Recovering Slowly Mrs. Gunnar Johnson, who was rushed to the hospital so suddenly last week, is making a steady recovery and should be completely well after three or four months' rest. A spokesman for the Bell Telephone system told the House Ways and Means committee recently that excise taxes on telephone service are "unreasonably high and bundensos^e" to telephone users. He was Mark ft. Sullivan, president of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company. The committee is reviewing the existing excise tax structure. Long distance calls and ««x of 35 per cent, looal satvice *n excise tax it 15 fwr c«nt. Making it clear that, since the tax is paid by the telephone customers any reduction made would accrue directly and immediately, to telephone users, not to the telephone companies, Sullivan emphasized that: "Telephone service is a necessity to our modern way of life, yet it bears an unreasonably high and burdensome federal excise tax. "Of the four essential household utility services--water, gas, electricity and telephone--only telephone service is subject - to leased | any federal excise taj^. wire facilities carry an . excise I "The objectionable discriminatory aspects of, telephone cises are more sharply revealed light of the fact that they are at a higher level even tfean those imposed on most luxuries. "The present Federal excise tax rates were enacted under conditions which no longer prevail and should not be continued under present conditions." Only liquor and tobaqco bear higher tax rates than telephone service, Sullivan pointed out, and many luxury items bear less tax. Jewelry, furs, luggage and cabaret charges are taxed 20 per cent. Many other items such as musical instruments, radios and sports (equipment, and wagers, " such as ' betUng on are taxed at 1Q per cent, j .The. present high excise taxes on telephone" ^service are the outgrowth of conditions prevailing prior to World War II and during the war, he said, when steps were taken to discourage civilian telephone' usage. State regulatory bodies have taken a strong stand against the imposition of the high telephone excise taxes. The National Association of Railroad and Utilities Commissioners passed a resolution citing objections as have various' state regulatory groups. Sullivan also referred to independent polls made by the American Institute of Public Opinion Research corporation on overall' tax questions which not only. indicated public dissatisfaction with the telephone tax but ranked it at the top of the list of ^those most disliked. One of the polls summarized its findings by stating that in a nutshell, people say "lower the taxes on things we have to have."

Prisoners wh<r volunteer will be used as subjects of the tests. Medical authorities explain the need for experiments of this nature by pointing out that the practice of using blood transfusions is widening and that transfusions sometimes cause undesirable reactions. Untoward results are attributed to blood differences not yet fully understood. It is hoped that the Stateville experiments may throw additional light on this problem. 103 So.
