Potter Urges
Auto Tax Easing

Senator Potter, Republican Of
Michigan, today urged the new
Congress to suspend the Federal
excise tax on passenger auto
mobiles for six months.
In a statement filed with the
House subcommittee studying
excise taxes the Senator said
this action would relieve many
femilies of part of the present
tax burden and stimulate sag
ging employment in the auto
mobile industry.
Senator Potter pointed out
that while the Nation as a
whole is prosperous, there are
still 10000 unemployed in
Michigan.
See Many Benefits
Senator Potter predicted that
the less than $500 million from
a six month suspension of the
automobile tax would be re-
placed several times by revenues
resulting fro mthe increased
business and the salaries created
by more employment.
Meanwhile, Meyer Davis, rep
resenting the American Fedora
ton of Musicians, was one of a
number of witnesses appearing
before the subcommittee.
He said in statement that
the 20 per cent cabaret levy is
causing unemployment not only
among musicians but also among
other groups.

U.S.CoaI Boom
Seen as Sales
Abroad Soar
BY the Associated Press

A coal industry spokesman said
today that stepped-up demand
has made 1856 a landmark in the
American coal export business.
1T is the beginning of new
era that could have profound
impact on the industry and con-
siderable influence on the course
OF world affairs" said F. F. Estes,
executive secretary Of the Coal
Exporters Association Of the
United States, Inc.
Mr.. Estes said the combined
export sales Of both bituminous
and anthracite this year should
exceed so million tons. topping
BY some three million tons the
previous record set in 1947.
Far from being just a tempo
rary boom, Mr.. Estes said, in
dications are that the Increased
export business can be continued
at a high, Co higher, rate if
American producers and sellers
follow up.
He said this year will show the
third consecutive increase over
the preceding years exports.
Behind the new overseas de-
mand for United States coal Isl
the rapid revival and expansion
Of Western European industry
since World War II and the in
creasing evidence that coal pro-
duction there cannot meet indus
trial needs.
Some confirmation that the
need is for a long term lies in
the reports Of contracts for coal
purchases for several years I'M
the future and in commitments
for shipping space for two, four
or more years ahead Mr.. Estes
said.

RING The BELL FOR MENTAL HEALTH

Some things you should know
about mental and emotional illness.
Mental illness is name covering
several sicknesses of the mind
which affect the way a person
thinks, feels and behaves. The
medical term for serious illness is
"psychOsis. The legal term is in
sanity"
People suffering from psychosis
live in imaginary worlds of their
own, which have little relation to
the real world. But they are not
entirely unaware of what is going
on around them or what is happen
ing to them.
Here are some of the ways that
mental illness affects people, they
may think they hear voices, or that
their food is poisoned, or that
everybody is out to "get" them.
They may be very depressed or in
state of great excitement. They
may feel that a terrible thing is
going to happen to them or that
they have committed horrible
crime for which they are being
punished. They may imagine they
are some famous person or that
they have magical powers.
During the time that they are
