:war purposes.
I B Billion
J The treasury budget called for
itotal expenditures of $59,027,
'992,300 in the fiscal year begin
ning next July 1. This included
' the huge war item plus $1,750,
f. 000,000 for interest on the pub
lic debt, and reduced allotments
for work relief, farm aid. gov
ernmental running expenses and
jother non-military costs.
i To pay for this, President
'Roosevelt estimated t';re would
,be $16,487,200,000 ot taxes from
existing tax laws, asked $7,000,
JOOO.000 of new general taxes (not
counting increased social secur
Jlty taxes, which do not count as
revenues.) and proposed borrow
ing of $35,540,792,000 from so-
cial security and other govern
iment trust funds and from the
J public.
J In the current fiscal year, he
'figured, treasury expenses would
total $30,675,7Ew,162, including
$23,996,525,400 for defense, and
I calculated that taxes would yield
J$ll,943,993,000, leaving a deficit
Jof $18,731,803,162 to be covered
by borrowing.
! This meant that the World war
- spending peak of $18,522,000,000
will be passed this fiscal year
and approximately tripled next
year.
Tax Program
The president asked congress
for an initial appropriation of
$13,600,000,000 to get the huge
new war program under way,
and said he would ask for addi
tional large amounts as the na
tion moved toward maximum
war production.
In his tax program, the presi
dent asked for approximately
$2,000,000,000 of added social se
curity taxes plus $7,000,000,000
XJt. uiwinc, wvv. 2J - t
and gift, and excise taxes. He
approved of almost any kind of
new taxes except a general sales
tax and he indicated that even
that type of levy later might be
come necessary on a temporary
basis.
Saying that taxes were import
ant not only to finance the war
but also to prevent inflation, hi
asserted, "any tax is better than
an uncontrolled price rise.
The president, however, of
fered a little bright news to the
general public, too.
He said the nation's produc
tive resources were enough in
spite of diversions to war output
to enable the people "to mam-
tain a standard of living more
than adequate to support the
health and productivity of our
people. , . . I do not at present
propose general consumer ration
cards."
While automobile tires are
already rationed, he explained
that "there are not as yet scar
cities in the necessities of life
which make such a step (general
rationing) imperative."
- -Non-military agencies of the
government, the president said,
will be cut more than $1,000,
000,000 in their next year's bud
gets. He predicted work relief
costs would go down from $942,
430,000 this fiscal year to $480,
075,000 next year; that farm aid
would decline from $1,117,082,
000 to $854,050,000; that aid to
youth costs (CCC and NYA)
would fall from $235,000,000 to
$100,000,00,0, and cited other
savings on administrative ex
penses of other agencies and pub
lic works.
Roads not needed for defense,
postoffices, and other public
works considered non-essential
would get no money, he said, un
less .they were already under
construction. He said he hoped
congress would skip its usual
blanket road-building grants to
states.

Big Convoy
A U. S. war department com
munique disclosed that Japanese
naval units massed in Davao bay
included a battleship, five cruis
ers, six destroyers, 12 sub
marines and 12 transports ob
viously a greater force than
would be needed merely to sup
port new landing operations in
the Philippines.
Davao, at the southern tip of
the Philippines, lies 600 miles
below the Manila fighting sector
where Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
heroic defenders were reported
still holding the Japanese at bay
on the approaches to Batan pen
insula. Force Standing
Today's war department bulle
tin said Gen. MacArthur's troops
were withstanding continuous
bombing and machine - gunning
attacks on their right front
northwest of Manila, with the
Japanese increasing their pres
sure amid heavy fighting.
The bulletin said at least 45
Japanese bombers again rained
explosives on the U. S. island
fortress of Corregidor and on
defenses in nearby Batan prov
ince, attacking for several hours.
U. S. anti-aircraft gunners
were credited with several hits
in peppering the raiders.
Further supporting the belief
that Japan's war lords planned
an attack on the Dutch colonies
possibly as a stepping-stone to
Australia was the report that
Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavel,
newly appointed allied command
er in chief in the Far East, would
make his headquarters in Java,
where the Indies capital, Batavia,
is situated.
At the same time, Lieut.-Gov.
H. J. Van Mook disclosed that
the Dutch have long been pre
paring a "scorched earth" plan
to prevent the Indies' oil fields
and industries from falling into
Japanese hands.

would come too late because of
military events which are about
to occur."
A German radio commentator
said "Roosevelt had enriched
his arsenal of phrases by the
quotation The world is too
small to provide sufficient liv
ing room for Hitler and God.'
Obviously Roosevelt believes
there is sufficient space for him
to rule as God's governor with
the universe as his final goal."
London headline writers, edi
torial writers, cartoonists and
columnists joined to impress up
on the British the magnitude of
the United States war effort.
AEF Note
The Daily Express, one of
Lord Beaverbrook's papers, used
as its banner headline: AEF Com
ing to Britain.
It reprinted a story of August
16, 1917, about the arrival of
American troops in London and
their march past King George V.
Beneath that, it carried in italics
the chorus of "Over There." In
other parts of the paper were re
produced pictures of US troops
in Britain during the World war.
A four-column cartoon on the
editorial page showed an eagle
borne United States soldier greet
ed by a British trooper. At the
back of the latter squatted a
grinning, hcl meted lion with the
union jack flapping from his tail.
Another London newspaper,
the Daily Telegraph, said editor
ially that the United States had
been summoned "to make the
greatest national effort the world
has ever known. . . . There is
no discharge in this war for Brit
on or American."
The London Times called Pres
ident Roosevelt's message Inspir
ing. The Daily Mirror said: "It
marks the end of American isola
tionism. We rejoice at their
awaking. And with all faith in
common victory, with all cor
diality in comradeship, we wel
come the coming of America to
help in manning 'the essential
fortress of tho world.' "

Added Caution Advised for
Winter Driving; Rules for
Motorists Given By Police
Wintry blasts with accompany
ing snow and ice usually hit most
cities in December, but the full
effect of "Old Man Winter" on
traffic and public safety will bo
felt this new year in January
Bnd February, Assistant Chief of
Police Earl Ileuvel declared to
day. In some communities, he point
ed out, January, February and
March traffic even may increase
over previous summer highs wt
a time when major hazards, slip
pery snow and ice utong with
reduced visibility, ore at their
worst. During December of 1941
in Klamath Falls there were 202
accidents, six persons injured
and one killed. The greater ma
jority of these accidents were
due to wintry conditions.
"In line with rules recom
mended earlier this winter by
the war department and the In
ternational Association of Chiefs
of Police to minimize traffic tie
ups and accidents costly to the
nation's war offensive, public
cooperation is requested when
dangerous conditions prevail,"
said Assistant Chief of Police
Earl Heuvel.
"When hazardous conditions
arrive, and while they do exist
during and immediately after
snow or sleet storms, patriotic
drivers must cooperate to con
serve cars by driving at slower
rate of speed, maintaining ade
quate vision with windshield
wipers, defrosters and vitally
necessary stop and go traction
with tire chains or else don't
drive," the chief declared.
The following logical precau-
Iinne rvncfri rtrt pvhBii.tiua r.

search by the national safetv
!,, ."
driving hazards, now become
necessary when conditions war
rant. These conditions are war
ranted in Klamath Falls at the
present time.
Skids on snow or ice are fre
quently started by unequalized
brakes. Be sure your brakes are
equalized. The practice of let
ting air out of tires for snow
and ice conditions does not pro
vide sufficient traction and in
creases instability and tendency
to skid on curves. It also breaks
down tires fast, making them
susceptible to blowouts.
Without chains even the best
tire treads slip and slide on snow
or ice. Tire chains bite into hard
packed snow or icy road surface.
Check your anti-skid cnaihs. Put
them on for more positive stop
and go traction when packed
snow or ice prevails.
Windshield wipers and de
frosters that don't operate lead
to winter accidents. Make sure
wipers and defrosters are in good
working order. You must see a
hazard to avoid it.
Faulty headlites arc causes of
winter accidents. Replace dead
light bulbs immediately. Havel
your headlights checked for
focus and direction. Use "traffic i
beams in city or when passing
other cars.
High speeds on snow or ice
are more than doubly dangerous.
It takes three to 1 1 times normal
distance to stop on snow or ice.
Adjust your speed to conditions.
Even when protected with
chains, speeds should be reduced
from those considered reason
able on dry pavements. Keep
an eye out for children on sleds.
Approach icy curves slowly even
with sand on ice or chains on
tires. If neither are present
'crawl." Avoid the necessity for
sudden stops on snow or ice if
you have neglected tp put on
chains.
Crowding other vehicles ahead
of you or at your side is criminal
carelessness on snow covered
pavement. Maintain plenty of
stopping space between your car
and the car in front of you. Al
low all the skid space possible
between your fenders and the
cars on each side. Don't try to
pass cars on hills or curves. This
is risky enough on dry pave
ments. It is foolhardy on snow
or ice.
Sudden slowdowns and stops
are a primary cause of sliding,
skidding and spinning. Slow
down gradually in gear and
"pump" brakes on-off-and-on to

chains cut stopping distances 40
to 50 per cent, add appreciably

Cold weather Increases danger
from carbon monoxide. Don't
stay in closed garages, or in an
old car with tightly closed win
dows, when warming up engine
Keep cowl ventilator open a bit
while driving to force monoxide
