NEW YORK 1.-THE flying sau-
Ger story, YOU know. is by no
means a new one.
About 80 years ago, a man
named Charles Fort rounded up
and published a whole series of
reports about mysterious objects
in the sky. He said his sources,
mainly. were newspapers. and he
cited the names and dates of the
papers, in case his readers were
interested in checking the refer
enceS.
Some accounts were well over
100 years ago, before the age Of
airplanes and before very much
was known about balloons.
The reports Of sightings. accord
ing to Fort, came from many diff
ferent parts Of the world--from
North Carolina, from a ship en-
route to Bermuda, and a whole
spate from the north coast Of Eng
land. In fact. that section Of the
British Isles was, in its day. the

THIS ROCK OF OURS
BILL GLIB

The ''Navy Wife" who wrote to
The Miami Herald's Voice of the
People last Sunday paid this col
umn a nice compliment and it was
appreciated. Several people have
reported reading the letter and for
a few of them it was confirmation
of their worst thoughts.
"Crusader!" they Kissed. The ex-
preston in their eyes placed me
about six feet lower in the ground
than a snakes belly.
"ThiS Rock of Ours" really isn't
crusading. It is merely trying to
point out needed improvements. If
the present residents of Key West
don't make these improvements,
future ones will. The idea that any
community, or country for that
matter, can sit back and expect
bowling down to for its past accom-
plishmentS must be wiped out.
Key Westers and "Conchs" have
a right to be proud of the fact
that this was once one of the larg-
est towns in Florida. The Civil War
history, cigar manufacturing,
sponge industries, all of these
things help lend our town glamour
if a person sits in a rocking chair
and daydreams. Historical glamour
isn't sufficient for everyday living
though.
The mother who is raising young
sters can't be thrilled by the fact
that we're unique because we lack
sufficient water for normal house
hold needs.

Rent Forum

(These questions were selected
from those often asked of the local
rent office. If you have a question
about the rent sterilization pro.
gram, address it to: Area Rent Of
flee, PIG Federal Building, Key
West, Florida.)
Question: We have lived in this
apartment about 2 years. During
this time, with the consent of our
landlord we have re-finished the
floors, painted the woodwork and
re-papered three of the rooms, al
our own expense. Now the landlord
wants to evict us so that his daugh.
ter who is to be married soon can
move in. Can he do this? We think
he should evict one of the other
tenants who hasn't spent so much
on their unit. But if he does make
us move, is there any way we can
recover from him the expense we
have been put to in fixing this
place up?
Answer: You have really asked
several questions in one. If your
landlord is acting in good faith and
actually intends for his daughter
to move in, he can petition our Of
flee and secure a certificate relat-
ing to eviction to evict you. All
that such a certificate does it to
let him exercise whatever rights,
if any, he has to evict under the
state law. We can do nothing about
his evicting you instead of another
tenant. He has the right to select
the unit he wants. Regarding your
rehabilitation the unit and any
chance for you to recover the ex-
penses for such, we are sorry to
say that here, too, we have eau
toned tenants time and again not
to rehabilitate rental units or make
repairs unless he makes an ad-
vance agreement with his landlord
regarding the rehabilitation and
gets it approved by the rent office.
Generally speaking, the legal pro-
cedure on this, if the unit is in
need of repair. painting or decorat-
ing, and the landlord fails or re-
fuses to have the necessary re-
pairs made, is for the tenant to Pc

southwestern part of the United
States seems to be today.
Some of the descriptions quoted
by Fort are almost identical with

trying to explain them. (Mam..
Gen. Roger NJ. Ramey said the

If people saw, or thought they
saw, objects in the sky a century
or more ago, these questions i'm
mediately arise:
We're observers subject then, as
now, to the same Authorizations?
Why didn't the saucers' crews
ever land? Surely, the world must
have been a happier place in the
10Th century than ii is now.
Where have the saucers been
during the intervening time? Did
we somehow get mislaid on their
inter-Steilar charts?

make the place his home for two
or three years. He is willing to
accept backward conditions if the
people will let him help improve
them. However, before a person is
allowed to express an opinion on
the island, not only the person
himself, but his grandpa and his
great-grandpa must have been a
dyed-in-the-wool conch.
Every small community puts up
resistance to change. In the long
run, modern science and greater
knowledge on the part of outsiders
pushes it aside.
At present many outsiders are
leaving the island rather than
bother trying to make these neces-
sary changes. The political situa-
ton confuses lot of them. Spot
coming often makes it practically
impossible for others to build the
kind of home they desire. The time
will come when some guy will just
happen to like "The Rock" well
enough to fight all such inconveni-
ences until he wins.

graphical position might have pre-
vented US from keeping abreast of
the times but if we keep trying,
we will improve.

tition our office for a rental reduc-
ton.
Question: On the date that this
area was declared critical, ] was
renting a 5-room house under q
lease which entitled the tenant to
use the garage right behind the
property. AS tenant did not own
a car, both he and / have used the
garage for store purposes. My ten
ant has now purchased a car and
insists that / move my things out
of the garage so he can use it. If
/ do so, can I charge him S. a
month extra for the garage, which
is the usual garage rent in this
neighborhood? 1t is my belief that
because he did not use the garage
on the date the area was declared
critical, that the garage no longer
goes with the house. My tenant says
that the garage went with the house
regardless Of wheher he had a car
or not.
Answer: Your tenant is correct.
The very fact, as you stated your
self, the lease covering the unit in
question, on the date the area was
declared critical, provided for a
5 room house with garage in rear,
would be the final answer that
the garage does 60 with the house.
and therefore, you cannot secure
a rental adjustent to cover such
garage when it would not be an
additional service. The tenant is
now entitled to use of the garage,
and if in any manner you keep
him from using it, he may petit
ton our office for a rental reduc-
ton because of a decrease in SER
vices.

~ Sf<W 6AWSON
NEW YORK Up - The Treasury
is still taking more than half of
what manufacturer earns-but it
isn't getting as much money as a
year ago.
That is because other costs of
doing business are rising. There
isn't as. big a pile of gross earn
ings for the Treasury to get at
even though sales volume is up
for many companies.
The Treasury, however, expects
to make up any shrinkage in cor
porate taxes by larger collections
from individuals, as wages and
salaries rise and the Treasury
takes a deeper dip into personal
income.
individuals, of course, also really
pay the corporate taxes in the long
run, since they are covered by the
higher prices charged on manu-
featured goods.
Surveying operations of 460 CON-
panies for the first half of 1852,
the National City Bank of New
York finds that the Treasury is
getting 50 per cent of their COM
bined gross income, the same per-
centage as year ago.
This includes a 81 per cent cor
porate income tax, plus the excess
profits tax which some of the cor
porations also are assessed, aver
aging off for the AGO firms at So
per cent.
Among them they are putting
aside So, 849, 0O0, 900 for taxes out of
first-half gross earnings of $4,S61,-
600, 900.
But the Treasury is getting 433
million fewer dollars from them
this year than last, or a drop of
Ii per cent.
It comes about this way.
Combined sales receipts of the
AGO are running S per cent ahead
of a year ago, for gain of about
154 billion dollars. However, labor
and other operating costs have in
creased 9 per cent, for a total of
pa billion dollars.
That leaves the $50 companies
1872 million dollars less to pay taxes
on than the year before.
So the federal tax payments viii
be down 433 million-and their net
profit after taxes will be down 299
million dollars.
How operating costs are cutting
in on profits can be shown another
way. A year ago the companies
were averaging So cents profit
margin on each dollar of sales.
This year they net 81 cents.
The federal government isn't the
only one taxing corporations and
individuals. Add, state and local
tax collections, and the total gov
eminent take far exceeds the for
mer peak set in World War II.
The grand total for the 1852 fis-
cal year is about 81 billion dollars,
compared with 70 billion dollars
in 1851.
Corporations pay about 231s bill
lion of this in income taxes. In
dividuals put up more than 80 bill
lion dollars for income tax pay
ments Sales, excise, property, GUS
toms and other taxes make up the
rest.
The cost of being governed-at
the federal, state and local levels
thus exceeds the cost of food, &C.
cording to the bank. 1t estimates
this years food bill in this country
will be around so billion dollars.
The bank concludes: "Taxes
must in the last analysis be borne
by the people, who now pay more
for being governed and defended
than for eating"
