In Me1noriam

In loving memory of my broth
er, Pfc. Roger F. Miller, who
was killed in Germany on the
18th day of February, 1945.
A broken circle, a vacant chair,
We seem to miss him every
where.
But in our lonely hours of
thinking,
Thoughts of him are very near.
No one knows the silent heart
aches,
Only those who have lost can tell,
Of the grief that's borne in ST.
lence,
For the one we loved so well.
Do not ask us if we miss him,
There's such a vacant place,
Oft we think we hear his foot
steps
And see his smiling face.
Days of sadness still come over
us,
Tears in silence often flow;
Memory keeps him ever near
us,
Though he left us one year ago.
Written by his sister,
Mrs. George Ray,
RID 3, Delta, Pa.

trane estimates that poultry pro-
duction in North Carolina this
year will be cut from Is to 40 per
cent as the result of the scarcity
of grain and protein feeds.
Feed manufacturers are find
ing it extremely difficult to pur-
chase corn, wheat, oats, and bar
ley" said Coltrane, adding that
they consider themselves very
fortunate when they can obtain
a car of oats"
The Feed Division OF the U. S.
Department of Agriculture in
formed Coltrane that North Car

of protein meal.
"Although we are naturally
pleased to receive this meal, it is
not more than Is per cent of the
amount we were obtaining this
time last year," said Coltrane.
He reported that tax tag sales
from last July l to February l
indicate that only $4,000 tons of
cottonseed meal were sold during
this seven-month period, as COM
pared with $4,000 tons for the
same period a year earlier.

 20 Percent Cutboek

Washington, Nov 2e-(upl-Seh. Glen H. Taylor (D. -IdaO today called for sizeahle cuts in taxes for middle and lower income groups, but denounced proposed across-the- board reductions as schemes to give millions Co the milllonaires and pennies to the pooF." He said the tax reduction pro- grams suggested by Republican lead- CTS and the U. S. Chamber of Com- merce "offer little real hope of tax relief for the family in the l0wsz income brackets."
 Rep Harold Knutson (R.-AEinn.) }. who is slated 10 head the House Ways and Means Committee in the new Congress, has urged a flat % percent csItback in ell personal in- come taxes. The Chamber of Com merce has asked . 26 percent reduce ton.
 Under Representative Knutson's 20 percent reduction proposal" Tay- lor said. "a married man with two children who makes s3,O00 a year would have his taxes cut by s27.40 c year. An individual with a million dollar income would have his. taxes cut sl67. 7.6s3.55."
 Taylor advocated . program which would raise the exemption level to about $3.O00 for a family of four, cut rates in the middle and lower income brackets. and remove all ex- else taxes except those on luxuries.
 "Across the board reductions give little or no help to the little man." he said. But they give q great bonus to .he man whose bank accounts are swollen with war prof. it's. Congress already has given . tax rebate to the rich through the repeal of the excess profits tax.
 "It would be grossly unfair to be- stow an additional gift upon them. at the expense of wage and salary earners."

 Admits Being Peron's Tool
 State Department
 Moy Prosecute Him
 Under Logon Act

Washington, Nov. % -(Up)- It was up to the White House or the State Department today to say whether Andrew Jackson Higgins could or should be prosecuted under the famous Logan Act.
 The Logan Act was enacted in l70o. It forhids q United States citizen to engage, without authori- Sation, in correspondence with c foreign government for the purpose of influencing United States for eign policy.
 At least one state Department of- isciai is convinced thai Higgins vio- lated the law n his handling of a communication received from Presi- dent Juan Peron of Argentina. Hig- gins is the spectacular New Orleans manufacturer of wartime Pr boats and similar craft. He practically heaved . brick through the State Department window over the week. end.
 Higgins confirmed that he had received from Peron 6 communica- tion in which Peron suggested that Assistant Secretary of State Spruille Braden should be removed from office. He said he forwarded it to five members of Congress. Higgins supported Peron's letter with one of his own assailing Braden's direction of our Latin American policies and complaining that the good neigh bor program in the western hemi- sphere has been knocked to hell"
 The State Department instantly reiterated its approval of Braden's policies, which are oriented around a firm and questioning attitude to- ward the Peron government in Are gentina. Braden made no public comment.
 Acting Secretary of State Dean Acheson told questioners Braden had the full backing of President Truman and of the State Depart ment. Acheson recalled that Sec- retary of States James r. Byrnes twice recently had said Braden had his confidence and that there was no plan to relieve him from his present position.
 Braden is in charge Of Latin American affairs in the State De- partment. His disapproval of some Peron policies is well known here and in Buenos Aires where Braden formerly was our ambassador. TG was on Braden's advice that the United States published last year blue book reporting and condemn ing the activities of German na- tionais in Argentina and charging certain relations between them and some ofiicials now in the Perou government. Braden holds that Ar gentina has not lived up to heE formal commitments with respect to Nazis and their property and is actually harboring them.

 A mass meeting of all store employees will be held next week under the sponsorship of Local 2S2, United Retail, Wholesale & Department Store Employees of AmericaM C.rO. The meeting was originally scheduled for next Monday night at Bucking- ham Hall, but arrangements for rental of the hall could not be made. The meeting will be held later in the week, probably as Gar. den Hall.
 Union leaders have not endorsed the strike proposal but Q spokes- man admitted today that he had heard considerable talk Of 6 pos- sible strike before Christmas. Most of the strike sentiment is coming from ron-union stores. Local 2e2 has bargaining rights in half dozen or more stores, including several chain stores.
 At the Chamber of Commerce, it was said that no early meeting of the Merchants Bureau Is planned. The bureau last Summer feceived petitions signed by many store work CTS asking that local stores fol- low the lead of those fin Hartford and other cities and establish a five-day work week by closing each Monday. The plan Is still under consideration py the Merchants Bu- reau and leaders of employees groups claim 1t has been sfelved.
 The union spokesman said that store employees are burned up" at the failure of the Merchants Bu- reau to adopt the Monday closing plan.
