Kennedy Raises Tariffs
On Bicycles SO Pct.

1855, the rate for large
wheeled, lightweight bikes went
from the previous low level Of
SIPS to $1.875; the rate for
large wheeled heavyweight
bikes went from $2.50 to $3.75;
the rate for medium sized
bikes, from 50 to So, and for
small-wheeled bikes from SIPS
to $1.S75.
In establishing those 1856
rates Mr.. Eisenhower modified
q Tariff Commission recon-
mendation and his right to do
so was then challenged in court.
The court ruled that he could
accept or reject, but could not
change the Tariff Commission
recommendation and therefore
his action was ruled out Of Or
der. AS a result, the admins
tration took the position that
all the higher bike rates were
knocked out. Thereupon the
United States negotiated with
the chief suppliers from abroad
to agree on rates the same as
those which had been invali-
dated and it was those agreed
rates which we're proclaimed by
Mr.. Kennedy yesterday.

Mr.. Scheiber said water
flows through the transmission

proper care for emotionally
disturbed children would be
costly.
THE operating costs for such
care are astronomical" said
Miss Rita e. Beuchert, execu-
tive secretary Of the Health

But Juvenile Judge Albert
D. Noyes observed that the
county "can only obtain the
services 1t is willing to pay
for" He maintained that an
emotionally disturbed child is
just as entitled to special care
as is the physically handicap
ped youngSter.
Parents Also Involved
One speaker, william e.
Roger, county welfare director
