If the Japs do bomb the United

Behind the News

WASHINGTON April 22-The
w charge has been made in
the press tn a I much of the
housewives trouble in getting
enough food at the grocery is
due 10 government overbuying
and waste Of foods.
One authority claimed 20 per
cent of our available food is lost
by government inefficiency.
It's true. Competent food au-
thorities. outside the govern
ment here, say the federal ham
ding of food is a disgrace"
TliE 20 per cent estimate may
Il or may not be accurate, but
proof of the basic fact lies in
the official action turning back
large supplies to consumer chan
nels.
Apparently. the overbuying
was not in any one line, but in
eggs. dairy products, meats.
vegetables. canned foods and now
potatoes (too many were deny
drated).
1t is true. the commissary
departments for the armed serv-
ices should err on the side of
getting too much for the men,
rather than too little and we at
home must accept what is left,
without complaint.
But waste of food by any one
including the armed services, is
detrimental 10 the war effort.
If a citizen makes a mistake

TIVE DIFFERENCES between
Il the Keynes British plan and
the White American plan for
financially internationalizing the
postwar world were omitted in
a recent column for purposes Of
Slmplification. But there are
differences-vast ones.
Lord Keynes has presented a
tricky method of instituting the
international board of directors
which is TO run the international
money world. Instead of having
membership on the board divided
according to the am cunt of
money put up by each of the
nations, he would allocate these
mighty seats on the basis of
foreign trade handled by each
nation in three pre-war years.
OF course, this would give
Britain complete control The
British, on their little island,

national trading nation.
THUS. the British proposed to

sterilization of international cur
rencies, but they would also

lar and up the value of the
pound.
They could impose penalties
on any nonsubscribing nation.

TREASURER MAKES STATE
MENT ON RESULT OF POLL
TAX HEARINGS

According to a statement is
sued by Treasurer w. M McFall.
the following is what occurred in
the poll tax hearings here before
Judge Robertson last week:
Forty-two cases were heard.
The court ordered the names Of
10 petitioners placed on the cor
rected poll tax list and rejected
eight of the petitioners.
The Treasurer, it is understood
contemplates appealing the 10
cases from the decision Of the
circuit court to the State supreme
court.
And it is further understood
that he will institute damage
suits within a few days because
of what he considers slanderous
remarks in the petitions of the
AZ persons heard.
The Treasurer states that in
the cases of Is of the AZ petition
ers left off the list, that he could
have corrected the list to thai ~
tent if he had had the correct III
formation. For example, he says,
Miss May Fleming had paid poll
taxes as May Fleming for 1910,
but she married a Mr.. Cochran
and paid poll taxes for 1941 and
1912 in the name of Cochran,
and when he made up his list
only the names of those who had
paid for three years were PLACID
on the list as the law requires.
In that way Mrs. Cochran was
left off the qualified list because
he was not aware that the for
mer Miss Fleming was Mrs.
Cochran.

Poll Tax Case
Hearings
Continue

The first week of the poll tax
hearings here before Judge Rob-
ertson ended Saturday with the
near completion of the first list
of AZ petitioners asking the court
that their names be placed on the
qualified voting list for the com
ing November election
An order was entered directing
that "a of the persons be placed
on the corrected list. Two were
rejected. two are pending, and
four names were withdrawn by
counsel for the petitioners, be-
cause of the death of one since
the proceedings started, and be-
cause it was found that one
would come of age just in time
to vote and it was not deemed
necessary that the name be plac-
ed on the voting list, since the
person will be permitted to vote
by producing his poll tax receipt,
while the other two were with
drawn for undisclosed reasons.
Judge Robertson will resume
hearings on the goth. At that
time he will consider the second
petition of 20 persons who claim
to have paid their poll taxes and
whose names did not appear on
the poll tax list. This will be fol-
lowed by another list equally as
large, according to report.
The judge ruled that the pro-
duction of poll tax receipts from
the Treasurer was prima facie
evidence of the proper payment
and that the burden of showing
they were paid illegally will rest
upon the Treasurer. He warned
counsel before adjourning last
Saturday that in the future hear
ings must be fastened in order
to dispose of the matter before
election day.

Attendance Hits
Top Mark In
Schools

First month reports received at
the office of superintendent OF
schools indicate that the county
enrolment for the current year
is approximately $500. This is a
slight decrease over the number
of children enrolled during the
last school session.
The Musick one-room school
led the eitire county in percent
age of attendance. Miss Orba Cole
man. teacher, reported per-
centage of 1895. The Middle
Branch school, with Miss Trulah
Counts in charge, was second
with mark of 99.71. Other teach
ers reporting attendance Of SO per
cent or better were, Ida M. Cum
ningham, C D L Mccoy, Hazel
Swindall, Thel1na Sykes, Katy
10 Arlington. w. O. Branham and
Virginia Nickalous. Thirty eight
additional teachers reported at
tendance of SO per cent or more
Only eight teachers in the coun-
ty had percentage of attend
ance of less than 80.
It is thought that attendance IN
this month throughout the coun-
ty will not be as good as August.
Many children have been kept
home to help with the farm work
due to scarcity of adult labor.
However, school officials wish to
point out to the citizens Of the
county that the amount Of mon
ey from the state for teachers
salaries is entirely based on at
tendance. Good attendance this
year means that teachers salar-
les next year will be increased.
However, if attendance on the
part of school children drops this
session it will mean that teachers
will receive less pay next session.
