The governors’ conference has
formally proposed that Washington j
withdraw entirely from this field j
as soon as liscal conditions permit.j
and many individual governors are I
enthusiastically talking up the idea.
Difficult Problem
Sen. Eugene D. Millikin R-Colo.)
chairman of the Senate Finance
committee, said the proposal pre-
sents a ''difficult” problem in view ]
of the present "tight” money situa-1
tion caused by heavy defense j
spending.
As a matter of long-range tax !
policy, however. Millikin said it!
should and probably will be dis-!
cussed by the commission soon to ;
be appointed by President Eisen-
hower to study duplicate state-led- f
eral relationships, including double
taxation.
’ These matters are easy to theo-
rize,” Millikin said. “But when you I
give up one tax, you may have to
put on another and then it becomes
a horse of a different color.”
Sen. Walter F. George iD-Ga.),
former chairman of the tax-writing 1
| finance committee, said "there is
some merit in the position of the
governors.” But he said it would
not be advisable under present cir-
cumstances.
May Come Up
George foresaw the possibility
that Congress may have to come
to grips with the question before
long. He said the matter could
come up lor certain next year
when a one-half cent increase in
| the lederal gasoline tax is sched-
uled to expire, or whenever Cong-
ress undertakes general tax revis-
ion.
The House Ways and Means com-
mittee, which originates tax legis-
lation, is planning a tax review
next month.
*Rep. John W. Byrnes R-Wis.l, a
member of Ways and Means, said
any federal action to get out of
the gasoline tax field “must be cor-
! related with state action to accept
more responsibility.”
Housing Probe At
H-Bomb Project
WASHINGTON. May 16-UP—
Two new investigations into alleg-
ed political corruption and waste
in the housing program for the
hydrogen bomb plant at Aiken. S.C.
have disclosed no wrong-doing but
several costly "mistakes. ”
The Justice Department now is
conducting a third investigation of
the same charges.
The Atomic Energy Commission
and the Federal Housing and
Home Finance Agency undertook
housing investigations at the gigan-
tic plant at the request of the Sen-
ate Banking committee. The feder-
al government contributed $22,488.-
535 for the defense workers' homes.
The investigations were prompt-
ed by published charges that poli-
ticians, their relatives and friends
received contracts to build almost
half of the defense housing units.
More than 3,850 of these perman-
ent homes have been built.

McCarthy To Drill
For Bolivian Oil
LA PAZ. Bolivia. May 15—UP—
U. S. oilman Glenn McCarthy has
been authorized to develop two oil
fields in southern Bolivia’s Tarija
province under a special govern-
ment license.
The land was originally con-
: demned in connection with the in-
ternational dam and reservoir.
Porter said original owners of
the land would be permitted to
i lease such lands "at their own
! risk” for a nominal rental and in
i individual cases where property
, owners were treated unfairly, fur-
ther consideration would be given
j to their claims.
Porter charged that the Corps of
! Army Engineers "arc still follow- j
\ ing the policies laid down by the
Roosevelt and Truman adminis- j
j tration in connection with the Fal-|
con Dam "may be the forerunner
of a similar policy on reservoirs
under consideration in Texas by j
the Army Engineers.”
Porter praised the work of John j

in Zapata county, J. M. anchez,
chairman of the Zapata County i
Landowners Committee, and L, E.

that pastel blue is easy on the

using it as a color in industrial )

One of the exhibits in the GM j
parade of progress is a motor j
! which converts sunlight into en-1
; ough electricity to spin a small
wheel.
"It actually does little more than
illustrate the principle that sun-
light contains energy,” Me Cuen
said. "Nature knew this before the
beginning of time. But some day
an alert engineer will discover a
way to convert solar energy effic-
iently directly from the sun for
everday utility purposes—perhaps
even to operate automobiles!”

Later came the “smoke jack” in
chimneys. Hot gasses rising up the
chimney caused the device to ro-
tate and the power was harnessed
for such tasks as turning a spit
over the fire below.
