BILL HARRELSON GETS 18 COPIES OF STAR AT ONCE Philippines, May 31. Ye Ed-It has 'been such a long time that I am almost ashamed to write. However, since I received 18 copies of The Star today I am obliged to send you my sincere gratitude 'for keeping 'em coming. I see in the column, "Our Boys With the Color"," where'somei of the fellas are on the Island of Leyte. It wocid be quite a big event to bump into some. of them while I am here. There have been so many changes around' St. Joe that reading 'the names of the peo- ple that .appear in The Star doesn't mean an awful lot to me. How- ever, it is worth plenty to me just to sort of keep in contact with the fellas who are my fellow soldiers and also you people who are fight- ing a good, battle on the home front.

In baseball, the umpire sees to it that the game is played according to the rules. But he is not a player. In business, government should be the umpire who enforces fair rules. ; But when government goes into business and com- petes with its own citizens, the American tradition ol fair play is set aside. The umpire then becomes a player, and he enjoys advantages that are denied to all the other players. For example, government and municipal power- plants are not required to pay federal taxes; often get money from the U. S. Treasurer at little or no interest; make up losses out of the pockets of the taxpayers. Maybe you run a store or service station or beauty shop. Would you like to have a next-door competitor who has little or no rent, or taxes, or interest to pay, and who is kept in btiuiness partly by your tax moneyF SRON HAUTEY CUBAN RUM 89 PROOF Was $4.66 $325 'NOW 3 HAVANA CLUB Puerto Rican Rum $3 25 86 Proof Was $4.21.
