheduled water fight resulted m injuries to the city team.
