Senate Columbia, March 5—The Gen eral Assembly’s general appro priations bill — No. 1 piece of legislation at any session—is ex pected to move from the House to the Senate this week. 'Riat will be either one-third or one-half of the road the bill has to travel. Senate , passage would be the other one-third, or one-half, depending on whether the bill has to go to a confer ence committee for adjustment of House and Senate differences. A conference committee gen erally is necessary. When the House and Senate cannot agree on the bill, the final version is that of the committee. The House gave key second reading to the bill Thursday night. Third reading-general-. ly routine for any measure after I some sentiment might shift over the week-end. Legislators often get earfuls of opinion from their constituents while at home. But, assuming that all goes as expected and the House passes the bill in its present form, the measure will reach the Senate Wednesday. It will be referred to the powerful finance commit- longer to pass the bill than does the House. Last week the House passed it in two days. The Senate I does not move as fast. } This was the longest time—at (least in many years—that the House has taken to send the bill to the Senate. The ways and means commute, House coun- terparf of the Senate Finance commitee, took longet to write and to introduce it. Next week is the General As- i sembly’s ninth and it will be mid-March when the 10th week begins. Final adjournment seems unlikely before April and may be even later than that. 'Big Shot' Atomic Blast Rocks Nevada Testing Area Mt. Charleston, Nev. — The fourth and largest atomic blast of the 1955 nuclear test series shook the Nevada desert todaty and gave soldiers 'and airmen another lesson in atmoic warfate. A Ibrilliant flash seen 800 miles away and in six states heralded j the much-post-poned “’big shot” of i the winter-spring tests.. | o-ight was the flash that it temporarily blinded observers at this vantage post 8,900 feet above the Nevada desert and 45 airline miles from the Yucca Flat deto nation site. The Atomic Energy Commission triggered the blast atop a 500ifoot tower right on schedule at 5:20 a.m. to end almost dally postpone ments of this shot since last Fob. neath the tower. The fireball rolled itself into the mushroom cloud and disappeared. The area was marked “safe” by radiological monitoring teams an hour later, and the troops moved into th earea in a simulated man euver. Overhead, fighters and bombers from the Air Force, Navy and Ma rines took part in various simu lated battle plans or went to work checking radiation in the mush room cloud and charting its course. In Lammath Falls, Oregon, 500 miles distant, police Sgt. Oscar Gerlede reported the flash “really lit the sky up.” Gerelede witness ed "one of the earlier flashes ini Klamath Falls and said “this one 1 was a lot brighter.” The flash also was seen in San Francisco. A big white flash lit up the sky from one end of the Hori zon t othe other and then subsided into a red-orange color like the sunset. of overtime work the first of February, increasing production to meet public demand for the all-new cars. Despite the overtime, which has increased Plymouth’s pro duction by nearly 10 per cent, the backlog of orders continues to mount, and is now 24 per cent greater than when the new mod els were first placed on sale m mid-November. At the same time stocks of new Plymouths in dealers’ hands are 26 per cent below a year ago. The local dealers pointed out Plymouth is making every effort to increase production to meet demand in the coming months. January is traditionally the tenth month in volume of sales for selling automobiles at retail, and is generally 25 per cent un der the total number of cars sold during either April or May, cus tomarily the two highest sales months. tee, headed by Sentaor Edgar A.

Nation ally, Plymouth retail deliveries for the month totaled 52,122 and were 63 per cent above the same month last year. This compares with 31,900 Plymouths deliver ed at retail in January, 1954.

There is doubt whether the taxmen will be able to collect anything. The case was disclosed by In ternal Revenue Commissioner T. Coleman Andrews in secret testi mony published today by a House Appropriations subcommittee. Andrews saad the multi-million aire is one of more than 500,000 Americans now living abroad who represent a “most serious prob lem” of tax law enforcement. Andrews said a spot check by a score of revenue agents sent abroad last year disclosed the gov ernment was suffering “large, losses” in revenue because many orf the Americans were not volun tarily filing income tax returns. The agents, Andrews said, “picked up” the case of the multi- millionnaire and a “large number’ - of other cases, including one $20- million tax fraud case. Andrews said Secretary of Treasury George M. Humphrey has agreed to adopt a number of FINAL SETTLEMENT Take notice that on the 9th day of May, 1955, I will render a final account of my acts and do ings as Administratrix of the es tate of Hervey Dingle Rantin, in the office of the Judge of Pro bate of Laurens County, at 10 o’clock a. m., and on the same day will apply for a final dis charge from my trust as Admin istratrix.
