'Round the U.S.

. CARVILLE, La. Jan. 9.—Here, as you might have suspected if you had bothered to give the matter a thought, is the birthplace of something new and exceptional in American folklore, ~~ When you consider the nature of ti close community of people normal in all respects save their affliction with leprosy; intelligent, imaginative people shut up in an odd little world of their own—it could not be otherwise. Where life itself is almost fabulous, legend springs from it naturally and luxuriantly, 2 You'll hear stories of miracles— and why not, since the promin treatment of leprosy has aroused the hope that miracles may become commonplace? They wrought great works which, of course, improve with age. There is the background of giants of the old days before the Carville state colony was transformed into the modern and efficient U. S. marine hospital. There were fine painters in the community, and great musicians and; since the population of the hospital is cloaked in complete anonymity, nobody can say what is legend and what is not,

One of First 8 Patients

THERE were talented engineers and skilled athletes—a first baseman who until recently gave the local baseball team a reputation up and down the river. And then, rising above all the rest like Paul Bunyan amid lesser products of homespun mythology, is George Pepalou. It appears that he came to the old state colony as one of the first eight patients in 1895,

Aviati LEADING spirits of private aviation had some things on their minds and said them in Washington recently, The theme of the conference was honest thinking: The aircraft industry was told to stop kidding itself and by all means to stop doing business solely with itself. The needs of the novice market would have to be studied and met, or else private aviation would languish. "Airplanes must be tailored to suit, not the trained flier, but the young man or woman who has neither the time nor the money to learn to fly conventional air- | craft or to maintain them. A ladybird insisted that the average American won't take the time, nor spend the money, learning how fo fly difficult airplanes as long as there are so many other attractive hobbies lying around loose. “You can buy a nice fur coat for what it costs to learn how to fly,” she said. “And what girl won't take the fur coat first.” She's right,

Roasted by Counsel THE CIVIL aeronautics administration was roasted properly by the legal counsel of the Pilots and Mechanics association. If the viewpoint of the topside were reflected all the way down, we'd have no quarrel with the CAA—but it’s the high-handed, hard-boiled, inconsiderate, and discourteous “inside” group ° of the CAA bureaucracy that's upsetting the privateaviation picture. Ted Wright is the topside—fair and competent. But there must be a housecleaning of the rest. Then there was bitter complaint that privatepilot flight examiners were administering their jobs

He had been suffering from leprosy a good 10 years before that—physically, that is. He never appears to have suffered mentally or spiritually from anything. He enjoyed his life in Carville, even in the dismal days of its beginning—got a lot of fun out of it— although there did come. a time when he decided to find out what sort of fun there might be elsewhere in the world, and went away, He came back after a time with an incredible collection of tales and enough experience to make him contented for the rest of his days.

poorly—and that the practice of filing suits to collect fines for alleged violations of civil air regulations was becoming a mild form of legalized extortion. An aviation insurance expert predicted that private-flying deaths would total 300,000 per year in a few years if the pre-war accident curve continued to parallel the pre-war motor casualty curve ‘of 35,000 to 40,000 annual deaths. Civil aviation has sold its birthright down the river for a government subsidy to commercial flight training—resulting in a large number of additional flight students. But with this government subsidy went increasing government controls over private flying. >

Cards Laid on Table

ANOTHER: healthy consensus was that state aviation commissions were the only offset to overbearing expansion of federal control over all private aviation. The case of the recent Kentucky “good roads amendment,” whereby taxes on aviation fuel are diverted to building and maintaining roads, was quoted to prove that lack of local interest could result in such limitation of private air transportation. Those aviation fuel taxes should be devoted to building, improving and maintaining Kentucky's, commereial airports, iis

It also was urged that state aviation commissions

be incorporated as integral agencies of the state governments. State interest in general aviation is too vital to be entrusted to volunteer advisers. The men-

ace of surface transportation interests grabbing control of aviation was strongly protested. Again state aviation commissions were urged as the only defense. The haphazard location of municipal airports was

roundly scored.

The Washington conference of private-aviation representatives certainly laid the cards on the table.

By §8. BURTON HEATH NEA Staff Writer EW YORK, Jan. 9.—At this point, if your total income ‘as shown in Item 5 does not exceed $4,999.99, you can use the tax table on page 4 of Form 1040, if you choose. For those who are sure that they do not want to try listing their deductions, let's dispose of the table right now. r ” nr IN THE gray-background columns find your tax bracket. John and Ida Doe, who have $3600.68 in Item 5, select the “At least 3650 but less than 3700” line. They have four personal exemptions, By following ‘the $3650-$3700 line across into the column headed “4” they find a tax figure of $346. If all their income were John's, or all were Ida'8, $346 would be their table tax. But $632.47 was Ida's income. She is entitled to a tax cut of 3 per cent on her income up to $500. So the Does take $15 off the $346 shown by the table, and find their joint tax to be $331. This they enter on page 1 as Item 6. x = = ‘AS ITEM 7 the Does note (A) that John's employer withheld $301.60 from his wages during the year, and (B) that, with an estimate during the year, they sent $10 to the collector. They add these prepayments and get a total, for the right-hand column, ot $311.60. Subtracting the prepayment (Item 7) from their tax obligation (Item 6) they get $19.40 for Item 8, which is what they still owe.
