earning between .$25,000 and
$4,000 pay special notch rates.
which would be absorbed in the
new schedule.
For individuals, the bill would
wipe out most of the income tax
cuts voted by Congress in 1945
and 1948. The President recon-
mended, however, that Congress
retain these two features of the
1948 law:
l. Fixing the individual exemp-
ton at 5000 instead of $500.
2. Allowing married couples to
split their income for tax pur-
poses, under the community prop
erty principle, which results in a
lower tax.
Overhauling Scheduled.
President Truman'S letter made
1t clear that this is only an in
terim program and will have to
be followed by a more compre-
hensive overhauling of the tax
structure next year.
The administration apparently
decided that an excess profits tax,
such as existed during World War
II. could not be revived hurriedly
this late in the year. There is al
most certain to be a demand on
Capitol Hill, however, that this be
considered.
Chairman George of the Finance
Committee said he doubts his
committee will make the higher
corporation taxes retroactive to
last January. He indicated Con-
gress is more likely to start the
corporation increase on October
l. along with the personal in
creaSes.
In order to get quick action, the
President recommended that the
Senate take up the tax revision
bill already passed by the House
and rewrite it to fit the sudden
change in the international Situa-
tion created by the Korean con-
flict.
Excise Cuts Opposed.
The House bill was written at
a time when the outlook for peace
was bright. 1t proposed cutting
$1,010,000,000 from consumer ex-
else taxes and making up the loss
by closing legal loopholes and
raising corporation income taxes. |
The President suggested the
Senate strike out the excise cuts,
but keep the loophole closing pro-
visions and then add his new SIS
billion in income taxes.
Under this procedure, the Sen
ate could pass the emergency tax
bill first and send it directly to a
joint House-Senate Conference
Committee for final drafting. Nor
mally, tax bills start in the House.
Tax Increase Doubted.
Senator Robertson, Democrat.
of Virginia, said he would mot
be surprised to see a IS billion
excess profits tax proposal come
up later this year or in January"
He added that he doubts Congress
will increase any taxes before
next year.
Senator Robertson was one of
the first to propose that Congress
order some tax increase quickly to
help keep the American economy
on a sound basis in this emer-
gency. He proposed, however,
simple formula of adding 10 per
cent to the bottom of the tax
bills of all individuals and corpo-
rations, as was done in 1941 for
national defense needs.

East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1950-01-12
BY Bob Keefer

A double "whammy" will haunt
a dangerous Elyria quintet when
it invades Shaw's "made-to-order"
gym tomorrow night in an i'm
portrait Lake Erie League tussle.
The invaders will not only have to
overcome the tremendous handicap
of playing on the confning local
court but they must also overcome
the superstitious aspect that Fri
day the 18th presents.
The Pioneers have always ex-
perienced difficulty in beating
Shaw but an Elyria victory tomor-
row night is definitely not beyond
the realm Of possibility.
In the Al games played against
the Cardinals since the formation
the Lake Erie League, Elyria has
won only 13 games while losing 81.
Shaw has proven practically in
vincible on its own small court by
winning II games and losing only
five times.
Coach Harold (Pete) Block, in
his first year as Elyria's head
coach, has brought the Pioneers
along fast after a poor start and
they have now won four of their
five games for ga record. With
only two lettermen available from
last years squad which won only
six of its nineteen games, pros

a wholly different feel. In the
House we have two-toned figured
blue panels-in the Senate these
are yellow.
1t is' difficult to judge, for the
lower section--the Floor-has as
yet not been touched and the two
styles clash in very real dishar-
mony. This was accentuated on the
opening day by the full use of the
motion picture lights-so that the
first impressions could not be over
pleasant.
One heard considerable adverse
comment as it became clear to the
Members that there will be nothing
left of its traditional environment
of 90 years of law-making when
the halls are finished.
You will recall that there was
much feeling expressed in the sum-
mer when it became known that
the lovely old ceiling in which glass
seals of the states were above US
in the House constant reminders
that we are a Representative Re-
public, Union of sovereign states,
that this was to be done away with.

Advance Ticket
Distribution For
so Flower Show

Distribution of advance sale
tickets for the Greater Cleveland
Home and Flower Show that comes
to Cleveland Public Hall, March
A through IL, was made this week
to several hundred garden clubs
and organizations within industries
and businesses throughout all of
northern Ohio.
AS in past years, these fifty
cent money-saving advance sale
tickets to the "most beautiful show
of the year" provide these organi-
cations an opportunity to make
money for their treasures as we'll
as to make sure that their friends
will get their tickets early enough
to make plans to visit the Home
and Flower Show that last year
drew 175,O00 people.
Again the vast main arena of
Public Hall will be transformed
into a colorful flower garden dis
play of breath-taking beauty by
the Florists Association of Greater
Cleveland. All of the extensive
exhibit halls in this biggest ex-
position building of the midwest
will again be filled with educa-
tional exhibits of interest to home
owners and home gardeners. The
Green Thumb Court will have an
impressive lineup of exhibits of
Garden equipment, seeds, flower
ing plants and all of the things
chat gardeners have been dreaming
about all winter long.
The very latest types of home
equipment, home appliances and
building materials will be on dis
play at the Home and Flower Show
to make it easy for the public to
do thorough job of comparative
shopping.
Three full scale homes are to be
erected by the Home Builders As
sociation in the Lakeside Exhibi-
ton Hall. One of these will be a
most attractive home designed by
the Cleveland Chapter of the
American Institute of Architects.
For the first time in America
Fire Chiefs House, including the
recommendations of Ohio's Fire
Chiefs. will be built in the Home
and Flower Show as a graphic
demonstration of how fire protec-
ton can be built into the residence
today.

Second Place EIyria Faces Double
Hazard At Shaw friday The

poets for a good year were not
too bright. However, the present
team, although having tendency
to be inconsistent, packs lot Of
scoring punch. This is borne out
by the fact that the Red and White
hardwooders have averaged 48.6
points per game in their last five
contests.
In Lake Erie League competi-
ton, Elyria is tied for second place
with Lakewood, having defeated
Heights, 50-45 and Shaker, 45-37,
while losing to the Rangers, 1851,
on one of their "off" nights. The
Pioneers have probably the tallest
team in the league with four of
the five starters hitting the 6'3"
mark. Forward Mike Merva, last
years leading scorer and one of
the two returning lettermen; Gen.
ter Bob Hettler; and Guards Ken
Logan and Dick Hartman are all
"human .skyscrapers." The latter
trio, incidentally, are all juniors
with Hettler leading the scoring
parade to date with SO points for
an lilo point average. The start
ing quintet is completed by for
ward Tom Farmer who, at So, is
the "runt" of the outfit and the
other letterman. The team, because
of its superior height, excels on
rebounds with the left-handed
Logan being unusually adept under
the backboards. The Pioneers also
employ the fast-break to good
advantage when the occasion pre-
sents itself and have zone de-
fense which is generally difficult
to penetrate.
Coach Roy Wisecup is contem-
plating a change in the Shaw start
ing lineup with Bill Campbell as
likely replacement for Tom Mein-
hardt at right guard. Campbell
was very effective against Lorain
last week and the team can use his
dependable presence under the op-
ponent's basket. AS usual, the Car
dinals will rely heavily upon the
scoring punch offered by Dick Fort
and Dick Henderson. Fort con-
tinues to set a torl'id scoring pace
and it is unlikely that any oppon-
ent will overtake him in the league
scoring race. In three Lake Erie
League games to date, the lanky
senior has tailed 20 points for an
amazing 1888 average. His closest
rival is Lorain's Walter Watt who
has scored 46 markers for a 1913
average. Henderson is close third
with 45 points to his credit.

Cards Defeat Lorain To
Make ItThird lei Straiqht

The Cardinals were forced to
stage a second-half rally to defeat
Lorain, 45-4O, for their third
straight LEI. victory at Shaw
Gym last Friday.
The Steelmen led all the way
through the first two quarters and
only a third-period squirt by the
local cagers averted a defeat.
Led by Junior Walter Watt, a
pint-sized guard, the visitors took
a 1879 lead in the first quarter
and managed to stay in front, %
Il, at halftime despite "Holda"
Forts eight points in the second
frame.
Shaw began to click in the third
period when they chalked up ten
points while holding the Steelmen
to a pair of field goals to take a
31-26 edge. Bill Campbell was
largely responsible for stopping
the dangerous Lorain attack as he
took most of the rebounds off his
taller opponents blackboard.
The final quarter was a ding
dong affair with both teams dump
ing in IA points as the Shaw spec
tators bit their nails in frenzied
excitement.
In what is probably new record
for the present-day "fire horse"
type of basketball, only two fouls
were called on the Cardinals dur
ing the entire second half. In fact,
there was total of but eight per-
sonals inflicted on the home team
and only IA on Lorain in the en-
tire contest. Most unusual when
you consider that state high school
cage statistics reveal that the av-
erage number of fouls called in
each scholastic game last season
was 33.
Once again, Fort took scoring
laurels with % points, all on field
goals, and Ia Of which were scored
in the first half. Shaw's most
promising candidate for All-Schol-
astic honors really had his eye on
the basket since statistics show
that he connected on II of the 10
field goals he attempted-phenom-
enal shooting, needless to say! He
has now averaged 1871 points per
game for one of the top scoring
marks in the district.
The Shaw JV's registered their
fourth straight victory by defeat
ing good Lorain JV team, 48-46.
Center Tony Gilberto, who is due
to be promoted to the varsity squad

average per game to 1913.
