Associated Press Staf Writer

Senator George. Democrat oil
Georgia, predicted yesterday the
Democratic-controlled House will
move Immediately toward a re-
duction in individual income
taxes when Congress reconvenes
next month. But he said it may
be some time before the Senate
gets around to considering the
issue.
Senator George, a veteran
member of the Senate Finance
Committee, said in a telephone
interview from Vienna. Ga, that
he feels sentiment for tax cuts
will be so strong among return
ing legislators that the House
Ways and Means Committee will

floor action. Senator George said
the Senate may not get around
to considering the tax issue for
some time. He said this lapse Of
time will provide more informa-
ton on whether the budget is
going to be balanced.
Il hope we can increase the
individual income tax exemp-
ton from 5000 to at least $780,"
Senator George said. THAT will
benefit the low income group
most. but it will help everybody.
Also. I think there should be
some adjustment in the rates on
middle income brackets"
The middle brackets generally
are regarded as those ranging
from $4,000 up to about $4,000
a year. 1t has been Senator
Georges contention that many
small businessmen in this bracket
have been hard hi and need
tax relief.
Senator George has opposed
any reduction in overall corpo-
ration rates, which now range
to maximum of So per cent.

act quickly. That is where al
tax bills must originate.
While there have been indi.
cations that President Eisen-
hover might point the way to a
future tax cut in his January
State-of the Union message, ad-
Iministration officials generally
have indicated they want to
hold off on any specific recon-
mendations until there are
clearer indications that the bud
get will be balanced.
Senator George. who has said
budget balancing is at hand. in
dicated that he expects the Dem
ocrats to get the jump on the
administration in tax cutting.
Il am under the impression
there will be an immediate move
lin the House and that action
will be taken there rather
promptly" Senator. George said.
He added he thinks the move
will have the full approval of
House Speaker Rayburn of Texas.

association, says that the higher
hospital incidence of males i'm
plies that they are the "sicklier
and more hospitalized SEX"
Another consideration which
some might think would offset
the hospital occupancy figures is
the fact that more males are born
than females, and therefore it
might be assumed that there are
more males in the United States
than females. However, the oppo-
site is true. Females make up
about 50.3 per cent of the popu-
lation, while occupying only about
46.8 per cent Of the hospital beds.
Another indication that males
are quite susceptible to health de-
ficiencies is the fact that the sur
vey found that there were 11,400
more boys among patients under
fifteen years of age in hospitals.
Thus it seems that the head of
the family - the man who wears
the pants - the Tarzan Of 1855,
is not all he is cracked up to be.
With a life expectancy of $50
years as compared with his wife's
expectancy of 71.8 years, the male
is definitely the most fragile ar
ticle in the average American
family.

their convention August 9th, and
the Republicans expected to open
theirs in September of next year,
one can see that the time for
presidential campaigning is con-
siderably reduced. Whereas the
conventions began in July, 1852,
they will be starting next year
more than a month later.
This is a reflection of the short
err, modern campaigns, in part pro-
duced by television, which will
feature presidential elections in
the future. We r highly in favor
of shorter campaigns, and later
conventions. In that way the voter
will not have to make up his
mind ten different times before
he votes - he can just make it
up eight times - and the presi-
dental candidates will not wear
holes in their shoes.
And anyone who covered the
1852 convention in Chicago will be
glad to know he does not face the
prospect of another heat wave
Like that one, at convention time.
From all angles then, the shorter
campaigns are desirable.

OO MAOOGn4N
The announcement recently by
the two major political parties
that they would hold their con-
ventions in late August and Sep
TENDER of next year is of historic
significance.
For many years now the parties
have been staging their conven-
tons in the summer. This has
been necessary for years because
the candidates nominated needed
much time in which to campaign
before the November elections.
The time was necessary because
the candidates had to travel to
every corner of the country and
make many political talks and
appearances, sometimes before
small groups.
Now that much of the political
campaign is conducted on tele-
vision, not SO much time is need
ed. The candidates can make a
few television appearances these
days and reach as many people as
they reached in a week a few
years ago. And whereas the presi-
Dental candidates have had radio
at their disposal for some thirty
years in presidential campaigns,

the man he votes on to be Presi-
dent.

CONSERVING GAME

AS the population of this coun-
try increases, and more and more
guns and fishing rods are taken
out into the woods and on the
streams and waters of the various
sections, an increasingly acute
problem will be the conservation
of wildlife.
This problem has already reach
ed the acute stage in some areas,
and with some species of wildlife.
The answer to the threat of game
extinction seems to lie in several
fields. One of the remedies to this
eventual outcome lies in shorter
hunting and fishing seasons.
Game conservation offices, both
state and federal, have already re-
sponded to the threat of extinction
in some fields by shortening sea-
sons, lowering the bag and catch
limits and tightening up enforce
ment. But the problem is not yet
solved.
In some areas, forward-looking
restocking programs have been
begun. But the major factor in
volved in this problem is the hui
man factor - the mass psychology
of the hunters and fishermen, and
their attitude toward bag limits,
seasons, etc.
Too many old-time hunters have
little regard for the limits, and
laugh about above-limit totals.
Many a covey of birds has been
killed down so greedily one sea-
son that none are around the next.
If only three or four birds had
been left, possibly even two, a
covey would be found the fol-
lowing season. Until this realiza-
ton and the general realization
that conservation habits must be
practiced by all sportsmen, the de-
creasing supply of wildlife will
remain an acute problem. The av-
erage hunter is the only person
who can solve it.
The Sidney herald., 1955-01-27
A BAD SIGN FOR 1855

1t is too early as yet to predict
that the number of highway
deaths in 1855 will rise sharply,
but in several areas there is al
ready disturbing evidence that
the accident toll on the highways
is increasing ominously.
For instance, in Maryland 20
deaths on the highways were re-
corded in the first ten days of
January. At that rate, if it contin-
ued, there would be over go high
way deaths in this state alone, this
month. That would be well over
the 1854 death rate.
On one recent week end a
Washington, D. c., newspaper re-
ported thirty-two deaths on the
highways of the District, Virginia
and Maryland. And that was not
a holiday week end. Eight people
were killed in one head-on col
lision on this week end, a car with
five men skidding a thousand feet
and then crashing into a car head
on, carrying three occupants. All
were killed.
Five teenagers, three of them
girls, were killed in another of
the accidents making up that 81
death week end. The causes of
these accidents - the one claim
ing eight lives and that killing
five - were listed as speed and
reckless driving. But speed is the
great killer of 1855, it appears.
One reason for this great speed
is the increased power of the
engines in 1955-model cars. One
can't condemn a mechanical We
hicle for high-powered perfor-
mances. which 1855 automobiles
have, and the blame must be laid
to drivers who lack judgment.
AS of right now, it looks as if
1855 might be a record year for
highway deaths, if caution is not
exercised. With the greater speed
now attainable in many models, a
lack Of judgment results in more
serious results than heretofore.

MALES: THE WEAKER SEX?

NAFAAlL0s I'LL SEAs
Recent tabulations show that,
as far as health is concerned, the
male specie is evidently the weak
er sex. Not only do women have
a life span which averages six
years longer, but they stay in bet
ter health during their lifetime
than do their male counterparts.
A recent hospital survey showed
that male patients in hospitals
outnumbered women patients by
over $1,000, as of 1858. The total
hospital occupancy figures showed
642, 156 men and 564,436 women in
the country'S hospitals. OF course,
some of the men in these hospitals
might be there as the result of
war injuries and permanent all
ments incurred in serving their
country in times of combat, but
the fact that women must bear
children and, therefore, occupy
hospital beds for this purpose
should offset this.
And figures on voluntary health
insurance show that more females
have this insurance service than
do males. Thus, the females are
not less thoroughly covered by
hospital insurance than are men,
generally the workers in the fam
lily, which some would have
thought.
