HIGH COURT RULING BANS
TAX ON ISLANDS GOODS

WASHINGTON, April i. up
The Philippine islands, suffering
from years of occupation and war
fare, have received an economic
boost from the supreme court.
A ruling handed down Monday
decreed that goods shipped here
from the Philippines are immune
from state taxation, just as are i'm
ports from a foreign country. The
constitution bars state taxation on
either imports or exports.
The 5 to decision invalidated
an attempt by Ohio to levy a tax on
rope fibers imported from the isl
andS and other countries and kept
IN storage at the Hooven & Allison
Co., Xenia, O. The Ohio supreme
court had upheld the levy.

EVERY DAY IS V-E-DAY
IN GERMANY NOW

|. While the world is waiting for signals
heraldin We Day and eager for the
word that will give the final word to
celebrate that day, actually we are in the
midst of Victory Day, if the term ''in the
midst can be comprehended in this con-
nection.
Each days march through Germany
now ends the war definitely for that par
ticular area and each day is surrender
day for the demoralized and beaten Ger
man armies.
One American army alone, under COM
mand of General Omar n. Bradley, since
invasion day ten months ago has cap
tured 1,018,36 Germans under arms. Two
other Yank armies have bagged 100000
each and now that the lines are drawing
closer and closer to Berlin it no longer is
possible to portion the captive Germans
to any one army. Surrenders are by divi-
sions-20,000 Germans at a time.
There is no longer German army of
four or five or three million men to figure
in wholesale surrender. In all probabil-
ity when the Allies enter Berlin they will
find a comparatively small Nazi force to
surrender there.
For once the Nazis are being generous
giving plenty of Ways.

OPA LIFTS PRICE CONTROLS ON MOST ALASKAN FURS

A telegram received today by local OPA representative Orah Dee Clark stated that price con- trols on most of the important categories of Alaska furs have been suspended, as of October 24.
 Subject to this suspension are Alaska beaver, mink, silver fox, blue and white fox, and seal skin, as well as certain other types.
 Moving immediately after V-J Day to suspend as many controls as possible, OPA set up suspen- sion order No. 127, effective Aug ust IS, with specific application to certain non-cost of living com modities and service in the Terri tories and possessions, including Alaska.
 Due to this nasty action, an oversight occurred, emitting these furs from the list of items cov- cred by the suspension order. For tunately Alaska OPA officials were able through urgent appeals to Washington to obtain a corrce- tion to the situation, by an amend ment before the season got too far under way.
 Now Alaskan trappers and trad CTS may have full benefit of the suspension on the same fur, in- cluded in the order, in effect in the States since August IS. Notifi- cation of this is being made to

HUSBAND REPORTED ALIVE AFTER FIVE YEARS

This week was a week of sur prises for Mrs. Rosemary Me Swain of Nome, in that she re- ceived news from Italy, from her first husband, Captain Giuseppe Bianchi, who was reported dead in the African campaign more than five years ago.
 Captain Bianchi asked about his wife and family and how they were getting along, and stated that he had been injured when his plane crashed, was hospital ized, and unable to correspond with anyone outside of Italy.
 Mrs. McSwain, in reply, wrote that after two years following the reports of his death, she had re- married, and divorced her second husband; but she had always re- membered and loved the father of her first child, which they had named Gail. She also stated that she would return to her original married name, Rosemary Bianchi.
 Mrs. Bianchi stated today that her husband had wished to come to America, and that she hoped very much for him to come to her in Alaska, as he is out of the air force now and might come at least for visit until the quota allow ance would premit his staying permanently.

New Drug Labels What They Mean
By FRANK CAREY

By FRANK CAREY
 WASHINGTON-The Food and Drug Administration is eliminat- ing double-talk in the labelling of items that get into the family medicine chest.
 New regulations effective re- gently for all medicines procur- able at drug store provide:
 1. If a medicine is safe for self medication, the label on the bottle or box must contain full direc- tions explaining what the product is good for, how much to take, when and how.
 Products in this class include aspirin tablets, mild laxatives, cough medicines, mouth washes, and gargles, and the like.
 Nothing Vague
 There are to be no more of those vague instructions such as two teaspoons as directed by your physician" because medicines in this class do not require a doctors supervision.
 2. If medicine is unsafe or in effective without a doctors super vision-medcinies such as the sulfa drugs, digitalis and thyroid extract-the label must bear only the legend: ''To be dispensed only by or on the prescription of a physician Cor dentist or veterin- arian."
 You'll have to have doctors prescription to get them, and the doctors instructions will be typed on by the druggist.
 Unlabeled Items
 3. A third class of products will not be required to carry either full directions or the prescription legend. This class includes such familiar products as tincture of iodine and sodium bicarbonate.
 Dr. Robert P. Herwick, chief of the drug division of the Food and Drug Administration, says the new rules should not only con- tribute to greater safety but should eliminate a lot of confu- sion.
 In the past, he said, it has been possible for one medicine to be put up in different packages some being labeled for prescrip- tion use and some being labeled as home remedies.
 One reason for this has been that some drug houses that manu- factured prescription items often would put prescription labels on items meant as home remedies, just to be on the safe side. Others would slap a prescrip- tion label on a home remedy be- cause they didn't want to go to the trouble of making out a more detailed label. This was done, Dr. Herwick said, even though it was known that the remedies would be sold right over the counter without a prescription.

 Should the Republicans fail to abide by original terms, thus plac- ing the Democratic leaders in dis satisfied position, incumbent office holders of the former party will retain offices after July 1.
 Possibility existed today, it was declared, of the COP leaders re- turning to the original agreement because of the press of public opin- ion relative to their proposed reneging.

Frees Captured Buddies, Apprehends Nazi Cap-

Sgt John Franko, son of MT. and Mrs. Francesca Franko, 1236 North Main street, recently succeeded, with another member of his Signal corps unit, in rescuing two buddies who had fallen into Nazi custody with a few finger movements, according to an Army release.
 Franko, a wireman with the 39th. Signal Co.,, was leading two truck conveys down a road when he spot ted five Germans preparing to lead a couple of I'D men away.
 There was no time to use the Walkie-Talkie or Morse code. While the signalmen dismounted quickly from the trucks and took up firing positions with their Nils and car pines, Pfc. John Tortorella, Boston, Mass, swung the 50 calibre machine gun mounted atop the truck into position. Then the signal operation began.
 Sgt. Franko, after much frantic handwriting managed to catch the captains attention without making the Germans aware of his presence. He then made it clear that Tortor- ella was going to fire his MIG just
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-06-28

as soon as the captain and his driv- CT hit the ground. The captain indi- cated with an idle gesture that he understood, and was ready to &C., cept the signal.
 When the driver of Franko's truck raised and dropped his hand, the plan began to work. The cap- tain and his driver hit the ground and rolled out of the way. Tortorel- la opened his 50 calibre machine gun, and the other signalmen con- tributed their small arms fire.
 The Germans took to the woods with the signal men on the heels and brought back as many as had not fallen under fire.
