Urban VS.. Rural

A little over six months ago only
three cities had local payroll taxes.
Now in almost a chain reaction, the
number has spurted to 49,, a survey
showed this week.
The Municipal Finance Officers AS
sociation says many more cities are
studying closely this form of taxa
ton. For one thing, the local income
tax is designed to tap earnings of
commuters who work in the city and
live in the suburbs.
Philadelphia was the first city to
tax incomes. 1t adopted the plan in
1889. A one and one-half per cent
tax is imposed on incomes earned

American demand is Stacking off
some for new houses and cars. Time

mining factors.
The number in the market for new
homes has dropped 20 per cent from
a year ago, a Federal Reserve Board
survey shows. For new automobiles,
the demand has dipped one per cent.
Nevertheless, there won't be enough
homes or cars built this year to meet
the demand.
The survey indicates that at least
one out of every four families will

NofuroI Gas Pipeline

The Federal Power Commission this
week approved construction of pipe
line to carry natural gas from the
Gulf coast to fuel-pinched New York
and the Middle Atlantic states.
The 1,840-mile conduit, to be built
by the Trans Continental Gas Pipe
line Co. of Longview, Tex, will cost
between $151, 100000 and $4,000, 900.
It's completion is expected by the fall
of 1850.
The project is the largest and most
costly natural gas application ever
brought before the commission. 1t is
expected to benefit as many as 400
million utility customers in the East.
The pipeline will have a sales ca
pacity of 325 million cubic feet of gas
daily in summer and $40 million cubic
feet in winter.
To Save Oil
The commission said the natural
gas would take the place of at least
629 million gallons of fuel oil, now
used by utilities in the production of
manufactured gas.
One condition to the granting of a
certificate was that Trans-C Continen-
tai make further study of the posi-
bilities for underground storage of gas
in off-peak seasons and report on this
within two years.
FPC, without giving a detailed
route, said the pipeline would start
from point in the Rogers Lacy Field

GRIM NEWS ABOUT OIL
 SUPPLIES
Congressional Committees Are Given Reports
 by Mug, Navy

WASHINGTON. Feb, 16.-LR-- Two Congressional, committees heard some grim news today about the na- tion's future oil supplies.
 l. Secretary of Interior Krng told the House Interstate Commerce Committee this country cannot con- tinue to take 63 percent of the worlds oil consumption from 3l per- cent of the worlds reserves. Syn thetic liquid fuels are the answer, he said.
 2. The Navy informed a House Armed Services Subcommittee that 1t has not found anything except traces of oil in Alaska, but it still has hopes.
 Krug recommended that the Gov ernment finance construction of three commercial-size plants to pro- duce synthetic fuels. One would use oil shale, another coal, and third gas
 Private companies should operate the plants, Krug said, but Govern ment help will be necessary to get them started because 8 private op- orator could not afford to compete now with natural petroleum.
 Commodore w. c. Greenman. Di- rector of Naval Petroleum Reserves, asked that Congress appropriate en- ough money to carry the Navy's Arc tic Exploration Program through 1853. He said the Navy has spent about half the s9.6oo.0Oo appropriat- ed in 1945 to finance the work through 1949
 The results so far in Alaska have heen only encouraging, he said. oil has net been found in commercial quantities, he added, but drilling ev- elywhere has discovered oil-bearing sands.
 Three wells have been drilled at Umiat, Greenman said, and one yields 24 barrels a day. Several more promising cores have been drilled at Cape Simpson.
 Greenman said the Alaska basin is promising Because it is believed the Russians are producing oil north of Yakutsk in Western Siberia.
 If they are, he said, they are drill ing on the other side of the basin which the Navy is exploring.
 GYeennlan said the Navy estimates it will cost $2O,Oo0,o00 to finish the Alaska Exploration. However, he did not ask for any specific appropria- ton.

First Sixty Days of Strife Will Decide Winner
 Urges Precautions
By ELTON c. FAY

WASHINGTON. Feb. l6-R--If war comes to America again, the first 60 days will decide the win ner, Dwight D. Eisenhower said today.
 Eisenhower now an Elder Mili- tary Statesman, said so in his fare well report as Army Chief of Staff.
 The General took look nt mat ters diplomatic as well as military, however, in writing his final off cial statement
 He saw the European recovery plan fathered by Secretary of State Marshall as vital to "our sister democracies' and Co us
 Eisenhower did not mention Rus sia by name, but he said
 l. If the western European coun- tries were to become the pawns of totaliturianism America's security would be in dire dangerN
 2. If the democracies of the Mediterranean area should fall and that corridor between east and west were blocked, the effects would be instant and catastrophe. :"
 War, in such case, would be close to us" Eisenhower declared.
 Looking down the purely military read. he predicted
 Because major nations, in the future, will be armed with weapons of terrifying destructive power, a series of lightning blows might con- ceivably end q future war at it's outset.
 In such case, the resulting peace would not be cursed with social chaos produced by widespread de- vastation of the enemy's land and internal facilities for living
 "A corollary to this is the need for q system of major and alter nate or secondary bases around which can be organized. first our own defsnss against air attack, and next our retaliatory counter : offensive"
