Ktimli (United Press Staff Correspondent) Great Britain's labor government has Introduced a "safe and sane" budget in its first major step toward restoring the country's post-wor economy. The budget, especially in Its income tax provisions, Is as kind as possible to the little man, but at the same time shows no great "soak the rich" tendency. Probably Its most striking feature is its encouragement to private enterprise. London financial and stock exchange quarters reacted favor ably, Indicating confidence that no radical socialization or state management measures will be pressed during labor's five-year plan of reconversion. REASSURANCE AGAINST SOCIAL REVOLUTION ' The government thus has reassured the country that It does not contemplate a major social revolution, as some Tories had pre dicted gloomily during the heat of the election campaign. The mass of the electorate had no such fear when it voted labor Into office by such an overwhelming majority. After all, Britain had had a labor government before, even if It lacked the wide powers of the present one. In its income tax provisions, the budget removed about 2,000,000 of the lowest wage-earning group from the tax rolls. The standard tax rate was reduced by 10 per cent, and personal exemptions restored to their pre-war level, bringing some direct relief to the poor man. The cuts were partially offset by a comporatlvely small In crease in the surtax on incomes of more than $8,000 a year. This tax rises in the highest bracket to 97V4 per cent. It is more rugged than the surtax on big incomes In the United States, but is based on the same principle. Both eliminate the possibility of large for tunes derived from income. The new British revision affects about 123,000 persons. EXCESS PROFIT TAX SLASHED DEEPLY In its most important other tax provision, the budget slashed the excess profits tax from 100 per cent to 60 per cent. In addi tion, the government will speed up the return to Industry of 20 per cent of the excess profits tax collected during the war. It will mean pumping about $1,000,000,000 into industrial expansion. The Idea behind the latter measure Is to furnish a profit incen tive for greater production. The government expects that its in come tax provisions will tend to divert the Increased profits into plant expansion instead of dividends to stockholders. Industries and business concerns also will benefit by the reduction of the standard tax rate. The government's expressed to maintain and eventually raise to restore British economy by producing more goods for export. In presenting the budget, Hugh Dalton, chancellor of the ex chequer, said production must be concentrated for the present on capital rather than consumer goods. In other words, the machinery to turn out goods for export must be created before present home consumer shortages can be remedied. Like Winston Churchill with of the war days, Dalton promised five-year plan. He pledged, however, that the existing living standard would not be lowered even if It Involved higher govern ment subsidies.

Today I visited the Central Park zoo in response to an ur gent request by four subscribers each having the first name Ruse. These young women wanted me to take a look at the hippopota mus named Rose. They seek my support for their organization: "The society opposed to naming a hippopotamus Rose." - They indignantly state It Is an outrage to have attached the name Rose to the ugliest animal In the zoo. They wanted me to go over and take a good, long look at this hippopatamus io I could understand the Justice of their objections. I did so. 1 am inclined to strongly sympathize with these subscribers. While the hippopatamus may be the ugliest animnl in the zoo I think the most curious looking crea tures tnere are the giraffes. In cidentally, one of the giraffes has been named Pauline.

Have vou consider ed the fact thst the safety razor noicier is an Important factor in how long a blhde will con tinue to give a good shave. That Is, some holders .make a Hade last longer than others. Depends on the dtslgn of what s known as the tnneent ancle which regulates the angle at which the blade is held as It planes the hair oft the face. Next to the sharpness of the blade and the angle at which it shaves the most important thing is the exteiit of the warmth of the water used and time token in preparing the beard. The wa ter should be 120 deg. Fahren heit. At 'oast three minutes should be taken to prepare the beard. Before applying the shaving crexm wash your face twice. Such are tne findings of Dr. Lester Hollander and Elbrldge Casselman of the Mel lon Institute University of Pitts burgh. These two distinguished gentlemen conducted extensive research on the matter of get ting a good shave. Ties Bow ties seem to be doing a comeback. Wearers of this type of ties seem divided In opinion as to which Is better the ready- made tie wnlch clips to the col lar or the one which the wearer has to tie himself I favor the latter.

L'e Mall Trlouna Want Ada. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Oct. 24 The first studied picture of how things were run inside the madhouse of the nazi state has been ob tained by our 1 n t e 1 1 igence people from captured lead ers. This clears much of the foolish ness glibly aired by Hitler officers in their inter views with ram aiallun news reporters or at all accounting, the state ment of one Dr. Schacht does. Schacht was the only high German who had an intelligent mind. It was he who contrived the clever financial and econom is subterfuges by which Hitler built a bankrupt state into a world threat in a few years. He is Dr. Hjalmer Horace Greeley (imagine that old American jour nalistic middle name) Schacht. He quit Berlin when the arms expenditures started going mad at Hitler's direction, and was found interned by our invading armies. e e HIS opinion of top nazis: Hitlnr: 'T would not hplieve Hitler dead if he told me so him self." Herman Goerlng, the fat right-hand man of Hitler: "A fool, a coward and always a liar. He was in all things igno rant, and a charlatan." Goebbels, the propagandist: 'A terrible liar but the" best brain in the government, as well as a most courageous man. Himmlcr, who handled the discipline through secret police, purges and terror: "A dreadful, horrible man." Thyssen, who financed Hitler into power and then broke with him when the program started: A weakling of inherited wealth." e e e SCHACHT, I think gives the goods on the nazi leaders more honestly and accurately than any other one. Of the lim itations of Hitler's mind, he says der fuehrer never realized the war was lost, although. the oth ers realized it a year or more before the end. Hitler never dared hold a cab inet meeting after 1938 because those with intelligence in his group constantly opposed his wild planning. Gen. Udet, for one Instance, dared express op position merely to the Goering short-sighted air policy, and aft er correctly predicting Goering would lose German air suprem acy by 1944, shot himself. They were all very ordinary men, less than average in .acu men and warped bitterly and egotistically. The only way they could keep themselves in power to work their mad destiny was by crushing all common sense and still any voice of reason. Not one in character, foresight or any genuine virtue, could compare with the great men of history. e C"ROM Schacht also comes the first clear picture of secret German finance, the bookkeep ing magic by which the nazis de fied arithmetic for a time. He says Hitler started really arm ing for the war first in 1937 and 1938 when his budgets con tained three billion marks (both years) for armaments. This was at the time when Mr. Roosevelt was submitting amiable plans for world peace and thinking the re moval of trade barriers would do it. The Swiss quotation on the mark then was around 3 cents, which would mean the annual arms budget was around $90, 000,000 in our currency two- fifths of which went for the air force then, as thereafter, until the end of the war. The money was raised by bond issues bear ing 34 per cent interest and the banks were required to take them. Schacht protested to Hitler In 1938 that the system he had set up to beot bankruptcy could not stand such expenditures, and after a couple of scenes with Hitler, he quit. The amount of currency outstanding then was only eight billion marks, but hereafter Hitler inflated it ten times to 80,000.000,000 marks.

COLDS marks and Hitler ran U up to 450 billions at the war's end, quintupling It . This would seem to make the nazi war cost around 430 billion marks of which about 70 billion was raised by infla tion, and 360 billion by seizing savings and working money of citizens through bond issues im posed on the banks. At a 3-cent mark the cost could be computed roughly at some where around $12,900,000,000, a drop in the bucket of our cost, which has increased the debt from about $250,000,000,000, without considering tax receipts which reached $45,000,000,000 last year. Of course, Hitler was not required to finance the world, and gave little aid even to his ally, Italy. The lesson which can be learned from the sound Schacht evidence is twofold. (A) Nazidom shows what de fective mentalities can do when they attain absolute power and exclude reason. (B) You cannot long cheat arithmetic even in a controlled state.

This list includes the construction of postoffice buildings in the fol lowing cities in my congression al district: Ashland, Lebanon, Bandon, Myrtle Point, Central Point, North Bend, Coquille, Reedsport, Cottage Grove, Springfield, Junc tion City, Sweet Home. This constitutes only the first step toward the securing of these needed postoffice buildings. The list of projects covering every state in the Union is submitted to congress, along with proposed legislation for the authorization of this construction. The bill is being prepared now, and will be handled in the house by the com mittee on public buildings and grounds. When this bill is passed, which will undoubtedly include the above list of cities, it will be only an authorization under which the appropriations committee is empowered to ap propriate necessary jnoney for construction. The complete list contains 108 mimeographed pages. It car ries a total number of 4,020 pro jects, at a total cost of $774,795, 000. It is reasonably safe to pre dict that the authorization will be passed containing the entire list. Actual construction orders will require additional congres sional action, including the pas sage of an appropriation bill for the purpose. I do not think it likely that both the authoriza tion bill and the appropriation bill will be passed during this session. e a e WASHINGTON, D. C. weather has been at its very best during the past week. For two months in the fall and about two months in the spring, the climate h?re is excellent. The o t h e t eight months are from bad to awful. e e IMPORTANT and controver sial matters which will come be fore congress during the next several weeks will include the president's request for a military training program; the question of consolidating the War and Navy departments into a single department of national defense; the question of what to do with the atomic bomb secret; and sev eral other problems of outstand ing importance. It is obvious therefore, that there will be no early adjournment of this ses sion. e e e ALTHOUGH the discharge of servicemen by reason of age or point accumulation is proceed ing as rapidly as shipping and facilities permit at this tirre, there are many cases involving dependency and undue hardship wnere a discharge may be grant ed outside of the point require ments. Application for discharge be cause of dependency or hardship must Be filed by the serviceman with his commanding officer. UP GOES POINT REWARD! Now You Get 4 Points Instead of 2 for Each Pound of Used Fats Winter Is Near Get your warm Karakul Wool Blankets at the Sale In the Banquet room of the Holland Hotel. Open evenings till 9 p. m. SO. FIR The application must be accom panied by evidence indicating the necessity for discharging the serviceman to relieve or prevent excessive family hardship. Af fidavits from two or moro dis interested persons attesting to the situation at the serviceman's home, should accompany the ap plication. The local American Red Cross will gladly assist in preparing the evidence. The armed services in Wash ington do not start action for the discharge of any individual serv iceman. Jurisdiction is prim arily in the hands of the appli cant's commanding officer in the field, and only in cases where he has not final authority to act, does he transmit the application to Washington. Then only those carrying the commanding offi cer's approval are forwarded. The single exception to the above procedure is that, where a soldier is outside of the United States, families may submit evi dence and request for discharge to the adjutant general in Wash ington. If the War department determines that the case is worthy, the papers are com municated to the commanding officer who will approve the dis charge if the soldier so desires. Except for "special" classifi cations, enlisted men are eligible ior discharge on points as fol lows: Army, 70 points, and after Nov. 1, 60; navy and coast guard, 44 points, and after Nov. 1, 41; marine corps, 60 points.
