The extent to which they have been purchased by individuals of large wealth in order to avoid income taxes has been much exaggerated. Tax-free securities deprive the Federal Government of revenue which must be made up by the mass of taxpayers, most of them of small means. The privilege with regard to future issues by States and municipalities should be withdrawn, just as has been done concerning future Federal issues. There is no reason why the House committee should not have discriminated between outstanding bonds and future issues and made only the latter subject to Federal income taxes. It would be most unfortunate should its action block this imperatively needed reform.

K. There are no tax exemptions for veterans in Pennsylvania. DARING COMMANDOS Who are the British Commandos? J. E. The British Commandos are volunteer units composed of men from the regiments of the British Army.

Accepted only after rigid examinations, these men are given specialized training to enable them to operate under all conditions. Lord Louis Mountbatten is Chief of the Commandos who have engaged in daring and highly successful raids on enemy territory. GASOLINE FOR DOCTOR If an automobile is registered In the name of a woman but used only by her husband, who is doctor, who must rrf latrr for the gasoline rationing- card? If the wife registers, will that mean the doctor cannot obtain unlimited gasoline? J. G. Any adult, if deputized by the owner, can register for the gasoline rationing card but he must have the owner's card and all Information required.

The rationing card wUl be issued in the woman's name since she is the car owner, but the doctor can obtain an unlimited supply of gasoline if this is the only car at his disposal. MAJOR BOWES How old is Major Bowes? M. C. D. Major Bowes' birthdate is a closely guarded secret, but it is believed that he was born about, 1876.

EMPLOYMENT OF ALIEN Can a registered alien be employed by a concern engaged in building and repairs? E. H. A registered alien can be employed on any contract, no matter how confidential, if his prospective employer obtains a permit for his employment from the Authority which has issued the contract for work to be done, for example, the Army or Navy. The case will be investigated and a permit for employment granted, depending on the man's record. OSCAR LEVANT Please give a brief biographical sketch of Oscar Levant and include something about his Wanted: More Aircraft Carriers Senator Byrd, discussing naval building policy the other day, declared that "emphasis should be put on construction of aircraft carriers rather than battleships." Furthermore, said Senator Byrd, "carriers ought to be constructed as rapidly as possible." If the warfare In the Pacific particularly the Battle of the Coral Sea, so far as we know its details has proved anything, it has demonstrated the growing importance of the aircraft carrier.

In the Coral Sea engagement, for the first time in history on such a scale, opposing aircraft carriers, with their death-dealing planes, played a decisive part in the struggle. Because of the increasing realization of the aircraft carrier's vital role in modern war strategy, it is reassuring to learn that emerging changes in Navy Department organization and in the naval construction program emphasize naval aviation and carrier transport of planes for duty at sea. The major question appears to be whether enough is now being done to broaden the aircraft carrier program and to speed the production of these ships. The Navy has announced that It has seven aircraft carriers in service and 11 building. But it has been reported that an aircraft carrier building program greatly in excess of the announced figure either is being formulated or is already under way.

Regarding our program of seventeen battleships, two were commissioned last year, twelve are now building in Government shipyards and three more in private yards. While it is not possible at this time to draw accurate comparisons between the cost of -battleships and that of aircraft carriers, the price of a modern battleship amounts to something more than a pretty penny. The cost of our new battleships runs from $76,885,750 for the lightest type to $135,072,000 for the heaviest. The seventeen new battlewagons will set Uncle Sam back a total of about $1,700,000,000. Battleships still form the backbone of our Navy and, even though they have played little or no THE INQUIRER'S PLATFORM To print tha tilwi accurately and feartestly, but nsvar to fce content wiK merely printicg the newt; to strive always to uphold the principles of our American democracy, to war relentlessly against alien to fight intolerance, to be tho friend and defender of those who are persecuted end oppressed; to demand equal justice for employer and employed, to work for the advancement of industry in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, to eipose political hypocrisy and corruption; to be just, to be fair and above all to be unswervingly independent; to ght and never to cease fighting to maintain the sanctity of personal liberty and the inviolability of human rights.

IT A Blackout Room in Every Home Sectional blackout tests conducted in Philadelphia during the past week proved successful. They demonstrated an encouraging spirit of co-operation on the part of the citizens generally and thowed that the various auxiliary forces are on the job. Defects here and there were of a type that can be straightened out. Violations were relatively few, most of them due to forgetfulness and carelessness. A discouraging feature was the number of dwellings that continue to be without rooms set aside for use during blackouts.

Some householders complied with the darkening requirement simply by turning out all the lights in their homes and then went outside to see the sights. Technically, such persons were observing the regulations, but they may find cause, sooner or later, to lament their shortsightedness. When blackout periods are not for one hour but possibly for whole nights at a time, those without blackout rooms will find that total, compulsory darkness in the home can be extremely inconvenient. More and bigger tests, of course, will iron out the kinks in the system and will give the wardens and other auxiliaries needed experience. Future blackouts should be on a regional instead of a sectional basis, to cover this whole target area.

Unscheduled blackouts should be called to test the people's alertness and preparedness. In this connection it would be a good idea to test the sirens which the city has installed but has not yet tried out. Surprise blackouts cannot be successful unless the warning signal can be heard by everyone affected. A BIG SHINY APPLE FOR TEACHERS!

Barton Active Liver Aids Body Processes A few years ago I found myself writing about the liver and gall bladder two or three times a month. I tried to tell readers that the liver was rightly called the "king of the organs," not only because of the many jobs it performed, but because a sluggish or slow acting liver and gall bladder affected the physical processes and the mental and emotional processes also. In fact, a sluggish liver and gall bladder could not only cause the skin to become yellow but could make us yellow low, in courage also.

It would seem that some individuals inherit a normal or active liver and gall bladder just as others inherit a normal heart. This active liver allows them to eat what and when they like without disturbing their physical and mental processes. However, they are the exception because it is found that not less than three of every five men and women past the age of 40 have some disturbance of liver and gall bladder, power. However, there can be no doubt that in a naval war of movement in the immense stretches of the Pacific it has not yet been shown that the super-dreadnought is Indispensable in the sense that cruisers and destroyers are indispensable.

In the early days of our Republic, when people were supposed to be much more moral than in these free and easy-going times, lotteries for charitable purposes were accepted as entirely proper. They were even used to raise money for churches. Nobody knows how many million dollars the American people bet every year on the horses without helping the Government. Why should any of our "good" people be scandalized by the thought of a Government lottery, honestly conducted, giving everybody a chance for his money? Some folks who play cards for money are the first to hold up their hands in holy horror at the mere suggestion.

Applicants for cards are loud in their praises of the teachers courtesy, patience and capability, but it is a question whether the public fully realizes the extent of the burden of responsibility and hard work which they so cheerfully and patriotically assumed. In this emergency the authorities naturally turned to the teachers, so admirably equipped by training and intelligence, for this difficult job. Although they gave of their time and strength with-cut special compensation, which would have been richly earned, it was not a thankless task, as the community's expressions of gratitude clearly attest. The teachers have the satisfaction not only of feeling that they discharged their arduous responsibility with great credit to themselves, but of knowing that their efforts are fully appreciated.

Their best reward is the consciousness of duty well done. these symptoms are really due to the ceivable that It may become advisable to taper off would consider it unpatriotic to wife. F. S. Oscar Levant, composer and pianist, was born on Dec.

27, 1906, in Pittsburgh. Obliged to leave school when he was 15 he went to New York to earn his living as a musician and while playing for dancing classes studied piano with Sigls-mund Stojowski. Later when in Hollywood as composer and assistant to a motion picture producer, he studied with Arnold Shocnberg. He has been soloist with the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia, San Francisco and other orchestras; composer of musical comedies and popular songs; contributor to periodicals, and frequent guest on the radio program "Information He married Barbara Smith, musical comedy actress, in 1932. They were divorced the following year and in 1939 he married June Gale.

Mrs. Levant, whose real name was June Gilmartin, was born in San Francisco. At one time she and her three sisters were dancers in George White productions; she has also appeared in motion pictures.

Although, there have been several sun spots in the past three months the sun spot cycle is falling off at the present time and the number of sun spots in the future will be fewer.

Salute to Teachers To the Editor of The Inquirer: Speaking for an organization keenly concerned with community service, I desire to salute the teachers for the fine and generous standard of such service which they have established in the handling of the registrations for Selective Service and rationing.

All the talk now is about reducing exemptions of married couples and single persons. Under the first income tax law, married couples were not taxed unless their income exceeded $3500 a year. The exemption was steadily "whittled down until it became only $1500.

Now they are talking of cutting this to $1200. At the same time we are threatened with a plan for forced lending to the Government through a checkoff on pay envelopes. In Philadelphia we now have the check-off for the wage tax. We are also being urged to pay our debts, including obligations at the bank that ordinarily might be allowed to run along for years so long as the interest is keit up. But many of us with small incomes that scarcely suffice to pay the butcher and grocer and the landlord, to say nothing of clothes for the wife and children, will have to borrow more money, Instead of paying off debts, if family exemptions are lowered and tax rates are raised.

BOND AND MORTGAGE What is meant by the bond in a bond and mortgage? M.M. In substance the bond represents the personal obligation of a person executing it for the money lent to him. By executing this instrument he gives the mortgagee the right to obtain judgment against him for the full amount of the loan if he defaults. The bond is thus equivalent to a promissory note authorizing the entry of judgment upon default. The mortgage is the security for the debt and gives the mortgagee a first lien on the particular property over any other creditors that the mortgagor may have.

End All Future Tax Privileges The sweeping manner in which the House Ways and Means Committee has rejected the Treasury's proposals to tax the interest on State, municipal and other public securities is most disappointing.
