WHAT HAPPENS
AFTER DEATH?

In a few score years, all
who read these lines
will have vanished from
the face Of the earth.
Every day, almost a
hundred thousand hu-
man beings finish their
earthly span and pass -
off into the vast beyond. .t:>
That our turn will come MGS
we all know, when and I(
where and how we can
not be sure.
No merely human being
ever has been able to look
into eternity and tell us
what it is like. No scientific
knowledge or scientific in
strumentS can pierce the
curtain that divides this
world from that into which
all of us must eventually
journey.
All we know about Gods
eternal plans for us all
we know about what lies
beyond the grave comes
from the God Who made us
and to the extent He has
seen fit to reveal il to us.
But we can face eternity
without fear. For we do
have a definite answer to
the mystery of death. With
the facts God has put at our
disposal through the in
spired books of the Old and
the New TeStaments. the
Catholic Church always has
given, and gives today, a
definite answer to the ire
mendously important ques-
tions raised by the fact of
death.
Mans life in this world,
the Church tells us, is a pre-
paration for the world to
come a teSting-time
which ends with our death.
What happens after that
depends on whether death
finds US loyal to God, or
opposed to Him and the
way He expects us to live.
". 1t is appointed unto
men once to die and after
this the judgment" Heb.
IX:20.
Christ gave us (Matt. XIV
a description Of Gods judg-
ment which leaves no room
for doubt that our worthi-
ness of everlasting reward
will be judged solely accord
ing to the way we have lived
our lives on this earth.

BY the Associated Press

Raymond j. Pollock said to-
day he has resigned as head of
the Agriculture Department
grain storage division but that
a Senate committee investiga-
ton of grain storage costs had
nothing to do with it at ALL"
Mr.. Pollock, a former Iowa
grain warehouse dealer, said
his resignation was submitted
yesterday to Secretary of Agri-
culture Benson for "a number
of personal reasons" He de-
clined to elaborate.
Senator SyminGton democrat
of Missouri, aspirant for the
Democratic presidential nomi-
nation and head of the investi-
eating committee. said costs
of storing grain purchased un-
der the farm price support pro-
gram were 81 million a day.
He said profits of grain eleva-
tor operators ranged as high as
$50 per cent in some instances.
Senator Syinineton also as
serted that costs OF administer
ing the price support program
"have risen more than 1000
per cent" under the Eisenhower
administration.
A reduction of about 19 per

HOT SPRINGS. Va, May IA
(AP).-Vice President Nixon
said today Congress should be
able to consider tax reform In
1861 if the Government shows
a large surplus and is meeting
its national security respon-
sibilities.
Mr.. Nixon told reporters any
tax legislation should be shaped
to stimulate investment. reduce
some excise rates. and cut high
er-bracket income taxes.
The Vice President last night
delivered an of the = RECORD
speech to the Commerce De-
partment's Business Advisory
Council, holding its spring
meeting here. Today he met re-
porters.
/. Mr.. Nixon said he does not
at any time in the presidential
campaign intend to promise
tax reduction in view of inter-
national uncertainties.
And definitely, he said, Con-
greSS should not consider tax
relief or tax reform this year
when, Mr.. Nixon said, decisions
could be swayed by political
considerations.
He was asked directly
whether tax reduction would
be possible a year hence if the
Government runs another sur
plus comparable to the $4 bill
lion surplus in prospect for the
year starting July l.
Mr.. Nixon, who could be
President next year, replied:

Tax Reform Possible
In 1861 Nixon Says

IF we had met our respon-
sibilities for national security
adequately, and had a suDstan-
tial surplus of that magnitude
a new Congress should be able
to consider in a temperate aid
responsible way a tax lelolln
measure.
The Vice President said MS
own program has not ben 49,
tied but I've been doing solne
thinking in this area"
He noted that the steep ratl S
in higher income brackets have
discouraged saving and invest
ment and contributed to this
expense account economy"
Such rates are not designed
to get the most out of the econ
omy, he explained, and should
be adjusted in the effort to
achieve a tax structure tnat
would slim ulate economic
growth. More liberal deprecia-
ton rules for business also
would encourage investment
and expansion. he added,
Asked whether current levels
of unemployment might hurt
his chances of election to the
presidency in November Mr.
Nixon replied firmly:
mo, not at this level"
The Government reported
earlier this week that unem-
ployment, after rising above
4 million in March, dropped to
3,660.000 in April.
The administration hopes and
expects that the economy will
continue moving forward this
year and that unemployment
will be reduced, Mr.. Nixon said
Moreover, he added, experience
has indicated that unless un-
employment moves over AZ
million it does not become a
significant issue in the minds
of great many people"
Joblessness of that magni-
tude, Mr.. Nixon said, would
affect the voting in depressed
areas. He mentioned Western
Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and parts of Kentucky as re-
gions in which chronic unem-
ployment has had political re-
percussions.
Mr.. Nixon said some econo-
mists have been quite bearish'
about the ability of the econ
omy to absorb the growing
numbers of new workers enter
ing the labor force, but he
added:
II tend to be optimistic that
economic growth will continue
to absorb new workers and re-
duce the general level of unem-
ployment."
