Attorney Oeneral Harry McMullan is having a little ex « perience with that problem in con nection with the brief he is pre paring in the case of the Negro seeking admission to the Univer sity. Mullan sought assistance from associate counsel and from leading minds in the legal pro fession—and almost wishes he hadn’t. Each of the lawyers has his own idea about exact words and expressions to convey the com mon idea and the attorney gen eral and his staff are finding it difficult to fit some of these ex pressions into the body of the text. And fact is, from a layman** viewpoint it doesn’t make any dif ference, Just so the idea is gotten across. > __ CONFUSION Much of the confusion and Inconsistency in language of legislative acts is due to tinkering by too many artisans on the phraseology of the original / tect of the Mil.

Tax On Used Cars Seen WASHINGTON, May 18— Os) House tax writers considered slap pA« a tax on the sale of some *o«ond-hand cai§ today AS *<po*- ribte ’source of IddNienal revenue to help pay rearmament costs. The Treasury did not recommend a taion the sale of used Cars and it did not appear that the tax framing House Ways and Means Committee would agree to a flat rate applying to all such sales. Some members said, however, they favored a tax which would apply in cases where a new car Is sold within one year after the or iginal-purchase. This would be de signed to put a damper on the practice,’ T which some congressmen said was becoming widespread again, of selling a late model as « used car after It had been driven only a few mises, 47 Tar Heel Vets Head Home CAMP STONKMAN, Calif., May 18— IW—Forty-seven excited sold iers, veterans of nine months of fighting in Korea, headed far their homes in North Carolina today.

Navy Jets and Corsair fighters roared overhead in. an aerial guard of honor. .Ten' flag-decked tijgs spouted water and tooted their whstles. At the Fort Mason dock in San Francisco was a military police bagpipe band in kilts.
