Dickens Manuscript
Brought High Price

Only a few years ago. a previ-
ously unpublished Dickens manu-
script, The Life Of Our Lord"
was presented to the world.
This simple, moving narrative
had been written by Dickens 100
years earlier for the exclusive en-
joyment OF his children and be-
cause he felt such deep generation
and reverence for the life and les
sons of Jul Saviour, Dickens had
left instructions that this particu-
lar manuscript never be CONNER
cialized. 1t was never made public
until the year 1888, after the death
of Sir Henry Fielding Dickens, the
authors youngest child.
Literary Prize
Purchased by the London Daily
Mail for the staggering amount of
S210, 000-or, SIS per word, the
manuscript became a literary
event Of the first magnitude, des-
tined to be read and cherished for
ever wherever thoughtful parents,
like Dickens, want their children
to know something about the his
tory Of Jesus Christ.
For, according to Dickens:
Everybody ought to know about
Him. No one ever lived who was
SO good, SO kind, SO gentle. and so
sorry for people who did wrong or
were in any way i'll and miserable,
as He was.
"And as he is now in Heaven,
where we all hope to go, and all
meet each other after we are dead
and there be happy always to-
gether you can never think what
a good place heaven is, without
knowing who He was and what
He did"

Apparently man was very salts

were made in transportation.

With the inventions of the

DID YOU KNOW
BY M/Sgt. Bill AinsIey
J. S. Army Recruiting Service

VIVA AsA4A6 0C1 "
Did you know the worlds first
mode of transportation is still
something we would not trade for
the most modern, our feet.
AS we look back mnay, many
thousands of years ago when the
feet rel the only mode of travel,
just imagine what took place up
through the years to have resulted
in an improvement.
Imagine man moving from one
point to another, with a huge load
lashed to his back. AS he moves
slowly along he notices animals
of many sizes lazily grazing by
the way side. Then the thought
must have occurred, that back
looks much stronger than mine,
maybe l could ride also. After
many bruises from kicks and
falls, the animal was finally con-
quered, this must have created a
boom in the animal business. Now
man could increase his load and
also ride, not being satisfied, he
now begin to wonder how he
could increase his load and still
be able to ride. The idea of
flashing two long poles one on
each side of the animal and allow
ing one end to drag along on the
ground, now he could lash adj
ditional cargo on the poles. Can
you imagine a man riding along
on his loaded animal, and drag
ging the loaded poles, when all of
a sudden he noticed his animal
almost had a smile on it's face,
because something had happened
to cause his pulling to be much
easier. Turning around to investi-
gate, he found the ends of the
poles were passing over round
stones, and they yer turning.
This must have really created
many thoughts. How can l get
something round to stay under
each pole, and then how can I
get them to turn. In the year of
1000 BIC the tree trunk must have
solved the problem, after many
days of chopping at a tree, two
round wheels were made, n
attached together by an axle,
maybe the axle turned with the
wheels. Progress was now taking
place. Man could increase his
load on the animal, he could also
attach a fashionable wagon be-
hind the animal, and he could still
ride, but with much more comfort.
This led to the chariot, the buggy.
The wheel has been the greatest of
all inventions in the progress of
transportation.
The boat must have had an
interesting origin. The idea could
have originated during a flood
when a man was being swept
down stream, when he noticed a
log floating by, he could have
climbed on, and now realizing he
was riding in the water, led to
logs together forming the
raft. Then man decided he wanted
a place he could carry his cargo
without it getting wet, and again
still be able to ride. By burning
and chopping he soon discovered

peal Of the ~ per cent legal
limit on long-term bond inter-
est rates.
BY a top-heavy 378-7 vote,
the House sent to the Senate a
bill allowing the Treasury to
boost interest payments on the
Governments popular denomi-
nation "E" and III" bonds
from 3h to 3A per cent. The
Senate Finance Committee is
scheduled to take up the bill
today.
President Deiied
While accepting the boost in
savings bonds rates. the House
defiantly turned down the main
feature of the Presidents in
terest rate program, which
would give him authority to
disregard the present ~ per
cent ceiling on all long-term
Government bonds maturing In
Ave years or longer.
In a special message to
Congress last month. the Presi-
dent declared mo issue Of
greater Importance has come
before Congress this session.
The President said refusal to
repeal the interest ceiling
means more imitation, higher
cost Of managing the record
$3.50 billion debt, and a threat
to the integrity Of dollar and
the Governments credit.

have to come back in special

House leaders. long voiced
privately. that a special session
later this year may be thrust
on Congress If necessary to
meet the Presidents demands
on housing and interest rate

On a straight party-line d.

Presidents request to put aside
the interest limitation on other

will provide the principal Air
Force punch.
Some futuristic weapons will
be less costly to taxpayers, but
the entire program is ire
mendously expensive.
Gen. White limited that in
order to hold down costs and
simplify weapons systems, the
Air Force might in the future
rely on one plane-the super
speed. super-range BIO now
under development-to carry
out almost all missions, bomb
ing. fighting, reconnaissance
and even some airlift.
This would imply. some Air
Force observers said. that a
high-level decision is in the
making to drop the costly F-lO8
development program and rely
on the BIO to carry out fight
ers' mission.
Air Secretary Douglas said in
a speech prepared for delivery
here today that the sharp
competition of missile. aircraft
and other projects for Air Force
and defense resources will al
most inevitably cause the post
ponement. even the elimina-
ton. Of desirable projects.
There has been Defense De-
partment pressure on the Air
Force to drop the F-l08 prof.
ect--which will cost more than
o billion dollars Just to carry
through the testing phase-or
drop the BIO or both. The ar
gument against the weapons is
that they are costly and will
be outmoded by missiles.
But If the Air Force can
rely on one plane for almost
all missions-which Gen. White
said is being seriously exam
ined"-then money will be
saved and the Air Force can
have planes in addition to
missiles.

This marked the second time

The House on Wednt sday up

the remaining business.
Pairing Offered
The Texan said he felt it
was his duty to 60 along with
the majority. He said he Of
fered to give Senator Morse a
pair" to protect his vote If he
was out Of town, but that
apparently did not satisfy the
Oregon Senator. A Senator
who gives a pair agrees to with
hold his vote on any roll call
in order to cancel out the vote
Of the absent member.
Senator Morse said that
while he had a speaking en-
gagement in Salem, he thought
1t was particularly inappro-
pirate" to meet on this Labor
Day after what Congress had
just done to labor in the new
labor reform bill. Senator
Morse was one Of two Senators
who voted against the bill. He
said his primary purpose was
to block the "steam-roller
tactics" which he said result
in bad legislation in a drive to
adjourn.
In his letter to Senator
johnson, Senator Morse said
that on Thursday he notified
Robert Baker. secretary to the
Democrats on the floor, that
he wanted to file a standing re-
quest for a quorum call before
any unanimous consent agree
ment to limit debate.
Perfectly Proper"
Making this request through
Mr.. Baker at a time when you
were not on the floor was in
keeping with common practice
in the Senate and perfectly
proper" wrote Senator Morse.
Il assume that you we're aware
Of it. In spite of that fact, and
while I was called of the floor
for not more than three min
utes on an emergency matter
and without a quorum call, you
asked for and obtained a
unanimous consent agreement
for time limitation on the
housing bill veto debate.
Subsequently. when I tried
to discuss this matter at your
desk with you, ! was met with
an inexcusable flare of temper
on your part and a serving of
notice by you that I would have
to be on the floor to protect my
parliamentary rights and you
would protect yours.
II have become accustomed
to this failure on your part to
carry out your majority leader
ship responsibilities Of fair and
impartial protection Of my par
liamentary rights. Your decls-
ration Of parliamentary war
against me is accepted. I do
not intend to yield to your die
tatorship."
