TEXAS, LOUISIANA
In SHRIMP WAR

AUSTIN, Tex, -U.H- Texas and
Louisiana have come to a stale
mate temporarily in their shrimp
ing war. The shrimp, a migrant,
has shifted to Texas waters and
brought his troubles with him.
Commercial shrimp fishermen Of
the two states are fighting over
whether they shall be allowed to
catch shrimp in each others coast
al waters.
In 1945 the Texas legislature
passed a law skyrocketing the Ii
cense fee for each boat operated by
a nonresident shrimper to $4,000,
in addition to a regular SIS license
charge. The law was in retaliation
for a similar one OF the Louisiana
books.
The Texas game, fish and oyster
commission now claims that about
60 boats supposedly owned by Tex
ans are actually Louisiana boats in
the name of a resident. The COM
mission recently cancelled the Ii
censes of some 60 other such
boats.
In the state supreme court, hear
|ings on a case brought by a Tex
an with a shrimp fleet against the
nonresident law have been post
poned until October %.
The case, one Of three growing
out of the shrimp feud, was ap-
pealed by the state directly to the
supreme court after a lower court
had issued a temporary injunction
restraining Texas from enforcing
Its nonresident license law.

NEW TAX SLASH MAY
BE DUE TO COME SOON

Washington-The possibility of
a tax slash amounting to billions
In 1948, in addition to the $780,
OOO,OOO annual cut now before
congress, arose. The house ways
and means committee decided to
open up the whole tax structure
for reVisiOnS.
Chairman Knutson (R., Mich.)
announced public hearings will
open May 10 on the broad new
legislation. It will, he said. mean
"substantiaF' tax cuts.
simultaneously, Chairman Mil
llkln (R., Colo.) of the senate fl
nance committee predicted con-
gress again will freeze" the So
clal Security payroll tax at one
per cent each against employer
and employee. This would save
taxpayers about $2,OOO,OOO,OOO in
l948 as without new freeze legis-
latlon, this tax would jump from
one to 2.5 per cent in January.

WAR DEPARTMENT IS
GIVEN ANOTHER SLASH

Washington-A five and one
half per cent budget cut for the
war department was reported in
the works.
A house appropriations COM
mittee member reported that a
subcommittee has decided to lop
about $300,OO0,OOO from the de-
partment'S request for $5,717,791,-
500 for the year starting July l.
The reduction would affect most
ly the army's civilian employees
and operations.
Meanwhile President Truman
asked congress for an additional
Sl0,924,000 to run the post office
department until June 80, and
controversy over cuts already
made ragged on.
Walter S. Hallanan. Republican
national committeeman for West
Virginia and chairman of the ma
tional petroleum council, urged 9
senate appropriations subcommit-
tee to restore S245,0OO which the
house denied to the interior de-
partment's oil and gas division

LABOR LEGISLATION
GIVEN ANOTHER CUT

Washington-With the Repub
lican leadership back in the sad
die, the senate wrote new
toughening amendment into its
labor bill today, 48 to 40.
The amendment has three pro-
visions. It would outlaw: health
and welfare funds financed by
employers and controlled by
unions; what Senator Taft (R.,
Ohio) described as attempts by
union representatives to shake
down" or eXtOrt money from en-
ployers; and the involuntary
checkoff, by which unions pre-
vail on companies to deduct I'M
ion dues from all workers. pay
envelopes regardless of the wish
es of individual workers.
Led by Senator Taft (R., Ohio),
proponents of the amendment
turned the tables on Senators
Ives (R., N. W and Morse (R.,
Ore.), who May 7 played
big part in killing a Taft-sup-
ported proposal to curb industry
wide collective bargaining.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1947-05-15

the outlook, from his viewpoint,
is much improved.
He is still optimistic that we
will get a peace that will be last
ing, and that the United Nations
will be able to carry out the pro-
visions of it's charter. He said he
was just as sure of that as he
was that he was standing there.
The President went on to re-
mark that both We day and VI
day came ahead of the anticipat
ed schedule, that a great many
problems had to be met, that most
Of them had been gotten over
successfully, and that he expects
the others to be met successfully
for the United States.
It was in reply to a question
that he declared he is going to
try to get universal training
through congress at this session,
although the Republicans legis-
lative schedule now makes no
provision for it. Mr.. Truman
some months ago named a civil
ian commission headed by DR..
Arkl T. Compton, president of
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, to study the ques-
ton. The American Legion urg-
ed today that it's preliminary
findings be sent to congress even
though its final report is not
ready.
