Big Money Bill
Now Before
S. C. 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

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

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

from the Air Force, Navy and Ma
rines took part in various simu

course.
In Lammath Falls, Oregon, 500
miles distant, police Sgt. Oscar
Gerlede reported the flash “really
lit the sky up.” Gerelede witness

The flash also was seen in San

Plymouth Car Sales
Are Greatest During
Month Of January
The sale of Plymouth cars dur
ing January was the greatest for
any January in Plymouth’s 27
year history, it was reported.
Cooper Motor Co. and Plaxico
Motors, local dealers, said Ply
mouth cars are in greater de
mand here than ever before at
this time of the year. 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.

Income Taxes
Washington.—-Government tax
collectors are no the trail of a man
worth from 150 to 200 million dol
lars who apparently has never
paid any income tax. 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

Nearest...?
Some people go years without much attention to health.
Others may need the Doctor on hand to start the day—
every day. Between these two extremes are great numbers
of thinking people caring for their health in an orderly manner.
They see their Doctor at regular intervals for guidance.
They take the medicine he prescribes according to direction.
They report unusual symptoms promptly. All these are com
mon sense precautions and intelligent steps in health core,*
as is the practice of bringing your Doctor’s prescripHons to
