SPIES IN CONSULATES
Vichy Ambassador Henry-Haye
recently let out a loud wail about
newspaper reports charging him
and his staff with undercover pro-
Axis activities.
It is possible that Henry-Haye
knows nothing about it. but govern­
ment authorities are in possession of
evidence that Nazi agents are on
Vichy consular staffs in this coun­
try. Also, that such agents have
been installed in Hungarian consular
offices.
It has been ascertamed that sev­
eral weeks before Axis consulates
were ordered expelled. Berlin, either
tipped off or anticipating the move,
quietly began shifting some of its
agents to Vichy and Hungarian con­
sulates.
The Vichy consulate in Chicago,
headed by Raymond Imbault-Huart.
was one of those that suddenly had
a mysterious staff expansion. An­
other was in the Hungarian consu­
late in Cleveland, directed by Louis
Alexy.
Two "investigators" were added
to Imbault-Huart's staff early in
June. These men were in constant
contact with the Nazi consulate in
Chicago; in fact, they called there
almost every day until the Nazi con-
sul departed in July. This was
definitely established by Dies com­
mittee agents and from a former
member of the Vichy consular staff
in Chicago, who resigned in disgust
after many years of service.

SIMPLIFYING Tin: TAX BLOW
The senate finance committee re­
cently voted for the Simplified Chart
system for helping the public deter­
mine its income tax. It now seem»
certain that the Do-It-Without-The-
Dizzy-Spell idea will become law and
that the new arrivals within the in­
come tax classifications will atmost
be admitted on a Pay-As-You-Enter
system.

"it ain’t the money; it’s the con­

go to a post office, glance at a chart
and find out what he owes Uncle
Sam without going nuts.

When the income tax was limited
to the Upper Brackets and only took

it was all right to let them suffer.

and the mad call for lawyers.
