TAX STRUCTURE
OF STATE THREAT
Tax Com. Mclaughlin
Warns Conn. Congress-
men About Bill

Hartford, Con-, March 2 - (UP)
Tax Commissioner Charles ]. Nc
Laughlin telegraphed Connecticut's
congressional delegation today that
the tax structure of the state and
its municipalities was threatened by
a bill of Representative John j.
Cochran, Missouri. exempting de-
Tense industries from taxation.
The broad implications of its re-
troactive features ;" said Nc
Laughlin, would create chaos and
in some instances probably NUM-
cipal bankruptcy"
Cochran's bill, now before the
house ways and means committee,
would exempt the industries from
assessments on land and buildings,
and defense products, and recon-
mended the exemptions be retroac-
tive to September 8, 1889 when Pres
ident Roosevelt declared a state of
national emergency.
"The enactment of this proposed
law" wired Mclaughlin, would
practically ruin the tax structure
of the State of Connecticut as well
as its municipalities"
The state, he said, would have
to return all corporation business
taxes, and towns all personal and
real property taxes collected since
the retroactive date. He urged all
Connecticut congressman to oppose
its passage.

OF PURIM
TO Be OBSERVED.
Services in All Local Syna-
gogues Tonight; Chill
dren's Services

The festival of Purirn, symbolic
ing the universal hope for the
downfall of the forces of destruc-
ton and evil, will be celebrated by
the Waterbury Jewish community.
starting tonight, with services IN all
local synagogues.
The one-day festival, which
opens with the reading Of the scroll
of Esther, relating the origin of the
holy day, is characterized by good
will and fraternity, exchange of
gifts among friends, and charity to
the poor.
Historically, the festival traces
its inception to the downfall OF
Haman,e vizier of the Persian king
Ahasuerus, who counselled the Me-
dean monarch to destroy all Jews
III the kingdom. The diabolical
scheme was defeated through the
intercession of Esther.
An added feature of the holiday
is the baking Of tri-cornered pastry
.@nown as Hamantashen, represent
ing the triangular hat worn by the
evil vizier. Filled with either prunes
or poppy-seeds. the pastries serve
as reminders of the liberatino of
ancient Hebrews from the tyranny
of an oppressor.
Children will celebrate Purim at
5 o'clock this afternoon, in the He
brew Institute. The scroll of Es-
ther will be read by Abraham
Kramer, and refreshments will be
served.
