Young Republican Club scnaa the

/ Charles 1versen. speaking in
favor of the tax, contended it
would be the easiest immediate
solution to the budgetary deficit
anticipated by the Commissioners
for the coming year.
Ken Adams, opposing the tax,
said the Federal Government is
morally bound to repay the Dis
trict for its large tax-exempt
holdings in the city. He felt that
use of the capital investment fund,
a municipal monetary reserve,
would enable the city government
to get through the coming year
without sales tax.
The argument convinced C..
Brantley Duncan, president of the
association.
After these gentlemen have
pointed out how extensive the
Federal holdings in the District
are, no longer favor a sales tax, p"
he said. The Government should
increase its allotment for the

age, he said, aluminium for all
purposes is now 80 per cent short

vital industries affected are ferro-

Mr.. Krug stressed that electric
power supply is in turn handi-
capped by material shortages, par
ticularly in aluminium and steel.
He proposed that Congress set
up standby powers to impose
mandatory allocations on the steel
industry IF necessary"
"Allocations of steel will have

told Congress. For some needs,

voluntary allocations may not do

Cited by Krug in Plea
For Larger Program

Faced by power shortage
which seriously imperils national

Secretary Of Interior Krug said
yesterday such a program prob
ably would receive a favorable re-
ception from Congress. He did
not elaborate on it, however.
Mr.. Krug painted a dark pic

the Senate-House Economic Com

present shortage seriously i'm

tional economic well-being," and
added:
For the second successive year
since the war, various sections of
the country are experiencing dim

and electric systems are nearing
the breaking points as result OF

alton"
During 1949, the Nation is ex-
pected to be as much as 10 per
cent short of energy needs. he
said, while heavy industrial users
are finding they must wait two
years or more before additional
power is available.
MIR. Krug said the Nations re-
quirements can be expected to
double in the next 10 years. Most
of the increase. he declared, must
come from undeveloped resources.

The British press has hailed Mr..
Baron's novel as World War IFS
counterpart of such classics as
Journeys End" and "All Quiet on
the Western Front" Short and
compact, 1t does indeed contain
some Of the deep and dramatic
qualities Of these works Of the
earlier war.
This is story Of an infantry
battalion before and during the
invasion of Normandy-a story Of
the men and boys in the battalion,
their light and their dark sides.
Part Of the Wessex Regiment, the
battalion is a mixture of two main
types. First were "the doggy
boys" slum born and bred who
loved airless streets, gaudy women
and games of chance. They were
bright and volatile, fighting or
playing. The second type were
the country boys from the west,
less emotional and perhaps slower
in thought and action but q good
kind to have beside one when the
chips were down..
Mr.. Baron, who served as a
British infantryman himself from
1910 to the end of the war, saw
action in Sicily, Southern Italy
and thence all the way to Ger
many via the Normandy route.
He also saw with a good reporters
