State Income Tax Hits $8,411,293
Topcka—U (P.)—With 70,000 returns still unaccounted, Kansas today had received $8,411,293 in 1948 state income tax.
Robert Lindsay, chief of the income tax division, said total collections would "undoubtedly" be four to five million dollars above last year's receipts.
The return for April 26 was $1,754,649 more than the amount received on April 26, 1948, Lindsay said.
The income tax chief said it would be June 1 before a comprehensive report on returns could be made.

The frigate bird has the habits of a pirate. This odd looking sea bird steals much of its food from other birds, forcing the victim to give up the prize by a literal "shakedown" twist from its powerful break.
"This should teach you never again to forget to bring home LAWRENCE SANITARY VARSITY VELVET ICE CREAM when I tell you."
A scroll of honor will be presented to Col. John Alfrey, R.O.T.C. commander, by Robert E. Bragg, engineering freshman and commander of the drill squad. The scroll was awarded the group for winning first place in a drill competition at Stillwater, Okla. April 22 through 24.
An exhibition performance by the University R.O.T.C. drill squad will be featured on the intermission program at the Military ball tonight.
The 14-man squad was flown to Stillwater in the plane assigned to Manton S. Eddy, commanding general of the Command and General Staff college at Fort Leavenworth. The group competed with teams from four other schools the area. These are Oklahoma university, Oklahoma A. and M., Wichita university, and Kansas State.

Four Accepted To Marine Class
Four students have been accepted for the marine corps platoon leaders class, Lt. Lewis E. Bolts, instructor in naval science, announced today.
The men will spend two six-week training periods at Quantico, Va., during which time they will receive room, board, equipment, and $80 a month. After completion of the training period and graduation from college, the men will receive commissions as second lieutenants in the marine reserves.
Those accepted are Charles A. Hankins and Fredrick K. Childers, engineering; Lee C. Shepeard, and James L. Owens, College. All are freshmen. There is room for one more man in the training course.
Trees Gain Reputation As Meteorologists
Two women have applied for Women Marine Officer training, Lieutenant Bolts said. They are Theodora L. Schreiber, College junior, and Daisy D. Pearson, College freshman.
Philadelphia—(U.R.)—Trees h a v e joined the ranks of weather forecasters along with woolly-bear caterpillars, groundhogs, rheumatism and corn, an industrial engineer reported here.
By using a device known as an electronic potentiometer to measure the electrical impulses given off by trees, scientists working concurrently at three universities have discovered that trees react to storms days in advance of meteorological disturbances, an engineer of the Brown Instrument company disclosed.
Complete facts are not yet known he said, but the electrical impulses are believed to be caused by the reaction of cosmic rays on the growth cells of the trees.
