Mounted Troop in the U. S. A.,
with their scoutmaster, Marvin
Howard, mounted their horses
on Saturday for a ride north.
They had hoped to go as far as
Buxton, but the Banker Ponies

main on this side of the Inlet.
They enjoyed week end of
camping at the Cedar Hamlet C..
G. Station, and on their return
home rounded up all the wild
ponies and drove them down to
the village corral. 1t seems that
one or two of the boys have not
yet purchased ponies of their
own and wished to look them
over.

Tax Hints
For 1854

The recent Federal income tax
filing period has again brought out
two factors which cause taxpayers
great difficulty. They are the fail
ure to keep adequate records and
misunderstanding of what deduc-
tons are allowable. This was men
toned today by District Director
of Internal Revenue Wilson B.
Wood, following preliminary
study of reports made by agents
who conducted the taxpayer assist
ance program.
During the filing period we
found many taxpayers who were
prepared to pay more than they
rightly owed because they either
did not keep records or failed to
utilize their records to get the best
deal on their deductions" the Di-
rector said. with records the tax
payer can easily get advice, but
without records, even the best tax
expert will have trouble preparing
his return"

Getting
Along
BY LAUREN WHITE

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL) = Joe
Louis, former worlds heavyweight
champion, has done many things
that should endear him to the pub
lie. He has furnished entertain
ment and diversion to millions. Life
often becomes dull and uninterest-
ing, and most of us need stimuli
of various kinds from time to time.
When Joe Louis was at his peak,
many people received their biggest
thrills when he fought. For weeks
before at big fight, Joe would be
the chief topic of conversation, and
when he won, many people felt it
was a personal victory for them.
Joe created interest in boxing when
the sport was low ebb, and he
provided the fresh, ntw talented
fighter that was needed to lure
the cash customers to the box
office.
Besides all this, Joe Louis in
spired many of the nations youth
to live clean, wholesome lives. It
would be hard to count the young
men in this country who are physic-
ally sound because they tried to
initiate Joe Louis. Many of them
were inspired to take care of them
selves and get the proper rest,
food and exercise because they
wanted to be like Joe Louis.
Most fus do not like to see Joe
Louis embarrassed. We do not like
to see any popular hero embarrass-

NOTES
BY JAMES II. LAWSON

UNITED NATIONS, NY. (GLO-
BAL - ETHIOPIA - Col. John
C. Robinson Brown Condor" of
the Italo Ethiopian War, died last
Saturday in a hospital at Adds
Ababa as a result of inquiries re-
ceived two weeks earlier when the
training plane he was flying crash
ed and burned, after narrowly miss
ing a nurses home. Some say the
accident was caused by engine fail
ure. Others wonder - for Col.
Robinson had been accused in GER
tain circles of supplying guns to
the "Mau MauS" by air. However,
this has always been denied by
both the late Colonel Robinson and
the Ethiopian government.
Col Robinson was a graduate of
Tuskegee Institute, class of 1924
and Curtis Wright Aeronautical
Institute, class Of 1881. He later
taught at both institutions.
Chicagoans will remember Col
Robinson as the organizer of the
challenger Air Association" COM
posed of Negro men and women
pilots in that area. Early in 1885,
he was invited to organize course
in Aviation at Tuskegee, and al
most at the same time was invited
by a personal preventative of
Emperor Halle SelaSsie to serve
in Ethiopia. He chose the latter and
became head of the Imperial Ethio
plan Air Force.
Col. Robinson escaped from
Ethiopia before the Italian occupa-
ton and returned to the United
States in 1886 and toured the coun-
try in behalf of aid to Ethiopia. In
1915, he returned to Ethiopia His
name was inscribed on the monu-
ment to heroes in Adds Ababa for
his part in the Italo Ethiopian war.
When this reporter visited Ethiopia
in 1852 as the Emperor's guest, Col.
Robinson was a constant compan-
ion.

ed. So, when the news that he owed
more than $5OO,O0o in income tax
leaked out, most of Joe's admirers
felt sorry for him. He let himself
down as we'll as his public. When
man is a success in one field of en-
deavor, we hate to think of him
as a flop in some other field. Joe
Louis is a gigantic flop in manag-
ing his finances. He owes more
than S50O,O0O in back taxes for the
years 1916 through 1949.
Now, in order for Joe to owe
such a large amount, he must have
earned large amounts. And, though
income taxes are very high, other
people pay at the same rate he
does, and keep their taxes paid up.
1t is regrettable that Joe Louis
finds himself in such dire financial
straits, especially when we con-
slider how much he has earned.
However, there is a lesson to be
learned for thiSe who will be guild
ed by the mistakes of others.

The Federal Trade Commission
today charged the New York
Coffee and Sugar Exchange has
unlawfully restrained interna-
tional trade in coffee and thereby
promoted substantial increase"
in prices.
The complaint named the ex-
change, four of it's officers and
eight of its members. and also
the New York Coffee and Sugar
Clearing Association. Inc.
The FTC said, in announcing
the complaint, that it was a
followup to the economic study
of the coffee market made by
FTC last spring.
In it's report on this study.
the FTC said last July that the
sharp increases in coffee prices
during 1853 and early 1854
cannot be explained in terms
of the competitive laws of sup
ply and demand"
A complaint issued by the FTC
is answerable before the COM
mission itself. In the normal
course. a hearing is held and
the commission then decides
whether the charges have been
substantiated.
If it decides the charges are
true, the commission can order
a defendant to cease the alleged
illegal practices.
At New York, a spokesman for
the exchange said its principal
officers were not available i'm
mediately for comment.
