Excess Profits
Tax Extension
To Committee
BY CHARLES =. BARRETT

BY CHARLES =. BARRETT
WASHINGTON Up - Secretary
of the Treasury Humphrey goes
to bat today for extension of the
excess profits tax, with a dubious
House committee serving up the
questions.
Humphreys performance could
hold the key to success or failure
for President Eisenhower's first
major tax proposal to Congress.
Veteran Republicans and Demo-
Gratis on the ways and means COM
mittee, in opposing an extension
of the tax, said today they have
prepared some rough questioning
for Humphrey. Eisenhower and
Humphrey have denounced the ex-
cess profits tax as an unfair and
sitting burden on business, but say
the government needs the revenue
its produces.
Democrats said they would take
the line that if the tax is so bad,
it is the administrations respon-
Sibility to come out for an equi-
table way to raise needed revenue.
Republicans had marshaled page
after page of data showing specific
cases of what they consider undue
hardship as a result of the tax.
Eisenhower, in a broadcast to
the nation and a special message
to Congress, asked two weeks ago
that the special business profits
levy be continued six months to
raise 800 million dollars and ease
an expected federal deficit next
year.
The tax expires automatically on
June 80 unless Congress extends
it. 1t amounts to an extra 30 per
cent tax on corporation profits
found to be excessive as compared
with a past period, an industry
average. or some other base.
Republicans on the ways and
means committee, in two private
sessions before EiSenhower's re-
quest, had lined up unanimously
against an extension Of the tax.
The committee is the major hur-
die for the program because it
must start all tax bills through
Congress. COP leaders are con-
ginced the proposal viii pass If
it gets out of the ways and means
group.
In the two weeks since Eisen-
hover outlined his program of con-
tinued high taxes, his leaders have
made some progress within the
committee.
But separate interviews with
each of the Is committee Repub-
licans and 10 Democrats showed
over the week end that the adj
ministration can't be sure Of sue.

The Republicans lined up: 8
definitely against extension now.
for it. 4 probably for it and 2
noncommittal. The 10 Democrats:
/ opposed, 3 inclined against, 2 for
1t and probably for it. Their
views could change later.

Reports OF His
Death. Really
We're Exaggerated
sy ALEX n. SINGLETON

BELGRADE R-Pity me plight
of Ceda Pavlovic, who awoke the
other night in a cemetery fully
dressed for his own formal funeral.
Poor Pavlovic had taken a hot
bath earlier in the day. Forgetting
his schoolday physics lessons, he
reached up dripping arm to snap
on light. Water serves as a con-
ductor for electricity.
His wife found him unconscious.
A hurridly summoned physician
pronounced him dead. His body
was carted off for burial next day
under government health regula-
tons. 1t was logged in an. ice-chill-
ed vault beneath the cemetery
chapel.
Pavlovic awoke to find himself
in a coffin. A bit perplexed, he
briefly debated whether he was in
heaven, then nudged the lid of the
coffin.
The lid moved upwards. He
climbed out, only to find the vault
door bolted. He cried for help.
Frightened, cemetery guard
above fled.
A 6O-year-old retired juriSt, Paw
lovic pleaded his predicament with
pasSion--at the top of his lungs
81 am here by mistake" he
shouted. LET me out" The guard
finally crept back and released
him.
Pavlovic hurried off to the near
est phone to report to his wife
he was coming home, hungry.
He was in for another shock.
Under the strain of the day, she
shrieked. Then she hung up. Then
she tainted. Pavlovic tried next to
re-establish himself with his neigh
bors. Answering his knocks, they
looked quickly, shuddered and
slammed the doors.
Finally, he found an acquaint-
ance who had not heard Of his
death" This one served as a 60
between. Poor Pavlovic soon was
home again.
But the last shock was still TO
come. His family had inserted a
death notice in the morning papers
too late to be withdrawn. Paw
lovic still is answering messages
of coincidence.

THERE are sound reasons for a
of high supports for farm
ers as long as most other parts of the
enjoy protected prices in
one way or another. But we're goin'
to have to find some way to get rid
of the CROWN surplus or it will
topple over on us some day. Like
the boy with the buildin' blocks, you
can only stack them so high before
somethin' happens.

at you from the warehouses and

Some of the worst headaches in the
agricultural field right now are the
city spectators who watched the
risin' price cycle for few years and
then got in at just the wrong time.
While the experts are wranglin'
with each other as 10 what should
be done about the surplus problem.
If appears that Mother Nature may
be takin' things into her own
hands. Only six states registered
normal precipitation FIR m July
through September. Most of the
others not only registered under

It's easy to philosophize about

Allen Co. People Haze Paid S2I Million
In Sales Tax Since It's Beginning In '35
PAGE FOURTEEN

A grand totak> of $20,907, ,4S4 has
been collected in Allen County by the
Ohio sales tax from its beginning in
1885 to June 80, 1868 it is reported
by Roger w. Tracy, Treasurer of
State. The figure for the whole state
during Is years isl s1,595, ,62S,793.
During the fisca year ending June
80, 1853, the sales tax collections for
the county totalled s2,1s5,5e2, an in
crease of 9.3 per Gent over the same
period in 1862.
These are among the sales tax
facts released by Tracy in a sum-
mary telling the story of the prepaid
consumers receipts fhat make al
most every ohioan 1 stamp collector.
One billion seven hundred and
twenty-six million individual stamps
were sold in denominations from one
cent toSS15 IN the entire state dur
ing the fiscal year.
Grand total receipts from prepaid
sales tax stamps for the state
amounted to s1SS, ,741,8O1, an in
crease of 1913 per cent over the pre-
yious year. ~
Counting eight million hesidents
for Ohio, the auipunt per capita of
sales tax stamps parchased was s2a.-
80
Calculating the value of the goods
represented by these transactions,
Tracy figured that Ohioans spent ap-
proximately ,266,6b6,666 for items
subject to the sales tax during the
last year.
-Four hundred apd ffty-six tax
agencies took care lof sales of stamps
to 225,00O vendors.
Although most persons threw
their stamps away, 6O,403 organiza-
tions and individuals in fiscal 1858
applied for redemptions which to-
tailed $2,S55,669 when paid by the
