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.

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

branch of the war effort or be
ing treated as military prisoners
or army deserters.
The Veterans, In a resolution.

ficials had suggested conscienti
ous objectors be employed in
state institutions. They objected
vigorously to "coddling" the ob
jectors in this manner and sug

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

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.
London, June 27. -OP) Tha

today and called for a com
bined general staff In an edt
torial declaring there had been
"too many symptoms of reluct
ance to subordinate personel
predilections or established In.
terests to the urgent need of
bringing fresh blood and fresh
ideas into tha conduct of tha
war."
"Things are seriously wrorvj,"
the Times said.
