Sale Conducted By Villiams and Alston Clark Land Auction Company War's Effect On State Employment Is Yet Felt RALEIGH, While average text ile industry employment in North Carolina declined by 13.9 percent from the peak year of 1942 to the last war year of 1945, average em ployment in the tobacco industry increased 18 4 percent in the same period, it is revealed in figures re Henry E. Kendall, chairman of the State Unemployment Compensation Commission. Textile employment in 1942, highest because Selective Service withdrawls had not been heavy up to that period, accounted for 61.1 per cent of all manufacturing em ployment covered by the UC Law, with 236,522 workers. By 1945 average employment had dropped to 203.588 workers, when it repre sented only 57 7 percent of all manufacturing employment, due to elimination of third, and even second shifts, operated dcring the war period. Tobacco headed the list in in creases in employment from 1942 to 1945. but employment in chemi cals and fertilizer activities in creased by 3 4 percent; workers in rubber products increased by 494 8 percent but dropped again soon after; iron and steel workers in creased by 26 3 percent; workers in agricultural and industrial ma chinery increased 3.0 percent; in motor vehicles, 51.5 percent, and 45.1 percent in miscellaneous man ufacture. A remarkable increase in employ ment was shown in city and sub urban bus transportation, as well as in taxicah and air transportation, due to war conditions early in the year. Employment in eatinc places also jumped in the three years by 47.7 percent and in wholesale trade by 34 3 percent. Banks increased employment by 21 4 percent and brokerage and security agencies by 28 5 percent. Service industries all showed gains in employment notable among them being private vocational schools, by 152 2 per cent, and radio broadcastiiiL'. 3:i percent. On the declining employment side of the picture in the 1942-45 period, along with textiles, was construction work, which employ ed 42,111 fewer workers in 1945 than in 1942, a decline of 74 9 per cent. Also, it is shown that in 1945 there were 10,260 fewer con struction workers than in 1940. Employment in all phases of mining declined 19.3 percent in the three years, principal item in which was strategic mica, mined in im portant quantities for war purpos es. Some activity in the produc tion of coal and pctrolium products in 1942 had been discontinued en tirely in 1945. In the professional group a heavy production was shown, due to retirement of a large force of engineers from the State after employment in con struction of military bases. Employment decreases were shown in the three years in other activities covered by the UC Law, including lumber manufacture, structural clay products, in truck infi and warehousing, in water transportation, electric light and power utilities, lumber and build ing and warehousing, in water apparel stores, credit agencies, speculative building, real estate and loan offices. "It is remarkable that, even with restrictions on civilian production, need for meeting the problems of reconversion and the release of at least 30,000 war workers in August. September and October, 1945. all manufacturing in North Carolina showed a decline of only 8.8 per cent in employment and employ ment in all activities in the State declined only 11.2 percent from 1942 to 1945," said Chairman Kin-dall. Committee Looking For Lower Income Taxes Is Bucking Pres. Truman WASHINGTON A study to de termine if individual income taxes can be cut next year and if so, how much is now under way by the joint congressional internal revenue committee, it was learned this week. The committee also is looking into all aspects of corporate tax changes which might serve as an incentive to Industrial production without impairing the govern ment's income. But its findings may wind up in a congressional pigeonhole. Presi dent Truman has said emphatical ly that present high tax rates should be retained next year in an effort to balance the budget and perhaps pay off a bit of the $268,281,000,000 national debt. The committee's study therefore is only a "preparedness measure" in case Mr. Truman has a change of heart or congress decides to do something about it regardless. The outcome of the November congressional elections may have a strong hearing on lax cuts next year. Top-ranking house Republi cans are issuing statements saying in effect: "Elect a Republican con gress and we'll cut your taxes by 20 per cent." The house ways and means com mittee, where all tax legislation originates, has before it several bills aimed at dropping the war time increases in excise taxes on items such as furs, theater tickets, long distance phone calls and jew elry. But the committee has con sidered none seriously and they are fated to die when congress adjourns next week. No definite program has been set for the ways and means com mittee when the next congress meets in January. It was under stood, however, that it may hold hearings on the whole question of tax exemptions now contained in the law.
