For War Fund

The sum of $685. 5 has been raised
during the current drive for the Nat
ional War Fund, according to a re-
port by Mrs. A. S. Tatum, Durant

as large a percentage of its $4,000
quota.

yet to solicit people are asked to do
so at once so the drive may be COM
pleted.

HAZEL

6Y HAZEL BRANNoN

Three more b~ootlegging places
were raided last week by Holmes
county law enforcement officials.
Whiskey was found at all three
places: J. r. Weems Store, south of
Lexington on highway II; Bills Ser
vice Station and Pete and Macs
Place, both on highway 81 north of
Pickens.
Affidavits made out for the RAIDS
by County Attorney Pat M. Barrett,
called for seizure of intoxicants and
gambling devices.
On the Sheriff's return to the

gambling devices were found.
The Weem's place as well as the
other two places mentioned all had
slot machines operating last week.
The slot machines are still there, or
were today at the time of this

It looks like the operators of boot
Logging establishments in the county
have no respect for or fear Of the
law.

Some Of our readers might wonder
what the harm Is in a few slot ma
chimes.
The slot machines r illegal and
should not be allowed to operate.
Like the prohibition law the laws
against slot machines are broken
every day. When these laws are re-
peatedly broken as they are in
Holmes county it tends to break
down all law-enforcement.
When operators Of slot machines
get by without penalty the next
step taken is open gambling
which we have in Holmes county,

Real Estate Levy
In Budget Message
BY the Associated Press.

oS tne ASsOCldteQ fTeSS.
ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 19.-Reduction
of the Maryland real estate tax from
u to II cents per 500 valuation and
continuation of the mandatory one
third reduction on state income
taxes were advocated by Gov.
OConor today in his budget address
to the Legislature.
The budget for the 1867 bien-
mum totaled $112, 1888 500, the largest
in history, approximately $500, 900
more than for the 1944-5 biennium.
Increases mentioned by Gov.
O'Conor over the 1s44-5 figures,
included: S2,113,112 for public
schools; $906,383 for mental disease
hospitals; s7l3,7s7 for the University
of Maryland; $155,127 for public
health; s2Ss $50 for tuberculosis
sanatoria, and $27S,311 for State
teachers colleges.
Retention of the income-tax re-
duction would be for the 1946 fiscal
e year only, the Governor reserving
judgment on possibilities of reduc-
ing it similarly for the 1947 fiscal
years.
Finances Warrant Cut.
IT believe that the States finan-
cial condition will warrant a con-
tinuation Of the decrease in income
taxes, of 1915 per cent, on individual
returns during the present calendar
year of 1945. This gratifying result
will avoid the necessity of return
ing to the full statutory rate of
2 Per cent on ordinary income and
5 per cent on investment income
as had previously been anticipated" :"
the Governor said.
ST recommend, therefore, that
there should be passed at this ses-
sion law requiring the reduction
of 33s per cent on individual in
comes for the 1945 calendar year,
to be reflected in the Safes revenues
for the fiscal year beginning July
!, 1945, and ending June 80, 1896"
The Assembly disposed of quanti-
ties of minor legislation yesterday
to clear the decks for the budget
address and other major matters
ahead.
Twelve bills were passed in the
Senate, while the House took final
favorable action on %.
All but one were by unanimous
vote, the exception being a House
bill which went through by a count
of SO to l after dissenting address
by Baltimore City delegate.
Delegate Anthony Di Domenico
raised the lone objection over a bill
which would raise from 3 to 16 years
the age of children which it would
be unlawful to desert or abandon"
Position Not Clear.
He claimed the measures position
had not been made clear on deser-
ton of illegitimate as we'll as legiti-
mate children.
Chairman Milton Tolle of the Ju-
dietary Committee responded that
the phrase ANY child" in the law
covered all possibilities and that no
change was needed. Penalty for the
violation would be fine or imprison-
ment.
Among the 28 bills introduced In
the Senate was the old, and so far
unsuccessful, campaigner which
would repeal the Maryland Declara-
tions of Intentions Act. Under this
act citizen must declare his inten-
tion to vote year before the cleo
tion date. The repeal measure was
introduced by Senators Wilmer Fell
Davis Of Caroline and Robert B.

and some Negro leaders. The steel
mill superintendent and the local
publisher took the position that "it
didn't make sense to be fighting on
all fronts for democracy that could
be practiced at home"
Richard A. Nuzum, the man who
has been labeled pro-Negro, was
known as anti-Negro then. He was
told to install a democratic program
at Froebel. He did. That aroused
loud cries from the Danch-Lach
combine in the way of a more in
tense agitation for a Jim crow
school in the Froebel district.
Negro children in the district are
enrolled at Froebel because Mayor
Finerty could not obtain a federal
loan large enough to enlarge the
seating capacity Of Roosevelt High
school to accommodate them. If the
government had granted him the
loan, Froebel would have been all
white, there would have been no ra-
cial agitation and all Negro high
school children would have been
shifted to one Jim crow school.
With the expiration of his mayor
atty term near, Finerty has failed
his Catholic constituents and
churchmen. The children were en-
couraged to strike in order to ex-
ploit the issue for political purposes.
He is the city's first Catholic mayor
and he may be the last for many
decades to come.

white Parent Teachers association,
headed by julius j. Danch, whom
Finerty made city hall custodian,
and Joseph j. Lach, an undertaken,
to hold the mayor to his promise to
keep Froebel white.
That appears to be the source
from whence the agitation started
that led to two student strikes to
GUST Negroes from the school. Chill
dren were used to carry out a race
hate program to save church prop
erty.
When it became apparent the
race-hate program would be effec-
tive, Mayor Finerty is reported to
have called meeting. He discussed
the problem with the Gary chamber
of commerce heads, the superin-
tendent of schools, the principal of
