REPORTS PROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE
PRESIDENT NIXON IS INSISTING on the extension of the
10 per cent income tax surcharge before consideration of mean
ingful tax reforms. As a member of the Senate Finance Com
mittee. which has held hearings on the proposed extension, 1
have not been totally impressed with the Administration’s posi
tion that such action is necessary to stem inflation.
Certainly something is needed. In the past five years, the tax
payers' struggle just to break even has gotten completely out of
hand. An American who earned SB,OOO in 1964 will need to earn
more than $9,747 in 1969 merely to maintain the same standard
of living. Inflation, the "silent tax,” is especially cruel to retired
persons and those with fixed incomes.
BUT IHE SURTAX ALONE cannot do the job. It has been
over-sold. It has been in operation for longer than a year now.
and the inflationary spiral has steadily steepened, bringing a 1.5
per cent increase in the first quarter of 1969 alone.
A chief cause of this is that Government outlays are still far
in excess of what we can afford and of what even a full-employ
ment economy can provide.
Unfortunately, the 1970 budget continues this trend by calling
for outlays of $195.3 billion, compared to $ 183.7 billion for fiscal
1969. A first step toward controlling inflation must be cuts in as
many areas of government spending as possible.
MOREOVER WHAT WE REALLY need are not increased
taxes but an improved tax system. As long as our tax structure
contains as many loopholes as it presently does, there is no way
the tax burden can be borne equitably by all citizens.
We must close these loopholes which allow large businesses,
foundations and nonprofit groups to enjoy tax advantages un
available to the average citizen.
Another way in which the tax load can be spread more evenly
is by raising the unrealistic S6OO personal exemption. This 20-
year old exemption has not kept up with the 48.5 per cent rise in
the cost of living.
Extension of the surtax already has been shown not to be an
inflation cure-all. Il will of course help some. But it is not enough.
C ongress must exert every possible fiscal restraint and federal
domestic spending must be cut so long as the Viet Nam war
continues to drain our economy dry. At the same time, the
American people are more insistent than ever that effective tax
reforms must accompany any extension of the surtax.

Georgia Game and Fish Commission
WHERE’S YOUR DANGER
ZONE?
ATLANTA (PRN) - These
hot days might not be the best
time in the world to expect to
catch a big string of fish
everytime you go out, but just
look at any Georgia lake, and
you’ll find hundreds of folks
out there enjoying the water
in one way or another.
Lots of anglers don’t quit
just because the thermometer
is well above 90 above the
water, and maybe into the
80’s in the water.
Nonetheless, the water does
provide lots of opportunity
for recreation, and a little
cooling off. This is the season
that pleasure boaters, water
skiers and swimmers do their
thing.
With so many folks on the
water, there’s a greatly
increased chance for accidents.
True, statistics show that
boating accidents are very low,
percentage-wise, compared to
highway accidents.
Boating accidents are on
the increase everywhere,
however, and the sad thing is
that if all persons who operate
a boat would only become
familiar with the principles of
safe boating, there just
wouldn’t be any accidents at
all.
You say you’re a safe
boater? You’re not an
accident just looking for a
place to happen? That if
you’re involved in an accident,
it just has to be the other
fellow’s fault?
Weil, let’s see just how
much you do know, then.
For starters, answer me
quick . what is your danger
zone? What is a danger zone,
and what are your
responsibilities if someone is
in your danger zone?
Easy? Well, it must not be.
Very often when I’m on the
water I see a boater who
apparently doesn’t know or
doesn’t care what the answer
poopie. 1 teel very much en
couraged”.
Garland Byrd —a dark horse
entry who only a few days ago
let it be known that he had been
approacned by some to run for
the job. Os all potential candid
ates, Mr. Byrd probably has
more contacts over the state
than any other, since he has
served one term as Lt.-Governor
and also made the race for gov
ernor in 1966.
Mike Padgett — State Senator
from Augusta who was elected
to that job as an Independent,
but says he will run for Comp
troller on the Democratic ticket.
Es.ers M. Shiver — Atlanta
insurance executive who held a
top position in the State Insur
ance Dept, under Zack Cravey.
Joe Sports — last but not least,
Mr. Sports is Executive Secre
tary of the Democratic Party of
Georgia, and last week was the
recipient of a $25,000 check
from Hapeville banker A. P.
Jackson as the first nest egg of
the campaign. Capitol politicos
immediately vaulted Mr. Sports
high up in the running, for they
consider it unprecedented for a
candidate for a relatively minor
office to receive so much of a
campaign contribution one year
before the race begins. Mr.
Jackson, incidentally, doesn’t
seem to be stopping with just
money support. We are told that
he will have a "come-and-meet-
Joe-Sporls" party on Aug. 23 at
his farm in Carroll County, to
which Democrats who have
taken great interest in Party af
fairs will be invited.
If there are any we have over
looked, we apologize and will
write about them next week.

Walter Stovall, the Douglas,
Ga., young man who married
Negress Charlene Hunter sev-
is to this question.
When you’re operating a
boat, you are responsible for
any other vessel that happens
to be in an area from straight
ahead of you to slightly
behind your right shoulder. If
you see a boat in this area you
must yield the right-of-way to
him, changing your speed and
your direction of travel, if
necessary, to be certain that
he gets by you safely and
without difficulty from your
presence.
A smart sailor knows,
however, that not everyone
else is aware that he has a
danger zone. If you have the
right-of-way and the other
boat isn’t yielding when he
should, then let common sense
take over .. ,let the old
so-and-so have room to get
away from you.
Don’t think that the only
responsibility you have is the
danger zone, however. One of
the major infractions I notice
on Georgia waters is that
boaters have no regard for
their wake, or how close they
operate to areas where they
shouldn’t. A friend of mine in
the insurance business ruefully
told me the other day how he
lost a case because a man he
insured had caused damage
with the wake from his boat.
This might be another boat,
moving or at anchor, or a boat
house, or a swimmer or any
other property or person.
Many boaters disregard
“no-wake” signs near ramps
and docks, even run
dangerously close to
swimming areas. And some
swimmers disregard signs
informing them they must not
swim near ramps and docks.
All these are potential
accidents, looking for a place
to happen. Take stock of
’ ourself. Are you really a safe
aoater? Do you really respect
*the rights of others on the
water? Be sure . . .your life, or
the life of someone else, may
depend on it.

if he runs for anytnmg it will
be for Lieut.-Governor.
We hear that Repr. Charlie

ious about running for Lieut.-

Game and Fish Commissioner
George Bagby is trying to per
suade the federal government to
divide Georgia in two sections
insofar as the dove season is
concerned, with different dates,
so that neither the northern or
southern part of the state will
suffer from lack of birds. How
ever, he doesn’t expect that this
will be done this year. Also, he
hopes to persuade the powers in
Washington to raise the limit
from 12 to 18 birds, and will
likely be successful.
Incidentally, this year's dove
shooting season will be Sept. 6 —
Oct. 4 and Dec. 6 — Jan. 15.

teen panels vote for classy
‘do-your-own-thing’ versions
of classic favorite separates 21
Popular back-to-school fash
ions for Fall 1969 will be new
“do-your-own-thing” interpre
tations of those classic old fav
orites — the separates — ac
cording to 280 teenagers who
ought to know. Representing
their fellow students in 56 high
schools and junior high schools
throughout the country, the 280
boys and girls are members of
student advisory panels estab
lisheO by Avon Products to
give young people an opportun
ity to express their opinions
on fashion, grooming, eti
quette, and other subjects of
interest to them.
Sweaters and skirts, skirts
and shirts, jumpers and blouses
— the perennial components
of a separates wardrobe — are
still the backbone of a student’s
fall fashion collection, these
teens say. But this year they
vote for using surprisingly new
and interesting combinations
of fabrics for their mixing and
matching — and for more var
iety in their mix-match com
ponents.
The name of the separates
fashion game, this year, is
“fun”, and teens highly ap
prove. They like the newness
of combining herringbone or
tweed skirts with printed pais
ley or striped tops as a change
from the old, solid-color-with
plaid combinations. Other fav
orites are dainty floral print
blouses combined with wide
wale corduroy skirts — or with
the soft-hand plushy velours
and velvets. Suedes are big
vote - getters in combination
with a whole gamut of pattern
ed fabrics — plaids, tweeds,
jacquards and argyles.
The decision as to “what
goes well with what” in com
. bining fabrics should be based
on the relative proportion and
scale of the mixed patterns,
students feel. By exercising
good taste and using their im
agination, they say, they can
create more personalized, in
dividualistic school outfits —
and have fun doing it.
In line and design, vests,
tunics and jumpers rate a fash
ion “A” with the girls. Often,
knitted, the 1969 vests are
longer than last year’s. Some
have V-necklines and are sash
ed or ribbed at the waistline.
They pair well with safari
shirts and flirty skirts. Jump
ers are worn with or without
blouses. Boys, too, approve of
having more excitement in
their separates. V-neck and
mock turtle sweaters are tradi
tionally preferred. Some stu
dents like long flat-knit sweat
ers, others like the interest of
cable stitch trim. V - neck
sleeveless pullovers are uni
versally’ liked in both solids and
argyles — with brown, green
or blue the predominating col
ors. In slacks, the straight leg
or modified bell-bottom silhou-'
ettes are more popular —
either in solid colors, or muted
patterned fabrics such as her
ringbone tweeds or shadow
plaids.
The student advisory panels,
which were first set up by
Avon three years ago, agree
that good grooming contrib
utes to the over-all fashion ef
fect, and is important to both
academic and social success.

books under the arm, and pipe
in his mouth. No longer is tke
mental picture valid with the
exception of the pipe. The pipe
has grown in favor among the

ABOUT THE A.B.M. —
"ONE CANNOT ESCAPE FACTS"
“Our superiority in the lat
est types of military technol
ogy is a fact, comrades, and
one cannot escape facts.”
This statement was made
July 2. 1968. by Leonid I.
Brezhnev, First Secertary, Com
munist Party of the Soviet
Union, to USSR Party and
Government Leaders and mili
tary graduates.
The USSR has this supe
riority in Anti-Ballistic Mis
sile defenses noir. Its political
and military planners have
been working to build this edge
since 1958—7/ years ago.
In April. 1969. a new book.
Fifty Years of the Armed
Forces of the USSR” revealed
how the Soviet's leadership put
an ABM first in USSR de
fense planning. The book, writ !
ten by Marshall M V. Zak
harov. Chief of the Generali
Staff of the Soviet Armed I
Forces, said this:
“The creation of ballistic!
missiles and space vehicles re
quired a modern air defense!
system to res|H>nd not onlv'
against the aircraft threat, but!
also— and first of all— to pro
vide anti-missile and anti-space ,
defense."
The Soviet moved in 1958.1
without faltering and without
debate because none is permit-!
ted in the USSR about na-p
tional security, to concentrate! 1
all of its energy and growing ’
scientific skills to develop a!
then new defense. It was called! 1
P-R-0 literally that means! 5
anti-rocket defense - or ABM I '
in U.S. missile language.
These P R O missiles were ! 1
first deployed in Russia in
1963—six yearsago.’ Marshall,'
Zakharov's book confirms that .
the Soviet’s 10-year head start j .
on its own ABM system has ■ .
moved steadily forward The i
Soviet Chief of Staff says: ;
“The range of operations.!
speed of launching ami all t
other operational characteris-1
tics of PRO missiles are con-jj
stantly being improved." I ।
President Nixon is facing i
these knoirn facts — and many t
USSR facts that are not | t
known, in urging Congress tol|
approve a start on a minimum i ।
than the growth of campus
population.
The steadily increasing
toward pipe smoking is really
a natural outgrowth of cam
pus life and activity. Always
contemplative and relaxing a
pipe is an ideal companion and
gift for the returning college
student or the incoming fresh
man.
A pipe will become a treas
ured possession of the student?
if he is willing to persevere and
learn the “manly art of pipe
smoking”. One of the major
points the new pipe smoker
must master for a period of six
to seven days is a stick-to-itive-
ABM defense system for the
United States.
The President, who has the
prime responsibility fop pro
tecting the defenses, lives and
homes of the American jieople
against nuclear missile attacks,
has said that the safety of our
country now requires that we
should go ahead with develop
ment of the initial stages of
the Safeguard ABM system.
Why is it essential to our se
curity to start deploying an
ABM system to protect our
nuclear deterrent forces?
The New York Times gave
one convincing answer to this
question in an analysis of So
viet missile power, published
April 14. 1969
| The Times said:
"Qualified sources say that
, new evidence gathered by high
I flying satellites shows that the
I Soviet Union has about 1.200
| intercontinental ballistics mis
I sites in place or rapidly going
into place, roughly 150 more
i land-based ICBM's than the
United States."
To put it simply the Soviet
Union now has greater ICBM
forces than the U.S. And it
already lias an ABM force in
being The U.S. does not.
President John F. Kennedy
was able to counter the Soviet
missile threat in Cuba without
u ar only because this country's
defense enabled him to act
courageously from strength.
President Kennedy was able
to act courageously from
strength President Kennedy
was able to act from strength
liecause he rightly insisted
that it was essential to ILS
survival to equip ourselves
with the means to "survive a
surprise attack and devastate
the attacker." He knew — and
President Nixon knows — that
"we cannot escape the facts ”
Some 40 organizations are
hammering Congress and the
American people with propa
ganda against ABM
Don't let the facts on tin
need for ABM be buried in
these waves of propaganda. Let
your Congressmen and Sena
tors know that we "cannot es
cape the facts ' if we wish to
preserve our security and
peace
ness approach. According to
the Pipe and Tobacco Council
of America, once a pipe smoker
is willing to undertake the in
itial period of breaking in his
pipe and his habits, he will
thoroughly enjoy his pipe at
school and in his future life.
It will afford him many hours
of relaxed study time, and al
though writers and philoso
phers in the past maintained
it will open his mind and brain,
the Council doesn't guarantee
better grades, just a better
student.
It isn’t necessary to blow out
the other fellow’s light to let
.your own shine.
