Prophecy or Post Mortem?
Visiting the capitol in reporter
ial role during the last busy week
end preceding the Fourth, numer-
Gus problems arise. Should COM
ments on the legislative session be
in the past or present tense? Ger
tainly by the time an article pre-
pared for the next edition Of week
lies gets into print, lawmakers will
have wendell their weary ways
homeward with their problems
either settled or a truce called in
the legislative and political battles
them. That seems a fairly safe con-
clusion but one can't be sure. The
close of the sixth week finds the
five most important tax bills still
in conference committees, several
other tax measures pending action,
and the 17-million-dollar relief bill
a much disputed item. How the
changing picture will look within
a few days, it is hard to predict.
But one thing is certain: The play
ing Of partisan politics which re-
suited in needless disagreement
during the regular session has not
only caused this pecial session in
the first place, but it has also pro-
longed it far beyond reasonable
requirements.
Last week was marked uniform
ly by one continuing situation-im-
portant bills tied up in slow-mov-
ing conference groups, while polit-
ical pulling and hauling continued
outside those groups in an effort to
influence their decisions. House
members, bitterly opposing the
very idea Of an amnibus tax bill,
just as bitterly complained about
not having one this time. TOO
many separate conference commit
tees-not enough of composite
view Of the tax problem" was the
universal complaint. Meanwhile, a
severance tax bill, imposing added
levies on iron ore, condemned by
veteran liberals such as Represen-
tative Stockwell, of Minneapolis,
had been passed by the House, ad-
mittedly for use as political club
in seeking a boost Of royalty and
occupation levies on ore. Senators
were ready to strike back political
ly with the proposal that all iron
ore tax collected by range munic-
/ qualities be pooled in big state
fund, then rebated back to the
range on a far smaller scale. Polit-
ical dynamite in Farmer-Labor
range territory, Of course-that's
why the senator's proposed 1t. But
and in that but some House
members joined-a fairer distribu-
ton Of these Iron Range municipal
tax revenues would be more
equitable to the state as a whole,
rural men from southern Minneso-
Ia insisted.
The governors taking to the air
ways in a five-state radio exhor.
tation on the tax tangle failed to

political angles were intensified

ton. Settlement Of tax differences
during the regular term had been
achieved, announced by both the
House and Senate conferes, and
the realization grows now that
both the state and the politicians
would have been better off to &C.

The
COnnOn-tater

We went Fourth on the Fifth
I've always thought that being
small had it's disadvantages, now
I've been convinced. It's no place
to be small in a milling crowd.
Monday at the celebration I had to
be constantly on the lookout lest
someone step over me. Now there
goes kid right over my foot and
the same one that another guy
just helpe dhimself too. Gosh darn,
with the whole Park to walk in
they gotta blaze the trail over my
one good foot. Now there's some
thing that oughta stop. That kid
over there is shooting firecrackers
right behind me, I'm getting so I
shy at every kid like a frightened
mare . Well, it takes all kinds
of people to make a celebration in

can't seem to do anything but cape

throng. Now there's a lady with a
baby and she's carrying it like a
flask-you know on the hip
But the parade was the best part
with some dandy floats. But the
one from Johns Place sported a
sign misspelled-"Jhon's Place" .
Hah, I knew that crowd drawn
closely up on the water fighters
would be screaming and scattering
when the water was turned on. Oh,
oh, there goes a man down in the
mad scramble Say do you
know there were cars here from
the states OF Oklahoma, Wiscon-

A Columnist Tells Off
Comes time in every mans
life when the urge seizes him to
float back into his childhood days,
and that desire for childhood days
is never stronger than on the 4th
of July when Juniors fireworks
need shooting by expert hands. It's
a standing joke among women
how Dad wears Juniors electric
train to a FRAGILE before the kid
lays a hand on it, and so 1t goes
with firecrackers, too :. But don't
let 1t worry you, Junior, because
then you'll have all your fingers
.. While we're talking about II
I'd propose that the City Dads up
and regulate the time Of sale for
pyrotechnics. If these little harb-
myers Of the celebration Of Inde-
pendence are to have any signifi-
canoe at all-and I wonder II
many know that the 4th Is the
birthdate Of this nation-then why
not confine the shooting until the
right day I'm not so sure that
fireworks carry the proper signifi-
canoe anyway, for the practice
springs from the old phrase 'the
bombs bursting in air"-just plain
old-fashioned war. Thank you, we
don't care for any.

Best Seat for End of WOr|d;
 Another Planet
By CHARLES NORMAN AP Feature Service Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 30--This is the way the world ends
 You sit in the dark on another planet. You look at the sky and see Earth spinning in the air, another star. off in the distance you see a comet streaking across the sky. Its path is in space, millions and millions of miles of it. but it is nov ing at an incredible speed, and in l its path is the Earth.
 Right Before Your Eyes
 Closer and closer the comet comes, it's streaking tail growing wider and wider You. on another planet, watching the amazing spectacle, know what is going to happen. There will be a head-on collision between the comet and Earth. You know, also, that this will mark the end of Earth, that right after this cos mic collision there will be nothing left but star dust swishing in solar space
 Then, right before your eyes, from your vantage point the colli- sion takes place. Great bodies of light and fire streak through the sky The heaven of stars is still there, but there is void where the earth used to be. The "end of the world has come.
 Just One of Four Ways
 This dramatic spectacle, which brings a gasp from the audience, is being unfolded at the Hayden Plane ! tarium at the American Museum oi 1 Natural History here. It is one oi four hypotheses scientists have fig ured out for the end of the world i The others are: a hit-and-run star l sidesWiping the earth, the sun ex- ploding and burning the earth to a crisp, or cooling and thereby freez- ing life off the earth; and the de- struction of the moon by earth's gravity pull, and the eventual trans | forma ton of the moons fragments into a ring like the one around !

record is that this was his first year at Lafayette. Coaches gener- ally need a couple of seasons to get their style of play firmly estab- lished. And, furthermore, he took team that won only one game last season for Coach Ernie Meyers and turned out a winner.
 Lafayette, after years of adver- sity, regards him as a miracle man But a check over his records at Iowa, Lebanon valley and Bucknell shows he knew the winning signal there, too.
 Has One Helper While most coaches have several aides, Mylin had only one assist ant, George McGaughey, who pre- viously had coached only high school teams. Where did all these Lafayette players spring from in hurry? someone asked Graduate Manager Esky Clark when the supposedly weak Pennsylvania team was well or its victory path.
