NAACP to Ask Court
For Faster Indignation

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, July
IL (R.-Another school desegre-
cation case comes up for legal
airing today before Federal Judge
John Paul Of Virginia's western
district.
Attorneys for the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement
of Colored People were prepared
to ask the court to order a start
toward desegregation in Char
lottesville's public schools in Sep
TENDER.
But a delay was expected to be
sought by Attorney General j.
Lindsay Almond and former Gov
ernor John S. Battle. represent
ing the Charlottesville School
Board. There was speculation
they would ask Judge Paul to
hold up the case until a three
Judge court in Richmond decides
whether the Prince Edward seq
regation case should be heard by
three juristS or the customary
one judge.
An opinion is expected within
two weeks on whether q three
Judge court is required or single
judge may now handle the case.
New Gases in Question.
While the question directly
concerns the Prince Edward
County segregation case which
was back in Federal court at
Monday, it could have
a bearing on the new segregation
cases, such as that from Char
lotteSville, which have been filed
in the State.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-07-12

Because of the short time be.
tween now and the opening Of
schools. it was believed that
Negro attorneys for the plain
this in the case will not ask
for completion of deSegregatior
by September Of this year.
That would follow the pattern
set in the Prince Edward case
on Monday. Although lawyers
for the NAACP in their briefs
had indicated they would ask
for completion of deSegregation
by September. in oral argu-
ments before the court they said
they would ask for completion
by September. 1857.
May Ask Start in Fall
They said they would ask for a
reasonable start" toward de-
segregation by this September
and progress reports thereafter.
1t is believed this is the policy
they plan to follow in Char
lottesville.
Attorneys for the school board
and the State have taken the
position in the Charlottesville
case that it should be dismissed
because the board lis an agency
Of the State of Virginia and The
State has not given its consent
to be sued"

Tertiary.
The judge ordered the 32-year-
old prisoner back to the peniten-
tiary to continue serving a 90
year sentence for the 1853 hold

Eliminated from an earlier

CHEAP 60 FEDERAL POWER

Cheap Federal Power - It's
one of the amazing phonies of
our time!" This observation was
made recently by the Omaha
World-Herald. The editorial went
on to say that Federal power
projects are built with govern
ment money on which interest
rates are lower than cost for
long-term money. No Federal in
come taxes are paid and, with
few exceptions, no state or local
taxes.
Large portions of capital ex-
penditures for Federal power
projects" say the World Herald,
ARE charged off to such COM
pletely subsidized undertakings
as flood control, navigation, and
fish and wildlife development.
Even some administrative costs
are charged to other government
accounts and therefore contribute
to the false picture of low costs
on Federal power generation and
distribution"
The editorial charges that 'left
wing advocates of big govern
ment have magnified the (gov-
ernment power) issue far beyond
the bounds of logic and have
made it political vehicle to
transport them into positions of
authority"
The Omaha World Herald thus
explains why the public power
zealotS persist in trying to foist
politicians power" on the Gus
toner, despite every evidence
that private power development
is better for all concerned-''i is
a political vehicle to transport
them into positions of authority
They selfishly seek to feather
their own nests with callouS dis
regard of what is best for most of
the American people.

Helpful Hints Or
Your Income Tox

NdtHdIllel LOOkeT, columbus
district director, stated that the
attention of the Internal Revenue
Service has recently been called
to number of misconceptions
resulting from the industrial
development in Monroe and
Washington counties. According
to Mr.. LOCKER, some land owners
have been informed that rein
vestment within one year of
money received from the sale of
farms Will eliminate any profit
therefrom being subject to in
come tax even if the reinvest-
ment is in business venture.
Others have been informed that
there is no taxable gain if funds
from the sale of land are rein
vested in United States Bonds.
Mr.. LOCKER points out that
when a land owner sells a farm
on which he resides, he is act
ually selling mixed property
since both business property and
personal residence are involved
The Income Tax Law does afford
relief for such a taxpayer by
providing for nonrecognition Of
gain from the sale OF { personal
residence to the extect that the
money received from such a sale
is expended within one year for
the purchase of a new home.
Taxpayers having this part
cular problem will do we'll to
consult with tax counselors or
the Internal Revenue Service to
assure their returns being pro-
perly prepared, Mr.. LOCKER says.
Otherwise, gains from the
voluntary sale or exchange of
real property are taxable in the
same way as sales or exchanges
of other types of property. There
is no authority in the Internal
Revenue Code providing any tax
exemption for a taxpayer who
reinvests money received from
the voluntary sale of his farm
in business venture, savings
bonds, or any other type of in
vestment, except in a personal
residence transaction as men,
toned above. However, if the
sale of property was not volun-
tary twas condemned or about
to be), different rules govern.
Again, the Internal Revenue Ser
vice should be contacted, giving
full details.
Sale of property may also
make it necessary for taxpayers
to file declarations of estimated
tax. Property owners selling real
estate are cautioned to check this
requirement carefully, as an ad-
ditional charge of six percent is
now imposed by law for under
payment of estimated income
tax, Mr.. LOCKER urges that if a
taxpayer is uncertain, he should
promptly consult q competent
source of information.

School House By The
Side OF The Road ="

Beside a winding country road
Close by a big green tree,
There stood a building painted
white
That we in fancy see.
1t is the country school of yore
Upon its grounds we played,
A place to study and absorb
With a master to be obeyed.
BY foot over pathways daily
Be weather good or bad,
We trekked thru childhood
hardships
But its passing leaves us so
sad,
For within the walls of that
school room
And cherish we ever will,
Memories fond of all of our
school mates
We knew in this knowledge
mill.
A nostalgia feeling runs
rampant
For into our minds there is
slowed
The visions conjured by the
school house
That stood by the side of the
road.
Perhaps we are prone to
admit it,
That time gilds the past with
a glow.
How we hated, we thought, the
hum drum
When each day to school we
must go.
Yet there was an order and
richness
So Favored by books and by
fun,
That now its a shrine to
remember
Since this cycle of life we have
done.
This Landmark of old has long
vanished
AS time marches on as it must,
And changes wrought by its
passing
So often by us is discussed.

american Red Cross
Court House
Caldwell, Ohio
Dear Chairman:
Although the National Red
Cross goal for 1856 was not fully
ttained, it is the opinion of our
,op leaders that our campaign
:hairmen, both local and ma
tional, did an outstanding job.
Furthermore, considering the
contributions at the time of the
Eastern and Western floods, the
American people have contri-
buted more than $10O,0OO,O0O to
the Red Cross during the past
year.
Support of this kind certainly
speaks well of the high public
acceptance of our Red Cross
program and its peacetime objec-
tives. Certainly our slogan of
people helping people" has
never had greater application
than today.
Red Cross success, nationally,
is based upon Individual chapter
progress which in turn hinges
upon the contributions of volun-
teer leaders like yourself. We
are sincerely grateful, both at
the national and state level, for
your services as chairman of
your local Red Cross campaign
this year. Should you have any
suggestion that might prove of
value in future campaigns,
please write me.
Sincerely,

Receipts for the fiscal year
ended Nov. Is, 1856 were
S3,588,353.81, according to the
annual report of the state auditor
100 years ago.
Expenditures of the state last
fiscal year averaged $2,954,357 a
day. In 1856 expenditures for the
whole year were S3,866.297.
Biggest source of state revenue
century ago was a state tax on
grand tax duplicate of $50
million dollars. This produced
2,672,O18.65, Of which about one
half went to the common school
fund.
Main sources of revenue today
are the sales and use tax, S231,-
$751; last year; liquor sales,
$211,055,176 gasoline tax, $117,-
428,60O; sale of highway con-
struction bonds, $104,276,821,
motor vehicle licenses, $780,
003,097.
Such revenue sources were
unknown century ago, but the
state auditor century back
listed many that sound strange
today.
One of these was canal tolls
and water rents, $388, 8,464, the
biggest single source of nOn-taX
revenue in 1856. Another was
the proceeds of convict labor,
&c, of Ohio Penitentiary." This
brought in $56,155.52. The audi
tors report that year lists the
names of individuals and firms
that paid the state for convict
labor, and how much each paid
by months.
Dividends paid the state on
Turnpike and Canal stocks held
by the state accounted for more
than $31, 900 in revenue in 1856.
That was year Of cOnStruc-
ton of the present StatehOuse
and the auditors report shows
carpenters receiving $l.25 to
$1.75 a day, and stone maSons,
$3.50 day.

Secretary Of Stcts Of Ohio

Your Ohio Election Laws re-
quires certain questions be sub
mitted to you, the voter. For
example, the Constitution pro-
vides that no property taxed ac-
cording to value shall be so taxed
In excess of one per cent of its
true value in money for all state
and local purposes. Laws may be
passed, however, authorizing ad-
ditional taxes to be levied out
side such limitations either when
approved by at least a majority
of the electors of the taxing dis
trict or when so provided by the
charter of a municipal corpora
ton.
Thus, taxing subdivision may
levy taxes up to this ten mill
limitation without a vote of the
people. If additional funds are
needed by a subdivision they
must pass a resolution stating
that additional money is neces-
sary; the purpose for which the
funds are needed and the number
Of years such levy is required.
A majority of the members of
the legislative authority must
agree that the levy is necessary
so as to pass this resolution.
This resolution is filed with
the Board of Elections and they
proceed to give public notice of
the coming election on the ques-
ton, print the ballots, therefor,
and conduct the election, using
the same machinery set up for
elections for public offices.
Generally these questions may
be submitted at the time of a
General Election only, however,
special provisions were made in
certain instances to submit such
questions to the voter at a special
election.
