U. 5. Can Police Areas As Venereal Hazards, McNutt Tells Parley Law Provides Action Near Military Centers, Hygiene Rally Told Policing of areas designated by the Becretaries of War or Navy as vene- real disease hazards can, and if necessary, will be, taken over by the Justice Department, Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt yes- terday told the sixth annual Social Hyglene Day Conference luncheon at Barker Hall. Under terms of the May Act, pros- titution is illegal “within a reason- able distance” of military establish- ments and legal authority for its enforcement by the Justice Depart- ment is provided in the act, Mr. Mc- Nutt said. The administrator pointed out that, in a mechanized age, a “rea- sonable distance” might be 100, 200 or 500 miles, adding: “It is assumed that the phrase “within a reasonable distance’ would cover any community which military records clearly showed was a vene- real disease hazard to troops. ‘A reasonable distance’ is to be meas- ured by the fact of infection. Police Chiefs Co-operating. “This is a serious and very funda- mental statement of policy. Short of martial law, there is hardly an- other field of local police power which can be forfeited to the Fed- eral Government.” | The taking over of local police | duties by Federal authorities is not, | however, Mr. McNutt said, citing prohibition as an example, a policy which is likely to lead to long-run community action. In order to preclude as much as possible the necessity for Federal ac- tion, a division of social protection has been set up in the Office of De- | fense Health and Welfare, through which the Association of Chiefs of Police is co-operating in the Gov- ernment’s battle against the war- time threat of venereal disease.

C, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1942. ‘Bundles for Congress’ Drive Spreads; Dill Wants Pension By the Associated Press. SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 4—A fervent plea to take care of the alumni came today from former United States Senator C. C. Dill, who left Congress too soon to get his pension. “Just think of the injustice,” he told members of the Athletic Round Table last night. “After giving 18 of the best years of my life in Congress, all I have left is enough &lb\an a little shack up on the ‘The little shack is a 460,000 man- sion in Spokane’s exclusive South Hill district. He urged that the pension meas- ure be made retroactive to cover former members of Congress. Prayed for United States. “Every day the chaplain used to look us over at the start of the session and pray for the United States,” Mr. Dill sigh “Now I know why.” ‘The “bundles for Congress” cam- paign launched by the Athletic Round Table is getting “bigger and better by the minute,” President Joe Albi reported. Latest celebrity to contribute to the campaign, aimed at ridiculing out of existence the pensions voted by members of Congress for them- selves, is Sally Rand, Mr. Albi said. The bubble dancer, he reported, & | mailed in a scanty plece of lingerie with the note: “It's my last stitch.

Howard Stewart and Bud Schall, farmers near Ogden, Iows, said they have called a meeting for Saturday night to form an Ogden “Bundles for Congress” Club. They requested donations of dis- carded objecte to be sent members of Congress. Mr. Stewart and Mr. Schall said they are asking the Spokane “bun- dles” auto caravan to stop at Ogden on its way to Washington.

THIS NEW PLAN SHOWS YOU HOW TO END WORRY ABOUT HOW TO PAY YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAXES BY MARCH 16 If you are like most income taxpayers, two things are true: (1) By March 16th you will have found that your Federal Income Taxes are two or three times larger than last year. (2) The new Revenue Act was passed so late last year that'it has been difficult to accumu- late the neccessary cash even for the first quarterly payment. To help you meet this problem, the Morris Plan Bank has developed an economical, conven- ient program for the payment of these taxes on a monthly basis—available to individuals, partnerships, firms, and corporations. "HOW THE PLAN WORKS Let’s assume that the taxes on your 1941 in- come will amount to $600: 1. Before March 14th you come in and sign a note for $618. The added $18 is a charge of $3 per $100. For other amounts note table below: Amount of Tax $100 to $199 200to 299 300 and over Charge per $100 $5.00 4.00 3.00 2. There are no other fees or costs of any kind. Life insurance is included without extra cost, so that in the event of your death, any balance owing will be automatically canceled. 3. No endorsers or other security will be re- quired. All you need is a good credit standing in the community. It makes no difference whether you have ever been a customer of this bank or not. 4. The money will be credited to a special account in your name, withdrawable for the purpose of paying these taxes as they are due March, June, September, and December 15th, 5. Beginning April 1st, you deposit in the Bank each month 1/12 of the total amount. (See Monthly Payment Table below.) And that’s all. At the end of twelve months, you will have paid your entire tax bill and you will owe the bank nothing. Don’t put this off until the last minute— if you have not already received your Income Tax blanks, get them now and figure out exactly how much you must pay.
