...recovered, the Revenue Bureau makes it relatively easy for a would-be tattler. He merely gets in touch with Internal Revenue field agents or directly with the Commissioner of Internal Revenue in Washington, reports that someone has skimped in his tax report. If the evidence seems reasonable, field agents inspect questionable records, interview the suspected offender, notify the proper tax division (income, estate, gift, etc.). When a suspect is found guilty and forced to pay up, the informer fills out a neatly printed claim blank and passes it on for certification by a tax collector, the U. S. District Attorney...

George VI had been up once before as King (90 miles from Windsor to Martlesham Heath) when last week he stepped into his scarlet and blue twin-engined Airspeed Envoy. From Sandringham he flew 60 miles to Cranwell, Lincolnshire, to inspect, as Marshal of the Royal Air Force, one of the nation's military aviation colleges. Ponderously, an official announcement said the King would "enplane"* for the trip back to Sandringham. Said British dispatches afterward: "The nation breathed easier tonight when it learned over the wireless that King George had completed safely in blustery conditions his return flight...
