NEEDS DEEPFREEZE
Mrs. Around Town Sunday an-
nounced to her spouse that she
wanted a Deepfreeze to keep the
meat he packs home from hunt-
ing trips.
The scribe thought he had been
getting by pretty cheaply on his
hunting this year until the better
half announced her wishes. Then
he almost wished he didn’t like
to hunt so much.
That couple's ice box today is
full of squirrel, duck and veniaon.
Yes, that deer hunt was succes-
fui; and other hunters on the
drive accredited Around Town
with a large part of Its success.
He didn’t even fire a shot, ex-
cept at a couple of crows, but
otter members said he furnished
the “smell” which caused the
two luckless deer to be shot by
Rube Broom of 149 East Curtis.
Rube's quite a deer hunter, so
a neighbor of his says. It seems
he got his training up in Sabine
county ht the days when such
game was necessary table meet.
But back to this scribe. He and
H H. Brown were assigned to a
stand upwind from the drive. The
veteran hunter who told the oth-
ers where to watch for the game
didn’t go around smelling hunters
to see which he thought might
put out the most “fragrance,M he
Chose the two young men because
tt was a long walk to this par-
ticular stand-
to about daylight Sunday morn-
ing Around Town and Brown
heeded for their stand. On theii
way they heard someone else'*
pack of hounds “tearing up the
woods” after something. The noise
happened to be in their path,
it pack ahead of them defl-
had’ something bayed. And
when the pair got close enough
to see, they saw one oft the best
looking pack of Walker dogs they
had ever seen. They had son
thipg bayed in the edge of
canal.
• 0 was a hog.
Those dogs looked somewhat
sheepish whan they spied the two
men watching them disgustedly.
The canines tucked their tails sod
slunk off in the woods . . . prob-
abfer hunting armadillos this time.
fhe two hunters proceeded on
to their stand. And there, they
sa< hour after hour, doing nothing
but furnishing the necessary fra-
grance to turn the deer back to
hunters on the other side of the
wopds who wen having a field

Maybe the next time they go
hunting, two other "stinkers” will

The administration proposes a
79 per cent tax on profits deter-
mined to be excessive when com-
pered with 1946-1949 earnings.
Today’s committee vote reiter-
ated a previous ruling that wit-
es must confine their testi-
mony to excess profits taxation.
Within that limitation, business
spokesmen opposing an excess
profits tax have confined their
testimony to suggestions on how
»uch a tax should be framed if
there must be one.
Reed made his motion as Charles
J. Sligh Jr., chairman of the Tax-
ation committee of the National
Association of Manufacturers,
started to testify.

tax rate at 38 per cent—18 per

Sligh said tba NAM plan would

Sligh was one of 14 witnesses

that it is actively negotiating with

Due regard for its other inter-

I Nylon is manufactured in sev-

Red resistance, sporadic to light
earlier, dwindled to “practically

Monday's push carried the
troops 11 air miles closer to the
border. The advance represent-
ed a chilling march of more
than 15 miles over the winding
road through Korea’* northeast-

British commandos moved up
to join U. S. marines in a push

Simultaneously the commander
of the Philippines battalion in the
U. N. force asked that his outfit
be returned home because it was
