even though they owe no income
tax. Normally, no self-employment
tax is due unless net earnings
from self-employment amount to
S4OO or more for the year. Far
mers who have actual net earn
ings from the operation of their
farms of less than S400 may, un-
der certain circumstances, elect
to pay the self-employment tax
and thus bring themselves in line
to receive benefits under the So

pointed out.
The self-employed tax rules,
together with rules pertaining to
the Federal income tax, are ex-
planned in the instruction booklet
which farmers will receive in the

who have unusual or complicated

which proved so helpful to farm
ers last year, may be obtained by
calling or writing to the district
directors office at Columbus,
Ohio.
For those who find they need
help in preparing their income or
self-employment returns, Mr..
LOCKER said that assistance will
be available from the local office
of the Internal Revenue Service,
both by telephone and in the Off

taxpayers fill out their own re-

Engineer At OSU
Says Power Need
On Big Increase

If your home is adequately wired
you should be able to turn on all
the lights and appliances you want
to use at one time without over
loading the electrical wiring, says
D. M. Byg, Ohio State University
extension agricultural engineer.
This means you should have at
least a 100-ampere service en-
trance, and if you're thinking a.
head to air conditioning and cleo
trio heating you should consider a
2O0-ampere entrance.
Modernizing your wiring to give
full horsepower" doesn't mean
you always have to tear out the
old entrance switch, Byg says. It's
often possible to place new swift
ch beside the old one. The combin-
ed capacity will be enough to take
care of all the branch circuits and
special equipment.
Be sure to notify your electric
power supplier when the service
entrance is to be expanded, BYG
Recommends. The power supplier
may need to increase the wire size
from the transformer to the meter
in order to furnish all the power
you need. This wire belongs to the
supplier and will be changed with
out cost to you.

Springfield Couple Have Unusual
Business; Result OF Chance Meeting

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, A
chance meeting 20 years ago
with a collector of semi-precious
stones started James w. and Mar
lie S. Riley of nearby Dalton on
the road to a thriving business.
The Rileys operate one of the
few lapidary shops in this part of
the country and their business is
located obscurely, 13 miles north
west of Springfield at crossroads
called Dalton.
But they derive their trade from
all parts of the country. according
to Mr.. Riley, who keeps a log
book with signatures of guests and
customers in the store. People
who want to find us will find us
no matter where we are" he said
recently.
THE RILEYS began collecting
agates, jades and other sen1i-pre-
cious stones in the western part of
the United States, gathered thous-
ands OF pounds which they now
put into use in their shop. Besides
their personal collection, they have
imported stones from numerous
foreign countries.
ITS natural for people to like
pretty stones" Mr.. Riley explain
ed. Stone-cutting has experienced
a tremendous surge in popularity
IN this country among lobbyists
during the last 20 years, he added.
The idea started while Mr.. Riley

Under the Federal Social Sc

Orland Hays.
She requested no bond, and
Sheriff Hays said she refused to

DISCREPANCIES in the activi-

Mrs. Walls then Beverly Click

a period of about Is months. -
A 1852 graduate, Mrs. Walls
started working in the principals s

graduation, she stepped into a per-

MRS. WALLS was dismissed
Nov. 18, 1855, during the early de-
velopment of the discrepancies.
Principal Trace said her frequent
absence from work was the imme-

She has been living in Columbus

Next day, my wife and i were

Riley recalled.
Many of the same locations in

Blood Emergency

Having had a dramatic demonStra-
ton of the value of its blood bank drive
last year, the Connecticut Avenue AsSo-
citation is UNDERSTANDABLE determined to
increase the scope of a similar blood
campaign this year. The new effort, to
be made on Washington's birthday Feb
ruary %, is we'll timed, for right now the
Red Cross reserves of whole blood to meet
life-or-death emergencies are danger
ouSly low For three-day period last
week, in fact, the organizations supply
was 500 pints below minimum needs.
Members of the businessmen's asSo-
citation are spurred by the knowledge that
the only blood available last February to
treat victims of railroad wreck near
Fort Meade was supply of 275 pintS
collected only the day before through the
associations cooperation. Once again
the Connecticut avenue merchants will
devote their holiday to assisting the Red
Cross in obtaining blood whichTmay save
the lives of their fellow citizens. A special
blood donor center will be set up in the
Mayfiower Hotel through the courtesy of
the management. The associations un-
usual community service merits the
wholehearted support of our citizens.

Mr.. Gray for Mr.. Fiemninq

President Eisenhower is replacing one
good man with another in selecting Cor
don Gray to succeed Arthur S. Flemming
as Defense Mobilization Director.
A North Carolina Democrat who has
said he voted for Mr. Eisenhower, Mr..
Gray has served with distinction in both
the Truman and the Eisenhower admin
istrationS. Under President Truman, he
was Assistant Secretary and later Secre-
tary of the Army. Along with his admin
istrative duties in these posts, he headed
special studies on the military reserve
program and on the transition of our
European economic aid program to one
giving greater emphasis to strengthening
the Western military defenses against
possible Communist aggression. From
1850 to 1865, when he joined the Essen
hover team as Assistant Secretary of De-
Tense for International Security Affairs,
he was president of the University Of

ington," also has been an outstanding
public servant under both Democratic
and Republican administrations here He
was called to Government service first
in 1889 by the late President Franklin
Roosevelt, who made him a member of
the Civil Service Commission. During
World War II, he was member of the
War Manpower Commission and chair
man of its Labor Management Policy
Committee. In 1913, he left Government
to accept the presidency of Ohio Wes-
leyan University, his alma mater. In
1851, he took leave of absence from that
post to return here as Director of ODM.
For the'past two years he has expressed
his desire to return to the university,
but has acceded to President Eisen-
hower'S personal wishes that he remain
in charge of the mobilization agency. He
has agreed now to continue on the Presi-
dents Advisory Committee on Govern
ment Organization and there is reason
for qualification that his unusual abilities
will remain available in the public service.

However. the condition of
the textile worker. so far as
hours and pay are concerned,
is better than it ever was. In
my day we worked So hours

Now the textile worker re-
ceives more for an hours

work. And the work week is a
standard 40 hours, with time
and one-half for overtime,
whereas in the old days there
was no extra pay for over
time. even though some of
us worked 80 or more hours
in a week, when conditions
demanded.

the principal thing that tex
tile workers have to fear is
being pushed out of business
in the near future by the

Il The most tangible thing which
emergeS from the communique covering
King Saud'S visit is the five-year extern
sion OF the agreement covering American
use OF the strategic Dhahran Airfield,
We do not think, however, that this is
by any means the sole fruit of the con-
versations which King Saud has had with
the President and Secretary Dulles.
7 AS generally is the case, much Of
the language in the communique is on
the vague side. The two governments
are pledged to exert efforts. to settle
Justly" problems of the Middle East "by
peaceful and legitimate means within the
framework of the United Nations Char
ter" It is stated that ANY aggression
against the political independence or ter
ritorial integrity of these middle East
nations and the intervention from any
source in the affairs of the states of the
area would be considered endangering
peace and stability" and such actions
would be opposed in accordance with the
purposes and principles of the In.
The King indicated his purpose to
continue close cooperation with the
United States and carried the expressed
wishes of other Arab leaders to improve
their relations with the United States"
Finally, the President explained his
Middle East proposals and the King ere
ceiyed with satisfaction this exposition"
Precisely what the meaning of all
this will turn out to be must await de-
velopments. 1t seems, to, us, however, as
a minimum proposition, that q good re-
lationShip has been established between
the King and our chief, officials, that
doubts which the King may haye enter
tanned as to the intentions of the United
States have been largely removed, and
that there is reasonable prospect that
King Saud, upon returning to his own
! country, will prove to be valuable ally
. in clearing away those Arab suspicious
and distruStS which are such a formidable
barrier to real settlement in the Middle
East.
If even this much turns out to be
the case, his visit to the United States
will have been very good thing for all
concerned-and a worthy object lesson
to those who greeted him with such
studied rudeness when he arrived in New
York City.

BeItsviIIe Airport

The Maryland Flyers Asso-
citation cannot understand why
the Government apparently is
being blackjacked into spend
ing 35 TO so million tax dollars
for ali airport at Burke when
a far better land closer site
already belongs to the Govern
ment at BeltSville, Md.
Frankly. we suspect there
must be some sort of con-
spiracy going on when the air
lines are told that Friendship
is the only alternate available,
in order to make the Burke
site seem desirable.
The Beltsville airport was
constructed during 1912 on a
tract OF 40 acres as an Air
Support Command base for the
defense of Washington under
the World War II defense pro-
gram. Upon completion. use of
this facility was not deemed
necessary for its intended pur-
pose and the airport has never
been utilized for aviation pur-
poses.
Beltsville airport is located
on and surrounded by vast
acreage owned by the Govern
ment and operated by the De-
partment OF Agriculture. The
airport is not over two miles
from the Baltimore Washing
ton expressway, about a 30
minute drive from downtown
Washington or downtown Bal
timore. AT present there are
two paved runways, one 1850
feet in length, the other 4,400
feet in length. They are both
$50 feet wide and have all nee
esSary construction to make
them complete and serviceable.
Beltsville airport could be eX-
banded for a small fraction Of
Burkes cost.
We are opposed to Friend
ship because of distance; we
are opposed to Burke because
of cost. distance and increas-
ingly heavy auto traffic be-
tween Burke and Washington.
IL is easier and cheaper to
displace turkeys than people.

No Comfort to Communism

King Hussein, the youthful ruler of
Jordan, has made an unexpected and
strong appeal to his own parliamentary
government to recognize the real. threat
to peace and security III the Middle East.
1t is, in short, c0IhfaIinisniL the design
of Soviet Russia to fasten upon the area
"a new type of colonialism, from which
we might be unable to redeem ourselves"
Bluntly, he reminded Premier Nabulsi
that the danger of Communist infiltra-
ton already is evident in Jordan, and
that its spread is being helped by "those
who boast of Arab nationaliSm while they
mislead nationals by cooperating with
the Arabs enemies"
Considering the source and the tim
ing of the remarks, this is strong Ian
guage. For during the past year Jordan
has moved steadily away from its long
time close relationship with the West,
particularly with Britain, and has be-
come increasingly identified with the
extreme nationalist bloc that has evolved
under Egyptian leadership The Kings
warning, contained in letter to Premier
Nabulsi on the eve of negotiations for
termination Of the mutual defense pact
with Britain, was given wide circulation
in press and radio. Under these circum-
stances, 1t looks like bid for popular
support in opposition to the current
political tide in Jordan, and perhaps
warning to Cairo and Damascus that they
are playing dangerous game in counting
Russian favors. Indeed the message may
even have special appeal to Egyptian and
Syrian public sentiment in It's reminder
that the Eastern camp" dominated by
Russia originally was a strong supporter
Of Israel and helped the zionists "usurp
Palestine"
1t is not likely that Hussein's re-
marks will avert termination of the pact
with Britain, or that he really had such
a purpose in mind. They may serve,
however, to restrain extremists in his own
government and serve notice on Cairo
and Damascus that their policies are not
nnquestioned Along with King Saud's
expressions Of friendliness here, and
Iraqs unequivocai pro-Western commit
ment, ,Husseins message is encouraging
evidence that large segment of leader
ship in the Arab world is fully awake TO

Direct Approach

1t is regrettable that King
Saud entered this country at
New York City and was hardly
received in the manner befit-
ting his position. We non-New
Workers sense an embarrass-
ment. Since the Capital City
is the place where all visit
ing dignitaries invariably are
headed to interview our Chief
Executive, why not accent the
approach to Washington?
My idea would be to widen
and deepen the channel Of the
Potomac River all the way
from Chesapeake Bay to the
Navy Yard, to accommodate
ocean-going vessels. Surely the
Capital, with the eyes of the
world upon it. would be en-
HANGED in so many ways with
an international waterway to
our very door. The Potomac,
as it winds its picturesque
way in a tortuous' route from
the bay, would provide a
pleasant finale to the journey
and set a favorable mood for
the Washington visit. At the
same time our visitors would be
relieved Of the tension attend
ing several changes in trans
portation.
1t is time that we began to
emphasize the water approach
to Washington. With such
natural resources at our door
we are losing a golden oppor-
tunity TO transform a great
potential, and instead are
spending time worrying about
It's sanitary menace. There is
lots Of water IN that river, so
why not direct some funds into
that channel? Cora Z. " lson,
