such a loud sound that it seems impossible you cant see them. Some shells whine loudly throughout their
flight.
Others make only a toneless rustle.
It's an
indescribable sound. The nearest 1 can come to it is
the sound of jerking a stick through water. Some apparently defective shells get out of shape and make queer noises. I remember one that sounded like a locomotive puffing hard at about 40 miles an hour. Another one made a rhythmic sound as though turning end over end. We all had to laugh when it went over. They say you never hear the shell that hits you. Fortunately I dont know about that, but I do
know the closer they hit the less time you hear them. Those landing within a hundred yards you hear only
about a second before they hit.
The sound produces
a special kind of horror inside you that is something more than mere fright. It is a confused form of acute
desperation.

think the Germans are pulling back, until suddenly you are rudely awakened by a heinous bedlam of screaming shells, mortar bursts, and even machinegun bullets. Here is an example of these sudden changes. As things had died down late one afternoon, and the enemy was said to be several hiils back, I was wandering around among some soldiers who were sitting and standing outside their foxholes during the lull. Somebody told me about a new man who had had a miraculous escape, so I walked around till I found him. He was Pvt. Malcolm Harblin of Peru, N. Y,, a 24-year-old farmer who has been in the army only since June. Harblin is a small, pale fellow, quiet as a mouse. He wears silver-rimmed glasses. His steel helmet is too big for him.

RUMI BILL NOW IS FAVORED BY SENATE GROUP
Carlson Pay-as-Go Plan
Replaces Partial
Forgiveness.
WASHINGTON, May 8 (U. P). —The senate finance committee to- | day reinforced its decision to for. | give one year's taxes by voting 12-7, to recommend to the senate Monday the passage of the Ruml plan for- | giving a year’s taxes. The choice of the Ruml plan, amended by Rep. Frank Carlson, was made in place of a house-ap-proved measure carrying only partial forgiveness. With copies of the Carlson bill before them the committee then took up the task of rewriting its anti-windfall provisions to prevent “unjust enrichment” on exceedingly high incomes resulting from war profits. The committee voted 13 to 6 late yesterday for the Ruml principle of completely forgiving 1942 taxes {in order to place all taxpayers on (a pay-as-you-go basis. Two of the 13 voted, however, with a stipulation that some amendment must be made to prevent a windfall for persons whose 1942 income was higher than in 1943. George Seeks Action

Committee Chairman Walter FPF. George (D.

The goal is completion of all con- | gressional action by the end of next [oe in the hope that the treasury, { which opposes complete forgiveness, can inaugurate pay-as-you-go on July 1 by starting withholding taxes then.
Needs House Action
Even if the full senate accepts the committee's bill early next week, concurrence by the house will still be needed. Chairman Robert L. | Doughton (D. N. C.) of the house ways and means committee defeated two attempts to pass the socalled Carlson-Ruml bill in his months-long tax fight and is expected to fight bitterly against concurrence in.a senate bill carrying outright forgiveness of any full year

Schricker Urges Association
To Confirm or Deny ‘Politics’ Charge.
Governor Schricker today asked the National Education association in Washington to refute or confirm charges that N. E. A's new public school booklet, “My Part in the War,” is “political propaganda.” The booklet, which has been criticized as being New Deal propaganda, is under consideration for possible use at Tech and Shortridge high schools here and in several other high schools throughout the state. “As governor of this great state, I am proud to acknowledge the unstinted support our schools and their loyal corps of teachers are bringing to the nation’s war effort,” the governor said in his letter to the N.

6. 0. P. FIGHTS MAY INVOLVE COUNTY UNITS
Fabian Biemer Announces Intentions to Resign Over Squabbles.
By NOBLE REED
Factional squabbling among Republican leaders today threatened to involve all operations of county, city and township governments. Developments in the recent merry-go-round of one government unit testing its power against another with reprisals to ‘‘get even” in the race for control of the Republican party machinery include: 1. Refusal of two regular G.O.P. organization county commissioners to sign payroll vouchers for county councilmen in reprisal for the council's “crack down" policy on commissioners’ spending tactics.
Biemer May Resign
2. Announcement of Fabian W, Biemer, chief deputy county auditor, that he intends to resign becouse of what he described as “too much petty bickering.” 3. Threats made by several regular G.O.P. organization leaders that they will sponsor some “payroll adjustments” in the eounty government if the anti-organiza« tion Republicans attempt te eollect campaign funds from county ems ployees for the city hall-sponsored “Republican victory organization.”
Issue Pledge Cards
(Pledge cards calling upon both city and county employees to designate weekly or monthly “dues” to the anti-organization victory group were passed out yesterday. 4. Rumors of a general shake-up at city hall ostensibly to haild up stronger alignments behind Mayor Robert Tyndall in his fight to wrest control of the party away from the regular G.O.P. ward chairmen, 5.

STOCKHOLM, May 8 (By Wireless).—Although 8weden is completely walled around by German and Nazi satellites, the visitor here does not have a sense of being in a Nazi-dominated country. I have never felt myself among more sincere friends in my life. It makes a romantic picture to think of Nazi troopers clanking around the streets of Stockholm, but the fact is I haven't seen a single Nazi uniform. It is not customary to wear them in neutral countries. The Nazi flag flies impudently from the German legation opposite the royal palace, but otherwise the Nazis keep their heads down.
