This action was taken in line
with the movement 10 simplify all
taxes. Previously the House had
merged the defense tax into the
normal corporation tax on those
earning over $4,000 a year, 10

The committee adopted a new
feature in the excess profits tax

called a reversal of credit" Under
this provision corporations earning
over S25 900 will pay excess profits
taxes on their total net income
before computing their normal
taxes and surfaces. This is esti-

Capital Gossip
BY y

Raleigh, June 9.-Uncmployment
III North Carolina has been reduced
to the point where not more than
10000 Tar Heel workers., or about
"a per cent of the total available,
are out Of work, ii is estimated by
Silas f. Campbell. senior statistician
Tor the bureau Of research and statis-
tics of the Unemployment Compen-
satiOn Commission.
Latest o~ccupational count of regis
trantS with the service was made as
of April 25 and showed 54,276 JOB
seekers, Of whom 3,785 had work in
their primary occupations. There
were thus 50,49l applicants available
for work IN their primary occupa-
tons and of these 1862 We're report
ed working in their secondary oc-
equations.
The 10000 estimate is on d basis
that not all the unemployed are re-
glstered with the service and it IS
therefore necessary to add to the re-
glstered applicants in order to get
the full total Of Tar Heels out Of
work.

John Ives killed HIMSELF"
That's another interesting reac-
tion," the chief TOLD him causti.
cally. "Why do you insist it was
suicide?
Because the only moment when
a gunshot might have gone unheard
the moment that the two trains
crashed in this room-was when
Ives was alone in the other room"
John Jones was listening intent
ly. your argument makes sense,
all right, provided you can prove
that the bullet which killed him
was not fired from this room"
The professor turned on him
snappishly. "Of course it wasn't!
There We're no holes in the walls.
We know the door between the
ooms vas shut"
Stanley King pointed to the VEN
tilator in the lower part Of the
door, just visible under the long
train shelf that circled the room.
Couldn't a bullet have passed the
whirling blades Of that fan, like
machine gun bullets pass between
the blades of an airplane pro-
%0eller?'
Spinelli was sarcastic. what
murderer would take such
chance, firing through the whirling
blades Of a fan? And what victim
would lie down on the floor to be
shot that way-through the back
OF the head?"
The police chief waved the idea
aside. I'VE know from the position
Of the body that Ives fell out of his
seat at the control panel after he
was shot, And because he had been
sitting at the control panel we
know from the wound that the bull
let was fired by someone who stood
against the wall directly behind
him. We have examined the wall.
know it is part of the solid
concrete foundationssof the lodge,
and that behind it is solid earth.
There is no other answer but that
the murderer stood behind Ives and
shot, then carried the gun out of
the room and disposed of it. That
IS another proof it was not suicide,
despite what some of you think.

Rev. John A. Shell, O. P.

Rev. John A. Shell who spent many years of his life in Waterbury, his home city, leaves behind feelings of great Sor- row in his sudden passing this week. The greater part of his life was spent as priest in the Dominican Order of Preach CTS which loses one of it's highly respected members in the death of Father Shell. Here in Waterbury and throughout the east he was held in high esteem by fel- low members of the order and by those friends he made in his years as pastor, prior and missionary head. Father Shell die the work assigned to him meticulous- ly but preferred the duties of parish priest rather than higher honors.
 Always retiring and self-effacing he quietly accepted his appointments and worked zealouSly in the work assigned to him. He received the honor of procura- tor in the same humble way that he ac- cepted other favors bestowed. His asso- citations in the missionary field took him to many parts of the country, and his early pastorship and position as prior in the middleWest made for him in those localities many friends His return to the east was happy occasion for him because it brought him nearer home which he visited whenever he had even a few hours to spare.
 The last five years of Father Shells life were spent in the small town of Val halla, N. Y, where he endeared himself to his congregation and where he worked diligently in the interests of his parish. His death, though sudden and unexpect- ed, found him as always in life. perform ing his duty, visiting one of his sick flock, ending his priestly career as simply as he began it.
