More Taxes, Court Rules
BY the Assoeiafad Pres,

The United States Tax Court
has ruled that film producer
Jesse L. Lasky and his wife
owed an additional $449,2 in
1943 income taxes on earnings
received from the one-time
smash movie hit Sergeant
York"
Mr.. Lasky, after making q pri-
vate contract with Sergt. Alvin
York. the jamestown, Tenn,
World War I hero, for the movie
rights to his life. produced the
picture for Warner Bros. In
addition to his salary as pro.
Queer, he retained certain per-
petual royalties from the rental
of the film.
However, Mr.. Lasky in 1912
sold his royalty rights to United
Artists, receiving a lump sum
payment of $805,000.
This was reported by Mr..
Lasky and his wife Bessie as a
long term capital gain, only half
OF which would be taxable. The
Internal Revenue Service con.
tended, however, that it was or
binary income, and the tax court
yesterday upheld this view.

The difference between War

Warsaw was 90 per cent de-
stroyed during the war. Amid
these ruins and ghostly crum-
bling walls the Poles, with an
amazing energy, are rebuilding
their city into what will be one
of the notable cities Of Europe.
They work and work hard six
days a week. eight hours a day,
building roofs over their heads.
The Russians know from past
experience that the Poles are
fighting rebels. They have acted
accordingly. The appointment of
Russian Marshal Rossokovsky as
minister of defense prevents any
Polish war hero from command

to become the virtual dictator
Of Poland.
Sees Changes in Moscow.
The change in Moscow and

the years 1885 and 1897 is star

The Improvement in the press
and the appearance of the peo-

are under way. the better mu-

Continuous Service.
A complete tape broadcast
lasts between 80 seconds and a
minute, depending on how many
people are being called, and
service Is continuous. Luckily,
everyone doesn't want every
body at once or the tape would
be overloaded.
The messages are sent out in
numerical order so if the voice
skips past your number, you can
tune out. Reception is possible
in a car, at theaters, at the ball
game. The beam has a range of
Is miles.
Mr.. Smith says this Is just
one more step toward pocket
telephones which he happily
prophecies are just around the
corner.

Travelling Editor Sees No Risk
OF War or Revolt in Europe

Peace is also a popular thing
in Czechoslovakia. believe that
it is doubtful that the Czech
people will support a rebellion
II they believe it will lead to war.
Czechs Still Groggy.
We few in a Dutch airliner
from Amsterdam to Prague. The
Czechs appear much like the
man who woke up and found
himself in jail and wondered
how he got there.
The impact Of the coming of
Communist control in 1948 still
leaves them groggy. They are
dazed by the harShness and COM
pleteness Of the break with the
past. They are cowed by the
threat of certain and cruel
punishments If they express OPP
position.
The Czech people as they
crowd out onto the sidewalks look
unhappy. Rarely is a smile to
be seen.
When communism comes it
hits hard. It tolerates no OPP
position, no criticism.

with what ] saw on this trip,
I believe It is safe to say that
there will not be war because no
Soviet. Polish or Czech govern
ment dareS to take its people
into war.
Neither is there any danger
Of internal revolt as long as con-
ditionS continue to improve be-
cause the people Of these coun-
tries, especially the Poles and the
Russians. have suffered so much.
All they ask Is to be allowed
to live in peace. Only an actual
invasion on a scale large enough
to reverberate as a truthful re-
atty can arouse these peoples.
None of these governments dares
to use any pretended invasion as
an excuse to launch a war.
Peace Means Support.
The Moscow government took
up the peace theme because it
was the dearest thing in the
minds of the Russian people. AS
long as the government gives
them peace the people are going
to support their government.
It is a deep-rooted theme that
grows out Of the life and hopes
Of the people after their long
suffering in war.
The same applies to the Polish
government. The Poles want
roofs over their heads and some
thing to eat.
AS long as the Communist
government gives them these,
and peace, that government will
have the liberation if not the
support Of the Polish people.

Yoi, Yoi, what a Valentine sup
per the ladies had for their hus-
bands and families on Saturday
- wurst, home made and ga
riechart just right. These good
women served a bountiful table
- one pound of wurst per person.
1t always brings to mind - "Na,
Fritzo wells ia net an ungder
stack wurst." Fritzo was Just
six when his mother spoke those
famous words at the first wurst
supper. Now he is a grown man,
yet when wurst is served some
one sooner or later says - INA
Fritzo wells to net anungder stack
wurst."
They not only served wurst but
palukas and campust in the head
(kraut put up with the whole
head of cabbage) but hunkleich
- Grossauner hunkleich but
made by Walthieters and Mortus-
dorfers and the Chamber of Com
merce from R.ussmarkt. Maybe
it was a bit "Wacklech" but there
it was rich with, country butter
an fresh eggs. Later in the even
ing huge" kugel appel" NIT tea
and polly was enjoyed. Then
Yackedy jack went the converse
ton from that time on. O happy
day! And so Mutterchen l close
with the thought that best times
are had, with our own people -
our own Siebenbuerger recipes
and someday maybe mutterchen
we can gather them together and
place them on the printed page OF
a book and if that is done they
will never die for then your
grandchildren and great grand
children will enjoy hunkleich, pa
lukas and kugel appel just as you
did.
