Fish Finder
Rugged Up
For Only $2.1O

LITTLE RIVER, S. C. - Can't.
olan Carter, skipper of the deep
sea fishing cruiser, "Helen Jean
at Little River, has rugged up a
fish-finder and depth indicator for
his party fishing boat, and it
actually works.
Whereas many fishing craft are
equipped with expensive electronic
and radar fish locators and dept
indicators, costing up 70 $1,000.
Capt. Carter's gadget represents
a munificent investment of only
$2.1O, the cost of q two-pound
hunk of lead, a bar of Octazon
Soap and 200 foot fish line.
Its operation is as simple as its
construction, which consists Of q
round lead bar followed out on
the bottom. In this hole, Capt.
Carter Grams a bar Of the gummy
soap, ties string to the top of
the bar and drops it into the ocean.
When it hits bottom, the soap
picks up whatever 1t touches. II
it's sand, black-fishiny Is no good
and Capt. Carter HOSTS anchor and
pulls off to ano.he- spot on the
ocean. When the lead bars comes
up with nothing stuck TO the soap
he knows he is over rock beds,
where black-fish are feeding. Then
he instructs his passengers to
drop their lines overheard and be-
gin pulling 'em in.
By marking tn line with coloret
wax crayon, Capt. Carter also uses
his "fish-finder" for a depth indi.
Gator, which also aids in deter.
mining the location Of good fish
ing spots. Judging from the bis
catches Of black-fish the "Heler
Jean" has been bringing in lately
Capt Carriers gadset Is at leas
as effective as Q radsr indicator.

Making Calls
On armers

L. ii. Primer, who is presently
working for the Tobacco Board
OF Trade in an effort TO promote
the sale of the bright leaf on the
local market, said today that farm
ers in the Brunswick county area
whom he has seen are making
plans to market their crops here.
A large number of Brunswick
tobacco growers sold their tobacco
In Tabor City last year and the
high prices they received for their
crops then, has prompted many to
lay plans for selling here again
this season.
MIR. Primer has been calling on
farmers throughout Brunswick
county for the past two weeks. He
said today that he had been greet
ed cordially by those farmers in
that area.

was busy this week organizing
the two tobacco motorcades that
will tour the countryside on July
80 and 81.
X. Lee Wright, new sales super
visor, this week expressed hope
that more farmers would sell their
crops here this year and that more
of the bright leaf would be mar
keted in Tabor City than in sew
eral seasons. People who sell here
regularly realize that they get a
better price for tobacco on the
Tabor City market than on most
markets. We want to see every
farmer get the high dollar for his
crop and believe that he will il
he sells here" Wright said.

NEW YORK, May ga pretty
Park avenue girl today faced this
poignant choice: Did she want
wealth? Or the man she loved?
With her 21st birthday just
two weeks away, Jean L. Tan
burn has received a court ruling
that she must choose between
one or the other.
She can't have both. Caught
in this classic conflict between
love and money, Miss Tanburn
last night declined to comment.
If she goes ahead with her
plans to marry Donelson M.
Kelly, jr., she forfeits her rights
to a $4,000 cash inheritance
and a $6,500-a-year income from
a $4,000 trust fund.
The dilemma resulted from a
provision in her great-grand-
fathers will that no descendant
who marries a person mot of
the Jewish faith and not of
Jewish blood" can benefit from
the will.
Mr.. Kelly, a Princeton Uni
versity senior, is not Jewish. He
and Miss Tanburn, who attended
Vassar, are engaged and planned
to marry before he reports to
the Army at Fort Sill, Okla,
next month.
When the problem was put
before Surrogate William T. Col
Inns yesterday, he said Miss Tan

burns situation commands the
courts sympathy"
1T is unfortunate that she
cannot have both a marriage
with the man of her choice and
the inheritance. Present consid-
erations which tug at her heart
do not resolve the legal queries
propounded."
The will is discriminatory" !"
he said, but Ito discriminate in
the disposition of property is
frequently the motivation of a
will.
"A testator may exclude a
child or other descendent from
participation in his estate for
sound reason, or because of
whim or prejudice which might
seem unreasonable to Others"
So the judge upheld the will
of her great grandfather. Abra-
ham S. Rosenthal, a silk i'm
porter, who died in 1888. He left
bequests totalling SIS million, in
cluding a fortune to Miss Tan
burns father, Stephen A. Tan
burn, who died last October.
The inheritance and trust
fund was to go to Miss Tanburn
when she reached 81 on May "a,
if she qualified.
She and her mother live at
1850 Park avenue. Mr.. Kelly is
the son of Don M. Kelly, now
of Paraguay, and Mrs. Hubert
Dumont, of New Orleans.

Rover Office 10 Sue
For Gambling Fines

United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover announced yesterday his
Office will press civil suits in an
effort to collect $1,000 fines from
gambling tax delinquents who
are found able to pay fines.
The announcement came after
a fifth defendant escaped both
paying the fine and going to jail.
The last case was that of Mrs.
Thelma M. Baughman, 40, of
the 4200 block of German street
NV, who pleaded guilty to fail
ure to buy the $50 Federal gam
bling tax stamp.
Mrs. Baughman, still on pro-
baton for possession of num-
bers slips. was fined $1,000 on
the tax charge by Municipal
Court Judge Thomas c. Scalley.
The law. however. does not re-
quire a jail term for persons
who cannot pay the fine. Mrs.
baugnInan was allowed to 60
free.
Mr.. Rover said in the future
his Office and the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau will investigate the
finances of each person fined for
non-payment of the tax.
Suits will be brought against
those who seem able to paw.
Some defendants who have
pleaded guilty to violating the
tax stamp act have been given
jail sentences for failure to pay
the $1,000 minimum fine. All of
these defendants. however, had
been sentenced to serve time on
gambling charges and the Jail
sentences under the tax act were
allowed to run concurrently.

IndustriaIisfs Study
Sales Tax as Help 10
u. 5. in Depression
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

HOT SPRINGS, Va. May e.
A Federal sales tax was being
explored cautiously today by the
Nations top industry executives
as a possible bolster for Federal
revenues If a recession should
come.
Members Of the Commerce
Departments Business Advisory
Council, meeting in closed ses-
sion here with Secretary Weeks,
conceded that so drastic a change
in national tax policy could not
be posed for immediate action.
Business Growth Bright.
They also voiced. in private
conversation. the view that the
business outlook is highly favor
able for possibly year ahead
and that any recession caused by
dwindling defense outlays will be
mild and brief.
But the opinion was wide
spread-and is understood to be
shared by some Treasury officials
that present tax policy leans
too heavily on individual income
and corporate taxes, which might
drop sharply in a recession.
The council, an appointed
group of more than 100 corpo-
ration heads which for 20 years
has been advising Secretaries of
Commerce, discusses the business
outlook with Mr.. Weeks at to-
days meeting in the Homestead
Hotel, and also has on schedule
a talk by Vice President Nixon
and a question-and-answer ses-
sion with him.
Back Tough Tax Policy.
The council yesterday threw
its support solidly to President
EiSenhower's tough tax policy
and his liberal foreign trade pro-
gram. The members:
1. Officially and unanimously
called for one-year extension of
the Reciprocal Trade Agreements
Act which expires next month,
and decried all proposed acts of
| Congress which would vjn1ate

2. Unoficially but with SEEM
