Raleigh, April 27-Plans for the

ARE rapidly being perfected, it was
learned today from Director r. Bruce

vertising and the publication of book

lieved that the expenditure of this
money in advertising the State will
be the means of bringing thousands

STATE, CITIES ARE
UNLOADING ON u. S.
Local Governments Don't
Care What Governments
Taxes Are
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COlumnist

Washington, April 27.-Governors
don't care how high Federal taxes are.
Neither do State legislators.
All that these regional folk are an
swerable to their voters for is the
taxation rate within the borders Of
their various commonwealth. If they
can make Uncle Sam carry the bulk
of the load, they can say that the re-
sponsibility isn't theirs; it's the Wash
;ngton administration and Congress-
Mayors are the same way. Their
essential interest is to keep their re-
spectMe municipalities local levies
down.
POLITICAL ANGLE
To the taxpayer it does not, in
realty, make a bit of difference
whether he foots the national relief
bill, for example, through his own CITY
hall. his 20 my seat, nis state cap al
or the United States trcas-ry.
What does it matter whether the
bill is paid locally or Jumped to-
gether?
The total is so-and-so much either
way.
1t matters to politicians, however.
Assume that a governor or mayor
is trying to make an economical ad-
nlnistrative record. If his state or his
city must carry it's own relief burden,
it runs into money. If Washington
shoulders it, it doesn't show in that
particular community's bookkeeping.
The taxpayer is sure to yell, but
the governor or mayor rejoins, Yes,
but that's a federal tax you are VOW

President Roosevelt took charge Of
flood relief today in the widespread
flood area affecting six states.
The death toll had climbed to Is
persons with five persons missing.
Receding waters in many sections
of the afflicted area brought hope to
flood sufferers the danger had pass
ed.
Hundreds of families were home
less as fresh April rains kept rivers
in five states and the province of
Ontario at flood stage today and piled
up an unestimated property damage
as the water receded at many points.
No new casualties were reported
during the early part Of the day, but
scores were suffering from exposure
after being driven from their homes
by the creeping waters.
The death toll attributed directly
and indirectly to the floods stood at
ten, with five persons missing.
Areas in Pennsylvania, particularly
around Johnstown; in Ohio, Virginia,
Maryland and West Virginia and
parts of Ontario province were
inundated.
Residents of lowland districts in
the affected area continued to eva
cuate. Among the heaviest sufferers
Of the floods were Pittsburgh; Wheel
ing. w. Va; East Liverpool, Ohio;
Fredericksburg, Va; Marietta and
Steubenville, Ohio, and London. On
tario.
The Ohio, Allegheny Monongahe-
la, Thames, Rapidan, James and Po-
tomac rivers overflowed their banks
as the rain poured into their basins.
Weather forecasters were optimis-
tic however, the damage would be
light in comparison with the dieas-
trous floods of 1884 and January Of
this year.
The menace to Pittsburghs golden
triangle" billion dollar business dis
trict apparently had lessened as the
flood crest of 35.1 feet was reached
by the city's three rivers and stopped.
The danger at Cumberland, Md,
appeared passed.
The weather forecast for Johns
town, Pa, however, showed more rain
due, and fear existed the situation
there might become acute.

The opposition counted on at least

Some committee members talked

retire from the Supreme Court at the
end of the spring session.
Action toward enacting a program
for industry and labor will be delayed

an administration decision on whether
