WASHINGTON (LPA) - The
House-Senate conference CO M
mittee on the bill to boost in
come taxes finally h e d
agreement late Sept. 20. Both
chambers were expected to ap-
prove the measure Sept. %.
Here is how the bill shapes up.
Personal income taxes will
rise Oct. 1. Chances are your
present tax is about Is per cent.
If so, you'll soon be paying
closer to 20 per cent. BY this
increase, Congress expects to
realize an extra S2,750,000, 900
or perhaps SO, 900 600, 900.
Corporation tax increases will
be applied retroactiviely to July
/. are expected to amount to an
extra 81, 500, 000, 900. There's nc
excess profits tax yet. But Con-
gress is committed to get to
work on one in November.
The conferees eliminated a
couple of the Senate provisions
allowing persons with big in
comes to duck high taxes. The
'1oophole" legalizing phony
family partnerships was toss
ed out. Also junked as a clause
permitting owners of oil and
number of other mineral re-
sources to pay relatively Il "
capital gains or income taxes
from leases instead of income
taxes.
The ~conferees agreed to tax
the income from unrelated
businesses owned by charitable
institutions and educational or
PLANTATIONS. In addition, the con
ferees approved a 10 per CEN
manufacturers excise tax or
television receivers and h o m {
freezer units, and voted to curl
certain security transaction
which have been used to keeI
taxes down.
At one point, the conferee'
okayed a 10 per cent withhold
ing tax on all corporate divi'
dends, but later rejected it. Ac'
cording to estimates, the Bureau

of Internal Revenue loses $780,.
600, 900, 900 a year because many
a dividend check is never re-
ported on income tax returns.
Plenty of loopholes r e m a ! n
however, some of them new
which originated in the Senate
and some of them longstandine
including the oil depletion al
lowance. One hole that was
the one by which life insurance
companies have been escaping
income taxes. The conferees APP
proved a provision taxing the
insurance Trims for 1949 ano
1850 but scratched an amend
ment taxing them back through
1947. About $122, 900 900 would
be recovered from insurance
companies, IL was believed.

Lawyers Union
Wants Trust Curhs
For Labor Unions

WASHINGTON (LPA) The
Sherman antitrust a C t should
apply to labor unions because
they are ''monopolistic by ma
ture," according to the lawyers
union - the American Bar AS
ISOLATION.
In convention here the law
yers d e C i d e d "some restraint
should be imposed on the mono
polistic power of labor unions
when such power is exercised to
imperil tn e national welfare"
They sighed over the fact that
"injunctions were not effective
in stopping critical strikes"
The lawyers recommended
also that President Truman sign
the anti-subversive bill, despite
the general opinion that it is in
m a n y respects unconstitutional
and unenforceable.
The lawyers also complained
that too many Democrats were
appointed to federal ~judgeship.
They conveniently overlooked
the situation when the Republic
cans controlled the Administra-
ton, and they got their figures
wrong, too. The facts are: OF the
308 federal judges today, "a or
81 per cent, r Republicans. In
March 1888, when Hoover step
ped out, there were 81 Demo-
crat judges of the 237 total, or
rs per C t. In 1921, w h e n
Woodrow Wilson left e,
there were 83 Republicans on
the bench and 70 Democrats. OF
the 214 appointments between
1921 and 1928, there were 20
Democrats, two whose affilia-
ton was not known, the rest
were Republicans.

applicable to either sales or
commercial rentals.
In his Sept. 9 speech after in
voking the Defense Production
Act. President Truman declared
that ''existing rent law is inade-
quate to meet the present situa-
ton and should be improved"
The President did not spell out
what he wanted Congress to do,
but he and Woods are said to
see eye-to-eye. Woods made his
idea known to the Bureau of the
Budget.
At present, about 100000
residential units are under con-
troll. At the wartime peak, there
we're lids on the rents of 49,
000, 900 units.
The current law went into eff
feet July /, Since then, 81 COM
munities have acted to decon-
troll themselves, but another 101
have decided to retain controls
after Dec. 81. They would 60 off
automatically at that time in the
absence of positive action. Los
Angeles controls, which the city
council tried to remove, are still
in effect pending a court de-
cision.
Meanwhile, in Salt Lake City,
the annual convention of the
National Apartment Owners As
ISOLATION was told that the rent
al industry ought to form "a
powerful trade association" to
protect property owners. Wash
ington observers who have
watched the free spending "Real
Estate Lobby" in action snicker-
ed. The present "trade associa-<
ton" was strong enough, the0
figured. But they also expected
moves for new rent control leg
islation to gain momentum.

came In Korea, Taft was right In
there, accusing the administra-
ton of being asleep at the
switch.
Taft's hardest battles In the
Senate have been either to get
more privileges for the "fat boys
of Wall Street" or to oppose
some modest benefit for the peo-
pie, Reuther said.
When the bill came up to give
an extra home allowance to para
lyZed veterans, who need special
construction In their homes to
take care Of their unfortunate
pro m S, Taft was In there
fighting against 1t.
When a bill was introduced to
provide hot lunches for school
children in e where they
need them, Taft was right in
there fighting against that.
Reuther told his audience that
what they won at the bargaining
table Taft took away In his tax
bills.
THAT is why, if you want your
ice box to be full of good food,
you will have to see to it that
the ballot box Is full of good
votes" he said.
He discussed the new tax bill,
which increases the taxes on
everyone to support the new de-
Tense measures.
"They passed that bill increas-
ing your tax load, and mine, and
no one objects to that. We need
the money, and 1t has to come
from our taxes.
"But when the time came to
make the sacrifices equal - to
pass an excess profits tax-who
do you suppose was right down
there in Washington fighting to
protect the fat boys again?
You're right.
Robert Alphonso Taft"
Taft can be beaten, Reuther
said. In spite of the millions that
are being spent to re-elect him
millions from industralists-
hundredes of thousands from a
single industry-Taft can be sent
back to f'private law practice"
by the citizens If they vote.
Reuther pointed out that Taft
was elected by a vote of 80 per
cent of the eligible voters. Brick
err he added was last elected by
only "a per cent.
Taft Is afraid of a big VOTE"
Reuther said, because he knows
that a big vote will defeat him.
Calling Taft. once more, a
"roadblock on the path of prog
ress," Reuther exhorted his audi
ence to get out and work as they
have never worked before to
send Joseph T. Ferguson to the
United States Senate and defeat
Taft.

is that the appointment strength
ems Secretary of State Dean
Acheson's hand. In other words,
the senator's dislike for Ache
son is stronger than his like for
his country.
l don't think br'er Taft would
60 so far as to say that Marshall
as defense secretary would be
a liability o his country.
There could be no be e r
choice for the job than Marshall.
He stands alone, and one of the
great things President Truman
ever did was to label him public
ly as the finest American.
Who did more than anyone
else to make this country vic
torious in World War l? Mar
shall.
Who saw the needs and fought
with h a politicians to get
them? Marshall.
One of these days - it may
not come until a Russian throws
a hand grenade through his liv-
ing room window-Sen. Taft is
going to realize that the United
States is now fighting for sur
vival, not Ohio votes.

Bargain
Housewife Is
Termed sJewel'

The bargain-hunting housewife has
long been due for praises, and she
is finally getting them. An au-
thority on applied economy de-
clares that she is jewel-not only
to her husband-but also to Uncle
Sam.
Her shrewd shopping methods
may appear nerve-racking to the
average male, but they make big
contribution to both family and ma
tional economy, according to Stew
art B. Hamblen, consultant in ap-
piled economy for the American
Association of Colleges for Teacher
Education, New York City.
The nation needs more thrifty
buyers, says Hamblen, who recon-
mends careful consideration of
every purchase-whether it is a
tube of toothpaste or ten-room
house. In an article for the new
World Book Encyclopedia, he asks
that buying principles be made a
part of the school curriculum.
Careful spending, he explains, is
bused on systematic study. Edu-
cation is not adequate until it
teaches basic shopping rules and
the use of information services de-
signed to help the consumer. Only
through this knowledge of how to
make the most of our consumer
dollar may we become happy and
adjusted in our modern industrial
-1;1%x, oIdc uonoh1on
It is q wise housewife who, know
ing this, looks for happiness on the
bargain counter.

Getting down to business, there
isn't much happening, since most
of the boys are gone. Our spot
light is cleaning on perfect
couple, Jewel Clark and Roy
Dunbar. What was happening at
Lionel Hampton's dance? James
Echolds and Troycilla were
cooling. What happened to Doris
Wesson? Who J. is the fine guy
who has captured the heart of
cute little Doretha Goode, they
have been turning on some pow

It seems like Willie Kemp did
use his brains, and seemed to be
sticking around. Looks like C.. L.

not been seen together lately.
What happened, "Bat?" Who is

quite some time. Is it because
of his tonSils, "Jean?" Denotra

Could it be because of William

OF
All
Things!
By E. R. B.

Xenophon, with his ragged
Greeks, cut his way through the
ancient Persian empire; Magell-
an sailed around the world; Ma
poleon scaled the Alps; and Lord
Nelson chased the French fleet
twice across the sea. Deputy
sheriffs Newberry and Dotson
last week carved their names
among these immortals when
they forged a way through the
Breaks and around the High
NarroWs to Potter Flats.
#M#
The story of that Journey real
ly begins night or so before
when two young citizens of Pot
ter Flats passed down the rail
road between Tom Bottom and
the State Line Tunnel. Behind
them was left some wreckage of
railway property, such as derail-
ed cars, ruined telephone box,
a broken switch, and deflected
signals. 1t hasn't been proved be-
fore a court that the two resi-
dents of Potter Flats were gull
ty of the desolation. A Clinch-
field Railroad dick, however, adj
ded two and two, getting some
numbr or other as the sum, got
some legal papers charging them
with the havoc and destruction.
These papers came to the deputy
sheriffs for execution.
#%#
They were dog-t tired when
they got them; no one but a dep
uty sheriff can understand fully
the exhausting nature of that call
ing and profession. Although 1t
was late in the day, they set out,
weary but determined, to keep a
special appointment with special
railway agents in Elkhorn City.
After passing Haysi, the found
the going more rugged. Their tir
ed limbs ached as they jounced
up Bartlick and up Camp Branch.
They thought that Elzhorn City
was just beyond the Flat Woods,
somewhere about Grassy. But
when they got down on that
creek with the pleasant sounding
name, they found that their way
had just begun to jolt. They steer
ed through seven almost endless
and always twisting and bump
ing miles until at last the lights
of the little Kentucky town shone

The railway dicks had lined up
the entire police force of the
town, consisting of a policeman
and constable, to lead the way
and make the raid seem legal. The
gallant half-dozen set out up the
railroad track that wound its way
between the deep cavern walls,
and not without a few parked
shins, slogged into the hamlet OF
Potter Flats. The people had gone
to their rest, and no alarm was
raised. With due caution, the Of

the six houses in the settlement,
and in the second they found the
two youths for whom they were
searching, both fast asleep. They

what might have happened had
