\t“iuuu entered g. nqw
fiscal year and riot a singly aji-
E¥bßTWtiq» rim haa been Rftsg©d
by the Congress. A few bills
have gone through the {ioyse
. 3WI some through the Senate,
bat it has not, been possible to
have a conference, to work out
the differences. This has been
because the chairmen of the two
appropriation committees 'have
been having a squabble as to
where the conference should
take place.
Both of these chaShpen are
octogenarians, and for , them to
disagree on this pomt appears
rather silly.. Bpt ibis dues Rot
change thg- basin fact -that neyer
before in "rnoderh times has the
United States had' tie start a
new fiscal year withal -apy.of
the appropriation seqftßgts hav
ing been acted, upop by the Con
gress. The government, of
course, is operating mjder a joint
congressional resolution continu
ing last year’s appropriations.
This is merely one example
of the iricrqdible lqg 'jam now
taping the Congress. ‘
ihe only big iopcpi.ior.ity. bile
that has been disposed of was
I ami measure. The Admini
stration lost and 'the defeat was
blamed upon the Republicans.
It is true that all but ong Re
publican member voted against
the bill—and that one has been
rpdistricted out of. office—but
many Democrats also opposed
the Administration plan because
they thought it gave "the gov
ernment too much power.
The tax bill has passed the
House in a form which the
President said at the time was
satisfactory. When the meas
ure got before the Senate Fi
nance Committee, however,
Treasury secretary till ton rec
ommended a series of changes
the net effect of wta&h would
Rave been to bring it back to
the original Administration pro
posal. It has now been an
nounced by the chairman of that
committee, Senator Byrd, that
if unanimous agreement is not
reached by July 18 the bill will
be put aside and the committee
will take up the Trade Ex
pansion Act. The Senator also
said that this time schedule was
with the approval of the White
House. As a result of this de
lay it appears improbable that
the tax bill can possibly be
ready for submission to the Sen
ate until so close to Labor Day
that passagg > s highly unlikely.
The Trade Expansion Act was
passed" by the House in the j
form wanted by the Administra- 1
tion, and this was regarded in
Washington as a great victory.
This gives the President un
paralled power to reduce tariffs j
and authorizes the government
to aid firms and workers who
are hurt by imports. There Ls
great-objection to these aid pro
visions. and no small amount of
opposition to the increased tariff
cutting powers. The Senate Fi
nance Committee plans' to have
four weeks of and it

will take another week or so to
get a bill ready to report. It
is assumed that some changes
will be made in the aid pro
visions, but no one is in a po
sition to forecast what they will
be.
Aid to education is regarded
las dead in so far as this Con
gress is concerned, it did not
have too much chance before
I the U. S. Supreme Court’s de
cision on school payers, and it
|is now generally believed that
j decision completely eliminated
j the possibility of passing such
a measure.
Medical care for the elderly
through Social Security is in
trouble but still is, given abput
1 a fifty-fifty chance of being
passed in some form. All types
of compromises are -being offer
ed- and one of these may win
enough support to get a bill
through the Congress.
i\ow, quite a few bills have
been passed and some of them
nave been of great importance—
increasing the federal debt limit
to S3OB billion, and extending
the present 52 percent corporate
tax. are examples. Many other
important measures are in, the
legislative mill. But those dis
cussed above were the basic
program of the Administration.
To say that the record on these
has been dismal is an under
statement. Never has there beep
r worse log jam in the UnitetJ
States Congress.
Income And Social
Security iW
Before July 31st
Os importance to employers in
the Edenton area is a reminder
issued by the Internal Revenue
Service. J. E. Wall of the
Greensboro, N. C-, IRS office, (
said that July 31, 1962, is the
deadline for reporting and pay
ing income and social security
taxes withheld for the calendar
quarter ended June 3Q, 1962.
Mr. Wall said employers
should use Form 941 to report
their tax liability for that pe
riod, and mail it, along with de
positary receipts and full pay
ment of taxes due, to Internal
Revenue Service, 320 South Ashe
Street, Greensboro. Household
employers should use -Form 942
to report the tyages paid to their
employees.
He said employers who do not
have a copy of Circular E, “Em
ployer’s Tax Guide,’’ or Circular |
H for household employers, may
obtain them from any local IRS
office. These publications con
tain a full discussion of em
ployment taxes together with
tables and percentage methods,
for computing such taxes. ,
Despite the normal deadline of
July 31, 1962, some employers
are entitled to an automatic ex
tension of the due date to Au
gust 10, 1962, To be eligible
for this extension, employers
must make timely monthly de-
