Puts Bite on Military

The residents Of Washing
tons environs are rightly
concerned over the proposal
by President Kennedy which
would take away almost half
of the Federal subsidy now
payed to public schools in
nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia because of the heavy
concentration Of Government
workers. In Arlington County
for example, the decrease for
fiscal 1862 would total over
100000. That's a lot of
books, buildings and school,
marms.
One logical answer in al
leviating a portion Of this
loss lies in repeal Of the Sol
diers and Sailors Relief Act
Of 1912, which imposes an
unfair tax burden on the
civilian populations of every
community in the Washing
ton area. Under this Federal
ruling, Arlington tax officials
estimate that approximately
10000 military families living
in Arlington are exempt from
both Virginia State income
and local personal property
taxes. Since $50 Of the per-
sonal property tax, at an
average levy Of $40 per fam
lily goes to county schools, the
deficit which could be made
up with the repeal of this in
equitable exemption, comes
to nearly half q million dol
lars yearly, or two thirds Of
the loss to be suffered If the
subsidy cut goes into effect.
In addition, the State Treas
ury would be enhanced in
the amount of close to one
million dollars annually If
these families paid q Virginia
income tax, thus theoretically
increasing the amount Of
money the State could pay
for local school support.
1t seems grossly unfair that
the civilian population Of
Arlington County, and those
in adjacent communities,
must support the school syS-
TEN, and scores Of other To-
cal tax sustained services.
which are equally utilized and
enjoyed by the close to one
fifth military population. In
Arlington County alone it ap-
pears that income and per-
sonal property tax collections
would show an increase Of up
to $50 If the Pentagon per-
sonnel paid their share. To
be sure these people are a
vital and respected part Of
the national defense, and
contribute much in the way
Of good neighborliness. good
civic work, and purchasing
power on the community
economy. But 1t seems it's
about time they paid their
taxes here too.

he probable will have some

UnexpIored Bolivia Area Ar-Mopped
By THOMAS r. HENRY

BALBOA, Canal Zone
Taking the picture of more
than 1000 square miles of
the Republic Of Bolivia,
mostly mountainous territory
to a large degree unexplored,
has been started by the In
ter American Geodetic Survey.
The work will be carried
out by Air Force pilots, work.
ing in cooperation with the
engineers. The photographs
will be used in compiling
eventually a complete map Of
the Andean country.
The average altitude of the
high plain area scheduled to
be mapped is approximately
10000 feet. It stretches
roughly from the mountain
city Of Cochabamba south to
Potosi and covers much area
impenetrable on the ground.
The Photographic missions
are being flown by aircraft
of the 1370th photomapping
wing operating from an air
port near La Paz, the capital.
The crews have just served
in a similar mapping project
for some of the widest areas
in Colombia, where much of
the work has been completed.
Joint Project
The picture-taking is a
Joint project Of the Geodetic
Survey and the Institute
Geographical Militar of La
PaZ. Literally thousands of
separate pictures will be
taken. These then will be
fitted together by the Ameri-
can and Bolivian engineers
to provide a complete COM
posite photograph Of the
countryside from which it
will be possible to construct
a map showing not only pre-
else locations of places but
elevations of various regions.
The completed map, Sur
vey officials say, will be pro-
vided both to Bolivia and the
United States, to be fitted
into a map covering most of
the South American contin-
ent. Maps of any sort are
especially needed for the An
dean area which has been so
difficult to penetrate in the
past.
Bolivian engineers now in
Panama are being briefed on
the techniques of map-mak-
ing being used and are ex-
pected later to carry largely
on their own, with some Spe-
cial equipment provided by
the Survey.
The map will be an extern
sion of work of the same sort

neighboring republic Of Peru

Warren Court

Isn't there something that
can be done about the
Warren Court?
Recently, the Earl Warren
Supreme Court, by a 6-3 deci-
sion, reversed the conviction
OF Maurice E. Travis by the
Colorado Federal courts.
Travis has been twice con-
victed Of having filed false
non Communist affidavits
with the National Labor Re-
lationS Board while an Off
cial Of the Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers Union. The
Supreme Court decision was
made on the legal technical
ity that since the NLRB's
head office is in Washington,
Travis should have been tried
there instead of in Colorado,
where he mailed his affidavits
to the NLRB.
This appears to be another
one Of those decisions in line
with Jencks VS.. U. S., Yates
VS.. U. S., Watkins VS.. U. S.
and Pennsylvania VS.. Nelson
to name only a few in
which the cause of the inter-
national Communist conspir-
acy has been advanced at the
expense Of the internal secur-
ity Of this Nation.
The Warren Court by its
decisions has made us more
vulnerable to Subversion and
infiltration by our sworn
enemies. When individuals
active in the conspiracy
against this country are free
to plot our destruction as a
free Nation and a free people,
it is time to do something
about 1t. Perhaps the first
step in answer to this is the
Impeachment Of Earl Warren.
See what a lot Of us mean
when We say the Warren
Court is one of the best
friends the U. s. Communist
Party ever had?

Of our nature"
The Union Survives,
President Lincoln began
his address with the words:
MY fellow citizens Of the
United States" President
Kennedy said simply: my
fellow citizens. He faced no
problem such as that which
faced Lincoln. The Union Is
here. 1t survived the Civil
War. 1t has been strength
ened in the fires of four wars
in which the United States
has been involved with for
eign opponents. It has been
strengthened over the years
by tremendous growth and
advancement of the people.
All within the frame Of the
Constitution and the laws
enacted by Congress, and by
the States themselves.
President Kennedy, In his
eloquent inaugural, called
upon the people to ASK not
what your country can do
for you-aSk what you can
do for your country" And he
added, addressing the citizens
Of the world: ASK not what
America will do for you, but
what together we can do for
the freedom Of man."
And President Kennedy
said: I'm the long history Of
the world, only a few genera
tions have been granted the
role Of defending freedom In
its hour Of maximum danger.
I do not shrink from this
reSponSibility-I welcome It.
I do not believe that any Of
us would exchange places
with any other people or any
other generation"
His call to Americans for
the defense Of freedom will
not be avoided or forgotten,
either.

And now, Of course, my

All you can do is applaud
the elegant defense. East's two

good idea to ruff with medium
sized trumps that have no
value to you In the hope of

If a player doubled me ex-
