Use of Pupil
Placement Law
by Rev. r. K. Young

For weeks the newspapers have
been making much ado about the
school boards intention to make
full use of the pupil placement
laws to the end that as few Ne
groes as possible will attend for
merly all white schools The tone
Of many of the articles seem to
point to the possibility of the pu-
pill placement laws being used
to get around desegregation alto

Little Rock School Board seems
to give some credence to the a.

KEEPING AHEAD OF
THE REDS

The experts are disagreed as to
whether or not we are ahead of
Russia in the guided missile race.
Therefore, it is good to know
that we definitely are ahead in
the production of steel and con-
tinue to widen the gap.
The American Iron and Steel
Institute reports that between
1855 and 1858, the U.S.A. in
creased steel capacity by nearly
14.9 million net tons, while Rus
sia added 1913 million tons.
Even more encouraging: the
free world added 53.3 million net
tons between 1855 and 1853, while
Russia and its satellites added
only 1913 million tons. Deducting
the 14.9 million ton increase
shown by the U.S.A. during this
period, we find that the nations
of the free world increased their
aggregate steel making capacity
by nearly 38.9 million tons. This
contrasts with about 9.5 million
tons added by all the countries
under Russian domination.
These statistics are based on
reports made by United Nations.
Since that organization released
these steel capacity figures late
in 1858, both Russia and China
have announced major steel in
dustry expansion programs. But
we are betting that when the 1859
steel-making capacity figures are
made available, the United States
and its friends of the free world,
will have shown a greater in
crease than the gain made by
Russia and the nations its con-
trolls.
Yes, there's lot of warm COM
fort for us in these cold steel sta
tisticS.

The Lezaten Season

The Lenten season, with its significance
in approach to Easter, brings us once more
face to face with the realities of sacrifice.
These things we do with real and sincere mo-
tive as preparations are made for the beauti-
full celebration of the Christ at Eastertime.
Remembering His words, Forgive them
Father, for they know not what they do,
still provides us with great challenge to
regulate and pilot our lives in such manner
that we can be of service to others.
Men, even though devoted and inspired
with talents of concern and understanding,
far to often forget the divine pattern of life.
As the days following Easter move into weeks
and months, the urge to serve fellowmen
humbly and graciously loses the lustre of the
Cross and the energies and efforts put forth
become as habits of a daily design. They be-
come ineffective and unattractive and soon
the entire course of service path pitifully
lacks the vitamins of Christian inspiration
1t is then men look forward to new
Easter, to another Spring of hope and renew
ed faith with the experience again of the
Cross to provide a newness of life, purpose
OF existence and greater enthusiasm for
service.
Service to felloWInen comes in SO many
different flavors. One avenue of approach

KEEPERS OF THE FLAME

In the little town of Summit,
Mississippi, there is small
grassroots weekly newspaper,
published by a gallant little
lady who not only owns it, but
edits it and produces it single

Summit Sun and the versatile
publisher is Mrs. Mary Dawson

Our ability to serve is many times adj
justed to our desire to please some person
ality. 1t is motivated by selfishness and does
not include the multitudes Some petty griev-

these we share. Yet a practical program of

the human masks of classification and by for

Easter means hope and security and gra-

qualities of service-sacrifice understanding

Dear Sir:
Regarding the recently scaled
down budget submitted by our
county commissioners and the
resulting appropriation cuts to
the various county offices, | say,
Bravo"
In this day when governing
bodies all over the country are
spending more and more money
and crying for more and more
taxes it surely is refreshing to
find, right here in our own
county, a group of men that be-
lieve that we can have good
government at less cost and are
willing to put that belief to work.
There are those who have
voiced disapproval of the actions
of the commissioners in this mat
ter, but III bet they would be
more than pleased to accept a
cut in taxes. AS I see it, tax
cut would surely follow a gen
eral cut in governmental ex-
penses all over the country and
that has to start someplace so
why not here Goodness knows,
the American people need and
deserve a cut in taxes.
Stick to your guns commits
sioners and if anyone refuses to
give good government on their
appropriation We'll boot them
out. There are more people for
you than you think.
Sincerely,
And Sincerely.

Do you have reimbursed ex-
penses paid to you by your en-
ployer on per diem basis and
on a fixed mileage basis for your
car expenses? If so, then this
regulation may help you. If you
can qualify, as below, you do not
have to report this reimburse
ment as income or detail the
expenses on your income tax re-
turn.
An extensive study has been
made of the rates of mileage al
lowances and per diem allow
9nces in lieu of subsistence paid
employees by substantial num-
Der of employers, including states
and municipalities, and the met
lod of accounting for these al
owances required of the en-
1loyees by such employers. On
he basis of this study, it has
oeen administratively determin-
d that for purposes of section
l.162-17(b) of the Income Tax
Regulations an employee who
pays for incurs ordinary and nee
essary business expenses for
travel (including meals and
lodging) and transportation for
which he is paid by his employer
a fixed mileage allowance or a
per diem allowance in lieu of sub
sistence at rates not IN excess of
l25 percent of the rates authoriz-
ed to be paid by the Federal
Government in the locality in
which the travel is performed will
be deemed to have been required
to account to his employer for
such expenses for purposes of
such regulations.
The maximum mileage allow
ance on a fixed scale authorized
20 be paid by the Federal Gov
ernment for use of a personal
automobile on official travel is 10
cents per mile and the maximum
per diem allowance on a fixed
scale in lieu of subsistence auth
orized to be paid while travel
ing within the continental Unit
ed States is $1,000 per day. Ac-
cordingly, it is held that for our-
poses of section l.162-l7(b) OF
the Income Tax Regulations an
employee will be deemed to have
been required to account to his
employer in cases where the
diem allowance in lieu of sub
rates of mileage allowance or per
sistence paid by the employer are
not in excess of 12ia cents per
mile and $500 per day, respec-
lively.
