Sales Tax Rise
To3Pct. Gets
House Unit OK
Mcmillan PIun
For D. c. Awaits
Floor Action
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Staf Writer

A Dill to raise WaShingtonG
general sales tax from 2 to 3
per cent was reported today by
the House District Committee.
The measure, sponsored by
Chairman Mcmillan and op-
posed by the Commissioners
and the city's major business
organizations, is scheduled to
go to the House floor on
Monday.
The bill was reported at an
executive session today with l6
members present. A committee
spokesman said he thought"
there had been one opposing
vote. Committee members had
said Mr.. Mcmillan, Democrat
Of South Carolina, had empha- =
sized that no information
should be given out on this
point.
The bill was proposed by
Mr.. Mcmillan as a substitute
for the Commissioners recon-
mended seven-point tax pro-
gram.
Package Hope Dim
/ Today's action by the COM
mittee apparently erases any
hope by city officials that Mr..
Mcmillan would relent in his
opposition to the city'S tax pro-
gram.
All but one of the Districts S
proposed tax raises - an in
crease from $3.50 to $3.50 in
the real estate rate-would re-
quire congressional approval.
The Commissioners have au-
thority to adopt an increased
real estate rate.
The six apparently dead tax
rise proposals are to increase
the individual income levy, by
lowering the taxable income
brackets from $4,000 to $4,000;
elimination of exemptions to
the unincorporated business
franchise tax, to take in self
employed professional persons
and others; an increase from
2 to 3 cents in the cigarette
tax; a rise from $1.25 to $3.50
1 per gallon on liquor; doubling
the $3.50 per barrel tax on
beer, and extending the 2 per
cent sales tax to local telephone
service.
Grocery Levy Stands
Mr.. McMillan's bill would
raise the general sales tax
from 2 to 3 per cent, but would
not change the city's l per cent
sales tax on groceries.
Mr.. McMillan's measure may
have rough sailing during the
closing days of Congress. Op-
ponents on the Senate District
Committee include Senator
Morse, Democrat of Oregon,
who is against all sales taxes.

French cuisine is excellent. We
specially liked Coup d'amour.
Hershey is not an incorpor-
ated town as many think. 1t
is strictly controlled, which
keeps out undesirable enter
prises which so often makes a
well-known place a hodge
podge. Seventy percent of the
profits of the Hershey Corpor-
alton goes to the support of
the Milton Hershey School for
Orphaned Boys. Mr.. Hershey
went further than just building
a factory. He built up the en-
tire community with all the
buildings, parks, etc., that
makes Chocolate Town a mecca
for tourists.
What we enjoyed most was
the museum, frequently by
passed by many who are I'M
aware of the treat in store for
them. We luckily caught the
demonstration of the world
famous Apostolic Clock which
took John Fiester IL years to
make. He completed it in
1878. Description and back
ground of this masterpiece
would take a column of space.
We can say the trip is worth
while to see this alone.
Of the many times we've
been in the Dutch country
we've never had typical din
ner the towns are so noted for.
We drove some 40 miles to
Shartlesville to an inn where

style at our table for $2.25. We
wanted to walk back to the
hotel. Instead we're trying to
lose three pounds we gained.

Up My Sleeve

Do you realize when you eat
a chocolate bar that it takes sc
hours to process the ingredi-
ents that go into the candy?
That's what we learned when
we visited the famous Hershey
Corporation in Hershey, Pa. a
few days ago.
Just the mixing of that
creamy, velvety chocolate alone
takes four days, we were told,
as we toured the factory amid
the tempting aroma that leaves
you with pangs of hunger for
the delicious sweet.
AS we went on the 40-minute
tour with many other sight
Seers we became curious about
many things, so we talked to
Richard Zimmerman of public
relations. In his private office
we queried him on various sub
jects. We learned that the
plant, now in full production,
has 5000 factory workers.
Eight hundred other en-
ployes are in offices, 400 in
Hershey and 400 in the COM
pany's warehouses throughout
the country and scattered Of
fees. Production today is about
the same as just after World
War II. While the actual daily
figures are kept a secret for
competitive reasons, one mil
lion pounds of milk are used
daily and delivered from farms
within a 60-mile radius.
One has a natural inclination
to think 'the poor factory
worker" as he views the spot
lessly dressed women doing
the same chore on an 8-hour
shift. But low pay is a thing
of the past. Base pay begins at
$1.64 an hour but the average
worker gets $1.90 to So an hour.
We couldn't help observing the
large number of fat women at
work and wondered if it was
because they ate lots of choco-
late.
We learned, however, we had
seen the early shift which ofder
women prefer. Most of them
are Pennsylvania Dutch whose
diet naturally puts on the
poundage. AS for eating the
candy, Hershey's rule is they
can eat as much as they want
or carry out ali they can in
their stomachs but not other
wise. Broken pieces which
haven't touched the floor or
been exposed to dirt are re-
processed. other damaged
pieces are given to hogs on
nearby farms. Chocolate fed
pigs-no wonder the pork prod
ucts from that area are so
good.
Last year 206,993 persons
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1960-08-25

toured the factory. The tours
are held Monday through Fri.
day from 8:15 to 1890 am.
and noon to 3:15 pm. EST.
During daylight saving time
visiting hours are from 11:25
am. to $3.50 pm. The factory
is closed Saturdays, Sundays
and holidays; vacation time is
usually the first two weeks in
July.
The 57-year-old factory,
founded by Milton S. Hershey,
who was a successful caramel
candy manufacturer, is an in
teresting place to see for any
age bracket. In the past five
years six new items have been
added to production. We had
our taste of chocolate milk,
candy-coated chocolate and had
to give up a hearty lunch be-
cause a generous attendant
caught our eye when we
glanced at a barrel of broken
bitter sweet almond bars (the
large ones) and remarked,
that's the kind we love-" On
lockers drooled as he handed
us the largest piece.
Aside from the factory, the
Chocolate Town, just $50
miles from Silver Spring, is a
place every family should visit.
1t can be done in one day but
we chose to take life easy
browsing around and staying
two nights at the Hotel Her
shey which in itself is like
something out of Hollywood.
Situated some distance from
the business area on a high
hill, it overlookS the famous
rose gardens which were in
full bloom during our visit. The

ton and Corpus Christi. I had over four years in destroyer tenders Dobbin and Dixie before 1 joined the Kearsage and saw my first jet landings and take-offs aboard a carrier We did have three years in Boston and there we brought forth two children. After that tour and one in California, we went to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, thence to Kodiak.
 Helena Vaughn added here that We crossed the country in a jeep with two little boys and a dog. You know, an Alaskan Cadillac. I'm sort of accustomed to this nov ing around because I was an Army brat and as such, lived all over the country til my early teens. Back in 1923 our family drove all the way from the East coast to Ne braska in an open touring car. That was like a covered wagon with a motor. There were no paved roads in those days; it was quite an experience. We took the same ruote in our jeep three months ago and it was so different, it was amazing"
 We wanted to know what the Vaughns liked to do. The Chaplain drawled that he guessed it was raising kids. Helena said, We like to do everything, mostly eat. I like to sew, play the organ and dance to any kind of music whatever. I like interior decorating and my favorite topic is psychology. I've read everything I could get my hands on from Menninger to Ge- zelle. Most chaplains do it now days so their wives have access to quite a bit of information. The

field of pastoral psychology has come into its own in the last ten years and I guess it spills over a little into our family.
 "The trouble with counSeling is that you can't follow through with thirteen thousand people in the service"
 The chaplain interjected here, But sometimes your chickens come home to roost. The Navy gets smaller and smaller the longer you stay in it, and you run into some of these people and see what has happened to them"
 We observed that after all these thousands he has counseled, he is still very fond of people, obviously.
 "Yes, very much, in spite of me. I don't think you can work with people and not like them, can you?" Helena Vaughn said, "You get to appreciate peoples efforts just to live" and the chaplain continued, "You learn to share problems without assuming them" !"
 Do you have any magic formula for children? For bringing them up? Mrs. Vaughn laughed and made swatting motion with her hand eff you just appreciate the humor of children you can get along with them most of the time. There's nothing funnier than to see a little boy run down an alley and jump on a horse. He throws his leg over in the act of mounting, and thud =. he for gets the horse isn't there. His imagination is so wonderful that he believes in it with all his heart"

 This so intrigued me that in April l asked her to marry me. We were married just in time to start for San Francisco and my new station. We crossed the country in a hundred dollar car with a broken front spring and got to San Francisco on May 23, 1943. Four days later I left on ship.
