Congress
Asked To
Cut Taxes
WASHINGTON, July 6 (UP) —
A committee of 27 industries ask-
ed Congress today to abolish all
leftover wartime excise taxes ex-
cept those on gasoline, tobacco, and
alcohol.
They said this would stimulate
business and employment and so
boost federal revenue by giving
the government greater corpora-
tion and individual earnings to
tap.
The repeal proposal was put up
to the Senate Finance Committee
which is considering a house-ap-
proved bill to cut a lot of excise
levies and make up the loss from
other revenue sources.
The 27 industries belong to the
national committee for repeal of
wartime excise taxes. Their chief
spokesman is Leon Henderson,
wartime price administrator.
The House Ways and Means
Committee estimated that the ex-
cise cuts approved by the House
would add up to an annual reven-
ue loss of about $1,010,000,000.
But Henderson said this figure
is too big by nearly half. He said
it should be only $548,000,000.
The Senate committee was go-
ing ahead with work on the tax
measure despite a possibility, pos-
ed by the Korean war, that it
might have to forget about cutting
taxes and think instead of boost-
ing them.

MONICA. 111.. July 6 (UP).—
Ten persons were killed and 70
injured today when the Santa
Fe s Kansas City Chief plowed
into the El Capitan which had
jumped oif a parallel track at
90 miles an hour.
Peoria County Coroner Chaun-
ccy E. Wood said nine persons
were killed in the freak wreck oi
the two deluxe streamliners and
another died at St. Francis Hos-
pital in Peoria.
Forty-eight persons were taken
to Peoria and Galesburg hospitals.
Others were treated at the scene.
The collision occurred when the
El Capitan, speeding eastward,
Jumped the tracks just after it
passed the Chief which also was
heading east on the parallel track
at 65 miles per hour.
Two of the El Capitan's cars
jackknifed across the other track
and the Chief ripped into them,
slicing through their steel sides
like “a knife through chunks of
cheese.”
Thirteen of the El Capitan’s 10
coaches were derailed but. mira-
culously, all remained upright in-
cluding one that was tossed down
a 10-foot embankment into a field
where it snapped off a telegraph
pole.
All of the Chief's 10 coaches
stayed on the tracks.
The freak collision tore up 1,-
000 feet of the El Capitan’s track-
age and 400 feet of that being
used by the Chief.
As the Chief ripped into the two
El Capitan coaches, tearing them
away from the forward portion ot
the train. Engineer C. E. Croull of
Fort Madison, la., slammed on the
brakes. But tie went on almost a
mile before the El Capitan’s diesel
came to a halt with the two bag-
gage cars and a crew dormitory
that had stayed on the tracks.
Passengers i n si d e the two
conches hit directly by the Chief
were tossed around like rubber
balls in a box, witnesses said. Four
men were killed instantly in a
washroom.
Baggage and clothing were toss-
ed about among the reclining
chairs and heaped upon the bodies
of the dead and injured.
Twisted metal trapped many of
the victims in their seats.
Rotary Club Hears Gilmer Man Tell Of
Principles Of Rotary And Application
Hob Parsons or the Gilmer Ro-
tary Club spoke today to the
Gladewater club on the principles
of Rotary and their application to
everyday life.
Principles of Rotary can be used
in dealing with your fellow man,
Parsons said. An employee wants
n fair deal, security, real Incentives
to work for, and recognition for a
job well done; while the employer
wants a good day’s work from his
employee, loynlty, Initiative from
his employee.
“The worst employer-employee
relationship which can exist is fa-
voritism shown by the employer,
while employee loyalty Is the
greatest asset," commented the
speaker.
In dealing with a competitor, bo
friendly with him, the speaker
urged, adding that it has been said
many times that It Is impossible to
hate anyone you know.
The motto of Rotary, "Service
Above Self” will help greatly in
the meeting of everyday problems.
Parsons said.
"Your attitude is extremely im-
portant in dealing with people,” he
said. "The way you treat them is
the way they will treat you."
The speaker concluded with the
thought that there can be brother-
hood, not only locally and nation-
ally, b u t internationally also.
“Even t h e n, we as individual
Rotarians, living up to Rotary
principles, will be ridiculed for
what wo try to do."
Presiding at the meeting today
was Herman Williams, out-going
president. He announced that the
Ladies Night Installation banquet
will be held next Thursday night
at the American Legion Hut. Cran-
fill Cox, Sr., district governor, will
bo the installing officer.
Guests were Dick Kenley of
Longview, Henry Stropp, Tom
Markham and the speaker, Par-
sons, of Gilmer; TraviR Burton of
Tyler, and new member Dr. Saun-
ders M. Thomas of Gladewater.
have not reported for rehearsals.
These students are urged to par-
ticipate in the. summer program
as it will be instrumental in build-
ing a larger and better instru-
mental program in the school,
Monzingo said.
Classes in twirling and band
rehearsals are scheduled to con-
tinue all of July and August and
until school begins in September.
Donations Taken
In At Boat Races
Go To Polio Fund
All donations taken in at the
annual outboard motor boat races
at Lone Star Lake near Daingcr-
ficld at 2 p. m. Sunday will go to
the polio fund, according to E.
Warner, owner of Warner's Camp.
The races will be entirely ama-
teur, but many fast boats will be
entered from all around the area.
There will be no charge for enter-
ing or seeing the races, and there
will be no cash prizes for the win-
ners, but certificates of award will
be presented the winners.
Last year’s race held in July at-
tracted about 5,000 people.
Ambulances and doctors will be
on hand in case of accident, and
racing headquarters and loud-
speakers will be at Warner’s Camp.
Although there will be no charge
for the races, plates will be passed
around for collections to help fight
polio, Warner said.

The American commanders in
Korea find themselves in such a
tough spot today that they are
going to have to borrow a trick
from the Russians.
They are going to have to trade
distance for time. The trouble is
that there isn’t too much distance
to trade and the Americans need
lots of time.
The Russians invented the tech-
nique of trading distance for time
when they were attacked by Na-
Tanks Push
Americans
TOKYO, friday, July 7 (UP) —
The Americans are making a gen--
eral retreat in Korea, pursued by
50,000 Communist troops and 100
tanks.
The Americans have been rolled
back 25 miles and the latest Com-
munist victory has threatened rail
communications from the Korean
port city of Pusan to the battle
field.
Communist forces swept south-
ward from the Seoul-Suwon sec-
tor and pushed the Americans back
through strategic Pyongtaek. The
G. I.’s were driven out of a de-
fense line on the south bank of a
river where they made a short-liv-
ed stand.
Midnight dispatches from U. S.
headquarters in Korea told of the
general retreat by the mauled
American forces. Some 50,000
North Korean troops and more
than 100 tanks were slugging
southward from the Suwon area.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s com-
munique lagged well behind the
field dispatches. It said the North
Koreans were pressing their of-
fensive along the front below Su-
won. But it mentioned movements
toward Osan. 11 miles south of Su-
won. which long since had been
overrun by the Communists.
A new threat to the advanced
American positions, now several
miles south of Pyongtaek and with-
in 50 miles of the provisional Cap-
ital of Taejon, was indicated by
MacArthur's communique.

They are based in Japan and ev-
ery time they fly a mission they

to go back across the water to
their base.
Another reason the Americans
need time is that we made a mili-

threw jet planes into the fight
and by trial and error learned
that they weren’t suited to the

trucks, one locomotive and eight
boxcars were reported destroyed.
B-26 medium attack bombers
hit railroad bridges in the areas
of Pyongyang, the North Korean

A dispatch just before midnight

disclosed that the Yanks and
South Koreans had given up a de-
fense line they had sought to es-
tablish on the south bank of a
river flowing alongside Commu-
nist-captured Pyongtaek, 21 miles
south of Suwon.
A few hours earlier field dis-
patches had reported that a more
or less stable defense line had
been anchored along the south
bank of the river outside Pyong-
taek. This big transport hub is the
gateway to Taejon, the capital city
49 miles to the southeast.
A late night report from U. S.
headquarters in Korea said offi-
cers confirmed the withdrawal to
a point “several miles south of
Pyongtaek for regrouping.”
