The Chamber of Commerce is
suggested in this connection be-
cause it is at present well or

any additional financial burden
placed upon it and yet would be
able to function as the logical,
central and coordinate head of

the city.
The executive committee wish
es to go on record at this time
that it will function as a body at

Seription to the Caledonia IN. "
Advertiser, OF a city in the
United States which is little
known to the general public:
Where is that? Get out your
old school geography and look at
the southeInmost tip of Florida
and see that long string of coral
reefs running southwest between
fhe Gulf Cf Mexico and the At
lantic Ocean Nature has been
lavish in building up coral keys

some of which are large enough

by bridges. one seven miles long

when we are IS feet above the

turtle farm, an aquarium full of
local fish whose color is entranc-

But we must not forget that
we are on one of the most cura-

quite eouable-say SIS to 80. The

Seeks 10 Bar Recess
During Conventions
Mckory Won't Agree to
Any Holiday Beyond
Three Days

The Republican minority in the
House is attempting to block plans
of Democratic leaders for a recess
of Congress during the period of the
national conventions, it was revealed
today by Majority Leader Rayburn
during Speaker Bankhead's press
conference.
Asked about the plan to adjourn
at the close of this week, or the
alternative proposal for a recess
during the Republican and Demo-
cratic Conventions, Speaker Bank
head turned to Representative Ray
burn for an answer. He explained
the majority leader had been dele
gated to discuss the program with
Minority Leader Martin.
Mr.. Rayburn shook his head and
said:
THE minority is opposed to any
recess over the two conventions
Asked what would happen in the
event the Republicans continue their
opposition to recess, Speaker Bank
head replied. They're not in the
majority, you know"
Senate leaders also encountered a
Republican rebuff to compromise
proposal for recess until August IS.
Il will not agree to any recess be-
yond three days." said Minority
Leader McNary, who has Joined 9TH
ers of his party in demanding that
Congress stay in session during the
European war crisis.
He pointed out under the Consti-
tuition neither chamber can quit for
more than three days at a time
without the others consent.

Patman Chain Store Bill
Tabled by Committee
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
A House Ways and Means SUBJ
committee tabled the Patman chain
store tax bill today
Chairman Mccormack said the
subcommittee rejected a motion in
executive session to report the bill
favorably and then voted to adjourn
sine die.
This, he said, precluded further
consideration of the measure at this
session of Congress.
The committee action came after
weeks of hearings on the legislation,
which would impose tax ranging
from $50 to 81 900 on chains of 10
or more retail stores. On large
chains the total levy would have
run into many thousands of dollars.
Representative Mccormack told
reporters that there was a feeling
among members of the subcommit-
tee that if legislation along such
lines was considered necessary by
reason of any fear of the threat OF
monopoly as advanced by its pro-
ponents that such legislation should
be of a regulatory nature and not
punitive through exercise of the tax
ing power. Such legislation would
not be within the jurisdiction of this
committee"
