; IN ITS RECENT REPORT on the nation’s economy, it was
| significant that the Joint Economic Committee of Congress—of
| which lam a member—stated that “the first imperative” for
| 1967 was reduction of all nonessential federal spending.
‘ Using some very strong language, the Committee said:
| “Federal expenditures that the not absolutely essential to national
% defense or our economic growth or welfare must be sharply
{ reduced.”
| This position indicates that the Committee is taking note of
| the greatly increased cost of the war in Viet Nam and the
| worsening fiscal situation in the country today. The Committee
| departed somewhat from its stand last year that we could afford
i to continue and even expand a vast array of domestic spending
| programs and fight the war in Viet Nam at the same time
| without inviting inflation, larger deficits, or further damage to
| the economy.
2 Os course, as events proved, the reverse was true. I filed a
| minority report with the Committee last year in which I warned
‘ that we could not have “guns and butter” without bringing about
| inflation or the need for more taxes, or perhaps a combination of
| both. And there has been inflation and the administration has
| proposed an increase in taxes.
| So it was gratifying that the Committee this year took a
| different view on the need for a reduction in federal spending.
i * * *
HOWEVER, AGAIN THIS YEAR 1 filed supplementary
1 views to the Committee’s report because I think it could have
' gone further in its recommendations, especially in view of our
' critical gold drain and balance of payments deficits.
. It is my feeling that it is becoming increasingly imperative
that we cut down the flow of American dollars abroad which
| come back to us in demands upon our gold.
The U.S. is badly out of balance on its international pay
| ments and because of our dollar deficit, the drain upon our
| gold has reached critical proportions. Our gold reserves are
| now down to about sl3 billion with less than $4 billion of that
' in so-called “frec gold” with which to meet foreign claims of
| more than S3O billion.
$ And the reason we are out of balance is because of the
' magnitude of our foreign aid and military expenditures abroad.
f As I told the committee, we must stop excessive foreign spending
| that results from trying to look after most of the world.

!A Letter Said To |
Have Been Written
By Jesus Christ |
The following letter has been
published from time to time in
nearly all the newspapers of the
country, and was published in the|
Wheeler County Eagle years ago,§
but at the request of one of our
'sulbsxcribebs, we publish it again.|
“Copy of a letter written by our
Savior Jesus Christ, found 18
ymiles from Inconium, forty-five
years after our blessed Savior's
Crucifixion; transmitted from the
Holy [City by a converted Jew, |
faithfully translated from its ori-|
ginal Hebrew copy, now in the|
possession of the Lady Cuba’s
{fn{ivly in Mesopotamia. The letter
wig: written by Jesus Christ, and
foulnd under a great stone, both
round and large, at the foot of.
the Cross, 18 miles from Inconium,
| near a village called Mesopotamia, |
{and upon the stone was written
{or engraved: ‘Blessed is he that
| turneth me over, People that saw
i,jt prayed to God earnestly, and
»}desi-red' He would make known
(the meaning of the writing, that
:"they might not attempt in vain
{to turn it over; in the meantime,
|a little child turned it over with
| out any help, O, the shame of all
{that stood by!
!The Letter
| “Whosoever worketh on the Sab
| bath day shall be cursed. I com
mand you to go to church and
keep the Lord’s Day holy without
doing any manner of work. |
“You shall not idly spend your
time in bedecking yourself with |
any supenfluities of costly apparel
and vain dresses, for I have or
i dained a day of rest. I shall have
'this day kept holy, that your sins
!may be forgiven you. I shall not
}break my Commandments, but
{obsenve and keep them, written:
’by my own hand and spoken
| with my own mouth.
{ “You shall not only go to church
i yourself, but also your Men serv
s:m;ts, and Maid servants, and ob
|se:*\'e my words and learn my
{ commandments. You shall finish
| vour labor every Saturday in the
;aftcrnoon» by six o’clock, at which
lhour the preparations of the Sab
bath begin. I advise you to fast
!-five days in every year, begin
!ning with Good Friday and con
‘tinfue the four Fridays immediate
ily following.
“You shall diligently and peace
ably labor in your respective call
| ings, where it hath pleased God
{to call you. You shall love one!
| another with brotherly love, and
g(-avuse them that are baptised to
icome to church and receive the
i Sacraments, Baptism, and the
{Lord’s Supper, and so doing 1
| will give you a long life, and
lmr:my blessings; your lands shall
| flourish end your cattle shall
Ebring forth in great abundance;
jand I will give many blessings
{ and comfort in ithe greatest tem
| tation; and he that doth to the
| contrary, shall be unprofitable. I
| will also settle a hardness of
lheart upon them till I see them,
{but especially upon impenitent
i unbelievers. He that giveth to the
i poor shall not be unporfitable.
| “Remember to keep holy the
| Sabbath day, for the seventh day
{I have taken to rest myself and
jhe that hath a copy of the letter
| written with my own hand and
}spoken with my own mouth and
| keep it wihout publishing it to
tothers shall not prosper; but he
|that publishes it to others shall |
'be blessed of me; and though his
;sins be in number as the stars in
lin the sky, and he that believes
lin this will be pardoned, and if

eiplagues upon him, and consume
{both him and his children, and his
[ cattle.
i “And whosoever shall have a

' them;; neither pestilence, nor thun
{der shall do them any hurt. And

La Primavera
An electric heat pump
knows no other season.
E There are many ways to say spring. The Spanish
say la primavera. Suggesting first blossoms.
First awakening.
‘Whichever word you choose, it means beauti
ful season. And beautiful reason to own an
electric heat pump—the versatile unit that
translates any season into spring.
Set the thermostat when the system is in
stalled. After that, your heat pump maintains
the selected temperature by heating in winter,
cooling in summer,
It does more. Dehumidifies. Ventilates. Filters.
Distributes clean, Sierra-fresh air throughout
your home.
