Congressman Sixth District

BUDGET-In Analysing the Presi-
dents budget message we find that
the total of military and foreign aid
spending will amount to 1870 of the
1853 fiscal expenditures. Military,
foreign and other security eXpendi-
lures have risen 26Gct between fiscal
1850 and 1858. This is the price of
losing the peace after we had won the
war. This budget of S512 billion dol
lars which the President is asking
Congress to approve is nearly 6 billion
dollars more than the total outlay of
ten years ago in 1913 when the United
States was in the midst of world
war and it approaches the peak war
expenditures of 95 billion in 1914 and
1945.
We are allotting, according to the
budget this year in military and eco
monte aid to foreign countries 1912
billion dollars. However, although our
highways are inadequate, the budget
calls for only 400 million dollars in
Federal aid to highways; only 30
million for access roads; 81 million
for forest roads and l million for
inter-American roads. In spite of dis
astrous floods in this country, the
budget calls for only COS million dol
lars for flood control.
TAXES-Nowhere in his 81-page
budget message did the President
mention the possibility of cutting
taxes In fact, he renewed his request
for another tax increase of billion
dollars. The average individual paid
about 17ft more in income tax in 1851
than he did in 1850 and in 1852 the
head of every American family will
have an extra debt or tax burden of
1925 if the new budget is not trim
med. Direct taxes on individuals this
year comprise $3.50 of the revenue
while excise taxes make up l7cs. This
makes $50 of the Federal income
coming directly out of the pocket
book of every taxpayer. However, all
taxes are paid by the people since they
are contained in the price of every
thing that is bought.
FOREIGN TAXES-Thc House
Armed Services Committee reported
that France is taxing American mill
tary construction aimed at preserving
French freedom. About one in five
dollars is going into the French
treasury in the form of taxes, which
is more than Frances total outlay to-
ward support of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. The State and
Defense Departments have been re-
quested to look into this matter and
put a stop to it.

No one can say who was the
first person to think of making a
trip to the moon. but a man named
Lucian was pioneer in writing
about the idea. Lucian was a Greek
who lived on the island of Samos
at the eastern end of the Mediter-
ranean Sea, 18 centuries ago.
In q book of fancy. Lucian told
Of a man who rose to the moon
after his boat was blown upward
by a waterspout! Later the hero in
another story by Lucian made
pair of wings and flew to the moon!
If that Greek had known more
about the moon, he would have
written Lessor at least would have
given his hero q better way to get
there. The moon may seem close
to the earth, but it really has an
average distance Of almost a quar-
ter of a million miles. A waterspout
never could send a man a millionth
part of the way to the moon.
Neither could man fly to the
moon with a pair of wings. Even

The start of the atomic age seems
to open a new path for rocket
travel. There is little doubt that
the best fuel for long-distance travel
by rockets will be provided by
atomic energy.
After scientists, inventors and
engineers work long enough, we may
expect to have lightweight "en-
gines" which will be able to move a
rocket to the moon with the help
of atomic fuel.

Of writer's have talked about trips

century. He told about gun which

moon and returned to earth.
If cannon could speed shell
to the moon, any human being in

of the trip. The blast and shock

In today's hand Mr.. Masters
should have passed his partners
one-diamond bid if there had been
no part-score. With only one queen
and one jack and a worthless
doubleton in diamonds, he doesn't
have enough to make a sound
response of any kind.
With the partial. however, he
should give his side the opportunity
of reaching game. He is assured of
one important thing-that his part
ner will not get the bidding beyond
the two-level unless he has really
big hand, because two in any suit
will make game.
One word of caution about all
this. Always consider the humanics
of the situation. Don't stretch too
far for a bid when Mr.. Muzzy is
your partner.
He may have forgotten about the
partial and he may leap blithely to
four-odd when you give him a
shaded raise. But when you have a
good partner who knows what he's
doing, stretch to the limit to fill
out your game.

JUNEAU-Extension for 90- day period of the present exemp- ton from price control of saWmill logs produced and sold in Alaska was announced this week by the Office of Price StabiliZation.
 The current exemption, con tained in Supplementary Regula- ton 55 to the General Ceiling from August 30 to December 3l, 1851. ..=
 The OPS pointed out that at the time of the issuance of the supplementary regulation it was contemplated that tailored re- gulation covering Alaskan saw mill logs would be issued prior to the start of the 1852 logging season. This was deemed inadvi- sable, however, until further studies of trade conditions could be made.
 If, the OPS said, sawmill logs presently were allowed to revert to control under the GCPR, a chaotic condition would be crea- ted in the industry as new con- tracts have been entered into by the sawmills and loggers and are based on the prices in effect un- der the August 30-December ex- emption and, therefore, are some what above the GCPR level.
