Urges Local
Governments
To Aid Defense*
How Louisburg. Franklin Coun
y and tbe other 792 local govenf
uental bodies in North Carolina
:an help to solve the nation's ?
oughesb problem ? that of de- |
ense ? was told today by Mrs. ,
ilelville Mucklestone, president, |
he National Consumers Tax Com- i
nission, Chicago.
A sum "sufficient to purchase 1
fl pursuit planes of the most ad-1
ranced design plus 235 fast, lights
auks" would be saved each year
t local governments in this state
would adopt only two adminis
n ative improvements ? centrallz- ;
?d purchasing' and the merit- sys
tem ? according to the head of
the Commission, which has 26
study groups in North Carolina.
"Authorities estimate universal
adoption of centralized purchas
ing would save 5 per cent', or |
$4,124,700 of the $82,494,0^0 j
spent annually by local govern
ments in the state," Mrs. Muck
lestoue, who is a former national
president of the American Leg
ion Auxiliary, declared. "An av
erage saving of 5.6 per cent or
$4,619,664 would be realized
through personnel selection by
merit-. Pursuit ships cost $65,
000 each and light armored tanks}
$17,500.
"Other economies, such as in
stitution of sound budgetary me
thods. consolidating governmental
units, proper planning and aboli
tiou of obsolete and unnecessary
uflices would save additional
millions. If local governments
throughout the nation would
eliminate inefficiency and waste >
by the adoption of these methods
the total sum saved would more
than offset the $994,400,000 to I
be raised annually through the
National Defense Tax Act wliich ,
went into effect July 1.
"Every loyal American favors
t'he rearmament of our nation I
now regardless of cost. But
while taxpayers are paying this
bill, they have a right to expect j
local governments to make every
effort to save where essentia! ser
vices will not< be sacrified.
"Citiiens everywhere are per
forming a patriotic service of the
highest order when they urge ef
ficient administrative methods ou
their local officials. I am proud
that NCTC women are in t-he van
guard of this economy drive "

tional committee.
MAY YET GET REBATE :
.
Raleigh. Oct. 31. ? Employers I
of North Carolina who (ailed to
pay their contributions to the
State unemployment Compensa
tion Commission (or 1936, 1937,
1938, or 1939 in time to entitle
them to the credit against the
Federal unemployment tax (or
those years will be particularly
interested in the statement o(
Commissioner of Internal Reve
nue Cuy T. Helvering, to which
Chairman Charles G. Powell calls
attention. "~i
Commissioner Helvering refers
to Section 701 o( the recently
enacted Second Revenue Act o(
1940, explaining that it provides
that i( contributions for 1936,
1937, or 1938 are paid to the
State (und on or be(ore December
6, 1940, the amount o( such con
tributions will be allowable as
credit against the Federal tax (or
those years, but not. in any case,
to exceed 90 per cent> o( the tax
against which it is applied. Prior
to this amendment, credit against
the tax (or those three years was
allowable only if the contribu- :
tions for these years were paid I
prior to October 9. 1939.
Also, the section provides that '
employers may receive credit)
against the Federal uuemploy- 1
ment tax for 1939 if the contri
butions (or that year are paid to ;
the Stale Commission on or be- |
fore December 6. 1940. The'
amount of this credit, however,
will be limited to 90 per cent* of
the amount which would have
been allowable as a credit hud the
contributions been paid on or be
fore the date fixed for tiling the
return for that' year ? January 31.
1940, unless otherwise extended.
Employers wbo were denied the
credit because of late contribu
tions. in many -cases, have filed
claims (or refund or abatement. |
In others the Bureau of Internal
Revenue has information suffic
ient to allow adjustment of re
turns. The Bureau probably
does not have a record of some
employers who paid the full
amount of the Federal tax. as well
as tihe full amount of the State
tax. Commissioner Helvering
states In such cases, claims may j
be filed within four years from
the date the Federal tax was paid
to Collector C. H. Robertson and
will be considered for allowance,
if the contributions to the State
fund are paid by December 6,
1940. The law allows no inter
est on such refunds.
The new law also provides spec- ,
ial relief for 1936, 1937, 1938
and 1939 in bankruptcy proceed- |
Ings or other cases in which as
sets are in custody or control of I
the courts.
Chairman Powell expresses the
hope that' North Carolina employ
ers in arrears will pay the State
fund any amount due before Dec. '
6. and thus get all relief allowed, i
