George Sees High Tax Rates All Next Year WASHINGTON High tax rates will continue through next year, and even then tne United Stales won't be living within its income unless it whittles three major ex pense items. Senator George iD Ga i. the Senate's top tax man stated this week. He said the government has far loo many employes with 3,000,000 on its payrolls, but that the major savings will have to be made in Army "and Navy spending. Looking over the cuts of $050. 000.000 for the Navy and $1,000. 000.000 for the Army, recommend ed by President Truman in his budaet review, Senator George said: "I don't know whether circum stances will justify more reductions in those two departments. I would have to study the recommendations of the military men more thor oughly. "But those are the only two places major savings can be made. We can save a little by cutting down on the number of federal employes, but not enough." Senator Elbert D. Thomas (D Utah), chairman of the Senate Mili tary Affairs Committee, said things "have gone so well in the occupa tion of Japan and Korea that more than $1,000,000,000 can be saved in the cost of occupying those coun tries." Still more could be saved, he said, if we could unify Germany. "Desunity cost us a lot after the last war and resulted in the rise of Hitler," he said.

The Hendrix Family Attributes Many Escapes From Prison to Weather RALEIGH State Prison Direc tor Clyde O. Robinson and Prison Inspector Kyle Matthews attribute the high number of escapes from prison camps last month to a va riety of causes. They agree that one good reason is the inability of the prison sys tem to hire qualified men as re placements for guards and camp officers who leave for better pay elsewhere. Then. Matthews says the depart ment usually has one or two bad months each year. "It just seems that when one or two prisoners get away, they hear about it in other camps and decide to take off. too," he explains. Robinson thinks the warm weath er in July was responsible for some of the escapes, and he aLso points out that recently road gangs have been cutting right-of-way for the Highway Department. This puts the inclose to woods and swamps into which they can disappear by taking a few steps. There were 61 escapes last month, compared with 33 in June. Watch For The Formal Opening Of The G. I.
