Gross Receipts Tax
The gross receipts tax amount
led to $453,880 last year. The

Uncertainty Over Radios
Uncertainty developed at At
sugi as to which RATS have
radios.
1t. Col. John D. Howard OF
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, command
er Of Air Group II to which
Capt. Montague and 1t. Bell be-
long, said he had no informa-
ton on Air Force reports Of ra-
dio contacts with the presum-
ably drifting RATS.
1T is our opinion that they do
not have a radio. We have
taken a physical and admins
trative inventory and according
to the records have accounted
for all the radios. From that,
we believe the missing men had
with them 'radar corner reflec-
tors" Col. Howard said. The
ref1ectors have a target for ra-
equipped search craft.
Another Marine officer point
ed out, however, that such equip
ment depends on the individual
pilot and that crews sometimes
trade equipment.
The Air Force and Navy, how
ever, have reported repeated ra-
dio contacts with at least one OF
the men presumably 1t. Bell
These contacts have been the
basis for repeated efforts to pin
point them.

TOKYO, June 80 R.-The

Most major Federal depart

Ihaphazard grievance procedures
and sometimes none at all. The
Post Office Departments new
system may have a salutary ef-
fleet in bringing other Federal
agencies in line.
In announcing the new system,
Postmaster General Summerfield
declared:
1.-THE new procedure sets forth
lin readily understood terms, an
orderly method whereby en-
lployes may exercise their rights
lin the presentation of grievances
with the assurance that in every
case where satisfactory adjust
|ment is not made at lower super

lem will reach the highest off,

SIN line with our current or.
ganization pattern, the new
grievance and appeals procedure
stresses the Importance of re.
solving complaints promptly an6
fairly at the work level in the
field between employees and theil
immediate supervisors.
"At the same time, it reserves
to an aggrieved employe the
right to carry his complaint tc

PARIS, Jan. Twas Law
renee Of Arabia q hero or . faker?
Were the fabulous stories Of his
activities based on fact or the
creation Of a publicity ciaque
anxious to meet the public de-
mand for romantic adventure?
F'or Author Richard Arlington
the answer is clear: Lawrence.
the so-called uncrowned king Of
Araby, was one Of the biggest
humbugs ever foisted on . gulli-
BILE public.
Mr.. Aldington's book, IT p.

Elm French, under the title Law
renee. the Imposter." " Although
the manuscript has been In the
hands Of British and American
publishers for more than a year,
it has not yet been published IN
either country.
Biographers Chided.
Mr.. Arlington presents the
conclusion that the writer's who
built the reputation Of Lawrence
are almost as much to blame as
the man himself. The principal
biographers of Lawrence are
chided for not digging deeply
enough into the facts, and rely-
ing too much on the word OF the
subject himself.
Dr.. Arlington is the author Of
| q dozen novels, poetry and q
biography of wellington.
The Lawrence story, as the
world know it, is that the young
oxford graduate went to the
Middle East as an archeologist.
During World War I, as a Brit
ish officer, he is credited with
sparkling the Arab revolt against
Turkey and leading the Arab
forces to outstanding victories
| In lightning raids. He also is
known as the author of Seven
Pillars OF Wisdom. J"
Lawrence,s part In the war
was that Of q liaison officer be-
tween the British Army and the
Arabs, Mr.. Arlington writes,
commenting that while Law
renee occasionally hatcf1ed some
grandiose plans, either they
were not carried out or led to
no outstanding success. In any
case, Mr.. Arlington says. the
Arab contribution to the war
was negligible, with most of the
fighting done BY the British.

He writes that influential people
In the literary world let them
selves be enrolled as councillors
| and correctors. And, according
to Lawrence. Bernard Shaw irn-
proved every paragraph of the
book.
Mr.. Arlington credits Lowell
Thomas, American writer and
lecturer, with first spreading
4 LaWrence's name. He writes that
Tomas had gone on a tour to find
| q popular war hero, and when
his efforts failed in the muddy
| stalemate Of Western Europe.
i he turned to the desert war and
found Lawrence.

ceived from Lawrence, Mr.. Al
