Relief Deferred

While Senate and House committees
wrangle owe tax reductions, it be-
comes apparent that tax legislation at
the present session will be of fleeing
value, if an. is passed at all.
Representative Knutson, chairman of
the House Ways and Means Committee,
a plan to call his group into
conference in December to draft a new
tax bill. His committee, he says, has
agreed to open hearings on May 10,
when general tax problems will be CON
sidered. Individual income tax reduc-
lions in the House-approved Knutsor
bill and the measure being prepared
by the Senate Banking Committee, how
ever, will not be brought up.
Instead the committee will deal with
corporate taxes, and some excuses, thu
latter being due for reductions.
With a December committee session
in prospect it would seem that whatever
Congress does about taxes this session
will be short-lived.

BIG "War" Mission

Later this month, perhaps as early
as the sixteenth, the Army Air Forces
will simulate a bombing attack on New
York City.
General George C. Kenney, command
ing general of the Strategic Air Com
mand, who will lead the mission, says
every operational B-29 available will
take part in the demonstration. They
will assemble at Cape May, New Jersey,
and after ~swooping over New York
will fly over Newark, Trenton, Phila-
delphia, Wilmington, Baltimore and
Washington.
At Washington the planes will dis
perse to their home bases, which in
clude Tampa, Fort Worth, Tucson, Ros-
well, New Mexico, and Salin, Kansas
The demonstration will afford parti-
cipating pilots and crews some train
ing in conditions that would exist in
actual combat missions. To this extent
it has a distinct advantage.
1t is to be hoped that sufficient pub
Lefty is given in advance to reassure the
people dwelling along the route and pre-
vent a repetition of the hysteria that
accompanied the Man from Mars radio
broadcast several years ago.
The flight of a hundred and twenty
five war planes (the anticipated mum
ber) above ones head is not calculated
to calm representative nerves, unless
due warning is given and the purpose
fully explained.

For the first time since sugar ration
Ing was instituted there is good pros
pect that Wilmington will shortly have
4 sufficient supply of this needed and
beloved commodity to meet the reason
able demand of the community.
The steamship Corinto, bearing a
cargo of 3,400, 900 pounds is due to
make fast at the Champion Compress
dock of the Wilmington Terminal ware
house today, direct from Cuba. This
is the first major shipment to this port
since sea commerce was suspended with
the coming Of the recent conflict. That
it is intended for local and state distri-
button is good news indeed. So is the
information that it is only the first ship
ment of the resumed importation of
Cuban sugar here. Others are to fol-
low.
It should be possible for proprietors
of public eating places to restore the
sugar bowl to their tables at no distant
date. This will be welcomed by Will

would enjoy the prewar privilege of

Wilmington music lovers have follow
ed the career of William Marlborough
since he graduated from high school
with extraordinary interest, not only be-
cause he had already established an
enviable local reputation as a promising
violinist before he left to continue his
studies at Peabody in Baltimore, but be-
cause of his war service in Europe and
also because he was chosen to conduct
the American Symphony Orchestra in
Paris when the French capital was re-
taken from the Germans.

What Is Initiation?

In a jovial mood, as a man Of his
years with a noticeable paunch should
be, President Truman greeted the re-
porters on the sixty-third anniversary
of his birth with a variety of news
items which are proving of especial in
terest to the people generally.
For one thing, he told them that the
American form of government is the
best in the world even if it does make
a slave of the President. For another
he reaffirmed his belief that the United
Nations will ultimately function as il
was originally intended to do, and that
a Just and lasting peace will be estab.
lished.
What interests as most is his declara-
ton that he never thought the United
States was in an inflationary period and
that his chief objective is to prevent
initiation. This bears a look = see.
1t even invites a definition of in
flation. The photographic heirs of
Mr.. Webster who continue to print his
dictionary, say of initiation: "Dispro-
portionate and relatively sharp and sud-
den increase in the quantity Of money
or credit, or both, relative to the amount
of exchange business" In explanation
of the above, which is hone too clear
alone, Webster's lexicon adds: lnfla-
ton always produces a rise in the price
level"
Considering that the price level has
moved sharply and steadily upward,
with the trend still apparent, despite
the Newburyport plan, and an increase
in the quantity of money and (or) credit
Unbiased in the land, it is not easy to
agree fully with Mr.. Truman's view
that there is no initiation. Nor is it
easy to think that the peak has been
reached.
Unless stern action is taken to pre-
vent another strike wave in major in
dustries. in the settlement OF which
substantial further wage increases are
granted, the peak is not far off, as time
in the aggregate is estimated. For
while strikers invariably suffer fl
~nancial losses while strikes are in pro-
gress, the additional money paid them
at the end of their walkouts, with its
added purchasing power, Railways pro-
duces a rise in the price level"
The American people by and large
are convinced that initiation is definitely
under way.

WASHINGTON, Hall a dozen Of
the worlds leading aviation
authorities on helicopters had a
bull session with Washington
aviation writers the other night
and, just as you'd expect, the talk
all went right straight up and
lowered in mid-air all evening.
Only man who kept his feet on
the ground was Igor Sikorsky,
Russian-born inventor of the heel
e-co-peter'. as he used to call it.
He's still an enthusiast about the
future of his invention, but he ad-
mits it has definite limitations
150-mile-an-hour cruising speeds
and useful loads of from two to
20 persons.
Best story about Sikorsky goes
back to the days of his early ex-
periments for United Aircraft. He
used to take movies to record his
progress. 1t was noticed, however,
that while his films showed the
first models flying up, down, side
ways and backwards, they did not
fly forward. When Sikorsky was
asked about the little detail he
shook his head sadly and said in
his beautiful accent, II know.
This is the one thing we have not
yet solve-ed."
Just to show how much progress
there has been since then, get a
payload of some of the screwball
things the egg-beater designers oil
today talk shop about.
R. w Prewitt of Philadelphia,
president of the American He'll.
copter Society, told with a rotary
motion of his tngue in his cheek
about the idea OF lifting the hell
copter straight up in the air
with its windmill contraption, then
turning it at a 9%o-degree angle and
proceeding horizontally at high
speeds, using the rotor as a pro-
peller.
Engineers say it can't be done
because of the different character
istics of the prop and the rotor.
But its fun to talk about.
WEIGH Pogue, former Civil Aero
nautics Board chairman and now
secretary Of the Helicopter as
ISOLATION. told about a man on a
train, riding by the Piasecki hell
copter plant in Sharon Hill, Pa.
and seeing a two-rotor Job IN
flight.
