An ordinary dollar bill now serves as the party card. The bill's serial number, it is j reported, is registered with party headquarters and accredited to the person carrying it. Thus if a party member is arrested, injured or falls sick no incriminating party card is found on him. Only the dollar bill. If the bill gets spent by mistake, is lost, taken by the police or in any other way misplaced, the member can promptly advise party headquarters, send in the serial number of another bill and he is in good standing again. The plan also saves the Communist party a sizeable printing bill for party membership cards. They let Uncle Sam foot the bill. A Crazy Quilt Bill The House Judiciary Committee of Which the writer is a member, has for the past week been In almost continuous session having before it the Second War Powers Act which has already passed the Senate. This compreh. nsive measufe is, in fact, fifteen Separate and distinct pieces of legislation placed together under separate titles in a sort, of omnibus bill. Several amendment and alterations havr» already been made by the Committee and more may be made when it reaches the House about the 17th otf February. Thr» principal item embraced by the bill authorizes the Federal government to acquire personal property for war purposes by condemnation in the same manner as it now obtains real estate. Another provides for a new five-cent copper piece composed of half copper and half silver. "Oie present coin is threefourths copper and one-fourth nicke!. This bill will make available for war purposes all of the nickel and onethird of the copper in the present five cent piece. Another provision authorizes the assignment of the Civilian Conservation corps to protect war industries and vital civilian utilities and resources. Another liberalizes the naturalization laws with respect to aliens serving in the armed forces of the United States and re-establishes the policy set forth by Congress during the first World War. Another provides for free postage for our armed forces whether located within the United States, in a Territory or possession, or in a foreign country. This latter provision was proposed, sponsored and successfully included in the bill by our own Senator C. Wayland Brooks of Illinois.

Washington, Feb. 11 -- Two legal j holidays this month will provide the I springboard for an intensified moralebuilding program keyed to some of the principles enunciated by the immortal Washington and Lincoln. While Congress is voting billions with little argument, it seems likely that the task of raiisitg the money to pay for war expenses cannot be taken lightly. Coneressional committees assigned to drafting the huge tax-program have been doing spade-wdrk preparatory to public hearings on the bill. Meanwhile, the political kettle is boiling with the President's declaration that he favored election of legislators who had sup- Dortcd the defense program "regardless of party," Many incumbents are away engaged in staging & come-back campaign before the primaries which are due shortly in several states. On the question of morale, it is interesting to note that Congressional guns are blasting at the personnel in the Office of Civilian Defense. This outfit, charged by law with serious problems, has been a hot-bed of dissension. More shake-ups and the possible retirement of Mrs. Roosevelt and Mayor LaGiftirdpi from their O. C. D. posts is in the offing as a means of settling the dust of controversy. The Army is still ducking attempts • to switch actual control to their shoulders on the theory they have too much in their ordinary tasks related to prosecution of the war. The Attorney-General finds himself sitting on a powder-keg with regard to Department of Justice policies and aliens. Mr. Biddle is on the defensive and is desperately endeavoring to prevent the spread of vigilante rule. He sounded another warning this week against mobs. This Cabinet official promised the proper handling of alien enemies and their quick evacuation from vital war zones. Biddle attributes mob rule in times of war as expressions of "frustrated people in an attempt to magnify their own importance or their own fears and prejudices," « With millions of new taxpayers brought into the fold by the 1941 internal revenue bill, the Treasury Department is taking steps to prevent evasions. Ninety rewards were paid last year to informers who reported tax dodgers to the government. The awards amounted to $58,000, while the tax assessments on the evaders represented a collection of $1,309,000. The law permits the Treasury to pay as high as ten per cent of the amount collected from those who neglected to pay Uncle Sam. In 1940 there were only ei?ht million tax returns, but this increased to fifteen million in 1941. It is expected that assessments will be made against the incomes of six million more people this year through the reduction of exemptions. About 17,- 500,000 information returns from employers reporting wages and salaries paid are due February 15 so that the government may check on the returns scheduled for March 15. Believe it or not bootlegging is booming. Government reports show thene has been about a ten percent increase in bootlegging in 1941 over 1940. During the last few months the increase has amounted to'sixteen per cent over 1940. Officials attribute the jump in the illegal distilling to the higher tax on liquor and partially to the increase in spending money avail, able in the South. Government experts say that in many regions people buy more bootleg liquor rather than pay for legal packages upon which high taxes are. levied. Revenue agents stated that the moonshine stills were increasing. Seizures were made of 11.826 stills in the fiscal year of 1941 containing 6 8Q8.078 gallons of mash. Ninety additional investigators have been sent out into the field in an effort to control illicit liouor operations. The fate of the small business man in the war economy is a source of concern for Congress. As an illustration of the widespread interest of the subject, more than thirty Senators have attended hearings of a soecial Senate committee on «m*»'l business problems. A bill h»8 been introduced in an effort to' slteviate the critical situation by establishing a division in the War Production Bo«rd which will specialise in matters affecting smaller enterprises. If is the contention of Senator wBir«w. of Montana, that the allocation of as little as one-half of one per cent of the supply of certain scarce materials would have been sufficient to open the doors of thousands of these small concerns. It is admitted that out o* a to1-? 184.000 small manufacHnor concerns only 45.000 can be adapted or converted so as to be mobilized to some degree-into +he war nroduction program. This would leave 140,000 concerns to carry on civilian production and struggle along the best they can t« '-«ep in business. The Senpfe committee's criticism is also directed against government financing agencies for their failure to support small businesses by extending credit so that they can bid for contracts. The theory in placing a snecial division in the War Production Board is to provide a constant check and guard to see that small firms receive a fair share of war contracts.
