Some Of them don't even wear hats.
The sloppy male cads, not con-
tent with their own disgraceful ap-
pearance, are responsible in no
small measure for the way some
women look, Mrs. Dengel said.
Boss Sets Example.
Confusion in clothes can be at

Dengel explained. When the boss
is confused, the girls who work in
his office, quite naturally, are likely
to be confused. When the boss
shows he doesn't care about his
own appearance, the girls are likely
to start wearing sweaters and date
dresses to the Office. The employer
has a very definite responsibility to
set an example in good taste for
his staff to follow"

Leonard is also a great fielder.

Don't File Estimate Until Last Minute
(BY Burton Heath)


 word or advice from the bureau of internal revenue:
 Do NOT file an estimate of your tax on l948 income, this year, un- til the last minute.
 The last minute is midnight of March 15.
 The reason for this advice is this:
 Congress is expected to revise the personal income tax law early this year. That revision is expect ed to apply to all or most income received during 1948. It is gener- ally assumed that the revision will include permission for all hus- bands and wives to split their joint income, as those in commun- ity property law states now can. This would considerably reduce the amount of tax due.
 There is strong sentiment for increasing the personal exemption allowed for each member of the tax family. from the present $500 to a larger figure-possiblY $500 each. That would make some change in the amount of tax due. Finally, there is the possibility of a downward revision of tax rates.
 The bureau of internal revenue is not assuming anything about what Congress will do in any of these respects-or whether Presi- dent Truman will veto such a bill or whether, if he does the bill will be passed over his veto in this Presidential election year.
 But the bureau does want to avoid flood of estimates-accom- panied by partial payments based upon the old law, which will then have to be amended io"IlW dI U, OlISIl WIIH CIdllIlS lOl refund of the payments already made.
 If action on a new tax law is not taken by the middle of March, there is no option, under the law, except to file an estimate and then amend it late-making extra work for taxpayers and bureau alike, and putting both to needless expense.
 For everybody's sake the bureau hopes that every taxpayer now re- quired to file an estimate will wait 1 as long as possible, to see what Congress and the President do.
 Quite unofficially, the bureaus personnel joins the nations tax payers in hoping that Congress will decide the new tax in time to cover March Is estimates.

On the whole, all is well.

the strength of his candidacy. And
he continues only to expound sound

This Changing World
u. S. Officials International Ethics
MAY Be Harmful in the Long Run

nection with reparations, which
continued 10 move to the satellite
countries until two weeks ago. But
there are means Of preventing ship
ments until the international pic
ture becomes clearer and to avoid
fulfilling these treaty obligations
without actually breaking the
treaty.
For instance, about two months
ago Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia
purchased scrap iron and steel from
the western sectors of Berlin. The
Russians already had become ugly
in their dealings with U.s. Gen
Lucius D. Clay, after consulting his
British and French colleagues, de-
cided to stop sending any more OF
this vital war material to the two
satellites and 1t was dicovered one
morning that we did not have the
necessary transportation for such
an operation.
Scrap Still in Berlin.
The Czech and Yugoslav officers
stationed in Berlin to supervise
shipment of the scrap pointed out
to the American liaiSon officer that
there was plenty of transportation
available in Berlin. But the latter
persisted in his contention that all
available trucks and cars were
faulty and would not stand up on
the road. A portion Of the scrap
| Is still in Berlin TODAY.
Similar measures could be taken
with respect to the shipment OF
reparations-raw materials and dis
mantled factories-to the three OF
four satellite countries which are
working now for the Russian war
machine. Czechoslovakia particu-
larry has become an important Gen.
ter of war industry. Russian tech
nicians in uniform are everywhere
in the overexpanded Skoda fac
tories, which are no longer centered
in Pilsen alone, but have been dis
tributed throughout the country.
Albania, which before 1915 had no
factory of any kind, is now produc-
ing, thanks to German reparations,
small arms and ammunition for her
own army and also for the Greek
guerrillas headed by Markos Vafl-
AIDES.
1t is a queer situation. We send
war material to the Greeks to fight
the Communist bands and at the
same time send dismantled German
equipment to Albania, thus helping
Vafiades indirectly to increase his
fighting potential.
1t is unquestionably a fine senti-
ment on the part of Washington
officials, who refuse to stop these
shipments and insist that we must
be above suspicion in our observa-
ton of international treaties. But
this high sense Of international
ethics may be harmful to us in the
long run.

On the Other Hand
Teamwork Is Nice Work, if You Can
Get It-There's ALWAYS CONGRESS

the experience of the past few years
there is only one way to achieve
this happy state of affairs. And
that is by allowing those elected
representatives of the people to have
their own way whenever there is a
difference of opinion.
BY and large, the next Congress
if it is Republican, will be replica
of the present Congress. Same
Speaker of the House, same major
ity leader, same committee chair
men and, when necessary, same
close working relationship between
reactionary Republicans and reac-
tionary Democrats.
That Congress, right in the face
of the coming election, stubbornly
opposed most of the program prom
ised by Candidate Dewey. How
tractable Is it likely to be, once the
election is won?
Ask Speaker Martin, who didn't
like any part of the proceedings over
which he presided in Philadelphia
Ask Majority Leader Halleck, whose
face is still red as he remembers
how he traded the Indiana delega-
ton to Dewey for the vice presiden-
tial nomination he didn't get.
