Treasury and congressional
star technicians are understood
to be centering their efforts or
the problem Of excise taxei
which assertedly give compete
tive advantages to some products
over others or raise doubts
sometimes costly to the Govern
ment as well as to the taxpayers
-as to where and how they
should be levied.
Hrrings last month brought
complaints Of ineQuities in the
application-or lack Of applica-
tionof excise taxes to q vast
variety of goods and services.
5 The subcommittee was re-
minded. for example, that ex-
else taxes are collected on elec-
trio blankets, electric incinera-
tor disposal devices. mechanical
pencils, power lawn mowers. lub-
ricating oil, radio tubes. buses.
and rebuilt automobile engines
but not on regular. blankets, gas

Employees who had less than 80
days of accumulated leave at the
start of this year can build up
their leave accumulation carry
over. into the next year to 80
days. But they must use ali
excess earned leave by the end
Iof the year or else forfeit the
unused portion.
For example. an employe had
az days of accumulated annual
leave at the start OF this year
land earns 13 days Of leave during
this year. He may save eight
days of leave, bringing him to
THE maximum total Of 80. But
he must use the other 5 days of
leave by December 81 or else
forfeit them.
The law provides that Gov
Iernment workers who had more
than 80 days of sayed-up leave
at the start of the year can re-
tain this total. But they cannot
increase 1t and that is why they
must use up all their 1955-earned
leave by December 81. Employees
with less than 80 days are al
lowed to build UP their leave to
80 days. but not to exceed that
amount.
