The Treasury says that your

principal place of business. For
instance. if you live and do
some work in Boston, but your
principal source of income is
work in New York, the Treasury
says your tax home is New
York. This means you can't
deduct the cost of hotels and
meals while in New York be-
cause you aren't away from
home when you work there.
But in growing numbers, the
courts have been turning down

Nearo Catholic School In
Arkansas To DeSeqrequte

Pine Bluff, Ark. (ANP) - A
Negro Roman Catholic school here
announced plans last week to open
its classes to white students in
the fall of 1868.
Rev. Joseph Kehrer, pastor of
st. Peters Roman Catholic
Church, which operates the school,
said that when new facilities were
completed in 1868, classes would
be "open to all Catholic children
of the Pine Bluff area"
Kehrer said that the present
school buildings were in a run
down condition and he feared that
parents of white children would
not want to send students to the
school now.
The new building will accommo-
date 240 students in the first
through eighth grades.

Cut Bank, Mont. (ANP) - Mrs.
Charles Nesslein, well-known resi-
dent here, owns what she des-
cribes as a quiet, ordinary Cock
er Spaniel" who has a habit Of
bringing things home" Last week
the dog brought home a muddy
object and spent the morning play
ing with it on the back porch.
Finally, deciding to investigate,
Mrs. Nesslein discovered that the
muddy object was a mans wallet
containing $4,000 - $500 in cash
and the rest in checks - but no
identification. Mrs. Nesslein mott
fled the sheriff and the owner was
finally located. He was Eric Ur-
sure of Minot, N. c., who identified
the wallet and checks.
Reward: Ursure gave Mrs. Ness

mind and when trouble came, they
concentrated on that goal, which
was to do the best they could with
what they had.
Marjorie's mother helped quite
a bit. She taught Marjorie to buy
cheaper cuts of meat and showed
her how to cook them. She also
helped her make her own house
dresses for the coming summer,
and in many ways she kept their
morale high, because she was so
optimistic. (She was not nearly
as optimistic as they thought she
was, but they felt her presence
helped them prepare for the tough
times that did not Gomez.
Now, years later, Marjorie and
Bill are grandparents and their
grandchildren never tire of hear
ing about the period in their lives
when they almost gave up think
ing they would ever finish paying

And Hit The Jackpot!

Avignon, France (ANP)-When
a local tobacconist had no small
change to give a customer making
a purchase last week, he asked:
"Will you take a national lottery
ticket instead?" The customer, a
truck driver, looked askance and
grumbled, but finally took his so
cents in change in the form of a
10th share in one lottery ticket.
Next day, the ticket was drawn
and the truck driver leaped with
joy! His 10th share in the winning
ticket had netted him $4,000 in
cash!

Fraser Urges Congress
TO Review Business
Firms Relationship

State Senator Donald Fraser to-
day called for thorough Congress
sional review of the relationship
of small business to big business
in America.
THE alarming manner in which
most of the steel industry immedi-
ately fell into line with U. S.
SteePs announcement of a price
hike dramatizes the current plight
of Americas small businessman"
Fraser declared.
Fraser who is seeking endorse
ment as the 5th District DF'L Con-
gressional candidate cited a num-
Der of what he termed disturbing
facts" to show that economic pow
err in America is steadily being
concentrated in the hands of a
few.
Ninety per cent of all business
ses in America today employ fewer
than so persons" said Fraser,
but these small businesses are
in danger of being swallowed up
or squeezed out by the remaining
1OT. I know every small business
man realizes this only too well.
Ideally" Fraser pointed out,
Americas free enterprise system
should permit a balance between
large and small business with OPP
portunities and prosperity for both.
Yet during the Eisenhower Ad-
ministration, we saw the growth
of more mergers and monopolies
than at any time in our history.
We witnessed the decline of small
business profits after taxes from
1917 in 1947 to a bare 40 in 1859.
THE Kennedy Administration
is concerned that 9O% of business
failures occur among businesses
with liabilities under 100000 be-
cause it believes that the small
business is an efficient way of
doing business, given the right
economic climate. Businesses that
grow too large actually can grow
beyond the point of greatest eff
ficiency and the consumer pays
for this in many ways.
Furthermore, small businesses
are often created by individuals
having new ideas for improved
products, methods or services, all
of which add to a communtiy's
well-being.
II would therefore urge the
Small Business Committee to re-
double its efforts to protect the
small businessman. Immediately
we should press for getting prime
defense contracts into the hands OF
small business; we must fight
price determinations that place
small business at a disadvantage;
and we must halt contract rigging
that fovors big business.
ALSO, 1 hope we will continue
to revise our tax structure tt
make the concentration of econ
omic power less profitable anc
that we go about to aid small,
business obtain credit and equity
lcapital at reasonable interest rates
to facilitate expansion"

their fuel for the winer, and that
they had enough for their house
payments for year. All he would
have to earn would be enough to
keep their table in food.
So, after they had found a way
to survive, they told Marjorie's
mother that Bill was to be laid off
within two months. Mrs. Johns
wanted to leave for her home at
once so they would be spared that
extra expense, but after assuring
her they wanted her to stay as
planned, she finally agreed to stay.
Bill and Mari found they could
save money quite a few places.
They learned to eat good whole
some food. They found they could
enjoy visiting back and forth with
some of their friends and not going
downtown to movies quite so often.
For the first three months all
went well but as the winter went on
the young couple dug deeper and
deeper into their savings for their
needs. They felt sure Bill would
soon get job but they kept strict
ly to the budget they had figured
out.
When Bill had been off four
months, he received the surprise
of his life. He was asked to apply
for a better position with the gov
eminent. In the hope that he
could pass the examination, he
applied. Then a long wait, but
finally his worries were at an end
because he was hired and would
soon report for work.
How nice for them that they
had been one couple who could sit
down during a family crisis and
figure a way out. They had started

cided it was time to start buying
a home and stop moving every two
or three years. They had man.
aged to save a few hundred dol
lars, which at that time, was equal
to several thousand dollars today.
They looked for several months
before they found the house they
knew they liked. 1t was also in
the price range they could afford.
The price was one they thought
right for them,-the down pay
ment would leave them with a lit
tie reserve cash for a rainy day
they hoped would not come soon.
So, the happy day arrived when
they were to move into their own
home!
Bill was working in the service
of the government and had ten
years seniority. Marjorie and Bill
had been in their home six months
when they decided to invite their
widowed mothers to spend the
Christmas holiday season with
them.
What a lovely time they en-
joyed showing their mothers their
new home, and how proud their
mothers were to be with them at
such a happy period of their lives.
Bills mother had left for her
home but Marjorie's mother was
still there when the blow fell. Bill
came home with long face and
said the government job he had
would be discontinued, and all of
the last men hired would be the
first to go. Bill was one of those
men.
Instead Of getting panicky he
and Marjorie sat down and started
figuring. They found they had
money enough to pay for all of

Plan For Progress
Program Intellectual
NAACP Aide Saws

New York. - The Government s
widely publicized plans for Pro-
gress" program, devised to expand
Negro industrial employment, was
attacked this week as "ineffectu-
al" and diversionary by a leading
civil rights spokesman.
Herbert Hill, labor secretary of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
made the charge in an appraisal
Of the first year of operations of
the Presidents Committee on
Equal Employment Opportunity
which was established last April
z.
Mr.. Hills statement, released
simultaneously here and in Wash
ington on April 5, attributed fail
ure of the program to the Kennedy
Administrations reluctance to
press for full augmentation of
its non-discrimination policies in
the face of southern hostility.
Under guidance of Robert B.
Troutman, Jr., of Atlanta, a men,
Der of the Presidents Committee,
the "'Plans for Progress program
has not produced large-scale OPP
portunities for Negro workers" and
has been used mainly to divert
attention and energy from the
systematic, across-the-board job
which it is Governments RESPONSE
bility to carry out" Mr.. Hill
charged.
The program, he said, is largely
regarded by the major us. Gov
eminent contractors who have
signed it las a way of securing
immunity from real compliance
with the anti-discrimination pro-
visions of their government con.
tracts Thus, the Plans for
Progress is simply an euphemism
for what in previous administra-
tons was called voluntary compli-
ance.'"
Mr.. Troutman, the NAACP
spokesman asserted, has Served
the national purpose in his usual
fashion" - by serving his friends
Senators Richard Russell and
Herman Talmadge of Georgia, and
racial segregation. This is Ibis
role as a member of the Presi-
dents Committee on Equal En-
ployment Opportunity"
OF the 1850 complaints filed
with the Committee during the
first year, Mr.. Hill noted that 44a
were filed by the NAACP includ-
ing 80 against Federal agencies.
The policies laid down in Execu'
tive Order 1925, establishing the
Committee, are sound and repre-
sent "a vast improvement
over the orders of preceding Presi
dents in barring employment dis
elimination" Mr.. Hill said. But
he added, these policies have MOI
been carried out because of feal
lest reactionary conservative for
ces in the Congress strange thu
