West Virginia House to Vote on Sales and Severance Taxes
In a tight test for two tax plans aimed at boosting state revenue for education, the Senate backed a 9 million dollar consumers sales and use tax while a 12 million dollar severance tax moved forward.

Teetering Policies Blamed Asians Losing Confidence in U S Says Missionary
Dr James R Graham of the Billy Graham Evangelical Association says American policy in Asia undermines non Communist goodwill. He argues failure to back Chiang Kai-shek weakens morale among anti Reds on the China mainland and leads to calls that the U S is a paper tiger. He noted observers watched Washington s dealings with Nationalist China closely and felt dishonor rather than war would result.
