PATROL WORK SPEEDED— Patroling the streets of Dunn is both faster and
easier today since installation of the city’s new police radio system. Police Chief
George Arthur Jackson, in the top picture, is shown here as he relayed a message to
Sergeant C. F. Wood, below, who was sitting arcoss town in the police car. With the
radio system, headquarters can now contact the patrol car just as quickly as a voice
can speak into the microphone. Chief Jackson had been seeking a police radio system
for many years. Incidentally, the two officers shown here are the oldest on the
force. (Daily Record Photo by Tommy Wood.)

. AMENDMENTS—The fact that
two proposals to amend the state
constitution were made in one
session of the senate during its
first week indicates recognition of
need for re-writing that document.
At the same session Wednesday

house for a commision to study
governmental organization In North
Carolina, at both state and local
levels. Other bills along the same
line are expected. Proposed con
stitutional changes were to permit
18 year olds to vote and providing
for speedier filling of vacancies

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. -*-(UP)
Manpower and money—a bigger
draft and bigger taxes—bothered
Congress today.
A draft ol 18-year-olds seemed
headed for Congressional approval.
But some legislators doubted the
wisdom of a possible $20,000,000,000
tax boost.
The Defense Department’s pro
posed program to strengthen the
nation’s armed forces will be presen
ted to Congress next week. Legisla
tors appeared ready to go along
with lowering of the draft age from
19 to 18. But Chairman Richard B.
Russell, D., Ga., of the Senate Armed
Services Committee opposed a sec
tion of the plan which would lengt
hen the service period from 21 to
27 months.
As for taxes, Rep. Robert L.
Doughton, D., N. C., chairman of the.
tax-writing House Ways and Means
Committee, said he wouldn’t want
to say that even a $15,000 ,000 ,000
tax increase is "practical” although
it is possible.
PAY. AS YOU GO
Chairman Walter f. George, D„
Ga., of the Senate Finance Com
nittee said he favored a pay-as-you
go tax scheme, but has “never com-i
mitted myself to a program that
would destroy our economy.”
President Truman wants a bal
anced budget in the fiscal year be

expected to be about |75.000,Qf1%QW.
Present taxes raise &S,OOO,(Kk)'OTO.
That leaves a gap of $20,000,000,000.

The new threat was disclosed by
