On boatload of the 600 candidates for midshipmen appointments in the U.S. naval reserve draws near
the ship, U.S.S. Wyoming, which sailed from N'ew York for a month's training cruise in southern waters. The
men are between 19 and 27 and are part of Uncle -Sam's growing family of naval recruits bolstering the na-
tional defense.
Rhythm rides the range again in Texas now that singing W. Lee
"Pass the Biscuits Pappy" O'Daniel is seeling re-election as governor.
Here's Pappy (left) and his bandsters in a campaign truck at a Green-
ville, Tex., rally.

COMPARED WITH AN, AMERICAN
With newcoiffures calling for pompadours that roll up from wom-

Sweeping income tax boosts announced for Britishers put a steep
load on even married men, running to many times the American income
taxes. This chart shows the tax a married Britisher with two children
must pay compared with an American. In England, a married man with
two children, earning $1,600 a year, pays $63.35, while married Amer-
icans get an exemption of $2,000. Figures shown here do not include
allowed exemptions and other taxes paid.
