Mound Bayou To Go
Forward
By WALLACE JONES

Presiding Elder of Mound Bayou District
l am happy to know that my
little talk was considered defense
for the all-Negro town. l am ready
at any time to do my bit. The
thought of to-day is National
Defense. The mayor in his inau.
gural address, was just about the
same as the president of the u. S.,
calling on all to preserve the body,
mind and spirit of the all Negro
town was one of the three greatest
this Country ever heard. l hope
this will be Mound Bayou's great
est. / am changing the mayors
language when he said the pioneers
built a town from a wilderness,
that the Leirs will build the ashes
into bigger and better" town.
l cried with all my might Sun
day before the fire, that l saw a
greater Mound Bayou coming.
Many spoke of it after the fire. So
here is the change. The mayor
means that if the Founders could
build a town from no where to
where it is now, the heirs will carry
it on to where it should be.

Three feet of now on the noun

barbed wire obstacles proved a
formidable handicap to the attack

Torrential rains today were turn

deep mud and roaring torrents.
AS a result the front now is in
active.
Sodden Greek soldiers pitched
their pup tents on the high spots
and crouched in shelters trying to
keep their blankets dry from the
encroaching waters.
Fires were almost out Of tn e

between downpours.

Sales Tax Deduction
Warning Issued Here

North Carolina sales tax pay
ments are not deductible in COM
putting federal income tax.
To their grief, hundreds of per-
sons are learning that Uncle Sans
internal revenue collectors are
very strict about sales tax deduc-
tons; and because of the error, a
lot OF income tax blanks are going
to have to be revised before the
March IS deadline.
Such, in effect, was the word
broadcast last night by Raymond
D. Christman. of Wilmington,
deputy collector of internal rev.
enue.
Somehow or other the word has
cotton around that sales tax can
be deducted from Federal income
tax payment. In some states the
deduction is permissible; but not
North Carolina. In fact, the North
Carolina state sales tax act speci-
ically states that sales tax pay
ments r not deductible on income
tax returns" Deputy Christman
said.
Between three and four hundred
tax returns filed with the Whining
ton office Of the internal revenue
department r being held up be-
cause the taxpayers credited them
selves with sales tax deductions.
They'll just have to be revised"
Deputy Christman said.

GUTTER BRINGS ANTHONY DIM0ND
 FROM KETCHIkAN
Bomber May Be Sent 10 Look for Barge Drift
 ina in St. Elias Area

Returning Delegate Anthony J Dimond to Juneau after his visit to Ketchikan, the Coast Guard Gutter Cyane arrived in port this morning
 The vessel, moored at the Gov ernment Dock, was expected to re- main in port overnight to await the arrival of a naval bomber from Sitka, which is to bring officers from the Japonski Island Navy Base.
 Possibility that the bomber might be ordered from here to the Cape St. Elias area to search for a derelict barge reported missing from a tug tow was seen today, but defin- ite action depended upon weather conditions.
 The Cyane is explained by Lieut. Comdr. L. B. Tollaksen, who re- gently replaced Lieut.. F. K. Johnson captain of the vessel for the past three years. Other officers are Lieut.. (jg) J. E. Richey, executive officer; Lieut.. (jg) N. P Thomsen and Ensign E. H. Houghtaling Also aboard the vessel is Ensign Otto Rohlf, Jr., on temporary duty with the Cyane until the arrival of the cutter Haida.
