October could not stay. Her flame
Was a sacrificial fire.
The flowers departed they came.
Now earth has donned her gray attire
To weep the passing of the year.
oh foolish earth, that time moves on
Is hardly worth a moments tear.
Already from the ashes spread
Spring anticipating dawn,
Is weaving garlands for your head

With regard to the renewed

Israel. 1t took thereby into con-

have no part in any union or

aims against the Soviet Union.

President Advocates International
Exchange For Members Of Assns.
OF Manufacturers and Labor Unions

WASHINGTON, Up President
Eisenhower said yesterday he'd
like to see an international eX-
change program for members Of
associations of manufacturers and
labor unions.
Eisenhower suggested this, lik-
ening it to the interchange of
students and professors between
various countries, in talk to the
American Council on Education.
He said these international ex-
change programs are zone of the
principal ways" that differing
peoples can reach understanding
of one another and start on the
''road leading to that happy time
when we can live in peace as
well as security"
An exchange program whereby
industrialists and union members
visited other countries would be
educational, the President said,

First US. Atomic Cannon
Arrives In Europe Under
Security Precautions

BREMERHAVEN Germany, WI
The first American atomic gun
to arrive in Europe was unloaded
here Friday under unprecedented
security precautions.
Hundreds of U. S. military and
German police cordoned off the
Kaiserhafen piers as the U. S.
transport Pine Tree Mariner
locked shortly after midnight
with the dismantled gun. The ship
had left Wilmington, NC, Sept.
23rd.
The 28O-mm mobile gun, cap
able of firing both atomic and
conventional shells, is one of six

talon, whose men are due to ar
rive here Sunday.

needn't stop at the age of 26 or
81 when he has finished his for
NAL schooling.
Eisenhower spoke briefly of his
own experience as president of
Columbia University and drew
laughter with the remark that the
education world couldn't stand
me very long"
He said he wouldn't presume to
advise the schoolmen about their
own field.
"But I can tell you," he said,
''about one effect all of us hope
will result from certain phases of
your work and that is the under
standing that must come about in
the world if we are to achieve in
this day and time the sort Of ma
chinery and the kind of techni-
ques that allow people to live to-
gether without intermittent blaz-
ing into conflict"
Once in North Africa, he said,
he was astonished to find a mod
ern village completely deserted
because the people Of the region
wouldn't live in it.
Eisenhower said the reason was
that running water had been pro-
vided in all the houses and the
women rebelled because going to
the village well for water had
given them their only excuse for
leaving their houses and getting
together with their neighbors.

Taxpayers Asked To
Identify Their Payments
District Director of Internal Revenue
u. S. Treasury Department

District Director of Internal Revenue
U. S. Treasury Department
SEATTLE-District Director Of
Internal Revenue VIM. E. Frank
has requested that the public's at
tention be called to a matter which
increases the cost of. tax collec-
tons and also causes much incon
venience to taxpayers themselves.
This matter is the failure of tax
payers to properly identify their
tax payments so proper credit
may be given to them on the dir
ector's books of account.
The records show that thou
sands of payments are received
each year with nothing more than
the check itself to direct the cred
iting of the tax payment, and it
often happens that the signature
on the check is not easy to de-
cipher
Every taxpayer should return
the tax bill he receives with his
payment. This would greatly fac
ilitate the application Of the pay
ment to his account.
The worst example Of this prob
lem was the instance when an en-
velope was received with no re-
turn address, no note Of explana-
ton, but only three ten-dollar
bills and two dimes. 'We finally
located the account to which this
payment applied" said Director
Frank, but the search cost almost
as much as the tax involved.
please help the government and
yourselves by properly Identify
ing your tax payments"

Federation Delegate
Hits Hasty Decisions

The Federation of Citizens As
sociations was subjected to some
mild criticism at a meeting Of
the Hawthorn Citizens Associa-
ton last night.
James Carr, Hawthorn dele
gate to the federation, said that
on some civic issues the fed
Grafton "acts too hurriedly and
votes Immediately on topics with
which they are not entirely
familiar" He cited the fedora
tion's stand on the school tran
sit fare increase as one precip-
itous action that later resulted
in an about-face.
Mr.. Carr also chided the fed
Grafton for acting too hastily in
condemning the use of Carter
Barron Amphitheater for COM
mercial enterprises. His conten-
ton is that a full study of the

Merchandise Clubs
Freed of Gambling Tax

Tax Commissioner T. Coleman
Andrews has ruled that opera
tors of suit and merchandise
clubs are exempt from paying
gambling taxes.
Mr.. Andrews ruling reversed
the Internal Revenue Bureaus
decision last May that the clubs
were really engaged in gambling.
This made them liable to taxes
under the 1851 gambling tax law.
including a '$50-a-year gamblers
occupation stamp, plus 10 per
cent of all receipts.
The Supreme Court last Mon
day ruled the stamp tax con-
stitutional and Mr.. Andrews has
said he would step up prosecu-
ton for violations of the law.
In a statement yesterday, Mr..
Andrews said it was his opinion
that 'it was not the intent of
Congress to place legitimate
operators of trade stimulating
merchandising plans in the
gambling category" He said he
was acting on the basis of num-
erous" complaints against ap-
plying the gambling law to suit
and merchandise clubs.
