Admiral on Trial .' : I ,
, This week the French Committee of Nation-
.1 Liberation in Algiers will supervise the trial
of a French admiral in a special court estab
lished to review his complicity with the Ger
mans in handing over the French war vessels
in Tunis to them at the start of the African
invasion in November, 1942. v ; :
The admiral's name is Derrien, and he will
have to answer to the charge before a court
composed of three high-ranking naval officers,
and two French civil judges regularly connec
ted with the appeals courts of Algiers and Ra
bat. It will not be a court martial, but, as in
the case of Pucheu and other collaborators re
cently tried, a civil tribunal prepared to pass
upon treason to the French state. J
The particular case, as a matter of fact, is
not so important as the motivating principle
one of determination, on the. part of the French
committee, to proceed with "purge" trials of
strongly suspected former collaborators with the
German occupying forces, even before the in
vasion of metropolitan: France. The French feel
that the testimony of people now, in North Af
rica, and such documentary material as they
have there in the cases thus far called to court,
are sufficient upon which a just and legal de-
cision can be made, j J j
Derrien is charged with turning his ships .
over to the Germans in spite of strict: orders
to sink them in case of attempted confiscation
by the nazis. At Toulon, at the same time that
his complicity is alleged to have occurred, an
other French admiral,! de la Borde,1 did sinks
his vessels rather than surrender them. Derrien,
however, heeded the persuasion of a certain
Admiral Platon, then a secretary in Marshal
Petain's cabinet, and allowed the swastika ban
ner to fly over previously French ships.! -
If the evidence is as strong as it appears,
and the court as strict as in the Pucheu case ,
and that of Col. Castigini, both of whom were .
recently executed in consequence of Verdicts
of guilty, Derrien can expect short shrift, and the
Committee of Liberation will have one less
problem to settle. As to the absolute legality
of the proceedings well, there was nothing le
gal about Germans using French ships.
exemptions of, $500 per person in place of the -existing
system of exemptions. For example, a
husband will be allowed an exemption of $500
for himself; $500 for his wife and $500 for each
other dependent. j
The definition of dependents is also simpli
fied; Instead of the present requirement that a
dependent must be under 18 or mentally or
physically incapable of self-support, the bill
defines a dependent as any close relation for
whom the taxpayer furnishes pver . half the
support and who is not himself required to file
a return. -djpr . I ':'; -'V
Also in the interest of simplification, taxpay
ers would be permitted to make standard de
ductions of 10 per cent of gross income, in lieu
of allowable specific deductions for charitable
contributions, taxes, etc. For incomes . abova
$5000, a flat deduction of $500 would be per
mitted. I 1 ,
By these changes, i would become possible
to determine the amount of taxes due -with
comparative ease, especially in the income
brackets below i $5000 After the ' first year,
members of the ways and means committee
have asserted that approximately 30 million
taxpayers would be relieved of computing their
taxes.; : - ,: ' ; 1: . . r-r
These changes, made, for the purpose of simp
lification, . will necessarily cause some shift
in tax burdens, but the general effect will be
to decrease the payments of individuals with'
large families and somewhat, increase the pay
ments of taxpayers with small families, a move
to which no one could offer valid objection.
The bill is now in th hands of the senate and
some changes may be expected although ' it
seems almost certain that the features providing
simplification of tax returns will remain when
the bill is finally enacted into law.

Let the public .become sufficiently aroused
over some governmental operation, las was the
case when a great majority of income taxpayers
groaned as they struggled with the vexatious
paper work in connection with the 1043 tax
return, and relief generally is forthcoming.
As a direct response to the thousands of pro
testing letters which, piled high on each con
gressman's desk shortly 'after the j recent tax
paying period, the house ways and means com
mittee buckled down and produced a bill which,
to say the least, is a vast improvement over
previous tax laws. ' .' j
And when this bill came up for final passage
in the house, it was passed by the overwhelm

a tax bill has been passed in the house of rep
resentatives without opposition, j

The first monsoon rains are falling on the India
Burma front, bolstering Admiral Lord Mountbat
ten's apparent belief that the Japanese "invasion
of eastern India is not only stymied but is facing
'utter disaster, - A- .
- Within a week the full weight of the monsoon
will develop. For the next three months it will halt
' active military . operations everywhere in Burma
except in the upper Irrawaddy valley where the
t monsoon rainfall is only a fraction of that in the
India-Burma border sector. , , ?
. Authorized British military commentators in his
country attribute Mountbatten's . withdrawal of
his forces from Buthidaung on the Arakan front in
Burma to the approaching monsoon. It represents
the end of the campaign to recapture Akyob until
the rainy season passes, but this time British troops
have fallen back only into the hills above the town.
i Their; mission In any case, according to General
' Horace S. Sewell, was "primarily ! diversionary,"
to take enemy weight off the main allied operations
. in Burma, General StUwell's Chinese-American .
drive to link up Ledo road communications with
the old Burma route to China. j
And it is in that sector, on the upper Irrawaddy,
that monsoon rains win least affect; operations.
The average fall in the valleys of northeastern
Burma Is less than 100 inches compared to 250 inch-
l es during the, monsoon months in Arakan and as
much as 400 inches in the area through which the
Japanese forces; advanced into India. ' f
The failure off that desperate enemy gamble with
the monsoon in an effort to delay Stilwell's ad
vance is arousing concern in Tokyo.! It was re
flected in a recent Nipponese broadcast beamed to
.Germany repeating a warning that; American air
forces in China are being strengthened to "raid
the Japanese mainland as well as cut off the Jap
' a nese supply line with the southern egion.,,
" The broadcast, as reported by the office of war
information, has several angles of interest. It said
"advance bases' of the American 1 14th (China)
air force - are located in southern and central.
Kwangsi province and are expanding. Some Jap
anese were reported to-. "believe" that American
"sup?r bombers" were to be assigned to General
Clair Chennault for use against Japan, and China
sea shipping. " - V V. - ' C:v ; '
If that Is so, the conclusion drawn by , the Tokyo
account is soundly based. It means that failure to
I. alt -CtJwea's operations or seriously delay him
! y tl;? frustrated India invasion" does expose
rr : ; CV.tjx sea traffic and bases along the
China coast itself, in French 'Indo-Chlna and in

Draft Gnfu8ion
Conflicting regulations coming from Wash
ington, concerning draft deferments are work
ing a definite hardship on men who are within
the draft age limits.
First comes an order from the president to
tighten deferments and next comes an an-
nouncement that men over 28 years of age'
and in vital war work will not be called. The
- -it
heads of selective seryice and the manpower
commission issue different instructions with
the result that members of draft boards are
themselves at a loss tj( know what to do next.
The recent order toi halt' induction of men
over twenty-six who are employed in essen-
tial jobs, with daily revisions of ordera-and in
structions to draft boards emanating from Wash
ington, provoked Senator Robert A. Taft of
Ohio to declare: 1 '
"The time has come for the administration to
quit playing fast and foose with the existence
of our own citizens and their families. It is
utterly ridiculous at this stage of the war to
have married men telling their families good
bye, giving up their jobs, and selling their bus--inesses,
only to be told the next day it was all
a mistake and they will not be needed; that
they can go back home and pick up the scat
tered threads of their lives but not securely
for they might be called again on a moment's
notice. Such confusion is not only harmful to
public morale but alsoi must be a detriment to
constancy fat war production."
- The time has arrived when some common
sense should be injected into the draft pro
gram. Surely, it would be no insurmountable
task to make all draft classifications clear, def-
, inite and permanent; keep them that way un
less a truly great emergency arose; end the con
fusion of all men of draft age, and allow the
nation to get on with winning the war.
Hi
rjreacn oi lrusi j
From early childhood we, in this country, are
taught to respect ourf public officials and to
look upon members of police departments as.
protectors. - j.: .t . '
In the great majority of cases, men chosen
to serve the public so live and act that this trust
; is not misplaced. But when we read in the news
columns of the Cheyenne, Wyoming, mayor
and three members of his police department be
ing convicted of accepting a bribe, the news
is nothing, less than shocking. '
In the Cheyenne case, justice was meted out
without undue delay. iThe mayor of the town
drew a seven to ten year prison sentence, while
the guilty policemen jialso were sentenced to
prison for varying terms. .
The specific charge against the men was that
of "soliciting and' accepting $100 on two oc
casions" from a caf e proprietor for "protec
tion." -V:::V A:,,r::.. s ;aa:
? Fortunate it is that : betrayal of public trust
" is rare and equally fortunate is the swift pun
ishment of the Cheyenne mayor and police of
ficers who so lightly valued their duty to the
r citizens of their town.!: ' . .

Vigilance at Home
Partial destruction by fire of the town of
Mapleton near the colst j last .j Saturday and a
slash fire which threatened a large forested
, area of Lane county bring into sharp focus the
need of constant vigilance against fire a most1
potent force of destruction.
For several years past Oregon has been most
- fortunate in having weather -conditions unfa
. vorable to the spread: of forest fires. Another
. factor that certainly, held down fire losses in
the timbered areas of our state Is the excellent
fire fighting organization built up by State
Forester Nels Rogers. .
Destruction of timber by fire Is more than
an economic loss. We are in war. .lumber is a
vital need of the armed forces. Every acre of
; trees swept down by fire brings a distinct vic
tory to our enemy, t ,
Not everyone Is in a position to participate
in fire fighting but certainly everyone who tra
vels through the wooded areas or enters a for
est can do his or her part by ever remembering
that carelessness with; fire may result in ham
pering our war effort. V

The record to date however,

Last of - the voters' pamphlets
for the 1944 , primary election
were mailed out here Tuesday,

quired by law, Dave 0Bra, in

The law requires that these

OUara denied reports that the
pamphlets were not mailed out
within the statutory period and -also
that he had discriminated
against the democrats by mailing
the republican pamphlets first .
"Even though this were true it '
would make no difference as to
which pamphlets were mailed out
first" OUara said, "for the rea
son that the democrats and repub
licans hold separate ' primary
elections and there is no contest
between the candidates of the
two parties.' ' ! " j
