Union attorneys held secret con-

course will be governed by what
Attorney General Tom Clark says
TO the court. They would not even
say whether any objection at all
will be raised to speeding up the
mandate process which normally
takes Is days.

The court, unfolding contempt
convictions against Lewis and the

WOULD CUT
BUDGET 5 BILLION
Senator Also Proposes
Huge Sum To Slash In
come Taxes

WASHINGTON, March 9-P)-
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) proposed TO-
day that the House and Senate
agree on a 5000, 600, 900 budget
slash and use So, 500, 600, 900 to re-
duce income taxes 20 percent.
On the same radio program,
B~eardsley Ruml, chairman of the
New York Federal Reserve bank,
suggested an So, 900, 600, 900 tax cut.
Ruml was one of the authors of
the present "pay-as-you-go" tax
system.
The House Ways and Means
committee will take up Thursday
the bill for a 20 percent across
the board slash in individual in
come levies.
Taft voiced the opinion that the
s1l, 200, 600, 900 President Truman
requested for the Army and Navy
in his $37, 500, 600, 900 budget for
the year starting July 1 could be
reduced without impairing the
armed forces.
II believe any department of
the government can be cut 10
per cent and run just as efficient
ly," he said.
Dangerously High
Turning to taxes, he declared:
Taxes are dangerously high.
The burden is greater than the
people of the country can stand.
If we don't lower taxes, workers
are going to insist on higher
wages and they will get higher
wages. Lower taxes will lessen
wage increase demands"
Ruml suggested not only a 20
percent reduction in individual in
come taxes, but also a big slash
in corporation income levies and
elimination of most excise taxes
on goods and services.
Taft suggested the SIS, ZOO, 600, 900
budget slash as a possible middle
ground between the house, which
has voted a S. 900, 900, 900 cut, and

DICKINSON COUNTY FOX
HUNTERS CAUTIONED

Records of the Virginia Forest
Service show that warming fires
used by fox hunters were respon
sible for "a large percentage Of
fires caused by hunters last fall.
A large forest fire will complete
ly ruin an area for fox hunting
and it is difficult to realize why
anyone would be thoughtless or
careless enough to deliberately
spoil his own sport. However,
many cases are on record where
evidence shows that fire was
built on a ridge top to provide
warmpth while listening to the
chase and then this same fire
abandoned without any effort be
ing made to extinguish it. Natur
ally not all of these fires escape
and start a forest fire, but the
fact remains that many fires are
certainly started in this way.
It is recognized that real
sportsment are constantly aware
of the ever present danger Of
forest fires not only because Of
the injury fire does to their sport
but also because of the irrepar-
able damage fire causes in the
forests in Dickinson county.
The Forest Service has TO in
tention of blaming all hunter
fires on men who are interested
in fox chasing but rather is urg-
ing that this. group put forth ev-
cry effort to help in preventing
all fires of this type so that their
sport may be improved and ten
citizens of Dickinson county viii
benefit as result.
