marries him to spite Raft. Then
she falls in love with Raft. The
resulting complications Robin

first contemptuous of her, later
fascinated by her confession of
love for him; Dietrich, nearly
driven to madness with her pre
tended love for Robinson, hav
ing to listen to him continually
praise the man she really loves
finally explode in a high-powered
climax.
Alan Hale and Frank McHugh
supply much comedy to the pic
ture as two practical jokers who
don't lose their sense of humor
in the face of danger. Others

DENY JAIL BIRDS
Salem, Sept. 20. (P) It was
"no pie, and no more smoking
either," for the 17 Inmates of
the Marion county jail today
because someone, said Sheriff
A. C. Burk, set fire to the ceil
ing of the jail bathroom Friday
afternoon.
The blaze apparently had
smouldered, directly under the
county recorder's office, for 15
minutes before clerks there
smelled smoke and sounded an
larm, investigating firemen re
ported. Damage was negligible.
"I guess we've been treating
these boys too well," Burk com
mented. "We haven't yet found
out who did it."

end of 1941, because of the fiscal
year basis on which they have
been operating, their 1942 tax
could be Increased by the full
six per cent permitted by the
state constitution.
The new fiscal year law does

Hyde Park. Sept
President Roosevelt today signed
the f3.553.400.000 tax bill, the
largest ever enacted. He affixed
his signature at 8:15 a. m. (PST).
Designed to help defray the
multiplying costs of the national
defense and the lease-lend pro
gram, the legislation is expected
to lift federal revenues above
the $13,000,000,000 mark next
year.
Even that total, however,
would be only slightly more
than half of the estimated ex
penditures for the current fiscal
year and would fail to carry
out Secretary Morgenthau's rec
ommendation that government
spending be financed two-thirds
from taxes and one-third from
borrowing.
To further increase federal
revenues, another tax bill may
be proposed later this fall or
early next year.
