Shortcomings of Kitchen
Can Be Readily Overcome

Here are some of the suggestions
for kitchen planning made by the
University of Illinois:
Avoid an arrangement tn a t
makes the kitchen the main
thoroughfare to the rest Of the
house; traffic should bypass the
working area of the kitchen.
Locate kitchen door openings so
they do not interfere with arrange
ment of kitchen equipment; DO not
have too many doors-good house
plans seldom require more than
two in a kitchen.
Have as many windows as pos
sible without reducing the required
amount of wall cabinets. Windows
above the range are not recon-
mended for reasons of safety and
ease in housekeeping.
Provide adequate space in front
Of cabinets and appliances for pas
sageways and work area. The rec
commended distance between cabi-
nets or appliances opposite each
other is four feet. This is sufficient
for two workers.
Install enough counter to fulfill
both base cabinet storage require
ments and working space require
ments for food preparation and
dishwashing.
Do not have appliances too far
from one another. The distance be-
tween refrigerator and sink should
be from four to seven feet; between
sink and range 4 to 6 feet; between
rang and refrigerator four to nine
feet; the SUI of these distances
should not exceed % feet.
The minimum amount of wall,
exclusive of doors, required for
base cabinets and appliances in a
kitchen using factory-made cabi-
nets and having liberal" storage
facilities is 20 linear feet; for a
medium" kitchen 17h feet; d
Limited" kitchen, Is feet. Four
feet must be added every time the
assembly Of cabinets. appliances,
and counters turns a corner.

Doing Okuy

To the surprise of most observ-
ers, England's so-called "shaky'
Labor government had survived
two major tests of strength in par
Lament.
FOLLOWING the election, in
which Prime Minister Attlee's
Labor party won a bare majority
of parliament seats, it was predict
ed that the victory margin was so
slight that the government might
crumple-that a new election was
practically inevitable.
In the recent test-action on a
Conservative motion to beat down
the cabinets housing program
Attlee made a considerably strong
er showing than on a previous issue.
THE LABOR VICTORY was
made possible by support from the
Liberal faction, a development at
odds with popular speculation as to
where the Liberals would 60 in
parliamentary tests. Many top po-
litical observers had predicted that
the Liberals would stand with the
Conservatives against Attlee's
broad program of Naturalization
Observation-Disclosures, but clos
err observers of the British political
scene had pooh-poohed the idea
that the Liberals would ever be
found standing with the Conserva-
tives. And, apparently, these prog
nosticators were correct.
While it had appeared that the
Labor forces were to trim down
their naturalization program be-
of the close election result,
these new victories might reshape
the pattern of intent. For example,
following triumph on the housing
issue, Health Minister Bevan,
whose ministry administers the
housing program, declared
1.-The governments program will be
persisted in"

ELECTIONS:
Certainty & Doubt

A graphic contrast between
choices by celebrates in Commu-
mist and other countries was pro-
vided in the Russian and Belgian
elections. In Russia, there was no
choice.
Premier Stain was the Number l
candidate of the Soviets, and he
had no opposition. AS head of the
Communist ticket, he was shooting
for as nearly 100 per cent of the
vote as possible-with no mo"
votes to come.
Stain and associates campaigned
on a pledge of following a policy of
peace. The Russians elected a new
parliament of 1902 members.
IN BELGIUM the situation was
quite different. The issue was:
Should King Leopold III be returned
to the throne? Fifty-seven per cent
of the voters said he should, a fact
which must have been comforting
to Leopold, inasmuch as he had
vowed to abdicate unless he re-
ceived SIS per cent of the vote.
However, the victory at the polls
didn't mean Leopold was back on
the throne. Parliament would have
the last word, as the election was
only advisory-being designed to
show parliament how the people
felt about Leopold. The election was
tumultuous, with rioting and fight
ing marking the balloting.
LEOPOLD had drawn the i'll will
of millions of Belgians because of
his capitulation to the Germans in
World War II, although his support
ers pointed out there was little else
he could have done.
The cruz of the election was some
ISL, 900 invalidated ballots. If these
were counted, the result would give
Leopold only 81 per cent of the
votes and he would have to act on
his pledge of abdication if he failed
to receive the SIS per cent he had
mentioned.

Montana Taxpayers Slow in Paying 1919
State Income Tax, Says Equalization Board
April Is Dead Line for Filing Report

More than $4,000 Montana tax.
payers have filed returns since
January l on which they have paic
more than $1,100, 100000, so states
John A. Mathews, chairman, San
GOA and C. A. Robinson, members
of the board of equalization. This
means that less than one-third OF
the tax has been paid. The deadline
is rapidly approaching. The last
day for filing 1949 returns with
out penalty is April 10.
The board points out that the
most frequent mistake in filing re-
turns is failure to sign checks.
Other taxpayers make checks pay
able to the collector of internal
revenue instead OF the state treas
urer. Some checks, money orders,
bank drafts and postal notes are
drawn for more than the tax,
which is shown due on the return
and some are for less than the tax.
The income tax department is re-
ceiving many remittanceS which
are intended for the collector of
internal revenue in payment of
federal income tax. The remittance
which is intended to pay state in
come tax is mailed to the collector.
Another frequent error is transpo-
sition of figures. The written por-
ton will be for one amount and the
figures another.
To correct all of these defective
remittances is a substantial burden
on the cashiers office and requires
time. If these errors occur at or
near the closing date for the pay
ment of the tax, April Is, the re-
turn may become involved with
penalties. This is one important
reason why the returns should be
filed early.
The most frequent question COM
ing to the board is from taxpayers
who want to know if medical ex-
pense is ~deductible, and if not, why
not. Medical, dental, hospital and
health insurance premiums are not
deductible in state returns. 1t re-
quired an act of congress to write
this provision into the federal sta
tute. This provision is relatively
new in the federal law. 1t was
adopted in 1912 at the time the
pay-as-you-go plan was adopted
and the present law, personal ex-
emption credit and high tax rates
became effective. No similar law
has been adopted by the state leg
islature.
Much real estate has changed
hands in recent years, most of
which has been sold at a profit. If
it has been held for more than six
months the federal law taxes only
so per cent of this profit. The
state law contains no similar pro-
vision. Most taxpayers file their
federal returns before they file
their state returns and many make
the mistake of carrying this so per
cent provision over into their state
returns and compute their tax on
only half of the profit.
The federal law contains a SINH
lar so per cent provision in taxing
the profits on the sale of breeding
stock. The state law contains no
such provision. Under the state
law all the profits on the sale of
livestock are 100 per cent taxable.
Considerable confusion has been

TAX CUTS:
A Problem

Cynical observers of congression-
al tax-cut maneuvering might be
forgiven a $50 WHAT" reaction to
announcement that while Demo-
Gratis had thrown out President
Humans limitations on excise
tax slashes, they promised to dig
up other revenue to balance the
losses.
TO THE AVERAGE taxpayer
that must seem to be a senseless
business. What was the point in
abolishing one type of taxes and
levying another? Excise taxes af-
fected almost every one in the ma
ton, and the substitute for a slash
there-tightening up of tax loop
holes and such other taxes as may
be deemed feasible''-would most
likely affect a majority of taxpay-
erS.
That ''other such taxes as may
be deemed feasible" was the
clincher that cut off any relief tax
payers might obtain through a
slash in the excise levies.
President Truman has threatened
to veto the excise tax cut if the
loss of this revenue is not balanced
by other sources. With develop
ments as they were, it appeared
certain that there would be no ex-
else tax reductions before July /.

dent Truman, declared that he, a:
a private citizen. sis n of the
best. if not the best paid man il
the world today"
Figures lending themselves tc
many articles, the gentleman is
suing that statement, Rep. Roy o,
Woodruff of Michigan figured il
out this way:
A PRIVATE CITIZEN to match
the standard of living now enjoyed
by the President would need an in
come of three to three and a half
million dollars a year.
Mr.. Truman has take-home pay
of $1,000 a year out of his salary,
$50, 900 of which is tax-free.
He has AZ facilities for travel,
including 35 automobiles, airplanes,
his own yacht. the Williamsburg,
a private Pullman car and "vaca-
ton retreats" in Key West, Fla,
and Maryland.
He has an estimated staff of SOS
persons at an annual cost of ST.
491, $40. He has a travel allowance
of $685. 900 to $40, 1000.
Then Representative Woodruff
listed the costs of the yacht, the
Presidents personal plane, his
private railroad car, a destroyer
escort for the yacht. secret service
and White House guards, White
House salary costs for a staff of
225.
THEN said Representative Wood
ruff: by comparison, President
Roosevelt in 1945 had a staff Of
SO costing only S256, 431 and Presi-
dent Hoover's staff totaled 81 at a
salary bill of S127, 200. Present
White House salary costs, he said,
amount to 1898, 254 annually.
That was an impressive list Of
conveniences and privileges and

many instances the best that an
Indian Potentate could boast. Yet,

BRITAIN:
Another Crisis

Great Britain truly had fallen on
evil times. Barely escaping n
financial crisis after another, the
word was that the nation was facing
another financial-economic crisis in
195O-just as she did in 1949 and
1948.
THE DAY had passed when Amer
leans could say to such news: $50
what-what has that got to do with
us?" For the fact was that because
of U.S.-British economic-financial
ties stemming from the early Frank
lin D. Roosevelt era, whatever hap
pened to Britain economically or
financially could be expected to hap
pen to the us.
The reason was that in any such
crisis there was no one but the us.
to whom the British could turn for
help.
The problem, as British leaders
viewed it, was that although Brit
aims production is about as high as
it can go in the near future, it does
not yield enough exportable goods
to meet pressing British problems.
ONE OF THESE is the need to
increase sales to the United States
to earn more dollars and solve Brit
aims current inability to pay for the
goods she must get from the United
States.
Another is conflicting pressure or
Britain to ship goods to other credi-
tors as a means of paying or huge
debts acquired in wartime and
since.
Possible solutions included nego-
tiations with creditors to ease
pressure on old debts and-as was
inevitable and neutrality-suspicious.

Ripped Again

Tall, debonair Dean Acheson,

fire again. He was charged, among
other accusations, with trying to
"shift the blame" in defending the
alleged loyalty-suspect cases Sen
ator Mccarthy (R., Wis., has been
airing on capitol hill.
SINCE ACHESON made his now
famous remark that IT will not
turn my back on Alger Hiss" fol-
lowing the latter's conviction Of
perjury in question with treason
charges, Acheson has been more or
less on the pan as accusers of the
state department deliver their verb
al blasts.
This time, Mccarthy charged
three key state department aides
as having shown Communist symp-
athies and demanded investigation
of a navy civilian scientist whom
he described as working on "top-
most defense secrets"
The charge that the state depart
ment harbors men and women of
Communist leanings or sympathies
is not a new one. 1t has been crop
ping up for the past several years,
and on each occasion the depart
ment Indignantly rushes forth with
a denial.
THAT'S NOT SURPRISING for
certainly neither Senator Mccarthy
nor anyone else expected the state
department would admit such a
condition existed, even if it did
exist. To do so would admit either
a lack of proper security efforts on
the part of the department, or a
willingness to wink at any employ
ee's loyalty if that employee hap
pened to "stand in right" with the
proper officials.

COAL:
The 'Poyoff

The "payoff" in the recent coal
strike settlement was coming more
quickly than was usually the case
in the settling of these disputes. The
cost to the consumer of John l..

and his union was to be felt very
soon.

form of a statement by spokesman

Is now in preparation a 10 to 40
cents a ton increase on the price
of coal.
When the United Mine Workers
long strike against the industry
was settled recently, operators
forecast a rise in prices.
However, discussion of the price
hike indicated there would be no
blanket increase. Rather, the boost
would vary according to the finan-
cial situation and contract COM
mitments of individual firms.
One official was quoted as say
ing:
'If it (the increase) only amounts
to 10 cents a ton, the retailer
should be able to absorb it. But If
1t goes any higher, it will affect
the price of coal to the consumer"

could u an added cost Of 10
