Despite drastic increases in pro-
duction cost, The international
Silver Company announced here
today it will not take advantage
Of the Capehart Amendment to
apply to the Office Of Price Stabil-
ization for q price increase on its
quality silverplate.
SWe would be justified in petit
tioning for an increase in price
for our 1847 Rogers Bros. and
Holmes & Edwards Silverplate
lines," stated President Maltby
Stevens. 1.-THE price of copper, for
example, has increased 128% since
l945. For the same period, the
price of zinc has risen 124% nick
Ell, 77go: silver bullion, 69To.
However, we believe the best.
interests Of the silverplate Indus
try will be better served by keep
ing prices down rather than rails
ing them.
"This policy Of holding down
prices actually has been practiced
by US for many years and viii con-
tinue to be our policy. At no time
during the life Of the OPA, though
costs rose rapidly, did we apply for
price relief on any line.

YOUR NAMES, PLEASE
WITHIN THE past several months n
.No.s s.

WITHIN HE past several months many OF our sub
scribers andlor residents have been submitting articles for
publication and even enclose money in payment for publish
ing some clipped article in connection with an organization
Or sect, Or cult. Many Of the articles are on topics Of interest
to the pubics and there is no doubt that readers will Be glad
to follow, and even submit other articles, themselves, either
in support Of Or differing as they may see ft However the
articles submitted do not carry the writers real names, which
has been the principal reason for withholding them. Neither
do we know to whom they belong 50 as to contact the writers
directly, for often the articles reach Us with only a pen name
and at times not even that.
TT is GOOD policy, we believe, that those who submit
articles and letters should also send their names. f requested,
the pen name will be used, and the writer's real name kept
confidential
WE BELIEVE, and have always urged, that very many
people should write, on whatever topic Of interest to the
public they see fit to write about. There are those who no
doubt believe that public expressions belong only to an
Editor,but this is By no means true. Lively discussions on
matters Of public interest, for example: the proposed Organic
Act, with both sides presenting their views, can bring just as
much, both IN effect and in reader interest, as ali expression
from the editorial columns.
WE URGE ALSO ~legiblity Il IS often difficult for any
one to handle. satisfactorily, letter written il pencil approx
mately six d more pages with no two sheets Of paper being
the same size; the same IS true Of those written IN ink. TO
write clearly would insure not only early publication but
would avoid msquotesa
THE COOPERATION Of the public il this matter is
urgently requested and We again invite letters and other
articles which will be gladly published as requested

Scarcity ID Manpower
To Face Services IN
1853, Hershey Says

An ultimate scarcity In man
power for the armed forces was
forecast last night by Mai. Gen
Lewis B. Hershey. director of Sc
lective Service.
He said the critical period will
come between July /, 1858. and
January 1, 1854. He made this
prediction during an address at
the 9th annual convention of the
District American Legion Auxil-
iary. It continues today in the
Commerce Department audito-
rum. 10y
Explains Manpower Need.
Gen. Hershey explained that the
armed forces viii need a total OF
1.2 million new men. for two rea-
sons. First, the forces are being
raised in size from 3.5 million to
81 million. This means zoe, 0,00O
more men. Another million, he
said. will be required to replace
those servicemen who have been
in for two-year periods.
At this time, Gen. Hershey
added, the services have almost
used UP" the 20, and 81 age
groups. When all these are gone,
he explained. the matter will be-
come serious. It may mean taking
into service youths OF 10: possibly
even those who are 1872, when
men become liable to military
service. They register at 18.
Unpopular Move Possible.
When the critical period ar
rives. the Selective Service CHIEF
said, it may become necessary tt
obtain manpower from three
groups now deferred, and, hi
added, this would be unpopular
These groups he defined as:
One million fathers who are
under 26 and are not veterans
|one-third million persons deferred
by occupation, like farmers, stu.
dents. and so on, and one-thirc
million almost ins," like Ma.
tional Guardsmen, members Of thu
Organized Reserve and ROTC.
AS an alternative to avert tht
crisis, Gen. Hershey outlined
these possibilities:
Increasing the time of person.

Mississippi Democrats Can Vote

JACKSON, Miss. R-Mississippi
Democrats can vote their choice
between Democratic presidential

Democrats for Eisenhower

In this way Democratic support

WASHINGTON R-CongreSsional
money experts expressed surprise
today at President Truman's est.
mate that direct taxes on corpora
tons this fiscal year will yield
three billion dollars less than he
had figured in his budget seven
months ago.
However. among the few law
makers available for comment on
the revised budget estimates re-
leased Tuesday night, none chal-
lenged the possibility that the drop
back point has been reached.
Rep. Daniel A. Reed of New
York, ranking Republican on the
tax-writing House Ways and Means
Committee, said it had been evi.
dent to him for some time that
retail business has been tagging.
He observed that such a condition
could hardly exist without a back
lash on manufacturers.
Rep. Herman P. Eberharter of
Pennsylvania, ways and means
Democrat, called the decrease in
the probable take from corpora
tons unexpected" He said his
personal opinion had been that
business tax receipts would have
been somewhat higher than the
January estimate of SGT 800, 000, 900.
The Budget Bureaus estimate of
government income has run rather
consistently lower than actual re-
ceipts in most recent years.
In his new look at the budget,
Truman figured that not only re-
ceipts but spending and the year
end deficit are coming down. For
the fiscal year which ends next
June 30, he lowered his estimate
of receipts from II billion dollars
to $6S, 700, 600, 900; of expenditures,
from SIS, 400, 000, 900 to 70 billion
dollars; and of the deficit, from
$14, 4O0, 000, 900 to $40, 300, 600, 900.
One exception to the downtrend
was individual income taxes which
viii bring in about 1914 billion dol
lars, or half a billion more than
the January estimate.

Missing Pin
May Have
Caused Crash
Four Persons We're
Carried To Their
Death August A

MIAMI IA missing cotter pin
one-half inch long may have caused
the death of four persons in the
crash of a CAS- plane at Miami
International Airport Aug. 4.
Testimony that the little pin was
missing was given by John j. Run
ger, air safety inspector for the
Civil Aeronautics Board, at one
day CAB hearing Tuesday in sub
urban Coral Gables City Hall.
The crash killed two resort Air
lines pilots, Robert E. Smith, %,
and John N. Goodman, 26, and
two Orlando youths, Tommy
Slaughter, Is, and his brother,
Glenn, Is.
Just before the accident, the air.
port control tower got word from
the pilot that his elevator controls
had failed.
The CAB inspector testified that
investigation of the wreckage
showed that ''the elevators were
completely disconnected"
Three pieces of the loosened con-
nections-a bolt, a nut and wash
er-were recovered, but the cotter
pin which should have held the
nut in place could not be found.
CAB officials said the loose nut
and bolt were being tested by the
Bureau of Standards in Washing
ton to determine if a cotter pin had
been installed.
They also said that an investi-
CATION in San Antonio, Texas,
where the plane overnighted be-
fore taking off for Miami, discount
ed any possibility the plane might
have been "sabotaged'' there.
An Investigation is continuing in
Burbank, Calf, where the plane
had undergone conversion before
the Miami flight. The CAB will
hold hearing there Aug. %.
There will be no further hear
ing in Miami. CAB officials said
results of the investigation will be
announced later. probably from
Washington.

Congressional Money Experts
Surprised AT Truman's Talk
OF Lower Tax Yield For USA

mate that corporation taxes VIM
bring in $24,SO 600, 900 instead of
ST 500, 000, 900 was based on two
factors: A lower estimate of cor
poration profits for calendar years
1851 and 1852, and added expert
ence with the provisions of the ex-
cess profits tax of 1850 and last
falls tax increase bill.
All but 100 million dollars of the
estimated S., 400, 600, 900 decrease
in expenditures was out of mill
tary funds. including foreign mill
tary assistance. Truman explained
that there have been not only GER
tain reductions in appropriations
but ''some slowing of military pro-
duction resulting from the work
Stoppage in the steel industry"
