Has Guarantee on
Employees Tax Debts

James A. Campbell, president
of the AFL American Federation
of Government Employees, said
today the Government has a
definite guarantee that it will
not lose money on tax delin-
quencies of any of its employees.
Mr.. Campbell challenged a
statement by Senator Williams,
Republican, of Delaware, who
charged on Monday that 25, 900
Federal employees are evading in
come taxes and the Government
is powerleSs to collect from them.
Senator Williams said a legal
loophole makes them immune
because a Federal law prohibits
the salaries of Government en-
ployes being attached. He also
said Federal workers cannot be
fired for non-payment of bills or
taxes, under civil service rules.
Cites Power to Fire.
Mr. Campbell said that ac-
tually, Government agencies
have power under civil service
rules to fire employees who owe
debts they are unwilling to pay;
that the majority of tax delin-
quents in Washington are nom
Government employees, and the
Government has the right to de-
duct any unpaid taxes from the
civil service retirement fund of
employees who leave the Govern
ment service.
This is an adequate guaran-
tee the Government will not lose
money" Mr. Campbell said.
Asked to comment on Mr.,
Campbell's statement, Civil SerN-
ice Commission officials said that
he was correct.
csc officials said agency heads
have the power to fire employees
who are in chronic debt or who
fail to pay income taxes.
The csc officials said the Gov
eminent also has the right under
law to withhold from civil serv-
ice retirement payments the
amount of money an employe
may owe to the Government for
income tax, annual leave or for
any other purpose.
csc Notes Exception.
csc officials said the only oc-
casion when an employees retire
ment payments cannot be
touched is if he is under social
security. About SOC, 600 Federal
indefinite workers are under
social security and the law pro-
hibits any attachment of social
security funds.
However, commission officials
said they felt that the threat OF
being fired for any unpaid in
come tax bill would be enough
of a deterrent to keep employees
in line. Furthermore, they said
that eventually those indefinite
employees who remain on the
Federal payroll will be brought
under civil service retirement
and thus become subject to at
tachment of benefits for any un-
paid taxes.

For 10 years the Republicans

publican, was winning over

crat. with a lead of 275.000 votes

Eisenhower Hands Off.
President Eisenhower is keep
ing hands off ip this New Jersey
contest. Long before the publ
cation of thet Troast letter to
Fay, the President told a press
conference that he was not TAX
ing part in the New Jersey and
Virginia elections-that he did
not intend to go into such cam
paigns which were for the States
to decide. That, however, has
not halted entirely efforts on the
part of New Jersey Republicans
to get some support from Gen.
EisenhoWer-and they still argue
that Mr.. Troast must be elected
to show that the voters have not
turned against the President.
In a recent press conference
Gen. Eisenhower reiterated his
hands-of stand in the New Jer-
sey election. When he came into
the State recently to deliver an
address. he did, indeed. meet Mr..
Troast, along with some of the
other Republicans, but it was
only to say How do you do" and
to shake hands.
What the Republicans fear
and what the Democrats hope
for-is a voters strike. by thou
sands of Republicans in the pop
ulous northern counties. Great
residential groups, sometimes
called the commuter vote or the
silk stocking vote, have helped
to keep the State Republican for
a decade. Many of these voters,
unwilling to vote either for Mr.
Troast or for the Democratic
candidate. are threatening to
stay away from the polls. One
Democratic leader said some Of
these voters are going all the
way-shifting from Mr.. Troast
to Mr.. Meyner.

NEW LAW BANS
DAILY FISHING
PERMIT SALES
Regulation Directed Only to
Out-of-State Vacation
ing Fishermen

Kill Devil Hills = Sunday saw
new fishing license law for out
of-state people go into effect, Jack
Balance, game warden, reminded.
Under a law passed by the last
legislature, one and five day fish
ing permits for out-of-state people
were discontinued, beginning June
l. Only season permits, costing
$3.50, will be sold to fishermen
coming from out of the state.
In the past, such visiting fish
ermen could buy a daily permit
for a little more than dollar and
a five-day permit for less than So.
The new law does not affect
North Carolinians, who still can
buy a daily permit for so cents.
The new law is said to conform
to practice in most other states,
and the season permit in North
Carolina to be less than in many
other states.
State permits are not required
for salt water fishing.
Among those who sell fishing
permits and who cater to vacation
lists, feeling is said to be strong
against the new regulation. One
person who sells permits said
that on this beach the new sta
tute would not result in any more
revenue to the state. AS it has
been, this individual explained, a
person buys one-day permit,

get at $500 During
Meeting Tuesday

Kill Devil Hills.-A budget to-
falling $4,000 and an ad valorem
tax of 10 cents on the 800 were
adopted by the Kill Devil Hills
mayor and commissioners, meeting
Tuesday night at the Avalon Sup
ply Co. office.
The budget allows $1,000 for
general government expense, such
as the salary of the clerk, print
ing, required advertising of ordl-
nances, telephone and telegraph
bills and similar expenditures.
That amount also includes $500, the
estimated cost of making tran
script from county records of as
sessed valuations in the municipal
limits.
The budget allows $4,000 for the
street department and $4,000 for
the police department. Of these,
the first will be completely offset
by the amount expected to be re-
ceived from the states Powell bill
funds, which are limited to street
improvement and maintenance. In
this connection, Mayor j. L. Muir
ply stated he had found that 80
streets in Kill Devil Hills extend
from Highway 158 east to the
ocean. 1t is some of these the COM
missioners hope to pave with Pow
ell bill funds, so that casual VISIT
ors can have access to the beach
without trespassing.
In connection with the $4,000 po-
lice item, Mayor Murphy suggest
ed that man of experience and
character would be needed. Kill
