VOL. 13—NO. 36 Tax Slump Hits State Revenue Marshall Wants 18-Year Olds COLUMBIA, Jan. 4—Decline in corporation income taxe* has caused the slump in state rev enue, Otis W. Livingston, member of the State Tax Commission and former income tax division direct or, reported after a study of in come tax detailed reports. For the last six months of 1950 —the first six months of the state’s fiscal year — corporations paid only $2,500,000 into the state treasury in income taxes against payments for the corresponding period in 1949 of $5,700,000. This is a drop of $3,200,000 in corporation income taxes for the six-months period. Most of these are partial payments based on returns made in 1940 and for fis cal periods ending in 1950. Livingston said he was hopeful that some of the slack would be taken up by March 15—deadline for 'iling income tax returns— but added that he was doubtful that it would amount to $3,200,- 000. However, the detailed report showed that individual income tax payments were also off for the six-months period. For this period the income tax collections for 1950-51 are $3,600,000 below those of 1949-50. JURY LIST WASHINGTON. Jan 9 — De fense Secretary Marshall will ask Congress Wednesday for authority to start drafting 18- year-olds July 1 and for exten sion of the compulsory military service period from the present 21 months to 27 or 30 months. Marshall is to be the lead-of! witness before the Senate armed service committee as Congress moves to comply with President Truman’s urgent request for sweeping expansion of the draft law. Defense officials said today the Secretary will tell the committee: 1. It is impossible to meet the three and one-half million-man goal set for the armed forces without amending the Selective Service law, which now affects men aged 19 through 25. 2. The existing draft pool has dwindled to 750,000 eligible men and must be replenished through use of 18-year-old youths. 3. In that age category there are an estimated 1.100,000, and 80 per cent are expected to qualify for military service. 4. The draft law must be tight ened to cut down on deferments and to provide for induction of World War II veterans, if neces sary, through a point system bas ed on overseas service and other considerations. The January term of the Court of Common Pleas will convene on Tuesday, January 23, with Judge Ben Greneker of Edgefield presid ing. The following jurors were drawn for service at this term of court: J. Y. Floyd J. F. Dawkins Edgar L*. Hiller J. Fred Cromer E. L. Price Palmer S. Eargle P. L. Atterway Clin C. Layton Hugh Fellers George Franklin Hannah Joe Eason Robert C. Mayes Carl M. Stuck v Jones M. Bedenbaugh Price Padgett Walter L. Hiller Ira Taylor R. C. Harmon Jack H. Senn Ira T.

Wall James G. Roof R. M. Kelley Fred S. Pope ASK TO SEE PERMITS Secretary of Chamber of Com merce, Cliff Graham, again ask the merchants, heads of all or ganizations and housewives, to please cooperate with the solicita tion committee of the Chamber, by requesting to see permits from each and every solicitor by whom they are approached. The Chamber also suggests to individuals and organizations, not to get high-pressured in sign ing a contract with anyone un til the contract has been thoroughly studied. “Thousands of dollars are being siphoned from Newberry county each year by these methods—dol lars that should be kept at home,” said the Secretary. The Solicitation committee asks the full cooperation of the pub lic in their efforts to elimate some of the rackets that are being perpetrated on them.

Garber told the Methodist Mid-Century Convoca tion tonight that communism Is the chief enemy of religion in Eu rope. \ A former dean of the Duke Uni versity Divinity school, Btshofe Garber has been the Methodist bishop since 1944 of the Geneva, Switzerland, area which embraces nine countries of Central and Southern Europe. Bishop Garber listed six rea sons why religious progress in Europe has^ been difficult since I the war, but said, ‘Christianity has a solid footing In mpst Eu ropean countries despite lid* clamping tactics by the Com munists.' " #; The six reasons he gave were: physical hunger, fear and suspi cion, results of concentration camps, national hatreds, the state- church system and the growth of communism. Of the last reason he said in some countries it has be come necessary for Methodism and other faiths to go underground to survive “the relentless attacks of communism/’ Earlier, the Southeastern Juris dictional Council of the Metho dist Church, which is meeting fg conjunction with the convocation, declared the Methodist Federation for Social Action is not an official body of the church. It also said the federation has no authority to speak for the church and no ethical right to use the “Methodist” l n its title. The federation is the organisa tion which was the center of a nation-wide controversy several months ago after it had tHMgyjPi ferred to as Methodism’s fringe” by Stanley High In a tional magazine article. The council’s stand endoraef the position taken by the South eastern Jurisdictional College of Bishops at its annual meeting last summer. Nationwide Tax On Sales Likely WASHINGTON, a—n. 9—A na tion-wide sales tax was suggested by Senator Byrd (D-Va) today after President Truman said - the nation must be taxed “until it hurts” to finance the huge de- lense program. Aiming at posslbily $10,000,000,- 000 in new reveue—the third big increase since the Korean war started, Congress leader arranged to start work Feb. , 1 on the problem of how to raise money. Byrd told newsmen: “I feel certain that, if the bud get is balanced, Congress not only must cut all non-essential govern ment spending and increase the existing sources of revenue, but also enter new fields of taxation —probably such as a retail sales or transactions tax.” Mr. Truman’s grim statement that “it is necessary to tax until It hurts” was made in a concilia tory letter to Byrd, an ardent economy and pay-as-you-go man with whom he has clashed fre quently on fiscal policy. The Senator made public the letter.

It contained so many worthwhile things that I’d like to give you a few excerpts; I have never had much use for “safes” on shotguns because they are likely to lend a false sense of security to the man handling the gun. When he looks down and reads the word “safe” he is too likely to believe It. All that safety snap does is block the triggers so they cannot be pulled. It doesn't block the ham mers so they cannot fall and hit the firing pins. Guns become worn with use, and no one can tell when a jar might release a hammer. At close rane a shotgun Is more dangerous than a rifle. At lunchtime don’t stand your gun against a tree for you or your dog to knock down. Take out the shells and lay it flat on the ground or across your lap while you eat. If you eat at the car, don’t lean your pet shooting iron against It. Loaded guns have no business indoors, in cars or in boats. If you are jump-shooting ducks from a boat, that is another mat ter, but be sure you know the man behind you. There Is no excuse ever to pass the muzzles of a loaded gun past your shooting partner. It is a good plan to form the habit either of looking through your barrels or aiming at the sky and snapping the hammers be fore you put your gun In the car. (Looking through the barrels • Is the better of the two habits. . . mud wasps have been known to use a shotgun barrel for a nest and block It completely in a' very short time. A skift of snow In the muzzle may not hurt the shooter but it will put a nice bell muzzle on his gun, often giving it a lacy effect. Mud In the muzzle also does a good job. The abomination of field sports is the gang hunt where four or more men hunt together. You can have It. Once in a while a fellow gets roped In on such a hunt and has to go along. I never kill much at such a time. I am too busy watching the other fel lows to make sure they don’t shoot me and that I don’t shoot them. A man should never shoot through brush when a companion is ahead of him even though off to one side. Shot will richochet and do queer things. James C. Abrams, Registrar at Newberry College, has been ap pointed District Governor of the National Exchange Club for the year 1951. Mr. Abrams is a form er president of the Newberry Ex change Club and is now on the Board of Control In the club. National President D. Russell Bontrager notified Mr. , Abrams of his appointment recently.
