JULY BACK TAXES
TOTAL $5,629.l0

Total back taxes for the City
and County in July amounted TO
s., 629.1O, report OF the BACK
Tax Dep artment showed yesterday.
The report, submitted at the regu-
Lar session of the Board OF
County Commissioners, showed
that collections for the County
amounted to S2,81o.89, and ST.
1921 in back collections for the
City.
The County received 50, 866. 80
from the State Board of Charities
and Public Welfare.
Of this sum, allotted from State
and Federal funds, S., 1850 was
allocated for old age assistance
grants; s2,4S1.75 for aid to DEEPEN
dent children; and S58S.14 for the
administration OF this aid.
The board supervised the draw
ing of jurymen for the two i'm
pending sessions Of court - one
week of civil court to begin on
August 10, and week of criminal
court scheduled for August 20.
John L. Skinner, executive Sec
retary of the N. c. Association OF
County Commissioners, appeared
before the board to ask their ad-
vice on a matter concerning the
constitution for the association.
Some time last year, Mr.. Skin
ner explained, the constitution in
effect since 1921 was destroyed in
q fire. and since there were no
copies of the document available,
he requested John Vance, chair
man of the association, to draft a
new constitution. Meanwhile, how
ever, a copy of the original con-
stitution was found, and Mr.. Skin
ner was uncertain as to what ac-
ton should be taken.
He was advised by the commits
sion that since the newly drafted
constitution had not been adopted
bv the association, that the old
one remained still in effect, and
that the publication of the old
document together with a letter
from the author Of the original
constitution, vouching for its au-
thenticity, would reassure the
members of the association OF the
validity of the original document.
Harry E. Fales, superintendent
of the Bureau Of Identification,
submitted report of the past
months activities of the office to
the Board of County Commission
ers and City Councilmen, in re-
spouse to recent investigations OF
his work undertaken by these
groups During the month of July,

were fingerprinted by the bureau
and of this number 20 persons
were fingerprinted for personal

The big question now, Of course,
is what attitude Moscow will take

Logic frequently doesn't work in
situations like this where passions

would be for Tito 10 withdraw his
troops. since this wouldn't pre-
judice his claims at the peace table.
Therefore one would expect the So
Wet government to agree with It's

Of this dispute. it's important to
note that Yugoslavia falls within

an economy program that may lead
to appointment OF a general bust
ness manager" for the sprawling
United States Government.
Chairman Robert Ramspeck, d.,
Ca, OF the House civil Service
Commission, told the United Press
Mr.. Truman had given considerable
thought 10 the business manager
idea. Such an, official would be
responsible for finding and elm
mating waste effort, money and
personnel in the many government
departments and agencies with
their 100000 federal employees.
THE President definitely was
interested in the suggestion that a
general business manager be ap-
pointed, Ramspeck said. I'm my
opinion he will give more time to
the management side OF govern
ment than any president in my
memory" Ramspeck came 10 Con-
grcss in. 1879.
A general business manager
would not make administration
policy as such. His recommends
