Opinion Of OthersAbility To Pay

In a broadside on the subject ofpost-war planning, the New JerseyTaxpayers Association points outthat all such plans should be d«-veio-p*d with strict regard to"their cost, and' the .ability of thetaxpayers to- finance them."

That same slant has been adopt-ed by Wiastoa Ohm-chill in con-nection with Britain's variousschemes for post-war readjust-ment, including the famous Bev-eridge plan, ' The IPrime Ministerhas implied that it would be agrave mistake to 'foist upon thepiiblic visionary reforms demand-ing1 far 'more than the contents'•of the ordinary mail's pocketbook.

• Nor does this indicate . chronicopposition to all forward-looking \programs of a social, political oreconomic nature. As a matter -offact, the real friend of iprogressis he who exercises a reasonableamount. of fiscal restraint beforeentering the realm of idealistic ex-perimentation.

-When the war ends, there willhe thousands of demands for'im-provement in domestic and inter-national affairs. Some people willexpect Utopia to be realized over-night.

What will toe needed is the abil-ity to separate the wheat from thechaff and then focus upon thoseplans which offer humanity realpromise of all-around bettermentwithout running everyone into thepoor house because of inability tofoot the bill.

Much as our starry-eyed reform-ers may regret it, ability to payis "a stern but-necessary adjunct ofaccomplishment in the world ofpractical affairs. Our post-warplanners-^-Feder-al, State and mu-nk;ipal-^-will dp well to recognizethat simple fact as they proceedto work -out their grandiose blue-prints of provincial or universalSaLvation. — Trenton E v e n i n gTimes.

The most cursory survey of- theposition of service men and wo-men in Middlesex County as re-gards -their right to vote disclosesa shocking lack of system and aseeming, absence of coordinatedinterest in assuring them thatright.. As far as can be determined byquestioning- of election board offi-cials and members of the eountyclerk's office, there is1 little if anyorganized supervision «f the vitaltask o'f assembling: complete vot-ing lists of citizens who have en-tered military service. Individu-ally, these officials are concernedover the fact that a mere 3,Si00eligible voters in service from allMiddlesex County have been certi-fied by the Adjutant-General's of-fice. That is a ridiculously, piti-fully insignificant percentage.However, there is apparently nopower vested in -any coimty -official

| or department to compile com-plete voting lists -of those serving*their .country for the .purpose,among1 others, of preserving theright to vote!

Many service men and womenand their families are of the mis-taken impression that.induetion or•enlistment in the armed forces ofIthe- United States automaticallyassures them of the right to votein' all subsequent elections pre-scribed by law. If the informa-tion of county.-officials is accurate,

It Wouldn't Sit WellA phyehologieal moment could

A«4 wen if itcould be shown that grain wereplentiful and that farmers, for ex-iamipie, were having no problemwhere corn is eonaerned, the stepwould be one to be approachedwith the greatest caution by anindustry with as great and speciala stake in avoiding hostile publicTeaction as the distilling industry.

O.P.A. GOAL RATION ORDERDistribution of Coal Stocks Must Be Equalized

Close cooperation among industry, government and the public is necessaryin order to carry out effectively an intensive fuel conservation campaign foranthracite. It is apparent that the total production for the year will notequal the demand. '

To facilitate an orderly and equitable distribution of anthracite, a con-sumer inventory limitation plan has been adopted in Ration Qnfer 19.

When placing an order for coal, the consumer must tell the dealer theamount of anthracite he used during the base year (April 1, 1942, to March31, 1943), the amount on hand, and the amount the consumer wishes to ac-quire. If this information is furnished orally, it must be confirmed in writingnot later than seven days after placing the order. On and after September20, 1943, no deliveries may be made before the signed statement is received.

ARE OF THE WAR WOUNDEDOur friend Ernie Pyle has been

sick, (not very sick) so he hasbeen telling tus how they care forthe wounded in our army.

In every division there areusually about 15,000 men. Nearly1,000 of these are medical men.Three enlisted first aid men go!with every company. On the bat-tle, field they give all the helphey can. The litter-bearers con-vey the wounded back to the near-'est battalion aid station. - If pos-sible, the injured are carried backat once, but at other- times, cir-cumstances make this impossible,and the first aid men cannotreach them. . Sometimes thewounded have to lie for hourson t h e battle field before helpreaches them.

When once the litter-bearers•et the wounded off the battle

field, the care is excellent. Thebattalion aid station is the firststop in his journey to the rear enroute to a hospital. Do not im-agine that this aid station is a tentequipped with all necessary in-struments for all kinds of surg-ery. By no means.

This aid station is anywhere under the sky where the battal-ion surgeon and his assistant hayefound it most convenient for thestretcher-bearers to bring t h e.vounded. It is equipped with asurgeon's medical chest. There isa staff of two doctors and 36 en-listed men. They are so near thebattle field that they are usuallyunder fire. s

As soon as a wounded man isbrought to the station, he istreated according to the gravityof his wounds. Morphine andblood plasma are administered toenable him to stand the trip backto the hospital, where they areprepared for all types of surgicalwork. Temporary splints are ap-plied to injured arms and legs butif the abdomen is ripped open,that must be operated upon to;ave his life.

From this first -aid station, thewounded are sent by ambulance,-;ruek, or any other available con-veyance farther back to a collect-ing station where there are someDents, staffed by five doctors and

100 enlisted men. Here they givethe sufferers more morphine anddo necessary operations. Fromhence they are transferred.by am-bulance to a clearing station.

These medical units move withthe division to which they.are at-tached, and are always ready forservice to the wounded where-ever they are fighting.

The first hospitals are 40 milesor more back of the fighting.They belong to no division, buttake men from them all. The far-ther back you go the larger theybecome and when it is possible,after all necessary aid has beengiven to the wounded' (as in Sic-ily), they are taken from the landhospitals and evacuated into hos-pital ships.

From Sicily, they are sent tosplendidly equipped hospitals in.Africa.

Pyle was sent to a clearing" sta-tion which consisted of five doc-tors, one dentist, one chaplain and60 enlisted men. It was contained,in six large tents and had an X-ray room. The mess was outdoorsunder a tree and the personnel allslept outdoors.

Civilians Or Soldiers?"It -will simply not be possible to sustain our

air armadas in the skies over Germany andItaly and the Japanese-held islands of the Pa-cific, or provide our mechanized ground forceswith all that they require, if, at the same time,the demands of an unrestrained civilian con-sumption have to be met at home."So says Ralph K. Davies, Deputy Petrol-

eum Administrator, who adds . that it isgoing to take literally oceans of 100-oc-tane and other highly-specialized enginefuels to fight this war to a victorious con-clusion.

There is no American,, worthy of thename, who will hesitate a minute in mak-ing a decision if the conclusion of Mr. Da-vies is correct. Consequently, figures asto the needs of our armed forces and ourproduction are interesting.

Although he does not state them in gal-lons, the official gives us percentages,showing the proportion of our production,east of Rocky Mountains, required by thearmed forces. In 1942- it was only 12.5per cent but it increased to 21.4 per centin the first quarter of this year and to 23.1per cent in the second quarter.

For the last half of this year it is estim-ated that our armed forces will require30.6 per cent and, in 1944, 37.6 per cent.While these figures are not in gallons theyindicate the vital importance of oil in war-fare.

Experts say that a heavy bombing raidon the Ruhr uses 600,000 gallons of fuel,that an armored division burns 18,000gallons an hour and that a battleship re-quires 1,000,000 gallons for a short cruise.

While it is true that completion of .the"Big Inch" pipeline delivers 3.00,000 bar-rels of crude, about 12,000,000 gallons aday, this relieves traffic congestion but itcannot solve the problem of demand thatexceeds supply.

We call attention to these facts becauseit is about time that motorists throughoutthe United States end their grumblingabout gasoline restrictions. The nation hasmillions of men, engaged in a war againstbrutal enemies, and oil is the product thatmakes possible modernized war. The onlyquestion is whether we should give pref-erence to men in battle or motorists athome, and there is only one answer.

Of course, there are "loyal" citizenswho will tell you that they are for the war,that they would not do anything to delaydelivery of oil to men in battle and thatif it became necessary they would willing-ly park their motor vehicles for the du-ration.

At the same time these pseudo-patriotswill tell you that there is plenty of oil andgasoline, that the shortage is due to in-efficient administration and, more likelythan not, they will regale you with talesof soldiers who use; gasoline carelessly,even to the driving of automobiles inNorth Africa.

This is a sorry effort to cover up theirdetermination to use gasoline and oil.Such assertions should not blind averageAmericans to the facts, that modern war-fare requires oil for transportation, thatthe absence of oil is the difference be-tween life and death for thousands of oursoldiers and might be the difference be-tween victory and defeat.

Colonel Gillette stresses "the rapid andeffective handling of the wounded on the(battlefield," says that the majority of cas-es are in a good, clean hospital withintwenty-four hours. He reports few mal-aria incidents and that infected woundswere the exception. /

The Colonel reports that he was ques-tioned about our air battles in the Solo-mons, in view of the fact that the Japslose so many more planes than we lose..He says that "if anything, we are under-estimating our superiority." '• He termedthe operations on Munda, "as completeand successful a coordination of,sea, landand air forces as anything the Axis hasclaimed to have done."

Decisive Air Battle UnderwayThe next few months should produce

something of a decision in the 'great strug-gle that impends over Germany where theNazis are making every effort to breakup the crushing aerial offensive that issteadily blasting industrial and other vitalareas.

For some time, German aircraft facto-ries have been concentrating on the man-ufacture of fighter planes which they hopewill retard the war program of the Allies.

American airmen, on a recent air raidover Germany, describe a new air weap-on, which is apparently a rocket gun orconcussion-firing apparatus which shootsstrings of twenty-five to thirty black balls—about the size of a baseball.

First Lieutenant Joseph Armanini, ofCalifornia, tells of a German plane firingthe strange objects '.'like chains." He saysthat "all twenty-five or thirty black ballswould explode together," and while hisship was not hit, he thought it possiblethey "may have hit some of the other For-tresses we saw spinning down or explod-ing."

The string-of-balls, it is said, are firedby a rocket gun slung under the wings ofMesserschmitts but their effectiveness isunknown. Our planes have met them onlyonce.

Another innovation, put into defensiveuse by the Nazis, is the flying gun plat-form, mounted on Junkers-88 and carry-ing two 37-mm. or 40-mm. shell firing can-non. These twin-engined fighters -fly ;onthe fringe of Fortress formations., well outof range, and pop away without dangerof return fire.

There are signs that the Reich has notbeen able to build fighter planes in suf-ficient number to meet the increasing aer-ial offensive. Consequently, returningbomber crews report a great variety offighter types in use against them.-

The Luftwaffe, it appears, is in the po-sition of the RAF in the late Fall of 1940and much depends upon the ability to de-velop adequate defense against the ter-

Losing Enthusiasm To Die"There is considerable evidence," de-

clares Colonel Douglas M. Gillette, "thatthe individual Japanese soldier is losinghis enthusiasm to die for the Greater EastAsia Co-Prosperity Sphere."

The Colonel has just returned from ninemonths of war in the Solomons where hecame in contact with the enemy in heavyjungle fighting.

While the Japanese ai;e supposed to bemasters of jungle fighting, Colonel Gillettesays that, man for man, our boys are morethan a match for the best troops the Jap-anese have produced up to this time. Heinsists that they met the best Imperial sol-diers and "beat them at their own game."

The Army veteran stressed the difficul-ties of jungle fighting where everythinglooks like everything else" and where itis possible for the enemy "to dig in amongthe roots of huge web-footed trees." Eventhe cocoanut logs and.coral pillboxes, aft-er being exposed to the weather and cov-

An enthusiastic, amateur songwriter from Trenton reeentlysent the Governor printed copiesof three songs he wrote which hecalled respectively: "You knowthere's no loving in Heaven""King* of the Bright Stars" and"Wondering Star."

The writer was evidently proudof the latter song (because hewrote under date of August 30:

Results Justify PolicyThe decision to make Europe the pri-

mary battlefield was taken many monthsago, but there continues to appear; fromtime to t i m e , elaborate discussions de-signed to persuade the people that thispolicy has been or should be abandoned.

It is difficult to understand why anyperson should suspect a: change in the at-titude or think that Germany ?is not ourNo. 1 enemy.

Certainly, the epochal decision to con-centrate major striking forces againstthe Axis in Europe has borne abundantfruit.

Italy has been so badly mauled t h a tMussolini has given up and the continu-ance of that nation in the struggle, is moreofficial than belligerent.

The German-Army has been cracked foythe Russians and German economy hasbeen seriously damaged by t h e Anglo-American aerial offensive.

With our enemies feeling the effect ofpresent war strategy it is logical to con-

jtinue the pressure until decisive resultsare obtained. Whether these come in 1943or in 1944 is uncertain, but that they arenot far away is plain.

were una\yar.e:of their importancebefore theyi.changed reformatoryuniforms-;fof'khaki and blue. •

John (Colt, .State Parole Direc-tor, is.proud of the fine record be-ing made by. the 1,600 New Jer-sey parolees in the United States'Forces. A former soldier, Prince-ton University professor, banker,State- Relief Director, and all-around fine fellow, who never failsto exude the fine spirit of Old Nas-sau, Colt is loved in turn toy theboys who hurdled civilian life ina broad jump from tr e reforma-tory to the armed forces to morethan regain their place in society.

Thus far, six New Jersey pa-rolees have been killed in action;three died in .service; two are miss-ing after their ships were tor-pedoed. One former reformatoryinmate is now a Lieutenant in "theEngineering Corps; four othersare staff sergeants; four are tech-nical sergeants; one is a mastersergeant and sixteen are sergeantson their way up. Twenty-threeothers have reached the rank ofcorporal, while another is ChiefCommissary .Steward in the Navy.

Two parolees have been deco-rated for distinguished service un-der fire, one with the distinguishedservice medal and one with thePurple Heart. Another parolee, asergeant bombardier, is a prisonerof war in Germany, having bailedout of a burning flying fortresswith four others on his fourteenthbombing trip over Germany.

One wounded khaki clad paro-lee exemplifies the metamorphosisthat takes place in .a former badboy who dons a soldier's uniform.After being paroled from a re-formatory, he got a jab in a de-fense factory where parole officersreported he was shy of men andmachines.. He quit his job, enlist-ed in the .army, and was shipped tothe South,Eacific. There "he turn-ed out to'.-be one of the greatestJap killers' on Guadalcanal. Heholds the Purple Heart award.

Another boy, tagged while in ar.institution '••' as uncooperative .andunable to.-jget' along with people,was sent :to a camp in the .southafter volunteering for Army serv-ice. There he established a rec-reation program of his own thatturned oqt jto be such a success,he was ^promoted to sergeant andplaced ih charge. He. has sincebeen cited,by the Army for cooper-ation and achievement.

Records maintained1 by DirectorColt are replete with such inspir-ing- datama'de possible by youngmen deprived- of most .advantagesin their youth took-the •wrong-path, only to be jolted back on theright road wh'en their country wasendangered. That's why John Coltis proud,of his boys.

STATE CHAIRMAN:—Repub-licans of ;New Jersey will veryprobably have a new State Chair-man soon. He will be CountyClerk Lloyd B. .Marsh, of Passaic,campaign manager of Walter- E.Edge, Republican candidate forGovernor, and one of the mostastute individuals who has shownup on the political horizon in manyyears.

National iCommitteeman, H. Alex-ander Smith, of Princeton, thepresent incumbent, is expected tostep gracefully down from the im-portant post to make room forMarsh. Smith will remain a rnem-•t>er*of the Republican State Com-mittee and will be at the side ofMarsh during the coming cam-paign. He is the unopposed Re-publican candidate for the StateCommittee in Mercer 'County atthe present, time.

Marsh is credited with eliminat-ing all factional opposition toEdge as (the Republican guberna-torial standard-bearer, a feat thathas been tried in past years with-out success. As Republican StateChairman he will be in a betterposition to organize Republicanscounty iby county during) the gen-eral election campaign.

What are the chances of' theenemy's bombing . the continentalUnited States?

By its failure' to authorize the.War Damage Insurance Corpora-tion to lower its insurance ratesthis summer, Congress has. indi-cated its belief that bombing risksare as great today as they were ayear ago when the Luftwaffe wasat its peak of efficiency. But prop-erty owners, who are organizing

Some justificaition for the con-tinuance of existing rate levels•for another year at least is foundin the fact that one effectivebombing raid over New York Citycould wipe out the entire Wai'Damage Corporation's reservesovernight. That threat cannot beignored even though the immedi-ate risks do not seem to justify acontinued premium based on lastyear's risks. Still, the complete co-operation of policyholders couldbe won for any aspect of this prob-lem if they were assured of amultual return upon their fundswhen the war is over.

Claims for Pearl Harbor andPhilippine damages have already-been paid out of the funds of the

Lucky Penny Goes. To War 4th Time

It Started Military CareerDuring Civil War.

METROPOLIS, ILL.—A talisman,now carried by Arnold R. Kuglerin the marines, is going into battleas a good luck charm for the fourthtime.

An 1855 United States penny, itstarted its military career with Ru-lus Cullorn in .the Civil war. . It re-ceived its baptism of fire at Sbilohand went through the siege of Vicks-burg and with Grant's army intoTennessee. Whep the war was over,Cullom returned to his home andput his "lucky penny" away for safe-keeping along with other battlerelics.

When American soldiers werecalled in the Spanish-American war33 years later, Cullon gave his talis-man, to his nephew, W. P. Bunn.Young Bunn went through the Span-ish-American war in the Caribbeanarea, seeing many of his comradeskilled or injured or die* of disease,yet he'came through the war un-scathed.

Nineteen" years later,, Bunn waswatching Yankee soldiers embarkfor France to fight in World War I.Simon Korte, now a retail merchantin Metropolis, asked Bunn if he hadanything that had been carriedthrough the Spanish-American war.And the copper coin went oft to wara third time.

Korte fought at the front in Franceand was with the army of occupa-tion in Germany. When he returnedto Metropolis he handed bacic toBunn the coin that had kept himuninjured and safe through threeyears of service.

Bunn, now an overseer at FortMassac State park near Metropolis,consented to give the good luck tokento Arnold Kugler when he asked forit. Kugler was Illinois state assist-ant superintendent of parks beforehis enlistment in the marines.

Bunn says he doesn't think he issuperstitious, but— ;

"You just watch," he admonished."Kugler will get his share of Japsor Nazis and then he'll come homasafe and sound, the 1855 penny inhis pocket. I hope the coin doesn'thave to charm some soldier throughanother war."

By ROY HILLiGOSS little prickingsWendy stood at the window. I heart . . .

bea-an in her

watching1 the 'Stehbins boy in mes-senger uniform come pedallingdown the street. Her freckled,turned-up nose, that Cliff had likedto kiss almost as much as hersweet, eager young lips, pressedflatter against the pane, and she•wondered idly whom the telegramwas-for.

Pretty soon, she thought,there'd be a girl replacing theBtebbins boy, because he'd beturning' in that blue uniform fora khaki one. And thinking that.Cliff came strongly into her mindagain, and the cold panic sweptover her. Her slender hand weni.-jto the front of the soft blue sweat-er that was just a little loose onher budding .figure, and her fingerspressed in, squeezing the wedding-ring- that hung under there fromher suddenly aching throat.

Dear God, she thought, almostin prayer, what will I do? Everynight, for the long hours that shelay awake, tossing, turning, tor-mented, it was a prayer.

"Wendy!" That was her moth-er, calling- down from the attic, i"Wendy, isn't it about time you |telephoned the caterers?"

Wendy's knees went weak andshe sank slowly down on the win-dow seat, her fingers gripping thecushioned edge until they felt thewood (beneath. It was so closethen, to the 30th, and she still had-n't decided what to do.

.She touched the wedding ringbetween her small young breastsagain. Cliff's ring. Cliff . . . Pri-vate Gariton . . . her husband.And inobody knew. Not even hermother. Especially not her moth-er, who at the moment was gettingeverything ready for the weddingshe had arranged. For the 30th.Between Wendy and Henry La-throp.

How different it might havebeen, Wendy thought, if she hadever been able to confide in her•mother. .But there was a self-sufficiency, a preoccupation withher own affairs, a take-for-granted'attitude in Ethel Lewis . . . abouther marriage, even her husbandand Wendy . . . that made her al-most a stranger. At least unap-proachable. Wendy's father feltit, too; when he was not at the of-fice, he was in the garden or thebasement greenhouse.

The most beautifully run, andthe coldest house in town. Yet,there was nothing of family aboutthe iLewises; and that was one ofthe reasons, Wendy knew, why shehad wanted .Cliff so much and hadbeen willing to marry him eventhough he was leaving at once foroverseas; the reason, too, that her

^mother knew nothing- about it now.It had ibeen as much not knowing-how to tell as being afraid; andnow it was too late.

If only Cliff were home, itwould be so easy; she wouldn't^beafraid of anything or anyone. Butshe hadn't even heard from him inweeks. His last word had beenout on her very doorstep^ his mur-mured, "I'm going so far away,my darling; yet you'll be so near,because I love you so." Wordsthat told her everything, yet noth-ing.

Right out on her very doorstep., . . where the .Stebbins boy wasreaching for the doorbell now.

And then Wendy was there,reaching for the yellow envelope."I'll .sign for it, Tommy. Mother'sin the attic and Dad's out."

"Oh, it's for you, Miss Lewis."Wendy's first thoug-ht was that

.this was a fine way to receive one's•own""telegram . . . in sweater andslacks >and flat shoes . . . and thacshe wished she could hurry up andbe -known as Mrs. Gariton -insteadof Miss Lewis. Then the funny

The words had to hit, and diginto her brain before they •finallygtit in there 'and stayed, burning,

For a moment, Ethel Lewiscould only stare, and then shedropped to Wendy's side and heldher very tightly. "Oh, my darl-ing, why didn't you tell me? Why'did you let me make you miserablewith this Henry Lathrop idea?"

to take this. Over and ovei* butit didn't mean a thing because -allthe fine thoughts came from a hud-dled little heap on the windowseat, and stronger than brave |thoughts is the sound of a break-ing heart.

There seemed to be hours ofdull, aching' misery in that dark-ened room, until Wendy heard thekmp switch on and felt a handon her trembling shoulder, andheard her mother say, "Heavens,1child, what's wrong?" And thenthere was the crumpling' sound ofthe telegram being picked up andread.

"Cliff Gariton? Oh, what ashame! But, Wendy . . . Wendy,why should this come to you?"

Nothing mattered no'.v. Notic-ing in the world could ever mat-ter. And Wendy lifted her headand looked at her mother and .saidvery softly, "Because I'm on his

bleak "and old yeL somehow richand understanding. "You wereafraid to tell me, weren't you.darling? You've never been a'bleto tell me anything. You .andyour father. Jim's not been ableto tell me anything, either, fpr,oh, such a long, long time."

She sighed and smiled a littlesadly. "You didn't know,- dear,that my own marriage was likeyours. It was war and everybodysaid don't, but we did. I was soyoung, like you, and your fatherhad hair like'Cliff's and the samegrin. You've never seen thatgrin. I guess because I seem toforget that it was such a happymarriage and that I wouldn't havewanted one that was any differ-ent. I never told you and I keepforgetting to tell Jim. I've beentoo long running things."

"It's all right, Mother," Wendysaid quietly, glad that the tearswere drying- now on her cheeks."It couldn't have done any good,my knowing or your being differ-ent. I've had what I wanted."And nothing can take it away, shethought fiercely; his arms arearound me forever, I'll never stopfeeling his kiss, hearing hisvoice . . . ;

Then she saw her mother get-ting up and going to the door, andtaking something in and turningaround with a queer hopeful smileon her lips. "A telegram for yon,dear."

"Open it, Mother." What did itmatter? A confirmation, no doubt.

"I don't th'ink I have to.But : . ." She opened it then, andread it, and said what her eyes al-ready showed, that Cliff had beenfound and was slightly woundedand was coming home.

And then Wendy was cryingagain, but with a happiness thatfilled 'her heart to bursting andbrought the room alive and thehouse and the whole world! Qh..darling, darling, you're comingback to me! Hurry, hurry. . . !"'I'm so glad," her mother wassaying. "I'm awfully glad. AndI'm glad for the other telegram,too. For my sake."

She looked puzzedly around asif seeking someone, and all thegrayness and indifference and self-sufficiency went out of her face,and she said in a breathless, al-most girlish voice, "Where's yourfather, dear? I want to see him."

"What about, Mother?""Oh, nothing," Ethel Lewis said

shyly. "I just want to see him,look at him. I 'haven't' reallylooked at Jim in a long time."

Estimated IncomeForms Due'-Qn 15th

WOO'DiBiRliDiGE—John E, Man-ning, Collector of Internal Reve-nue for this District, today issueda last minute warning to Federalincome taxpayers that if they fallwithin certain classes they areobliged to • file with the Collector.of Internal Revenue a Declarationof Estimated Income for the yearand to make a payment on the wut-standin gamount' on or befort thiscoming Wednesday. September 15.

It is estimated that about one-third of Federal Income taxpayersare obliged to make this declara-tion. The purpose of the declara-tion is to get all people on the'pay-as-you-go" current tax pay-

ment basis.Generally speaking, those who

are obliged to file are single per-sons subject to withholding whoearn over $>2,7i0i0; married peopleiuibject to withholding who earn:ver $:3,'500i; and people with esti-

mated income sufficient to requirethe filing of an income tax returnincluding over $1.00 from sourcesother than salary or wages sub-ject to withholding1.

People who are requided tomake a declaration but fail to doso will find 10 percent added totehir tax. The penalty for failingto pay an installment when due isan additional $i2.50 or 2iV2 per centadded to the tax, which is greater.

There is also a penalty for mak-ing a substantial underestimate ofthe amount of tax due. Peopleother than farmers whose estimateis more than 2iO per cent off willhave to. pay a penalty of 6 percent on the amount underesti-mated. Farmers are given wideriee-way, being allowed to be 33 1/3off before the same penalty is as-serted, and not being required tofile declarations until Decem-ber 16.

Collector Manning urges everyincome taxpayer to study care-fully the instructions recently re-ceived from him, with a view tomaking certain whether or not- heor she is obliged by the law to filethis September 16th Declarationand make an income tax paymentat that time.

WASHINGTON — I n f e c t e dwith a common German diseasewhen things go 'wrong. Nazis arenow shifting from the brag to thewhine. The editor of the DanishNazi "Faedrelandet" writes: "If,when Germany loses the war, weare to be persecuted because v-eexpressed our political opinionfreely, where is the freedomwhich our opponents say they arefighting for?" Elsewhere he hasbitter thoughts about his support-ers in sunny times, "When stormclouds gather, we merely seacrooked backs of reserved people;crawling away . . . "

An advertisement in an earlierissue offered for sale a used"(Fuehrer" jacket, a brown capand shirt.

Another evidence of Nazi fearsis then new policy of burning thecorpses of then victims. Thus,they have burned the bodies of thePoles recently shot in Warsaw andin the ruins of t h e ghetto, andhave subsequently conscriptedmany Poles foi a. mass scale ex-humation and burning of the bod-ies of victims previously murdereiby the Germans, the sole aim ofwhich is to eradicate the trace?of their crimes. These recent ac-tions of the Germans clearly as-sume the character of those of ?panic-stricken bandit making hislast hurried efforts to destroy alltraces of his bloody deeds.

The poll tax is one of the littleundeistood and popularly under-estimated threats to the war ef-fort. America deserves to know(1) that the poll tax deprives 10,-000,000 of their fellow citizensof the right to vote: (2) that theexistence of a poll tax which keepscitizens from voting impaiis na-tional unity and the nation's wareffort, and (3) that the Axis useothe poll tax to discredit us athome and among millions of Al-lied peoples abroad.

President Roosevelt, WendellWillkie, and all other responsibleleaders of the iNation have calledfor the abolition of the poll tax asone o f , t h e greatest single bar-riers to American war unity. Thepoll tax keeps in a position of urf-warranted power a bloc of Con-gressmen who are not answerableto the people — Congressmen whoon the record do the most to pro-voke disunity. The poll tax keeps

| from millions of our citizens thej experience of g-enuine democraticI processes •— a fact used effective-jly by the Axis to discredit anddishonor us among our friendsand allies. The importance of thepoll tax issue to the war was rec-ognized when in the last Congress,the poll tax requirement was abol-ished for servicemen. In this Con-gress the same logic calls for com-plete and uncompromising aboli-tion1 of the poll tax for all Amer-icans as a war need and a war ob-ligation. Ten million Americansmust be given the right to vote.

•More American women believethat parenthood should be volun-tary and planned than at any timein the country's history, a poll ofwomen indicates.

In one of a scries of questionson topical subjects, Fortune Mag-azine asked women across thecountry, "Do you believe thatknowledge about birth controlshould, or should not, be made

available to all married women?"Of the women interviewed1 84.9"Jranswered affirmatively to thequestion, 1-0% said the informa-tion should not be made available,a n d some 5f/< replied, "Don'tknow."

Commenting on the 84.99c votefor birth control, Dr. J. H. J. Up-ham, former president of t h eAmerican ' Medical Association,declared: "This is a good omenfor post-war Ameiiea. If the pollis an indicator of what •will soonbe a reality, then increasingnumbers of the new generationwill be healthier, happier children

j because they were 'born to par-ents who wanted them and werephysically prepared to have them.1'

Waste and destruction of awholesome nutritious food prod-uct at any time is deplorable.When this occurs at a time whpnthis country is engaged in a glo-bal war when emphasis is placedon production and the conserva-tion of any product which can beused for food, it becomes almostcriminal. Despite this fact, fully2,00'0,000.000 lbs. of bananaaproduced1 in Cential and SouthAmerica have gone to waste dur-ing the past year.

When the war first broke out,the Government commandeeredpractically all shipping. The wat-ers of the Atlantic Coast, the Car-ibbean and further south weremade unsafe by the U-boat men-ace. iShipping is easier now, theU-boat menace > is not so great.Under these circumstances itwould seem that it would be pos-sible for the Government to sparefour or five additional smallboats to transport tropical fruitfrom Central and South America.

Each of these boats couldmake two or three trips a monthbeltween the producing sectionssnd Gulf of Mexico ports. Eachboat could bring 3,00/0 or 4,000tons monthly of badly neededbananas to this country.

If the proper authorities seetheir way clear to spare a fewships for this traffic — which cer-tainly would not seriously im-pede the war effort — it wouldhave a tendency toward convinc-ing the Latin^American countriesthat the Good Neighbor Policy ofthis country is something morethan a lot of words by high-hatdiplomats.
