They ar "concerned with the relations that , exist between the people of the United States and other nations now engaged in warfare against the Axis Towers.

(" There, is reference to the Generalis . simo's "dissatisfaction with the as sistance he has been getting from the Allies and the assurance of at least one writer that these reports come from "sources which in the past have proved extremely reliable." It , might be well to recall that the ' present warbetween China and Japan began in 1937. The Chinese leaders understood that, in fighting the mod . ernized armies of Japan they must ." commit themselves to a great sacri fice; of blood and treasure.

Mr. Patterson told the committee that Jeffers had attempted to push through first priorities for his own project that would have delayed the high-octane aviation gasoline pro gram four months and been responsi ble for the loss of production of 15,000 airplanes. He declared that the rubber director's charges were founded "not upon truth but upon an irritation" and asserted that he "wants all other programs pushed aside for his." Mr. l'atterson agreed that there were many differences between Mr. Jeffers and the armed services over the allotment of rubber for essential civilian uses and denied that the Army or Navy sought "for one momejut" to control the domestic economy, com plaining that Mr. Jeffers had read only a part of his letter. "The Army," he frankly declared, "should get more" and asked, "who else should get more?" Explaining a seven-point program, outlined in his letter, Mr. l'atterson said the Army discovered that inter city bus lines were getting a better grade of crude rubber for tires than the armed forces ajnd suggested that in view of the general situation, the Army and Navy felt qualified to make suggestions for rubber conservation. James V. Forrestal, Under Secre tary of the Navy, insisted "there is n't the slightest quarrel" between Mr. Jeffers and the Navy Depart ment and observed pointedly that the Army and Navy worked their diffi culties out and came to understand ings. He thought that priorities es tablished by James F. Byrnes,. Direc tor of Economic Stabilization, might be carried out with careful schedul ing to minimize the damage done to the Army and Navy program. While there is no way to avoid such many and it is inevitable that all Germans will pay the price of Hit ler's folly.

AT FIRST SIGN OF A 666 TAIL'TS. ;E DROPS In acheiving North Carolina's goal of 176,744,000 gallons of milk fori 1943, John A. Arey, Extension dairy' specialist of N. C. State College, ail-, vises that dairy herds and the family j milk cow be fed niure wheat. Large , stocks of wheat are now in govern-' ment storage and it may be purchas-; ed at a special feed wheat price. According to Mr. Arey, the Sec re-; tary of Agriculture has set aside 125,(IO(,00() bushels of wheat for! feeding and at the special prices , made, it is a more economical dairy ' feed than coin at $1.2.ri a bushel. I. j fact, feeding tests show that wheat j has a feeding value of $1.33 per bushel on this basis and the special I price made to tanners is aiiout two thirds of this figure. While wheat contains 52 per cent more digestible protein than corn, it is classified as a carbohydrate food and should be supplied with a pro- f a 1 11 -ripli fnfirl tl.V aa .r,ttrncofl 1 soybean or peanut meal. Mr. Arey suggests that a mixture of 2 parts of ground wheat, 1 part of corn and cob meal, and 1 part of cottonseed meal be fed, together with a good legume hay and with or without silage. j Another good mixture is 2 parts j of ground wheat, 1 part of ground oats or barley, 1 part of corn and cob meal, ami 1 part of cottonseed meal.

The credit for dependents is based upon actual financial dependency and not mere legal dependency. It is not necessary that the dependent be re lated to the taxpayer, but the tax payer must have provided more than one-half of the support, or there is no dependency. The term "mentally or physically defective" includes not only those who are mentally afflicted and physically crippled, but also persons who, by reason of old age or impaired health, j are incapable of self-support. The state of, mental or physical defect need not be' of a permanent nature, but if it existed for only a portion of the year, then the credit for depend ent can be claimed only for that por tion of the year during which the de pendent was supported by the tax payer: A person may not acquire a credit for dependent by reason of support of a person qualifying as a dependent if, as a result of such support, he acquires a head of family exemption, but, may acquire a credit for depend ents, whom he supports.
