Civil Service
Recreation Jobs Open

SAN FRANCISCO, April 49,
(ANP)-Tn a last minute decision
the San Francisco Civil Service
commission voted to let gradu-
ates from Negro colleges to take
civil service examinations for the
recreation department, April 8.
Under regular civil service rules
only graduates from schools rated
class II and higher of the north
west area in the u. S. and schools
ranked class I outside this area
were permitted to take the tests.
Under these ratings as made by
the American Association of I'm
iversities, only three Negro col
Howard, Fisk and Talladega
were accredited.
Leading the battle for the
change in civil service rules we're
John Adams, counsel for the Bus
mess and Professional alliance and
the NAACP and r. J. Reynolds,
president of the business group.
This action also made it pos
sible for southern whites, newly
settled in this area during the
war to take the exams. The
qualifications were set up for the
exams about 11A years ago.

Do you want better lighting on

you want more Negro police and

Do you want better garbage or re-

These things and more will not
be handed out to us on any silver
platter, nor will they come to US
in one swell stroke. However, it
is clear that they will NEVER
come to us unless we take steps
to go out and get them.
That is why the EXPRESS is
concerned about the city commits
sion campaign that is approaching.
That is why we are running the
ballot daily so we can gain an
idea Of who is most desired by
the people of Dayton.
The plain fact of the matter is
that some white groups realize
that a Negro will eventually be
elected to the city commission.
Realizing this, they are seeking
a Negro they think they can "con-
trol". One who will be as reac-
tionary as Lockett in Cincinnati.
The EXPRESS knows that there
is only one source to be tapped to
determine who should u for the
commission. This is the people.
You. Fill in the ballot immedi-
ately and send it to us today.

The arrival at the State Peni-

Erwin Arthur (Bud) Ingle of Bry-
an means another problem for
Warden Ralph w. Avis. That
problem is what to do with a 15-
year-old boy in a tough over

Ingle, who began a life sentence
today for the Staying of Mrs. John
Gabriel Of Bryan, is the youngest
inmate Of the prison. Says Avis:
"He presents an awful problem
at his age in a place like this.
It's obvious that he must be given
special attention. I'll probably
assign him to a cell by himself
and put him in an office job where
a guard can watch over him."
Avis doesn't want the youth to
be influenced by older, hardened
criminals who may warp his mind.
The warden says that he'll con-
suit the personnel director and
that they'll work out something.
Young Ingle faces a long
stretch at best, unless an Ohio
governor steps in with a spontane-
Gus action. The boy will have

Protect Your EyesigElt

NEW YORK, April 19.-It's
fine to veal sun glasses in the
bright sun. But here's a word of
caution from the Society for the
Prevention Of Blindness.
Don't wear those glasses Holly:
wood style-keepihg them on in
shady places where they're not
needed. The Society says this
makes your eyes less tolerant of
ordinary light. After that even
moderate light may make your
eyes uncomfortable.
Another don't-Don't look di-
rectly at the sun through sun
glasses. Some people who do
this even for a few minutes be-
come partially blind.
And a third word of warning
from the Society. Don't use sun
glasses for night driving. The
glasses cut out so much light that
your driving vision is impaired.
The Society says no glass has yet
been made that will overcome auto
headlight glare and still be safe.

Teen-agers Die
Oil Explosion

WHITEVILLE, NC. April 10.
(ANP)--The two teen-age daugh-
ters of Lonnie Smith, a farmer
who lives two and one half miles
west of here, were fatally burned
last week when an oil can-stove
explosion caused their six-room
house t o burst into flames. The
victims were Cecil Mae Smith, II
and Leola Smith, 10.
Cecil Mae died three hours after
the explosion and Leola died the
next day. Mrs. Mary Agnes Smith,
the mother, was burned about the
face and hands on the right side
of her body as she assisted her
daughters from the living room
where the fire originated. Her con

The fire had it's beginning when
one of the girls poured kerosene
into the stove from a five-gallon
can. The building and all it's con-
tents were burned.

Congress Is Expected
To Increase Taxes on
Corporation Profits
By the AsSociotad Press


Uncle Sam is having money trou-
bles as 1948 closes and 1949 dawns.
Income isn't keeping up with spend
ing. So Treasury officials are look
ing around for ways to get more
revenue.
Right now the picture shapes up
this way:
Individual income taxes look safe
to stay the same in 1949 that they
have been since they were cut in
1948, at least for the great majority
of the 40-odd million income tax
payers.
Corporations may have to begin
paying higher taxes in 1949 to
compensate for the S. billion
break individuals got last spring.
Administration sources indicate
that President Truman will ask the
new Congress for bigger bite from
the corporate profits he talked about
so much in his election campaign.
The President is represented as
determined to balance the budget
and build up q surplus for use in
debt retirement. That means get
ting more tax revenue to overcome
prospective budget deficit of $2,-
900 0,000, 900 or more.
Excess Tax Opposed.
Odds are close on whether he
will ask revival of the wartime
excess profits tax-something he
twice sought unsuccessfully from
the Republican-dominated 80th
Congress-or hike in corporate
income tax rates.
The President may have no easy
task getting Congress to go along,
despite the new Democratic major
tiles, especially if he asks for a
peacetime excess profits tax.
Two Democrats who will have
great power as chairnen of the
tax handling committees, Senator
George. Democrat, Of Georgia and
Representative Doughton, Democrat,
Of North Carolina, already are on
record as strongly opposed to an
excess profits tax in particular.
While the personal income tax
saving that was 1948's outstanding
tax development seems safe to stay
through 1949 for almost all tax
payers, q relative few may have
reason to worry.
President Truman denounced that
tax cut during his campaign as a
rich mans bill'-he had vetoed
it twice in 194S and plugged instead
a $40-a-person tax cut. So he may
ask sitter rates on individuals in
upper income brackets.
Some tax men think, too, that Mr..
Truman may 60 after the easier
estate and gift tax provisions in the
income tax bill. He cited these
provisions in criticising the bill as
"favoring the 9ich."
There appears to be no chance
that individual income taxes will be
reduced further in 1949.
