Watson Says
Sale Tax Not
Constitutional

CLEARWATER, Dec. 10 (FNs,
Speaking before the Clearwa-
ter Merchants Association re-
Gently, Attorney General Tom
Watson, candidate for governor
told members of the Organization
that the cost of state government
can be cut rs percent and that a
sales tax is unnecessary and un-
constitutional.
The men in our legislative
branch of government who think
in terms of tax reduction are az
scarce as hens teeth" Watson
declared.
The cost of our state govern
ment has climbed from $50. OOO.-
900 in 1926 to $125, 900, 900 in '46.
Instead of trying to find things
10 tax, our government leaders
should try to relieve the tax bur-
den. Taxes can be cut now. The
war is over, and the war emery
ency has passed"

Taft 10 Enter '48 Race
Formally Tomorrow
1n Note 10 Ohio 6, 0.P.
By Gould Lincoln

Senator Taft of Ohio tomorrow
will formally accept the invitation
= of the Ohio Republican organization
to enter his name in the Ohio pri-
mary next year and become a candi-
: date for the presidential nomina-
:. ton.
His acceptance will be contained in
a letter addressed to the Ohio Re-
a publican State Committee.
The announcement of Senator
~Tafts candidacy will remove former
Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Mime
sofa from the lonely position of be-
{ ing the sole announced" candidate
: for the Rpeablican nomination.
= No Comment on Plans.
: Here today for a conference of
: congressional leaders with Presi-
: dent Truman on the foreign aid sit
uation, Senator Taft had no COM
,ment on his political plans But
'he did confer with Representative
Brown OF Ohio. who is expected to be
in charge of the Taft campaign.
The Taft statement is expected
to be general in nature. 1t is
known, however that the Ohio Sem
ator does not contemplate entering
any presidential preferential pri-
maries outside of his own State be-
cause as leader in the Senate, he
will not have opportunity to CAM
paign In any of these States.
Taft EOrces Encour, ooA
The Taft forces in the Republican
Party have been encouraged not
! only by Senator Taft's reception in
the West but also by reports from
other sections They believe they
are rapidly overcoming a feeling
that has existed in some quarters
that Senator Taft, while highly re-
garded, could not be elected if nomi-
mated.
What effect if any, the announce
ment of the Ohio Senator's candi-
dacy will have on the plans of Gov.
Dewey of New York remains to be
seen. The New York Governor has
been reluctant to make any formal
announcement of his candidacy, al
though his friends have been active
In his behalf for many months.
Senator Taft will leave by plane
this afternoon for Cincinnati, his
home, and tomorrow he will be in
Columbus when his letter is pre-
sented to the Republican State Com
mittee.

Amber Condemned
By Legion Of Decency
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The film.
Forever Amber" was condemned
by the Legion Of Decency today as
"a glorifcation Of immortality and
RIGHTEOUSNESS" and Catholics were
told by Francis Cardinal Spellman
they could not see it with a safe
conscience"
The cardinal, in a letter to all
pastors in the New York archdio-
cese, to be read at all masses Sun
day. called attention to the action
of the legion in placing the much
ballyhooed film in its condemned"
classification and said: Accord
ingly I advise that Catholics may
not see this production with safe
conscience"
1t was the second time the cardi-
nal had singled out a specific film
for condemnation. In November,
1941, he denounced the Greta Garbo
picture, "Two-Faced Woman"
Officials of Twentieth Century
Fox Co., producers of the film, said
they had no immediate comment.
The Rev. Patrick j. Masterson,
acting executive secretary of the
legion, said that the reviewers Of
the organization are drawn from
a panel of so women, all members
Of the motion picture department
of the international Federation of
Catholic Alumnae.
He listed the legions ratings: Al,
unobjectionable for a general au-
dience; Az, unobjectionable for
adults; B, Objectionable in part, and
c, condemned.

Labor Board Hearino
OF Baltimore Printers
To End Tomorrow
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 23.-Indica-
lions that the National Labor Re-
latlon Board trial examiners hear
ing on an NLRB complaint the
international typographical Union
and its Baltimore local violated the
Taft-Hartley Act by failing to bar
gain collectively with Baltimore
print shops will be completed to-
morrow.
The case is the first of its type
under the Taft Hartley Act, which
amended the labor law to make
unions, as well as employees, liable
to prosecution for unfair labor
practices"
At yesterdays session, the sew
enth. developments included:
l. A disclosure by Woodruff Ran
dolph, president of the ITU, that
sample contracts providing for an
"all-union' shop had been sent to
807 locals as substitute for the
unions traditional closed shop.

Randolph said the sample contracts

publishers and print shops.
2. A contention by Gerhard Van
Arkel, ITU counsel, that the NLRB
is powerless to order the union to
bargain, nee the ITU officers have
yet to syn Communist am
davits.
3. A statement by NLRB Counsel
Sidney j. Barben that when the %
Baltimore print shops organized as
the Graphic Arts League filed
charges that led to the NLRB COM
plant, Mr.. Randolph went so far as
to say the board should turn over
the charge to the Justice Depart
ment for criminal prosecution of Mr.. !
Street" (F. E. Street, league execu-
tive secretary on grounds Mr.. Street
had made false" statements in the
charge.
4. Mr.. Randolph's assertion that a
request that unions sign a no-Strike
clause was an insult to the ITU."

Lovett Outlines
Type of Troubles
In Aiding Europe

Take Acting Secretary of State
Lovett's word for it that problems
involved in working out a program
of economic assistance to Europe
are not simple.
He gave this hypothetical illus
tration to a news conference late
yesterday:
Suppose the United States is asked
to supply 100 tons of pig iron for
Europe. 1t then develops that only
so tons are available. This means
that Europe's steel production esti-
mate, figured on the basis of the
requested pig iron, must be reduced.
The smaller steel production
means cut in estimated exports.
This reduces estimated European
dollar earnings, increasing the
shortage Of dollars-the crux of the
problem in the first place.
That's where you meet yourself
coming home, Mr.. Lovett remarked.
And that's where a reporter
interjected, you say To Hell with
it, huh?"
Mr.. Lovett laughed and put his
reply of the record.

F. D. Nichols Ends
Four-Month Tour
Of ID Countries

F. D. Nlchol, editor Of the
Seventh-Day Adventist periodical
Review and Herald, has Just re-
turned from four-month tour OF

countries during which he covered
$4,000 miles.
OF Europe he said: There are
no adjectives to describe the
wretchedness of Europe"
And of Palestine, he commented
The only Arabic phrase I found
it necessary to learn was I am not

The Takoma Park resident said
the trip reafflrmed his belief that
the effectiveness of Christianity
lies In its ability to save the bodies
as well as the souls of men and
women.
"Christians in this land must not
only support Government plans for
aid but are In duty bound to do
even more" he stated. They can
contribute clothing for shipment
abroad. They can send relief
packages through CARE or can
contribute cash to other worthy
agencies"
Mr.. Nichol emphasized that the
war has not brought religious
revival to Europe but that church.
men told him men and women are
turning to some political program
for help. He added that the main
weapon to combat the rise of
totalltarianlsm which threatens
Europe again must be a revival of
practical Christianity.

A||ergy Drug Is Antidote
For Colds, Doctor Finds
BY the Assoeia,sd Press

Chance discovery of a new-and
still experimental-method OF treat
ing the common cold was described
today by Navy doctor.
Encouraging" results in the treat
ment of such colds have been
achieved with benadryl, a drug
originally developed as a treatment
for certain allergic conditions, Capt.
John M. Brewster reported in the
United States Naval Medical Bull
letin.
In fact, he said, 1t was while
treating an allergy patient with the
drug that he found, to his surprise"
that 1t apparently checked a cold
the patient also had.
Describing subsequent expert
mental trial of the drug in 100 cases
OF common cold of virus origin, Capt.
Brewster asserted:
1T has proved to be the most
satisfying single therapeutic agent
for the treatment of the common
cold"
