uals beyond $250 a month.
The proceeds would go into a
poo! and would be divided among
people eligible for benefits. These
folks would get a check every

Branded As Fantaitlo
And with the idea of keeping
the money circulating thus pro
viding more income and earnings
to be taxed and more money for
pensions the recipients would
have to spend each Installment
within 30 days.
Opponents say the whole idea
Is fantastic sort of like holding
yourself up by your bootstraps.
And so far they always have
managed to beat back the Town
sendltes. But the Townsend people prob
ably will be around knocking on
the door when the Senate Fi
nance committee starts hearings
next year on expansion of .ic
present social security system.
The House already has passeu a
bill to enlarge it and it's up to
the Senate committee to act next.

Curtin Boy Cited
For Effort In
Oregon Green
An 11-year-old Curtin boy is
among 81 boys and girls through
out the state who have been cited
by the Keep Oregon Green as
sociation for outstandinf efforts
during the past summer in re
ducing man-caused forest fires.
Bruce Newlin, 11, will receive
a special "Service Under Fire"
badge for actually participating
in the reporting or suppressing
of a fire, according to Albert
Wlesendanger, executive secre
tary of the Keep Oregon Green.
Bruce is a member of the Ore
gon Green Guards, the youth ac
tivity of Keep Oregon Green.
Awards are made each year to
the boys and girls who have done
outstanding service to their state
in fire prevention beyond' the
usual rail of duty.
In most cases the youthful cit
izens reports grass, brush, and
forest fires. In some cases they
actually fought the fires. The
alertness of these youngsters has
been of tremendous help, Wlesen
danger explained, for fires
caught before they have a chance
to spread art easy to put out.
To qualify for a "Service Under
Fire" badge, a Green G ua r d
must submit an acutal report of
his individual effort together with
the certification of an adult.
Many more of the 30,000 Green
Guards undoubtedly qualified lor
the honor, Wlesendanger said,
although they did not sent in
their reports.

King said eligible veterans still
have almost eight years in which
to use their loan guaranty rights.
"In view of thl and the fact
that it Is a benefit which may be
used but once, veterans should
consider all factors carefully to
avoid rushing Into what may

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 CP)

event of war would be aimed at
Boston, New York, Baltimore,
Norfold, Seattle, San Francisco

Hugh J. Knerr, Ret., would be
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit

In an article In the current is
sue of Nation's Business, a mag
azine published by the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce, Knerr
called America's harbor cities
perfect atomic targets.
Threee atomic bombs, he said
would "kill" New York harbor
and every ship in it. Less than
a score more bombs, he added,
would deprive this country of its
principal ports for "the initial,
perhaps the decisive, phase of
the war."

pany were atoned today, a few
hours after publication of the

one mile wide In Attala county.

Nuisance Taxes
Slated For Exit
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 UP)
Two Democratic senators pre
dicted today that Congress will
junk some of the so-called nui
sance taxes on goods and serv
ices. Senators Tydings (D-Md) and
Edwin C. Johnson (D Colo) said
In separate Interviews they be
lieve the next session will repeal
many of the wartime excise lev
ies. There were reports at the
same time that Chairman George
(D-Ga) of the Senate Finance
committee and Chairman Dough
ton (D-NC) of House Ways and
Means committee will sit down
earlv in January to try to agree
on a repeal bill. i
George is understood, to iavor
removal of the present levies on
transportation and communica
tion, as well as action to scale
down some of the other taxes.
Tvdlngs told a reporter he Is
convinced that if the nuisance
taxes were taken off some items
such as jewelry, cosmetics, lug
gage and furs, increased sales
would boost income and other
taxes to the point where the
treasury wouldn't lose much, if
any, net revenue.
Johnson said ne tninKs mere
isn't much doubt that Congress
will vote to repeal some and trim
other excise levies, uut ne saia
that with red ink spending still
going on he doubts that all of
them can be removed.

world in its weak attempt to get
the U. S. consul general freed
from a Chinese jail in Mukden.

Strategic Goods
Reaching Russia
WASHINGTON UP) Over a
three-month period, the Com
merce department says, it block
ed efforts by Communist-controlled
nations to slip some $5,000,
000 worth of allaleglc goods out
of this country.
Secretary of Commerce . Saw
yer reported that in a report to
President Truman and Congress
on export control activities from
July through September.
Sawyer didn't amplify the
statement, but other officials
said attempts were made to
evade U. S. regulations by first
shipping the strategic goods to
non-Communist nations, then re
shipping them to members of the
Soviet bloc in Eastern Europe.
The Commerce department
said it prevented this plan from
working by halting certain ship
ments apparently destined for
such places as Italy, France, Bel-
fium, The Netherlands, Sweden,
witzerland, Turkey, India and
Egypt.
The materials Included chemi
cals used for making explosives,
certain electrical machinery,
rubber products, aviation gaso
line and other critical products.
The United States has banned
shipments of strategic items to
Soviet nations since March, 1948
on grounds that such goods might
increase Russia's ability to wage
war.
