TRAIN OF TOMORROW REALITY

During the war years our spir-
its were encouraged by many en-
trancing promises Of. comforts
and conveniences, which were to
emanate from the know-how &C.
quired under the duress of the
great conflict. Some of them,
such as faster, bigger airplanes
and better radios and television,
have become realities, but we
are still waiting for many of the
marvels that were to come out Of
the laboratory and the workshop.
One very definite advance in
transportation, however, is now

It is difficult to get out from under
tax burdens once they're yoked
upon us. But we must adopt a def
mite policy of reducing government
expenditures. We must set free our
industry, and investment capital as
well, from the over-burden of taxes.
We must have genuine prosperity.
And when we keep asking the gov
eminent to spend, let us remem-

The Eighth Person

Did you know that you're working
10 days out Of every month for the
government? Well, you are. That
is the extent to which we have al
lowed activities of tho government
to grow. Perhaps, as a nation. we
can see that the business Of govern
ment has expanded. But when we
get to looking at the books. the
chances are we find a good deal
more mushrooming than we imag-
med.
Look at this another way. II
you may be considered an average
person, you pay taxes at the same
rate as il your employer paid you
no wages ten days out of each
month. but instead paid the check
over to the government. This comes
from the fact that right now fed
eral, state, and local taxes consume
about one-third of all the dollars
earned in the United States. That's
burden on our necks that merits
attention.
You Are Sharing
Now don't think you can get out
Of this by pleading innocent. You're
just a wage Garner, you say? Not
high-bracket man who turns over
three-fourths Of his net income to
the government? Sure, you know
the take is high, but you say he's
the man who does the squawking?
Listen. While you may not be pay
ing directly your ten days wages
to the government. you're paying
just the same. The bill is made
out every fiscal year, and you are
helping to pay it.
Where does all this money 20, you
ask? OF course, we have a lot of
expenditures in government, be-
sides paying salaries and other
kinds Of allowances to individuals.
Yet, one out of every eight work.
ers in America in 1899 drew his
salary from the government. Leav-
ing the city and the state govern
ments out of the picture, 1t is esti-
mated that one out Of every eight
persons in the country is on the fed
eral payroll right now, in one form
or another.
Stand eight average people togeth-
er-one Of them gets a check regu-
larry from Uncle Sam! Amazing,
isn't it? And remember, you are
footing the bill. This includes civil
ian employees, those receiving old
age assistance, veterans, dependents
Of veterans, those in the army, navy
and coast guard. This is a total
Of more than 16 million people re-
ceiving monthly checks from the
United States government.
Need For Policy
This means that every seven per-
sons must supply a check for the
eighth each month. 1t is indeed
difficult task to decide where we'd
like to start cutting. But we must,
or our nation is in definite danger.
If we do not, we shall be in the
position Of the Roman Empire,
which lasted only little more than
400 years. Rome had too many folks
on her payroll. She was soon dust.
Historians are saying America has
already begun to decline. I will not
agree with this viewpoint, provided
we come to our senses.
1t is not easy to say: "Whoa!""

He did so, and then Roden brought out by questioning that it is impossible to so analyze human blood as to ascertain the Duncan explained that blood can be sub classified in it's liquid state so as to narrow the possibilities down, but that it is impossible to identify a person from a blood sample.
 After a 10 minute recess, the next witness for the prosecution was called.
 Final Witness
 Final witness for the prosecution was Clemens R. Maise, special agent for the FBI, assigned as ex- aminer of hair and fibers at the FBI Laboratory at Washington D. c. Maise stated he also had made examinations of clothing ex- hibits in this case and described the technique of examination by comparison miscroscope under POO magnification.
 MaiSe's findings were:
 On the trousers of defendant Nelson-one human head hair of similar characteristics to the hair of the victim; also several dark blue woolen textile fibers similar to the blue wool of which the vic- tim's trousers are constructed.
 On the defendants checkered sports coat-one human head hair from member of the white race which had characteristics similar to the victims hair; also dark tlue woolen fibers similar to the victims trousers.
 On the victims trousers-a number of dark woolen fiters sim liar to those contained in the de- fendant's sports jacket.
 On the victims shirt-brown woolen fibers similar to those used in construction of the the defen- dant's sports jacket.
 In all instances, the loose fibers were found dissimilar to any used in construction of the garment on which they were found Maise testified.
 Defense Counsel-in- Chief Roden waived cross-eXamination of FBI Agent Maise, and, immediately af- ter the Government had rested, he asked that the court recess until this morning. Roden indicated that he expected the case would go to the jury today, whereupon Judge Pratt excused the jury until 10 o'clock this morning.

 No Safe Cracking Job
 He denied emphatically having any conversation with Demry about doing safe cracking job to- gether Nelson said that he never discussed the possibility of com hitting any crime in cooperation with Denny He claimed that he did not know Denny very well. but had taken pity on him once and let Demry stay in his room for two days.
 Bloody Sweatband
 Nelson said that he could offer no explanation for the blood on the sweatband of his hat.
 At ll:25 this morning, Roden finished his direct examination ot the defendant and turned him over the the prosecutor for cross examination.
 District Attorney Gilmore spent most of the time checking some of Nelsons previous answers and occasionally brought up testimony given by other witnesses. When Gilmore asked him about Hunters statement that Nelson had stop- ped in front of Ellen's store, Nel- son grew excited and began to shout T don't care what Rodney Hunter said didn't stop in front of the store I just step ped aside to let nim pass by"
 Gilmore, Roden and Nelson were momentarily involved ill a brief argument over Nelson's explana- tions and Judge Harry E. Pratt overruled Rodens objection to Gil mcre's line of questioning
 Gilmore accused Nelson of "cas- ing" the Ellen store for what you did later on" Nelson denied the accusation and said he didn't un- edrstand what was meant by the accusation.
 The question of time and where atouts of the laundering of Nell sons jacket and trousers was brought up again by Gilmore. He said that U s. Deputy Marshal Hellan testified yesterday that Nelson had first told him that he had washed them at 5;30 Sat urday afternoon but had later changer his story to later that night. At this, Nelson became excited and shouted, T don't care what he said If that's what ke said, then he CHellan) is lying"
 Cross-examination of Nelson by Prosecuting Attorney Gilmore end ed at 2:45 o'clock this afternoon.

Defense Attorney Roden made. no redirect examination of the de- fendant.
 Dr. c. c. Carter, called to the stand by the defense, testified that a sample of Nelson's blood tested in his laboratory proved to he International Type 0.
 This is the same type as that of the victims, as shown by lab oratory tests.
 several witnesses were yet to be called by the defense. and it was doubtful the case would go to the jury today.
