For instance, q brown-haired

night, unable to give an account
Of herself. She said she is from

Meanwhile, she will stay IN the

Before starting on their tour
yesterday, the committee voted
to set up subcommittee, includ-
ing representatives of other in
terested groups. to explore two
things.
/. What can be done to fix
the admittedly bad situation at
the receiving home?
2. What can be done to curtail
juvenile delinquency?
This group. it is planned, will
meet with outside experts on the
subject within as few days as
possible.

Hi Gang!
All of you should have gone along
to the music contest last Saturday.
You would have had the great privil-
ege of seeing Ron Chidester riding
one of those little ponies in a Mans
field store at 10 cents ride. He had
so much fun on it, and was rather
provoked when we didn't stop to eat
there on the way home. Besides this,
Ron is an accomplished lecturer.
Some of his best lectures include
"How Good Ron Chidester is in Eng
lish" and Items on the Bluffton vs.
Wiltshire Came. But the one that
we like best is "Big Words" or "The
Things Which Science Knows Moth
ing About"
There was a Varsity B meeting in
the cafeteria last Monday night with
school year. There was also joint
Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y meeting Monday
night. David Jones was the speaker.
Want to know why Sally Hilty is
so happy this weeke??? Because her
o. A. o. was here last week end.
There will be a bake sale SPONSOR
ed by the senior class next Saturday,
April 30, at Swanks' Meat Market.
Your purchases will help the desper-
ate seniors get to Washington and
New York.
Don K and Sue NJ, Thorne l.. and
Karin H., Frank G. and Kay c., and
Paul G. and Karen z. were among the
couples who found it very cozy on the

Congratulations to the music de
partment for receiving four out Of

Who's the mystery guy you were
with Sunday, 10 Ann? Did you have
fun riding by some of your best
friends and splashing them?

Senator Byrd apparently wanted
to get his position on the record
while the President is still con-
sidering the matter.
Borrow s2e Billion.
Senator Byrd said the commit
tee advised the President to
finance the new road program
through a Federal corporation
which, without either assets or
income, would borrow $50 billion
from the public. The Treasury
would guarantee the cor
porations S bonds. but the debt
would not be included in the
record Of obligations guaranteed
by the United States.
Annual appropriations to
meet principal and interest pay
ments would be requested. Sem
ator Byrd said. tBut the re-
quest could not be refused or
reduced by subsequent Com
crosses for 80 years, ii the faith
and credit of the Government
are to be honored. If financial
difficulty should develop at any
time, the corporation, with no
further authorization, could
make mandatory calls upon the
Treasury for amounts up to SIS
billion outstanding at any one
time.
Such procedures violate n
flancing principles, fdefy budget
airy control and evade Federal
debt law. If the Federal Gov
ernment can properly borrow
money for roads in this fashion,
without regarding it as debt,
and spend it without budgetary
control. it may be expected that
similar proposals will be made
for financing endless outlays
which may be desirable for edu-
cation. hospitals. public health,
etc. In fact. ! am informed that
such a plan is now under con-
sideration for school construc-
tion."

Byrd Blasts Move
To Finance Roads by
Unlisted Bond Issue
BY ]. a. o'Leory

Senator Byrd. Democrat OF
Virginia, last night attacked as
.urisounds the plan to finance a
new s25 billion Federal highway
program by the sale OF bonds,
guaranteed by the Government
but not counted in the public
debt.
He proposed, instead, that the
Federal Government continue to
match State highway expendi-
tures, but reduce the Federal
gasoline tax from two cents to
one-half cent per gallon and let
the States make greater use of
that source of revenue.
His recommendation will carry
weight because, as new chairman
Of the Finance Committee, SEN
ator Byrd will have charge Of a
bill this Congress soon will con-
slider to extend Or modify cor
poration and excise taxes.
Substitute Spelled Out.
In spelling out his substitute,
Senator Byrd recommended.
/. That the two-cent Federal
gas tax be repealed. thus per-
nlitting the States to reimpoSe
it,
2. That the present Federal
aid for highways Of about $535
million a Year be continued.
8. That the present Federal
tax on lubricating oil be con-
tinued.
4. That one-half cent Fed
eral tax be applied to gasoline,
which. with the lubricating tax,
would soon compensate for the
Federal aid.
If the States followed the
recommendation to reimpose the
two-cent tax, the overall effect
would be an increase Of one-half
q cent in gas taxes. Senator
Byrd pointed out that state
could avoid the overall increase
by Just reimposing one and one
half cents Of the Federal tax.

was unfolded last week Id the
