Employers In
State To Save
InPayroll Tax

TALLAHASSEE. Sept. 2.-Em-
ployers covered by the Florida
Unemployment c ompe n alton
Law will save $2,000,000 through
reduced rates in their payroll
taxes for the last six months of
l947. Carl B. Smith, chairman of
the Florida Industrial Commits
sion, said today.
Notices are currently being
mailed to 5,573 employers who
are eligible for further reduced
rate, which was recommended by
the commission and enacted by
the Legislature at its 1947 scS-
sion The savings to individual
firms will range from S. to $ll
per thousand on payrolls for the
third and fourth calendar quar-
tiers. The new minimum rate is
one-tenth of one percent as
against the old minimum rate of
SeVen-tenthS.
Savings to Florida taxpayers
due to the revision of contribu-
ton rates and other amendments
will approximate $6,000,000 per
calendar year.
One-half of the 1000 employ
ers presently reporting and paying
taxes under the Florida Unem-
ployment Compensation Law are
not yet eligible for reduced rate
since they have not been liable
for a sufficient period of time to
permit the granting of a rate re-
duction.
Under the provisions of the
Federal Internal Revenue Code,
an employer is required to have
been liable for the tax and con-
tributing for a period of more
than three years in order to be
eligible for d reduced rate In
most instances employers a:e not
eligible for a reduced rate until
after the end of their fourth year
of liability. Legislation was
adopted at the 1947 session which
would permit assigning of reduc-
ed rates after shorter period in
the event Congress changes the
Federal Internal Revenue Code to
that effect.

10 Investigate
Condition OF
Freight Traffic

TALLAHASSEE, Sept. 1.-THE
Florida Railroad and Public Util-
tiles Commission has ordered its
field inspectors to find out if
Florida shippers and receivers of
freight are satisfied with the
service of the common carriers.
The commission, which has
jurisdiction over rail and motor
truck carriers within the state,
ordered its inspectors to devote
the next two weeks to interview
ing shippers and receivers. They
were instructed specifically to de-
termine whether or not the car
ricrs are satisfactorily taking
care of loss and damage claims,
COD. remittances and running
schedules. and to find out if the
shipping public is being saddled
unnec essarily with storage
charges.

man IN the classroom.
3. Appreciation of the bene-
fits of education has been slim
uldted in Americans until in
creosing numbers of people ore
making strenuous efforts to
continue their education.
Handicaps Cited
The increasing classroom load
finds the schools handicapped.
Among difficulties troubling the
educators are:
/. Salary scales which have be-
come too low because of sharp
increases in living costs.
2. Sharp reductions in the. num-
Der of people taking teacher
training just at the time when
more teachers are needed.
3. Deterioration of school build
ings and facilities during the war
years.
4. Sharply increased building
costs, curtailing repairs. replace
mentS and additions just at the
time when the need is greatest.
5. Shortages of building ma
terialS.
6. Shortages of books.
Growth Predicted
The pinch will increase this
fall, but is expected to continue
for at least six years. DR.. John
w. Studebaker, US. commission
er of education, estimates that in
those six years there will be about
six million additional elementary
school pupils in the country, about
a million more in secondary
schools and bali a million more
students in colleges.
The drive to meet the emer-
gency situation has long since
started throughout the country.
AT least "A state legislatures have
made major adjustments in school
laws. Many communities have
adjusted teacher pay with or
without state aid in an cffortAo
hold teachers already in the sys-
tenn and attract others.
Money Provided
Nearly all states made some
provision for school financing.

not one cent would be paid
Another reason is that another
valuable portion of the island
would be lost to the city and
citizens of Key West forever. If
the Navy continues to acquire
property in Key West it won't be
long until citizens will be forced
to cross Navy property to get
glimpse of the ocean.
Still another reason is that the
Navy will evict citizens of Key
West from their homes, citizens
who, unable to pay high tourist
rents outside the project, will be
forced to live in sub-standard
dwellings or leave Key West The

1t is not just the 81 families that
the Navy says will be ousted that
are concerned but every civilian
and enlisted person in the project.
They all realize that the Navy
doesn't make a practice of hous-
ing civilians, enlisted men and
officers in the same area and
there is no reason to believe that
possession of Poinciana will
change this policy.
While admittedly the City of

Truman Speaks Before
Conference OF Nineteen
Nations Held In Brazil
WITH MONEY AND
MILITARY MIGHT, TO
FIGHT FOR PEACE
ASSERTS THAT u. S.


QUTTANDlNHA, Brazil, Sept.
2.-President Truman, in a 20
minute address, today. told the
delegates from 10 American ma
tons at the western hemisphere
conference that the United States,
with its money and military
might, is determined to fight for
peace In Europe and in Asia.
He said that the United States
is maintaining its military eff
cacy not with any thought of ag-
gression but solely to bring peace
and prosperity to those nations
OF the world whose economy
was ruined by World War II.
The task is an ardous one but,
he added, he felt confident it
would be accomplished. He ex-
planned that the resources of the
United States are not unlimited,
and he called on every nation in
the hemisphere to do all in its
power to help in the rebuilding
of Europe and Asia.
He praised the defense treaty
of the nations in this hemisphere,
adding that, if they stood to-
gether. they would be able to
withstand any other military
power that may be organized
elsewhere in the world. Solidarity
OF the Americas, he asserted, is
guarantee against aggression of
any other power that is bent on
throwing the world into conflict
again.
He maintained that the Marshall
plan, If put to work effectively,
would restore those nations that
are taking advantage of it to
position whereby they will be
able to sustain their own econ
omy. But before that goal is at
tanned, much work lies ahead and
much money -inust be. spent by
the United States and other ma
tions in this hemisphere that will
join in the movement.
