Complete CD Sen. Williams
Report Given Lashes Out At
In Sussex Co. Tax Secrecy
Delaware SOlOn Urges
Legislation To Disclose
Names Of All Holding
Exempt Status.

Sen. John j. Williams (R-DeD
Monday of this week called on the
Justice and Treasury Departments
to stop quibbling" and recommend
legislation to remove the cloak
of secrecy" from applications for
tax exempt status.
In a Senate speech, Williams
said Congress should pass a law
authorizing publication of the
names of all those to whom tax
free status is granted.
"As things stand now," the Della
ware lawmaker said, for all we
know. the Communist Party is still
enjoying tax exempt status as a
'non-prOfit' organization"
The treasury has always kept
secret information concerning nom
profit organizations which apply for
tax exempt status. In general, such
organizations concentrate on char
liable research or Informative
work.
I'm this connection" Williams
said, "it seems that everyone is
in agreement as to the wisdom of
making public information regard
ing these cases.
However, the solution to this
problem has developed into a stale
mate" he added.
The stalemate, he said, has been
developed because of different opin-
ions by the legal officers of trea-
sury and justice.
THE Treasury Department is ap-
parently taking the position that
under existing law it has the
authority and is will
ing to proceed" Williams said.

A number of Milford's prominent
and ciyic-minded citizens have met
again as guests of G. Franklin

ther steps toward organizing a

The l.. ID. Caulk Company auditor
ium when the needs of young peo-
pie in Milford were discussed, the
decision was made to have a YMCA,

Then at a second meeting on May
%, further important steps were
taken to consider the most pressing
and immediate needs of young peo-
pie in Milford and how program
priorities should be set up.
At the most recent meeting the
concensus of opinion seemed TO in
dicate, among other things, that
a teen-age canteen is badly needed.
Something a little bit like this was
attempted in Milford a year or so
ago but was discontinued because
of lack of leadership. planning and
follow-up. The Personnel Services
Department of the National YMCA
Council provides full-time, profess
ionally-trained men who come ex-
perienced in the leadership and ad-
ministration of strong year-round,

the pressing need for a teen-age
canteen. Milford citizens also have
expressed need for Fairgrounds and
day camps, for youth citizenship
clubs in school, and for coordina-
tion of a varied athletic program

Purchasing Unit
Bill Is Rejected
Measure Which Had The
Backing Of Governor
j. Caleb Boggs, Fell
One Vote Short In The
Senate.

An Administrations bill
creating a State Department Of pur-
chases and Supply was turned down
by the Senate on Wednesday of
this week. 1t drew five Republican
and three Democratic votes-one
shy of the number needed for pas
sage.
The upper chamber approved a
$1,100,000 appropriation for con-
struction of a new hospital at the
State Welfare Home in Smyrna and
authorized q s500,000 bond issue to
finance construction of new arm
ories for the Delaware National
Guard. These are House bills that
now go to Gov. j. Caleb Boggs.
1t also received and passed a
compromise" State Department of
Labor Bill abolishing the Labor
Commission and creating a five
member agency to take its place.
Senator Robert E. Wilgus (R-
Frankford), sponsor of the De-
partment of Purchases and Supply
proposal, changed his vote so that
he can move for reconsideration at
a later date.
Would Name Director
This proposal (SB 146) would
set up a central purchasing agency
under the general jurisdiction of
the secretary of state. 1t would
create an advisory committee of
five members and a Standardization
committee of nine. A director of
purchases and supply would be ap-
pointed by the secretar-- of state,
with the assistance of advisory
committee.
Andrew ID. Christie, director of
the Legislative Reference Bureau,
was called upon to explain the bill.
He pointed out that both Governor
Boggs and his predecessor, Elbert
N. Carvel, have received recommen-
dations that the state set up some
sort of central purchasing agency.
Two years ago, he said COM
mittee was appointed to study the
question. The bill is its recon-
Mr.. Christie noted that
the secretary of state seems to be
the logical official to supervise the
proposed agency because he already
purchases for a few de-
partments headquartered in Dover.
1t was also felt, he continued, that
the state should avoid setting up
still another separate agency to
regulate purchases when surveys
have repeatedly indicated a need
for greater Capitalization in the
states government.
Savings Cited
"It is estimated" he said, that
centralized purchasing would re-
suit in very substantial savings"
