4 Brief Review Of State, National And World News During The Past Week 3FAMOUS 30th DIVISION IS TO BE HONORED : Raleigh—The famous 30th (Old 'Hickory) Infantry Division, made 1 ^ap of troops from the Carolinas, ■Georgia and Tennessee, was hon ored in North Carolina Tuesday with the observance of “Old Hickory” Day. Gov. R. Gregg Cherry designa ted Tuesday as Old Hickory Day -and asked that all communities plan appropriate ceremonies pay ing tribute to the fighting record -arf the Old Hickory in two world ware. Governors of South Carolina and Tennessee also issued pro etamations that set aside Tuesday ■as 30th Division Day, and Gov. Ellis Arnall of Georgia issued a ^statement praising the division’s -outstanding combat record. CHERRY IS TO PUSH N. C. RURAL ROADS Wentworth—Governor R. Gregg "•Cherry renewed this week a de mand for more attention to the '■State's secondary and county roods, and said he was determined **to push this question until some thing is done.’’ ■“We’ve got a job to do on our - county roads, and we’re going to start right now in doing it.” He spoke at the annual get-together meeting of more than 400 person nel members of the State High way Commission’s fifth division. Cherry said he had no criticism whatever to make of the present State highway and public works •organization. “1 realize,” he said in his sec ond “dirt roads” speech of the week, “that this organization <the Highway and Public Works ’ Commission) has been severely handicapped during the last three years by the lack of equip ' snent, labor and materials. But, we’ve got to find a way to over come these difficulties and do a j better job starting now on our | county and secondary roads.” I LEADERS AGREE ON TAX REDUCTION PLA> Washington—A $5,920,000,00( tax reduction bill giving corpora tions greater relief than indivi duals but sweeping 12,000,000 in come taxpayers off the rolls wai approved by a Senate-House Con ference Committee. Subject to formal, final approv al—probably next week—by th< House, Senate and President, th< i legislation orders the followinj j reductions: Corporations—$3,136,000,000. Individuals—$2,644,000,000. Repeal of use tax on cars anc boats—$140,000,000. The Senate’s formula for cut ting individuals’ taxes was ac cepted without great effect ex cept in the topmost brackets where the House measure woulc have given more relief. Paradoxically, the “compro mise” calls- for larger cuts thar either the House or Senate Bill The House had voted reductions totaling $5,350,000,000, the Senate $5,788,000,000. RUSSIA SEEKS GERMAN INDUSTRIAL PLANTS Berlin—Russia has asked for about 40 of the best industrial plants in the western zones of Germany, including a number of I. G. Farben factories, for repara tions, a high American military government source said. The official, however, refused to give out a list of demands sub mitted by the Russians, who, ac cording to the Potsdam agree ment, would get 25 per cent of the area's industries and capital equipment not needed to main tain a German “standard of liv ing” economy. “Naturally the Russians would ask for the best plants,’ the offi cial declared. “Anybody would. But whether they get what they ask for when the reparations commission makes allocations to the various claimants is another question.” Edwards Furn. Co.

CAROLINA Automobile Tire Rationing Is Expected To Be Ended Soon Akron, O.—E. J. Thomas, pres '< ident of Goodyear Tire and Rub • ber Co., said this week that he had learned from “Washington ■ sources” that tire rationing would end by Dec. 31. He would not identify the sources. Thomas made the state ment during an interview with a group of 16 correspondents who are making a tour of reconvert * ing industry. “Even with the end of tire ra tioning,” Thomas said, “the con sumers will still have to scratch for tires. However, the supply situation will get better early | next year.” I He predicted that there will be ja demand for 70,000,000 passen I ger car tires and 13,300,000 bus and truck tires in 1946. Thomas said he believed that there will be approxmately the same de mand in 1947 to meet the great pen-up market for replacements and original new car equipment. By 1948, Thomas said, the flood of tire-buying will subside and he estimated demand in that year at 62,000,000 passenger tires and 10,000,000 bus and truck tires. “We are confident the indus try can meet this demand with existing facilities, provided it op erates full blast,” he said. “That is, it’s got to keep going 24 hours a day, six days a week.” MacARTHUR HAS NO PLANS OF RETURNING Tokyo — General MacArthur I has “no immediate plans” for vis jiting the United States, his head quarters said this week. War Department officials in Washington said they assumed MacArthur would come home for a visit “in the near future.” There was speculation that he might ar rive at the capital between No vember 1 and 8. Although the House and Senate have passed resolutions inviting MacArthur to address a joint congressional session, the head quarters source said the General has received no official notifica tion of the invitation.
