u. 5. Checks Shippers
In Italy and Tourists
To Collect All Duties

ROME, Italy, April Is tCDN -
United States customs officials have
embarked on an extensive investi-
CATION to determine whether some
italian shippers are trying to de-
fraud the Treasury.
In addition to larger commercial
interests, the check also directly
affects many American tourists who
have bought souvenirs here and
had them forwarded to their home
or to friends in the United States.
Customs officials suspect that
some Italian firms have been
grossly undertaking" the value of
mercandise in the invoices they
made up to accompany the ship
ments for customs clearance.
How System Worked.
Such undervaluations could cost
the Treasury thousands of dollars
in revenue lost by reason OF failure
to collect duty based on percent
age of the real value Of merchan-
disc.
1t works like this:
A tourist in Italy buys handmade
Florentine lace table set for 500
and orders it shipped back to a
friend in America, To save the
purchaser money in duty charges,
the seller makes out a bill showing
value of only $50.
Customs Service is Checking.
Assuming, for example, that the
American tariff on Florentine lace
was 40 per cent Of its value, GUS
toms officials would-if they ac-
cepted the shippers $50 valuation
collect only $40 duty instead OF the
$40 actually due.
Americans back home, who were
in Italy last summer, have been sur
prised recently to receive brusque
letters from the United States Gus
toms Service demanding that they
produce receipts and invoices for
purchases they made six months or
so ago and sent back through Gus
| toms.
! Indicative of the extent Of the
United States Governments inves-
tigation Is the fact that customs
officials have gone back many
months in their recheck OF all in
voices on italian merchandise.

Injunction Blocks Plan
To Install Parking Meters
BY the Associated Press

PRINCESS ANNE, Md, April 10
The town commissioners OF Princess
Anne are puzzling over what to do
with $50 parking meters they have
had on hand for a year.
They started to install them on
the streets of the business section
yesterday but stopped when Circuit
Judge l.. Claude Bailey signed an
injunction asked by Sidney Hayman,
/ local businessman.
The injunction restrains the COM
missioners from putting up meters
in front of Mr.. Hayman's property.
Mr.. Hayman filed a petition for
the injunction after businessmen's
association voted unanimously
against installation OF the parking
meters.

to investigate was killed as he

Mr.. Havard gave this version Of
the slayings:
Gloria called the sheriff late yes

with her to investigate some do
mestic trouble" The bodies of Mrs.
Hinton and the baby were found at
the Hinton home. The sheriff was
killed at close range by shotgun
blast. The killer then apparently
shot Gloria and drove off with her
body in Sheriff Nelson's car.
The car was wrecked about 10

body was found in the wreckage.
Her neck was broken, but an inquest
held that she, like the other three

Posses Use BloodhOunds.
The Alabama Highway Patrol at
Mobile, 80 miles south of here, said
a two-State posse, aided by blood
hounds, was searching for Hinton
in a thickly wooded area south OF

Referring to the domestic trouble

said: There has been continuous

PEIPING, Dec. 16.-China has
about 100000 people. 1t is doubt
ful If more than 10000, 900 Of them,
counting soldiers and officials of all
sorts, are actively involved in the
civil war on both the Communist
and government sides.
The vast majority forms o great
inarticulate mass which suffers from
the war but which, for years to
come, will remain almost ignorant
Of any political change.
Easily half this country's inhab-
itants live no better than they did
centuries ago. In some remote sec
tions, life is about the same as 1t
must have been 1000 or more years
ago.
The farmer represents about 80
per cent Of the population. He lives
and dies in conditions which, to
most westerners, are unamiginably
squalid, yet he has little desire for
the worldly comforts Of the big
cities.
His main aim in life is to till his
soil in humble peace and not be
taxed too heavily.
Suffers Like Ancestors.
He and his ancestors before him
have suffered from the march Of
contending armies. Conscription,
oppressive taxation, famine, flood
and pestilence are his lot-yester-
day, today and probably tomorrow.
He suffers thus from the current
war without participating.
Simple, superstitious and hard
working, he accepts his manifold
Affections as the mandate of heaven.
At least, the farmer has been less
hit than other Chinese by imitation,
for whatever he gets to eat he must
grow for himself.
For the 20 per cent of Chinese
who are not farmers, imitation Is
one Of the wars worst scourges.
Eight years of waf with Japan and
three Of civil war thus far have
made imitation a habit. It has
produced striking results.
Coolies Income Tops Professors.
The coolie, least honored of all
men, makes more than the college
professor, most honored of all.
Take Charlie Yuan, for example.
This American-educated professor
at Peiping's National Normal Col
lege is paid the equivalent of SIS a
month. He also gets allowances of
tons of coal for the entire winter
and 49-pound bag of flour each
month.
Charles wife and seven children
would starve if he did not have
some curios to sell. Yet this man
is the grandson of Yuan Shih-kai,
who made himself Emperor for a.
hundred days. and named Charlie
q duke.
Another professor sold his treas
ured library to feed his family, but
the wolf is still at the door. An
other drowned himself when he
saw his children going hungry.
Tried Taking Poison.
Still another tried to poison him
self. This attracted attention and
a few donations. The largest con-
tribution came from q richshaw
coolie.
Many prosperous coolies sport the
elegance Of permanent waves. They
see nothing strange in hair-dos for
men. It is just another mark of
the western craze in the coastal
cities, where foreign clothes, wrist
watches, fountain pens and thermos
TASKS are sought-after symbols.
At the same time. In both the
cities and countryside, people often

Senate Advisory Unit
Urges Cash Benefits
For Disabled Worker!

Monthly cash benefits to workers
totally and permanently disabled
should be provided under the social
security system, according to rec
ommendation by the Senate Finance
Committees Advisory Council or
Social Security.
The council describes, the protec-
ton against loss Of earnings through
permanent disability as one Of the
most urgent economic needs OF
workers. Few workers can save
enough to support themselves and
their families through long periods
when they are totally disabled, ac-
cording to the council.
The council Is headed by Edward
r. Stettinius, jr., rector of the Uni
Iversity Of Virginia and former Sec
retary of State. It includes 16 other
prominent citizens named by the
Senate committee last fall. Two
members dissented from the report,
maintaining that the needs should
be met from State assistance pro-
grams with Federal aid.
Under the disability insurance
program, protection would be ex-
tended to insured" workers who
have had jobs covered by the law
for 10 years or more, employment
for at least half the time since 1948
in covered jobs, and also at least
half the time before the disability
begins.
Benefits would begin six months
after the worker became disabled.
The amount he would receive would
be equal to the amount he would get
if he were entitled to a retirement
benefit under the old-age insurance
part of the law. This would vary

from q recommended $25 a month
for a person whose average wage
was $50 monthly, to $7S.75, the max
imum, for a person who earned
$3.50 q month.
At the same time the disabled
persons rights to. full old age and
surviyorship protection would bt
preserved.
The benefits would cease If the
person recovered or il he. refused
