PROBE BOY’S STORY OF MISTREATMENT
ELKHART, Ind., June 17 (U. P.) —Police investigated the case today of a 16-year-old Elkhart boy, suffering from malnutrition, who told them he ran away yesterday from an 18-hours a day job for $15 a month, . The youth accused his father of “farming htm out” to a farmer and then collecting his salary, according to the police. A scar on his chest allegedly was the result of a kick delivered by the farmer. Other forms of mistreatment by the farmer were described by the boy, police said. The youth said he summoned enough courage to run away after being threatened with reform school if he did not work.
Additional Money Would Be Collected Through Pending Bill.
WASHINGTON, June 17 (U. PJ). —Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. treasury now has set $12,000,000,000 as its goal for additional taxes under the new revenue bill scheduled for congressional consideration later this year. . His state ment represented a 25 per cent drop below the’ $16,000,~ 000,000 new taxes goal set by President Roosevelt early this year. “We ard now aiming at one-half of the cost of war through taxation,” Morguenthau said at a press conference. “With about $38,000,000,000 to be expected from present taxes this would mean that we would need an additional $12,000,000,000.” Cut to One-Half Morgenthau explained that he or-
of the war costs by taxation. Later he reduced this goal to one-half of war costs which is now the treasury policy. The reduction from the $16, 000,000,000 requested by Mr. Roosevelt in his budget message last January was brought about by the fact that the present law will produce about $4,000,000,000 more than originally was expected, Morgenthau said.
25 Per Cent in Bonds
Morgenthau said his recent statement that the treasury expected the public to invest 25 per cent of its income in war bonds'in the second half of this year was an over-all figure. In some cases where several members of a family have become war workers, he said, it would be possible for one or more to invest as much as 100 per cent in bonds, but he realized a 25 per cent investment would be an impossibility for most white-collar workers. “We estimate that national income for the second half of this year will be $72,000,000,000 and we need $18,000.000,000 or 25 per cent of that amount invested in bonds

ARGENTINA BREAK WITH AXIS SEEN
BUENOS AIRES, June 17 (U. P.). —Optimistic observers today interpreted President Gen, Pedro C. Ramirez's pledge that the new military government will “do what it ought to do” as confirmation that Argentina contemplates breaking off relations with the axis. These sources coupled Ramirez's remarks with the statement of Foreign Minister Vice Admiral Segundo R. Storni Friday that Argentina intends, “Step by step, to achieve
the position she should be in.”

On Broadcasts
SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINA, June 16 (U. P.) (Delayed).— Lt. Frederick L. Newmeyer Jr., former Pittsburgh advertising agency man and radio producer, has outwitted the Japanese, who tried to jam United States newscasts to troops in this area. Using army tent$ as a studio, Newmeyer improvised a loudspeaker system that will reach all the men in his attack squadron and overcomes thewould-be jammers. He uses a worn, chipped record of the Washington Post march to start and close the casts. “The only way the Japanese can take me off the air is with machine guns,” said Newmeyer, “and our squadron is seeing they don’t do that.”
GETS 120-DAY TERM FOR BEATING WIFE
Edward Nolen, 21, of 745 N. Sheffield ave, was fined $1 and costs and sentenced to 120 days on the state farm by William H. Sheaffer,
{judge pro tem, in municipal court
today on a charge of assault and battery on his wife. The judge assessed another fine of $1 and costs for resisting an officer. It was alleged that Patrolman Dulin Judd, one of the arresting officers, was injured in a tussle. Nolen was discharged on a child neglect charge in juvenile court yesterday when his wife, Zola, 20, refused to testify against him, When they left the courtroom they went to a downtown theater and Nolen is
alleged to have beaten her while]
in the theater.
an appointment to meet White the hight his wife was slain. She said that when he failed to keep the appointment, she telephoned him and he asked her to come to his home in a taxi. In a previous statement to police, Mrs. Beanblossom said that when she arrived at the White home, Mrs. White was dead. The witness admitted having several previous “dates” with White. Contention of State The state will attempt to prove to the jury of eight women, that White shot and killed his wife as she lay on the floor of their home begging for him to spare her life. Selection of the jury required more than six weeks of examining 1200 prospective jurors, an all-time record for any trial here. Prosecutor Blue told the jury that testimony will prove that White, enraged over his wife's alleged love affair with another man, shot her as they quarreled, then after talking with her as she lay on the floor wounded, shot her the second time. Cites Mental Strain T. Ernest Maholm, defense attorney, contended that White was suffering from a form of insanity at the time of the shooting as the result of their marital troubles. The attorney also said he didn’t believe the state can prove satisfactorily who actually shot Mrs. White. “There were two persons in the death room who handled the gun and the state will not attempt to introduce finger prints taken from the gun,” Mr. Maholm said. Police officers and Dr. Hubert L. Collins testified about finding the body of Mrs. White on the floor of the dining room of their home at 605 N. Grant ave. on Oct. 2. Police officers testified that in a purported statement to detectives, White said he shot his wife, “because she told me she was in love with some one else.” Both Dr. Collins and police officers testified they believed White was sane at the time of the slaying.
CLAIM ART REMOVED By UNITED PRESS The Berlin radio said today that
more than 12,000 valuable art objects, 500,000 books and manusecrips and 3,000,000 documents, including Papal bulls, have been removed to safety from Naples, Italy, target of 71 air raids since 1940.

Because oil is light, it is readily aspirated into the lungs.

A few drops a day or their intake from a spray for the duration of the average “cold” or siege of hay fever may be the means of injecting a considerable amount of oil into the lungs. If the oil is mineral oil, it is especially dangerous, because the lungs have no means of disposing of it except by coughing, and this protective reflex is not stimu-lated-—again because of the lightness of the oil.
MICHIGAN-INDIANA SYNOD NAMES HEADS
BLUFFTON, Ind, June 17 (U. P.) —Installation of officers for the next year and a business session today marked the close of the annual spring meeting of the Michigan-In-diana synod of the Evangelical and Reformed church. Rev. Simon A. Bennett, D. D,, superintendent of the Congregational Christian churches in Indiana, made the principal address at the closing session. Officers comprising the synodical council were elected late yesterday. They were: Dr. Robert C. Stanger, Detroit, president; Rev. Armin G. Frohne, Detroit, vice president; Rev. W. F. Bauman, Manchester, Mich., secretary; Rev. Earl Siebold, Ft. Wayne, Ind. treasurer, and Theodore Koerner, Detroit, lay member. Dr. Stanger sounded the kaynote of the three-day conference. declaring that “The Christian church is in a strategic position in the world today, not only in America, but in ‘Dr. Stanger said men now recognize the
