Ttll Thm the Facts
IN the great central portion of
this country war conditions on
the Pacific Const have been spot
lighted In the press and on the
radio. Judging from reports
emanating from points east of the
Rocky Mountains, thhy think we
arc in a perfectly terribly state
out here-that our business has
been completely dislocated; that
we are
under blackouts most of
the time; that travel is stupiod on
the highway arteries; that the
enemy Is a constant threat off the
coast and goodness knows how
much more such stuff.
Humors, exaggerations and
garbled facts have spread like
prairlo fires creating worry", con
tusion and in some cases actual
hysteria. The effect of this sort
of thing upon business Is obvious
ly bad. Orders that might other
wise come to coast .firms are sent
elsewhere. Orders already plac
ed may be cancelled. It is a
serious situation temporarily but
it can be remedied.
Personal contact Is the best way
to clear up the confusion about
conditions here. iUI;course the
simplest personal contact! Isbyi
letter. It Is suggested therefore
Unit folks write numerous letters
to friends, relatives and business
contacts lii the mid west and toil
them the trite state of affairs.
Tell them that the uciual danger
is. Ri'ealy exaggerated. That
blackouts are but sane precaution
ary measures which assure rath
er than worry the populace; that
stores enjoy good business; that
there Is as much travel as the
shortage of tires will permit; that
theatres and other places of
amusement flourish and that
people have money to spend and
are .spending it pretty much as
usual.
Personal letters will do a fine
job of relieving worry so let's
write a few.
Three Million Volunteers
THE various offices of Civilian
Defense have now enrolled
3,51(i,r,()0 volunteers, according to
Director F. II. LnGuardia. That
Includes 607,307 air raid wardens,
23S,!Hi7 auxiliary riremen, M!l,3r!l
auxiliary polkv, 130,070 medical
personnel, and 210,030 others.
Considering that there were few

suggests progress.
Of course this is up to now
largely a paper strength. Most of

Fixing of Limits Sought
In Bills Being Prepared
For Action by Congress
.WASHINGTON', .mn 21 (API
... Fer-reaehlnfe li'trislatlbn to com
pel "special Interest" groups to
submit accountings of their funds
and to limit profits on defense
work was prepared today to meet
the house naval committee's blunt
criticism of practices it declared
were current.
Chairman Vinson (D-Ga.) said
he would introduce immediately
a bill to require "big chambers
of commerce, labor unions and all
special interest groups" to report
to a federal agency their assets,
liabilities, contributions and ex
penditures. Well Informed congressional
circles said that such a program
had been discussed by President
Roosevelt with conferees on labor
legislation two months ago.
At the same time, Vinson said
he was working on a second bill
designed to prevent the "exces
sive and unconslonable" profits
which the committee declared
some corporations had made on
naval contracts.
The Georgian said that the leg
islation could not fairly be based
on a fixed percentage of profit,
but probably would be built
around average profits over a
given period of years.
The naval committee sent a
voluminous report to the house
yesterday summarizing its in
vestigation of 19,086 naval con
tracts. All members approved
the report as a whole, but nine
dissented sharply from the ma
jority's findings regarding labor.
Heavy Profits Discovered
The report made these observa
tions:
Industry Manufacturers as a
whole should not be criticized,
but In view of the fact that many
made profits far above 7 per cent
the highest was 247 per cent on
a small order "the necessity is
clearly Indicated for measure to
be taken to prevent excessive ana
unconscionable profits."
Labor "Tremendous financial
gains" by labor organizations rep
resented "an outstanding picture
of concentration of wealth" which
should lead to union registration.
Congress should enact legislation
to prevent interference with tho
war program by strikes and other
work stoppages.
(Both of these provisions are
In A'hriusa-annroved bill passed
Lbelore the United States went (o
War ana wnicn is penaing in me
senate).
, Contracts Negotiated cost-plus
fixed-fee contracts surveyed
showed an average profit of 2.G
per cent, compared with 6.2 per
cent on competitive bids. "Results
to date indicate that the cost-plus-fixed-fee
contract minimizes
the possibility of profiteering
where a close check is kept upon
costs."
Administrative Navy officials
should more carefully consider
the records of prospective con
tractors, should study British and
Canadian procurement methods,
should avoid "a great deal of
waste and excessive profits" be
cause cost-accounting methods
are not uniform and should in

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS
Sacrifice is the highest and
noblest act of a living soul. We
respect It, we honor it, we pay
homage to it. Sacrifice is a
povJer of God which accom
plishes an eternal work. It is a
law of life. We speak a great
deal these days about self-denial
but do we practice very
much denial for the kingdom
of God? A great many of us
do not even give of our time to
the Lord. We are too busy
'ith other this( a. me toct
..Wail?:-y.CXt!f said:. "The world
is too much wiih us." We
worry about our earthly pos
sessions, but never stop to
think whether our soul is
right with God. Jesus reached
the climax of sacrifice. He
was not speaking only to the
disciples, but to the world in
general, when He gave this
fundamental law of life: "If
any man will come after me,
let him deny himself." Adam
Clarke, the great Biblical
scholar, master of fourteen
languages, sleeps In Westmin
ster abby. On his tomb is a
candle, burning near the
socket, and around it, these
words: "In burning for others,
I myself, also, have been con
sumed." Or another general,
Charles George Gordon, who
at all times and everywhere,
gave his strength to the weak.
His sympathy to the suffering,
his substance to the poor, his
heart to God. These men learn
ed the art of sacrifice through
loyal service and suffering.
Both are highly honored for
their devotion to a cause.
"Greater love hath no man
than this that a man lay down
his life" In loyal service and
sacrifice. Amen.

Army Needs 11000
Women, House Told
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (AP)
The army needs about 12,000
women at once, a congressional
committee was told today, for Use
in the airplane interceptor ser
vice and other army branches.
Lieut. Col. Ira Swift of the gen
eral staff told the house military
committee there were certain
jobs, such as the vitally Import
ant telephone operators in air
raiil spoiling organizations, which
women could do better than men.
The dtiiccr said the army now
was using about 6,000 volunteer
unpaid women but it was believ
ed the service would be more ef
ficient if there was a control of
attendance and turnover in per
sonnel. He estimated It would
cost about SIO.000.000 a year to
uniform, house and train the 12,
000 needed, and said about 10,000
would be put in interceptor com
mand work.
Chairman May (D-Ky.) road a
letter from Gen. George C. Mar
shall, army chief of staff, adding
his approval of the bill to estab
lish a voluntary women's auxili
ary corps to that already given
by Secretary of War StimsOn.

Your Federal Income Tax
No. 15
Normal Tax and Surtax Rafes
Income taxes for 1941 are paid
on normal tax net incomes and
on surtax net Incomes. A 6tudy
of the instructions that accom
pany the income tax forms will
show how to compute the tax on
such incomes. This brief state
ment should serve to help to that
end.
The Internal Revenue Code, as
amended, provides for only one
normal tax rate', and that Is 4
per cent. It is upon the normal
tax net income that is, the net
income less the sum of (1) allow
able personal exemption and
credits for dependents, (2) the in
terest on obligations of the Unit
ed States and its instrumentali
ties, and (3) an earned income
credit of 10 per cent of the
amount of the net income. If the
net income is $3,000, no more
than $300 earned net income cred
it would be deductible from the
net income. The entire amount of
the taxpayer's net income up to
and including $3,000, regardless
of the source, is considered earn
ed net income.
The surtax Is imposed upon the
entire amount of surtax net in
come. In the computation of the
surtax net income the only cred
its allowable against net income
are the personal exemption and
the credit for dependents.
the rates of surtax Increase as
the amount of the surtax net in
come increases. For instance, if
the surtax net income Is not over
$2,000, the surtax is 6 per cent of
the surtax net Income. The sur
tax upon a surtax net income of
$2,000 is $120; upon a surtax net
income in excess of $2,000 ami
not in excess of $4,000, $120 plus
9 per cent of the excess over $2,-
000; upon a surtax net income of
$4,000, $300: upon a surtax net in
come in excess of $4,000 and not
in excess of $6,000, $300 plus 13
ler cent of the excess, over $!,
000; upon a surtax net income of
$6,000, S360; and upon a surtax
net income in excess of $6,000 and
not in excess of $8,000. $560 plus
17 per rent of the excess over
$6,000. Thus the rates are in
creased from 6 per cent on the
first $2,000 to 77 per cent on the
excess of surtax net Income over
S5.000.000.
The maximum surtax rate is 77
per cent. On a surtax net income
of S5.000.000, the surtax is S3,
723,780. When the surtax net in
come exceeds $3,000,000, the 77
per cent rate is applicable to such
excess, in addition to the surtax
ol S3,T23,7S0.
