VOLUME L Solons Deaf To Pleas For Tax Boost Washington, Feb. 16.—(W —House tax writers today brushed off President Tru man’s pßea for speed in boosting taxes another $lO,- 000,000,000. The tax-framing House ways and Means Committee refused to change its decision to conduct ex haustive hearings before approving Truman’s requests. That meant it would probably take until mid summer before the president gets a tax-boosting bill on his desk. Mrs. Truman told news confer ence yesterday that delay in con gressional approval of the tax in creases is endangering the anti inflation program. DRAFT—Chairman Carl Vinson, D., Ga., predicted his House Armed Services Committee will soon ap prove drafting of 18-year-olds somewhat along the lines recom mended by the Senate Armed Ser vices Committee. ‘‘We will probably make a few changes,” Vinson said.

Taft added that he would not object to sending 100,- 000 troops oned Congress acted. AMERASIA Sen. Karl E. Mundt, R., SID., predicted that the seized files of the Institute of Pacific Relations will touch off a new congressional investigation of trip 1948 Amerasia case.

Youscan still get a cup of the finest Maxwell House coffee you ever tasted for only five cents. ‘‘And we aren’t going to farce our customers to pay 75 cents for a plate lunch,” continues the state ment from Mr. Barnes, ‘‘Not if we can help it. According to our well known policy, we shall continue to sell our food as cheaply as we can. Any savings we realize will be pas sed on to our customers.” Mr. Barnes said he Just couldn’t afford to raise the price of coffee. 1 “You can raise the price of any thing else and nobody will complain, but Just raise the‘price of coffee and everybody complains,” he ad ded. Mr. Barnes set the example. After appearance of his advertisement In The Record, a couple of other resta urants cut the price to a nickel. Pole Speaks At LilUngton Adam K.

That was an increase of more than half a million dollars, or 16.5 per cent over January sales the pear before. Robert W. Winston, chairman of the State ABC Board, thinks the increase is not due to larger total consumption of liquor, or to in flationary influences so much as to the fact purchases of liquor are being channeled into legal outlets rather than bootleg joints. The chairman points out that over a million and a quarter dollars of January sales accrued in Mecklen burg, Catawba a.\d Rowan counties, in the heart of the legally arid Piedmont., and another third of a million in Asheville, surrounded by an otherwise “dry” area of 20-odd counties.
