It was the outgrowth of the realization of the need for service to the armed forces, plus the inability of any one of six USO agencies separately to carry the burden.

So the agencies, Jewish Welfare Board; Young Men's Christian Association; Young Women's Christian Association; National Catholic Community Service; National Travelers Aid Association: and the Salvation Army pooled their talents. In the last war, each served separately. Today, USO operates 2,952 clubs with 3,934 paid professional workers and 1,000,000 volunteers serving the 3,000,000 men and women who visit the clubs each month. USO, non-sectarian, provides religious literature for Protestant, Catholic and Jew, as well as spiritual guidance for all faiths. It IE national in scope but local in operation.

"Porgy and Bess;" 9 Service to the Front BLU Anti-FDRsWarned Community Property Law May Be Repealed "several of Texas' term electors have FORT WORTH Star Telegram says it has learned that anti-fourth been approached with the argument that continued opposition to the national administration might endanger the community property law, with respect to income taxes, and 'depletion of re- sei-yes' allowance given Texas oil men on incomt tax returns." "Basis for the argument is that other Democratic Congressmen might withdraw their support of the Texas delegation for the two measures if the intra-party fight continues and the state goes against the administration in the general election," says the paper. 'Pro-Roosevelt forces in the state were quick to deny that the arguments were offered as a threat," the'Star-Telegram adds. One of the pro-Roosevelt leaders at the state party convention in Dallas last week, Congressman iVright Patman of Texarkana, told Star Telegram from Austin that the Texas fight might "aggravate" the position which the tax law features occupy, but said he was sure the party argu- ments would not cause any action to be taken. "There has been a lot of opposition to both provisions," lie said. "The Treasury Department has made a recommendation to eliminate the depletion of reserves features." Patman said the" matter had not come up in any political arguments he has heard on his current trip to Texas, and had come up in no official meetings.

The Star Telegram says the depletion allowance permits about $350,000,000 a year to go untaxed in Texas on the theory that oil represent depletion of assets and take from future income. The community property law permits a husband wife to divide income of either. Patman said he would have a hearing in Washington "Wednesday and Thursday at which the oil question might come up. He said all Texas congressmen are for retention of both measures and pointed out that Speaker Sam Rayburn appoints members of the ways and means committee in which any change would originate.
