& tax rate and expenditures for
the county budget could be ar
rived at.
His suggestion was for a rs
cents tax rate, a 15-cent increase
over the 1946-47 rate. A motion
by Commissioner Trask to accept
such ? rate lost for a lack OF a
second.
Figures presented by Smith also
showed an estimated county buc-
get of S1,273, 1852 as compared with
81, 206, 1875 a year ago. No action
was taken on that matter.
rs Cent Rate
The auditor explained that a Is
cents tax rate Should reasonably
take care of expenditures for the
coming fiscal year providing tax
es are fully paid and emergencies

provides 81 cents TO take care

Chairman Addison Hewlett rec
commended the adoption Of the
$61 500 item for maintenance of
schools as sought by Superintero-
ent Roland. That amount COM
pares with $40, 900 allocated in the
l946-47 appropriation.
However, Commissioner Gard
ner urged that Superintendent
Roland be called before the COM
missioners to explain in detail

he seeks in his school budget. The

Gas Tax Harvest

CHICAGO, UD-Uncle Sam and
the 48 state governments did a
landoffice business in gasoline and
motor fuel gross tax collections
last year.a
The overall total was $751;
600, 900, according to a study made

traitors.
That figure represents a 1873
per cent increase owe 1945 and a
1877 per cent increase over the
billion-dollar auto fuel tax total
in 1941, the previous record year.
Biggest factor in the increase
was the lifting Of wartime driving
restrictions. Another was increase
in gasoline tax rates by four states
during 1945 and by two in 1916.

IOANNINA, Greece, July 28.-
WH-The International Brigade

~''invasion" of Northwestern Greece

the mythical product of a Balkan

There was ample evidence to
support the Greek contention that
the guerrillas were armed and sup

but I could find nothing to back "
their brigade theory.
The sources of these reports in
Guided the Greek general staff,
War Minister George Stratos and
Gen. Napoleon Zervas, minister o,

were reported among the INVADERS;
guerrilla prisoners admitted" that
the invasion forces included brig

battalions of foreigners" were bat.
ting on the side of the guerrillas.
Witnesses agreed that the invad.
ers numbered no more than 1000
and were led by a group of Greek
guerrilla leaders well known in
these parts.
l. One commander was reported to
have spoken poor Greek, and to
have been treated with consider
able respect by the others. Another
report said a boy was killed near
guerrilla headquarters after he was
caught eavesdropping on CONVEX
sations between a foreign-speaking
commander and Greek leaders.
These were the closest things to
evidence of the international brig
ade story. picked up by the Greeks
from Balkans reports" that for
eign troops from France, Germany,
Central Europe and Russia had
been arriving in Albania and Yugo-
slav ports.
The Greeks relayed the reports
as ''evidence'' that Soviet pressure
was being exerted on the Balkans.
The trouble was that they did such
a good job of circulation that they
began believing the story them
selves.
In addition, guerilla leaders,
either acting upon their W initia-
tive Or upon instructions from Yu-
golsav and Albanian elements
which furnished them arms, ex-
horted their men with promises
Of help from such a brigade wait

Thus the magnitude of the at

information happened to be, made
the Greeks believe it was a full
scale invasion by an international
brigade. When the first prisoners
said they were expecting help from
the brigade, that was all that was
needed to set off a new alarm.

can zone, feel they know what is
best for Germany. They resent
policies formulated here, many of
which must be compromised with
other international factors. On
the other hand, the people here
responsible for German policy
long have found Clay difficult to
deal with and feel that he has a
tendency to ignore directive.
The latest flareup probably will
spur Marshall's efforts to place
the American Military govern
ment under the State Depart
ment. but many practical problems
stand in the way.
Two years ago at Potsdam,
President Truman decided on di-
vided authority. He agreed then
that the State department should
be responsible for formulating
policy for AMG in Germany, and
the war department should admin
lister it.
Eisenhower Bucked
But as early as October, 1945,
the Army was trying to get rid of
its job. Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover, then in charge in Germany,
wrote the President then that al
though Mr.. Truman gave the
Army the job he also had agreed
at Potsdam on the desirability
of turning it over to civilian au-
thorities as 500 as possible. Eisen-
hover suggested that the transfer
be made not later than June l.,
1916.
Former Secretary of State
James F. Byrnes blocked the
whole idea on the basis that the
State department was a policy
making body and not an admin
istrative one. Marshall disagrees
with Byrnes and said recently that
he thought the German job was
one for the State department
rather than the army.

believed to be a superior force of
well-armed troops. Fortunately,
cooler heads grasped the situation,
restored order and began a coun-

The rebels were unable to pene-

because all the infantrymen were
carrying everything with them.
