Federal Unit Hits
Further Tax Slash
Debt Reduction Advised As Anti
Imitation Step BY Reserve Board


WASHINGTON, (P)-The Fede-
raj Reserve Board advised CON
s.ress last Monday against ANY fur
ther general tax cuts for the pre-
sent.
At the same time it counSeled
prudent economy" in government
operations to create with present
high tax receipts a continuing
surplus to pay off federal debt as
an anti-inflatiOnary step.
The board, i'll its annual report to
Congress. also opposed increasing
the interest rate on government
borrowings. Noting that interest ON
the national debt will reach $4,000
600 600 for the fiscal year starting
July |. the report said interest has
become the largest single item in
the budget aside from expenditures
for national defense, and exceeds
by $500, 900 900 estimated eXpendi-
lures for veterans pensions and
benefits for the fiscal year 1871
Holding of interest rates at pre-
sent levels was advocated also as a
encouragement against banks in
creasin@ their holdings in govern
ment securities.
1T would be preferable" the re-
port said. IF bank earnings were
derived increasingly from private
lending and other operations and ii
less reliance were placed upon
earnings from government securi-

The board expressed concern
over the inflationary possibilities OF

Expenditures
F or Relief
Up In State
Sixty-Two Pct.
Higher Living Cos t S,
Given BY Board AS
Reason For Big In
crease In Case Load
During Past Year.

The expenditure for relief in
Delaware has increased 62 per cent
during the past year. according to
figures released by the Old Age
Welfare Commission, branch OF
which handles the distribution of
relief in the state
The expenditures during May
was $15.373.97 as compared with
$9,74l.9l during the corresponding
month of last year. The increase
is attributed not only to the rise
in the case load from $40 in May,
1915, to 422 last month but also
10 the general rise in the cost OF
living.
The increase in the cost of liV
ing is reflected in the average pay
ments per person which amounted
to $3125 last month as compared
with $24.07 in May, 1915. These fig
ures represent payments for fuel,
rent, and other necessities as we'll
as food.
Relief funds now being dispensed
in the state go entirely to unem-
ployables or persons who have
been accredited as unable to work
because of physical disabilities.
An interesting sidelight OF the
report reveals that while actual
expenses for relief were increasing
all along the line during the past
year the amount of administrative
expenses declined from IL per cent
of the total last year to II per cent
during the past month.
New Castle County received the
bulk OF last months total, a ratio
that is consistent with the figures
of past months. a total of sos 80
went to $50 persons i'll the northern
county. while $1.32S.45 Went to 4>
persons in Sussex, and $9G9.1S tC

Destroy Fly Breeding
Places For Health
Health Board Advises Many Dis
eases Are Fly Borne

Summer weather is bringing out
the flies. and the State Board OF
Health is urging everyone to de-
stroy now the breeding places OF
these winged nuiSanCeS and car
ritrS of disease.
The, fly has been called the most
Objectionable insect with which
man comes i'll contact. Now Is the
time to destroy breeding places, be
tore the flies have a chance to null
tiply, fer | fly killed now may pre-
vent many thousands of flies
Matching by late summer, SO rapid
~ do they increase. Scientists state
that one female fly lays 10 dozen
eggs at time and will produce >
or ( hatcheS if she should live her
full lite of only l month. The State
Board of Health is suggesting that
hOuseholdCrs keep their garbage in
covered containers. that the con-
tents of privies be kept under
ground in pits. the building over
the pit screened and the seat covers
closed. SO that flies cannot get at
the eXcreta. and that manure piles
and other such sources of fly breed
ing should be kept cleared away.
Fly-BOrne Diseases
Diseases that may he carried by
flies include diarrhea and euteritiS,
typhoid fever. and dysentary. Last
year Is babies in Delaware died of
diarrhea and enteritiS; in 1874
there were - and in 1943 there
were l6 who persisted from the
same disease Sanitation methods
have greatly improved since Il
years ago. when 20 to so babies died
every year in the state from this
cause. but there is still much room
for Improvement. the Board points
out.
Last year there We're Is cases OF
typhoid fever with one death in the
state. and there have been two
cases reported SO far this year, as
compared TO Is years ago. wheT
there We're about 80 cases of ty-
nhoid per wear. Dysentary. too. has
been greatly reduced. but last yeal
there were cases and ! death O
dvsentarv in Delaware. The State
Board of Health reminds that sani
tation methods must continue to b'
, nracticed if these gains are to h'
held. and it must he improved i
the diseases are TO he wiped out.
