ABILENE
By WENDELL BEDICHEK
Two things would have to be
done to provide the plant and
equipment the Abilene schools
need to bring them to the proper
level, and to pay the teachers a
minimum salary of $1,800 a year.
• • •
Those two things would be: (1)
t higher school tax rate voted by
the tax-payers and, (2) an in-
c hase in the total of valuations of
' property for taxation.
The total of all city taxes, in-
cluding levies for schools, now is
$2.50. The valuations total slight-
ly more than *22,000,000.
This *2.50 tax and the highest
income possible from it now are
, divided as follows:
School tax .......*0.80 $176,000
City tax given
schools ...........39 85,800
Other city tax
income ..........$1.31 $288,200
The $1.19 now devoted to
schools is divided as follows:
Maintenance .....$1.00 $220,000
Sinking fund .....19 41,800
• • •
Under state law $1.50 is the
highest tax rate an independent
school district's tax-payers can
authorize, and it can be authorized
[ - omay by an election.
By following an example set
some years ago by San Angelo the
Abilene tax-payers could vote $1.50
for schools and leave the present
19-cent school sinking fund tax for
the city to pay. This could be
done by an amendment declaring
the city can assess $2.50 EXCLU-
SIVE of the tax for schools in-
stead of the present provision—
$250 INCLUDING 80 cents as the
school tax.
If our tax-payers should then
vote the highest school tax rate al-
lowed. leaving the present school
sinking fund tax with the city, the
maximum revenue would total
$330,000 and this would be entire-
ly for maintenance—until addi-
tional school bonds were voted
This would take out of the city's
list of tax levies the present 80-
cent school tax rate, leaving *1.70
of the city's present total of *2 50
Of this $170 rata, i9 cents still
would be school bond sinking fund
tax for school bonds already voted.
This would leave a net total of
*1.51 for all other city purposes.
The highest sum that could be
collected from this $1.51 tax at
present valuations would be $332,-
•THE FINAL RESULT WOULD
BE THAT THE CITY'S INCOME
FOR OTHER THAN SCHOOL
PURPOSES WOULD BE UN-
CHANGED WHILE THE TOTAL
INCOME OF THE SCHOOLS FOR
MAINTENANCE WOULD BE IN-
CREASED $110,000.

Strike Bill
WASHINGTON, May 27.)-
AFL President William Green to-
day denounced President Truman’s
strike-draft program as “slave labor
under fascism."
Green declared in a state-
ment that the AFL will resist
the legislation, already pass-
ed by the house and now be-
fore the senate, "to its last
breath." He said the same op-
position will be thrown against
the Case labor disputes bill.
The measure requested by Presi-
dent Truman st s joint session of
congress Saturday, Green said,
“ranges the government on the
side of private industry against
labor."
The legislation, against which
Republican senators have opened
a campaign of amendments, pro-
vides among other things for the
military induction of employes who
refuse to work for a government-
operated plant.
Green’s statement was issued as
Senate Majority Leader Barkley

week on the senate version of
the Case labor disputes bill.
Among other things, the mea-
sure would require s 60-day
cooling off period.

Asks for Cut of
Cl-Officer Cap
WASHINGTON, May 27—-
The Army’s GI gripe board recom-
mended today that the very terms
“officer" and “enlisted man” be
abolished as one step to narrow the
official and social gap between
them.
Reporting to Secretary of War
Patterson, on its sifting of postwar
complaints the inquiry group head-
ed by Lt. Gen. James H. Doolittle
proposed a thorough revision of ex-
isting differences in pay, promo-
tion, furloughs, decorations and
food. It called too for new meas-
ures aimed at raising the standard
of leadership in the army.
But the big break with tradition
came in the proposal that all mill-
tary personnel be referred to mere-
ly as “soldiers.”
Abolition of the band salute ex-
among other recommendations
made by the board composed ex-
clusively of veterans.
"Americans look with dis-
favor upon any system which
grants unearned privileges to
a particular class of individuals
and find distasteful any ten-
dency to make arbitrary social
distinctions between two parts
of the army," the group con-
cluded la ita 53-page report.
"There were irregularities, in-
justices in handling of enlisted
personnel, and abuses of privil-
eges in the recent war to such an
extent aa to cause widespread and
deep-seated criticisms.”
On the other side of the picture
was the conclusion that "in the
strict tones, the phrase, caste sys-
tem.’ is inappropriately applied to
our army at the present time since
the selection of individuals for
commissioned rank is based on
democratic principles."
The board’s criticisms were tem-

Many labor leaders were out-
spoken today in their condemna-
tion of President Truman’s pro-
posed anti-strike legislation, but
| a cross section of business men
greeted the bill with acclamation
Smarting under the President’s
rebukes. A. F. Whitney, president
of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, said his union would
use its entire *47.000.000 treasury
if necessary "to defest Mr. Tru-
man if he tries to run again for
president.”
"My board of directors already
has authorized me to spend #2
500.000 to defeat the members of
congress who have voted for the
shackling labor legislation Mr
Truman has proposed,” Whitney
said.
Whitney’s threat to stack his en-
tire treasury against s second term
for President Truman set politi-
cally-conscious Washington buxs-
ing today.
The Mg question was:
What will organized labor do
this fall and In 1948, now that Mr
Truman has gone “tough” on ma-
jor strikes?
Whitney so far is the first
to venture s flat prediction.
He declared:
“Truman never will be pres-
ident again after 1948.”
On the other side. George W
Catts, executive manager of the
Kansas City chamber of commerce,
said he had sent a mesaage to the
president commending his action
in the rail strike snd assuring him
of support on the labor bill He
said the message was sent after the
chamber checked 25 business and
civic groups
Among the most bitter of the
labor loaders was Michael J. Quill,
president of the Transport Work-
ers union (CIO), who said:
President Truman has commit-
ted treason against the people of
the United States. He has become
the number one strike-breaker of
the American bankers and rail-
roods."
An industry spokesman. Thom-
as B. Freeman, president of the
Chicago association of commerce,
said Mr. Truman deserved "the
highest commendation” for his
"courageous step toward reassert-
ing the power of the United States
government to protect the public
interest"
