So To Bed

An ardent rode0 prize
seeker was busily angling for
a big one on the Atlantic
View pier at Wrightsville
Beach yesterday. His luck
had not been too good, and
all he had was one small
mullett.
One of those very talka-
tive women sightseeing on
the pier buttonhOIed the fish
erman, who was fully occu-
pied in minding his own bus
mess and said, aren't you
ashamed of yourself? A great
big fellow like you might be
better occupied than in
cruelty catching this poor
little fish,"
maybe you're right, LADY,"
replied the exasperated an.

kept his mouth shut, he
wouldn't be here"

 CUT DEBATE
 WILL BEGIN
Senate Re dy 10 Discuss House Measure = An-
 other Repeal Asked

WASHINGTON, May 21.--iR- With the Senate ready to open debate on the House-approved s4,000, 100000 income tax cut, the telephone industry asked Congress today to repeal the excise levies on communications.
 This would save taxpayers an- other $400, 100000. The excise tax is levied on telephone, telegraph and other communications service.
 It was the first recommenda- tion for a new tax cut in the committees move toward general revisions of the tax structure, which Chairman Knutson (R- Minn) said should mean "substan- tial" tax reductions beyond the current $4,000 100000 bill The committee plans to write the gen. eral revisions into law next year.
 In the Senate, Finance Chair man Millikin (R-Colo) predicted that opponents of 1947 income tax cut will reach their high water mark" on postponement vote-but that the mark won't be high enough to block the tax slash.

MAY AGAIN ON STAND IN HIS
 OWN DEFENSE

WASHINGTON, May 21.-lR- Former Rep. Andrew J. May testi- fled today that checks received from the munition- making Garsson brothers and deposited to his per sonal bank account were used to pay expenses of a Kentucky lum- Der company.
 The former House Military Con- mittee chairman is on trial on charges of taking $55,000 in bribes from his defendants, Murray and Henry Carson, in return for official favors to the s78.00O,0O0 Carson shell-making combine.
 The prosecution contends that May received substantial part of the alleged brihes through Cars son financing of the Cumberland Lumber Company. May has denied getting any profits from the firm and has insisted he only acted as the Garssons agent
 May told a Federal jury today that his wartime authority as Chairman of the House Military Committee gave him the right to intercede at the War Department in behalf of munitions makers Henry and Murray Carson.
 The government charges that  May took S55,000 in bribes from the Carson brothers, co-defend- ants at the trial and former key officials of a $7S,000,0O0 munitions empire.
 May also told the jury that checks received from the Garssons and deposited to his personal bank account were used to pay expenses of a Kentucky lumber company
