Quelled With Fire Hose

They beat an officer of the guard “brutally.” One German was hit in the leg by a ricocheting bullet when

four warning shots were fired. Two prisoners received - light bayonet wounds. A hole was chopped

through a roof, and a fire hose used

to quell the uproar.

Some Germans went on a two-day

hunger strike. But Ralston said the Germans at Bowmanville, and at 14

other camps in Canada were shackled as ordered, and still remained so.

There was minor trouble at an-

Designers Agree Simplified Dresses Can Still Be Pretty

By CORRINNE HARDESTY ' United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—Designers, manufacturers, artists and plain citizens agreed today that War Production’ Board Chairman Donald Nelson’s plea for simplified civilian clothes was just another challenge to American ingenuity and no hardship tp speak of. The production czar warned in Washington yesterday that “the time has come to speed simplification of civilian clothing” but denied he had in mind a “set uniform.” “The designers will manage all right,” said Fira Benenson who has been whipping ‘out smart models ever since she was knee high to a pincushion. “We do our best work in the face of difficulties. It challenges the imagination.” ’ Gladys Swarthout, Metropolitan opera star and many times on the

That, however, is looking a great way ahead. The Russians may

hold Stalingrad and the Caucasus but only an incurable optimist could expect them to crush Germany’s army of 3,000,000 men in the predictable future. When the allies open a second front, then it will be time to hope for a grave German defeat that would impel the miltary clique to take over from the Nazis. It is possible that the. British may start a massed offensive in Egypt, but the defeat of Marshal Erwin Rommel alone might not prove sufficient to cause an internal crisis in the reich, as long as Germany controls

‘'s War Moves By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst Hitler's apparent failure to gain his 1942 objectives in Russia, in the face of staggering losses, is due to have a serious effect on German morale but will be far from sufficient to break it, in the opinion of competent allied and neutral observers. ~ The report” comes from a diplomatic source in London today that Hitler is considering the possibility of having to give ay to a military dictatorship if Germany suffers a

If the day ever comes when Hitler is forced to step aside in favor of the army, the effect on German morale would be profound and perhaps disastrous. The German people have been taught to pin‘ their faith on Hitler and his many victories in three years of war have convinced many of them of his invincibility. The of théir fuehrer would shake the German people to the foundations. Convinced by Victories The latest report on German morale was brought to London pri-|h vately by a neutral last month and has been made available by the

He said: “The German people are determined to fight through to the end end many still" believe in victory, but they no longer pretend to see how or when the end will come. “One or two high army officers declared that the Caucasus should be occupied before the winter, that the winter would be fairly quiet and that the summer of 1943 ought to bring the occupation of Moscow after heavy and costly fighting, No Sign of Morale Break “Even to the most wishful think-

SPENDINGS TAX T0 FORE AGAIN

Some Form of Proposal to Be Offered by Treasury,

Capital Hears.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 (U. PJ). —There were increasing indications today that the new tax bill Secre-

genthau Jr., is preparing to submit to congress would include some form of the treasury’s spendings tax. Mr. Morgenthau and his tax experts submitted the spendings tax proposal to the senate finance committee Sept. 3 and it was practically “laughed out of court” the same day. Members criticized it mainly as being “too complicated.” The treasury has contended that by using the special, spendings tax return form it has prepared, taxpayers would find it no more “complicated” that the regular income tax. Two of the treasury’s tax experts, General Counsel Randolph Paul and Tax Research Director, Roy Blough, spoke for the spendings tax during the last three days at Cincinnati sessions of the National Tax conference. 6 Billion Yield Seen

It was pointed out further that} the promised new bill would be drawn to yield “at least $6,000,000,000” and that Mr. Morgenthau himself said “it might be much more.” It has been 'suggested in some quarters that the treasury’s new revenue bill would follow some form of the Ruml pay-as-you-go plan. However, no support of this suggestion was forthcoming at the treasury which has consistently opposed the Ruml plan. At Cincinnati Mr. Paul argued that the spendings tax permits the taxpayer to “assess himself.” As a supplement to income tax, he said, it “affords low-income receivers an option to reduce their current consumption or increase their tax liability. ”
