RADIOS NEEDED FOR HOSPITAL
The new management of the local AFRS Radio Sta
• tion has worked into the program a hospital request pro
gram that has met with popular response from those in
the T.B. Ward, and also from friends of the patients
who want them to know that they are being thought of
while they are hospitalized.
Those at A.F.R.S. are to be complimented for their
thoughtfulness. They have run into a snag however.
Some of the hospital beds do not have radios, so some of
the patients cannot participate in this program. If any
one has a radio which they are not using and would
care to donate it to the hospital, the Nugget will be glad
to have it left at our office and we will see that it gets
to the hospital with your compliments.
TAX COLLECTIONS INCREASE
Tax collections by the Federal Government during the
third quarter of 1950 were about one-quarter billion
dollars higher than in the same period of 1949.
Individual income taxes were $229,561,815 higher
than in the corresponding period of last year, but cor
poration income tax payments fell $589,190,009. In
creases in other tax receipts made possible the net in
crease in the total collected.
With prices tending to advance and taxes certain to
be heavier than before, the average American family
must have a larger income if standards of living are not
to be reduced. This fact should be borne in mind by em
ployers even though one recognizes that they face diffi
culties in connection with establishing higher prices for
their own products. I

THE THIEVES’ MARKET
In the city of Seoul, the capital of Korea, United
States Army supplies are sold openly each day in the
thieves’ market, according to a dispatch in the New
York Times, from Charles Grutzner, who reports that
there is not much that the Army can do about it. j
The Army is unable to seize stacks of G. I. field jack
ets, trousers, soap and other Army goods, because it is
unable to prove that the merchandise came from a
warehouse or dock. The problem is difficult because
much U. S. Army equipment was given to the South
Korean Army in 1948 and 1949. Some of this has fallen
into the hands of the North Koreans, who also raided

LOS ANGELES (/P)—<Bob Hope J
who generally doesn’t bruise eas- j

$2,010,000 worth.
The comedian filed suit for that i
amount against Life magazine and !
radio columnist John Crosby yes
terday, claiming they libeled him j
by asserting he stole Fred Allen’s
jokes.
