Doesn’t Agree STATE SENATOR Robert Miller of Bloomington, Mr. Cape= hart’s campaign manager, naturally does not agree with the proTucker findings. He says that Mr. Capehart is in “excellent shape” in all districts of the state, except the fourth and ninth. “The fourth,” he said, “is a problem.” (The fourth is G. O. P. State Chairman Ralph Gates’ home district.) He said that as a courtesy the Capehart forces would stay out

Tucker invaded the seventh. “But if anyone in the Tucker camp thinks that the seventh isn’t 100 per cent behind Capehart, they're all wet,” he said.

Governor on Veto

IN ANSWERING a question by the United States News, Governor Schricker indicated that had he been a member of the U, S. senate he too would have joined in overriding the president's tax veto bill, “The duty of providifig adequate revenue for the normal needs of government and the prosecution of the war lies with the congress of the U, S. and not with the president,” the governor said in his answer which was printed in the current issue of the magazine. ; The magazine asked for his answer to the question: “Is a federal sales tax the answer to the continued demand of the adminis tration for more revenue?” “No convincing proof for the

"need of a federal sales tax has

been presented, in my opinich,” said the governor. “It should only be adopted as a matter of last resort, when all other plans have been exhausted and should never be imposed on food and clothing so essential to the great mass of our people. . . . I think it is fair to assume that there will be a ‘continued demand’ for more revenue if we expect to prosecute the war to a successful conclusion.” 2 s »
