Artificial Limb Making Now Applied Science Los Angeles U.R) The art of making artificial limbs, for many years handed down from father to son, has been turned into an applied science at the University of California at Los Angeles. The UCLA course in prosthet ics has been organized to collect data on the best standard prac tices in developing artificial arms, the type of limbs to pre scribe, and methods of training the amputee. Since the start of the study unit some 42 cases have been ex amined under the leadership of Dr. Craig L. Taylor, professor of engineering. The course is sponsored by the Veteran's Administration in co operation with the Armed Forces under the supervision of the ad visory committee on artificial limbs, National Research Coun cil. Wages and salaries usually ac count for at least half of the total costs of retailing, according to a Twentieth Century Fund sur vey. Every other day for more than two years, a specially fitted B-29 of the U. S. Air Weather Service has taken off from Alaska for the North Pole.

March 9. 1932 Columbia Utilities Company Reports Modernization Jobs The Eagle Point exchange of the Columbia Utilities company has been converted to common battery operation, it was an nounced today by D. O. Hood, president. He said that the move is in preparation for conversion to dial phones there. When Eagle Point is changed to dials, it will mean that the entire facilities of the company are of modern design and con struction. With the change to common batteries, Hood said, the last of the company's magneto, or hand crank, phones has been taken out. Expects Equipment Hood said he expects to be able to obtain equipment for dial phones at Eagle Point and Camp White this year, or early next year. Heavy demands by defense industries have so far prevented manufacturers from filling new orders for commercial operators. On Saturday the utilities com pany cut over to dial operation at Merril, and the week before the Oakridge exchange was con verted to dial. Work on construction of new; copper toll circuits between Reese Creek and Shady Cove, to replace temporary iron wire fa cilities in that section, will gel under way next week and are expected to be completed by May 1. The company is also making progress on a major ca ble installation in the Shady Cove exchange area ta replace temporary field wire facilities which had been necessary to meet the rapid growth in that community at the time the dial exchange was installed, Hood said. Installation of the dial switch ing equipment at the company's new Butte Falls exchange is now practically complete. Installation of new dial telephone instru ments will begin soon, and the exchange is expected to be in operation by early spring. Demands for service continue heavy, Hood added, and the com pany is installing new subscriber stations as rapidly as facilities can be extended, which involves much new construction since ex isting line facilities are more or less filled and overcrowded.

WILSON Washington U.R) There is something mighty like a tax re bellion stirring in this country. Public unhappiness under the added burden of federal income tax levies imposed in 1950 and 1951 is beginning to make an impression in Congress. But the federal government is relatively remote from the peo ple who support it. On a matter like taxes, the great federal bu reaucracy is slow to get the word. State governments are simpler and a lot closer to the voters. Some States Ease Levies State governments are getting the word with considerable em phasis. A United Press check over the week-end showed that at least 13 states recently have eased income or other tax levies or have plans to do so. Maryland and Virginia, the states between which lies the national capital, lead the parade. Maryland has just clipped state income taxes by 15 per cent. Vir- X-Ray Retake Unit Still Operating The tuberculosis chest x-ray "retake unit is still operating here, the County Public Health office said today. It is located on the ground floor of the court house Retakes of chest x-rays of per sons whose smaller x-ray pic tures were "questionable" have been taken since the mass sur vey was completed in January. The unit will continue to oper ate here this week. The health office report said that a number of cards giving results of the x-ray survey have been turned over to the office when the post office found they could not be delivered because of wrong addresses or people having moved. Those who had chest x-rays but who have not received their reports were urged to call at the office to see if their cards are there. Most of the returns are negative, it was said. Educational Consultant Making Visit in County Miss Marjorie W. Pringer, a consultant to the state depart ment of education on problems of educating crippled children, has been visiting in Jackson county for several days, it was announced by the county school superintendent's office today. Miss Pringer has consulted with school heads with regard to home education of crippled chil dren and was to have addressed a meeting of elementary school principals this afternoon.

MORRIS, Agent Phone 2-2846 Starts Thursday mnco . - - imkhmmmm Wtack ginia has a treat-the-taxpayers-right law which provided a 20 per cent income tax cut on 1950 income and may reduce it some more this year and, even, there after. Other States Listed The other states which have eased taxes or whose officials plan to do so are: Alabama, Ar kansas, Georgia, Kansas, Louisi ana, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah and Wisconsin. Not all the re ductions were on income. But they all kept dollars in the tax payers' pockets which otherwise would have been spent by gov ernment. The Virginia law which has ac complished so much is an auto matic proposition. A simple, mi nus detail explanation of the Virginia act is that when reve nue exceeds budgeted expecta tions taxes are reduced. Refunds Possible The state government receives and may spend the sum it pro posed to raise by taxation. But if the weary taxpayers actually pay more than that into the state treasury, the state must give it back to the taxpayers. Federal officials frequently are way off in their tax estimates. As often as not their, mistake is to underestimate by hundreds of millions what tax proceeds will be. When that happens in the federal government, the officials have just that much more money to spend and they spend it Even when tax proceeds ex ceed treasury estimates there usually is a deficit and still more money must be borrowed to pay the government bills. Virginia, of course, has a balanced budget. The name of the state legisla tor who sponsored the Virginia tax act is Byrd Harry F. Byrd Jr. He comss naturally by his in terest in the taxpayer. His father is Sen. Harry F. Byrd, D.-Va., who has been trying for years to get a break for the payers of federal income tax.
