Urges US Government To Levy General Sales Tax WASHINGTON U.S. Chamber of Commerce Wednesday night urged the government to take some of the load off its income tax system by levying a general excise (sales) tax on everything except food, rent and clothing.

"A general excise tax at a low uniform rate and free from duplication, should be made a part of the federal tax structure," the Chamber said up iis sion of polio virus. He said the Salk vaccine appears to augment personal and community standards of hygiene in the U. S. in reducing the spread of polio in the throat. But, he added, "It is as yet uncertain whether the trend of the experience of the United States since introduction of vaccination is an expression of periodic fluctuation in incidence of this disease or an expression in the effect of vaccination." Dr.

Salk'said the "killed-virus" vaccine he developed gives indication of reducing the spread of poliomeyelitis or viruses through throat secretions. "However, time rather than opinion will reveal the significance of the trends and will provide an answer to the question of the relative importance of different roots of virus excretion in transmission of infection from three-day convention.

In a formal opinion, the department ruled that state police have the right to prohibit the launchings under the state fireworks law.

The ruling applies to all cases except those where the local community has granted an applicant a permit for a "supervised public display." This would put him in the same category as the companies which-put on displays for fairs "which are licensed municipality for public exhibitions. The formal opinion, handed down by Deputy Attorney General Frank P. Lawley was an answer to a request by State Police Commissioner Earl J. Henry. CKASH IN I1ERSHEY Damage estimated at $60 resulted from a two-car accident on Route 422 in Hershey last night, Harrlsburg State Police reported.

The drivers were identified as Dstty Mae Stiller, 22, of White Haven Route One, and George. Brandt, 53, of 404 East Chocolate Hershey. The police said Brandt's car was parked'and the Stiller woman was attempting to park when the mishap occurred. Record Prices For Fruits, Crops Paid To Farmers WASHINGTON Record high prices for fruits and vegetables and substantial rises in prices of cotton and some feed grains sent the general level of farm prices up another 1.14 per cent during the month ended April 15. This increase came on top of a 4 per cent in March to strengthen Secretary of Agriculture Benson in his forecast that farm income in 19S8 would top lhal of 1957 by from 5 to 10 per cent.

It put farm prices at the highest point since''January 1953, the month the Eisenhower administration took office. The April price movement, reported late Wednesday by the Federal Crop Reporting Board, was accompanied by a one per cent increase in the level of prices paid by farmers for goods and services used in production and family living. As a consequence, farm prices remained at the March level of 87 per cent of parity. This compared with 82 per cent a year ago. Wednesday's price report did not take inlo account modest declines in prices of hogs and cattle that have taken place since mid- April.

These setbacks, which were seasonal in character, will show up in a price report to be issued a month from now. The increase in prices of vegetables, cotton and feed grains was offset in part by declines in prices for dairy products, eggs and poultry declines which also were seasenal in character. A major factor in the further advance in prices and fruits and vegetables was continued unfavorable growing conditions in some Southern commercial producing areas and the small supply of oranges caused by winter freezes in Florida. The report showed that corn prices jumped 12 cents a bushel or 12 per cent during the four- week period. This development could well influence some livestock farmers to ease up somewhat on recent heavy feedings of hogs and cattle.

Such a development, would be reflected in increases in -market supplies of hogs and cattle.

It carried no warehead, but the explosion of its fuel tanks blew a hole in the ground 12 feet across and 7 feet deep. "I heard the rocket fired," said 65-year-old William Lewis, owner of the farm, where it landed. "About a quarter of an hour later, I heard what I thought was a plane out of control. It seemed to be falling on the farm. "Seconds later, there was a terrific noise and explosion as the rocket buried itself in my field, 200 yards away.
