THE ENEMY ON
THE HIGHWAY

This nation spends some S4U
billion a year to maintain its mil
itary defenses, in the hope that
another war and the toll of death,
destruction and human misery
that would follow can be pre-
vented. i.
Yet, each year, the toll OF
death. destruction and human
misery caused by highway acct
dents - of which the major
cause is excessive speed - rivals
the casualty lists of wars of the
past fought with conventional
weapons.
1t is true, of course, that a
nuclear war would undoubtedly
produce casualty lists infinitely
greater than those of convention
ally-fought wars. 1t also looks as
if there is a percentage of driv-
ers who are hell-bent on sending

HOPE FOR
BODYBUILDING

Housing Administrator Albert
M. Cole recently said that pros
pective home-buyers or builders
in small communities should not
have trouble in obtaining fininc-
ing for their homes. He said they
could make use of the facilities
offered by the Voluntary Home
Mortgage Credit Program
Since this program is not too
well known, we will outline some
of Mr.. Coles suggestions. Ger
tainly the reduction in home
building is a serious turn in the
economy and if the Housing Ad-
ministrator is correct in his an
alysis, his announcement is of
great Importance to the country.
Cole says that in spite of tight
money, the new five and one
fourth percent interest rate on
Federal Housing Administration
loans IS attractive enough to n
able the voluntary program TO
obtain private financing to meet
tn eneeds of all qualified borrow
ers. He notes that the availability
of funds goes hand-in-hand with
lower down payments recently
voted in Congress.
Moreover, he said that these
factors can result in quite a squirt
in BODYBUILDING in small COM
munities. For that to happen,
home-huyers and builders will
have to be aware of and take adj
vantage of the Voluntary Home
Mortgage Credit program and

VHMCP's national committee.
In short, that organization con-

IAN ABYSMAL
FAILURE

Writing in Railway Progress,
Senator Neuberger of Oregon
tells of "The Tax That Chokes
the West. The levy in question
is the 8 per cent excise tax on
freight shipments a World War
II emergency measure which is
still on the books. 1t is, as Sen
ator Neuberger points out, a tax
which is detrimental to all the
states in general and particularly
to the West.
He cites factual proof of this.
Products which r grown in
the Far West must travel 1000
to 5000 miles to reach major
markets. Therefore - the excise
tax being a percentage of the to-
tai freight bill - Western farm
ers and other producers r at a
heavy competitive disadvantage,
through no fault of their own.
Oregon Gamers, for instance, will
pay a transportation tax of S30.96
on a carload shipment to the
L ltlSDu1 gu d1Cd dS IOiliPdiS0 W
S7.92 for a midwest shipper.
Western consumers are penaliz-
ed too - because the many COM
modities they obtain from distant
eastern factory centers also carry
a heavy tax.
Senator Neuberger's article is
lengthy, and he presents many
compelling arguments against this
destructive tax - arguments that
in many cases apply to the whole
country, not just the West. His
ending sums up the problem and
points to the solution: by all
possible tests, including its effect
on our total economy and on ma
jor areas of the United States,
the 3 per cent federal excise tax
on freight has been an abysmal
failure. The time has come to
this unfair levy - now"

THE HAY FEVER SEASON

Those who have their annual
trouble with the sniffles and the
sneezes in late summer and fall
can get ready for a bumper hay
fever season The annual peak of
the ragweed season is approach
ing.
The height of the season comes
at slightly varying times in diff
ferent parts of the country. In
the more northern sections, the
peak of the pollen season somes
between August 18th and Sep
TENDER 18th. In nor southern
areas the peak is experienced
slightly later in the year.
AS a general rule most people
can tolerate a pollen count OF
less than twenty-five grains of
pollen in each cubic yard of air.
However, some are bothered by
a count of ten or fifteen, while
a few cannot tolerate a count CT
five or less.
Hay fever is not a distur-
bance to be taken lightly, and ii
is estimated that several people
out of each hundred in the Unit
ed States suffer from its effects
each year. That would mean that
of Americans are affect
Perhaps the best remedy for
ed by it.
Perhaps the best remedy for
most people today consists OF in
jections of an extract from the
ragweed plants. Allergy tests, and
such injections, can help a large
percentage of sufferers. This
method is coming into increasing
use and should be considered by
all who suffer from hay fever.

Chou Demands
 Reciprocal Rights g For Reporters

PEIPING, R ~ Premier Chou En Lai told touring American youths Saturday that "A U. S.. newsmen will not be admitted to Red China unless the United States allows Chinese reporters the same rights.
 Chou told the Americans the State Department put an end to the matter by refusing reciprocal rights of coverage by Chinese reporters"
 Chou met with Al Americans at the headquarters of the State Council and talked on American prisoners in China, Chinese ''pris- oners'' in the United States, newsmen, the Hungarian report in the United Nations, Formosa and Tibet.
 Chou said Red China is against the LIN Hungarian report. Ut starts from the standpoint of in terfering in the internal affairs of Hungary It distorts facts''
 This dispatch was filed to the Associated Press from Peiping by Frederic Grab of Arlington, Va, 22-year-o member of the Am erican delegation.
 Under the State Department proposal for an exchange of news men the United States would con- sider the admission of Red Chi nese reporters, and each case would be handled on it's own merits. Secretary of State Dulles has said admission of the Chi nese would have to comply with existing US. laws dealing with the Communists in the United States.
