Washington' Editorial Washington, October 8--Noteworthy is the return of the third branch of the government--the judiciary--to its nprmal functioning. The, Supreme Court sits in its -fall term with a now Chief Justice and two additional Roosevelt •amxrintees (ex - Senator Byrnps and e*Attorney General Jack, son) reporting for their lifetime jobs. The speculation as to the trend of opinions ranks second only, to the queries, osto when our country will be tatwar." The White House proposals for extension of social security beptfits and for revision of the Neutrality Act gives Congress a sizeable chore. Marked changes in defense agency policies to speed up the production of armament also keepe the capital from a hum-drum life.

There have been several prosecutions in this direction. The collection of taxes from a nuaithe professional forecasters are at cf items in popular use has protheir wit's end trying to gauge what comes next in government policies. Whatever real. motives prompted President Roosevelt to attempt a white-wash of Russian policies toward religion, the facts that he has stirred something more than a tempest in a teapot. At a time when Christian faiths were disposed to overlook the unsavory Communistic record in regard to freedom of worship, the White House statement fanned the embers of resentment and aroused emotions which will affect voting of Lend-Lease aid to the embattled Reds. It may have been intended as a diplomatic stroke to force the Stalin government to soften its hostility to religion as a price for American aid. Militant churchmen of all faiths have made it an issue which may have serious political repercussions. The inference of an (jld proverb that "report makes crows blacker than they are" is presumably intended to place the Stalin government in a dilemma of making good the President's explanation. Meanwhile, the fur is flying in church circles and Russian atrocities are recalled in letter to Congress. With all the intensity of feeling that accompanies the mud throwing between the isolationists and interventionists, government prosecuting agencies find themselves tangled in mixed> demands for action. * Wendell Berge, Assistant Attorney General in charge of the enforcement of criminal laws relating to national defense, explained to American lawyers a day or What a vided another problem for government agencies. Retailers and others have been warned not to pyramid price advances or. the prate** that it represents new taxes. The Intersil Revenue Bureau h$s specifically , stated they will prosecute any attempts of this sort. Every effort is made to publicize the exact percentage of the new taxes so that buyers will not be misled into accepting price advances which are beyond the actual tax levy on a particular item. This policy places a heavy burden upon sellers because production eosts of commodities have actually advanced, but for some reason or other the boost has not yet been passed to the price to th£ consumer. The Federal goveWMntpt is already engaged in legal Controversies with various states the application of a consumer's tax on the use, storage or other consumption of goods purchased outside the state. The situr ation has been aggravated by attempts of state governments to levy state gross receipts taxes-and other simliar tfexes measured by the payments a contractor for defense materials receives from the government in reimbursement for his expenditures for materials and labor. It is hoped that at an early date this troublesome issue between the Federal government and t|»e various States will be settled by the Supreme Court.
