Cemmies, Congress. Socialists All Want 10 Control India Labor

NEW DELHI-LR-The Commu- nists, the Congress Party and the Socialists are battling for control of India's organized labor. The num- Der of union members in this pre- dominantly agricultural country is still small. Government officials put the total at approximately l,500,000 out of a population of 325000,0 GOO. But with several major organizations driving for new recruits, substan- tial growth is indicated.
 The Communists, especially strong in Southern India, made their greatest gains during the war, talk ing control of the hig All-India Trade Union Congress. But in re- cent months they have felt the competition of the Indian National Trade Union Congress, which has the blessings of the Congress Party. Also assuming growing importance in the labor field is the Congress Socialist Party, section of the Con- gress which wants early nationali- ration of industry.

THREE MILLION ARE
 ExpECTED TO VISIT
 U. S. CAPITOL 19AS

WASHINGTON: Government is the capitol's largest industry. Visi- tors bring it its second largest source of income about $60,000.000 an- nually. It is estimated some 3,5o0,- COO persons will visit the city dur ing l949. Guests are already arriving by the hundreds. The Towering of the famed cherry trees is always a top drawing card of the year.
 In addition, Washington in, 1948 will play host to 200 regional or national conventions, bringing a total of 125,000 people to town. Tn preparation for all this, the town fathers have just been putting the citizens through an intensive three weeks courtesy to visitors pro- gram. Speeches, rallies and contests have encouraged politeness and con- sideration. The Greater National Capital Committee of the Washing ton Board of Trade C"always inter ested in anything that is for the betterment of the city and any ac- tivity which trings new business into the areaD sponsored the pro- gram
 One of the ideas behind the eour- tesy program was to make Washing ton even more attractive to it's mil lien of visitors" says James E. Colliflower, chairman of the cour- tesy program. Tn a pep talk to Wash ingtonians, Mir Colliflower, said:' 1 Washington is known as a great tourist city. These tourists leave mill liens of dollars here annually. And we all benefit by this added business ill the community. Think how many more visitors could be brought here if Washington, besides having a lot of beautiful buildings, could have the reputation of being the worlds most courteous city"
 MT. Colliflower gave a personal demonstration of courtesy by pos ing for news photographers by lay ing down his coat in the gutter so that one of our visitors could get over a puddle. In addition to pro mcting courtesy to visitors, the Greater National Capitol Committee sponsors other special events, such as the Cherry Blossom Festival and the Fourth of July celebration.
 The last will be big affair this 1 year On this Independence Day the city will celebrate the Tooth ami versary of the laying of the corner stone of the Washington Monument The committee also puts on the International Children's Christmas Broadcast, participates in the plan ming of the Presidents Cup Regatta and the Lighting of the Community Christmas tree ceremonies on the White House lawn.

Lost Heir. Los! Town
 Canadian Hunt Is On

LONDON-lR-The ghost town of "Anstruther, Canada West" may yield the heir to an old Irish bar onetcy-if anyone can find it. At stake is the Lynch -Blosse, title, created in 1922, and dormant since l942 when Sir Robert Lynch Blosse, twelfth baronet, died. The title is claimed by Robert Cyril Lynch Blosse, distant cousin, but the home office declined to make it official on the ground that lineage was in doubt. Someone with better claim to the title is thought to te alive.
 c. F. J. Hankinson, editor of De- Brett's Peerage, who is helping to run down both heir and town, said: All that can be gathered from fam fly records is that Francis, second son of the tenth baronet, who may have married and had children, died in this peculiar 'Anstruther, Canada West, July 26, 1864. Maybe the town name was changed years ago. Maybe it was some fleeting settlement in North America in the early days, maybe it never existed and the rec ords are all wrong. If anyone knows anything about Anstruther we hav- en't been able to find him.

Forgotten
 EBond Tax
By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE

By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE
 WASHINGTON-Uncle Sam has a tax stake in the more than 90 billion dollars worth of 4E' bonds which have been issued to date.
 However, the governments in- come tax take on these bonds IS probably smaller than you think, Interest on "E" Bonds is fully tax able, but three things tend to re- duce the tax revenue from these popular bonds. They are:
 l. Many persons cash their bonds before interest is payable on them.
 2. Many bonds are bought and cashed by persons whose annual incomes are so low they do not have to pay a federal tax.
 3. Numerous bond owners prop ably don't know that the interest is taxahle and fail to report It ln their tax returns.
 Even the government doesn't know how much revenue it gets from the income tax on the interest on "E bonds or ether federal securities. To find out would require a special check of millions of tax returns, costing considerable money ana time.
 Actually interest is not paid on the bonds. Instead their redemption or "cashing-in,' value increases periodically. This value increase IS called interest for tax purposes.
 There is no increase in redemp- ton value until the end of the 1lrst year after the bond is purchased. So if the holder of an "E' bond cashes it before the end of a year after he buys it, he doesn't owe any l income tax on it.
 A table of redemption tinterest) values is printed on each"E" bond. This tells how much to report as interest income. If bonds are held to maturity-10 years the interest is a maximum of about 29 per cert year.
 The income tax law permits hold CTS of "E'' bonds to report the ln- terest each year or to wait until the bonds are cashed and include all of the interest as income in that year.
 1 Some S19,35O, 100000 worth of 'E' bonds, out of a total of $50,77l ,ooo,- 900 issued, have been redeemed I is estimated interest paid on the redeemed bonds averaged about l.s per cent.
 Even if it were the maximum 2's per cent, the annual interest or small bond holdings would be very small. Some tax authorities believe that many little bond holders nave tendency to forget to report m terest income of 50 cents to thre' or four dollars 8 year.
 The total forgotten probably ! sizeable sum.

Charm in
 The Office
By BETTY CLARKE AP Newsfeatures Beauty Editor

New York-It is just as important to look pretty in the office as it is to look lovely when dating. Some girls tear around their offices look ing like zombies all day and then at 5 o'clock suddenly emerge as glamor queens.
 Little charm aids which can add to your attractiveness Should be kept in the desk drawer, and used not Just for emergencies, but at frequent intervals during the day.
 A bar of soap and clean towel will come in handy as quick re- fresher. Small cotton balls can serve as powder puffs and can be dis posed of after they have been uti- lized. You can get a good supply of these for few cents and they will prove more sanitary than your dirty powder puff.
 Witch hazel is a wonderfud pick me-up when your face is flushed and as an astringent befor applying new makeup.
 Include in your little grooming kit 2 clean pair of stockings, an extra dickey or collar and cuff set and pair of sparkling white gloves. Crisp white accessories always can flatter even drab office dress which must serve as last minute date dress.
 Be particularly careful of the makeup you wear in the office. The point is to look neat and clean. You don't have to plaster yourself with greasy foundations, mascara, eye shadow and rouge to win the loss admiration. You may, with this gla- nor routine, only succeed in making him i'll.
 Look as pretty as possible by keep ing your skin free of skin blemishes. Use powder, a ot-too-dark lipstick and brush your hair to a lovely sheen. A light cologne is always permissible to use in the office, but skip the heavy, exotic perfumes.

SENATE CHAPLAIN KEYS HIS PRAYERS
 10 FIT PROBLEMS
By JANE EADs

WASHINGTON Scottish Dr. Peter Marshall, chaplain of the U. s. Senate, is a man of few words. His prayers at each days opening session last not more than two or three minutes.
 A recent example:
 Forgive us all that we talk too much and think too little. For give us all that we worry so often and pray so seldom"
 The tall, good looking clergyman, who is also pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, says that as far as he knows there is no "directive" for what his prayer before the Senate should be.
 The prayer he says, lis an expression of the needs we all feel. "
 He tries to key the words he off CTS as much as possible to the problems confronting the law makers.
 On the day of the special ses- sion called by President Truman last November he prayed:
 70 God, our Father, we pray for Thy wisdom and Thy guidance for the members of this body as they meet in this troubled hour to consider what this nation should do about hunger that knows no politics and want, that will not wait.
 We cannot escape history. That we have found out. May we also discover that we cannot evade re- sponsibility. By Thy Holy Spirit awaken the conscience of America that our people may be willing to put humanity first"
 The chaplain says he is not dis appointed by the small number of senators present to bow their heads as he delivers the prayers before the Senate roll call.
 They know they are being pray cd for, not only in the Senate, but by the whole people" he says.
 He prayed recently that the faith of the senators in the effi- cacy of prayer be kept strong. There are times, he says, when guidance asked in difficult de- cisions has not always come when we thought it should come"
 Forgive us for thinking, there fore, that Thou are unwilling to help us in our dilemmas, or that there is nothing Thou canst do" he asked.
 Remind us, Our Father, that when we plug in an electric iron and it fails to work, we do not conclude that electricity has lost it's power, nor do we plead with the iron"
 pr. Marshall says de doesn't be- lieve God has any political affil- iations."
 Dr. Marshall was born in Coat bridge, Scotland, speaks with a soft burr. His first two pastorates were in Atlanta, where he lived nine years before coming to Wash ington to be pastor of the Pres byterian church which Abraham Lincoln attended. The Republicans elected him chaplain 6 year ago

SUITFILED AGAINSTL. A.
'Cops' FOR BURNS DEATH
By HELEN TAYLOR

Daily Peoples World Staff Writer
Los Angeles, Sept. "a $400, 900
damage suit against two special
police officers, the Paramount De-
tective Agency, and two other in
dividuals was filed today on behalf
of the widow and two orphaned
sons of Herman Burns, killed by
police August 21.
Named in the suit are Clifford
Davis and Willie Harrison, Negro
special officers, the Paramount
Agency that employs them, Mayer
Schulz, owner of the La Veda ball
room, 249 E. Vernon ave., and
Harry Mercer, alleged rental agent
for Schulz.
Schulz, Mercer and the detective
agency are held to be legally re-
sponsible for the activities of Dav-
is and Harrison.
The two special officers first be-
came involved in the killing when
they hit Julius Burns, brother of
the dead man, in an argument at
the ballroom where they were act
ing as guards.
Herman and John Burns took
their bleeding brother out of the
dance hall and were crossing the
street to their car when they were
stopped by Davis and Harrison
plus several plainclothes and uni
formed police from the metropoli-
tan station.
The regular police, witnesses
said, held Herman Burns while the
special officers "beat him about
the head and neck with such force
and violence that he died there
from"
Other witnesses said the regu-
lar police also beat both Herman
and julius Burns.
The damage suit lists several
John Does as also being response
BILE for Burns death.
