LION
 ATTACKS, KILLS
 WOMAN TRAINER

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Dec. 22-tR-With a roar, a savage lion sprang at widely known animal trainer and quickly killed her while her mortified children tried to save her yesterday.
 Mrs. May Kovar Schafer, AZ, was in the cage with the lion, Sultan, attempting to break him into train ing. The powerful animal lunged at her, bore her down and bit her in the neck, severing the spine.
 Her children, Michael Kovar, 18, and May Kovar, IA, were watching their mother, who was working with a chair and whip when the sudden attack occurred.
 The children, armed with short poles, rushed through the cage door. But the least, with Mrs. Schafer's reck in his jaws, ignored their pokings.
 Michael and May and three-year- cid Sandra Schafer, who was nearby, screamed for help.
 Rudy Muller, 59, an elephant trainer, ran to their aid.
 T grabbed up pitchfork and an eight-foot length of pipe" the frail man said. "The lion was very quiet. I stabbed at him with the pitchfork with one hand and then brought the pipe down on his head with the other.
 That made the lion drop her and back up.
 But I didn't have much time" :" Muller said. Just enough to pick Lp Mrs. Schafer Then the lion started for me and the children.
 T backed out, inch by inch, never taking my eyes off the lion. The children got out. Little May held the door open for me and I got cut. It was near thing for those youngsters He probably would have got them too"
 Mrs. Schafer was known profess sionally as Mada Kovar.

GENRGE E. SOKOLSKY
 THE PHILOSOPHY OF JIMMY
 One of the most amusing art icles, of a really humorous char. acter, appeared in 'The American Mercury" entitled "The Case for Deficit Spending" by James Roose- welt. Jimmy has discovered deficit financing. He says:
 ". The phrase has been used by many men before, passing with out notice. Now the revitalized Re- publican Party is using it to discre- dit the Truman Administration as wantonly spendthrift."
 It so happens that term has been widely discussed for two decades. teing associated with the political economics of John Maynard Keyn- es, who invented pump -priming' for his father. The Keynuesian ec- onomists have written learnedly on the subject and their opponents have also written learnedly, and most of it was published long be- fore Harry Truman was shocked by the astounding elevation to the Vice Presidency. How it happens that the redoubtable James never heard of it until he wrote this piece for Mercury" is difficult to ex- plain, except on the basis of q comment on Milton Berle's gags: "Tere are always people who are 13 years old.'
 So he explains why the Republic ans are imcompentent and to prove it he defines slogan:
 ". To be effective politically it must have emotional pull as well-it must stir people who are blind, or prejudiced, or just unin- formed" Pretty good, that, and authoritative. Although the gentle man has only just discovered de ficit spending" which Harry Hop- kins conducted with largesse from the White House, he does know what slogan should be. give him full points for that
 Now, we go into the philosophy of the thing and I must say that when I read it, was so startled that could hardly wait to read Jchn T. Hymns reply in the same issue of the same publication Flynn of course, utterly and completely demolishes the proclaimed can- didate for Governor of California. Lest you do not read the "Mer- cury," I shall quote more of James:
 ". Whenever a government has a surplus at the end of the year, it has taxed it's citizens too much. This should be elementary. Ifs 1t goes on doing this year after year, it is operating under an unbalanced fiscal policy, and it's legislature is using the taxing power for pur- poses never intended in the con- stitutional grant. The Constitut- ion specifically allows the govern ment to borrow money, pledging the national credit. Nowhere is there either specific or implied power for it to collect more taxes than it leg itimately spends"
 Of cousre, the simplest answer to that is: (A) to give the citi- zens hack some of their own money, or (Bl to reduce the taxes for the

City, County Costs
Reviewed in Reports

Summary reports on the fiscal
operations of Port Clinton and of
Ottawa county, prepared by the
Local Government Tax Service of
the Ohio Chamber of Commerce,
were presented to officers and di-
rectors of the local Chamber of
Commerce here last Thursday
night.
Presentation and analysis of the
reports was made by DIR. C. J.
Botte, research assistant of the
state organization and by Ira M.
Horst of the tax service division.
City and county costs over a
period of several years were COM
pared with those in cities and
counties of comparable size. The
comparisons indicated that Port
Clinton and Ottawa county were
in the main somewhere between
the high and low in operational
costs. Mr.. Horst emphasized that
this might be a good time for Ot-
tawa county to push the collec-
tion of delinquent taxes.
