Income Tax Yield
Reduces Chance Of
Debt Limit Boost
Officials Soy Nation
Can Run Within Margin
Through April, 194l
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
High administration officials
claimed today that Unexpectedly
large income tax returns made it
probable the Treasury could stay
under the $45 900 900 900 debt limit
without new taxes at least through
April. 1941.
This would give the President and
the Congress elected this fall plenty
of time. they said, to take whatever
action they consider necessary. The
debt limit is fixed by law, and Con-
gress might be expected either to
move 1t to higher figure or increase
taxes.
Barring unforeseen business de-
velopments which would reverse the
present favorable revenue aspects
or unscheduled big appropriations,
the oficials continued, the Treas
ury might be able to stay under
the debt limit clear through the
next f1scal year ending June 80, 194l
May Be $500, 100000 Over.
Few were willing to estimate by
what margin income tax collections
had exceeded budget estimates, but
one who is in an authoritative posi-
tion guessed that income taxes on
1899 income, on which first-quarter
payments were due March IS, would
beat the forecasts by $500, 100000.
Adding to this the fact that other
Treasury revenues as gasoline
and tobacco taxes-are running
ahead OF schedule, he said it was
probable that total revenues would
exceed the budget by $4OO 900 900 in
the next Is months
mot all the 1899 income taxes will
be collected until after December is,
but those counted in the first 20 DAYS
OF March were 81 per cent larger
than last year,
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau
last week ruled out trick methods
OF avoiding the debt limit, such as
ralding the Treasury's cash working
balance or the $4,000 600 900 stabili-
zation fund, but omcials are looking

8 Inches Of Snow Falls
In South; z Below

BY the Associated Press.


The wintry weather that chilled
Easter promenaders from Montreal
to Dixie held over today with little
relief in sight from icy winds and
sub-freezing temperatures.
(The temperature in WASH
ington dropped to 10 degrees at
GAS am. today. A low of l8
is in prospect here tonight with
the weather fair.)
Central and Northern New York
State were particularly hard hit over
the week end as high winds piled up
snow drifts, closing numerous roads
and even crippling railroads. The
Delaware & Hudson Railroads Lau-
rentian Express from Montreal to
New York was freed after being
stalled nine hours by snowdrifts
near st. Edouard Quebec. The train
backed slowly toward Montreal for
rerouting over the Canadian Ma
tional to Rouses Point. It left there
this morning, Is hours behind
schedule, for New York.
Snow General.
In the South. spring weather pre-
vailed only in Florida and along the
gulf to New Orleans. Snow, ranging
from l to 8 inches in depth, extended
from Arkansas across Tennessee into
the Carolinas and down into North
Georgia and Alabama.
An 8-ihch snow fell in Northeast
ern Arkansas. Wind piled snow drifts
2 to 3 feet deep In Piggott, Ark, near
the Missouri line.
Nashville. Tenn, had a 5-irch
snow, the heaviest in March since
1877. Streets were s1ushy with snow
and ice. Memphis, Tenn, reported

$550,0O0 From i. 5.
Supreme Court UphoIds
Government Agencies
Special Stotus, a to3

Receivers of the Commercial Ma
tiona' Bank. and the District Ma
tiona. Bank today lost their fight
in Supreme Court to recover about
$3.50 .n0c from the Secretary of War
and two Federal instrumentalities
for distribution to general creditors
OF the bank. The court returned
a 4-to-3 decision in the case.
Receiver Justus S. Wardell of the
District National Bank one of the
banks involved. said that loss of the
suit would mean loss of very little
in dividends to depositors because
it is hoped the District National
receivership eventually will pay its
depositors 100 cents on the dollar.
At the Office of the Commercial
National Bank receivership, where
10 per cent already has been paid to
depositors, it was learned that more
dividends will be available. The
Supreme Court decision may mean
slightly more of loss to these de-
pcsltors than to those of the other
bank.
Far-Reaching Principle.
But the principle involved in the
court decision is far reaching and
applies to other national banks in
receivership-that a national bank
may pledge its assets to secure de-
poslts by Federal instrumentalities
This makes these agencies special
creditors. The three agencies in this
case are now entitled to keep the 100
per cent dividends already paid by
conservators and receivers.
The decision was delivered by
Justice Frankfurter. It reversed a
decision OF the Court of Appeals

THERE is STILL TIME TO BUY
CHRISTMAS SEALS

Christmas Seals are often hid
den away, like the germs Of tub
erculosis, declared the Nebraska
tuberculosis Association in re-
minder to persons Who have not
yet purchased their 1910 Christ
mas Seals.
"There is still time to make an
outstanding year in the ANNALS
of the Seal campaign in Nebraska"
haid association officials. ours
is state that has never failed TO
distinguish itself in such worthy
causes. A successful Seal drive
means that the Nebraska Tuber-
culosis Association can carry on
its winning fight against this dis.
ease in 1941."
Association officials described
unpaid-for-Seals as "dead soldiers
in the war against tuberculosis" +"
Each Seal was soldier, alive and
equipped. sent out to meet one of
the worst enemies Of mankind. II
the Seals aren't paid for-if they
are allowed to remain in desk
drawers or buried under papers at
home-they are useless.
Ninety-five percent of the
Christmas Seal funds raised in
Nebraska remains in the state to
maintain the active health prog
ram of the Nebraska Tuberculos-
is Association. Five percent of
the funds goes to the national as
sociation for educational and re-
search work.
The drive is of great import
anee to every man, woman and
child in Nebraska. Every citizen
in tn estate should feel grateful
for the work being done to cradle
ate tuberculosis communicable
disease that is preventable and cur
able. No home is safe from tub
erculosis until all homes are safe.
The Nebraska tuberculosis AS
soeiation hopes to continue the
fine work being done to eradicate
the white plague from this state.
Generous purchases of Christmas
Seals will make this possible. Buy
and use Christmas Seals!!!

should operate without the posi-
bility of anyone being able to raise
against it justly the charge of BIZ
as or prejudice"
Recent information received at
National Headquarters indicates
that Negroes are playing an i'm
portant part in the actual operat-
ion of the Selectiye Service Sys-
TEN, Major Johnson said. He re
ported that with 33 States heard
from members of the race had act
ed as registrars in 12,207 instanc-
es. that so of them are serving on
local boards, that there are 3b2
registrants Advisory Board mem-
bers 120 examing physicians, nine
Government appeal agents, seven
appeal board members, and one
medical advisory board member.
This number will undoubtedly be
greatly increased when the other
states, including Pennsylvania,
Michigan and New Jersey have re-
ported.
Insofar as Selective Service
trainees are concerned, Major
Johnson said, there is no question
that Negroes will be inducted IN
fair ratio to their proportion Of
the Nations population. As fac
ilities, units and training cadres
increase more and more Negro
selectees will enter the armed fore
es, he predicted. In this connect
ion, he pointed out:
"The number of selectees ex-
pected for November and Decem-
Der of this year included 1913
Negroes or 1877 percent of the
total. While only 3.3 percent of
| the January call will be for Ne
groes because of lack of housing
facilities and training cadres for
authorized Negro units, in Febr-
uary, the percentage of Negroes
requested in the call will increase
to approximately 80 percent.
"The percent of Negroes in tie
calls over the four month period,
November to February, will be
about 12.2 percent.
Since it is estimated that the
1910 census will show that Negro
es erpresent approximately 10 per
cent of our population a slight in
crease over 1880 this showing for
the first four months of calls re-
mives any fear that Negroes will
not be inducted into our democrat
ic citizen army in their full pro-
portion to the total number reg
istered.'
