WASHINGTON, Dec. I—The
battle over social security tn^s
and plans for postwar flood con-
trol are Capitol Hill's main con-
cerns today.
A wait and see strategy was
proclaimed by Senator Vandenberg
(R-Mtchi, senate champion or I
freezing such taxes, on the idea
of linking the freeze bill with t
the war powers act to avert a
presidential veto.
Republican Knutson (R-Minn),!
of the house and means commit- {
tee predicted the senate will pin
the two measures together.
The ways and means committee ■
approved 17 to 7 yesterday the
measure keeping the payroll tax
at one per cent each on employ- ■
era and employes. Unless con. j
press acts the tax will double]
Jan. 1.
Several senators, including
rairman George (D-Gn.) of the ;
nate finance committee, said '
ey would have no part in ty-
_ the bill to the war powers
wision.
Pie senate is due to pass post- '
Er flood control legislation to- j
Bay. The $1,000,000,000 authoriza-
tion got the green light when ■
Benator Murray fD-Mont) with- ,
drew his opposition. Murray has
sought to tic a provision for a
Missouri valley authority to the
bill.

Notes of a Thankful Amorlcan
The one-for-Allies and Allies-
j for-une spirit is worth any-
body’s turkey dinner. During the
post three years unity among civil-
ized nations hus been stronger
during the past three centuries.
If they continue to sit nrimnd the
same table, peace for at least the
next hundred years seems assured.
America worked up a sweat
during the recent political slug-
fest. However, the internal free-
for-all hasn't slowed Uncle Sam-
son's nimble foot work, and his

The status of the mass sedition
trial is in doubt. Death of Chief
Justice Edward C. Etcher of the
U. S. district court,, presiding judge
at the trial since it started April
17, brought conflicting opinions.
Some sources said the trial may
be called off. Others suggested it
may continue with -a reduced cast.
Everything isn't blue skies and
stars on the home front, but we’re
heading towards the rainbow.
Never in our history have so many
subversives been convicted, jailed
or withered by the spotlight. Much
remains to be done, yet much has
been accomplished. If you're skep-
tical about the accomplishments,
just recall the dark days when an
army of arrogant Bundists openly
paraded in storm-trooper uniforms
and black-jacked patriotic Amer-
icans who rose to rebuke them at
their meetings.

NEW YORK—m — Crews of
four Army Ducks lost their way
5n the Medeterranean and captur-
ed 100 Italians in the Sicilian in-
vasion, says “Ships’’ magazine.
The ducks headed for a heavily
armed beach where pillboxes along
the shore fired at them. They j
dodged through the water, escap- ]
jng damage, and when they zoom-j
ed ut>on the shore it was too much I
for the enemy. Hands in air, the
defenders ran out of their emplace-
ments, begging to give up to the j
crews of the queer ships that didn't
stop when they got to land.
