GIHospitaIity
Presidential Group
Urges Drive Due to
Service Expansion

American communities TODAY
were called upon to take a new
look" at their hospitality facilities
for members of the Armed Forces.
The Presidents Committee on
Religion and Welfare in the
Armed Forces made the request
and pointed out that the Nations
services are growing to more than
2 million. 1t added;
1T becomes increasingly impor-
tant for communities which are
visited by members of the Armed
Forces to take a new look at their
military hospitality programs and
to extend their activities to pro-
mote the off-post spiritual and
moral welfare of young men and
women in uniforms"
The committee was appointed
by President Truman in 1948.
Since that time, staff members
have visited about 100 American
communities in a study of the
question, What is being done for
today's servicemen?"
Not Too Much Done.
Not too much, the committee
found. There is. however, a
"heart-warming willingness to do
what is needed"
Citizens were mostly unin-
formed about the size Of our
armed forces and about the great
number Of teen-agers who COM
prise them" the committee said.
They were grateful for the in
formation, SO they might set about
doing something about it."
The committee said that owing
to the world situation, commune
ties that have no hospitality pro-
gram for servicemen should
start Immediately establishing"
such programs.
"Reappraise Efforts"
"The Presidents Committee on
Religion and Welfare in the
Armed Forces calls upon all cit
izens to begin now to reappraise
their efforts and to expand their
welcome to service personnel" the
committee declared.
The committee said it found a
number of communities, both large
and small, which have maintained
their hospitality programs Tor
servicemen.
It cited Philadelphia's full-time
paid staff of trained workers.
These people coordinate the hos
pitality efforts of more than 500
Philadelphia organizations cater
ing to Fort Dix, MCGUIRE Ar
Force Base and the Philadelphia
Navy Yard servicemen. Los An
geles also was commended for its
planned program.
AS an example Of what a small
community can do, the committee
cited st. Mary's County, Md. 1t
pointed out that citizens COM
mittee had been set up IN that
rural area to provide services Tor
personnel at the Patuxent River
Naval Air Station.
In Washington, the makings OF
a full scale hospitality program
are underway under the guidance
of a new organization, the Asso-
ciated Services for the Armed
Forces. 1t embraces three agencies
the Jewish Welfare Board, the
Armed Forces YMCA and the Ma
tional Catholic Community Serv.

0'MahoneyAsk,
Excess Profits
Passage Now
But George Doesn't
Expect Approval
At This Session
BY the Associated Press

Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat
OF Wyoming, called today for an
immediate excess profits tax based
on average corporation profits fo1
the 1947-49 period.
Senator O'Mahoney. chairman
of the Joint Economic Committee
said he would offer that proposal
as an amendment to the SIS billion
tax bill asked by President Tru-
man to help finance the Korean
campaign and an expanded mill
tary program.
Chairman George, Democrat, of
Georgia, said the Senate Finance
Committee will start work on
the Presidents recommendations
Wednesday. He said he doesn't
expect approval of an excess
profits tax at this time, but added
that one is almost certain to be
enacted eventually.
An excess profits tax sets a
legal limit on profits, with every
thing above that going to the
Federal Treasury.
Based on World War II Law.
In his message, Mr.. Truman
urged higher income levies on cor
porationS and individuals and the
plugging of some tax loopholes. He
left the question of the excess
profits tax for later consideration.
But Senator OMahoney said in
q statement that many members
OF Congress are convinced that the
heavy Government outlays result
ing from the Korean war should
not become the means by which
huge war profits can be reaped on
the home front"
He said he had found similar
sentiment among business leaders.
Senator O'Mahoney said his
amendment is patterned after the
World War II law, except that it
has a new rate schedule and uses
profits in the 1947-49 period in
stead of the 1859 period as the
basis for figuring the tax.
Profits at AH-Time High.
Because corporate profits dur
ing the postwar period have
been running at an aLl-time high
level" Senator O'Mahoney said,
his amendment would use rs per
cent of the average profits for
1947, 1948 and 1949 as the base.
Excess profits net income would
be divided into two brackets, with
tax rate of rs per cent imposed
on one and 100 per cent on the
other.
BY providing a specific exemp-
ton of $4,000 and step scale
in the tax rate, Senator O'Mah-
oney said, his amendment is de-
signed "to avoid too heavy a levy
in the case of small and growing
businesses, as well as on those
which may have had low profits
In the base period"
Senator George told reporter
staff studies on the excess tax
subject likely will get under way
in November for action by Con-
gresS in 1851.

TIES THAT BIND
BABETTE TROCHE'

A teacher writes to her pupils:
Dear Students:
Soon we will meet again in the
Railways and classrooms of Carver
High. I have much to tell you, and
i am anxious to hear about how
you spent your vacations.
Since I saw you last, I've spent
many hours thinking about how I
can serve you best. 1 have made
many errors in my trying to aid
you to grow into that calm, self
reliant, thoughtful adult that will
meet with the need of our atomic
age. I trust that the good I've done
for you far overshadows the er-
rors I've made.
In a clearer, palmer, and simp-
ler manner this year we must exert
all our power to grow in our
understanding of each other. Where
there is understanding there can
be love and peace I have discovered
that love overcomes fear, and frees
one to be himself.
Through our planning and work
ing together we can give of our
selves without trying to enforce
our will or improve our virtues

N0vY Approves
1000 Housir1U
Units For CITY
Noa0 Up To Sixth
NapnL District
To Execute Plan

The United States Navy De-
partment has approved of the
construction of about 1000 hous-
ing units in the Key West Naval
Base area, according to official
word received today by Navy Of
ficerS here.
Although the Navy has APP
proved of the schedule of new
homes, it is now up to the Sixth
Naval District at Charleston S. c.
to execute the plans and to let
the contracts for the actual work
to be done in Key West.
The Naval Base here recon-
mended three sites for the hous-
ing units here. They are the
DredgeT's Key site which is off to
the north of Roosevelt boulevard;
the old Army Barracks on White
street, and in the Salt Pond area
of the city.
1t IS presumed the area in the
Salt Pond area is in the old Army
Base at the southern end of White
street.
Charleston Public Works De-
partment will have to receive
bids from various contractors for
the construction of the homes.
Roughly the estimated cost of
the work to be done in Key West
is several million dollars.
1t is known the Key West Ma
val Base has been working on the
plans for the homes for some
time. The Key West Citizen some
time ago carried a story to the eff
feet that approximately 1000
homes would be constructed for
local Navy officers and enlisted
men.
AT the time. however, it was
said the Naval Base had recon-
mended that some of the homes
should be built at the Naval Air
Station, Boca Chica. Now it seems
the Navy has recommended the
Salt Pond area.
1t is estimated that about $50
of the homes will be constructed
in the old Army Barracks. The
old Army buildings are to be torn
down and new homes built there.
There is a great need for the
1000 homes here. The Naval Base
is reported to have about 1900
applications for homes from
among the Navy officers and en-
listed men. MANY of the men on
duty would bring their wives and
families if they could find suita-
bic homes for them.
