Tire Inspection Tabs
Must Be Presented
When Asking For Gas

The New Hanover County Ra-
uon Board announced Friday that
considerable confusion exists in
the public mind since the recent
announcement that periodical in
spection of tires is no longer re-
quired.
It is still necessary, the board
emphasized, to bring or mail tire
inspection records when applying
for supplemental gasoline. Fail
ure to mail or bring in the tire
inspection records has resulted
in the delay of renewals for B anc
C. books.

HOME TOWN BOW
BY JACK HAND

BROOKLYN, April 81. -P)- It
took Ace Adams four years to see
both the start and finish of an
opening day ball game but the
veteran relief artist, who appear
ed in 10 games a year ago but
started only three, was present for
both today, as he ruined the day
for 1861 Ebbets Field customers
by hurting the New York Giants
to a 80 decision over the bod
gers in the Buns home bow.
Ducky Medwick, Dodger of
the way with two singles that drove
yesteryear, helped the Ace along
in two Giant scores. It was the
fourth straight for Mel Otis men.
Adams took the decision over the
Brooklyn ace, Whitlow Wyatt, who
had to take himself out of the
game when his arm refused to
loosen up after one inning. AS Wy
att had given the Giants a one-run
ASoo LII tlloI LII 81 IL dlllG liz was
charged with the defeat.
Johnny Rucker walked to open
the game, moved to second on a
sacrifice and romped in on Med
Wick's first hit, a sharp single to
center. The Giants made it 20 in
the fourth when Phil Weintraub
walked, moved around on Ernie
Lombardi's single and an infield
out and scored on Buddy Kerr S
fly to center. The third and de-
cisive run came in the fifth On
Fuckers double, a sacrifice and
Medwick's single to left.
The Dodgers threatened serious
ly only once and that was in the
seventh when Gene Mauch walked,
Frenchy Bordagaray doubled and
Dixie Walker drove in both with a
single to right.
Brooklyn Borough President
John Cashmere tossed a perfect
strike to Mickey Owen in the open
ing day ceremonies after Governor
Thomas E. Dewey passed up the
exercise. The Governor stuck it
out for the entire game despite
the chilly winds.

The boreboding picture of the

ed by the Army-Navy-M azitime

Harness (R.-Ind.), committee
member, the assertion the prob
lem is not one of manpower but
of proper handing of manpower
now available.
The increasing number of per-
sons applying for unemployment
compensation, and the reduction of
industrial manpower needs result
ing from cutbacks in production,
Harness said, ''makes it apparent
that the problem is not one of
finding men but of getting the
available men into jobs.''

cast compared the ''work-ranks'
to "the ranks for soldiers" and
said Commanders in the first

All factory personnel-from SUI
perintendents to the lowest work
ers-have been made subject to
strict and severe punishment for
failing to carry out their respon-
sibility, the broadcast said. More
over, it added, "a way has been
provided" to punish an entire
factory group for the dereliction
of only one person in the group.

Simplified Tax Plan Given
Wide Approval By Leaders

Washington - The administra-
ton and congressional tax leaders,
in marked contrast to the bitter
cutlery over the presidential veto
of the $2,3OO,OOO, 900 revenue bill
joined enthusiastically in support
of a far-reaching program to sim
plify the nations tax laws.
Treasury Secretary Henry Nor
genthau described as "well con-
ceived and intelligently planned
the "streamliner" tax plan ap-
proved Friday by the tax-origina-
ting House Ways and Means
Committee.
The plan frees approximately
O,OOO,O 900 of the 100000 income
taxpayers of the annoyance of ev-
er having to figure another tax
return and makes things easier
for the other 100000.
Given bipartisan backing,
swift enactment of the stream
liner" was forecast. Chairman
George (D-Ga.) of the Senate FL
nance Committee predicted a sim
plification law will be adopted
before Congress recesses for the
Republican and Democratic ma
tional conventions.
Morgenthau's statement show
ed that while the administration
and Congress may be at odds on
the amount of taxes, there is en-
phatic harmony on how to collect
them. In words calculated to
heal some of the wounds of the
recent veto battle, in which the
administration took terrific
beating from Congress, the secre-
tary said:
'The Ways and Means Commit
tee, under the able leadership of
Congressman Doughton (D-NC)
has done a great piece of work.
1t is great job not only because
it is going to provide welcome re-
lief for the taxpayer-relief to
which the taxpayer certainly is
entitled-but because the job of
formulating simplification bill
was done with such dispatch and
without confusion of any sort.
My people here in the Treasury
have spoken highly of the Coop
Grafton they were given by the
committees tax experts. We
contributed the best we had, and
so did the committee experts. So
did the committee. The result is
a we'll conceived and intelligently
planned recommendation for
Congress, that will prove great
boon to the country"

present 20 per cent withholding
system against wages and salar-
les would be revised to deduct the
