“In case of an air raid, remem-

. Neat little memos with that title will soon be hanging on hooks in the city’s kitchens. In case of an emergency they instruct: 1. Keep available ‘at least one quart of drinking water for each person in the house. Refill the bottle daily. 2. Always turn water faucets off everywhere when water service is interrupted. 3. Do not fill bathtubs with water following air raid alarms or during raids. 4. Do not telephone the water

rupted. 5. Do. not use the flush toilet when water service goes off. 6. Turn off the gas 'or electricity on the hot water tank if ‘water service is interrupted.

Boil Drinking Water.

.T. Bail drinking or cooking water if the health department advises. 8. Do not drink water obtained from your faucet or carts operated by authorities. 9. If drinking water has a chlorine taste, it is’ a sign of safety.

SENATORS SEEK

SIMPLIFIED TAX

George Names Committee To Study Wage Levies

In House Bill.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 (U.P.) — Chairman Walter F. George (D. Ga.) of the senate finance commit-

tee today appointed a three-man

subcommittee to study plans for simplifying the 5 per cent payroll tax in the house-approved war revenue bill. Senators Bennett. C. Clark (D. Mo.), Peter G. Gerry (D. R.1) and John A. Danaher (R. Conn.) were named to the group which will report its’ findings to the full committee when it goes into executive session later this month to discuss the $6,271,000,000 tax measure. .- “The general feeling in the committee is that this tax should be simplified,” Senator George told reporters. Senator George has agreed ‘with witnesses ‘who have told the committee that collection of the withholding tax would impose an immense bookkeeping burden on ‘employers, and in some .cases would be impossible because of the shortage of trained personnel and certain types of office machinery.
