A LAST RESORT
Federal taxes are sure to increase in some respects as
long as the 'war lasts.* That is the only way in which the
military and other wartime costs of government in the fight-
" ing for and winning of a total victory over the Axis can an^
will be met. There is no doubt about that fact.
. it seems apparent, however that the ten billion, six hun
dred million dollar tax intTease as recommended to congress
by both the President and treasury department won’t be pro
vided by the latter. In fact, it has already'been literally
rejected. That does not mean that there will be no further *
tax increases in the way of legislation during the present
session of Congress; there will be, but hot so large in the ■
aggregate amount as the chief executive or the secretary of
the treasury proposed'and advocited. . ' '
All indications at the present are that the next federal
tax increase to be made will include a five per cent increase
in personal ks well as corporate income and excess profits
taxes, no further increase in the present twenty per cent
withholding tax or a further increase in liquor and tobacco
excise taxes. In the public hearings on tax proposals by the
ways and means committies of the jower house of congress,
it has been evident that while a fedVral tax increase of some
kind must and will be provided for by congress it will be one
which will be somewhat le.ss burdensome in some respects,
. members of Congress believe, that would be the one which
the President and treasury department will seek to have
imposed. • Z
It has been estimated by some of the tax!, experts and
economists in congress that a federal tax increase of approxj-^
mately three billion on corporate and other incomes would
Bufhce for the time being^t least in the way of additional
revenues to meet the war-nme military costs of the nation for
the next year beginning January first.
At the same time that increase would hot, in the opinion
of some members of Congress, have to incluue the Victory tax
- which alffects all personal income of twelve dollars or more'
■ weekly. The end of the Victory tax would eliminate the
names of about nine million persons from the federal tax
Toll. —
Economists in Oongress aver that-better economy in the
regular costs of government, as well as some of those it has
been incurring under lend-lease and other things as a paitt of
its military purpose in the war against the Axis, would offset
in some respects any. actual wartime need and necessity for
greater and greater federal tax increases.
In the background among the last resorts in the way of
tax increases by Congress is a general salw tax, which it is
contended, would yield many billions of dpllars in tax reve
nues annually. However, the administration is opposed to
any duch tax, although sales taxes in the form of excise levies
on many things are in evidence as they have been since the
war began. ' *

FRED WARING’S BROADCAST TO
HONOR CAMDEN AVIATION POST
(Continued from first page)
Eveiy red-blooded American resents reading in the press
and hearing over the radto that watkoxrts of coat miners have
“aroused fear” in government quarters of another general
coal strike. -
' What’s the matter with the government in Washington?
From these reports df “aroused fear’’ it would appear that
Uncle Sam scares easily, becomes frightened, terrified. Frank
ly, isn’t it a heck of a mess when Uncle Sam admits to getting
the shakes over the strike situation.
What about those soldiers, sailors, marines, the men of
our air fleets—are they afraid of the enemy? We venture
an emphatic “No.” And the girls who are enlisting in the
WACs, are they afraid? Again we say “No.”
v^Why then, if our .soldiers, marines, sailors, avkitons our
girl.s In the WA(‘.s arid other wb^meri "brgarirzaUohs, Are not
afraid, why does the big wigs in Washington get that “arous
ed fear” over threatened strikes?
Strikes at a time like this, when we are fighting for civili
zation, are just about tjje blankety blanked exhibitions of un-
patriotism we know of. The government should take drastic
steps to stop them. Cease pussyfooting with these unpatriotic’
men. Give them some of that buck sergeant discipline that
goes with the army, marines and other branches of the
service.
It’s about time Uncle Sam stops fooling in this strike
matter and really giv^'these men who would halt war pro
duction a nice going over. For several.years now we have
realized that politics have given our governing group a weak
backbone. Let’s call it a day and stiffen up.

The nine weeks primary course 1«
a busy one for the Southern Aviation
Cadetw and the most important phase
of his training is his assignment to a
Flight Instructor. It is the ambPlon'
of every aviation., cadet to he able to
fly as well .as his Instructor. He is
friend, counselor, guide and supporter
but he is also the master, the man
who represents near perfection In
the eyes of his sludents. The primary
night Instructor’s words of advice re
main with-the student as long as he
Slves. .
In primary classrooms the cadet ab
sorbs the* knowledge he will need in
the months and years to come. He
Is taught theory of flight, aircraft en
gines. meteoroloifr. navigation, air
craft Identification. He learns what
makw a.n airplane fly from every
angle. He learns about coefficient of
lift, the difference between a spar
and a rib, the principle of a turbo
supercharger, how to read a teletype
weather sequence, how to find his way
to Tokyo and how to distinguish
enemy palnes from Allied aircraft af
ter he gets there. The student* at
Southern Aviation school attend two
fifty minute classes dally.. They- use
technical manuals, work sheets, onte-
books, training films, sectional charts
and the actual parts of airplanes—
control surfaces, propeller blades,
magnetos, longerons, crankshafts, air
speed indicators. They are taught by
experts who know their subjects
thoroughly. Without this knowledge
their flight training would be worth
less. With this information and ‘‘know
how’* they will become leaders tn the
oh fashing Age of Flight. - ^
When the cadets* worries are over
for the day and he climbs Into his
bunk In the barracks, the mainten
ance men are at their busiest. All
night they change engines, drain oil,
fix tall wheels, change spark plugs,
pump brakw fluid, patch fabric, tigh
ten instruments, remove wings, repair
tires and attend to the billion and one
duties which must be finished btfore
the early-morning arrival of students
and liK'Umotors. The - school’s ine-

of ’’Switch off, gas on, throttle clos
