rs Blood Donors
A Day Is Record
For Plain City

Plain City has given the rest
of Madison county a record to
shoot at when it comes to recruit
ing donors for the Blood Bark.
Sponsoring a two day visit Of the
Blood Mobile unit earlier. this
year, that community came up
with more than rs actual donors
each day, a splendid record for
any community, according to of
ficials.
But South Solon and Sedalia,
sponsoring a joint visit in South
Solon, Monday, October %, the
first in that area, have blood in
their eye" and will endeavor to
set another record. The bank will
be in South Solon frcr1 IL to 5 on
Monday, October 29.
The Lions clubs in 10th towns
are assisting the women of the
communities with the recruiting. All
members have pledged themselves
to donate and each to get another
donor.
The Blue Star Mothers Club of
South Solon will serve the lunch.
The following day, Tues
day, October 80, the bank will
move to the other end of the
county and be in West JEFF

tax stamps. Forms will be issued
for providing the government all
the information it wants and for
turning in the monthly tax pay
ments.
This formal material wiz read
like strange mixture of law
books and gambling jalgon.
Then the government will sit
back and wait a short while. The
theory is to give everybody a
chance to comply willingly-just
like the government assumes you
will pay your income tax and
starts checking after it finds that
something is wrong.
Some officials are ir.clinea 10
scoff at the chances of really en-
forcing the law at al. Others
aren't SO sure.
The more optimistic view re-
calls that more than 1000 tax
agents already have been assigned
to special racket squads to look
into income tax returns of known
or suspected racketeers.
This is the type of investigation
that put AL Capone of Chicago
behind bars and more recently
has involved gambler Mickey Co
hen and other underworld figures
The total amount placed in
bets on sports events and lotter-
les has been estimatei by the old
Senate Crime Committee al 20,-
600, 100000 a year. At D flat 10
per cent, that would mean $1,000
100000 in revenue. The official
estimate of income from the
new betting tax is only S4OO, ,OO0,-
600 or 20 per cent of the poten-
tial.

greSs made it clear It does not

More Color Added
Probe OF Internal
Revenue Officers

WASHINGTON --tPl-To allie
cations of corruption and collusion
among the nations tax gatherers
has added some coIorful inforna-
ton on lush vacations, big race
track winnings and multiple
bank accounts.
This data was part of the testi-
mony heard by a House Ways
and Means Subcommittee investi-
eating the operations of the
Bureau Of Internal Revenue.
Reaction to the testimony
given by four of the bureaus
New York agents-was swift.
One Internal Revenue agent.
Mordecai Miller, who claimed in
ability to remember exactly how
many bank accounts he had, was
summarily suspended by internal
Revenue Commissioner John B.
Dunlap.
Another agent-whose financial
worth, by his own estimate, rose
from $2,400 to S25, 500 between
1916 and 1851 on a S5,0O0-S 900
annual salary instructed to
come back before the committee
next Tuesday and try again to
explain.
A third, to the open-mouthed
reaction of lawmakers, volun-
teered the information he did
not report some $1,000 of race
track winnings in his own income
tax return for 1946-49 because
he was afraid it would "jeopar-
die my pension. "
The same agent explained
$1,000 discrepancy in his salary
and his financial outgo for 1850
by $3,400 winning wager in the
daily double at Belmont Park
racetrack. He hit it again this
year for S3,216, he testified with
considerable satisfaction.
Rep. Kean fR-N.J.) wanted TO
kno.y more about the daily double
winnings of agent Ralph P. De-
mayo, a gray-haired veteran of
81 years in the Internal Revenue
Bureau.
Demayo said Royal Bones"
and Blue Man won him S3,216
at Belmont this year. He produc-
ed a photographed copy of a
check from Belmont to prove ii.
But he couldn't remember the
names of the horses who teamed
up to hit the $1,000 jackpot for
HIN last year.
Demayo said he acquired 5000
television set and $1,000 auto
mobile in 1850, Won about $1,000
at the tracks between 1916 and
1949 and kept his 3.400 winn-
ings In $50 bills kicking around
In drawer at home rather than
banking 1t because, as he stated,
MY wife would have found out
about it"
1t was DeMayo who said he
didn't report his winnings before
1850 because I wanted to COM

Son, you're dam-fine beaver.
Don't you want to accept the
honorary vice-chairmanship of our
club, the better-l r-life-for-more
beavers association ?"
Well, 1 won't say gnaw-so
I'll say yes said Alphonse, a
poor but honest beaver. ANY
thing that helps the other guys
I'm for. l had a rough groove to
bite as a kid. You wouldn't guess
it now, would you, looking at the
muscles in my teeth? But I'm
for anything that'll make life
easier for young beavers coming
up-or old beavers going down. )"
So Alphonse Nutria went out
and gnawed and gnawed and
gnawed more pine trees down
until the streams were all dam
med and the forest was full Of
backed up water This water
flooded the ground fodder on
which the deer fed.
That cut down the number of
deer. And certain hunter beings
who like to kill wild things and
carry their horns home to prove
they are human heroes said:
The beavers are building so
many dams they are reducing the
number of deer we can shoot. Ma
ture is therefore out of balance.
We must pass law declaring an
open season on beavers. Then, the
more beavers we shoot, the more
deer will spring UP for us to
shoot later"
And so the law was passed as
a wild life conservation measure.
After two seasons of steady
shooting the ranks of the beavers
were pretty well reduced. They
held council of their elders and
approached Alphonse, still the
eager beaver he had always been
Mr. Nutria," said a wise old
conservative beaver, we want you
to join a new and exclusive club
we have formed. 1t is called the
don't gnaw-a-pine-tree-down-today
association. We offer you the
job of chairman of the board
and the pay is free bark all your
life
Alphonse thought it over and
then said politely, ''gnaw" He
felt he had been put upon the
earth to do his beaver best-and
he went right on gnaWing down
trees.
The weaker beavers could
strip the fallen timber of its rich
edible bark-he didn't care. But
the older beavers decided his
inside reign of plenty increased
their outside danger from human
beings. They wanted to put ma
ture back in balance. And so they
plotted against him, feeling they
had to compromise in order for
their own beaver children to sur
vive.
They sent secret agents out in
a whispering campaign to turn
other beavers against him.
We have found out that in his
youth he was q front beaver for
the Better-L Life-for More Beavers
Association, they said That out
fit would destroy Us all.
Gradually they convinced the
other beavers that Alphonse was
a traitor whose program of pros
perity was only an invitation of

ity that already exists.
Both industry and agriculture
have been very prosperous since
the end of the war, but little of
this prosperity has seeped down
to the working forces" says the
Bell report.
1t urged agricultural wages of
81 to $l.25 a day and industrial
wages chased on the economic cap
acity" of employers to pay. The
Senate bill calls for $1.25 for farm
workers, So for industrial workers.
These rates will take care of
only the lowest-paid; skilled work
ers will have to depend on "collec-
tive bargaining and enlightenment
of management" the committee
reports. 1t says the union move
ment is Confused, haphazard, and
chaotic" but that ga struggling but
honest" group should be given all
encouragement possible because it
"offers the one hope that manage
ment and labor will be able to
work together through trade unions
free from Communist domination" !"
"Even among sincere trade
unionists there is lack of exper-
ience in organizing and in respon-
sible collective bargaining" accord
ing to the report. 1t suggests Am
erican trade unionists help and ad-
wise workers group and that
unions and management work out
an apprenticeship program to pro-
vide skilled workers for the future.
These are some of the recon-
mendations approved by President
Truman as the price of getting US

No Wage Freeze
For Politicians;
That's For You

Chicago OPA)-There's a loop
hole in the wage freeze law that's
no more than a mile or two wide
and politicians all over the coun-
try are stampeding through it like
a herd Of frightened cattle on the
Chisholm Trail.
Under the law, pay boosts may
be handed out to governors, cleo
tive department heads, judges,
sheriffs, and lesser members Of
the great Band of Brothers without
Wage Sterilization Board approval
and without regard to the 10
percent limit.
Here are just a few examples of
how they've taken advantage of
this offer of free lunch at the pub
lie trough:
i Wisconsin's governor will be
raised from $12,500 to S17,500-a
nice 40 percent grab-while Sup
RENE Court Justices will have. to
he satisfied with boost from $12,-
900 to $14,500.
West Virginia's legislature has
passed bill giving the governor
and other elected officials 25 per-
cent more, Is percent to appointed
department heads, and 10 percent
for 'lesser categories" such as
sheriffs, prosecuting attorneys, and
county commissioners.
Arkansas legislators reversed
the trend by voting down proposals
to raise their salaries from $1,000
to $2400 and the governors from
$4,000 to $4,000.
But the Wonder State solons
were in a class all by themselves.
Consider Nebraska, where pending
Legislation would ladle out rises
averaging 20 to 80 percent to every
official on the payroll whose salary
is set by law. The governor would
get $4,000 instead Of $4,000;
supreme court judges, $4,000 in
stead of $500. The secretary of
state, treasurer, auditor, attorney
general and superintendent of
schools have already got theirs
from $4,000 to $4,000.
New York State is taking care of
everyone on the payroll with flat
12h percent, while California is
sticking to the 10 percent figure.
The West Coast state gave fivel
percent in January and is now con-
sidering an additional five percent.
South Dakota has approved 5000
annually for state officials, 5000
for county officials and 10 percent
for all state employees. Minnesota
believe in taking care
of themselves-they've got a bill
in the hopper to raise their pay
from $4,000 to $500 a session (just
a meager rs percent jump)-and
the governor will go from $4,000
to $4,000. The state auditor and
treasurer and secretary would go
from $500 to $4,000.
Nice raises, if you can get them
but you can't because you're
private jerk, not public servant.
