The Curse of a Bleating Heart
A humorous local piece about Billy the Goat, once Ruby Bynum’s ally, now fixated on two paperboys Parker Fairey and Herschel Allen. Each morning at 5:20, the goat greets the delivery duo outside Sixth and Georgia and harbors blue feelings reflected in noisy protests as the boys collect their papers.

Tax Relief for Business Asked
A joint Senate House postwar tax committee and the Treasury Department urged immediate sweeping revisions of business taxes to aid reconversion from war to peace. Recommendations include increasing the excess profits tax exemption to 25,000 from 10,000, allowing the postwar credit of 10 percent to be applied to 1944 and later liabilities, and accelerating amortization deductions for emergency facilities. No change in individual or corporate income taxes is urged. Morgenthau cited administration opposition to cuts until Japan is defeated.

British Chase Japs in Burma
British columns driving down the Irrawaddy river from Prome in Burma advance at a 20 mile daily pace. They reach a point 75 miles north of Rangoon where a cut-off Japanese force is attempting a stand. Headquarters report progress as the Burma house cleaning continues with a link-up between the 15th Corps from Arakan and Lushai scouts near the Irrawaddy. Japanese troops are fleeing east of Thazi and Toungoo on the Rangoon Mandalay railway.
