TiM fa "The Th-efhohe Houa," mry Momdmy, 7 P.M, WMAQ Vi •i * ' " 2 * ... rf • Milker's NediriM Dr. Frederick T. Becker of Duluth, Minn., reported studies of four cases of milker's nodules, an occupational disease of persons who milk cows. He determined that the disease, which consisted of small swellings on the hands, came from sores on the cows' udders. He further founc| that the germ concerned was not cow pox, bovine form of smallpox, that the nodules were easily cured in four to six weeks and produced only slight pain and mild itching, and that one attack immunized against- the diWMC. Tax Study Necessary Congressional demands for a complete revision of the nation's tax structure are being voiced in both the Senate and House, and it is expected that when the 77th Congress convenes, the entire tax situation will receive thorough study. Despite the fact that an Excess Profits Tax Bill, upon which the Congress has spent about two months of consideration, has been sent to the President for his approval, a large number of the Senators and Representatives feel that the Bill which has just been passed is ambiguous in numerous respects, and that it will neither produce sufficient revenue nor prevent huge war profits. A thorough fundamental revision, qf the entire tax system appears to be Vitally necessary. The Yellow Menace The Department of State expressed no great alarm over the formal alliance of Japan with the axis powers or the speech of Japanese Premier Prince Kcnoye, which has been interpreted hs r "warning" that the United States must keep "hands off" in the European struggle. The reason is that our government was fully aware, before the pact was so dramatically executed, that such a secret alliance already existed. According to reports, the administration program calls for stronger economic sanctions against the Japanese. Machinery, machine tools and scrap iron have already been embargoed and it is rumored that petroleum products of all kinds will soon follow. Tn addition to this, many other metals which are so essential for the manufacture of war materials, may likewise he cut off from the Nipponese. After all there seems no good reason why raw materials that go to make up munitions of war should be sent to a country that hints that they may be sent back to us some day in the form of bullets and shrapnel. Go Slow, Uncle Sam! The proposal of certain pressti**' groups that we immediately sell give to Great Britain a certain number of our "flying fortresses" and other defense equipment, for their use against Hitler, should have careful and mature consideration. While the proponents of the plan emphasize the need of haste, it would well behoove Uncle Sam to consider that, while we have a broad expanse of water on each side of us, we also have on the opposite sides of each of those oceans, Powerful nations that are not as friendly as they might be. To strip ourselves of our scant supply of defensive weapons, at least utnil replacements are well on the way, would be most foolhardy. W can't repel invaders with planes and tanks that are "->n order." We Go Home Until? - This will probably be the last of at? views that we will send to our readers for several weeks. It looks as if Congress will next week agree to recess for three-day periods until about the 18th of November. In that event/ each meinJwr will haw the opportunity to return to his respective state, subjeet of course, to being called back to Washington upon three days' notice, if an emergency requires his presence. .V . »v ' s s » V * v > it!#:: Nv^S<Xv'.y:;<X-; - ' •for the Gi&Hfac Sixty'Oni Five- Ptistanger Coupe deltvered of Oetroii Transportation hosed on roil rcrfcw ftate and local taxes (if any), optional equipment and occe«or/e* -- extra.
