_ NUMBER 4 Hopes Brighter For Halting Theate ed •CIO Telephone Strike By ine Associated Press Hopes appeared brighter to day of averting a threatened na tion-wide strike by some 25,000 CIO telephone equipment work ers. The strike deadline is 5 a. m. (EST) Friday but the Federal 0 mediator said after all-night ne gotiations in New York he was “very optimistic” about a settle ment of the wage dispute. Representatives of the CIO Association o f Commuication Equipment Workers and the Western Electric Company plan ned to resume sessions this af ternoon. “The picture looks very bright,” said Thomas B. Steutel, # Federal mediator. The outlook for an agreement was termed “encouragin’’ by Henry L. Mayer, union attorney who is participating in the wage negotiations. The union, whose members in stall and maintain central-office telephone equipment in 43 states and the District of Columbia, called the strike in support of a 31 cents an hour across-the 0 board wage increase. Later it was reported to have cut its de mand to 11 to 16 cents an hour. Current wages average $1.15 an In one of the nation’s major strikes—the two-week-old work stoppage by CIO longshoremen —the Army prepared to use troops if necessary, to handle military cargo at strike-bound west coast ports. The troops will £ be used if enough civilian steve dores do not sign up, said Secre tary of the Army • Royall in Washington.

The union [struck 13 days ago for a 21 cent £ wage hike above the pay scale of $1.68 an hour. The companies have offered a pay boost of 12 1-2 cents. Hugh E. Sherida, a special mediator, continued efforts to settle the 16-day truck strike in New York City by AFL teams ters.

Labor Laws isincinnan. aepx. ib—lArj President Truman "has encour aged the open defiance of the law now engaged in by some of the more radical labor boss es," Senator Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio) declared yesterday. The Ohio Senator made the statement in reply to a letter released Tuesday by the chief executive. The letter accused Taft of an "entirely improper" attempt to "put the heat ' on the NLRB to act against the International Typographical Union, AFL., engaged in a dis pute with Chicago publishers. Taft'labeled the attack on himself as "merely an attempt to curry favor with the labor bosses who control the labor publicity to which he (Presi dent Truman) is looking for help in the election." Taft, chairman of the Sen ate labor committee, defended his appearance at a meoting with Chicago publishers' repre- ] sentatives and National Labor ! Relations Board officials last July 28, in a statement that said in part: "During the ten minutes I was present at the meeting, I made a general statement re lating to the importance cf prompt action in cases of this kind if the prosecuting divi sion of the board found that tne taels justified it. I urged that there be no delay simply because of Mr. Denham's (Robert Denham, NLRB gen eral counsel) absence, which might be prolonged because of his illness. I did not purport to pass on the facts in the case, except to say that ihe publih ers seemed to me to have made out a prima facie case. "Of course, I have a special interest in the enforcement of the National Labor Relations Act, as a chairman of ihe la bor committee and as a mem ber of the special committee to study the enforcement of the act. "The president in his letter says that he does not expect to interfere in the internal af fairs of ihe National Labor Re lations Board. If he finds that any branch of the executive department is failing to do its statutory or constitutional tduiy, it is not only his right •but his duty to call them to task for such failure. "The truth is that President Truman, by the veto message accepted so largely from ihe communist sympathizer I *-e Pressman, and by other pub lic statements, has encouraged the open defiance of the law now engaged in by seme of the more radical labor bosses." Rep. Andersen Says U. S. Backs Canada’s Spuds Washington, Sept. 16 —(AP)—: Rep. August H. Anderson (R Minn.) said today the govern ment is in effect supporting the price of Canadian potatoes. “This comes,” he told a re porter, “while American tax payers will be forced to pay up to $100,000,000 in 1948 for the tremendous surplus of potatoes gy6Wn in this country.” Anderson, chairman of a Spe cial food investigating commit tee, added: “So far this year about 3,500, 000 bushels of Canadian potatoes have been shipped into this country under 'a reduced duty and an additional 3,500,000 bush els will be brought in during the next 60 days. “Although President Truman has the authority to stop the im port of potatoes from Canada, he has not taken such action. “Unless Mr. Truman takes such action it will mean Ameri can taxpayers will be forced to provide more money to but ad ditional quantities of surplus American potatoes.” Vance Collins Named Head Of Jacket Band Vance Collins has been elect ed President of {he Roanoke Rap ids High School band and Shirley Stewart has been ap pointed as Drum Majorette, it was announced today by George Baird, band director.

For First Time In History Tax Man Will Tell You In Plain Talk How To Cut Income Tax Payments Washington, Sept. 16— (AP) For the first time in history the tax man is going to tell you how to cut your payments to the bone—and in plain language, too. About next January 1 you and 52,999,999 other taxpayers will receive a brand new pamphlet— “Helpful Information on Ho-.v to Prepare Your U. S. Incime Tax Return.” Unlike the old four page “In struction” leaflet—wh:on stress ed what you could not do—the new 16-pager tells \*hat you can do legally to make tax paying as easy as possible on your wallet. Though four times the sixe of the old tax guide, the new book let contains less than twice the number of words and those are in larger print for easier read ing. It also has a table of con tents for quick reference to any problem troubling you. “We have attempted in this pamphlet to tell the taxpayer the things he wants to know in lan guage he understands,” said In ternal Revenue Commissionei George J. Schoeneman. He ex pects it to be “warmly welcom ed,” he added. Here’s a sample of the new helpful treatment: After setting down the rules of what you can and cannot do; the new guide gives a list of examples like this one to help you with your deductions: “You can deduct cost of: “Safety equipment, dues to union or professional societies I “Tools and supplies “Fees to employment agencie* “Entertaining customers'. “You cannot deduct cost of; “Travel to and from work “Educational expenses “Nursemaids, even if she en ables parent to work "Entertaining friends “Bribes and illegal payments." There are examples also to show you what income you must report and what you mav skip, as well as which dependents, losses, gifts, interest payments, other tax payments and medical expenses may be claimed for tax deductions. As for the promise ot plain er language, compare these two paragraphs on “business and de ductions”: Old style: “Profit or loss from a business or profession must be explained in schedule C, except that farmers who keep no books or who keep books on the cash basis must obtain form 1040 F and fill it in instead of schedule C.” New style: “The law taxes a business or profession on its pro fits—not on its total receipts. Therefore, . form 1040 prov’dt s schedule C on page 2 of the form to help you subtract your profits from your recepits.” Whether you use the long “form 1040” or the brief table form, the new pamphlet is de signed to help you figure out tthe “lowest tax.” There’s nothing in it, howevei, to make that March 15 dead.hne any less painful. You may un derstand it better, that's nil. Truman, Dewey Map Campaign Nation Wide Trips Four Americans Are Recalled At Romanian Request Washington, Sept. 16.—(AP)— The State Department disclosed today that four members of the American Legation staff in Bu charest, Romania, have been re called on demand of the Roman ian government. Romania had acused the fcur of taking photographs in a for bidden zone. The United States rejected the accusation and declared that the Romanian government’s com plaints “do not conform to the facts”. This assertion was made in a note which was delivered by Minister Rudolph E. Schoenfeld to the Romanian Foreign Minis try yesterday. The note, released by the State Department today, accused Ro manian police in the city of Giur giu of having detained the two men and two women clerks of the legation staff for 17 hours incommunicado after the alleged photographing occurred. It charged that “for 16 hours no member of the groupi was al lowed food or water.” Against this “inexcusable ac tion of the Romanian authori ties,” Schoenfeld lodged what his own note called an energetic protest.” The four members of the lega tion staff involved in the incident were named in the note as Wayne Fisher, third secretary and vice consul, of Glidden, Iowa; Paul Green, an attache, of Neeark, Ohio; Miss Ruth Vir ginia Garr, a clerk, of San Francisco; and Miss Peggy Maggard, a clerk, of Kansas City, Mo. Super Speed Planes Under Construction Washington, Sept. 15 —(AP)— The Air Force acknowledged to day that half a dozen hitherto secret combat plane types are being built for speeds ranging up to supersonic.

Dewey jotted down new stop-and-talk dates today tut they put finishing touches on their cross country campaign plans.

Dewey, meanwhile dis closed plans to take in the north western states of Montana, Ida ho and Wyoming on his way back to Albany, N. Y. Both men are due to make major speeches a day apart in Los Angeles. There a contro versy developed. E. George Luckey, chairman of the Truman-Barkley ticket in Los Angeles, said the president will have to use Gilmore Stad ium for his September 23 talk because the Republicans had tied up the larger Hollywood Bowl “to rehearse some compli cated lighting effects” for Dew ey’s appearance the next night. Democratic National Chair man J. Howard McGrath promptly charged the GOP with “leasing an empty stadium” just to deny it to Mr. Truman. Calling that action “Un-Ameri can” McGrath said in New York “I am sure that Gov. Dewey on sober second thought will dis avow the action of his team mates on the so-called Dewey team.” ■uu». £idu warren, me no.
