.,W ,Awil29, i Congressional Views fffsg CHAUNCEY •. BEEtt XJSE OF COLLEGES URGED FOR WAR ACTIVITIES: There has been considerable criticism among the "economy bloc" in Congres£ at the f4Uure of the Adminfetration to utilise the facilitieaofferad by many small colleges throughout the United States as training centers tpr WAACS, WAVES, WAMS and $PARS. It is contended that the use qf college campuses and dormitories Would be not only more pleasant for the young women but more economical to the Government than the expenditure of fabulous sums for apartment houses and hotels in large cities. fAX PROBLEM MAY BE SOON CLEARED UP: OB May &, the House of Representatives will again tackle the controversial tax problem. The overwhelming Itoittment in the nation is for a payas-* re-go system. Hiia could have been Accomplished in a simple manner by the adoption of the Carlson tn which would have merely pushed tax calendar ahead and the taxpayer would have paid on the income for the current year rather than the year before. The fear on the •art of some members that under the Carlson bill some of the "big fellows" weald unduly benefit in the event of an early termination of the war seems unfounded inasmuch as the Carlson bill provided that if the individual income for 1942 was greater than that of 1943, the taxpayer must pay the greater amount. At any rate the people do not appear to be losing sleep over whether the "big fellows" have to pay part or all of last year's taxes when Die nation goes on a current tax paying basis, but many taxpayers in the smaller brackets contend that they themselves cannot pay two years' taxes in one year and continue to purchase war bonds and support their families decently. \ WIRES CROSSED: The proposed construction of the Florida Barge Canal recently received a set-back by the House Appropriation Committee. The amount desired was 44 milli ons of dollars and the project was urged to relieve the fuel oil shortage in the eastern seaboard states. *n>e Committee in considering this item relied upon the information furnished it by one of the ranking officials of the office of Petroleum Administration. That official said that the Canal would not be necessary because the new pipe lines would give the East all the oil it needed. The Committee eliminated the item. After it was killed Secretary Ickes came back and said that the Petroleum official's statement was "all wrong." An effort will be made in the Senate to restore the amount in the bill. McCULLOM LAKE (By Marie McKim) Burzinsld was surprised at a skewer given in her honor on April 20 at the home of Mrs. Leo Sales. Those who attended were Mrs. Walton, Mrs. Grotthuss, Mrs. Pyritz, Mrs. Orr from McHenry, Mrs. Kiddleson, Mrs. Cable, Mrs. Kaminslci, Mrs. Rudin, Mrs. Sawdo, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Krickle and Miss Willet. Those who were invited, but could not attend, were Mrs. Do ran, Mrs. Huska, Mrs. Horn, Mrs. McDonald, Mrs. Skotnic, Mrs. Schmitt and Mrs. McKim. Cake and caffee were served. Mr. and Mrs. Hicks of Chicago spent Easter at their daughter's home, Mr. and Mrs. Doran. Mrs. Doran reports that she received seven letters from Bob in the last two weeks. In one of them he said he had been released from the hospital and was feeling fine> Also, he is looking forward to a furlough before Christmas. Staff Sergeant Math Hicks, coushi of Bob Doran, is home on leave from overseas to attend officers' training school. He reports to Mrs. Doran that he and Bob had been corresponding although they were 1,000 miles apart at that time. Sergeant Hicks will, spend a few days here with the Dorans. Ethel Smith, who had been expecting her husband home from the south for Easter, anxiously awaited a message from him. The other evening the phone rang. When she answered it a female voice said, 'TOiis is Western Union caning." Naturally Ethel was all excited and asked the lady to please wait while she turned off the radio. On retujjjiing to the phone she found, it was only Jean McDonald playing a joke on her, who gave he»~ self away by laughing. I understand Jean has played that joke on other* before. Keep your chin up, Ethel, you can get back at our practical joker. Is that nice, I ask you? During Baater week Mrs. Pyrits suddenly made up her mind she would like to have her hair done. After calling all four beauty parlors for an appointment without any success, she called yours truly for advice. I advised her in the future to call for an appointment a week in advance or have Otto shampoo her hair. Too bad, Emma. . Syd Smith and Leo Sales spent Easter with their families. The former will be here for some time (we hope), the latter had to return to East St. Louis, where he is employed. Dave Boyle is in Mississippi visiting his brother, who is a second lieutenant in the signal corps there. The Artery family has returned to their home here. Both children are attending school here now. Billie Reid, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. Reid, spent Friday and Saturday with his parents here. He left Sunday morning to return to duty in Wisconsin. Army life certainly agrees with him, he put on some extra pounds. Miss Pamorea Collis, girl friend of ~w FLYING C0L0RS- (VHE MARYLAND STATE ^ FLAG V? ONE OF THE OCOS9T FLAG? IN TUB WORLD/ IT V?

Certainly, we will. May I suggest that I think the proper place for this would be on the beach? There are at present sixteen boys Who lived here the yffcr round before they entered the service and there will be many more in the near future. TTiere are also a number of boys in the service whose parents have a home here. I would also like to suggest that we have an American flag *t the beach, at least during the summer. I know I will be criticised for this by some. What's a little criticism wh*»n our boys are giving their all for America? We have eOme to know star neighbors pretty well. JOHNSBURG B.

Six juveniles Our V Washington " --Bj»-- National Editorial s ents in ratignfc. ;he spirit Washington, April 28--Though a large percentage of the nation's lawmakers are absent on their Easter recess, a considerable number remain in town in an inquiring mood. Several investigations, which require time and planning, are conducted while the main tent is closed. Administrative agencies, which hare been under the Congressional searchlight as to policies and activities, had a slight breathing spell from the constant summons to appear at Capitol Hill. The legislators expect to retgrn May 3, mentally refreshed from toeir conferences with home folks. 1*1--iiUint Roosevelt stated that his trip gave him new insights and an uplift as to what folks outside Washington were thinking and doing in the war effort. It would be just a rank guess to say what the vacations of the Chief Executive and the solons will exercise on the policy-makers. Revelation of the Japan atrocities against captured Army flyers have riveted attention on developments the Pacific theater of opera1 Quick sampling shows that the pose has intensified the war among the armed forces and civilians. Public opinion is expected to force a change in the ratio of military and naval supplies to the Far East. The home front has been told to prepare itself for additional shocks in disclosures as to heavy casualties in the North African campaign and tremendous losses of men, ships and material as a result of Axis U-boat activity in the Atlantic. A Senate committee reported that the sinkings outnumbered our ship construction in 1942 and a higher toll is anticipated during the next four months from intensified undersea attacks. Labor unions are working with might and main in an effort to force Manpower Chief McNutt to backtrack on his latest edict practically freezing all labor on the job. The effect of the order is to prevent a huge labor turnover resulting from workers peddling their services to the highest bidder. Union leaders protest the taboo on war workers changing jobs at higher pay. On the other hand, many employers, who have been harassed to the point of suspending operations by labor pirating, expect that the War Manpower Commission regulations will provide them with a breathing spell and an opportunity to concentrate on the output of essential materials. The newest ukase permits labor to transfer, from non-essential business to the 37 industries listed as essential to the war. TTiere are other loopholes which allow workers to shift to other places of employment upon a proper showing to the U. 8. Employment Service. The union chieftains express their irritation at the issuance of the regulations without consultation with their groups. Economic Stabilization Director Byrnes has also taken the stand that no pay raises above the 15 per cent living cost formula will be approved, which indicates John L. Lewis and others demanding boosts will find it hard going with their current program. Among the many subjects upon which the visiting legislators seek enlightenment from the folks is the public reaction to controversial income tax plans. The stalemate in the House will only be settled when the "people's choice" have a picture of this sentiment. The "pay-as-you-go" program with its variations is pending in/the House Committee on Ways and Means where tax revenue measures originate. The Congress and the Treasury experts are at odds about several features. The whole issue is taking on a strong political hue which complicates efforts at an early compromise. Growing concern is felt as revenue collectors report an alarming rate of tax delinquencies among citizens who have enjoyed high wages and saved nothing with which to meet their tax obligations. War contract brokers, who have "made hay" with government "red tape," find themselves under new restraints. Expose of enormously fat fees for relatively trivial services brought about House passage of a bill placing brakes on their tactics. While the bill does not outlaw the payment of contingent fees or commissions, it is proposed to provide the Departments with authority to keep these profits within reasonable bounds. Though no evidence of actual impropriety was found by the House investigation, the circumstances under which the brokers prospered were such that the legislators wanted certain safeguards erected to prevent profiteering scandals. If the Senate approves the House measure it will be impossible for any Washington contract agent to receive more than $25,000 any year. Where the income exceeds this amount the government will have a right to consider the agency a sub-contractor and renegotiate.

Ordinary crimes accruing under Federal jurisdiction, like violations of liquor laws and interstate thefts of automobiles, have decreased lately. However, the total number of crimes is going up because the decrease in the ordinary type has been more then offset by types of crime related to the war.
