State Revenue Turns
Upward During April
State revenue collections, on
the decline for several months,
turned sharply upward during
April, according to Revenue
Commissioner Glenn Phillips.
Total April receipts were nearly
52,000,000 more than they were
lor the same month last year.
State Auditor B. E. Thrasher,
Jr., the watch-dog of the Trea
tury, was quick to suggest that
possibly more income tax payers
had remitted their entire tax
payments this year than last
This will mean, he pointed out,
that there will be a correspond
ing dip in the next three quarters
of the year.
However, the increase in re
venue—whiie due entirely to in
come tax collections—was en
coureging to some observers who
were very much afraid that the
steadily dwindling state income
might be a harbinger of “hard
time a-coming.”

WEEKLY
LETTER
" YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS
Oleo Tax Repeal Prospects
Are Bright
Last week I reported that the
House had passed the bill to re¬
peat taxes on oleomargarine by
a vote of more than two to one.
The fate of the bill in the Sen¬
ate was uncertain until the Sen¬
ate by a substantial vote, took
the bill from the Committee on
Agriculture, which was unfavor¬
able to the bill, and put it in the
hands of the Finance Commit¬
tee which is the logical place for
it, since it deals with taxes.
There is a much better chance
for favorable action in the Fin¬
ance Committee. It may be
weeks yet before it comes up for
final passa'ge in the Senate.
Prospects For Postal Pay Raise
Brightens
Th Republican steering com¬
mittee, which determines what
legislation shall come to the Con¬
gress for action, has had bottled
up the many bills introduced to
raise the pay of all civil service
employees, to enable them co
meet the present high cost of
iiving. Postal and civil service
workers have not been able tc
make ends meet in the fight with
,nflated prices. A committee
from the Senate has recommen¬
ded a somewhat higher pay raise
than the Civil Service Commit¬
tee of the House has reported
Neither bill was permitted to
come to either the Senate or the
House for action.
Now both Speaker Martin and
Senator Taft promise that some
raise will be voted upon. The
amount is the question to be de¬
cided soon by a meeting of the
Republican steering committee
which finally determines the
Republican position on legisla¬
tion. It appears now, that what¬
ever raise is given will be a tem¬
porary one. Of course if present
high prices continue, the raise
will probably be re-enacted at
its expiration.
Fate of Draft and U. M. T.
Uncertain
Just as the Republican leader¬
ship has bottled up action on the
pay raise bill for Federal civil
service workers, and the bill for
Federal Aid Education, the same
group is holding from the House
and Senate, the Senate bill
which combines the Draft and
Universal Military Training, and
the House bill which provides
for the Draft only.
The Senate* bill would register
all young men between the ages
of twenty-five and thirty, and
would take by lot for two years
service in the regular armed ser¬
vices, young men between 19V2
and 25, who did not see service
in the last war. The boys 18 to
19% years would be called for
training with the older boys, but
would not be liable for overseas
service, and would be required
to join a Reserve or National
Guard Unit when their one
year’s training was completed.
The House bill would draft x
men 19-25 and would not call the
younger men into service or in¬
to training camps except in case
of emergency. It is believed
generally here that if either
the time the Virginia accent
was telling us the history of the
old things and of the gay balls
that used to be held there. In
this Ballroom are the only two
things in the palace that are
copies. Two of the three crys¬
tal chandeliers that hang there
were copies of the third and
authenic one. The other two
were broken or lost or something.
So they had to use copies.
We visited an old pewter
smiths. We saw the molds and
things that were used in that
trade. We looked around in an
old antique shop and had a won¬
derful time.
There are dozens of things
that could be told about this
lovely place, but time does not
permit. I hope that I have made
some of you want to visit this
historic spot and that some of
you will go. It is really one of
the lovliest places in the world,
and one that I intend to revisit
when I have more time to spend.

sidered the state in which a man

passes it will be the House bill
calling for temporary service,
but without Universal Military
Training.
Some Sort of Selective Service
Necessary
Because of the constant threat
of war with Russia, which is be¬
lieved possible but not probable,
it is necessary to strengthen our
defense forces, especially our air
power. Planes and machines of
war require man-power to oper¬
ate and maintain them. Con¬
sequently, if enlistments do not
fill the Army, Navy and Air
Force to full strength, it must
be done by some form of select¬
ive service. We have taken a
firm attitude toward Russia. It
is paying off now, but we must
be able to back our firm policy
with military power. We believe
this is the surest way to prevent
war. The prevention of war is
the thing uppermost in the
hearts and minds of everyone
here I’m sure.
Many Schools Visit Washington
This is the season when the !
graduating classes of our high
schools come to their Washington government for j j
a glimpse of
in operation. This is a fine thing j
tor the boys and girls, as it gives
them personal contact with their
representatives here, and lets
them see at first hand something
of the machinery of government.
I’m sure they go back with a bet-
ler knowledge of, and respect for
this the greatest government in
the history of the world.
I am always happy to meet the
children and their chaperones
and extend to them every courte¬
sy and help possible. I invite any
class planning to come to Wash¬
ington to let me know when they
will be here, and to call upon
me for any service we can ren¬
der them.
Since my last report the grad¬
uating class of Bremen High
School, with their Superintend¬
ent, Mr. Jones and Mrs. Langley
the wife of the Coach, gave me
the opportunity of meeting them.
This morning I was glad to greet
ihe graduating class of Fitzhugh
Lee School, Smyrna, Ga., and
their Chaperon, Mrs. Slade H.
Exley. It was a treat to see
these fine groups.
