new n March d. Ward threatened to
withhold further tax payment on sales

winter. accused the Army Of collecting
sales and excise taxes from customers
without paying them Ito the proper au-
thorities or to Wards"
Wards treasurer, H. L. Pearson
warned that if the Army does not repay
amounts which Ward claims to have adj
vanced in payment Of the taxes, the
company will stop making tax returns
or pavments on sales in the seized prop
critics. Pearson said the Army had col
Iected the taxes and must assure Ward
THAT future tax collections will be paid
to it.
But the Army had already notified
Ward that the government plans to turn
over to the company $2,275,o 600 in in
stallment payments made since the selz-
ure as we'll as other disputed collections

Implying that the U. S. Army is a

merchandise and retained the money
collected and appropriated the pay
ments made by customers on accounts

For many years now, the Democratic
party has made a custom Of celebrating
fine birthday-April 13-Of its immortal
founder. Thomas jefferson. We have
had a dual purpose in doing this. The
first purpose has been to honor the
memory of a worthy patriot and the sec

to the fundamental principles Of Amer
lean democracy.
This years O-besrvances, however, take
on an added historical meaning. TINS

on April Is, u days after the birth
day of Thomas jefferson, author OF the
immortal document the Declaration Of
independence, the American people Will
look hopefully to an important confer
