Page Fhre ( Workers, Families Filmed In TB Campaign Approximately 300 workers and members of their families at Clinton and Lydia Mills were X-rayed last week as part of the Laurens County Tuberculosis association's home de fense program directed by Mrs. Pliney T. Whitlock, executive secre tary. ~ Two technicians from Glen Cove, N. Y., operated modern X-ray equip ment in the boarding house building at Clinton Mill and the machine shop at Lydia. The cost of the X-ray to the indi vidual was $1.00. The name of each person was photographed on the ! >late, making identification absolute- y certain. Those X-rayed stood in the ma chine for a few seconds while the ex posure was made on a piece of film as large as the chest. After being * developed, the pictures will be read by a specialist and reports given to ' the individuals. Mrs. Whitlock expressed appreci ation to mill officials and others who cooperated in the work. BAT, 1 SAW IT Of THE CHKOpT ICLK.** THANK TOP. MMMHHHMHnillMWMMWMMIIWMMII Dr. Felder SmHh Dr. Duncan S.

Oct. 24.—An increase in the excess profits tax to 95 per t cent, from the present 90 per cent; level, is deemed likely by some quali fied authorities. Representative Knutaon, Republi can, of Minnesota, minority leader on the tak-initiating house ways anfl means committee, told this corre spondent he believed such action might be taken “on the basis of present information,” and the cor poration normal and surtax rates “will be left where they are.” However, he added that additional information might change the trend toward a higher excess profits rate. Other members disclosed that the committee in its closed-door sessions, was sifting repoHfe of huge incomes by Corporations not engaged in war work and whose profits have been swollen by the wartime spending.
