Modifying Poll Tax
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 14.-A
proposal to exempt war veterans
permanently from the poll tax as a
prerequisite to voting was defeated
by the Tennessee House yesterday,
So to 80
It was the fifth attempt to modify
the poll tax defeated at this session
of the Legislature, and repealists
had based most of their dwindling
hopes on the measure.
The Tennessee Legislature in 1943
repealed the sales tax, but the Su-
preme Court invalidated the re-
pealer, holding that constitutional
amendment was necessary.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. II P.-
The Senate Judiciary Committee re-
ported favorably yesterday a joint
resolution by Senator Kearse OF
Bamberg to eliminate payment of
the poll tax as a requirement for
voting in South Carolina.
If adopted by both branches Of
the Legislature, the resolution. in
volving a constitutional amendment,
would have to be approved by the

Wallace Issue Faces
Showdown Before
Hostile Rules Group
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
An openly hostile House Rules
Committee came up today to de-
cision on legislation dealing with
the Government future of former
Vice President Wallace.
The Senate withheld a vote on
confirmation of Mr.. Wallace as Sec
retary Of Commerce pending House
disposition of the bill by Senator
George, Democrat, OF Georgia, di-
vorcing the multibillion- dollar Re-
construction Finance Corp. from
the Commerce Department.
The House Rules Committee can
do one of these three things.
/. Bottle up the George bill, re-
fusing to clear it for floor considera-
tion--with a view to bringing about
outright rejection of Mr.. Wallace by
forcing q Senate vote on approving
him as Commerce Secretary with
powers over RFC.
2. Grant an extraordinary rule
whereby the House would be allowed

amendment to the George bill strip
ping away the Presidents war pow
ers to reshufde Federal agencies.
This amendment is designed to
make certain the President could
assign Mr.. Wallace no duties other
than those of trimmed-down Com
merce Department. Such a rule
also would assure a House vote on
an amendment taking the Commerce
Secretary of the Export-Import
Bank Board.
3. Send the George bill to the
House floor under regular House
rules, but with an understanding
that House vote would be had on
the Export-Import Bank amend
ment. This would kill the war pow
ers amendment, for admittedly II
can be considered only under q spe.

Jolly old bartender, or waiter who
has served you for years, may be a
spy, trained in the art of piecing
together scraps of seemingly innocu-
Gus information into data of real
value to the enemy.
A perfect example of this was the
Belgian woman, Romany Rondeel,
who, during the first World war, was
known to the German army of occu-
patton as Canteen Ma. A year be-
fore the start of the war, Romany's
husband, a carter of produce for
neighboring farmers, was incapaci-
tated by disease. So Romany, in
spite of her large family, took over
her husbands work, picking up the
farmers produce, and delivering it
to town.
Shortly after war was declared,
her husband was killed by the in
vading Germans. 1t is safe to say
that this act cost the German army
thousands of lives, for it turned Ro-
many into one of the Allies most
dangerous spies.

Big crops and good prices left a

If I don't invest this in inflated
land values, what can I do with it
to earn anything?" I said to him,
Did you ever think of using part

farm income after the war? For $3.50
a month, or $1,000 year in War
Bonds, you can begin to collect ten
years after the war 5000 a month.
AS you will be getting older by that
time, wouldn't that be better sup
plenent to what income the farm
then produces than having to turn
again to the cream can and what
your wife can make out of chickens?
Wouldn't it be nice retirement fund

In addition, if you can put in War

purchases of equipment, for repairs,
for up-keep, for new household
