" SAYS.

Much is being said about the
brotherhood of man" i'm our
churches, lodges, and often in
informal group discussions. Re-
gardless of religious preferences,
mankind during lucid intervals
tends to recognize the necessity
for promotion of the spirit of
brotherhood in all areas of hu-
man activities.
AS a man understands broth
erhOOd and acts i'm conformity
with its demands, he will always
work for human dignity and
public welfare. At no time will
he be a dividing and distracting
force. In his community he will
be good citizen who knows
that the community has a right
to demand many sacrifices on
the part of its people.
Appreciating the full impact
of brotherhood, each of us will
strive to uphold and maintain
the principles of our country.
We must oppose every mflu-
ence that makes for it's degrade
ton and division. We will every
where use our efforts to break
down racial antipathy, religious
differences, and class hatred. We
must everywhere and always
oppose war, fanaticism, national
jealOusies and unjust ambitions,
for these are the base intrigues
of selfish and blind statesmen.
We must, of course, always OPP
pose any public cOnnivance in
public vices.
The brotherhood of m an,
which is q fundamental teach
ing of Christian philosophy, is
the f o u n d a tiOn upon which
Americanism must be built.
Therein is to be found our job
as sensible citizens of a great
nation. ..4

and personal tax problems in the school district.
 Assessment forms have not been sent this year to persons on the district tax assessment roll be- cause of poor returns experienced last year. The tax assessory says assessment of properties is being made on the same basis as last year plus additions if the property owners do not report to his of flee to report changes. The 1852 tax roll is now being made up, and tax notices will be in the mail in a few weeks.

Personal Properly
 Owners Advised 10 File Tax Return Now

A recent :-uiing by Judge George Folta in Third District Court regarding obligations of persons within the city of Anch- orage to pay taxes on personal property applies also to persons living within the Palmer School District, the school tax accessor, William Head, pointed out this week.
 Names of these taxpayers who own only automobiles, furniture and other items of personal prop erty do not apear on many lists. They may not be notified direct ly. The tax assessor points out, however, that all persons who fail to make a personal property tax return and pay personal property taxes are liable not only for the amount of the taxes plus penalties and interest, but also for payment of fine upon conviction for failure to file.
 The assessor requested again this week that all persons who have resided within the Palmer School District prior to March 15 of this year and who own only personal property to call or write and assessment forms will be given them.
 It is felt that many persons are reluctant to file such returns and pay personal property tax be- cause they do not understand the purpose for which they're asked to pay the tax. Every dollar of tax collected on both real and personal property within the Pal mer School District is spent di- rectly for operation of the local school-or schools, as the case may be soon.
 The School Board must assess and collect this tax, as the Ter ritorial law requires, to supple ment the Territorial grants for education. The Territorial share amounts to 75 percent of most of the operational costs. The re- maining 25 percent plus 100 per cent of other operational costs must be paid for out of real and personal taxes collected within the school district.
 The assessor will gladly CO., operate with anyone needing in formation help relative to real

|Smathers Sees Action
On New Election Plan
By the Assoeio,ed Press

Senator Smathers, Democrat,
of Florida. said yesterday he has
been promised an early hearing
before the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee on his proposed major
changes in methods of nominat-
ing and electing Presidents.
Senator Smathers said he has
resolutions ready for introduction
in the Senate when Congress re-
convenes next month proposing
amendments to:
/. Nominate presidential can
|didates by. simultaneous primary
elections in every State.
2. Abolish the present electoral
college system which gives a
presidential candidate all of the
electoral votes of any State in
which he has a majority. Senator
Smathers would divide each
States electoral college votes
among the candidates in propor-
ton to the popular vote polled.
3. Make the Vice President only
a temporary successor to a Presi-
dent who dies in the first two
years of his term. This amend
ment would require a new presi-
dental election at the next gen.
eral election following the Presi-
dents death.
Senator Smathers said Sena-
tor LANCER, Republican, of North
Dakota, who expects to head the
Judiciary Committee, has prom
ised that hearings on the proposals
will be among the early matters
the committee will undertake"

Unemployment Hits
Matinsburg Families
After Big Mill Closes
BY W. H. Shippen
Stor StoFf CoTrespondenf

MARTINsBURG, w. Va, Dec.
25.-The shadow of unemploy-
ment reached into hundreds of
homes here on Christmas Day as
civic leaders fought to save one
of the last big home industries in
this community.
A citizens committee headed
by Mayor Carlton B. Stuckey
planned a mass meeting of Berke-
ley County residents in the next
few days in an effort to soften
the blow of the closing of the
Dunn Woolen Co. mills.
Business leaders here confirmed
reports that an offer to purchase
and reopen the mills has been re-
ceived from a Cincinnati manu-
facturer who stipulated that the
community must support the new
firm by subscribing to a large
amount of stock.
Meanwhile, the three brothers
who have operated the mills since
the death of their father, Thomas
L. Dunn, in 1888, are said to have
definitely ruled themselves out Of
any future operations.
Threw 500 Out of Work.
The closing of the central mill
and it's two nearby branches threw
some 500 men and women out Of
work just before Christmas.
Bankers and merchants describe
the closure as heavy strain on
the economy of a city Of 10000.
The board of directors of the
Chamber of Commerce held an
emergency meeting last night.
1t was decided to call upon Mayor
Stuckey to form the committee
to raise financial backing for the
project. The prospective pur-
chaser is expected to submit a
new proposal Tuesday.
The mills and the family own
ing them have become an integral
part OF the community since
Thomas L. Dunn organized the
company in 1914 with the help of
citizens who raised $35, 900 to back
the new firm.
Owners Active in Affairs.
Garland L. Dunn, who signed
the termination notice to en-
ployes, and his brothers have been
active in civic affairs for years,
making substantial contributions
to charities and city improvement
projects.
The mills have enjoyed good
labor relations. In both wars, the
company turned out woolen uni
forms and blankets. After the
last war the mills began to con-

centrate on upholstering material
for automobiles. Uncertainties Of
the wool market. including price
fluctuations as q result Of war in
Korea. put the mills in an unfa-
vorable competitive position with
the producers of synthetic ma
terials for automobiles.
The employees received no sew
erance pay and very little notice.
although most of them realized
business was falling off and a
shutdown was inevitable unless
new orders were received.
Between 100 and 125 employees
already have applied for State un-
employment compensation. After
a two-week period required by
law, they can begin to draw up
to a maximum of $25 a week, or
a maximum total of $676 in any
one year.
Hard to Change Skills.
The average age, however, is
high. Moreover, the skills are of
a specialized nature difficult to
adapt to other types Of textile
work. Employees out of work in
clude wool carders, spinners, weav-
ers, Wrappers and dyers.
Unless the mills can be re-
opened, they have little chance of
finding the kind Of work they can
do best.
1.-THE best mart of us don't know
anything but woolen mill work, :"
said a 55-year-old assistant fore
man in the carding room.
I'm lucky because I learned the
painting trade years ago.
None Of us have pensions as
far as I know, unless we can quail
ify under Social Security. I went
to work in the mills 80 years ago.
The Dunns were good people to
work for. guess they did the
best they could for all Of U.S."
Bob Penwell, father of nine
young children, and a carder in
the mills the last 13 years. still is
a bit stunned by the termination
notice.
He admits his family is going to
have a lean Christmas, but he
keeps hoping the mills will re-
open somehow.
"They kept the plant and the
machines in fine shape" he said,
and you can't tell me there's
no market for good wool products
in this country"
The mills. machinery and land
are said to be valued at around
$1,190.000.
Some New Businesses.
On the bright side of the en-
ployment picture are a number of
new industries starting here. A
new plant for the production of
explosives is nearing completion
near the city.

For Poppe and Byrnes
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 26.-Henry
Poppe and John Byrnes, two for
mer Manhattan College basketball
players who were charged with
conspiracy to shave points, won't
be imprisoned. but they never will
play professional sports of any
kind.
The pair, co-captains of the
Jasper 1949-50 team, pleaded
guilty and yesterday were told by
Judge James M. Barrett that they
will be sent to Jail if they are
found to be playing professional
sports. In addition, he placed
them on probation for three years.
Judge Barrett. however, wasn't
so lenient with three other con-
feSSed conspirators. He sentenced
Benjamin Schwartzberg of Brook
lyn and Cornelius Kelleher of New
York to one year each and Soil
Rappaport of Brooklyn to 10
months in the penitentiary.
Judge Barrett told Poppe and
Byrnes that he had seen them
play.
Very frankly. I admired you
then," he said. But I don't feel
that way about you today. I had
every intention of putting you
both in sjail."
But, he said. he found it easier
to change his own views than the
views of the majority who
thought you should be given a

remained in the running for titles
as survivors of the preliminary
trials in the 58th annual Penn

Maryland must oppose defending
champion Manhattan, New York
University. Columbia and the Air
Force Olympic team.
Navy also landed sixth place in
its event. with Ira Kane, Frank
Attorney. Charlie Cole and Bill
Branson going the quarter mile
in 0:42.8.
Lone individual qualifier from
Maryland was hurdler Mort
Cohen. who finished third in his
