Cucumber Growers Urged
To Use Copper Dust Soon

al. ION the basis of these reports

eastern North Carolina within the
next few days" DR.. Ellis said.
In the northern half of the state,
busting probably will not be nee
essary before June 10, it was said.
The extention service recon-
mends that a dust containing live
per cent metallic copper, derived
from tri-basic copper sulphate in
a diluent such as pyrophylli+e or
tale, be applied once a week.
Three factors may combjre to
make 1947 even a worse oucum

tanning ten per cent zerlate also
gave good results. Dusts contain.

. Psychology plays an important
part in the game of bridge, and
this is especially true in tourna-
ment bridge. Some players be-
come known as under-bidders,
others are definitely over-bidders.
In today's hand West tried to
maneuver his opponents into a bad
spot, only to have his partner take
the hook.
There is no denying that South's
one spade bid was justified, and
when North freely jumped to four
spades, East certainly was justi-
fled in bidding five clubs.
West knew North to be the type
of player who always took the
hook, so he decided to bid six
clubs, never hoping to make it,
but feeling sure that North would
bid six spades.
North's pass was a shock, and
you can imagine Vests chagrin
when East went to seven clubs,
though East could not be criti-
| cized for this after Vests free bid
of six clubs.
When the dummy went down,
West saw that the hand was ice
cold. All he had to do was to
trum, the three spades. He did
not even have to take the dia-
mond finesse because the six of
diamonds was discarded On the
king of hearts.

COLUMBUS GROWERS,
BUSINESS MEN VIEW
PIPELINE PROJECTS
Special To The Star

WHITEVILLE, May 29.-An-
nouncement of a proposed pipeline
network designed to make fuel oil
available at their farms fo- to-
bacco growers was received here
with concern by businessmen,
farmers and oil dealers.
1t was reported that R. E. Mayo,
of Mau-y, president Of the Eastern
Pipe Lines company, had already
petitioned the State Utilities COM
mission for a certificate of neces.
sity. The main terminal to serve
all OF Easte: North Carolina
would be in Wilmington.
From Elizabethtown. Mayo ex-
planned, a lateral line would run
scuthwestward to a point near the
North Carolina-South Carolina line
from Whiteville to Lumberton and
to other tobacco growing sections
of North Carolina.
Oil dealers here predicted that
the plan might eliminate them.
Businessmen asked about the mat
ter reserved opinion. One farmer
spoke in favor of the project for
its convenience and probably the
reduction in price of oil that might
secure to the consumer.
However, n farmer who uses
a lot of oil revealed that fuel oil
had advanced in price much less
than other commodities and that
he was not sure that the new line
would provide better services than
the loyal dealers and distributors
who have taken good care OF farm
ers.
Mayo pointed out that those using
fuel oil for heating purposes would
also be a possible market.

Income Tax Rates Bar
To Progress, Chamber
Tells House Group
~ the Assocjoted Press

The United States Chamber Of
Commerce today called individual
Federal income tax rates so severe
as to be a bar to progress, thrift
and prosperity"
Through five witnesses represent
ing its Committee on Federal
Finance, the chamber asserted:
"A peacetime system must be in
stalled at the earliest possible
moment. 1t must be stable, equit-
able and workable system. permit
ting replenishment of the we'll
springs of enterprise
The chambers views were pre-
sented in prepared statements as
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee continued hearings on gen.
eral revision of Federal tax laws
, to be undertaken next year.
Quick Action Urged.
In urging quick action OH the
proposal to overhaul the tax struc-
ture, Ellsworth c. Alvord of Wash
ington told the committee that
present high taxes are brake on
production" which drain our re-
sources, sap our strength, kill Our
initiative, deny incentive"
The four other witnesses. who
dealt with specific phases of Federal
taxation, were Laurence A. Tanner
of New York City, individual inl
comes; Paul E. Shorb of Washing
ton, corporations; Henry B. Fernald
of New York, depreciation and ne
loss, anu Roy C. Osgood of Chicas .
gifts and estates.
The individual income tax rates,
and the methods of applying them,
are so severe as to be a bar to
progress, thrift and prosperity, and
therefore, to a sustained yield of
income" Mr.. Tanner declared.
TN their effects, they comprise a
. short-sighted method Of raising
revenue-a penny-wise and pound
foolish policy"
Mr.. Shorb told the committee that
the present 38 per cent levy upon
corporate incomes should be cut by
per cent in 1948 and eventually to
Is per cent.
Hits Other Tax Laws.
Mr.. Fernald proposed liberalizing
depreciation and net-loss tax laws,
saying that this bears directly upon
the question of maintaining and ex-
panding industrial production and
employment"
Urging eventual repeal of Federal
estate and gift taxes, Mr.. Osgood
declared these sources of income
should be returned to the States as
soon as possible. He said the Federal
taxes have adverse" economic
effects, adding:
Certainly there is no encourage
ment to any one to build capital If
up to IT per cent of it is to be taken
by the Government at his death as
in the case of the present law"
Among other recommendations
presented by the witnesses:
More extensive reductions in all
brackets than provided in the pend
ing 105 to 80 per cent income tax
cut bill.
A limit of so per cent of taxable
net income upon the total liability

No nation embarking on a war
against an enemy separated from it
by large body of water has won
that war without a predominance of
sea power. This has held true since
the days fthe Spanish Armada, or
even since the Fifth Century BIC,
when the invading Persians were
turned back from Greece by the de-
struction of their mighty armada.
Lack of superiority on the sea
proved fatal to Napoleon, Kaiser
Wilhelm and Hitler in three devas-
tating world wars; it rendered the
invasion of England, planned by
the Germans for the fall of 1910, an
impossibliity. It was sea power that
caused the defeat of the Spanish in
1898 an dthe Russians in 1905. Sea
power has kept every war since 1872
from United States soil.

employees and not even miss them.
Even counting the tremendous re-
duction in government employees as
result of liquidation of the vari-
Gus war agencies and the lay-off OF
thousands of civilians as a result of
the reduction of the military estab-
lishment to a peacetime basis, the
highest figure including all of these
is reduction of approximately $50
thousand. So Congressman Taber
reached approximately one-fourth of
his goal.
Debate in the closing days of the
congress over the agricultural APP
preparation bill was particularly Bit
ter and lengthy with reference to
the controversial issues of soil con-
servation, school lunches and parity
payments. The house COP leader
ship had reduced soil conservation
payments from 300 million dollars
to $50 million dollars, had entirely
eliminated 212 million dollars for
parity payment appropriations and
had reduced the school lunch pro-
gram from IS million dollars to As
million dollars. The house also
slashed the budget estimate of SILL
100000 for federal meat inspection
almost in half
The Senate debate for reStOr-
alton of these items as solemn
pledge TO the farmers of the
country was led by Senators
Russell of Georgia, Lucas of IL
linOis, Young of North Dakota,
Morse of Oregon, Robertson of
Virginia and Hill of Alabama.
Said Senator Morse with reference
to both the tax reduction program
and the agricultural appropriation
bill, II think it illustrates again two
points that need to be driven home.
One deals with the tax reduction
program which the senator from
Georgia and opposed the other day.
1t illustrates again that the Ameri-
can farmers must appreciate the fact
that the type of economy which is
now attempted to be foisted upon
them takes out of one pocket many
more dollars than is attempted by
politicians to put in another pocket
by way of tax reduction program.
1.-The second point it illustrates is
the argument about the American
farmer working so many days out
of 10 for the government. Let me
tell the American farmer now that
If this type of raid on his best
interest is permitted, he will find
that congress will have sold his eco
nomic interests short. It is time the
American farmer should awaken to
what is being done to him by this
congress"

A THOUGH RETURNS are not
"A complete on various appropria-
ton bills and neither are totals COM
plete on new commitments of the
80th congress, it seems apparent that
whatever slaShes have been made in
governmental costs will be largely
Offset by new expenditures.
Chief among these new commit
ments is, of course, the two billion
dollar cost Of redeeming terminal
leave bonds.
Congress, while making slaShes in
appropriations, has failed to reduce
the extent of government services
and as result, in many cases cost
of these services will be transferred
back to the states so that in the
final analysis the cut in appropria-
tions represents no net saving in
taxes.
For instance, if the house cuts
stand in the bureau of Indian af-
fairs, 81 states will be forced to ex-
pend almost four million dollars
more for education if they are to
continue to educate Indians in the
states.
Another instance where states will
be forced to put up the money
slashed by congress is in the ground
water studies of the geological sur
vey. These studies have been made
on a $3.50 basis, the states paying
half and the federal government
paying half under a long standing
agreement. In Florida, for instance,
ground water studies are important
to development of the state, and in
Is western states the additional cost
to them with federal funds with
drawn will be approximately 600
million dollars.
Another result of drastic cuts
in appropriations and failure to
cut services at the same time
will bring about more central
lied government, which is di-
rectly opposite the policy which
has been enforced for several
years. The trend has been to
decentralize government. For
instance, drastic cuts in agricuI-
ture, in commerce and in the
department of the interior will
mean the closing of scores of
state field offices in these de-
partments and more centraIiza-
ton Of the work in Washington.
