As shown in the figures obove, taken from a 1967 study by
the U.S. Department of Commerce, it still pays to go to
school for as long as possible, and it apparently pays to be
a man irt the working world. The dark bar represents aver
age income for a woman aged 35-44, while the lighter, and
consistently longer, bar represents the average income of
men in the same age group.

ONLY BORROWED
HAMILTON, Ohio (UPD—
Detective Sgt. William Cain got
quick action when he reported
his official car stolen, but there
was no arrest.
A radio patrolman spotted the
car minutes after it had been
reported missing, and forced it
to the curb before he recognized
the driver —Detective Lt. Ed
ward Rice, who had borrowed
the car without notifying Cain.
UPDATE SHAKESPEARE
STRATFORD-ON-AVON, En
gland (UPD—This was the most
unkindest cut of all. William
Shakespeare’s home town is
taking on some of the aspects of
hippiesville.
Over the protests of the
Stratford (landmark preserva
tion) Society and the chamber
of commerce, the town council
is allowing a psychedelic-orange
coffee house to operate across
the street from the Royal
Shakespeare Theater.
NEW GUARD
WARFIELD, England (UPD
—The vicar of Warfield can
sleep easy these nights, con
fident that there are no. bats in
his belfry.
The Rev. Fergus Trevor was
concerned when vandals stole
the stuffed owl he had been
using to frighten bats away
from the steeple of the parish
church. Tuesday he was happy
—the British Air Force Associa
tion had given him a new
stuffed owl.

Mullinax Would
Ban Some Lyrics
ATLANTA (UPD — LaGrange
State Rep. Ed Mullinax, manag
er and part owner of radio sta
tion WLAG, has introduced a
bill aimed at screening objec
tionable lyrics on records.
The bill would require that
record companies or salesmen
print the lyrics of each song on
the jacket containing the rec
ord, which would also be im
printed with tbg name and ad
dress of the copyright own
er and licensing group.
Mullinax said his LaGrange
station rejects about a fourth of
the records it receives because
of objectionable language and
added it would save time to be
able to read the lyrics rather
than having to listen to the rec
ord. He said it would also pro
vide a guideline for parents.
The law would apply to mag
netic tapes as well as records
and would be punishable by a
felony conviction and fine of
SI,OOO to $5,000.
GOP Leaders Say
Tax Increase Is
Up To President
WASHINGTON (UPD —
House Republican leaders said
today "the life or death of the
President’s tax bill is up to the
President.” They scoffed at a
proposed compromise to break
a deadlock between the White
House and Congress over taxes
and spending.
"There is no evidence at the
moment that the President’s
tax bill will be approved,”
House GOP Leader Gerald R.
Ford, Mich., said.
Ford accused the President of
“drawing a red herring” across
the spending dispute by talking
about cutting back highway
building and construction of
military facilities not related to
the Vietnam war.
At the same time, Ford said,
Johnson is "insisting that Great
Society programs go full speed
head, helter-skelter.”
Rep. John Rhodes, R-Ariz.,
chairman of the House GOP
Policy Committee, said the next
move is up to Johnson. "The

life or death of the President’s
tax bill is up to the President,”
Rhodes said in a joint ‘ news
conference with Ford.
Republicans and many Demo
crats are insisting that the
President come up with specific
spending reductions before they
will vote on his bill for a 10 per
cent income tax surcharge.
The deadlock has stalled the
tax bill. The House Ways &
Means Committee last week
pigeonholed the measure until
the tax-spending dispute is
resolved.
Ford and Rhodes brushed
aside as meaningless a propo
sal, put forth Tuesday by Sen.
George Smathers, D-Fla., de
signed to break the impasse.
Smathers, a fiscal supporter
of the administration who ranks
No. 2 on the Senate Finance
Committee, suggested that Con
gress approve the tax increase
and at the same time order the
treasury to set aside 3 per cent
of every appropriation bill that
passes this year.
Ford dismissed the proposal
as "a gimmick that doesn’t
have any substance.” Rhodes
called it "an impractical
approach.”
Smithers explained his plan in
a Senate speech Tuesday.

awards.
