Become Alcoholic

bring a day of:
High-power performance on
low-g'*ade gasoline.
Trucks and autos climbing hills
in high instead of creeping up in
low.
Economical driving on the flat,
* with a ready surge of power when
needed.
Part of your power coming from
corn cobs, or grains.
These possibilities from use of
alcohol as liquid fuel were de
scribed today by Dr. G. E. Hilbert,
director of the northern regional
research laboratory, U. S. depart
ment of agriculture, at Peoria, 111.,
* to the national farm chemurgic
council conference. There are
some “ifs and buts.”

Signal Corps Celebrates
85th Anniversary
On March 3, 1863, just 85 years
ago, Congress established the Sig

against the Ku Klux Klan Satur
day called for laws to end it.
“meetings of intimidation.”
The Georgih governor accused
the klan of delivering the south
“into the hands of our enemies,”
and accused the hooded secret or
der of aiding communists and
“race baiters.”
His denunciation of the klan
was coupled with a restatement of
his opposition to proposed federal
anti-lynch laws.
The governor referred to recent
election-eve demonstrations by the
klan in two east-central Georgia
counties where Negroes were reg
istered to vote, and declared:
“While our Senators and Con
gressmen tell the world that we
have enough laws and will en
force them, the Ku Kluk Klan by
such meetings cut the ground
from beneath their feet.”

man who mu t have thought the
internal revenue bureau had him
by the neck.
He enclosed a collar in a letter
asking for a copy of his 1946 tax
return. “This doesn’t make sense.”
the man wrote, “but if that is the
rule, then that is the rule.”
Investigation proved that the
taxpayer was absolutely right. He

a copy of his return, and had been
told it would cost him “one col

Bureau officials said such typo
