Estimates put together from 65

belief that Eisenhower should take
Stevenson's measure by 5000
votes whereas Dewey edged out
Truman by $1,000 in 194S. That's
on the assumption that the tota
vote this year will be about the
same as the 6,131 900 ballos cast
in 1913 for the Republican, Dem
Ocratic and Progressive Party
candidates Actually, the vote may
be considerably larger than four
years ago.
OF 65 papers in the New York
survey, 40 are for Eisenhower, five
for Stevenson and II uncommitted.

NOTES
BY BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD R--What do GIs
in Korea want most in the enter
tainment field?
Girls" reports william Holden,
home from putting that question
to thousands of soldiers in Korea.
He made a 25-day trip on behalf
of the Hollywood Co-ordinating
Committee, which supplies talent
for overseas trips.
There's no doubt about it." he
continued, "the thing the boys
want to see most are girls. Audrey
Totter is a great favorite over
there.
"And if Marilyn Monroe would
go across, the war would be over.
She is absolutely the No. l girl
over there. Have they got any of
her calendar pictures? You see
them everywhere, from small,
pocket-size to huge, lfe-size pic
lures. Doris Day is another great
favorite, but in a different way.
"But the need isn't only for pin
up girls. Mature women like Irene
Dunno, Rosalind Russell and Clau-
dette Colbert would do a great job
over there. They would bring a
bit of home to the boys"
In two weeks in Korea, Holden
visited every group possible, from
corps to platoon. He Travelled by
every means. from jeep to hell
copter to hitch-hiking. He visited
some artillery units that had to in
terrupt their conversations to fire
a few rounds at the nearby enc
my. He always talked to the SOL
dierS without having officers pres
ent, figuring he would get the full
story that way.
Aside from girls, he discovered
that the G. Is wanted:
/. Comedians. but they realize
that there are only about 10 top
comics and many of them have
commitments that prevent Korea
trips"
2. Music. They'd be crazy for
small CONDOS and singers like Pat
Ii Page, Kay Starr and Rosemary
Clooney."
3. Western music. ''No matter
how corny, they like it,"
4, Familiar faces. Fellows like
Edward G. Robinson or Jimmy
Cagney would make a great hit.
So would Charles Laughton read
ing the Bible"
Interest in movie names was
high. Holden added, since films
are the chief source of entertain
ment The soldiers get four films
a week, most Of them new re-
leases. Admission charge is three
cents a head. and the monthly
film attendance among Allied fore
es amounts 10 ! 800, 900.
What kind of pictures do they
like?
Entertainment" he replied.
The kind Of pictures this indus
try was based upon. They like
westerns and musicals. but they
have no interest in modern prob.
lem dramas. They'll walk out Of
a picture about whether = young
couple will get a divorce They
won't 20 see Humphrey Bogsrt as
a psychological killer. but they'll
love him in something escapis;
Like The African Queen
Ho,tca said he found morale
generally high. especially near the
front, where there IS something

olood lines in one of the best
breeds the country affords"
Mr.. Moore is one of the top
Polled Hereford men in the
country. Circle M Polled Here
fords breeding stock has gone to
Uruguay, Argentina, Jamaica,
Australia, South Africa, New
leland and Canada.
According to Mr.. Moore, the
policy of the Circle M breeding
program is: first, to. retain the
polled characteristic; second to
improve the CMR Polled Here
fords as fast as possible by
breeding the best in Circle M
females to the best in Circle M
bulls; and third, to remove the
guesswork and uncertainties so
the carrying-on capacity can be
made as strong as possible.
The ranch broke four of its
own worlds records at its ninth
annual sale in 1850. Records are:
highest average for any polled
sale in the nation, highest bull
average for any polled sale in
the nation, highest female aver
age for any polled sale in the
nation, and highest gross receipts
for any polled sale in the nation.
In l947 Mr.. Moore was named
to the board of directors of the
Memphis Federal Reserve Bank
on which he is still serving. For
a number of years he served on

Rural Fire Losses
Show Safety Need
More Attention Should Be Paid To
Safety Precautions

Rural fire losses in Sussex Coun-
ty during 1850 emphasizes the need
for more attention to safety pre-
cautions on the farm and in farm
homes, according to William H.
Henderson, County Agent.
Citing the report of the Sussex
County Fire Recorder for 1850, Mr..
Henderson pointed out that losses
from fires in rural areas amounted
to 445,423.00. Only a part Of this
loss was covered by insurance.
The types and number of fires
listed in the recorders report was
as follows: Mercantile, 80; Dwell
ings, 1853; Chimney. 1871; Auto, So;
Grass. 141; Woods, 80; Chicken
Houses, %; Miscellaneous, 81. To-
tai, 7S1.
Nine deaths were caused by fire
in the county during 1850. This in
itself is reason enough for devot-
ing more attention to a fire preven-
tiOn program.
A good New Years Resolution
for all farm families to make for
1852 may be I'VE pledge ourselves
to be alert for fire hazards in our
home and on our farm and remove
them as promptly as possible when
ever found"

Income Levy Seven Times
Higher In 1850 Than
In 1899, Foundation Re-
ports.

Delaware's revenue from individ.
ual income taxes was nearly seven
times as high in the fiscal yeal
ended in 1850 as it was in the fiscal
year ended in 1889. according To
statistics presented in a study Ot
major state taxes. 1889 and 1850
made by the Tax Foundation. q
private non profit research organi-
zatiOn.
The study was concerned with
the sales tax, income taxes. motor
tueI taxes. tobacco taxes, alcoholic
beverage excise taxes and motor
vehicle taxes of the states II
reached the conclusion that the re-
cent history of state sales taxes
should not deter Congress from
considering a federal sales tax in
lts search for new revenue sources
Inc sales tax is the only one of
the seven types of taxes studied
which the federal government does
not already use.
Delaware has no sales tax. At
the end of 1850 total of % states
mad such taxes.
According to the study. Della
wares individual income tax col
lections amounted to about S1O85.-
OOO in the 1899 fiscal year and to
$7'S79'OOO in the 1850 fiscal year.
During that time the rates of the
income tax here were increased.
and since the end of the period
studied have been reduced to the
1899 rates. The study points ont
that the rise in personal income,
as we'll as changes in rates. have
resulted in the increase in income
tax collections bv the states.
