NO EXCUSE


Mr.. Stans certainly has every justification
for his feeling. Last January, it was estimat-
ed that this years Federal budget would end
with slight surplus. Now the anticipated
deficit is in the neighborhood of $12 billion.
Mr.. Stans offered the hope "that revenues
will be better, expenditures less, and the def
cit lot lower" The coming months will tell
as to that. But, at best, the Federal govern
ment will again operate at huge loss, what
ever the exact figure
In the course of his report Mr.. STAINS
spoke of possible new sources of government
revenue. One is further increase in post
age rates-even though substantial raises in
first, second and third class mail charges
went into effect only last August 1. The
postal deficit, despite the August increases,
will reach about $735 million this year
That brings up a significant point. The
late increases were not extended to the fourth
class mail category, which is parcel post. Yet
parcel post has long been a producer of heavy
direct and indirect losses, even though the
enabling law specified that it was to pay its
own way. And parcel post is in direct tax
subsidized competition with the taxpaying
private parcel carriers, even though the en-
abling law specified it was to supplement
the work of these carriers, not to take it
over.
classes should be raised again is matter Of
argument But there can be no. excuse for
continuing parcel post on a losing basis.

Started Record
Firm 10 Help
Daughter

New York - Little did several
record firm owners realize that
when they turned away a Harlem
woman who had been seeking q
"break" for her teen-age daughter
that within six months she would
be one Of their competitors.
Three years ago Zell Sanders
made the rounds of major record
firms begging them to listen to a
singing duo composed of her dau-
ghter, Johnnie, then Is, and her
partner Joe Rivers. From all she
got the usual statement of "sorry,
we've signed up all the rock and
roll groups that we can handle.
Maybe some other time"
Instead Of taking their advice she
started her own record firm using
her kitchen for an office. After
investing the $1,000 she had saved
from a previous job as a police
woman and manager of the Hearts
quartet it became a matter of do
or die with her.
Finally one disc jockey, Tommy
Smalls, liked the samples she had
brought to his attention and two
things happened to her: Johnnie
and Joe's rendition of "Over The
Mountain" on the J & S label began
to be played and started them up
ward on the money-making road
and her competitors began to real
ize that she was here to stay.
At last weeks Broadcast Music,
Ines annual Rhythm and Blues
award luncheon Mrs. Sanders was
on hand to get plaque for publish
ing "Over The Mountain, the tune
which sold over zoo, 900 copies. She
was further surprised when her
daughter handed her the "paid in
full" receipt for a $1,000, two
family home she had bought in the
Bronx.
One of the reasons for starting
her firm, Mrs. Sanders said, was to
help many struggling young per-
formers she meets who had received
the same cold treatment that she
had witnessed before. And natural
ly, as a mother, she points with
pride to the fact that it gave her
daughter, Johnnie, the opportunity
to make good.

3. Creation of a commission to

a. Cooperation on the part of the
Legion with other reputable religi-
Gus, educational and civic organi-
cations and the Supreme Court de-
crees on the integration of public
schools.
1 need not remind you, Sir, that
the issue involved is a most seri-
Gus danger to our national security
and well-being. Continued division
over the enforcement of law is a
luxury American can i'll afford at
this time. Those who seek to resist
the Courts are indeed as un-Ameri-
can as the Communist party itself.
The thousands of Negro Legion
naires, and it is for them in par
ticular that l petition, are shocked
at this suppression of the fight
against homegrown fascists. Is
the membership of Negro veterans
in our great organization to be
taken so lightly?
1t is folly indeed to continue ig-
nOring the need for Legion policy
not alone concerning civil rights,
but in behalf of civil right. En-
lightened veterans of America will
no longer tolerate 1919 concept of
Second-class status either as vet
Grams or citizens. The American
Legion must shake itself loose from
the mire of this archaic concept.
Failure to do so puts up out of step
with the rest of America.
The great American Legion can
and should be a tremendous force
for law and order including obedi-
ence and respect for the Supreme
Court. Any other course makes
hollow mockery of our pledge in
behalf of the principles of Brother
hood and Democracy.
Respectfully,
John d. Silvera.

He said legislation to curb oil

other cooperating associations Of
domestic producers, "would be a

He pointed t. continued declines
