Moses had a rod, but did not kno7
its value until God talked to hi

God commanded him to throw it

to the Red Sea and led tie people
out of bondage but still there wer
people complaining. The sea was in

walls on either side Uut' Moses had
something in his HAND and God told
him all ne needed to do was to

was opposed to the payroll tax
Gin principle"
Mr.. Hyde said he would favor
an increase In the Federal share
Of the District tax burden, ut
Inst to the $40 million figure
