j. s. SALES TAX
SEEN LIKELY IN
NEW CONGRESS

With Republican and Demo
cratic congressional leaders con-
vinced there must be a re-eXam'
ination of the Federal tax law at
the next session of Congress. the
outlook for adoption of a general
manufacturers sales tax was be-
lieved to have frightened.
Failure of revenue receipts OF
the Treasury Department to make
the gains anticipated from the
makeshift revenue measure passed
a. the last session of Congress,
has spurred congressional minds
to further consideration Of the
sales levy.
Senators Approve
Already Senators Smoot (R0 q,
of Utah. and King Cd, of Utah.
members of the Senate Finance
Committee. have indicated there
must be a review of the new rev.
enue law.
Under leadership of Henry L.
Hartman. its president, the
United States Chamber of Com
merce, plans a drive for subStitu.
tion of a genera manufacturers
sales tax fer the high rates On a
few industries.
Adoption of a general sales tax
in Mississippi, followed by a selec-
tive levy in Pennsylvania. has
given supporters of a national
manufacturers sales tax encour-
agement. Much of the opposition
to a sales tax in the House was
registered by Representatives from
Mississippi.
One States Benefit
With their own States profiting
by such levy the argument of
these opponents was believed to
have been met.
President Hoover has opened
the way for examination of the
revenue act through a recommen-
dation in his speech accepting re.
nomination that if it develops in
Creases in rates are sapping the
vitality of industries, the levies
should be revised.

Few golfers understand the
pivot. 1t is not an action Of any
special part Of the body. Rather,
it is united action of all.
Bending the left knee is not
pivoting. Neither is the swinging
Of the shoulders by twisting
movement Of the waist. The cor
rect pivot is. simply. the turning
of the body during the golf swing,
with ankles, knees, hips and shout
ders responding to the swing Of
the arms.
Pivoting comes easiest when you

New Haven, April 22.-Plans are
being formulated by the various
offices and councils in New Haven
to have an inter-departmental
baseball league. The telephone So
ciety has agreed to back the pro-
posed organization and Roy Steen-
off has already called two meetings
relative to opening the schedule.
1t is at present intended that the
league will operate only during
the months of May and June. Later
developments may show that the
schedule can be made longer and
extended into the summer.
Among the groups planning to
have teams are: Accounting, En-
gineering, Traffic headquarters, the
Transmission office, Plant En-
gineering, Commercial, Installation,
Gable, Central Office wire chiefs
office and General headquarters.
Last year an informal series of
inter-departmental games was
played between Traffic headquar-
ters, Engineering, Wire chiefs Of
flee and General headquarters. The
games were played on the differ
ent Yale athletics fields at $50 in
the afternoon. The success of these
contests showed that the scope of
such plan could be extended.
Each year the Waterbury Plant
Council has had an employees base
ball league made up of one team
from each of the plant sections. So
far four groups have signified their
intentions of entering teams. They
are. line, cable. installation and the
inside wires chiefs office.

race drivers who Will compete in
the annual 500-mile Decoration
day classics on the local speedway.
Snowberger is here tuning up his
Hupp Comet for the May 80 grind.
81 am not alone in making this
suggestion, declared Snowberger.
Several other drivers dave dis
cussed this same idea with me.
Each year the annual speedway
race here draws thousands of speed
fans to Indianapolis. This city
should be proud of the develop
ment of the racing gabe, because
the Indianapolis race is the out
standing event of it's kind on the
North American continent. But
there are many valid reasons why
it should not be the only one OF
its kind.
American automobile manufac-
turers originally made the racing
game. They were the ones who
conceived the possibility of Great
ing a national sport of this kind.
And. likewise. more or less stand
ard motor cars originally raced in
competition with each other on the
country's tracks.
Shortly before the World war.
specially built racing cars were
specifically created for the one or
two major racing events of the
year. Since that time these special
cars have annually captured the
500 mile Indianapolis race"
Snowberger points out that,
while several leading manufac-
turers are participating in this
years speedway classic for the
first time in several years, there
are insufficient rewards in the
shape of engineering knowledge to
be gained from a single 500 mile
race to warrant all expense in con-
nection with such an event.
"If there were four or five hong
distance races each year., he de-
clares, manufacturers would I'M
doubtedly increase their entries.
They would not only gain consider
able publicity from such events.
but would at the same time in
crease the amount of valuable data
that can be obtained from auto
mobile racing. This information
would more than pay for the cost
of preparing their cars"
In Snowberger's opinion the con-
struction of two or three addition
al Big Time speedways would not
only increase public interest in rae
ing, but would also provide sitter
competition among the lrivers. In
addition, he recommends that such
new tracks be constructed to de-
velop much higher racing speeds
than can now be obtained, and he
offers some very definite sugges-
tions along these lines. Properly
banked turns, for example, would
permit of a much higher average
speed, he believes.
Snowberger is the leader of this
growing clan of semi-stock car
drivers. Most of these pilots utilize
a production engine that is adapt
ed to racing needs.
