pie of the county was explained
by Mrs. Catherine Rhoads, home
demonstration agent, at the meet
ing for presidents and .secretar-
les of Homemakers' Clubs recent
ly in the Extension Office. Presi-
dents had an opportunity to dis
cuss their problems with the
agents in view of the evergrow-
ing number of Homemakers'
Clubs at this meeting. With the
development of the program and
increase of population since the
beginning of the Extension Ser
vice, authorized by the Smith
Lever Act in 1914, the method
of working with people has
grown from individual home Wis
its to working with groups, often
through demonstration methods.
Individuals are always welcome
to call on the Extension Service
which attempts to help people
solve their problems in homemade
ing and agriculture.
Leadership developed in people
is the highest and most worth
while goal that a community can
strive for in relation to Exten-
sion activities. With the person
mel limited in proportion to the
number of people, the most sat
isfying progress can come with
the effectiveness of that leader
ship. The training of project
leaders, therefore, is the reason
able solution of two agents work
ing among all the people.
Mrs. Irma Bell, assistant home
demonstration agent, and Mrs.
Catherine Rhoads are meeting all
the forty-nine Homemakers'
Clubs in February and March and
steering the All work until Ap-
ril l when a third assistant home
demonstration agent will be
available to work mostly with
All girls. Plans are under way
whereby number of clubs will
meet together to allow the agents
to meet with all clubs during the
month of April for program plan
ming.
Crafts were pointed out to be
a very small part of the program.
The Smith-Lever Act was set up
to take home economics and agri-
culture information to the people
outside of school. Agents are not
trained in crafts and their time
should not be spent in teaching
them as such but are free to
suggest, organize and assist peo-
pie to carry them out on their
own leadership. Many clubs now
have special interest meetings
outside their regular planned
monthly meetings.
Miss Lou Lombard, Four Corn
ers Homemakers' Club, discussed
problems of window treatment
with the women of the Home
Section of the Silver Spring
Women's Cub recently in the
Community Room of Jessup
Blair Library. She used the drap-
cry kit prepared by home furnish.
ing project leaders last spring.

Democrats Threaten
Fight on Cut in Tax
On Stock Dividends

Some House Democrats talked
today Of a drive to get more tax
relief for families and less for
stockholders and businesses in
any tax revision program en-
acted this year.
They threatened a floor fight
aimed at drastically revising a
50 billion tax reduction and re-
vision plan strongly championed
by President Eisenhower and
other Republicans.
Several Democrats on the tax
writing House Ways and Means
Committee said they hope to elm
mate sections providing sharp
reductions in taxes on stock and
bond dividends, and much more
rapid tax reductions to business
for the cost of new plants and
equipment.
These proposals, already APP
proved by the committee, would
reduce revenue an estimated
$615 million the first year and
provide much bigger savings to
the taxpayers involved in the
second and third years-perhaps
three times as much.
Major G. o. p. Project.
Republicans have hailed them
as the most important points in
a project for rewriting almost
all the Nations tax laws. Spon-
sors say they will encourage i'm
vestment. business growth. more
and better jobs and a higher
standard of living for everybody.
But some Democrats argue it
would be far preferable to in
crease personal income tax ex-
emptions, thus reducing taxes
more for large families and low
income groups. and snoring up
the economy through their in
creased purchasing power.
Democrats already have pro-
posed to add to the program
500 increase in each personal
exemption.
Now, several Democrats said,
they are considering move on
the House floor to knock out the

The United States Court of

indefinite. And. he said, they
violated Mr.. Lattimore'S right
to the protection of the Fifth
and Sixth Amendments to the
Constitution.
Judge Youngdahl. while sus-
tanning the remaining three
counts of the indictment against
Mr.. baltimore, expressed "seri-

in personal exemptions.
Eberharter Favors Idea.
Representative Eberh arter.
Democrat of Pennsylvania, said
today he personally favored this
strategy but Democrats probably
would not reach a final, party
line decision until the commit
tee completes the revision prof.
ect.
Mr. Eberharter said Republic
cans are presenting the revision
program to the public as mostly
technical changes in tax laws
which will benefit everybody.
Actually" he said. "the plan
appears to be a fundamental
change in the tax structure to
shift the burden of taxation from
corporations and stockholders
those most able to pay-to wage
earners and -alaried people"
Mr.. Eberharter said after the
dividend proposal reaches full
effect, a taxpayer with $4,000 in
wages would pay $422 in taxes
but a man with the same income
from dividends would pay only
500 in taxes-or 76 per cent less
than the wage Garner.
However. Secretary Of the
Treasury Humphrey said last
night in an NBC television in
terview: What helps business
helps the people things that
help business create more tools,
more jobs and keep our economy
going"
