The drive, started Apr. 20, was begun with a Victory week celebration that included a dig and a rally. The “Tommy Trojan Vic tory hut” made of red, white, and blue bunting was occupied three days every week by campus organ izations which vied for the honor of selling the largest number of bonds and stamps.
Sorority women sold the stamps throughout the day starting at 9 a. m. and continuing on until 5 p. m. Two girls occupied the booth for each class hour on the day their sorority was designated.
Girls who helped bring the first prize—a lamp, donated by a local iirm—to the Phi Mu house were: Sicily Ann Maloy, Dixie Wilkinson, Ann Campbell, Helen Gardner. Frances Ensien, Jean Smith, and Lois Donnelly.
Axis Spurns Mexico Protest
MEXICO CITY, May 21—(U.E)— The foreign office announced tonight that its bitter note of protest over the sinking of a Mexican ship had been spurned by Germany, Italy, and Japan, and simultaneously indications grew unmistakable that Mexico’s answer would be a formal declaration of war against the axis.
A high government source said the president would issue a proclamation to the nation tomorrow, probably asking the people to prepare for a state of war.
The foreign office said President
Manuel Avila Camacho “will decide what is to be done” to avenge the honor of the Mexican nation.
Reliable reports said the presi-went would call a special session of congress shortly to consider a declaration of war.
A foreign spokesman meanwhile announced that the government was investigating reports — still completely unconfirmed — of the sinking of a second Mexican vessel.
Shortly before the foreign office
made its announcement, Gen. La-zaro Cardenas, ex-president and now commander of all Mexican Pacific defenses from the California border to Guatemala, arrived in the capital and immediately sped to the presidential residence for a conference.
McKay Selects Office Workers
Virginia Miller and Virginia Lee Welch have been selected by ASSC President Bob McKay to serve as ASSC office secretaaries next year.
Because of increasing responsibilities, each secretary will have her own desk, and the work will be equally shared. Miss Miller will be responsible for office correspondence, while Miss Welch will handle outside calls and appointments.
Selection of the new secretaries was made with the help of Eleanor Britton, retiring ASSC office secretary.
NewTaxes to Take Plenty
Morgenthau Seeks 10 Per Cent Levy on $11, $26 Scales
WASHINGTON, May 21 — (U.P.)—The treasury today formally askea congress to enact a withholding tax under which 10 per cent of a persons income would be deducted each payday and applied to the sharply increased tax bill he will pay on his
1942	earnings.
The levy would take effect as soon as the pending $8,700,000,000 bill becomes law, thus enabling the treasury to benefit immediately by collection on 1942 returns.
$11 WORKERS SUFFER
Under the plan, 10 per cent of a single person’s income in excess of $11 a week would be withheld —just as social security levies are now withheld—and turned over to the government. For married men, the tax would become effective on all income over $25 a week. A further exemption of $8.50 a week would be granted for each child or additional dependent.
PAY TWO LEVIES
It would mean that many income tax payers would pay two levies this year—the one applying to 1941 income, collectable this year, and the one applying to 1942 income, normally not collectable until 1943.
The proposal, marking a new departure in the American tax system, was recommended to the House ways and- means committee by Treasury Tax Expert Randolph Paul. The committee has been debating a withholding tax and seems disposed to approve it. SECRETARY ASKS
Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr., asked the committee in March for discretionary powers to collect at-the-source taxes but Paul said at a press conference today that the growing danger of inflation now makes it necessary to go further.
Paul said the levy would prove “more painless” than any other collection system next March when the taxpayer begins figuring his
1942	income taxes which the committee has voted to ’double and,
in some cases, treble. Instead of having to pay the tax in full, the wage earner would be given credit
for the amount deducted under the
withholding plan.
Seniors Bow Out by Editing Year’s Last Daily Trojan
Seniors in journalism “played newspaper” for the last time at SC last night when they produced this, the annual senior edi- , tion of the Daily Trojan.
The editor left his lofty editorial office to take the desk for the day and send his reportorial staff out to “check” things on the campus for the last time.
Mrs. Ignota Miller Hansen presents her last women’s page, Bion Abbott leaves his realm of violent physical action on the sports front, and Virginia Ellis offers a feature page to the students of the university for the final time.
One by one the working members of the senior class drifted . in from their “downtown” jobs to lend their assistance. And so the handwriting on the wail says “30.”
Three Jap Ships Sunk by Allies
MELBOURNE, Friday, May 22— (U.R)—Allied naval forces—presumably submarines—have sunk a Japanese cruiser mounting eight-inch guns and two big supply ships in the southwest Pacific, Gen. Douglas MacArthur announced today.
The daily operational communique gave no hint as to when or where the three ships were sent
to the bottom, but said the sinkings occurred in “underwater action.”
The ships were identified as:
A cruiser of the 7100-ton Kako class, mounting six eight-inch guns, four 4.7-inch antiaircraft guns, 10 machine-guns and 12 21-inch torpedo tubes.
A 9000-ton cargo ship.
A 6000-ton cargo ship.
Besides the Kako, the class of that name comprises the cruisers Hurutaka, Kinugasa, and Aoba. Each has a normal complement of 604 and carries two catapult aircraft.
The sinkings were the first naval action announced since the battle of the Coral sea, in which at least

Russians Pierce Kharkov
Timoshenko's Forces Storm Vital City From North, South
MOSCOW, Friday, May 22— (U.P.) — Unbroken gains by red army forces storming through the inner ring of German defenses within gunshot of Kharkov were announced today ir a communique which said that an enemy counter offensive 75 miles to the southeast had been repulsed.
The main German fortifications at the approaches to Kharkov were reported unofficially to have fallen apart under relentless pounding of Marshal Semyon Timoshenko’s tanks, infantry, and planes, laying open the outer gates of the strategic industrial city.
OUTSKIRTS CONTROLLED
Unofficial dispatches said the soviet vanguard had the outskirts of Kharkov under artillery bombardment while mopup battalions encircled and cleaned out German pockets in the shattered primary defense line.
The battle for Kharkov was said to have carried the Russian shock troops into the suburban fields and unfortified villages of the inner defenses, through which they chased
decimated German units now fighting a rear guard action.
“Our troops fighting toward Khaitcov continued offensive battles,” the late communique of the red army command said. “In the area of Izyum and Barvenkova, enemy attacks have been repulsed.” THREAT REDUCED
Thus the red army appeared to have contained or reduced the threat of a German flanking movement against Timoshenko’s left wing in the Donets valley ,to the southwest.
A soviet unit fighting on the offense. arc embracing Kharkov occupied several inhabited localities yesterday and captured rich stores of war material abandoned by the Germans, the communique said.
