What will be the conse quences if I am not able to file my 1961 return by April 16? A. A penalty will be imposed unless you had a reasonable ex cuse for not filing the return time ly. The penalty is 5 per cent for each month (or fraction of a month) that the return is late, but may not exceed 25 per cent. In order for the penalty not to be imposed, you must be able to show that the cause for late filing was reasonable. Consequently, you should attach a statement to your return ,if it is filed late, describ ing the circumstances which caused the late filing. In addition to the possible penalty, interest at the rate of 6 per cent per year must be paid on individual income tax not paid on or before April 16. Q. I purchased several Series E. U. S. Savings Bonds in 1961. How should I report the interest earned on these bonds? A. You may defer reporting the interest until the bonds are ma tured or cashed, in which case the interest is included in income that year; or you may elect to report the interest each year. If you so elect, the amount of interest to be included in your income each year is the increase in redemption val ue. Once you elect to report the interest each year, you must con tinue to do so for all Series E bonds owned and those subse quently acquired. You may not change to the deferral method un less you first receive permission to do so. Q. I am suffering from a se vere heart ailment. On the ad vice of my physician, I had an elevator installed in my home in 1961 to prevent strain on my heart caused by walking up and Attention! All Cotton Farmers The County Agents Office re ports the past three days average soil temperature is 58 degrees.

Union Defeated At Champion In two NLRB elections recently, North Carolina employees of Champion Papers Inc. soundly re jected the International Brother hood of Pulp, Sulphite and Paper Mill Workers, CIO. '' At Champion’s Carolina Divis ion, Canton, North Carqlina, the vote was 1582 for no union and 421 for the AFL-CIO. At the Waynesville, North Carolina plant, the vote for 94 for no union and 39 for the AFL-CIO. In February of this year em ployees of the Ohio Division, Ham ilton, Ohio, rejected the United Papermakers and Paperworkers, AFL-CIO, 1659 to 427. On March 14, employees of the Texas Division, Pasadena, Texas, rejected another AFL-CIO union, the International Chemical Work ers, by a vote of 733 to 364. Committee Is Commended The following Concurrent Reso lution was adopted by the South down steps. Is the cost of in- t Carolina House of Representatives s.%- stalling the elevator a deduct ible medical expense? A. If the installation of the ele vator increased the value of your property, the cost of installing it will not be allowed as a medical expense deduction. On the other hand, if competent appraisals in dicate that the elevator did not increase the value of your proper ty the cost of installation is a de ductible medical expense. Q. My husband died in 1961. His income tax return, which has been prepared but not filed, shows an overpayment of tax. What should I do in order to re ceive the refund? A. You should file the return which will also serve as a claim for refund for the overpayment of tax. Form 1310, Statement of Claimant to Refund Due on Be half of Deceased Taxpayer, should be completed and necessary docu ments attached thereto when fil ing the return. This form may be obtained from the local office of your District Director. |t Charm School Begins Today Interested women are reminded of the Charm School to be held in Newberry today and tomorrow, conducted by Miss Alice Bell, and sponsored by the Newberry Busi ness and Professional Women’s Club.

The body was taken by the Whitaker Funeral Home to Valley Head, Ala., where burial services were held Sunday WASHINGTON AND SMALL BUSIN C. w (J Xm By C. WUS O SENATOR STRO HURMOND Reports PEOPLE Special Legislation THE AMERICAN people have just been furnished with prime examples of judicial and execu tive legislation without the con sent of the legislative bodies of the National or State Govern ments. The Supreme Court has, as in its 1954 desegregation decision, again reversed all previous prec edents and by a modern inter pretation of the 14th Amendment opened the door for federal court regulation of representation in State Legislatures. -In the Exec utive Branch, the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare has announced that payments to non-integrated school districts to meet education costs for children of federal employees who live on federal property and therefore pay no local taxes are to be with held beginning in September, 1963, until they do integrate. Similar action against funds for children of federal employees who do not live on federal property will be attempted soon. THE COURT decision in the reapportionment case is one of the most dangerous decisions ever handed down affecting the rights of the States. It ranks on a par with the 1954 desegregation de cision. That decision was likewise picked out of the air for the pur pose of remedying what the court considered an “evil” which the States and the Congress had re fused to cure. Court decisions of long standing have repeatedly held that the question of repre sentation in the State Legisla tures is a “non-justiciable” issue —that is, one which is political in nature and therefore to be han dled by the people in constitution al reforms or by legislative action within thp States. THE EXECUTIVE action against what has been called fed eral aid for federally-impacted school districts, but which more properly should be termed pay ments in lieu of taxes, constitutes the rankest type of economic blackmail. The Congress has never authorized the imposition of integration as a condition for fed eral payments to the States. In fact such proposals have been re jected on several occasions. THIS ORDER also contradicts RibicofF and other federal officials previous assurances by Secretary that controls, especially integra tion controls, would not follow the dollar, particularly in federal aid to education. These assurances had been given to win passage of a general federal aid to education bill. Now, however, the control cat is out of the bag and the Ad ministration will be able to lure few, if any, Southern votes to get its aid bill through Congress. Some of us have warned for years that federal control follows aid and that federal funds for educa tion would be used to force in tegration of the races. THE DEFENSE Department has announced a proposed action which has also been rebuffed by the Congress on previous occa sions. This plan, the reduction and reorganization of Army Reserve and National Guard strength, will, however, be submitted to the Congress for approval. It will have a particular impact on the 51st National Guard Division, most of which is in South Caro lina. THIS REORGANIZATION plan will meet with much opposition in the Congress when it is con sidered by the Senate and House Appropriations Committees and by the House Armed Services Committee, which is currently in vestigating the recent Reserve and National Guard callup. There were difficulties encountered in the callup which must be reme died. I cannot, however, under stand how elimination of 58,000 Reservists and Guardsmen will help, particularly at this time when the world situation is so critical and we already have thousands of Reservists and Guardsmen on active duty. WHAT IS needed essentially, and which has been needed for some time, is more attention to quality training and equipment for these forces so that they will be combat-ready when they are called to active duty. After all, this is the purpose of Reserve and Guard forces—to be prepared for duty and to be maintained at a much lower cost than active duty forces. CERTAIN ASPECTS of this plan will face rough sailing in the Congress, which has always sup ported strong, combat-ready Re serve and Guard forces. Sincerely, dfcCetvt* iA/urtMiMTul There still appears to be no solution to the >arm problem despite the fact that storage costs on surplus government supported farm products are running better than a million dollars per day. * • * Is there a solution? A study of the milk industr y would seem to indicate that there is not, because here i« an in- dustry in which it would seem the combined efforts of Big Business, Big c . W. Harder Labor and Big Government have been to the detriment. * * * ! According to the Milk Indus try Foundation, the per capita consumption of whole milk in the U.S. has declined from 825 pounds in 1939 to 678 pounds in 1959. Since 1950, the decline has been quite rapid. * * * Other sources show that since 1950, over 30,000 indepen dent dairy distributors have been driven out of business by the big dairy combines. Today, practically the entire milk in dustry is monopolised by three big combines. * * * Since 1950, the Jimmy Hoff a forces have gained a strangle hold on the distribution of milk. Milk Foundation figures show the average price of a quart of milk in 1947 was 19.6 cents per quart, by 1960 it had jumped over 6 cents to an av erage of 25.7 cents. * * * Milk Foundation figures also show in 1959, on total consumer purchases of fresh milk total ling 1% billion dollars, farmers received only $3H billion, while labor got $1H billion. © National r»der»tlon at Ind«pBiulnw But while retailers only re ceived $344 million, federal, state and local taxes took $209 million out of the milk industry on fresh milk sales alone. * * * But the dairy farmer In 1959 on milk selling over 25 cents per quart, received less than 10 emits per quart. * * * Big Business, Big Labor and and Big Government, all got theirs out of the quart of milk, and the dairy is faced with a continually declining market for this product. e * e There are many reasons for the decline of milk consump tion. Some claim that people are turning away from a taste for milk. Others attribute the steady consumption decline to some new medical theories on heart disease. oo* However, the real answer would appear to be in another area. While people will seem ingly pay any price for the milk children need, there is a limit on the price adults will pay for milk for their own con- sun \pt ion. * * * It is interesting that the per capita consumption of milk in the U.S. is now below that of any country of Europe except Italy where production is low. Even heavy wine drinking France consumes almost 50% more per capita than the U.S. * ♦ * Thus, there seems to be in dicated that the solution to the U.S. problem is not to pay farmers for milking less cows. * * * It would be Interesting to see what would happen if free enterprise were brought back to the milk monopolies, un hampered by Jimmy Hoffs, and unhampered by federal, state and local tax collectors. This is quite a radical idea, but it might work.
