V TBU1 TO OUKSXLVaA, OUB NSIGHBOBS. OUB COUNTBY AND OUB GOD. Forty-First Year Established June 5,1902 McCORMICK, S. C, THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1942 Number 8 This Week in Washington, D. C., July 20.— (NWNS)—The man of average income will pay from two to three times as much income tax next year as he did this year, If the new tax bill, finally ap proved by the ways and means committee of the .house of repre sentatives, becomes law. It is expected that there will be changes in the tax measure and that there may be considera ble delay in its passage, but it 5s quite possible that the income tax part may remain about as the committee has written it. If ft does, a man with an income of $3,000 who has two dependents would pay $172 as compared with the $58 which he paid this year, the man with an income of $5,000 and two dependents would pay $570 instead of $271 and the man with an income of $10,000 wpuld pay $1,880 instead of $1,117. The proposal to limit incomes to $25,000, which has been pushed by labor leaders, was dropped by the committee, although the tax on big incomes is now so high that a man would have to earn over $50,000 a year to keep an income of $25,000 and if his in come was $100,000 he would only be able to keep around $35,000 of it. That, of course, is before consideration of state and other taxes, so that is is quite likely that the man of $100,000 in come would not be able to re tain more than $25,000. The bill lowers exemptions so that" dny single person earning $500 instead of $750, and any married man earning $1,200 in stead of $1,500 would be subject to a tax. Although the new income taxes are very high, the tax bill in which they are included comes far short of the minimum a- mount which the secretary of the treasury said should be collected in taxes this year. In addition to individual in come taxes, which it is estimated, would yield approximately $3,000,- 000.000, the new revenue bill also calls for about $3,200,000,000 from corporation taxes and $800,- 000,000 from excise taxes. More costly to the people than income tax will be inflation, it is the belief of many here, un less Leon Henderson and his Office of Price Administration, are permitted to carry on with their price control program. Al though the OPA was created by congressional action, and al though there are few in either house who will deny that price control is essential to keep prices from skyrocketing, both the house and senate are still refusing to give Mr. Henderson the funds he claims he must have to carry on. It is evident here that this cut in OPA funds has nothing to do with an economy move on the part of congress but is being made to punish Mr. Henderson for not appointing the men the politicians wanted for the OPA jobs. In a statement explaining that the OPA would lose all control over prices if it is curbed as con^ gress has proposed, Mr. Hender son emphasized his stand on the political angle when he said: “We have attempted and are attempting to . recruit loyal and competent Americans strictly in accordance with the price con trol act which specifies that all appointments shall *be on ‘the basis of merit and efficiency’ and that ‘no poUtical test or qualifi cation shall be permitted or given ME McCORMICK, S.

Postmaster J. E. Bell went to his room and found him. He apparently had died ^from heart attack early Saturday* night. Funeral services were conducted at the graveside in the McCormick City cemetery at 5:38 o’clock Mon day afternoon, with Rev. W. M. Owings, pastor of McCormick Methodist Church, in charge, as sisted by Rev. L. K. Simpson, oastor of McCormick Baptist Church, and Dr. S. W. Reid, pas tor of the Pressly Memorial A. R. P. Church. Mr. Stuart was the son of the late Andrew Augustus and Sallie Ives Stuart, pioneer citizens, prominent in the settlement and development of McCormick. He was never married and had lived here all his life. Surviving are two sisters, Mrs. L. M. Parker, Calhoun Falls, Mrs. J. F. Burdashaw, of Augusta; three brothers, F.

Mr. Henderson is greatly dis turbed over amendments approved by the senate committee on ap propriations which would put the appointments of all jobs calling for salaries of over $4,500 in the hands of the President and would give the secretary of agri culture the right to over-rule any price regulation affecting a prod uct made from farm commodi ties. On the amendment to give Secretary Wickard control over prices related to farm goods, Mr. Henderson said: “The amendment in question vas drafted and proposed by the American Farm Bureau Federa tion: It is part of a co-ordi nated program by that organiza tion to destroy effective price control, not only on farm com modities, but on all things made from farm products. I am con fident that the vast majority of farmers themselves repudiate completely these attacks upon the war effort.” In view of congress’ obvious political considerations in prac tically every move it is making as the election draws nearer, it is interesting to note one of Senator Barkley’s recent talks in defense of congress in which he said: *T urge that congress be judged by its total accomplish ments in this great crisis and not by two or three short-sighted or foolish things it may have fallen fnto. As it has arisen magnifi cently to the requirements of its position on all great problems in the past in spite of contests and opposition, it will do so now an in the future in spite of con£ and opposition.” Miss Edith Mae Winn is spend ing her vacation with her moth er and relatives.

That’s why all branches of Uncle Sam’s armed forces are taking to the air. These transport planes may win the war for the United Nations. Fbr they are capable of carrying at least 100 fully outfitted sol diers non-stop to Europe. Besides transporting personnel^ sky trucks are also able to trans port to the very heart of war zones such equipment as Gen. Grant tanks and other pieces of motorized materiel. It was through the use of air borne troops both in transport planes, and in gliders towed by those planes, that the Nazis were able to overwhelm the British on the island of Crete. It is a known fact .that the United States is now making military use of transport planes. The extent to which these planes are being utilized is a military secret. With the production capabili ties of American industry as great as it is, experts say it is not at all fantastic that the United States armed forces will have at least 15,000 sky trucks roaring acros the skies, making life miserable for the Axis gang. The Nazi army, according to accepted reports, has some 10,000 such transport planes, besides reserves of similar and various types. The military striking possibili ties of Uncle Sam with 15,000 transport planes, being used for troop, military supply, and general provisions shipment, is to be reckoned with in the near future. For instance, such transport planes, towing five or six gliders, can mo^e ten tons. Even though a ship can carry 1,000 dead- weigth tons in its hold it can make, say, only one round trip to a war zone port, while a trans port plane can make five or six round trips into the heart of the battle zone. The navy, likewise, has been busy during the past year experi menting with transport planes. It now has in operation a sky giant, the “Mars,” powered by four motors each capable of de veloping 2,000 horsepower. This flying battleship is capable of carrying more than 150 soldiers, fully equipped, non-stop to Eu rope and back. What the outcome of the sky truck development might be is not hard to guess. The possi bilities that if this war lasts long enough, the shipping shortage will be overcome in the air. tion, said here today, calling at tention again to the Cotton Clas sing and Market News services which are provided • free of charge to cotton growers by the Agricultural Marketing Admini stration of the United States De- f »vipnt of Agriculture. These services are available to any yroup of producers who are or- anized to promote the improve ment of their cotton. The official classification helps farmers to get what their cotton is worth by informing them of the quality of their cotton, by enabling them to assemble their cotton in uniform lots, and by at tracting buyers to their communi- ;y because of larger volumes of cotton of uniform quality. It also promotes the production oi better cotton by encouraging co operation among farmers, by pro viding a check on the perform ance of planting seed, by en abling farmers to learn the vari ety best adapted to their com^ munity, and by serving as c check on the care used in pick ing and ginning. Applications may be obtainc: ^ ill be tionize transportation both in this nation and nations connect ed by air with the U. S. It is not fantastic any more to visualize giant sky trucks roaring across the sky with seven or aight gliders in tow. As the plane moves non-stop from :oast to coast, glider planes with their passengers and cargo will be unhooked from the tow to drop down at various airport stations. What is now a military neces- Tty for the coming victory, will develop into a usual daily peace time transportation service. xx Revival Services At Buffalo Baptist Church, Aug. 2-7 Begi: and Augui at th< ting Sunday, August 2nd, mtinuing through Friday, 7th, a revival will.be held Buffalo Baptist Church: will. be »gipni “ night »’clc rv- rvn ^
