Senate Cloakroom
By j. GLENN BEALL
United States Senator from
Maryland

Every cent the T. S. Government
spends ultimately comes out of the
pockets of the American taxpayer.
There is no way in the world to
| obtain the revenues necessary
, to maintain high-cost Government
without retaining a vast number of
American people on the tax rolls.
Taxes must be levied where the
source of revenue is-and this is
with the rank and file of the Ma
tons taxpayers at all income tax
levels.
The Administration favors in
come tax reductions for the Ameri-
can people. That has been evil
denced by actions in the past. The
only manner in which these reduc-
tons can be made is through a
sound judgment as to the proper
time for such action 1t must not be
done haphazardly.
For the record, Republican Con-
crosses have voted seven of the ten
income tax reductions made since
the law was passed in 1913
But these reductions were care
fully thought out and designed to
give the most relief to individuals.
For instance, millions of persons
and thousands of businesses
throughout America received tax
reductions and fairer tax treatment
under the 1854 Internal Revenue
Code, the first complete revision of
Federal tax laws in more than rs
years.
Almost tWo-thirds of the tax re-
auctions in the law went directly
to individual taxpayers suffering
from special hardships and unfair
provisions under the old tax law.
The national economy is now at
high and rising level and the Adj
minisration will keep a close guard
over that economy. 1t will provide
other tax reductions as rapidly as
a sound economy will permit

No Such Thing AS
Blight-Resistant Tomato

Home gardeners should take
with a grain of salt any claims
statesmen may make that they have
bligst-resistant tomatoes for sale.
AS yet, there's no such thing
available, say plant disease special
lists. The gardener must depend on
favorable weather conditions and
or sprays or dusts to control blight.
j. w. HeubergeT, Extension Path
Ologist at the University of Della
ware. suggests spraying or dusting
tomatoes as soon as the first fruit
has set, or when the fruit is about
the size of marbles. Repeat appli-
cations about every 10 days
throughout the season. Ali leaf and
fruit diseases are much more de-
structive during wet weather.
Copper has long been recon-
mended and it's still good, but there
are several new organic chemicals
on the market that are as good and
somewhat better than copper. These
include zineb and maneb.2 The
manufacturers directions for us
ing these materials will be found
on the container. Follow them
carefully.
Late blight will not be a prob
lem unless there is a lot of wet,
cool weather. Under such cOndi-
tions late blight can become very
destructive, and it is important to
do a thorough job of spraying or
busting.
Tomato growers also are often
plagued by virus disease, usually
called mosaic There are several
viruses which affect tomatoes.
Some will completely dwarf plants,
others will turn the leaves into a
shOestringlike effect, others will
merely produce a mottled effect on
the leaves. All of these viruses are
spread from infected plants, either
by insects or by the grower when
he prunes or works the tomatoes.
If you have any of the viruses, be
careful not to prune or handle
healthy plants after you have work
ed with the diseased plants. Sprays
or dusts do not control viruses, ex-
cept when they control the insect
carriers.
Further information on tomato
disease control is available from
county agents.

THE University of Delaware is
sorry to lose Mr.. Bohning", Dr.
Perkins declared ''for he has
done much to reorganize and i'm
prove the functioning OF our regis
trar's office. At the same time, his
departure will enable us to bring
two related activities under the
direction of a single administra-

steps abe university has taken to
reduce it's costs and make the
best use of its limited financial re-

Is his heart strong and regular?
The doctor will listen for a heart
murmur. Maybe there is need for
some restriction of vigorous activi-
ty.
Johnny's posture will be looked
at. If he doesn't hold his body well,
he wastes energy. The doctor will
want to help Johnny stand and sit
in the most efficient fashion. How
about Johnny's feet? Are his aches
strong and his legs straight? Do
his shoes and socks fit?
Is Johnny too thin or too fat?
The doctor will be interested in
how much sleep Johnny gets and
how adequate his diet is.
Before school starts, Johnny must
have sinoculations against certain
diseases. He must be vaccinated
against smallpox and given injec-
tions against diptheria, whooping
cough and tetanus. If he had these
shots in infancy he will need boost
er injections before school.
The doctor will ask about John
ny's personality. Do you have any
trouble with him? Is he too timid,
or too aggressive? Can. he dress
himself? Does he get along well
with other children? With adults?
It's good to talk out questions of
this sort with, the doctor. He can
often help you and Johnny.
After Johnny's check up with
your doctor be sure to take him to
the dentist too. It's important that
tiny cavities in first teeth be re-
paired.

tOHuluOD. HIS DO0y should be In
health should be good. If he has
either physical or emotional handi-
caps it's going to be harder for him
to get the most from his education.
Even If you think Johnny is a
sturdy healthy youngster; take him
to your doctor for complete physi-
cal examination. If you do this well
before the opening of school you'll
have time to take care of correc-
tion, If any defects are found, be-
fore school begins.
The doctor will examine Johnny
from head to toe, and he'll ask you
a lot of questions, too. It's import
ant that you be there, because only
you can give all the answers. Also
if you're there the doctor can plan
with you what needs to be done.
The doctor will test Johnny's eye
sight and his hearing. It's surpris-
ing how often a youngster will have
quite marked defects in one or the
other of these areas and nobody
suspect it until the child is put
through the tests. Obviously a child
who can't see the blackboard clear
ly, or hear everything the teacher
says will have trouble in school,
Sometimes children are considered
dumb or stupid and the only thing
that's wrong with them is that they
don't know what's going on.
The doctor will examine Johnny's
throat, tonsils, sinuses carefully.
Did he have a lot of colds last win
ter? Does he sleep with his mouth
open? Does he have earache? Occa-
sionally child needs tonsils or
adenoids. or both, removed.
How about his heart and lungs?
