BOMB RANGE

Payne emphasized the amount

expenses of the section that would

He said "a California woman has
been considering putting a pickle
plant in the area, but ] guess this
will knock that project in the head

Zuckert said that since the close
of the Korean conflict the Air
Force has been seeking a location
for a practice bombing range to be
used by jet fighter units stationed
at bases in North and South Caro-
lima.
Continuous Training.
"These Tactical Air Command
units require continuous and inten-
sive training in placing weapons on
targets in order to achieve and
maintain the highest possible level
of combat readiness. This training
is the most important phase in a
fighter pilots advancement to COM
bat ready status and is an import
ant element in developing the re-
lated skills of the ground crew and
maintenance specialists" the Sec
retary wrote.
He declared that "the absence of
a suitable nearby range for practic-
ing weapons delivery is preventing
these fighter units from reaching
their maximum potential effective
ness. This requirement for a prac-
tice bombing range in the Southeast
coastal area grows more urgent
daily in light of the international
situation.
Nevada Practice.
"To provide our fighter units in
the Carolinas with as much of this
essential training as we can we
send them on temporary duty to
Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada

"This arrangement has two prin-
cipal disadvantages" he continued

WELFARE ANSWERS
FOR THE PEOPLE !
by
BeRilADETTE W.. hOYle
Sfcfe Welfare Public
Information Officer

(This is the LIST of series ex-
planning public welfare in North
Carolina)
One of the important phases Of
the public welfare program is aid
| to dependent children. This provides
for money payment for needy de-
pendent children who have been de-
prived of parental care and support
because of the death, physical OF
mental incapacity or continued alb
sence from the home of one or both
parents, whether natural, step OF
adaptive.
The public welfare files of North
Carolina are filled with case his
tories of thousands of children who
have been helped toward response
BILE adulthood by aid to dependent
children payments.
One of these cases is the story
of Alice, who was born a spastic.
Her feet and legs were affected by
this spasticity and it was necessary
for her to wear braces for support.
Her mother died when the child was
young. The father by reason of lack
of skilled training was not equipped
to earn sufficient money to give the
child proper medical attention CT
support. After living in various
situations, Alice was finally placed
with an aunt and uncle. An aid to
dependent children grant was made
available for her. She received spec
|ialized treatment for her spastic
condition at an orthopedic hospital
and arrangements were made for
her to attend school.
Although her academic record
was poor, it was considered that she
made excellent progress in social
adjustment. Actually, irregular
school attendance when she was
young and the handicap of her
spastic condition were responsible
for her poor scholastic record.
Paradoxically, this girl plain in
appearance and physically handi-
capped had a burning ambition to
be a beautician. Through skilled
casework services in the county de
partment of public welfare she was
helped to realize this ambition. She
moved to the home of another aunt
who lived in a city which had q
school of beauty culture. With the
cooperation of the Vocational Reha-
bilitation counselor, she was helped
with her expenses at the school. In
addition, the operator of the school
took an especial interest in the girl
and helped her in making the nec-
tessary adjustments. At the same
time, arrangements were made for
her to receive psychiatric treatment
and this helped Alice to resolve
some of her deep-seated and mixed
up emotions.
According to law, aid to depend
en- children payments cease when a
child reaches his eighteenth birth
day. The day after Alice's payments
ended - her birthday w she COM
lpleted her course in beauty culture
Iand received her certificate. She is
now employed and is able to sup
port herself, despite her handicap.
This is an example of how aid to
dependent children helped a child
become a responsible self-support-
ing adult. Besides the glow of per-
sonal satisfaction we feel for Alice
and her success story, there is
another side = the old fact that
Alice, who received the benefit Of
tax money, is now herself a taxpay-
er and contributing member Of
the society that helped her.

The late Gen. Walter Bedell

Tommony's Future at Stake
As Democrats Ballot odoy

NEW YORK, Sept. 7 (AP).
The future of Tammy Hall
as the top political force in
the Nations largest city is at
stake in a Democratic mayoral
primary election today. The
campaign has been bitter.
The opponents:
Mayor Robert F. Wagner,
who has split with the organi-
zation and is running for re-
nomination for a third four
year term with the backing of
insurgents on an "anti-bossism"
platform.
State Controller Arthur Lev
lit, backed by Tarnmany, the
Manhattan organization, and
organization leaders in other
boroughs. Their theme is that
the insurgents are out to rule
or ruin" the party.
Political punditS figure the
outcome could be close.
Clear, cooler weather is fore
cast.
Voting hours are from 8 to
10 pm. (EDT).
In regular elections New
York State polls open early in
the morning-as they do in
most States for both primary
and regular elections.
Pushing the insurgent drive
are former Senator Herbert H.
Lehman and Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, although they are
not seeking office themselves.
.Tammany Chief Carmine G.
De Sapio heads the leaders
backing Mr.. Levitt.
The political future of Mr..
De Sapio, dominant Demo-
cratic leader In the State, as
we'll as the Tammany organi-
zation, hinges on the outcome.

Further, Mr.. De Sapio Is
faced with a spirited election
fight of his own to retain his
Greenwich Village district lead
ership. Should his insurgent
opponent, James S. Lanigan,
defeat him there, Mr.. De Sapio
no longer would be eligible to
head Tammany.
But a triumph for the Or
ganization forces, including a
Levitt victory over Mr.. Wag-

victory over Mr.. Lanigan,

Postal Rate
Rise Backed
By the Associated Press

A one-cent increase in first
class and air mail stamps was
approved 14-5 today by the
House Post Office Committee.
The revival of the bill, after
it was all but abandoned ear
lier in the session, followed a
decision by its supporters to
drop efforts to put a big in
crease on third class mail
users.
The change of heart in the
committee was believed to have
been caused by the realization a
sitter increase might be voted
next year, especially if proposed
wage increases for postal work
erS are granted, as expected.
The Senate Post Office Com
mittee has held no hearings on
postal rate increases this year.
Over $500 Million
The total estimated revenue
in the House bill is slightly over
$500 million, with $425 million
Of that coming from the boosts
in first class and air mail let
ter rates.
The rates on third class mail
largely bulk-mailed adver-
Using matter-would be in
creased by about $50 million
and those on second class, used
by most newspapers and mag
azineS, by SITS million.
The rate rises would go into
effect January /.
The committee was unable to
estimate the precise amount of
the third class increase because
of an amendment adopted that
would permit a lower rate for
holiday greeting cards.
Such cards, mailed at any
time of the year, would go at
4 cents an ounce, if unsealed
The regular third class rate
would be boosted from 3 cents
to S cents per piece. up to 8
ounces, under the bill.
Most at Bulk Rate
However. little third class
mail is mailed at the piece rate
Most of this kind of mail is at
a lower bulk rate.
Committee sources estimated
the greeting card amendment
might knock about $40 million
out of the ST. million revenue
originally expected from the
third class increases.
Another change adopted by
the committee would prevent
delivery of any mail from a
foreign country which the At
torney General finds to be
Communist propaganda.

Incinerutor Site
Selections Urged

The Montgomery Planning
Board yesterday recommended
that the county consider several
sites for incinerators when it
eventually takes over garbage
collection duties.
Agreeing to the county's pro-
posed takeover of those services
from the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission, the board
departed from present plans to
suggest that several sites be
considered to accommodate fu-
ture growth.
The County Council voted
several weeks ago for the take
over, but recommended only
two sites, one at Laytonsville
and one near Rockville.

TAXES

Continued From First Page
Senator Morse accepted the
sales tax increase but by
amending the bill to increase
taxes on cigarettes and alcohol
may have made the bill unac-
ceptable to Mr.. Mcmillan.
The District budget, also
pending, was drawn up and
eventually passed by the House
on the gamble that some tax
bill would be approved by Con-
greSS.
Budget Farley Called
Mr.. McMillan's announced
stand prompted Senator Byrd,
Democrat of West Virginia,
who is chairman of the Senate
District Appropriations Sub
committee, to call a meeting or

Senator Byrd had hoped fol
passage Of the revenue bill be-
fore his subcommittee COM
pleted work on the budget. The
Senator said he feels he car
report a balanced budget Il
the revenue bill fails.
Mr.. Mcmillan, asked what
would happen if the tax bill,
was a total failure, said, wei
have to get along with what
we've got until January"
The increase in the sales ta1
has been estimated to produce
approximately SO million an
nnally. If passed in the last
days of this session, it might
produce approximately IS mil.
lion for this year.
