> South of Rome, Somewhere Once I thought that war was fun, I watched the battle flare, Now my best friend is missing Just south of Rome, somewhere. We were raised from babes to teen-age boys Without a thought or care, But now my buddy’s missing Just south of Rome, somewhere. I know that he fought gallantly For what he thought was right, From Rome ’way down to Anzio Y<ju’d find him in the fight. To some, war’s not much trouble Just a little more to bear. But their best pals aren’t missing Just south of Rome, somewhere. Tough Reading joe What’s your favorite book? Bill—My bank book, but even that is getting so it’s lacking in interest.

VICTORY in war cannot be bought with money alone. There is fighting to do which cannot be thought about m terms of money. "Wa<s always take a priceless toll of lff«r limb, health, sanity and And, along with all tnis, war calls for a vast amount of work. Money is only a medium of exchange, a relatively accurate measure of the work performed. The United States, now in the middle of the biggest struggle of all history, is spending money at the rate of 100 billion dollars a year. With the highest tax rates ever applied -in this country, our government is raising money at the rate of 40 billion dollars a year, borrowing the difference. We will be in debt for 60% of the war when it ends, if things go along as they probably will. Twenty BIG obligations usualBillion ly are made faster than they are paid, and nobody is expecting Uncle Sam to liquidate the war debt on armistice day. Fortunately for everybody it can be retired at a rate that is slower than fighting speed. Experts in various political camps agree that costs of running our government after the war will approximate 20 billion dollars a year. It’s a safe figure. Now 20 .billion dollars is a big sum to "work off in a year, but America can do it. We are raising 40 billion a year now with everybody working; surely we can raise 20 billion after the war.. Payments on debt, "interest, and

John Hyatt, Jr., of New Harmony, next to fire at the Nips, had a narrow escape. He killed two Japs with his tommy gun. He said, “I shot one and clipped the second just in time. He had a hand grenade Just ready to toss my way. The grenade went off while still in his grip.” Marine Corp. Kenneth W. Williams, of Lawrenceburg, volunteered to crawl tgr.the front line on Saipan to rescue his commanding officer, who Jirid been wounded. Although an assortment of Jap shells traced his progress forward, the Hoosier reached the top of a knoll identified as “bloody ridge” and dragged his wounded captain back to the rear line.

care of disabled veterans all will be in the 20 billion. We can do it if employment is high. We can do it with present tax rates cut in ha/f, but not unless there is work. Many Jobs PEOPLE who work Necessary will pay the biggest share of post - war taxes; there is no other way. Last year :wo-thirds of out national income consisted of wages and salaries. If all who pay taxes on incomes of $25,000 or more were seated in one stadium, all our millions res and some other rich people vrould be there. But the whole assembly could not pay half of 20 billion dollars a year—too few of t iem. These men can’t pay the entire expense of government but there is one thing they tan do: They can, if jermitted, keep factories running and jobs available for the rest of is, who, in the long-run, will ha e to work off that debt. Don’t fc rget that wages and dividends t >th are paid from earnings or investments, so employers mu t be permitted to earn profits. Noth: ig makes jobs but starting ne' businesses or enlarging old one s; 'both require investBut job holders will pay the nat onal debt. One fact is clear th urefore—the “expert” who advocat s taxes on corporations so big tha they drive away investments a nd destroy jobs is “penny wise an 1 pound foolish.” Such a taxing policy injures workers more others.
