WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES During 1943 the Federal Government spent about 88 billion dollars, in the most part, to defray the costs of the war. That was 32 billion more than was spent in 1942 and five times the amount spent in the year 1918-19. The money went to war, but it didn't disappear, because unlike consumer goods bought with money, money which is spent doesn't disappear. Part of the huge sums are recaptured through taxation. In 1943, Federal tax receipts hit the high of 34.5 billion dollars, But this leaves more than 50 billion still in circulation, added to the uncovered outlays of the year before. Some of the money has returned to the Govern- ment in exchange for United States securities bought by individuals and corporations. Some is held in bank deposits and some is kept in the form of currency. According to last month’s Federal Reserve Bul- letin, two years of deficit war financing has increased the Federal debt to about 105 billion dollars—the gap between expenditures and receipts About 56 billion of the debt increase, the Bulletin says, has been acquired by private investors and Government agencie: Washinglon Mery- Go-Round (Continuea 1iom Page One) Congo.

This policy has made possible the pro- duction of a new first team of combat planes in the very midst of the battle. It is a complete answer to the policy of frozen designs and overstandardization which both the Germans and the Japanese have adopted The latest example of this fluid design of air power the Curtiss Helldiver. The Navy reveals that this two-place, low-mid-wing dive-bomber came out of its baptism of fire in the Armistice Day raid on Rabaul with flying colors. The new units of the combat team in that engagement ran up this im- pressive score: one light cruiser and two destroyers sunk, two heavy cruisers, one light cruiser and eight destroyers damaged. Th suffered no loss from | enemy action, although two, whose personnel were saved, ran out of gasoline and sank near their carrier With the Corsair and the Hellcat fighters and the Grumman Avenger torpedo bomber, the Helldiver now makes up a powerful team in the Pacific. In the words of Rear Admiral Ramsey, Chief of the | Bureau of Aeronautics, the new plane has demon- | is HAPPY BIRTHDAY e e TP, JANUARY 27 Anna Lee Houk Mrs. Robert Stoft Don Wilcox Mrs. Emily Snell Jean Campbell K.
