...fact the presumptive cases include thousands of veterans who can trace their disabilities directly to service origin, and present unimpeachable proof thereof. But variations in post-War employment conditions, loss of records through death of physicians, inability to locate witnesses known 15 years ago, and other normal factors complicate the problem of proof for many men. The regulations adopted under the 1933 Economy Act very virtuously read that the benefit of a reasonable doubt, on such proof as was presented, should go to the veteran; but other clauses so restricted the application of this rule that its interpretation resulted...
...Choice-First choice before the conferees was in regard to personal income taxes. Both bills have a flat 4% normal tax without the jump to 8% that exists under the present law, but surtaxes are raised to compensate for this reduction. House surtaxes run from 4% to 59%; Senate surtaxes from 5% to 59%. But the House bill allows a new deduction of 10% of the normal tax on earned income up to $8,000 whereas the Senate bill allows the same deduction on earned income up to $20,000.

(Mr. Morgenthau displays a commendable restraint of phrase in these days of flaming crescendi...
...culture of the rats' blood. He added some phloxine, a dye closely related to mercurochrome. Nothing happened. Then he exposed the vessels to strong sunlight for five minutes. Activated by the light, the dye attacked the cancer cells, withered them in 30 to 180 minutes. But certain normal cells imbedded in the cancer tissue lived. Researcher Menke's heart leaped with hope, despite the gulf between destroying disease in a test tube and destroying it in a human body. Last week, reporting his discovery to the American Association of Anatomists in Philadelphia, he was careful to emphasize that...
