We have received for our historical
files from Mr.. E. E. Enlow an inter
esting seven-page account of the
schools he attended and of his teach
ing experience in Maryland.
Most of Mr.. Elbows education was
obtained in the one-room school on
Elder Hill near Friendsville. His has
been long and useful life as teacher
and Civil Service employee. At eighty
three years of age, in honored re-
tirement in California, he recalls the
days of his youth in Maryland; he
writes the same firm hand which he
doubtless learned on Elder Hill more
than fifty years ago.

The packers committee, it was re-

OF beef and pork from regular chan

had reached alarming proportions,
and that there no longer was an
equitable distribution OF civilian
supplies.
In addition. the committee con-
tended that the Army, Navy, lease
lend and other Government aRen-
cies had experienced difnculty in
obtaining adequate SUPPLIES OF meat.
In January. 1t was reported, farm
sales OF beef hides were approx
mately double these sales in jan

committee estimated 100000, 900
pounds Of beef failed to reach usual

Since October. the committee re-

however, that a substantial part OF
these hogs were held back by farm

Budget Chiefs Views
On Pay-as-Earn Tax
Defers Calling Smith
Pending His Letter
Explaining Stond
Earlier Story on Page Ally

Earlier Story on Page A-l.)
By the Associated Press.
The House Ways and Means
Committee today deferred &C
ton on resolutions to call Budget
Director Smith to testify on pro-
posed pay-as-you-earn income
tax legislation pending receipt of
a memorandum which he said
would explain his recent state
ments on the proposal.
There was considerable argument
in the committee before Chairman
Dougton told the members that Mr..
Smith had disclaimed responsibility
for any distortions that may have
been given his remarks on taxes.
Representative Disney, Democrat,
OF Oklahoma, termed Mr.. Smiths
statement 'meddlesome," and Rep
resentative Knutson, Republican, of
Minnesota said the views conflicted
with testimony given the commit
tee by Randolph Paul, Treasury
general counsel.
Mr.. Knutson proposed calling
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
THAI, Economic Director James F..
Byrnes. Mr.. Smith, Mr.. Paul and
other Treasury officials because, he
said, the committee needed to de-
termine who speaks for the Govern
ment on tax matters.
Mr.. Smith said yesterday in an
interview that the conversion to a
pay-as-you-go basis would require
an adjustment" of 1912 tax liabil-
ties now outstanding. Mr.. Paul has
testified before the COMMITTEES, that
certain amount Of forgiveness .
might be desirable.
