Y-Shaped Spud Dug
From Ghio Fiald Is
Hint to Hitlerites
It looks like a cold winter for
Mr. Adolph Hitler and eventual
ly victory for England, Russia
and other nations who once re
sisted armed aggression.
This omen appeared in the
most important of all war ma
terials, food, and was dug out
of the ground on a Fulton coun
ty farm.
It was a russet-rural potato
shaped in an exact "V." Th
potato bears no flaws or blem
ishes which would produce the
"V." It is a natural formation.
The potato was dug by Otto
Miller, an F.F.A. student at the
Wauseon high school, on , his
father's farm, near Wauseon.
The class plans to coat the
potato with wax in order to
preserve it and then sent it on
to Winston Churchill, prime
minister of Great Britain Just
to show that the "V" for vic
tory campaign which is sweep
ing through occupied European
countries, has with Dame Na
ture's blessing, reached the
breakbasket of the world Ful

PROTESTS PLAN
FOR NEW LEVIES
Those Who Haven't Had
Pay Boosts Deny 'Excess
Purchasing Power' Claim
change through heavy new taxes
the people would try to outbid
each other for the available con
sumer merchandise and cause
inflationary price rises.
Today, treasury experts ex
plained that the "excess pur
chasing power" which worries
them exists only in the aggre
gate, and may not be true of any
particular citizen.
Washington, Nov. 13 IIP)
John Taxpayer and hundreds of
his brothers who haven't had a
pay raise in a long time poured
protests into the treasury today
against new tax proposals de
signed to "mop up" excess pur
chasing power.
The treasury admitted get
ting a "large number" of let
ters from citizens who generally
said "what's this excess purchas
ing power? I haven't got any
of it."
Hard Problem
Answers are going out that
the treasury is "aware" of the
problem of the many people
who haven't shared directly in
the defense boom, and is trying
to work out some tax system
that will be easier on them than
on the other workers who are
making lots more money. But,
one official commented, "we
can't make promises. It's a diffi
cult nut to crack."
The thing that started the in
dignant flood of mail was a sta
tistical survey by Dr. Carl
Shoup of Columbia university,
a part-time treasury adviser,
which predicted that the people
would have between $5,000,000,
000 and $8,000,000,000 of extra
spending money next year, at a
time when priorities and other
factors would reduce sharply
the supply of merchandise the
people could buy. Shoup con
cluded that unless the treasury
soaked up some of this spare
