HIGHER TAXES:
Some Frightened
Some business men and indus
trialists, who feared a Truman vic
tory might result in a new “sock-
the-rich” tax program, shivered
anew as they read a statement by
one of the leading proponents of
President Truman’s twice-rejected
plea to impose a modified form of
the wartime excess profits tax.
THE SPEAKER was Wyoming’s
Senator O’Mahoney, Democrat, who
cited the 1929 financial crash as an
argument for boosting taxes on
business profits.
The senator declared that/‘if cor
porate profits of 1929 had been ad
equately taxed, this government
would have been in a much better
fiscal position to meet the depres-
aion.”
He pointed out that corporate
earnings now are piling up at the
same rate as in 1929, although the
companies are bigger. So earnings
are greater than ever before.
HOWEVER, industrialists, lead
ers of the big labor unions, account
ants and economists have been re
quested to give their views on what,
if anything, congress should do about
profits, estimated at a record 20
billion dollars this year.
O’Mahoney proposed that “little
business,” or small, independent
corporations be given special ex
emptions under any excess profits
tax plan.
GOLDEN FLEECE:
Page Jason
The “golden fleece,” subject of
one of mythology’s most romantic,
colorful stories, crashed the world
press by proxy as a result of a
row over custody of its namesake.
The fleece, symbol of one of the
world’s most exclusive orders of
nobility—not even the king of Eng
land is a knight—may be “kid
naped” by the city of Dijon.
THE GOLDEN fleece — of which
•mall replicas were awarded the
knights—was kept in Dijon, France,
after the order was founded by
Philip the Good, Duke of Burgun
dy, in 1429, for several generations
until Mary of Burgundy took it with
her to Austria when she married
Maximilian the Fair.
The fleece remained in Vienna
until the French army recaptured
the city during the last war and
returned the fleece to Dijon. Now,
'Austria is asking for it back. But
the good Burgundians of Dijon
have petitioned the city council to
urge the French government to re
fuse the Austrian bid and to re
tain the fleece in Dijon.

WITCH HUNT:
Pumpkin, Too
Like a delayed Halloween epi
sode, with macabre rather than hu
morous undertones, was the revival
of the spy hunt in Washington. All
the ingredients were there—the
cornfield, the pumpkin, and the
specter of Stalin hovering over the
unsavory whole.
But there was nothing funny in
the situation to the house un-Amer
ican activities committee or to a
federal grand jury seeking to rush
indictments against suspected trai
tors and espionage agents.
THE PROBE committee declared
it had “definite proof of one of the
most extensive espionage -rings in
the history of the United States.”
Bolstering this assertion was discov
ery of microfilm documents, termed
by the committee of "tremendous
importance," which had been re
moved from the state department
tor transmission to Russian agents.
The microfilm was revealed by
Whitaker Chambers, a senior edi
tor of Time magazine, who adfnit-
ted its possession and declared Al
ger Hiss, president of the Carnegie
Foundation for International Peace,
had given it to him for transmis
sion to Russia. Hiss promptly de
nied the charge.
PLACED ON the witness stand.
Chambers said he had not had pos
session of the film during the years
after 1937, until recently, and de
clined to name the persons in whose
hands the film rested before being
turned up in a pumpkin on Cham
bers’ farm.
Meanwhile, Sumner Welles, for
mer undersecretary of state, studied
the microfilm documents, evaluated
their contents, but declined to di
vulge their importance.
Chambers, an admitted member
of a Communist spy ring which op
erated here a decade ago, was
slated for further witness stand ap
pearances, as was Hiss, who main
tains he was never a Russian agent.
Three years after the war
most veterans, by and large,
are firmly established In civil
ian employment, according to
statistics compiled by the Re
search Council for Economic
Security, Chicago. Eighty-nine
of the estimated 14.9 million
living veterans of World War II
were employed as of last Sep
tember. Of these, about 900,000
were on farms and another 900,-
000 in school. About 450,000
were unemployed, .rhile an ad
ditional 300,000 were “resting”
or unable to work.
DEAD END:
Reds Block Way
The struggle for a Berlin peace
dragged wearily on, extended by
Russian establishment of a Com
munist “government” in the Reich
capital.
Demanding elections be held on
a “city-wide basis,” the United
States, Britain and France told the
Soviet union that there could be no
solution to the Berlin impasse un
til the Russians disown the newly-
installed Berlin government. The
terms were clearly expressed in a
note accompanying a list of Soviet
violations of the Berlin constitu
tion that the three powers had sub
mitted for guidance.
ALTHOUGH FORMALLY ad
dressed to a United Nations com
mittee, the note obviously was
meant as a strongly worded warn
ing to Moscow. It indicated that if
what it termed the “illegal body”
in the Soviet sector were not dis
banded, the western powers would
take a series of measures required
by the fact, in their opinion, that
the “legal, unified administration”
of Berlin had ceased to exist.
The western powers placed no
time limit for the Soviet union
to make a decision on whether to
continue collaboration. However,
the tone of the note, as informed
sources stressed, indicated that un
less the normal administrative con
ditions were reestablished "pretty
soon,” a new policy would be
adopted.
FROM BEGINNING to end the
note gave what the western powers
regard as detailed proof that the
Soviets have pursued in Berlin a
policy of systematic violation of all
quadripartite agreements.
POTATOES:
No More Doubt
There was no longer any doubt.
Farmers, at last, had a full-blown
portrait of the American house
wife’s ideal potato. The U. S. de
partment of agriculture even sug
gested that farmers tack it up in
the bam for quick reference.
The department found, after a
survey among 3,300 housewives,
that farmers and shippers should
see to its that potatoes prepared for
market are:
CLEAN, of medium size, marked
by few “eyes,” light in color, un-
dalhaged—and of such quality that
they will cook up soft, mealy and
evenly throughout, without falling
apart.
Housewives like medium sized
potatoes because they rate them
easiest to peel and handle, and best
for judging individual portions—the
all-purpose potato, they say.
The survey showed morp than a
fourth of the householders dis
turbed by “mechanical and han
dling injuries” to potatoes. Said
the department:
“IT IS PRETTY good evidence
that too many potatoes are being
dug and handled with improper ma
chinery and tools, and that the po
tatoes are not properly culled be
fore being sent to market.”
Immediate question to arise: Will
potato growers and shippers do
anything about it?
POOR RICHARD’S ALMANAC
Anniversary Highlights Book's Effect
Poor Richard’s anniversary, Jan
uary 17, 1949, highlights the in
fluence of the almanac on Ameri
can life. Poor Richard vas the
nom de plume of Benjamin Frank
lin, whose Poor Richard Almanac
began the popularity of this type
of publication
In hundreds of thousands of
homes, rural households especially.
the almanac hangs on a peg In
living room or kitchen. There, al
ready, the 1949 almanac has begun
to hide the 1948 and earlier editions.
The almanac is many things to
many people. It carries an anniver-
safy-listing calendar, astronomical
data, information on how to get rid
of rats, raise healthy chicks, how to
stay awake in church.
ROBOT EAR:
New Magic
Alexander Graham Bell wouM
have approved. Science had moved
to make his telephone even mor«
serviceable. Tom Edison also would
have nodded in approbation, fo>
these same scientists had tied to
gether two great contributions t«
living to make their convenience
even more marked, more appre
ciated. ,
A NEW robot ear that hears th«
phone ring and turns on the light
was shown to doctors at the Amer
lean Medical association meeting
in St. Louis.
The ear could be used when no
one is at home to turn on the light
outside the front door. When the
householder got ready to go home,
he could call bis house, and th«
ear would turn on the light. No
one need answer the phone.
THE ROBOT is a box on which
the telephone sets. When the phone
rings, the noise of the bell vibrates
a salt crystal in the box. The vi
bration makes electricity flow in
the salt, and the current is ampli
fied to turn on the light switch.
The box and phone are set in the
circuit with the light to be turned
on. In this way, the ear could be
used to light any lamp in the house,
or outside.
The device comes from wartime
submarine and surface ship detec
tion by sound. Nothing but the vi
bration of a phone bell affects this
ear.
Besides doctors, FBI men have
been getting these ears because
they are on call 24 hours a day
Undertakers are getting them be
cause more people seem to die at
night
RAIN-MAKER:
In the Bag
Perhaps it was in the bag, but
Franklin Fenenga, an archeologist
of California university wasn’t say
ing. All he would say was that he
did have the bag.
THE BAG was a complete rain
making outfit he had acquired from
an Indian whose grandfather was a
medicine man.
The bag and its potentialities
came to light when Kern county, in
the southern part of California’s
central valley, had itsufirst rainfall
in eight months not long ago. Fen
enga vas right there in the middle
of the downpour. And, when he re
turned to Berkeley, the rain came
down there in torrents.
NATURALLY, speculation arose
concerning the properties of the
rain-making bag, for, when the out
fit, including the tail of a beaver,
a bag of snapdragon seeds, a bag
of eagle down, a fossil fish vertebra
and various charm stones and peb
bles, was brought out of storage,
the rain started.
Fenenga had the bag with him
when he entered Berkeley in a
storm. It is now in possession of
the university.

Yule Crooks
Fool Millions
Christmas is a time of joy among
! men of good will—and the busy sea-
j' son for Christmas racketeers.
Every year millions of innocent and
careless people are duped by these
meanest of crooks.
Christmas racketeers take |Sd-
I vantage of people’s normal tenden-
i cy to be charitable during the
Christmas season. These fakers
j often fool the public by imitating
1 famous charities or religious insti
tutions. A few years ago groups of
men and women appeared on the
streets of several cities in blue uni
forms trimmed with red. They used
the word “Army” in their name,
and at first glance appeared to be
members of the Salvation Army.
| With tambourines in hand, they
went up and down residential streets
soliciting at Christmas time. They
took in a lot of money, for them
selves. Not a penny of this money
helped bring a merry Christmas to
a needy home.
Using such ruses, it is estimated
that Christmas racketeers annual
ly. rake in over $100,000,000 during
the Christmas season.
To avoid being “taken in” by
Christmas racketeers, make the
bulk of your contributions to es
tablished agencies, such as the Red
Cross, Community Chest, church-
supervised charities and local insti
tutions which have proved merit
and permanency. <

Christmas Caroling
By Swiss Brethren
One of the most impressive
Christmas customs in Switzerland
is the “Singing at the Fountain,”
by the Sebastian! Brotherhood in
the picturesque spa town of Rhein-
felden.
According to the Swiss writer,
Gottlieb Wyss, the custom had its
origin in 1540, when a plague sweep
ing through many lands visited
Rheinfelden. Twelve men formed
a brotherhood in honor of St. Sebas
tian, promising to pray to him to
safeguard their town from further
distress. They also undertook to
nurse those aulicted by the plague
and to bury its victims.
, Pestilence in medieval days was
ascribed to evil spirits in the wa
ter, and when the Sebastian! Breth
ren make their rounds of seven
fountains on Christmas Eve they
start at the fountain in the “Frosch-
weide” where the plague started in
the sixteenth century. Their song
dates back to the Middle Ages.
For their Christmas Eve singing
the 12 Brethren are dressed in dark
clothes and black silk tophats. As
the name of Christ is mentioned in
their song, they uncover their
heads.

RANKIN:
Outward Bound?
Rep. John E. Rankin (D., Miss.)
one of the foremost house oppo
nents of President Truman’s civil
rights program, faces a strong
fight by northern Democrats in
congress to force him off the house
un-American activities committee
UNDER THE seniority system,
Rankin is slated to become chair
man of the house veterans’ affairs
committee. The attempt to oust
him from the un-American investi
gating group will be based on the
general house rule that the chair
man of a committee may hold only
one committee post.
The northern Democrats will ar
gue that if Rankin accepts the vet
erans’ affairs committee chairman
ship, he should be restricted to
that.

Middle Age Yule
Lasted Many Days
During the Middle Ages people
didn’t like short holidays. Any cele
bration that lasted less than a week
just wasn’t worthwhile.
The entire Christmas season, for
example, was celebrated In equal
fervor with that now shown on
Christmas day. In some lands the
celebration lasted from December
24 to January 6—Twelfth Night—
and in others from December 21 to
February 2.
Eventually these long celebra
tions got out of hand and became
such wild orgies that the Puritans
forbade the celebration of Christ
mas in the year 1644. It was not-
until 1678 that Charles II re-estab
lished Christmas.
TT WASN’T any of her business, of
*■ course. But the fact didn’t keep
her from worrying over the situa
tion that was as evident as the nose
on her face between Jim and Betty
upstairs. She’d slept very little the
night before from thinking about
them. And now she sat in Pa’s old
rocker by the heater in the front
room, listfning to Mike’s little feet
patter across the floor above her.
She wondered what an old widow
could do to Tighten things between
two that sfie’d come to love as her
own children.
For three days Mollie hadn’t
heard Jim step his foot on the stairs,
which substantiated the news she’d
heard that morning from Tillie
Smith across the street that Jim was
staying in a room downtown.
Everything had been alright at
Christmas, apparently. Jim had
shouldered a cedar tr#e up the stairs
that’d berti almost too big to get
through the door, and he’d said to
Mollie, grinning his infectious grin
through the cedar branches, “Mike
Boar Gets Credit
For First Plow
The wild boar has been revered
from earliest times as having
taught mankind the art of plowing
by rooting into the ground with his
tusks.
Pre-Christian Druids, celebrating
the winter solstice, offered a boar’s
head to the goddess Freya and, be
cause of its food value, the boar has
always been an important part of
festive menus.
For three days Mollie hadn’t

says Santa Claus won’t come with
out a cedar tree all decorated with
tinsel and yghts.”
They’d set up the tree and dec
orated it and invited her up to look
at it and eat fluffy popcorn that
Betty’d popped in an old iron skillet
on the stove.
Betty’s step sounded on the stairs,
and after a moment she and Mike
came into the room. “Pm going
downtown to buy a few groceries,
Mrs. Elms,” she said. “Would it
be too much trouble to keep Mike
while I’m gone?”
Mike ran into Mollie’s arms, and
Mollie smiled up at Betty. “Of
course not, dear. Mike and I will
play train—and ball. ...” She got
out the little train she kept for Mike
when he came to visit her.
After a while an odd, happy glow
came into Mollie’s dim blue eyes,
and she asked Mike, “would you like
to go over to see Aunt Tillie, dear?”
Mike was all eagerness, because
“Aunt” Tillie gave him little bags
of candy. “Le’s go—le’s go!” He
jumped up and down with excite
ment.
They’d hardly reached Tillie
Smith’s little* house across the street
when Mollie asked Tillie' “Would
you keep Mike a little while, Tillie?
I have something I must take care
of at the house. I’ll not be gone
long.”
“Why, yes, Mollie, I’ll take care
of Mike. We’ll get along fine,” she
said.
• • •
Mollie sat in Pa’s old rocker by
the heater and a strange little
prayer slipped from her lips, “Dear
God, forgive me, but it can’t be a
sin!”
She became silent and fastened a
frightened look upon Betty who had
returned from town with her arms
loaded with groceries.
“He’s tone . .. Betty, he’s GONE!
No ... it wasn’t Jim who took
him.” She managed the falsehood,
but somehow she wasn’t feeling bad
inside for doing it
Mollie hardly knew what happened
after she’d spoken the lie; only that
Betty had dropped her groceries in
the mi-idle of the floor and had
dashed to the telephone to call Jim.
Then after Jim was there, holding
Betty in his arms and trying to stop
her tears, and the whole neighbor
hood was roused with the news that
someone had taken little Mike, Tillie
Smith and Mike walked in the back
door.
“Well—” Tillie said in surprise at
the neighborhood gathering. "What’s
this? A New Year's party? Mollie,
I thought you intended to come back
for Mike.”
Betty and Jim were holding Mike
between them and laughing now.
Presently their eyes slipped to Mol
lie sitting quietly in the old rocker,
and Betty said, so that only Jim
could hear, “Bless her heart, Jim!
Bless her heart!”
Gregorian Calendar

DONKEYS JJ|j
PROMISE i. ' '
*»
l*/"' O TO sleep, Dickie. Tomor-
'-^gow is Christmas and you're
going to have a busy day.”
He wondered if he’d be well enough
to appreciate his “busy day” and
stifled a sob with a heavy sigh
for he knew he would be unable to
ride the tricycle Santa Claus had
promised him. His legs were stiff
and painful and they felt as though
he would never be able to walk on
them again.
His mother brushed soft tendrils
of hair from his feverish brow and
bent down to kiss him tenderly.
“Goodnight, Dickie,; pleasant
dreams.”
He watched her leave the room,
closing the door softly behind her. :
He lay quietly for some time, then
turned to look curiously at the huge
tree across the room. In deference
to his illness his bed had been
moved into the living room so that
he could see the decorations and
await Santa Claus’ arrival
The scene of the Nativity had
been beautifully reconstructed by
his father and its tiny plaster mofl-
els now caught the boy's attention.
A strange sight met his eyes. The
donkey that had been sprawled on
the ground was now standing and
stretching himself. The lambs were
in their same positions but their
eyes were glittering with life.
“It’s Christmas Eve, Dickie, and
you should be happy.” There was a
trace of reproach in the voice.
Dickie was bewildered by this
tin<e. “How—how—” he stuttered
feebly, and halted.
“How do we talk? Why that’s sim
ple, Dickie. All animals talk on
He watched her leave the room,
closing the door softly behind her.
Christmas Eve. Didn’t you know?
That night everything comes to
life.
“What seems to be the matter?”
“I don’t know. I’m all burning up
inside and I can’t move my legs
without hurting them.”
He saw two of the animals ex
change a knowing glance. “You
mean ...”
“Something has to be done for
him,” the donkey interrupted
swiftly.
“You mean you can cure me?”
With a glance at the tiny crib,
the donkey said, “I’m sure you will
be cured, Dickie.” All animals
were silent for a moment, then the
donkey continued. “Now go to
sleep, Dickie, and when morning
comes you will feel better.”
“You mean I’ll be able to get up
and ride my tricycle and play with
my other toys?” Dickie asked ex
citedly. But there was no answer.
When he awoke, both mommy
and daddy were sitting at his bed
side and his mother’s pretty face
was flushed with happiness.
“Mommy! Daddy!” he cried, “I
can move my legs!” Mother threw
the covers back and the three
watched with fascination as his
legs movedNlowly up and down.
Mother began to cry. She hugged
him tightly and then threw herself
into daddy’s arms. •
Dickie was happy, too. . But he
stopped moving his legs long
enough to tell his mother gravely,
“Dr. Benton's medicine didn’t help
me, mommy.”
“Oh, Dickie dear, of course it
did. It cured you and soon you’ll be
running around again!”
He started to protest, but before
words could come, his eyes fell on
the Nativity scene where his
friends, the donkey and three
lambs, reclined. Leaning over, he
stroked the plaster backs of the
models and made a momentous
decision.
These animals were his friends
and they had made him well again,
but maybe they wanted him to keep
it a secret. Next Christmas Eve,
when they talked again, he could
ask their permission to tell every
body about their kindness. Until
then, he must not do anything that
might sadden them. With a final
pat, he turned happily to his par
ents. "Merry Christmas, mommy.
Merry Christmas, daddy. My, it’s
going to be a busy day.”

really captivated the town. She has

movie stars. Success in the theater
means that they can have anything

“Hamlet,” the Laurence Olivier
production released by Universal-

pictures that must be seen. To
many of us this is the one great
version of the play, beside which
all others will be inadequate.

Kidneys Must
Work Well-
For You To Fee! Well
24 hours every day. 7 days every
week, never stopping, the kidneys filter •
waste matter from the blood.
more people were aware of how the
kidneys must constantly remove sur
plus fluid, excess acids and other waste
matVr that cannot stay in the blood
without injury to health, there would
be better understanding of, why the
whole system is upset when kidneys fail
to function properly.
Burning, scanty or too frequent urina
tion sometimes warns that something
is wrong. You may suffer nagging back
ache, headaches, dizziness, rheumatie
pains, getting up at nights, swelling.
Why not try Doan’* Pitts? You wM
be using a medicine recommended the
country over. Doan't stimulate the func
tion of the kidneys and help them to
flush out poisonous ^aste from the
blood. They contain nothing harmful.
