House Trailer Tax
Effective April 1

Effective April l, a tax will be
levied on all house trailers in Ohio.
In each county the tax is due and
payable to the auditor of the county
in which the trailer is located at the
time of application for registration.
The tax is due and payable i'm
mediately upon occupancy for human
habitation, unless the trailer bears
a license plate issued by state
other than Ohio.
County Auditor Russell L. Hire
has announced the following tax
schedule; S18 if application is made
between April l and July 1; $3.50
if application is made between July
/ and October /; SO if application
is made between October l and jan
uary 1; $3.50 if application is made
between Jan. l and April l. 1852.
If licensed in a state other than
Ohio, the trailer is exempt from the
Ohio tax for not more than 80 days
in any 12-month period, provided no
person occupying the trailer is en-
ployed in Ohio. If a person occupy
ing a trailer bearing another states
license plate accepts employment in
Ohio, the exemption ceases 30 days
from the date of employment.
The tax is due and payable at the
time of the filing of application for
registration. In effect, the trailer

due-whether application for regis
tration has or has not been filed-a
penalty of $5 will be added to the
amount of the tax.

Rigid Segregati ton"
Practiced In X Orea

While admitting that there were
q few mixed Army units on the
Korean battlefront, he asserted
that the general practice was one
of rigid segregation" He ac-
cused the commander Of the Unit
ed Nations forces of failing to
implement the Presidents order
pointing the elimination of segre-
cation in the armed services.
He said that "the rule of segre-
cation was not elaringly apparent
at the headquarters of the Far
East Command, to which mo Ne
groes are assigned" He said this
contrasted sharply with the Air
Forces policy.
The difficulties in Korea, Mr..
Marshall said, stem directly. He
told of the unequal penalties melted
out to Negro CTS in comparison
with those given white soldiers.
In the Air Force and other mixed
units, he said, there were no in
stances of the unfair courts-mar-
tial which he found in the Army.
"As long as we have racial seq
regation in the Army we will have
the type of injustice of which
these courts-martial are typical,
Mr.. Marshall concluded.
Walter White. executive secre-
tary of the NAACP, appealed for

anyhow if you like well-made

interrupted Journey" is one OF
a rare class of motion pictures,
actually. Almost nothing can be
told to you about it without taking
the edge off of it. It's full of sur
priSes. 1t goes along telling an en-
crossing tale for about so minutes
and seems to have reached a point
beyond which it cannot go, then
it starts turning on surprise
climaxeS.
The Interrupted Journey
starts in London with the
struggling young writer Orchard
Todd barging off in the direction
of Plymouth with a publishers
wife. This doll is impersonated by
Christine Norden so. though a
struggling young writer would be
hard put to support a superf1uity
of women. this trip does seem to be
plausible If not precisely necessary.
1t seems less plausible when it
turns out the wife he is deserting
Is Valerie Hobson, who is not the
