Drive To Sell New License Tags
Topeka, Kan., (INS)—The Shawnee county treasurer's office in Topeka was swamped today with applications for 1943 auto license tags.
The surge was the result of a local drive against motorists who have not purchased 1943 tags and is probably a forerunner of a state-wide campaign, officers said.

Zack Presents Piano Recital
Melvin Zack, pupil of Dean D. M. Swarthout, gave his senior piano recital last night, one month earlier than originally scheduled.
With his teacher, Dean Swarthout on a second piano, Zack reached the climax of his recital with his one long number, "Concerto in C sharp minor—Op. 30" (Rimsky-Korakow).
Other numbers were three preludes by Debussy, "Les sons et les parfum tournet dans l'air du soir", "La serenade interrompue," and "Ce qu'a u le vent d'Ouest."
Zack's first number "Organ Fantasia and Fugue in G minor" (Bach-Liszt) was a heavy, typically Bach number and was a direct contrast to the light variation of a Norwegian melody "Ballade, Op. 24" (Greig) which followed.
Zack, who leaves soon, for the army, has been an advanced student in piano at the University during the past two years. Vice-president of Phi Mu Alpha, national musical fraternity, he is also a member of the University band. Before coming here to school, Mr. Zack studied two years at the Julliard School of Music in New York City.

STARS IN SERVICE
Strong fleet units are gathered at Trondheim, Norway, where gunnery maneuvers have been under way for some time, he said. This report, accompanied by the fact that the season is approaching when fog blankets the north Atlantic, leads to the surmise that some naval action by the Nazi fleet may be expected soon.
Allies Suspect German Fleet
London, (INS)—Belief that a powerful German fleet is preparing to put to sea in a desperate effort to cut Allied supply lines in the Atlantic was voiced yesterday by the naval correspondent of the Daily Express.

Andre Maurois To Speak Here
NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION 1943 Active Member
Andre Maurois, French author and historian, will speak on the subject of "Our Common Heritage," at 8:20 p.m. Thursday, March 11, in Hoch auditorium, as the next feature of the Community Lecture course.
He has had the unusual distinction of serving both the English and French armies during the present war. As a member of General Staff, he was able to see the direction of the forces, and will be able to tell what actually happened during the battle of France.
His position on the General Staff was that of a press liaison officer attached to British headquarters, and his familiarity with the leading numbers of Paris and London society, both increase his value as a news commentator.
Famous for his books long before the war, Mr. Maurois has recently finished "Tragedy in France." Other books he is noted for are "The Silences of Colonel Bramble," written concerning England after the first World War; and "Ariel, or the Life of Shelley." his most popular work.
He has lectured at Princeton University, and at Mills College, and he presented the Lowell lectures in Boston in the winter of 1940.
Raids Are Only The Beginning
London, (INS)—Capt. Harold Balfour, Parliamentary Undersecretary of War, commenting on the heavy bombing of Berlin said, "Taking the long view of the war these raids are but the opening bars which will rise to the crescendo of a march on Europe."
Butch is on a BALANCED DIET!
This situation isn't covered by Army regulations. But we're betting that Butch will find a way to handle it!
In fact, we electric companies know just how he feels. We have the same problem. Right now, we're being called on to balance good service and low, regulated rates against fast-climbing costs and tremendously increased demands for electric power.
We're doing it, too. Filling all our war orders. Giving America far more power than all the Axis countries combined. Pushing production up and up. . . And besides that, we're balancing a big plate of taxes.
Don't get us wrong. We know the need of wartime taxes. We're proud that business-managed electric companies paid $620, 000,000 in taxes last year. That was 23c out of every dollar you paid us — 8c to local and state governments — 15c to the federal government — enough to outfit 1,687,762 buck privates.
How is it possible to make so much power and meet so many taxes at the same time? Because of sound business methods and long experience — because men, women and management worked together as a team.
But while we're doing all this, government and municipal power systems are not paying
a penny in federal taxes to help win the war... Shouldn't every one do his full share?
