Selective Service Director Her-
ley, lightening 11-A deferments,
directed SS local boards to put aside
considerations of “mere convenienci
and comfort" in determining the
deferment of persons necessary ti
the “national health, safety or in-
terest.” The local boards began dis
tribution of four-page occupational
questionnaires to obtain for the U. S.

cies full information on the voca

tered February 16. laiter the ques-
tionnaires will be sent to earlier S)
registrants.
The President set April 27 as the
SS registration day for all men 44 to
64, inclusive. Director Hershey said
as the war progresses, draft defer-
ments will depend more on whether
a man’s civil operation is essential to
the war effort than on his depend-
ents.

SINGING wiTH CHORUS
Austin, Texas, March 24. — A
round-up set to music—that’s the
nlan for the thirteenth annual Round
Up at the University of Texas this
week-end, as the annual home-com-
ing celebration is high-lighted by one
of the most pretentious musical pro-
gram* ever attempted on the campus.
Directed by Dr. Archie N. Jones,
orofe.soi of music education, a
massed chorus of more than 150
voices, accompanied by the Univer-
sity Symphony Orchestra, will sing
the "Rio Grande,” marking this
suite’s first presentation by a college
group. The “Rio Grande," a suite for
ehorus, orchestra, and piano solo,
has been played hy a half-dozen
symphonies over the country, hut
never before by college organiza-
tions. ...
Taking part in the program will
be the University Chorus, Choir.
Men’s and Women’s Glee C lubs. and
the orchestra. The piano solo will be
played by Paul Moor, fine arts stu-
dent from El Paso.
The choruses and orchestra are to
present a 45-minute concert, includ-
ing the “Rio Grande,” Friday night
at the Round Up Revue and Ball,
where the University Sweetheart,
whose identity is still a secret, will
be presented with her “court" of 374
Bluebonnet Belle nominees.
Sunday afternoon, in place of the
customary concert presented by fine
arts faculty members, the student
choruses and orchestra will appear
again in a "home coming” concert.
They will repeat the “Rio Grande,”
as well ns give a varied concert of
choral and orchestra arrangements.
Singing with the chorus during the
two concerts w ill be Betty Merriman,
fine arts major from Hondo.

In a recent column, Hugh Johnson
commented on the law of diminish-
ing returns. The basic tenet of that
law, he said, “is that rates of taxa-
tion can be so high as to discourage
our business and other incentives to
create wealth.
“Tax rates above this limit—no
matter how high they go—will result
in lower rather than greater revenue
to the taxing source, and the decline
in revenue will go relatively faster
and farther than the increase in
rates of taxation.”
With taxation paramount, in the
headlines, next to war, and with
Congress debating the new Trensury
revenue bill, it should be thoroughly
understood by everyone that we
have reached the point of killing the
goose that lays the golden egg. The
government can tax the golden egg
out of existence. But it cqn’t create
a new goose. The government can
tax productive industry to the point
where all incentive to progress is
destroyed. And the government and
the people will find that the very
foundation of individual freedom
and opportunity has also been
destroyed.
Progress comes out of risk. Men
take chances. They play long shots,
in the hope of making a profit.
Every great industry we know was
a “long shot” gamble once. Motors—
electric power—oil — mining — go
down the list, and you’ll find that
all these vast enterprises were little
experimental enterprises once. “Risk
capital” mode them possible—and
so made possible this kind of a coun-
try.
Taxation can be so applied that
the ability to progress will disappear.
If the so-called “excess profits” tax
is so increased that business is de-
prived of the money needed for ex-
pansion, experiment and develop-
ment, production will seriously suf-
fer. These are facts which Congress
must keep in mind. Today's tax
problem amounts to raising the
needed revenue without destroying
the economic and social system we
are battling to preserve.—Industrial

If this country is uttacked, a start

bombing plane can carry 2,000 or
more of them. And each of the
bombs is capable of starting a major
