U.S. Incomes Reach Record Breaking Total War Fattened More Than Over 1929 111 pl ftm ho) this Purse Is 8 Billion By Associated Press "Washington, Jan. 21. War fattened the national income to the record breaking total of 200,000,000 in 1941, or an average of $693 per person, government economists estimated today. This was $16,200,000,000 more than 1940 and even $8,800,000,000 more than the fabulous year of 1929.

In 1942, it is due to be more. How much more depends upon the extent of growing war expenditures, and also upon how much prices rise. The experts figured that about one third of the increase in national income last year was dissipated in the higher cost of things. Taxes, savings campaigns, credit controls, price fixing and other devices are counted on to remedy this trend toward soaring cost of living. Wages and salaries accounted for the biggest part of the national income, $48,000,000,000, which was 9 per cent, more than in 1940.

Army Rushes Van of AEF (Continued From Page 1) represented a trickle, at least, of the great flood to come, and the news enheartened the other united nations, particularly the Dutch and Chinese. The first official disclosure that the "Yanks are coming" origl nated with the commander in chief himself, Franklin D. Roose velt. Acknowledging that rein forcements and supplies were be ing sent to the South Pacific war zone, the President reported excellent progress in this exacting operation to his press conference yesterday. Official confirmation that fresh American troops were battle bound engendered no false optimism or expectations of major victories overnight in a Capital settling down for a long, hard war.

However, the military activity which President Roosevelt mentioned so sparingly backed up his promise to Congress on January 6 that no defensive spirit would govern the fight against the foe. Instead his pledge was: "We shall hit him and hit him again, wherever and whenever we can reach him." To make sure that quantities of weapons will be available for those blows, the automobile in dustry was ordered to cease pro duction entirely, effective Feb. 1, on all passenger cars and light trucks. The order was issued last night by Donald M. Nelson, the new chief of war production, who said that all foreseeable military de mands" for light trucks and passenger cars would be met from the reserve of 130,000 new cars which the government recently iroze enner in factories or dealers hands.

The action cleared the way for xne iuu per cent, conversion of the automotive industry to all out war production. With this ar ranged for, Nelson could coneen trate methods for expediting similar conversion for other major units in the Nation's industrial economy.

"I expected him to do a thing like that," Mrs. Hilda Alice Bulke ley said proudly today. "He's that kind of a man." The small blonde 29 year old wife of the Navy's newest hero was discussing the amazing feat of Lieutenant John Duncan Bulkeley, 30, who in a tiny motor torpedo boat braved a rain of enemy fire to sink a 5000 ton Japanese vessel in Binanga Bay in the Philippines. "Yes," agreed the Lieutenant's mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Bulkeley, "that's just like him." But while Bulkeley may be a terror in a torpedo boat, he's just like any other father around his Long Island City home.

New TT' Boat Sinks Jap Ship (Continued From Page 1) action undoubtedly heralded many similar attacks in the future. The nocturnal assault, anew the steadily wider operations of Admiral Thomas S. Hart's Far Eastern command, was reported by the Navy Department in a communique which said that Bulkeley "has been commended for executing his commission suc cessfully." Bulkeley had eight seamen, as yet unidentified, in his crew, but the matter of fact Navy statement hardly hints at the nerve racking peril of their mad dash It reports merely that "this small boat carried out its difficult task while under fire of machine guns and three inch shore batteries; The greatest protection the men had was the speed of their power ful craft, whose 4200 horsepower engine is capable of producing a maximum of about 70 knots, or 84 miles an hour. Besides speed, there was the element of surprise in the night surprise increased by the fact that Binanga Bay, tucked away inside Subic Bay on Luzon Island, is far from any known base of Allied operations in the Far East. The Japanese might reasonably have expected American submarines in that vicinity but they apparently were not on guard against a lightning attack by a lone small boat.

That more such raids were in store for the Japanese was seen in indications that many "P.T." boats have been assigned to the Far Eastern force. The Navy re ported that Bulkeley is commander of a torpedo boat division, making it clear that while he led the one boat Binanga attack, hej has many more of the craft under his command. Primate Plans To Quit Post (Continued Page 1) Gordon Lang, was T7 years old last October 31 and has been the Archbishop of Canterbury since July 27, 1928. He said he was relinquishing his lofty church office to make for 'someone younger in years and more vigorous in mind and spirit, who will be better able prepare now for post war plans. The top ranking ecclesiastic, the Archbishop of Canterbury is the first Peer of England next to the Royal Family.

The only other Archbishop of the Church of Eng land is the Archbishop of York. following the abdication of Ed ward VIII, in which Dr. Lang was a leading fighter to keep England from having a king married to a divorcee, the American born Wil lis Warfield, the venerable Arch bishop placed the crown on the head of King George VI, Edward's successor. His decision to resign his posl tion was made known to, the con vocation of the Province of Canterbury, one house of the church assembly of the Church of Eng lancT Thus the Archbishop was fol lowing the example of his im mediate predecessor, Randall Thomas Davidson, who in 1928 at the age of 80, became the first Archbishop of Canterbury to re sign since Augustine I held the office 13 y2 centuries ago. Early in his career his abilities as a parish priest impressed Queen Victoria, who appointed him an honorary chaplain.

Later he be came one of her favorite preachers. It was said that on one occasion the Queen asked him why he did not get married, to which he re plied: If I have a curate who doesn suit me, I can change him for another, but I couldn't do that with a wife." As a primate, Dr. Lang has taken a conspicuous part in state as well as church affairs. He of ficiated at the weddings of the Dukes of Gloucester and Kent. brothers of the King; at the Silver Jubilee Service of Xing George in bt.

Paul's Cathedral in 1935. and at the latter's funeral. After the abdication of Edward VIII, he made a broadcast which provoked much criticism. In that broadcast, on December 13, 1936, he said it was "strange and sad" that Edward "should have disappointed hopes so high and abandoned a trust so great." Man Hurt in Fall James McNichols; 36, Philadelphia, clerk for the Yellow Cab Company, was treated at Harrisburg Hospital for a possible fractured back suffered in a fall down stairs last night. McNichols, who walked to the hospital, was held in observation.

Utilities Pledge Aid in Drive to Curb Smoke Full Co operation Prom ised by Industrial Lead ers at Capitol Parley Representatives of local utilities pledged their full cooperation yes terday at a smoke abatement con ference on Capitol Hill to eliminate unnecessary discharge of smoke and cinders from stacks. Spokesmen for three railroads, which serve the city and which have been blamed in the past for much of the city's smoke problem, said that while it is a mechanical impossibility to end all smoke and cinder from being discharged fr locomotives' stacks, the systems were taking ery step possible to cut down the amount blown into the local atmosphere. Public Utility Commissioner Richard J. Beamish conducted conference and questioned the witnesses who appeared to testify on the proposed revisions to the city's anti smoke ordinance. W.

W. Petchell, general pas senger agent for the Pennsylvania Railroad, said his company was disciplining firemen guilty of im proper firing. Petchell said the bulk of the trouble was with freight engines and because of the increased rail traffic due to the war, the company was forced to employ firemen who were not always as careful in this respect as the company expected. When Commissioner Beamish said perhaps the best solution to, the smoke problem might be the removal of the local freight yards, Petchell was quick to point out that when his company was con templating such steps, civic organ izations were quick to act to keep them here. E.

P. Gangewer, superintendent of locomotive power for the Reading Company, said his company was using 10 per cent. Anthra cite on all locomotives and a mixture of even proportions of An thracite and low volatile bitumi nous coal in yard and local serv ice to keep smoke at a minimum, Gangewer said brick arches were being installed in all Read ing Company heavy Santa Fe type engines to eliminate live ash and much fly ash. S. M.

Roth, Cumberland, appeared for the Western Mary land Railroad whose engines pass throueh the city over the Reading Company tracks. Roth was the only witness who admitted there minhf ho limits macea on uie length of time for continuea smoke to pour from a locomotive stack. He inferred it would be less than 10 minutes but would fix no definite time. The original revision of the smoke ordinance set a two minute maximum in each 15 minutes operation. The railroad officials said meeting this maximum was impossible.

David K. Elias, regional vice president of the Pennsylvania Power and Light Company, said his firm was attempting to co oDerate in every way. Louis K. Brady, president oi tne Harrisburg Gas Company, said his firm uses less than 100 tons of river coal and 30 tons of soft coal yearly and could hardly be con sidered a factor in the problem. City Councilmen Warren Lyme and Robert Lightner, Mayor Howard A.

Milliken and Spencer G. Hall, assistant city solicitor, ap peared for the city. Other mem bers of the Smoke Abatement Committee present were: J. Hor ace MacFarland, Vance McCor mick, Mrs. Walter Spofford, presi dent of the Civic Club, and Mrs Charles W.

Graeff, of the Municipal Committee of the Civic Club. Representatives of private in dustry made up most of the small attendance. Soviets Seize Key Town (Continued From Page 1) as the strongest Soviet blow of the campaign.) The outcome of a battle pointing up the Russians' whole central front counter ofensive. climaxed by street fighting in the glare of burning buildings, was announced by thfe Soviet information bureau in four words last night: "Our units captured Mozhaisk." 'The Moscow radio said that Mozhaisk normally a town of 8500 population reported to have been made the base of German forces totalling as high as 100,000 men fell to the Soviet troops of Lieutenant General Leonid Gov "The Germans already have been driven back another six miles from Mozhaisk, which they occupied exactly three months ago," the general was quoted as reporting today. Tass supplied details of the final drive against this last of an arc of invasion bases which once men aced the capital from areas as close as 20 miles, reporting the Germans had suffered enormous losses in a vain attempt to obey orders from Adolf Hitler high command to hold their ground at all costs.

A Tass dispatch broadcast by the Moscow radio said Red army troops outflanked powerful de fense lines on the approaches to Mozhaisk, but encountered earth and timber forts from 50 to 100 yards apart, mines and barbed wire one and a half miles east of the town. "Soviet foot soldiers converging from various directions moved relentlessly toward the center of the town, driving out or killing numbers of automatic riflemen in their hideouts," it added.

The main effort still was being direct ed at wiping out and preventing Japanese infiltration along the west coast. (Japanese newspaper accounts said united nation naval forces were in action there, operating in the narrow Malacca Straits appar ently to prevent further Japanese landings.) (It was admitted that the ffapa nese were exceedingly active along a road running southeast of Muar, 90 miles from Singapore, toward Batu Pahat, 60 miles from Singapore, and which then cuts inland toward Kluang on the cen tral Johore railway.

Dispatches of correspondents with the Australians, who have been given the task of mopping up infiltrations in the Muar area said the Japanese flanking effort there was due to the check they received in a frontal clash with the Australians last week on the central front at Gemas. The Japanese are inactive on the central front, it was reported but it was admitted some of their patrols had been encountered along the road south of Gemas. Warfare at the front was de scribed as a 24 hour a day busi ness, with the Japanese constant ly attempting to slip through the lines, fell trees across roads, cut communications wires and snipe at Australian patrols and repair parties.

Reports from the battle zone in dicated the Japanese were apply mg heavy pressure on the entire front, but the danger that the invaders might be able to repeat their sea born flanking tactics caused most concern here. Twelve' Japanese planes were shot down this morning during a sharp air raid on Singapore. During the assault, which was lengthy, the Japanese unloaded large quantities of explosives over residential districts. Eye witnesses reported two raiders were destroyed by anti aircraft fire. Jap Bombers Raid Key Ports in East Melbourne, Australia, Jan.

21. Japanese bombers raided the key ports of Eastern New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago for hours today in strength which the Australian air command said sug gested that "major attacks in this area can be expected." Principal targets of the raiders were Kavieng, at the North Cap tip of New Ireland where the Bis. marck Archipelago juts closest to the Japanese mandated Caroline Islands; and the east coast New Guinea cities of Madang, Salam aua, Bulolo and Lae. Forty bombers escorted by 20 fighters attacked Kavieng in the first of the raids, early this morning, an Australian communique said. A short time later three raiders bombed Madang.

Prime Minister John Curtin said the mass attacks showed the peril to Australia was "nearer, clearer and deadlier than ever." "Anybody in Australia who fails to perceive the immediate menace to Australia which this attack constitutes, must be lost to all reality." W. C.

It is doubly so when it has to be en gineered through deep snows and in sub zero weather, particularly for troops which are unequipped for such weather and now have been deprived of their shelter of winter quarters and must shift for themselves in the death dealing winds of the steppes. The position is one which certainly holds potential disaster for the Nazis. It depends on whether the Russians are able to exploit their capture of Mozhaisk before the Germans are able to retire to fresh positions and re establish their line. There is no reason to suppose that the British aren't holding Burma strength.

They also have a large standing army of natives in India. However, if the Japs should succeed in getting hold of Burma it would present a serious menace to India proper. The gravity of this situation would be vastly increased if the Nipponese should also capture Singapore, for that would 'give them a sea route between Singa pore and Sumatra to reach their base in Burma. The British position isn't made any easier by the strong political agitation in both Burma and British India for absolute freedom because that works against unity. it is true that the powerful all India congress, representing countless millions of followers, re.

Nelson Sets Up New Board (Continued From Page 1) sentatives of the Army, Navy. lend lease administration and all other agencies concerned with production of raw materials. The reorganization, "effective as soon as the orders can be drawn," was described by the war production chief as an interim plan subject to possible fu ture revision. Any revolutionary change would Xmly bring delay," he com mented. As a first move in the conver sion program, Nelson appointed Ernest Kanzler, long time associ ate of Henry Ford and fdrmerly in charge of Ford production, to head up the automobile conver sion program with "all the au thority I've got to get that job done." The reorganization will strip Sidney Hillman of his title of Associate OPM director but will leave him as director of the WPB labor division one of the six ma jor board branches Nelson will establish.

The production chief said he "would like to see both Hillman and William S. Knudsen, former OPM director general, remain as members of the War Production Board, although the jobs which entitled them to positions on the board have been abolished. He indicated he would ask President Roosevelt to issue an executive order specifically assigning them to the WPB, which has powers merely to "assist and advise" Nelson.

Nelson said that the industry committee set up would be guided in every case by the branch chief with powers comparable to those given Kanzler. "There will be no debating so ciety about it at all," Nelson de clared in connection with Kanz ler's appointment, which he said was typical of the new industrial set up.

Edward Mehaffie, 647 Fefier street, told police the window of a bedroom on the first floor was raised and a pocketbook with $11.59 was taken from a dresser. Viola Banks, 248 Nectarine street, employed at a downtown cafe told police her purse with $22 was taken from the cafe kitchen. An attempt to enter the groc ery of Max Levi at 817 East street failed, police said.

War and Navy Department support "in prin ciple" was claimed by interested legislators today for proposed leg islation requiring enlisted men in the armed services to allot $15 of their monthly pay to dependent wives and children, with the gov ernment matching or bettering that with an additional allowance to families.

Such was the system adopted six months after the United States entered the World War in 1917. Representative Edmiston (D W. Va) introduced the new legislation after conferences with leaders of veterans' organizations. He said today that service officials favored its objective, but questioned its government allowances, in some instances much higher than those in the 1917 act. The measure would cover regulars as well as selectees.

Selective service officials have expressed hope that present lib eral rules governing dependents can be maintained. Nevertheless, they have ordered re examination of the 7,500,000 registrants excused because of claims that they are supporting one or more relatives with a view to ascertaining whether such dependencies still exist or whether convenient mar riages" were irlvolved. Sales Spotlight Farm Show (Continued From Page 1) in judging of the thousands of ex hibits.

The awards were for grand champion bull and grand champion female.

Seventy large pages of winners were released yesterday as pos sibly one 6f the largest single day crowds in the 26 year history of the show packed the 14 acre plant. State Police estimated the attendance at more than 100,000 with approximately. 17,000 auto mobiles parked in the vicinity of the exposition. The late afternoon estimate placed attendance at "considerably greater" than the opening day throng of 60,000 to 75,000 but actual figures were given out after visitors jammed the 7500 arena seats for a night program to see a new Stae record established in weight pulling by light draft horses of less than 3000 pounds. The seven year old muscular grey and roan team of Walter Eckles, Marianna, Washington county, pulled 3050 pounds to bet ter the mark of 2975 set at last year's show by a team owned by Eckles and another of John Horr of Claysville, Washington county Horr's team finished second last night, pulling 3000 pounds to bet ter the old record but failing on the 3050 try.

Eckles' team weighed 2990 to 2920. Bob, the grey on the win ning combination, shared in last year's record but Dick, a roan, had never been entered in a pull ing contest. The team of John Klinefelter of Lebanon, dropped out of the competition at the 2500 pound mark while that of George Porter of Eighty Four, Washington county, failed at 3000 The huge audience gathered for the horse pulling event also gave big hand to a parade of 4 cattle in which 48 counties were represented. Also displayed in the arena were prize horses of the show, baby beeves and dairy cattle. Especially gaining atten tion was a 4 team of trained Hereford cattle pulling a cart filled with sheep.

Topping judging activities for the day was the declaration of 23 year old tenant farmer Wilmer Leese of York county as Pennsyl anias wheat king and York county's clean sweep in the Brown Swiss cattle class.

Hope Fades For Solid Front To Dependents In Axis Break Argentina Seen Definitely Decided Against Joining American Pact By Associated Press Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 21. Pros pects that the Pan American con ference might approve unanimous ly an immediate rupture of rela tions with the Axis powers faded today following an assertion by Argentina's acting president, Ramon S. Castillo, that his government could not modify its attitude toward the proposal.

Castillo's assertion, made last night in Buenos Aires, was gener ally accepted here as meaning that Argentina had definitely decided against joining the other American nations at least for the present in forming a solid anti Axis front. Of the 20 other republics rep resented here, Chile is the only one whose stand on a proposed joint break with the Axis sched uled for debate tomorrow is in doubt. Castillo's statement surprised observers, for only yesterday there were reports that Argentina, long regarded as the chief obstacle to unanimous action by the conference, was being won to the ma jority view. Proponents of the anti Axis declaration indicated they were ready to go ahead regardless of Argentina attitude, and there were reports one sub committee member had proposed that Ar gentina or any other nation op posing the measure be ousted from the Pan American union.

He was a big factor with the old H. A. when "Billy" Tunis, the late W. Harry Baker, the late Mercer B. Tate, and many others were in charge of the game here.

He was frequently hired to announce other events. He resided in his early days on Chestnut street near Fourth, and when mar ried, after his mother's death, moved to West Harrisburg. He died at his home 1318 Williams street. His wife Lucy Zedricks survives with two sisters, Mrs. George Winters, this city and Miss Ber tha Zedricks, North Wales.
