{ WASHINGTON — (#) — A tax
{bill of $500,000,000, or perhaps a
tlittle more, was foreshadowed to

{¢d the word that President Roose

| Tired congressional leaders, em

edly announced the president would
ask next week for sufficient revenue
to restore the budget to the shape
In which it was, submitted to con
gress in January.
Tight-lipped as to details, they

Creation of Mrs.. Cwin
Nixon of Augusta
Highly Praised
AUGUSTA, Ga.—"“Cunjer Joe,” a
vividly portrayed Negro play, fea
turing provincial dialect and de
picting scenes and action of the
Savannah River flood which wiped
out Augusta’s suburban Hamburg
a few years ago, has been publish
ed by the Samuel French company.
It is the production of Mrs, Nora
Fortson Nixon, wife of Gwin Nix
on, Augg_s_ta attorney, and the
daughter of Judge and Mrs, Bian
ton Fortson, of Atheas,
Mrs. Nixon's play has been ac
claimed by theatrical cxperts vigit
ing in Augusta as an outstanding
piece of playwriting and compar
ed with the noted production,
“Green Pastures,” although it isl
on a minor scale. ‘
l The characters are taken from
modern Southern gmall town Negro
" | life. Conjer Joe is a superstituous
Negro preacher, who predicted a
“bustin’ of de levee” that would
. | wash away Hamburg. The preach
"ler and others remained safe dur
ing the flood in a hay loft.
Minus the farcical and “old plan
tation” idea, the play is crammed
with wholesome pathog which is
| held from recession into the tragle
by an abundance of that humor
inseparable from the characters and
atmosphere. There 18 g realistic
mingling of the pathetic with the
ridiculous in the scene of the little
| group, marooned in’ the barn loft.
The play is tapered off with a
| chicken flying into the loft after
Cunjer Joe had prayed to “De
Lawd” that the flood would sub
side and that he would send down
a dove, as at the end of the Bibical
40-day rain of Noah’s day.
A one-act, semi-musical, the
spectacle is divided into three
scenes, the first, a Hamburg Neg
| ro cottage; the second, a river
| site, and the final, the barn loft.

few words newspapermen were able
todraw from the reticient congress
men. But comparison of words
and hints pointed to a tax bill
sufficient to care for the new $500,-
000,000 farm program, with lead
ers perhaps counting on revenue
increases to pay eventually the
cost of cashing the wonus.
It was the death of AAA, with
its processing taxes, and the en

president’s veto, which knocked the
big holes in the budget sumbitted

SPINAL MENINGITIS
SLIGHTLY ICREASED
WASHINGTON. —(P)— Dr.
George W. McCoy, medical di=
rector of the National Health
Institute, said today there is
“some little increase” in spinal
meningitis over the normal
mumbier of ' cases prevalent
throughout the nation at this
time of the year,
News digpatches said that
12 persons have died in two
outbreaks in Massachusetts
inst{itutions in January and
February, while the disease
prosed fatal to 9 persons in
east Texas.
Dr. McCoy said the disease
is a geasonal one and that it
is usually worst in February,
March and April.
NEUTRALITY IDEALS
OF .S, CHANGED
Miss Roberta Hodgson
Says ‘Freedom to Trade’
Involves War
Freedom to trade as a basis of
neutrality has given way to recog-
nition of the fact that attempts
to carry on world trade during a
war leads to disputes and per
haps war itself, "Miss Roberta
Hodgson, student of' international
politics, declared at a meeting of
the Athens League of Women
Voters here today.
Miss Hodgson spoke on “The
Neutrality Issue,” at a meeting of
the League held at the home of
Mrs. John Morris.
Neutrality ideals have changed,
Miss Hodgson said. The old neu
trality claims were based on the
contention that nations should be
allowed ‘“freedom to trade,” in
volving the issue of “freedom of
the seas,” which often lead to a
neutral nation becoming embroiled
in the current war in an effort
to maintain its rights to trade
with belligerents. .

Continues Series With
Addresses Tonight
" The Unjversity’ Science club
will continue a series ‘of public
health program with discussions
of vicious pellagra by two Uni
’vev:ity School of Medicine (Au

|E. Murphy and V., P. Syden

They will speak at War Memo

| The skin reddening and scaling
diseases, pellagra, can be cured
‘und prevented, Science club ot-l
;ficials said today and “every per
ison should be interested in learn
ing the facts on guarding his
}own and hig family's healthl
' against it.”
{ - They thought that the program
tonight offers excellent opportuni
ties for doing this. :
Both speakers are regarded as
leading Southern authorities on
the disease, which is known to be
one caused by improper food. They
have both devoted much time to
it. and Dr. Sydenstricker has pub
lished papers on it. |
Our Science club spokesman de
fined the malady as follows: !
“Pellegra is a disease which
manifests jtself by a strange kind
of reddening and scaling of the
skin. The patient usually suffers
loss of appetite, indigestion, diare
rhea, soreness of the mouth and
tongue, nervousness, low €pirits
and more or lesg general weak
ness. Only one gr all of the above
symptoms may be present.”
Dr. Murphy was graduated from
the University of Georgia in 1895.
He finished in medicine at Augus
ta in 1898 and did graduate work
at Johns Hopkins university. .In
1901 he became a member of the
School of Medicine staff, latee
saw war service and served Au
gusta as health commissioner. He|
was formerly president of the
Medical Association of Georgia and
of the Georgia Health Officers’
association.
Dr. Sydenstricker is a gradu
ate of Johns Hopkins. He was a
major in the medical service dur
ing the war, and is now head of
the school's department of medi
cine. He has published work on
diseases of the blood, pellagra and
pernicious anemia. He is regard
ed as one of the leaders in his
