Highway Use Tax
Produces Many
Late Returns
District Director of Internal
Revenue, A. C. Ross, an
nounced today that a drive on
highway use tax has produced
2,212 delinquent returns from
738 owners of trucks, truck
tractors and buses. Delinquent
taxes, penalties and interest of
$289,377 have already been as
sessed. He said that She drive
would continue until the num
ber of returns being filed
equaled the estimated number
of taxpayers or that estimate
proved to be wrong.
Mr. Ross admitted that the
determination of which trucks,
truck-tractors and buses are
subject to the Federal Use Tax
is not without its complications.
He suggests that all owners of
vehicles, other than pickup and
other light weight trucks check
with their local Internal Re
venue Office, or ask for Publi
cation No. 349.
The director pointed out that
this tax is one of the princi
pal sources of funds for the
National Highway Construc
tion Program. “The users of
the present highways and po
tential users of new highways
should share this tax burden
in an equitable manner. Fair
business competition demands
that the Internal Revenue Ser
vice use its resources to see
that each one does bear his
just proportion”, Ross said.

Measles About
To Go Down
For the Count
Measles, that itchy scourge
of the nation’s small fry, is
about to go down for the count.
If everything works, this
year will usher in the first
wide-spread use of an effective
measles vaccine. And the ill
ness that Dr. Luther L. Terry,
Surgeon General of the U. S.
Public Health Service, calls
“the Number One disease of
childhood” will, it is hoped, be
conquered.

sional Pharmacist,” Dr. Terry
describes the long search for
a measles vaccine.
In 1944, there began wide
spread use of gamma globulin,
a component of the blood. It
provided short-term protection,
but probably inhibited devel
opment of the body’s natural
resistance to the disease in
adulthood.
Extensive research, several
important national and inter
national conferences, and many
studies with both animals and
children have brought the
search for a measles vaccine
into its final stages.
Since late 1961, both live
and killed measles vaccines
have been tested in field trials
sponsored by the Public
Health Service’s Communica
ble Disease Center. Children in
Seattle, Cincinnati, Atlanta,
Buffalo and Syracuse have
taken part in these tests and
results have been carefully
analyzed.
Prior to full approval of the
vaccine, the following final
steps will have taken place:
Clinical evaluation of the vac
