Claude Denf, secretary for (he Gaston county commissioners, whose statement on the sale of beer and wine in relation with the county tax rate was -presented In the Saturday Issue of The Gazette, requests this newspaper to clear up a false Impression created by that article.

"If any impression was left with the people to the effect that I favor the continued sale of beer and wine In Gaston county," said Mr. Dent, "(hen I want that Impression corrected. I regret that this story Mas presented In such a manner that It appeared that I have been expressing an opinion on the subject. This is not true. "The office of the county commissioners is a public office," he continued, "where we give out public information.

I repeat that the figures used in that slory are correct to the best knowledge I have. The only erroneous part was (hat It appeared thai I was making certain claims for one side in the dispute. Anybody can cnme to this office and get information on taxes or on tax rates." In the story in question, Mr. Dent was quoted as saying that if beer and wine are outlawed by the voters, who go to the polls in a special election on August 28, the county will low about 553,000 in revenue, and may have to make up the loss by raising the tax levy five or six cents on $100 property valuation. The secretary pointed out that Gaston county will receive during the fiscal year about $50,000 in kickbacks from beer sources.

After counting in about $3,200 in beer licease funds, this makes a total of more than 553,000 that will be shut off if the sale of beer and wine is stopped. Mr. Dent further stated that the information he provided for Saturday's story was that it would take a tax levy of 5c to 6c per S100 valuation to raise $53,000. the amount IJOH- coming In from beer sales. "This does not necessarily mean," Mr.

Dent pointed out, "and it was not my intention to state," that opplng off the beer revenue would automatically and arbitrarily cause an increase of this amount In the tax rate. "It would cause such an increase, provided appropriations remained the same, which they might not in the final budget draft, and provided no revenue excesses developed from other sources to offset this loss, or any part of It. 'The figures were correct, with these qualifications, and there was no error on that score. But I do want to correct any impression arising from the manner of presentation of these facts which may have led anyone to believe that I was entering any argument on either of this question, or doing anything other than merely providing these figures as public information."

The big plant, employing more thin 2,000 workers, was eloied down yesterday afternoon after the Textile Workers Union of America (CIO) posted a picket line at the mill gate. Two hours later, William H. Grier, genera! manager, announced that he was halting operations indefinitely.

He explained it would he flneconomica! to try to run the plant with the few workers who death. Before entering service, he James, Bill Dilling, and Gene Brown. The union instructed its members not to report to work after Vs. negotiations with the management broke down without agreement on a new contract. "One of the chief differences, Grier said, was the company's refusal to grant the TWUA a union shop.

He reported he had offered a wage raise of nine cents an hour and other benefits. The average current wage within the bargaining unit of 1,900 TWUA workers is to 11.10 per hour, Grier said. ury certificates which have carried per cent, for example, will give place to certificates paying I per cent. That means it will cost the government 512.50 to barrow $1,000 instead of the S11.25 is now is paying.

Even before the storm was over, these men were making sure that your electric service would be ready when breakfast time came.
