Are Being Eliminated The "ghosts" which have been haunting the telephone lines in an area along Northeast Capital avenue shortly will be "laid," as Michi gan Bell Telephone Co. cable repair men complete the job of drying out three flooded cables, northeast of the Fremont street intersection. About three weeks ago the company started drying out the cables, one main cable encasing 900 pairs of wires, another of four hundred and one 900-pair cross cable. In some manner storm sewer water flooded the cables, seeped in at points where electrolysis had eaten through the lead sheathing, and "scrambled the talking." The result was that two parties engaged in conversation might hear faint scraps of other conversations, or more generally one of the two parties talking might hear it. or sometimes both parties to a conversation might hear extraneous bits from two other conversations.

Electrolysis, which bedevils cables at points where street car tracks, i even when out of use. cross or parallel the telephone lines, eats out the lead with feeble impulses and moisture enters the insulation with strange results.

Basra, at the head of the Persian gulf, is the kingdom of Iraq's only seaport, the home of Sinbad the sailor of "Arabian Nights" fame, and an overnight stop for commercial planes on the hop over the Persian gulf between Palestine and Bahrein island. American ships ply the Indian ocean to Basra carrying dates, licorice roots and other middle eastern products, but the port is chiefly noted among travelers for its airfield with a modern air-cooled hotel.

Li MONEY IN 31 DAY MelOMONTHS to REPAY C7 For Cuba LISBON. Portugal Pi Former King Carol of Rumania and Mme. Magda Lupescu were on their way today to a refuge in Cuba. They sailed last midnight aboard the American export liner Ex- cambion for Bermuda, where they planned to transfer to a British ship or plane for the trip to Havana. With them was Carol's trusted palace chamberlain Ernest Urdarea-nu.

their companion in the flight which began September 6 when an iron guardlst rebellion sent him hurrying from Rumania to Switzerland, then to Spain and finally to Europe's "front door" in Portugal. The exiled king and the red-hair ed woman for whom he once before renounced his rights to the throne. slipped aboard ship Friday after noon and locked themselves in Carol's suite, where they held court for friends until sailing time. He sent Urdareanu out. however, to express his appreciation of Portugal's hospitality and to explain that he had chosen Cuba for sanctuary not only because "it is neutral.

But it has a first class climate." "I still need a rest." Urdareanu quoted Carol, "and it goes without saying that there will be no political activity on my part while away from my own country." Carol appeared on the passenger lust as "Count Vrancea." and Madame Lupescu. who was assigned to a modest stateroom on the prom-' enade deck, as "Madame Helene Lorenz." Stuart L.

Gibraltar was just not worth that cost. Whenever the Nazis think they can feed Fascist Spain, they will knock off Gibraltar as easily as they captured Italy. Dispel from your mind the common supposition that Hitler does not want Russia. The Reds are likely to be next, if the invasion of England fails or is not attempted. Russia is the raw material storehouse of Europe and Asia.

Hitler has been conquering mostly empty breadbackets so far. If he finds this is going to be a long war, he will arm himself for it by imposing German efficiency upon that treasure house of the world. The Germans seem very anxious to keep the United States out of the ar until the Nazi conquest is complete. No attack Hitler could devise would be less distasteful to the United States than invasion of Russia. Dangerous Notion The notion that Hitler will not fight on two fronts at the same time has also become dangerous.

The German general staff held that view during this war only as long as Germany was a small country. Now Hitler as a world power has 260 divisions under arms (over 3.000.000 men. Armies rot unless used. "You can do anything with a bayonet except sit on it" is an old army saying. The only fight on which his troops are now being used is a brief stretch in the Egyptian desert.

For the complete conquest of the Greeks. Yugoslavians and British in the Balkans he used only 40 divisions, leaving 220 to fight elsewhere. Obviously he now has the strength to hold Britain with air and sea attack.3 while moving against Russia, seizing Gibraltar, and extending his conquests in the near east. Another cliche that mu.st now be doubted is the one that "Germany mu.st win in 1941 or else The conquests which the Nazis have recently maoe and those they can easily make will strengthen Hitler materially for a long pull. Invasion of England is no doubt a temptation to a military strategist, but the risk of failure is great, and the psychological reaction would be devastating to Hitler's successes so far.

A better game would be to conquer Russia and the near east and then sue for peace, with some very sweet concessions to Britain and the United States.

Two Hundred German Planes Cause Extensive Damage And Many Casualties. LIVERPOOL (U R) Two hundred German planes bombed this city and the surrounding Merseyside area for hours last night, causing heavy casualties and damage.

Ten persons were killed when part of a church crypt, in which 300 persons had taken shelter, collapsed a a bomb hit the church.

I Some tax exiierts here thought President might have reference I to tax exemptions on public securi- I ties. Others observed that the sen 'fence might point toward possible lowering of income tax exemptions. Stephen Early, presidential secretary who handed the letter to reporters on the Watson lawn, declared "I'm not going to make any interpreta tions." Oppose Flexible System Meanwhile, in the house ways land means committee where the new tax legislation will originate, sentiment appeared developing against adoption of untried economic devices such as the flexible income tax system advocated by a group of 170 economists. The flexible tax system, under which the rate would fluctuate with living costs, was advanced chiefly as a means of offsetting the inflationary effects of the nation's multi-billion dollar defense spending program. Committee members said privately, however, they did not believe the inflation danger was sufficiently Imminent to warrant the government embarking on any "experimental" economic policies such as the flexible tax system or compulsory diversion of savings into government securities.

Several members indicated they favored sticking to the fundamentals of proposals made by the treasury jand the staff of the joint congressional taxation committee, includ ing higher surtaxes on Individual incomes and imposition of more and higher excise taxes. There were indications, too. that the legislators were thinking of ways to make the new taxes less burdensome on persons in the lower and middle Income brackets.
