Pickett's Arrest Recalled as Lee's Birthday Is Observed By BOB CUNNINGHAM It must have been a tough decision for Gen. Robert E. Leethe man whose birthday the South celebrates today." Gen. George Pickett had led the epochal charge of the 15,000 Confederates on the last day of Battle of Gettysburg July 3, 1863. It was the greatest action of its kind in American history and it won immortality for Pickett and men, although the charge failed to break the Union center.

Half of Pickett's men were shot down by the massed Union cannon and musketry on Cemetery Hill. Orders Pickett Arrested Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey, This would be a new high record, considerably ing the income total in calendar 1953, the year the boom abated. Total national production itself will slightly exceed that of 1953. Undersecretary Marion B.

Folsom said, Mr. forecast. of a comhas plete return to 1953 volume optimistic than most of the economists have been predicting for this year. The rapidity of recovery in the last two months has led some of them to revise their estimates. CORPORATION PROFITS TO GAIN Corporation profits will be larger in this calendar year, but their taxes will be lower in the fiscal year after allowing for the higher profits: This drop in tax receipts by the Treasury is blamed on the outworking of the "mills plan" has been pushing tax payments of most companies into the first half of the fiscal year.

(Corporations soon are to have to estimate their profits for the next following year, and start paying on these estimates. By 1960 they, will be making payments once again in equal instalments four times a year, but the Treasury collecting profits taxes six months in advance. This six-month or forward thus have been built Government receipts will, this decade. All this makes employment for accountants.) The assumption that interest rates will remain low is to be found in the forecast of the interest on the national debt in the next fiscal year. It's expected to be $175,000,000 less than the current bill.

President Eisenhower explains this is because of lower rates on recent refundings, Rates on the national debt, he explains, determine the general level of interest. But now, on March 31, 1865. Gen. Lee ordered the arrest of Gen. Pickett.

It was all because Pickett left his command at critical time to attend a fish fry three miles behind his lines, given by fellow officer. Pickett's absence, Gen. Phil Sheridan's cavalry division savagely attacked Five Forks and broke through the thin, attenuated Confederate lines. It was the last big battle of the Civil War, and it lost the position at Five Forks, making the evacuation of Petersburg and Richmond inevitable. The battle might have been lost if Pickett had been there in command, for the Union forces vastly outnumbered the Confederates.

But it was a lapse of duty at a critical hour, and Lee could not put up with neglect at the post of duty. On April 9, just a few days after Five Forks fell, came Appomattox and the end. Pickett Visits Lee Mr. Love Col. John S.

PERKINS Seripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 The Eisenhower Administration, which believes in more powers for state and local governments, also believes a national eye should be kept on financial operations. The Federal budget just submitted proposes to fill a gap in this information by including funds for the Census Bureau to develop annual state-by-state estimates of expenditures, receipts and changes in debt of state and local governments. The budget points these Mr.

Perkins out that units are important in the national economy because in total they spend annually over 000-about half of what will be disbursed Federally in the next fiscal year. Figures Guide Leaders The increased appropriation is a proposed additional $400.000 which also will cover information on national income and analysis of business trends. This is one of a number of proposed expansions of statistical services which, if authorized by Congress, are intended to produce more and better figures primarily for guidance of Federal leaders. Altogether, the major statistical programs will be allotted $32.200.000 next fiscal year, if Congress follows the recommendations, in comparison to 000 this year. needs of business, agriculture, labor and Government for accurate and prompt knowledge of the ebbs and flows in all major areas of our economic life," the budget says, "require improvement and strengthening four basic system of statistical intelligence." Employment Study Urged The Administration's awareness of the job problem is indicated emphasis placed on "the period of adjustment from an unusually high level of defense spending." It says, "The need for greater detail on the labor force, further improvement of statistics on the extent and incidence of unemployment, and more information on the employment situation and outlook in specific areas, has been made apparent during the transition Increases are recommended to enable the Census Bureau (Commerce Department) and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (Labor Department) to strengthen their programs in this field.

Plans Wide Survey Plans of BLS, it was learned. include the gathering of expanded information on state and local employment, labor turnover by states and important localities, annual labor force and unemployment surveys in about 20 industrial areas, different each year; a new program on workmen's compensation figures; expanded work on industrial injuries, additional wage surveys in specific industries, and information on construction and labor requirements of those industries. Much BLS work will be in co-operation with states, and much of the additional money will be used some of the bureau's to states, although neimbussion staff also is planned. To Extend Program Census Bureau plans include improvement and extension of its present large volume of statistical programs: completion of its agricultural census and a survey of manufacturers in mineral industries. A new program is intended to determine changes in the amount of housing since 1950.

Expansions are proposed also in statistical services of the Department of Agriculture, Public Health Service, Internal Revenue Service, Federal Trade Commission, and Securities and Exchange Comr-1 P.TA DIES "NASHVILLE.

swapped words in the Senate yesterday over the proper interpretation of a State Department report on 90 persons McCarthy termed "suspects" in 1950. McCarthy asserted the text of the State Department letter pletely contradicts" a statement Johnston made Sunday that none was found to be disloyal. Johnston disputed that. And he said some of the persons mentioned by McCarthy now are working for Federal agencies. The exchange was touched off when McCarthy put the text the letter into the Congressional Record along with a newspaper story whose headline said the State Department "clears" the persons accused by McCarthy five McCarthy said he was not blaming the paper at all because he said Johnston's statement on the matter justified the headline, But he added he hoped "it was a case of misquotation" as far as the South Carolinian was concerned.

McCarthy told his colleagues then that 69 of 80 persons he accused in 1950 were no longer with the State Department and he considered this "a pretty good average." The 80 were persons MeCarthy named secretly in 1950 in addition to 10 he accused publicly. Sen.

"I have the 80 names in my Johnston said, adding again that the State Department checked all of them and found "not one has been tried and convicted" of aiding Communism while a Government employe.

Little Girl Buys Gallon The next customer was Carol Vitiello, a 5-year-old polio vic-1 tim from Washington, who had been supplied with a gasoline automobile for the occasion. Carol ordered six gallons of gas, then changed the order to three gallons.

This still was too much, as the tank on the little car held less than one. The Vice President's next and last customer was an automobile from the District of Columbia Chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Inside was songstress Joan Weber of "Let Me Go, Lover," fame, who is entertaining at a supper club. The VFW car didn't really need gas either. The tank ran over as soon as Nixon started to pour.
