New Armed Forces Reserve Act Explained To Men Here The new U. S. Armed Forces Re serve Act of 1955 was explained to ^ a group of young men here last week at the Army Reserve Center < on Depot St. by Capt. Robert C. * Shaughnessy of the L'SAH Advis- < or Office at Asheville. * The new act, the captain said, was passed to enable young Ameri can men to plan their military serv ice with the least interference with * their personal life. Capt. Shaughnessy pointed out > that the 1955 law offers men two a j different plans; An eight-year en t listment and a six-year enlistment C ?most of which, under both plans, 11 would be spent in the U. S. Army " [ Reserve, t ' The 'captaffr elffed these major ( provisions of the eight-year enlist ment. Men here between the ages of 17 and 18V4 can enlist directly in the J Army Reserve unit in Waynesville ^ and then take only six months of active duty basic training. The re mainder of their seven and a half ? years' enlistment is spent in at tending a two-hour drill in Waynes- r ville or atiother town one night a ^ week and then participating in a a two-week summer training encamp- 1 ment once a year. a Men who are in high school when v they join the Army Reserve are Sl permitted to remain in high school until they leave by graduation or u otherwise, or become 20 years of 1 7 Veteran's Bill Sponsored By Senator Scott i TIT c ** ? ; ,1 * I * 1?

Davis of Winston Salem, new chairman of the board of Wachovia Bank & Trust Com pany. will be one of the featured speakers at the fifth annual Re tailers' Activities Clinic to be held at the University in Chapel Hill on February 26-27. Especially designed for officers of retail divisions of chambers of commerce and leaders of mer chants associations, the conference this year is scheduled to have as special speakers Governor Luther for National Life Insurance in cases where veterans failed to ap ply for it while in service or let it lapse. ? "Figures of the Veterans Admin istration show vry clearly," Scott said, "that many veterans either never applied for government life insurarfce while in service or have let it lapse since they left serv ice," Scott, who will join Sen. Russell Long in offering the measure, said it does not make any additional persons eligible for the insurance. "It merely gives veterans who are already entitled to it a limited pe riod of time to renew it or take it out," Scott said. Under the measure, persons who served in the armed forces between October 8, 1940, and September 2. 1945. would be given a year to ap ply for government insurance. "Many veterans," Scott said, "failed to take out government in surance while in service or let it lapse. These same people now real ize that they made a mistake, and I feel that they deserve an addi tional chance to get insurance they are entitled to have." Scott said that there are a total of 421.000 World War II and Ko rean veterans in the state now. Of this number, only 135.000 have kept up their government insur ance, he said. Scott Bill Hits At 'Gentlemen' Farming Group Sen. W. Kerr Scott has intro duced legislation aimed at "brief case" farmers.. According to Scott, the bill would "put an end to the govern ment paying for fancy gentlemen farming operations" by amending the Internal Revenue Code. An identical companion bill was offered in the House by Rep. Charles B. Deane of the 8th Dis trict of North Carolina. "Under existing law," Scott said, "it is permissible to deduct up to $50,000 a year in farm operation losses from other income. This simply means that people . 'th high incomes can operate farms on an expense account basis strict ly as a hobby or as a means of get ting around income tax laws." Scott said "there is no way of knowing how many hobby farms have been bought and operated under this loophole in the law. but I am confident that the number is unreasonably high In almost every community there are several farms with absentee ownership. Many of them are run strictly on the side by people who don't even pretend to be farmers." Scott said his bill would not af fect farms already in operation, "but it would make it a lot more difficult to set up expense account farms in the future." The Scott measure would reduce the amount of allowable deduc tions of farm operating costs from other income from $50,000 a year to $5,000 a year. Hodges and Reuel Elton of Wash ington.

Senator George Smathers is expected to announce for re election about February 1. That is the .statement on the front page of The Miami Daily News, of the 20th, under a four column picture of Senator Smathers and six other senators, at a dinner given in hon or of the young Florida senator. The article by Charles F, Hess er, News political writei, went on to exploit) that the senator and his backers appear confident of victory, although it may come af ter a tough campaign, reminiscent of his 1950 battle with former U. S. Senator Claude Pepper. Or it may be without opposition. Senator Smathers spends some lime each summer here with his oarents, Judge and Mrs. Frank Smathers at their summer home. He spends a lot of his time while here playing golf, and relaxing. The Miami political writer went on to explain that it is beginning to appear that Smathers may get by without a Democratic opponent. Smathers' fail "warm-up' tour, which took him into the state's 67 counties for speeches and visita tion. was capped last night with a testimonial dinner at Miami Springs Villas, attended by nation al. state and local party leaders. It was a great show of strength for Smathers and his backers. Everyone from the six visiting U. S. senators, and Democratic Na tional Chairman Paul Butler, down to Dade County committeemen and women were enthusiastically pre dicting a Smathers victory.
