Commission that all such
zoning would be at least
postponed until a master
zoning plan for the entire I
city had been worked out.
The Zoning Board had also
made this plea to the Mayor

avail.

concerned
The honeymoon may be
over. Those 30,000 and 40,000
crowds have been notably
absent during 1968 even
though the team has shown
tighter pitching than either
of the previous seasons and
actually been "in” more
games this go ’round.
The pitching has picked up
noticeably but, as the Braves’
hick would have it, the hit
ting has fallen off just as
noticeably. Deron Johnson
was a complete flop at the
plate, enough so to be re
placed by Tito Francona.

been one of the young sea
son’s surprises. Clete Boyer
hasn’t hit. While he ham
mered two homers last Sat
urday night, Aaron has not
been the weapon he was in
1967. Joe Torre has been of
little use to the club this
time mainly due to injuries.
Still, because of its im

Herman Talmadge
REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE
THE CONGRESS must not allow itself to be caught in the
emotional heat wave sweeping the country, or stampeded into a
new massive spending spree.
With all the pressure being brought to bear —a good part of
which emanates from mobs in the streets of Washington and
other large cities—the Congress ought to be wary against hastily
railroading through legislation that either needs more time and
study, that the country cannot afford at this time, or which in
fact is not desirable at all.
We have been swamped by fast and furious proposals for more
money to expand many existing programs and to create a vast
array of new ones, principally in the area of providing handouts.
Some members of Congress are giving a willing ear. this being an
election year, although just a few weeks ago almost everyone was
talking fiscal restraint and beginning to act like they knew what
that term means.
* * ♦
THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC problems of our cities are
critical, and they deserve our attention. I have supported legisla
tive programs for the alleviation of these problems and. to the
extent possible within present budgetary limitations imposed by
the costly war in Viet Nam, I will continue to do so, particularly
in the area of education and job training.
In my judgment, we cannot overestimate the importance of
education and job training for. in the final analysis, these go to
the real heart of the problem And it is just as vital in our rural
areas as in the cities.
* * *
HOWEVER. I KNOW of nothing that has happened recently
to change or improve this nation's economic situation, as tragic
as the events have been. We are still waging a $2Vi-billion-a
month war in Viet Nam, and we are still confronted with the
possibility of a S2O billion deficit this fiscal year.
In this connection, the widespread public opposition to the
proposed federal tax increase goes tar beyond the usual American
resentment against having to pay more taxes
People are not only opposed to more taxes, they are tired of
the fiscal policies that got our economy in this shape in the first
place, and of continually spending ourselves deeper in the red
without any apparent regard for revenue.
I certainly do not believe the American people are in any
mood for more taxes or any more spending programs now

grown shrubs, you should
keep in mind that they will
need water at regular inter
vals when planting is de
layed, according to Gerald

Since it’s never in, it’s never out.
Each year the new cars come
rolling out with the latest frills.
Wow.
And each year the old Volks
wagen rolls out looking just the
same.
Ho hum.
But when the year goes by, new
fads soon outdate the old fads.
And the hottest-looking car last
year is just that: the hottest-looking
car last year.
But a VW is still just a VW. Not
looking up-to-date, but not look-

me that makes it work easier; the

Or a smal 1 price for a VW.
