Monotony Gets
Britons Down

LONDON - (P1 - A University
of Edinburgh expert on nutrition
suggested today that ten years Of
bitter austerity may be getting the
British people down. "The fatigue
and lassitude so often complained
of in this country" DR.. A. P. Me-
iklejohn wrote in "The PractitiOn-
err" a medical journal, "are much
more probably the result of the
common monotonv and Illustration
of post war life than of understand
feeding"
There is no objective reason fOT
thinking that normal people receiv-
ing the average diet available in
Britain are likely to suffer from
malnutritiOn," he said. It's more
likely, he added, that people are
just tired of eating the same ole
thing.

$6,9OO.OO0 from the income tax dur
ing the current fiscal year, and
like amount next year. Before the
change to the gross income tax,
last years net income tax brought
in $2,356, $4,000. The increase in re-
ceipts from the income tax is thus
expected to account for more than
$4,5O0,O00 out of the total revenue
increase of about $5,7OO,OOO.
The change in the gasoline tax is
expected to boost state income by
less than 100000. Last year the
gasoline tax brought in $685.
9OO.37, while this year the new tax
is expected to result in revenue Of
! $3,75O,OOO.
The state expects to receive in
heritance and estate taxes this year
of $1,S95,00O plus $1,S5O,OOO next
year. This is cOntrasted with actual
receipts of $717, ,4631S in the last
fiscal year.
The data compiled by Mr.. Nc
Dowell also includes a consolidat-
ed balance sheet for all funds, as
of June 80, 1949. 1t shows total cur
rent and capital assets of $1O3, 1885,
S9O.45.
In this tabulation, public lands
are valued at $4,000; improved
highways at $2S,118,26O; state land
and buildings at $42,5S2,651.47; and
equipment at $7,6OO.O43.S2.
The fOrewOrd to the statistical
circular points out that Delaware
is the home of the worlds largest
chemical industry, many other large
manufacturing industries, and has
the worlds largest poultry indus
try.
1t also calls attention to the two
bridges under construction, which
it says are expected to accelerate
the industrial and agricultural
growth of the state.
Delaware does not have a state
tax on real estate, and local taxes
are much lower than those of any
neighbOring state" the fOrewOrC
says.
The circular has been sent tC

houses throughout the country, Mr.

 The House has approved legis- lation to pay Jacob A. Johnson of Kodiak, $15,103 for losses of young foxes due to defense activi- ties near his Crooked Island fox farm in Kodiak channel.
 Johnson said that army and navy operations near his fox farm caused the mothers to kill their young in 194l, 1942, l943 and 1914.
 The services agreed that their operations - largely plane flights over the farm - caused loss to Johnson through the killing of the young foxes.

Want Farm Loan Associations

NGTON, (P) - Rep. Poage D.-TexD introduced today legislation to authorize the crea- ton of National Farm Loan Asso- citations in Puerto Rico and Alas ka.
 The association would be organ ized by the farmers themselves and would make loans to other farmers for the purchase of land. The loans would be discounted by the federal land bank.
 Poage said that his proposal recognizes that Puerto Ricans are entitled to the same type of loans that farmers can get in the con- tinental United States.
 "This is a recognition that they have developed enough economi- cally to make such loans reason abyl safe"
