PAGE SEVEN Joan Crawford, Melvyn Douglas Stars of Gay Romance At Craterian I - ... - - -. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JUNE 23, 1942. SUPPORTING ROLE Billie Burke and Helen Par rish Featured Allen Jen kins in Jitterbug Act. Joan Crawford and Melvyn Douglas, co-starred In what is said to be the years gayest com edy romance, "They All Kissed the Bride," come to the Crater- lan Theatre today for a three day run. Roland Young, Billie Burke and Allen Jenkins head the top-flight east, which also includes Helen Parrish, Andrew ' Tombes, Roger Clark, Nydia Westman and Mary Treen. In 'They All Kissed the 'Bride," Miss Crawford returns to the type of romantic char acterization which first made her a star, a dancing, romanc ing comedy role. Seen as a million-dollar heiress and a ca reer woman, she discovers that making love is more fun than making money. Douglas appears as a young man who believes that there's never anything wrong with a woman that a man's lips can't cure, and sets out to prove his thesis with reckless abandon. . In their lesser roles, Roland Young is said to be as delight ful as ever as a lawyer who pre fers to practice on the ladies; Billie Burke Is seen as a dow ager in a dither, and Allen Jen kins contributes his share to the comedy as a rough diamond who cuts a smooth rug.

Washington, June 27 (.TV In a move to put a great fleet of small boats into the war agains submarines off the At lantic and gulf coasts, the navy called today for all owners of seagoing craft to volunteer the services of themselves and their vessels. It was hoped, an announce ment said .that 1,000 additional small boats might Join the anti submarine patrols being con ducted by 1,200 craft. The navy said "requirements have been relaxed" to qualify additional boats, but gave no de tails as to what the new re quirements would be. It was indicated, however, that the sole test would be whether, in the opinion of of ficers conducting the anti-submarine warfare, the boat in question could be useful. Closing Urns (or CluslftM Ads t . m, Too Uta to ClsMUy 13 JO p. m. Klamath Falls, June 27. W Veterans of Foreign Wars, In the closing session of their 22nd annual encampment here, today demanded that conscientious ob jectors be given their choice of serving in a non-combatant branch of the war effort or be ing treated as military prisoners or army deserters. The Veterans, In a resolution. asserted that certain state of ficials had suggested conscienti ous objectors be employed in state institutions. They objected vigorously to "coddling" the ob jectors in this manner and sug gested service on mine sweep ers, or in ambulance or hospital corps for those who object to fighting because of religious scruples. I Continued Prom Pag On.) all values. That need not be done this time if the nation can be kept on a sufficiently high level of prosperity to enable the treasury to drain around $13,- 000,000,000 a year in taxes. It Is collecting this coming year about $24,000,000,000. U it continued these confiscatory rates after the war (which of course is impossible because you cannot run a profits system without good profits) it could use about $10,000,000,000 a year for debt retirement and pay off the debt In 20 years. Certainly these figures show: (1) A national prosperity in come of at least $100,000,000, 000 a year will have to be main tained after the war to support the kind of debt and govern ment we are in. (2) Vast post-war peace e penditures such as financing the industrialization of farming na tions with our publio funds or a quart of milk a day for the citizens of the world, cannot be undertaken with any reasonable expectation of maintaining gov ernment financing. N other words, we would work a niirGalii.. nut hv rarofill BnH ' - . . succes.'ful planning, but we can not afford to throw money around the world. Some authorities even ask If the treasury can raise so much money to run the war. That will be the easiest part of it. Little Ingenuity is ever required to run up debt. Paying is gen erally the troublesome part. Obviously, such vast sums are required that most of the war debt will have to be taken by banks and Insurance companies. Commercial banks and federal reserve banks will get the bulk of it, and the government can practically force them to take any Interest rata it considers likely to be enough to keep their doors open. For instance, this coming fis cal year $77,000,000,000 is being spent end only $24,000,000,000 is being raised by taxes, another $10,000,000,000 will come from sale of bonds to savings banks. Insurance companies, govern ment trust funds, etc. That leaves $43,000,000,000 to be raised by war bonds. AT present . the treasury la selling bonds at a rata ot about $5,000,000,000 a year. Mr. Morgenthau expects to bring this up to $12,000,000,000 by his new super drive. If ha does, the commercial bank will have to take the rest, about $31,000,000,000. Even a compulsory bond buy ing program would not change this situation materially. Th most that could be expected from it is $20,000,000,000. which would leave the commercial banks to absorb $23,000,000,000. Clearly the banks must take between one-third and two-fiftha of the whole expenditure, and that percentage will rise. They have no money themselves, ex cept the people's money deposit ed with them. Figures may be boring to th average Individual but these kinds of figures need his atteni tion. because they Involve the sweat of his brow, as well a the economic and political fu ture of this country.
