| nave often wondered Cne
reason for SymbOliZing Satan
with red fiery clothes and
a pitc hfork. The place of the
unrested ones would be
Hades, a place of eternal
fire and birthstone. After
living on the desert for nine
years, l can realize at least
part of the traditional loca-
ton of Satan'S home as a
hot place.
Heat, an intense heat, is
probably the worst force that
a human can endure. The mi
mute pores of your dermis
try to breathe and help you.
Your eyes sting with the feel
of heat. Your head spins
with the fast throbbing of
blood rushing around your
body. You pant and gasp for
air which is too hot to take in.
Your skin is inflamed and
your body begins to wilt like
a dropping rose.
Hot, dry, deadening air
attempts to stir the leaves
on a brown leaf tinged tree.
The small palm tree in the
front yard gamely struggles
to withstand the rays of Sol.
Primitive man searching for
an explanation of nature must
have easily discovered the
ravages of heat and the mis-
erableness of too much heat.
Modern man has been trying
to beat the heat for many
decades. Architects devised
ways to hide enclosed areas
to catch the breeze. Circula-
ting fans were found to pro-
duce better cooling effects
than had propelled fans.
Evaporative coolers were
the answer in low humidity
regions. The ultimate a
chievement in mans desire
to beat the heat came in the
form of an air conditioner.
This product of years of
research has enabled people
to live in comfort in places
that would put Hades off the
map (Phoenix, for example).
Purifiers, silencers and other
features make air condition
ing the most wanted item in
automobiles and home eS. Shop
ping in the stores is neasur-
able in the hottest afternoon
because of an elaborate air
conditioning system.
Most new homes are being
built with this wonderful
feature. 1t is no longer a rare
thing it is a necessity out
here where Satan was born.
There is one catch to this
article we don't have to
admit it but we like Phoe-
nix in the summer. No one
has figured out a way to air
condition the body from the
auto to the house. The man
who can solve that simple
problem will be hailed as the
greatest scientist since
da Vinci.
Say, l have an idea. Why
not build all the cities under
ground and refrigerate all
streets and passageways.
This would be the only way
because when you live on
topSide where the sun shines,
no one can beat the heat for
ever. Especially in Phoenix,

The overall ceiling Of $4,000
on what an individual can con-
tribute in a year was offered
by Senator Hennings, and would
be one of the most far-reaching
changes from existing law.
Gore Backs New Ceiling
Senator Gore, Democrat of
Tennessee, who sponsored the
amendment to place a ceiling
on the overall cost of presi-
dental campaigns, also sup
ported the new ceiling on
individual campaign contribu-
tionS.
Senator Gore pointed out
that a person, financially abe.
still could give his political
party $4,000 on December 81,
another $4,000 during the
year and a third $4,000 on the
following January /. Thus, he
said, an individual could still
contribute 100000 within a
period of IL months and two
days, and his wife could do the
same.
Senators Goldwater of Ari-
zona and Curtis of Nebraska,
both Republicans. were defeated
in efforts to apply the $4,000
limitation to groups like the
labor committees for political
education.

Elections Bill
Near Final
Senate Action
BY J. A. OTEARY
Star Stan Writer


The Senate was close to final
passage today of a clean elec-
tions bill to which a strong set
of teeth has been added by un-
expected adoption of four major
amendments.
The latest changes, made yes
terdav would:
/. Place a $4,000 limit on
the amount any individual could
contribute in a year to all po-
litical committees. national or
local. This would replace a law
which now puts a $4,000 limit
on the contribution to any
one committee. but permits a
wealthy donor to give the same
amount to any number Of State
or local committees.
2 Place a legal ceiling on the
amount that could be spent to
nominate or elect presidential
ticket. and for the first time
requires presidential candidates
to file reports on the cost of
their campaigns.
20-Cent YardStick
The bill uses a yardstick of
20 cents for each vote cast in
any of the last three preslden-
tial elections. to determine the
ceiling on what presidential
ticket could spend in an elec-
ton. To win the nomination,
a presidential aspirant could
not spend more than half that
amount. On the basis Of the
vote cast in 1886. this would
mean a ceiling this year of
$12.5 million in the election
campaign, and about $6.2 mil
lion in seeking nomination.

Secretary of Agriculture Ben

the country will need twice as
much food as it consumes to-
day, the agricultural economy

food requirements both here

Maurice H. STAINS, director

tors in motion. The Presidents
proposals for the country are

Senator Byrd, Democrat of

that there is a limit beyond

cannot be taken. There are
already areas where taxation
