Town Tiibits

Emil Knudsen hasn't won any IpriSes in tall story contests that
 we know of, but perhaps it's be.
 cause he didn't submit on' of his
 favorites, which goes like this: A man kept codfsh in bar. rel, and every day he took cup of water out Of the barrel, until 1t was completely dry. Then he hung the fish up on hook over the empty barrel. Finally it rain ed one day, the barrel filled up the fish dropped off the hook and fell in, and promptly was drown led! T!
 The internal revenue ,llector is in lighter mood these days, too, perhaps trying to cheer on us poor taxpayers.
 To employers. he has sent a charming little note, beseeching them con pended knees f,ttingly meek he says. to have their em. ployees turn in tax forms promptly
 The letter goes on to explain that the lower tax rate fer l948 was effe ctlve retroactive to Jan. L, but that lower amounts were not withheld from salaries until May l, meaning that more re- finds are due more people
 And the note concludes: "All of which adds up to an expedite program at a time when you need re ief from strain and strife. Oh, these tax collectors and their cheer at Yuletide! But rejoice. Brethren. and keep smiling. We're counting on you"
 Gene Marian still gets a bunch of mail each week addressed to the Chamber of Commerce, ask ing for information about Kodiak and Alaska One of the latest is from Oakland from 8 girl who says Will you please send noe any maps, pictures or anything of your state?' Gene won't O. bllge with all tha but says he will ma her at least ont map or D cture.

ATOMIC TWADDLE

This ought to deflate the smy effort to magnify the affair into spy scare, but we doubt whether 1t will. A hare of this sort that is set off is never caught, especially in these days of spymania The repre- hensble think about all the sensatlonalism IS the play it has made to ignorance and hysteria

 In our constant check the progress of mankind we have just discovered that radshes lettuce peunas even beans and tomatoes. may now be grown virtually without sweat. Why mess around in the dirt when we can buy ordorless, scientifically prepared soil Tn neat plastic bag? Why worry our neighbors as to what ails our pining plants when we can buy soil testing equipment put little soil in test tube and check the color to in order to find out whether it needs lime potash or phosphorus? If we need to dig for perennial bed gasoline driven gadget will do if for ls And come those torrid days in June July when the weeds shoot high and our interest Tn seed catalogues has vanished, buy one of the paper muches that smother weeds while letting flowers grow Or in the case of hardy vegetables, we can spray the areas around them
 We learn also that earthworms can be purchased instead of dug for that rabbits gophers moes can be driven away by powders that clean deodorized' manure can be bought and that all kinds of mechan- ica robots can be obtained for watering our gardens and doing all the other dirty work while we sit and -and-we while we just sit.

POST EXCHANGES, WILL
 BE LIMITED NOW

WASHINGTON, June 9.-tR-The Armed Forces have agreed to cut out sales of expensive jewelry and other luxury items at post -ex- changes and ships service stores, a congressional committee was in formed today.
 John Koehler, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, told House Armed Services subcommittee that repre- sentatives of the three services sign ed the agreement last Friday The subcommittee has been investigat- ing military retailing operations for several weeks.
 Among ether things, Koehler said, the services have agreed to start collecting the 20 per cent Federal Excise Tax on luxuries at least by August 1. Military retail stores in this country already have been or dered to repay the government for electricity and other utilities used hy the stores, Koehler said.
 A subcommittee headed by Rep. Philbin (D-Mass) is studying all military retailing. It has heard re- peated complaints from local mer- chants, and from officials of na tional retail associations, that the service stores compete unfairly with civilian stores because they do not pay federal or local taxes and that many of the stores sell to civilians.

TAFT HAS PIPELINE

Majority Leader Scott Lucas ar gued that it was better to write moderate labor law than to leave Taft-H Hartley on the books. Though not vote was taken, most of the Dem- ocrats approved of compromising.
 Most outspoken against comprom- ise was Nicely, who shouted: I know what happened when Cham berlain appsased Hitler. That's whats going to happen to the Dem- ocratic Party"
 Sen. Claude Pepper of Florida agreed with Nicely that every one Of the compromises was "Taft amendment"
 Meanwhile, the fight that start ed in the Democratic caucus has been carried over to the Senate floor.

amendments along the same lines. net as strong as those advocated by Douglas.
 "I am not going to be for any amendments" added the MinnesO- tan, unless there is a gentlemen's agreement to go down the line and support this measure. If the labor law of the country is going to be a rehash of the Taft-Hartley Act, let the Republicans do it. l want no part of it."
 Thomas warned that he never would accept any amendments not fin harmony with the intent and spirit of repeating the Taft Hartley law"

DOWN TO BRASS TACKs

The caucus finally got down to brass Jacks when Illinois Douglas suggested five compromises worked out by a coalition of liberal Demo- crats and Republicans.
 Douglas amendments, since made public, call for collective bargain ing, Communist affidavits, fi- nancial reporting, free speech, and 90-cay cooling-off period in strikes affecting the national vel fare. These apply both to manage ment and labor.
 "If Bill Green "A. F. of L.) and Phil Murray (C. I. O. hadn't ap- proved of these," declared Douglas, I.@I wouldn't offer them"
 Humphrey followed up with four

amiable Sen. Clyde Hoey, who Still wears striped pants and swallow tails to work, wanted to adopt an injunction-power provision right then and there.
 Big Paul Douglas of Illinois, the popular liberal who shows signs or going conservative, suggested letting the government operated the struck plants for a 9O-day cooling-off per icd only. Minnesota's scrappy Hu- bert Humphrey thought 30 days was long enough.
 But it was sharp-asa-needel Mil lard Tydings of Maryland who got down to brass tacks. He not only insisted upon giving the President authority to operate struck plants, but warned bluntly: "If you don't do it, you'll lose 19 Southern votes, including mine."
 This caused dynamic Matt Nicely of West Virginia, an old labor war horse, to explode.
 "You may make a lot of com promises around here," he bristled. You may even pick up six South ern Democrats and five Republican. But you'll lose 10 million Democrats at the next election"
 BARKLEY DOES AMOS 'N' ANDY
 Before the fireworks began, the morning session started like class room lecture. Labor Chairman FL bert Thomas of Utah, author of the Taft-H Hartley repealer, played the professor, explaining his bill and answering questions. It was all very scholarly until Virginia's Willie Robertson, whose views out-Taft Taft, accused Thomas of telling him how to vote.
 This brought the usually gentle Utahan to his feet, puffing angrily.
 "I'm not telling anyone how to vote," he exploded. "I'm not here Ile.ding for the bill. I'm here to explain it."
 At the height of the morning session, Vice President Alben Bark ley walked in and brought the dis cussion to a temporary halt. He was reminded of Henry van Porter he drawled, a character on the Amos n Andy radio program.
 As Henry van Porter would say, we are all brothers in the lOdge,' cracked the Vice President.
 Barkley then gently chided the assembled Democrats on their ob- legations to party platform pledges
 q don't want anyone to vote against his principles" he said, "but it is important to remember that we are writing labor policy and we made certain assurances to the peO- .ple."
