require a “prohibitive” increase in the local tax rate, the taxation committee of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce asserted today. ~The tax committee's statement was contained in a lengthy analysis of the federation’s proposals which was submitted to the Indianapolis - school board. The school board is to act on the federations request this week. The chamber of commerce’s analysis showed that the granting of the requested pay raises would in- _ crease the school city tax rate 18.07 - cents, increasing the rate in 1944 ~ from 89 cents to more than $1.07. The federation had estimated their request, if granted, would necessitate a tax increase of only 6% cents.

Asserting that the middle-class taxpayers are now paying onefourth of their income in federal ‘taxes, the chamber recommended . that any voluntary increases be restricted to a net increase of not more than 15 per cent over the Jan. 1, 1941 salaries for any individual teachers as provided in the Little Steel wage formula. ~~ “That does not mean necessarily . that all are entitled to the over-all . 15. per cent increase. . . . for granted that there would be . some endeavor to apply these on a merit basis, with particular atten- ' tion to the lower paid teachers who have been in the school system a number of years and justify treatment by their training, years of experience and teaching ability,” the chamber’s statement said.

Differ on Valuations

increases and the chamber questioned whether the city should go any further than this. One of the points on which the chamber and the federation differed ‘in their analysis of the costs of the proposed pay increases was on the - matter of the increase in assessed valuation. The chamber said that “there was no substantial basis” for the federation’s assumption that the assessed valuation of property in the city will be increased by $7,000,000.

By ROBERT BLOEM

Not long ago an elderly gentleman called the ration board at 5436 E. Washington st. and asked to speak to Mr. Brown. He explained that he wds accustomed to nine cups of coffee a day, that he was too old to change his habits now, and that he was tired of fooling around with underlings. He wanted the head man of the board, Prentiss Brown. He was astonished to find that Mr. Brown “doesn’t work here.” “Things like that,” says Forrest Welch, chief clerk at board 49-3, “are what keep ration boards smiling. That's not typical, of course, because by now most folks are much better informed about rationing than that, but once in a while we get such calls.”

Sorry, the Law Is Law!

Board 3, headed by Robert E. Schreiber, takes care of the needs of about 50,000 persons. Its juris diciton is bounded on the north by Massachusetts ave. and the Big Four tracks to, 38th st., on the east by the county line, on the south by Raymond st. and on the west by Sherman dr. The 10 full-time, paid employees of the board are able to handle most of the work without volunteer aid except during rush periods suchas

of trained volunteer help in available. “Things are going pretty smoothly,” Mr. Welch says. “Of course, little cold spells always bring flurries of applications for extra fuel oil, and occasionally somebody gets into a jam like the lady who tried to save time for her grocer by tearing out ration stamps herself, but mostly it's just routine business.” That helpful lady, incidentally, found that her. grocer couldn't legally accept stamps unless he tore them out himself, and what was worse, that the board couldn't paste them back in the book for her. Sorry as the board staff was, law is law and the lady had to console herself with the thought that her unhappy experience was a good lesson for others who had overheard in the store.

This One Floored Them

One customer all the employees remember and would like to meet is the young lady who apparently thought she could live on love. She recently returned both her food ration books; across which were written— ‘Married! = Don’t need these now.” Members of the East side board who serve with Mr. Schreiber are Mrs. Edith Edwards, a real estate saleslady; W. S. Akin, advertising man; Silas J. Carr, retired auto dealer; Chris J. Greiner, heating and plumbing man; Carl J. Seytter, real estate man; Albert Thompson, farmer; Wayne M. Harryman, loan

man, and Thomas Flowers, railroad

Wearers of some of the fanciest costumes confessed they were altered from last year’s clothing. : Mingling with the civilians were thousands of service men and women and some white-helmeted air raid wardens, stationed at strategic posts on orders of Mayor F. H. LaGuardia, who figured the mass concentration of people might bring a token raid. Representatives of high society, who in other years were driven to church services in many-cylindered limousines, came in taxi-cabs ‘or horse-drawn hansoms.

Will'Go West

“If there were 1000 more Cedar Rapids in this country, we wouldn’t need to worry about making our war bond quota,” he said. “You can't get anything like this in Washington. You have to come to a city like Cedar ‘Rapids to see just how much our people on the home front are co-operating.” Before Morgenthau returns to Washington to direct the final phase of the second war bond drive he will visit Portland, Ore., and San Francisco. He chose to visit.Cedar Rapids first because Cedar Rapids 1s the nation’s first city to win the treasury : department’s “T” flag for participating more than 90 per cent in the payroll allotment plan for war bond purchases. Morgenthau concluded his visit by interviewing on the radio program, “We the People,” a cross-section of Cedar Rapids’ population. He talked with a dirt farmer, Arthur Williams, and his wife, whose only son, Greeley, was killed during the first day of the war in the Philippines.

sional sources today saw in the confiscation of Danny Calhoun’s yo-yo a blow in the feud between Vice President Henry A. Wallace and Rep. Clare Boothe Luce (R. Conn), This yo-yo—a delicate instrument capable of performing the intricate double ‘turn—was seized by a lynx-eyed senate guard who spotted it bulging:in 13-year-old Danny's pocket when: the Calhouns visited the senate gallery recently. All efforts to secure its return, including Danny’s written appeal

. to the vice president, have been

unsuccessful. Rep. Harold Knutson (R. Minn.), militant Republican leader, today pointed out that Danny was a constituent of Mrs. Luce—who first described Wallace's better world theories as “globaloney.” “Here we have another example of numerous New Deal vengeance,” Knutson declared. “Here is the same ruthlessness that murdered our little pigs; that plowed under our crops; that now seeks to knife the Ruml plan. “But this time they go too far. At least they should let us have our yo-yos. I hope, in the interest of national unity, the vice president will give it back.” % » “ » MEANWHILE, capitol hill yoyo experts expressed hope the senate sergeant-at-arms Wall Doxey would redouble his efforts to locate Danny’s property, which was inexplicably mislaid after confiscation. “Because of the war its hard to get good yo-yos,” ‘said - Ralph Kelly, 15, a page in Speaker Sam Rayburn’s office, “and it takes a very good one to do a double turn. The domestic victory models simply are not suitable. <The best ones came from the Philippines.” The double turn, Ralph explained, is a superlative maneuver combining skill of operation and excellence of yo-yo. “It’s when you throw down your
