Tax Collections Slow
In Spite Of More Time

The extra months grace
granted taxpayers this year for
filing returns is proving a fail
ure as far as his Office is con-
cerned, L. A. Chamberlin, dis
trict director of Internal Rev
enue Service. reported yesterday.
Mr.. Chamberlin. who heads
the tax District for Washington,
said high hopes anticipated by
having an extra month leeway
for working on returns have not
been justified.
With two weeks remaining, he
declared. returns are still 100000
short of what they should be.
Among this number, he said, is
the perplexing fact that 100000
wage earners who will be due
refunds have not seen At to file
as yet.
In all. he added, about $50, 900
returns Of the estimated 1861
900 to be handled have been re-
ceiyed.
1.-THE extra month has not
helped the work load by any
means, for apparently the tax
payers are holding out until the
very last minute" Mr.. Cham
berlain said. IF those taxpayers
who have not filed would do so
now, they would help save the
Government time and money.

Non-Sfriker's Home
Bombed, Baby Huri

NASHVILLE. Tenn. April 2
GA nine-month-old baby
suffered a brain conclusion last
night when an explosion ripped
a hole in the front porch at the
home Of a non-striking Louis

ploye.
The blast shattered a window,
scattering glass across the in,
fant's crib. The child was under
a physicians care today.
Sergt. w. E. Johnson of the
county patrol said the explosion
apparently came from a stick Of
dynamite hurled onto the porch
of the home Of Virgil T. Reneau,
a union member and a switch
man at the Nashville terminal.
The injured infant was the
youngest Of Mr.. Reneau's four
children.
Mr.. Reneau said he had been
working since the strike OF non.

KnowIand Says U. S.
Must Defend Isles
Or Appease Reds

PHILADELPHIA. April 2 up.
Senator Knowland, Republic
can, of California. said today the
United States would be adopting
q policy of appeasement If it
backed down on defending the
Chinese offshore islands of Que
moy and Matsu.
The Senate Minority Leader
told a news conference he would
send in United States armed
forces. if he were the President,
should the Chinese Reds. attack
Nationalist forces on the two
small islands.
Senator Knowland admitted he
did not know exactly what Presi-
dent Eisenhower would do If the
Reds attempted to seize Quemoy
and Matsu, both located about
10 miles from the Chinese main
land.
II believe that the admins
tration's foreign policy is based
fundamentally on winning peace
with honor and believe that the
President favors international
law and order" Senator Know
land said.
~But it is far different to make
appeasement policies or seek
peace at any price if you do not
stand up against an aggressor.
II believe that we have drawn
O line against further Commu-
mist aggression in the Far East
and that we will not retreat from
that line"
Senator Knowland said the
line placed the United States in
the positive position Of defending
Formosa and the nearby Pesca-
dores Islands. plus other vital
areas now held by the Nation
alists.
But Senator Knowland pointed
out that Quemoy and Matsu were
not mentioned in the Formosa
resolution passed overwhelmingly
by Congress which authorized
President Eisenhower to deploy
United States armed forces in
case Of aggression by Red China
In the Forrnosa area.
I'VE can better preserve the
peace by showing firmness at this
time" Senator Knowland said.
1T would not be in the best in
terests Of the United States to
permit Quemoy and Matsu to
be taken by the Communists"
