tax did not matci ..■!]> reduce the
volume of salt's.
This is on tin· b.i-i- of now cut
.-alt - alone, and tl'i if i.- a likelihood
that tin- federal tax, if adopted,
would apply to sale of used as well
a.- brand new motor vehicles.
There are no exact figures on tola Γ
sales of new automobile.- last year m
.North Carolina and no figures at all
on total sales of used cars; but from
the office of the North Carolina Au
tomobile Dealers Association figures 1
have been obtained which will ap-1
proximate the new car totals with 1
sufficient accuracy to make a few :
general statements and comparison·*.
These figures show that during
194(1 new car sales were 57.673 in1
number (and this count is accurate
because taken from Motor Vehicle!
Bureau figures on new car registry-I
Uons) and of a total value of $55.- !
. 62.642; thi:- value being carefully
worked out from accurate figures on
[he number ol ca^'s of each make sold
.nd on best ,n ailable estimates ol
the aveiage sales price of each make.
A twenty per cent levy on that !
calue would exceed $11.000.000; the
price Tar Heels would have to pay
if such a tax were to be applied.
By way ol comparison, thi state's ;
alt.- tax for the fiscal year ended
June 3d. 1D4'V yielded slightly more ι
than >12,000.0011. while the state in
ci'iiio tax pri'd iced approximately i

Iceland
Severs Ties
With Denmark
Coppenhagen, May 21.— (ΛΙ1)
[celand's charge d'affairs formally
aotified the Danish foreign office
.tvterday that his country had de
eded tu cancel its union with I) u
nark and become a republic.
The note said the Icelandic gov
ernment reached its decision ur>
.inimously May 17, and that the re
public status will become effective
is soon as the tie with Denmark is |
formally dissolved
Iceland, the note continued, had
the right to cancel a 23-vear-old l
treaty of union before it expired ι
in 1943, because Icelandic affairs
formerly conducted by Denmark now
:ire being handled by Iceland. Futh
ermore. it was pointed out, Denmark
io longer was m a position to hand!'.'
-uch affairs.
There was no official Danish re
action to the note severing a ti··
which dates back to 1280. Iceland
achieved independence in 1918 but
remained united with Denmark '.·)
the extent that the Danish king was
also liing of Iceland.
Stockholm dispatches said the new
republic, whose althing (parliament) j
dates back to 930, will appoint a '
temporary chief of state (some re-I
ports said he had been appointed)
pending the introduction of a repub- (
lican constitution,
Iceland now is under protection
■if British troops which were landed
there in the spring of 1940 following
Adolf Hitler's conquest of Denmark
and the low countries.
