Show TATHF TOTTPIER COTTTH ! Early Bird By Edward C. Wayne WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Gilding Cattails Cattails can be treated for painting after they are thoroughly dried. They then can be painted with a mixture of banana oil dissolved with bronze paint procurable from any art dealer. The mixture, of the consistency of thin paste, is brushed on the cattails and dried again.

These were the tax bill, the g bill, and the bill, the latter linked inseparably y with the bill. The tax bill, it was apparent, would be voted into existence minus the requirement that all married couples file joint income tax returns. this will cut Roughly, $250,000,000 off the yield of the law," which will then have a ceiling of about $3,200,000,000. This is to be divided, roughly, into a billion for income taxes; a billion for miscellaneous and special taxes; and a billion and a third for corporation income taxes, a small balance coming from gift taxes. The draft extension bill showed the opposition to the administration losing one battle after another, but reforming their lines wdth more support after each defeat. When the administrations resolu tion calling for an extension of present draftee terms by 18 months was brought to a vote, the senate passed the measure by a vote of 45 to 30. This meant that total term of draftees, National Guardsmen and reserve officers would all. serve a total of 2 Vt years. The bill went front the senate to the house following the vote. draft-extensi- price-fixin- draft-industr- ; The price-fixin- and g draft-indust- ry bills were chartered along a more difficult course. The latter passed the house, but immediately there started in the opposition press a battle, claiming that there was a threat to the freedom of the press and freedom of speech through radio as these businesses, too, might be seized by the government. Leon Henderson seemed the center of this fight, and many in congress declared they would feel more kindly toward the bill if they felt more confidence in Hendersons ability to carry it out. Indeed, the house appointed a special, committee to oversee the enAs to price-fixin- g, forcement of this legislation. JAPAN: ft'amed Again ; J London warned Japan that if she moved against Thailand in any way, she would find that Britain would consider such a move as a definite threat to Singapore, and would act accordingly. This was seen as a sort of confirmation that the British are sending ' expeditionary forces of occupation into Siamese territory, and that any Japanese effort to cut the Burma road will bring the world W'ar to the Far East. The statement came from Foreign Secretary Eden, making it in the house of commons. It had been rumored that 100,000 British troops would be sent to Thailand from eastern bases, and that a considerable British fleet already was in those waters. ' it also was believed that Japan was committed to - move against Thailand by its agreement with the other Axis powers. This was visioned, as part of a squeeze play against India. And . From Rome came the report that Bruno, the second son of Benito Mussolini, had been killed in an air crash while on a plane testing flight near Pisa. He was 22 years of age and ranked as a Captain of Aviation. He had seen action in three wars. In Ethiopia, in the Spanish war and .in the present war he had engaged in What Italian sources described as daring and risky actions. The governmental placing of silk in the vital raw material category closed down the silk hosiery industry and sent American women in a wild blitzkrieg on the. silk stocking counters of the nation. There were no tears shed over the situation, the women apparently regarding the whole thing as a sort of a gay lark, and dashing into the stores to stock up just to be doing something more than for any other reason. For surveys of womens opinion showed that the ladies were perfect- ly willing to go essary; to spray if nec- bare-legge- d, on stock- makeup their legs, or to wear cotton, e, n, lows Md., that with through Charles Ernest Keller, known to his mates as King Kong Keller, who may be the fourth Maryland entry to lead the league in home runs before the season ends. The fame of Baker, Ruth and Foxx in order has been plastered in printers ink all over the map. But Keller is practicing quick starts in the general direction of his three famous predecessors and he deserves far more polite mention than he has received to date. More About Keller Id like to tell you more about Charlie (King Kong) Keller. He was born in Middletown, Md., September 12, 1916, which means he is still shy of 25 years. He is five feet ten in height, weighs 195 pounds and every pound is either raw steel or rawhide. ne is close to being the strongest man in baseball, and one of the fastest.
