Flag to Designate
Jobs for Veterans
William Croghan, comman
der of Salem Chapter No. 6,
Disabled American Veterans,
announces there's a new kind
of service flag. The service flag
being displayed by business and
industry shows how many em
ployes are in the armed forces
or killed in action. A new flag,
an Employment Flag, will de
signate the number of returned
World war II veterans employ
ed. Developed by national head
quarters of the Disabled Ameri
can Veterans, the flag is now
being designed and will be
available for display soon. The
DAV is inaugurating a nation
al campaign to interest manu
facturers in displaying the new
Employment Flag as a part of
its program to speed the hiring
of war veterans by business and
industry. It is the hope of the
DAV that for the duration of
the war the Employment Flag
will be displayed alongside of
the service flag.

Xmas Massacre
By Gestapo
London, Jan. 13 (U. The
Daily Herald reported today in
a dispatch date-lined "Bande on
the Ardennes Front" that the
gestapo had killed nearly all
of the young men of Bande
Christmas eve, in reprisal for
the alleged firing at a staff car
when the Germans retreated
through the village last Septem
ber. One man who escaped report
ed the massacre to the British.
Thirty-four frozen bodies were
recovered, the dispatch said,
adding that a report of 300 bod
ies of civilians found a few miles
from the village had not been
confirmed.
(The British vriio said In a
broadcast monitored by CBS to
day that a correspondent on the
western front said the Germans
had lined up and shot six Amer
ican soldiers of the third armor
ed division four days ago. The
men were said to be part of a
patrol ambushed by the Ger
mans and their murders were
reported by two wounded men
who survived. The broadcast
cited the incident as increasing
evidence that German com
manders were telling their men
not to lake prisoners).

Tighten Up on
U. S. Employes
Washington. Jan. 13 (P Con
siderably more federal govern
ment employes under 30 have
been given draft deferments
than authorized by law, a selec
tive service spokesman said to
day. "But instructions have been
issued to local draft boards to
tighten up," he asserted, adding
that the number deferred "has
been reduced substantially since
last summer."
Selective service figures as
of last September 30 the latest
available show that exclusive
of army and navy civilian per
sonnel, a total of 6,5)40 physic
ally fit federal workers under
30 were deferred.
Under the Lodge act, enacted
in April 1943, the only federal
workers eligible for deferment
are those cleared by the war
manpower commission, which
so far has approved only about
950 cases.
Yanks Aided
By Guerrillas
General MncArthur's Head
quarters, Luzon, Jan. 13 iVPi
Four days before Die Yanks
rushed the beaches of Lingayen
gulf, and while the American
convoy was still at sea, Filipino
guerrillas went to work on a
planned program of sabotage
and destruction.
General Mac Arthur disclosed
Friday that Filipino guerrillas,
in conjunction with American
planes, blocked strategic defen
ses and prevent Japanese troop
movement.
At a signal from Gen. Doug
las MacArt bur's headquarters,
the guerrillas, well supplied
with dynamite by American
demolition cxpcrls, blew up )
rail and highway bridges at
Calumpit, 25 miles northeast of
Manila.
They blocked defiles through
which roads and rail lines pass
from southern Luzon lo Manila
and central valley areas.
Til is may be one reason for
the apparent failure of the Jap
anese to react more quickly and
powerfully against 1 he Ameri

Young Talks
On Taxation
Oregon hasn't gone up any
blind alley In the matter of tax
ation, but has followed the gen
erally accepted methods of rais
ing revenue favored by a ma-
jirjtv f the slates, F. H. Young
of tlv? Oregon Business and Tax
Research bureau of Portland,
stated, during an address before
the Salem Board of Realtor?!
Friday noon. Furthermore, he
added there was little prospect
a group of tax experts would
be able to devise ways and
means of finding additional
sources of revenue. This is
especially true, he said in view
of the people's apparent deter
mination to have no part of a
sales tax.
Young pointed out that the
legislature is prohibited by con
stitutional amendment from
passing a revenue measure with
out first giving the people a
chance to consider it. No tax
legislation can bear the emerg
ency clause.
Of the 1 1 chief sources of
revenue for the majority or
states Oregon is employing
nine, Young said. Oregon has
not as yet placed a tax on to
bacco or adopted a general sales
tax. The most popular sources
of revenue are taxes on alcohol,
inheritance, franchise, income,
gasoline, insurance premiums,
motor vehicle, property, utility
and tobacco.
Young said some tax reduc
tion could be affected through
the consolidation of school dis
tricts and better budgeting prac
tices on the part of political sub
divisions. However, he added,
people are looking for some
thing spectacular, a "cure all."
He mentioned the enormotil
amount of revenue the federal
government is raising through
excise taxes, or, in other words,
sales taxes. The 0 percent tax
on jewelry alone raised $113,
000,000 in 1944, he said.
Thiessen to Head
Justice Group
The Justices of the Peace As
sociation of Oregon, meeting
here today at the office of Jo
seph B. Felton, recommended
through its legislative commit
tee, headed by Alf O. Nelson ol
Silverton, that justices of tin
peace be elected on a non-partisan
basis. A bill to that effect
will be introduced in the legis
lature. Another recommendation is
that the maximum salary of jus
tices of the peace who are paid
on the fee basis be $2400 a year.
At present the law is that their
pay be not over $200 a month.
Since in some months the pay
on a fee basis is not that high
the proposed change makes a
full $2400 assured.
A third recommendation i
that the automobile mileage al-
lowance for constables be In
creased from S to 10 cents a
mile. It was said that at 5 cents
the officers lose money, and
some of them refuse to make
trips on that basis, the result
being that the work devolved
on the sheriffs' offices, making
