Nickel 'Devaluation1 Hits
Georgia Town, Starts Fuss
Eaton, Ga., U.R The city council devaluated the nickels and
got a taste of the trouble Bntian is having with the pound sterling.
The value of the nickels went down when the council upped
the price of soft drinks by levying a penny tax. The bottling
business promptly went to pot
Some stores quit selling soda
pop altogether to escape the ire
of small fry customers.
Some stores absorbed the tax
themselves to keep the drink at
market value.
Other stores posted signs
reading:
"All five-cent drinks, six
cents."
A group of merchants circu
lated a petition for repeal of the
tax.
One bottling company refused
to solicit business within the
city limits. Owners of automatic
dispensing machines that handle
only five-cent coins were frus
trated. A vendor who tried placing a
"tax box" at the side of the
machine for collection of pen
nies remarked later: "You'd be
surprised how little honor some
people have when it comes to
paying taxes."
The city council, however,

The prize at stake. Kashmir
itself, is a snow-peaked princely
state roughly the size of Min

Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tibet
Sinkiang and Russia.
The fight for control of Kash
mir started In October, 1947,
when Moslem tribesmen swept
into the stale from the west to
"liberate" its people from the
rule of a Hindu maharajah.
The maharajah had not de
cided whether to Join this state
with Hindu India or Moslem
Pakistan, but as the raiders ap
proached his palace at Srinagar
he quickly joined India.
Indian troops poured into the
state that autumn and easily
drove the raiders out of the cen
tray valley, only to meet Pakis
tani regulars entrenched In the
mountains beyond.
Though what followed was
never a declared war, it was
fought with all the fury of one
with planes, tanks, bombs, ar
tillery and even knives. When
the cease-fire came, India held
about two-thirds of the state and
Pakistan one-third.
