Truman Signs P.O.
Treasury Bill |
WASHINGTON, (/P)—President'
Truman yesterday signed the $12,
402,485,671 Treasury-Post Office
appropriations bill but Criticized
what he termed the “gross inade
quacy" of funds provided for tax
collection.
“The administration of the tax
ing statutes should never be in
fluenced by political considera
tions," Mr. Truman said in a
statement, adding:
“People of all political faiths
are called upon to support their
government through the payment
of taxes and are entitled to ade
quate administrative controls to
insure that the dishonest do not
shift their share to the honest."
The total for the two depart
ments is about $883,000,000 less
than Mr. Truman asked for oper
' ations in the fiscal year beginning
yesterday. But he objected specif
ically to a $20,000,000 cut which
he said was made in funds for the
treasury’s internal revenue bur
eau.
South Carolina is popularly
called “The Palmetto State.”

Eisephower Says
“U. S. Has Second
Rate Army”
W A S H I NGTON, (JP) — Gen.!
Dwight D. Eisenhower’s statement
that the United States army is a
“poor second” to Russia’s was ar-!
gued for universal military train- j
ing” yesterday by Rep. Short <R.
Mo.)
Short suggested a Congressional
investigation of the army’s status
among world powers.
Eisenhower made the statement
last week to a Senate appropria
tions committee in support of a
plea that House cuts in the war
department military budget be re
stored.
Short, second-ranking member
of the House armed service com-!
mittee and an announced foe of
universal training ,was joined in
his suggestion for an investigation
by Chairman Leo E. Allen (R.
111.), of the House rules commit
tee.
Discussing Eisenhower’s testi
mony with a reporter, Short de
clared:
“That is propaganda for uni
versal military training intended
to frighten and scare the Ameri
can people.
“It is up to Congress to make
an investigation to find out what
has caused our army to become a
‘poor second’ to Russia’s in the
face of huge appropriations and
unheard-of surpluses of materials.
Our army leaders should be called
upon to explain what they have
done with the unprecedented
Halibut Strike
Settled At Last
__ „ V i
SEATTLE (A1)—The two-month
long “share the catch” dispute set
tled, Seattle’s offshore halibut
fishing fleet prepared to put off
today for waters of the Alaska
gulf and the Aleutians to harvest
what it can of the rapidly-fading
season’s quota.
Stanley E. Strom, executive
committee chairman of the deep
sea fishermen’s union (indepen
dent), said the first of the 155 ves
sels involved would put off today
with the remainder following to
morrow.
Strom and H. E. Lokken,.boat
owner’s association representative
announced the end of the dispute
last night. The boat will receive
21 per cent of the catch, instead of
the 20 previously prevailing or
the 23 asked by the owner-.
Monthly fathometer rentals will
be deducted from the gross take,
instead of being paid by owners,
they said.
The spokesman said 23,000,000
pounds of halibut remains to be
caught of the 28,000,000 season
quota for 'area 3, which includes
the Gulf of Alaska west of Cape
Spencer and the Aleutians area.
The season off the Washington
and Southeastern Alaska coasts
has closed.
For Good Printing Call Main 125
peacetime military appropriations.
There has been too much double
talk.”
