His name Is Tommy C.avagan. Perhaps that name does not mean a thing to any of you. But to the old timers of ring history It recalls memories of the good old days when boxing was on the level. Tommy, now located in Cleveland, where he is identified with the Cleveland Press was back in Milwaukee renewing acquaintances with old friends, yours truly included. During his heyday Tommy fought most of the great battlers of his weight. Tommy today is no longer the swashbuckling cocky battler that worked his way along the fistic ranks from 1908 to 1920 starting as a featherweight and ending up as. a middleweight. Qeorge Chip, Frank Klaus, Harry Greb, Gus Christie. Ai Balzac, Battling Levinsky and others of their ilk. including On-* Tunney. They all felt the sting of Gavagan's wallop. It was while he was serving Uncle Sam as a soldier in France that Tommy and Gene, tangled. They met in Northern France after the Armistice and Gavagan with typical Irish wit? and nerve?said to the referee, as he was given instructions "Shall I walk to my._ corner after knocking him down or shall I stand over him?" Tommy didn't knock Gene down, but did get a draw, which, later events prov.vj was something to brag about. Ar*er :he war Tommy returned to Cb v.-iand settled down to a steady job ii.i was married. Eight years ugo M - Gavagan died, leaving Tommy w:':: Little Tommy, now ten years of ,iuv .- hatched it ever since" said G.iv-rr.in" Each year, we make a armnd the country.

C., September 20 j The Second Revenue Rill of 1040 pass-, ed the Senate Thursday by a party vote of 46 to 22 The bill la designed | to spoed the National Dotenso program and will Increase existing corporation taxes and Impose an excessprofit* levy. Disavowed by tho Treaaur.v and vitally different in some respects from the House-approved bill, tho measure now goes to Conference. Juat before passage; the Sena to added to it by voice vote the Oonally war-profits tax, which would boost rates on individual Incomes to 88 per cent upon declaration of war. This proposal, is expected to be rejected by tho House conferees. The Drown amendment, removing tax exemption from future issues of Federal. State and local securities, was turned down by vote of 44 to 30 after nearly three days' debate. Although the proposal had been indorsed in the 1940 Democratic platform. Administration leaders indicated that they thought it had no place in the present bill. As it finally passed the Senate, the complex bill embodies three distinct aims: Speeding of national defense. This It undertakes to do by suspending tbe profit limitations on ship and aircraft construction in tho Vlnson-Trammell Act, and by granting special tax privileges to private concerns building new plants for defense purposes. Specifically, these firms would be allowed to deduct from taxable Income 20 per cent of the cost of their new plants for each of the next five years. (A much longer period to wrlto off new plants would uormally be required). Preventing corporations from growing rich on the defense program, by Imposing tax on so-called excess profits. This tax, In the Senate bill, would yield a sum variously estimated at from $115,000,000 to $25,000 000 for tho current year. Raising reveuuo. Tho Senate bill would accomplish this purpose through both the excess-profits levy and a flat increase of 3.1 per cent in tbe noimal corporation income tax, which would yield this year a maximum of $240,i 000.000. The following information will no doubt prove of value to those coming I within the conscription ages (21 to 36): Q. What are a man's chances or being called in the draft? I A. For a man between the ages of I 21 to 35. inclusive, the chances are! about one in 40 that his number will turn up In the calls between now and the first of January. Chances are one in 18 that his number will be drawn 1 in the first year, For men who are eligible to serve?no dependents, no physical disability?the chances are about < ne in 12 of being sent to camp before January: about one in five of being sent during the first year. Q. Are younger men more likely to be called than older ones? A. Yes. Army offic ials say they J will register younger men first, audi call a greater proportion of them. Q. Will all sections of tho country be called on equally for men? A. Yes, Quotas are to fixed lor each state and territory, and subdhislons thereof, on the basis of tho num-l her of men liable for training and not deferred. Credits will be- given for men from each community who have volunteered for some branch of the armed forces. Q. How long must a man serve" A. Twelve months. However, if I Congress finds the national Interest is imperiled, men who are In service at that time must remain until the per-j iod of peril ends. I Q. What happens rt the end of the I year ^ A. A man goes back to civil life, 1 but remains a member of one of the reserve forces for 10 years or until he is discharged, and is subject to &| short period of additional training each year. If he prefers, a man may serve two additional years in the Army or National Guard and then be exempt from reserve duty. Q. Can a man who is dratted choose what branch of service he shall enter? A. No. Only volunteers have a choice, and even then they may enter their favorite branch only if that branch la willing to take them. Q. Can a man volunteer after hej has registered? A. Yes. Q. Can ho volunteer for only one year? A. Yes. However, tho Army and Navy will also continue to recruit volunteers for longer terms. Q. If a man volunteers does he get all tho benefits having to do with restoration of Jobs, etc., the same as the man who is drafted? 1 . _ Camden Preparing For Record Breaking Season (Continued from first page) Ostend, Mrs. Prank M.
