Non-Saluting Guard
Answers Rebuke in
Black and White
SACRAMENTO, Dec. 19 (X)
A commissioned officer pre
sented his pass to the sentry
at gates to Mather field and
drove in, but there was no
salute from the guard.
The officer returned, brus
quely asked why there was no
salute and received this reply:
"Sir, the tenth general order
taken from the soldier' basic
field manual instructed me to
'salute all officers and all
colors and standards not
cased.' You had the glass roll
ed up on your car, so I sup
posed you were cased."
Public relations officers at
the field, who released the
story, did not release the offi
cer's reply.
COURT FIGHT SET

on the ballot next November,
but the attorney general two
days ago held that expense ac
counts filed in connection with
the referendum were insuffi
cient. "As the situation now stands,
the referendum against the cig
arette tax will not be d laced on
the ballot." SneU said. 1
The measure would raise
about $1,200,000 a year, with
five-aixths of thai revenue, hinff
used for old age pensions and
one-sixtn for vocational educa
tion.
The measure was nassed in
the dosing hours of the legisla
ture alter a stormy battle.
The tax commission exnlained
it nmhahlv wnulH take, a fav
weeks to prepare for collection
os me. tax. and that in that
meantime, the court fight prob
ablv would start.
It was expected that the spon
sor or me reterenaum would
go directly into supreme court
in a mandamus action either
against SneU or against the tax
commission.

islature, should not be placed on

McPherson repeated the asso
ciation's position that "such a tax
was a nuisance tax and should
be submitted direct to the vot

While axis fortunes waned In i
the winter-frozen land of the So

oio w to the Rome-Berlin ag

Spain.
Blasting axis hopes that Spain
might now enter the war in the
world-wide alignment of the de
mocracies against the dictators,
the Spanish government an
nounced that Spain would main
tain her position of non-belligerency.
In effect,- this means that
Spain has flatly rejected pres

troops through Spain for an at
