many hours of study. Then
comes the chaperoning for

Tax Reform Bill

Utility consumers have
millions of their dollars at
stake in the tax reform" bill
being considered by the Sen
ate. Over Kennedy admins
tration objections, the House
and the Senate Finance Com
mittees have already ap-
proved a 8 per cent invest
ment tax credit" for regu-
lated public utilities.
II enacted into law, this
reform" will be a gigantic
windfall for private utilities.
Among the utilities which
will benefit from this need
less gift are the private pow
er companies - those same
companies which assure us
regularly in their extensive
and expensive national ads
that they ARE able and ready
to supply all the electricity
the Nation can conceivably
need - without tapping the
taxpayer"
To back up their conten-
ton, the power companies
already boast through their
national lobbying groups that
they will spend $3.50 billion
on new facilities between
now and 1880 to keep pace
with increasing demands for
electricity. A 3 per cent Gin
vestment tax credit" on that
amount will thus be q sub
sidy of up to $50 billion for
power companies between
now and 1880 - for doing
what comes naturally"
AS Secretary Of the Treas
ury Dillon told the Senate
Finance Committee early this
year, "The Presidents orig
inal proposal recommended
that the credit not apply to
regulated public utility cor
porations. 1t was based on
the fact that public utilities
are regulated monopolies with
substantial assurance of a
given rate of return on in
vestment after tax. Moreover,
investment in public utility
facilities Is based largely on
demand, governed by public
requirements"
Private utilities obviously
need no incentive to expand.
They must, under the terms
Of their monopoly franchises.
To pretend otherwise is to
deceive the public.

Executive Director, Electric
Consum ers Information
Committee.

for a good teacher. There
should be no 10-month-a-
year program for a good
teacher. Suppose you saw
your doctor packaging gro
ceries at the local store every
week end; or your attorney
pumping gas at the local
service station; or your
minister painting houses in
his off-duty hours. This is
what many teachers are
doing during the school year
on a part-time basis. During
the summer months, it be-
comes a full-time job. How
can teaching be considered a
recognized profession, and
how can others give the
proper respect to educators
when this deplorable situa-
ton exists? It is time to end
the era Of the part-time
educator. Let's not cry for
more time to do a better job,
and then literally waste"
our professional talent for
two whole months Of the year.
Surely, teachers need o vaca-
tion. Two weeks is enough
then back to work. Constant
ly striving to better educate
the youth Of this country is
a full-time job. 1t is time to
employ teachers on an annual
basis, pay them the salary
they so richly deserve, and
let them use their educational
background and professional
experience for the enrichment
Of the educational program.
Teacher talent Is too valuable
q resource to be wasted as it
now is. Teacher.

Facts on FederoIists

One letter in your fine pa
per will not suffice to give
any complete answer to Flor
ence Kings letter of August
%, but I would like to make
a start on it. / have been an
active member Of United
World Federalists for over 10
years and believe I know my
facts.
Miss King says she has
read UWF's literature and
that 1t is "replete with the
usual warhorses of the peace
makers, such as 'feverish
arms race and urgent
tasks" The first phrase I
find nowhere in UWF's
printed literature. The sec
ond, in the singular, is con-
tanned within the statement
Of purpose: "The most urgent
task Of the nuclear age is to
make the United Nations ca
pable Of maintaining peace
with justice under law" AS
for her "orgies Of italics"
they Just don't exist except
for one piece where they pro-
vide a brief summary of the
full text.
She does get one point
right. UWF does advocate
putting blame for violations
Of armament controls on in
dividuals, either heads Of state
or private citizens, rather
than on nations" This is ex-
actly the principle that our
country tried to establish at
the Nuremberg War Crimes
Trials. UWF proposes: "Es-
tahlishing a system for en-
forcement Of U. N. laws over
all nations and individuals,
through inspectors, civilian
police, courts, and an ade-
quate international peace
force" This may not be easy,
but I know Of no student Of
peace who would quarrel with
the objective.
Finally, Miss King asks,
aside from annoying Con-
gress and wasting paper,
what do they do?" I gather
that Miss King is against
citizens annoying Congress"
or expressing positive ideas
on paper on how to achieve
world peace under law. UWF
believes these are a duty
under our representative form
Of government. Federalists
have written thousands of
letters supporting a loan to
the u. N. We wrote thou
sands last year supporting
the bill which Congress
passed overwhelmingly to
create the United States
Arms Control and Disarma-
ment Agency. UWF has over
100 chapters holding public
meetings, offering speakers
to community groups. ap-
pearing on radio and TV, and
talking to members of Con-
gress urging that the United
Nations be given legal teeth
with which to enforce dis
armament, prevent agrees
sion, and settle problems by
peaceful means through
courts Of law. If Miss King

18th Amendment

The interesting letter from
Prof. Flournoy mentioned
among other things the man
ner in which the present Su-
preme Court has used the
"due process" clause Of the
Fourteenth Amendment to
come up with devious rulings
that suit the purposes of the
present Court, but which
were never dreamed Of by
previous Supreme Courts. In
cidentally, this due process
clause is nothing but q repe-
tition Of the same wording
appearing near the end Of
the Fifth Amendment.
The manner in which the
present Supreme Court has
used this due process clause
to nullify State laws, and
even to practically repeal Ar
ticle x Of the Bill of Rights
"a power which only Con-
gress has under the Consti-
tution), just does not make
sense. Just how can a State
deprive any citizen Of any
thing without due process Of
law? If the majority of a
State Legislature has enacted
a law, and If the State Su-
preme Court has affirmed its
legality, then surely "due
process Of law" has been car
ried out to the letter.
AS to the Fourteenth
Amendment itself, there is
plenty Of well-grounded sus-
picion that it is itself illegal
because 1t got into the Con-
stitution by force Of Federal
armed might, plus blackmail
Of 10 defeated Southern
States. These States were told
by the Federal Government,
through an act Of Congress
which had been passed over
President Johnson's veto, that
the only way they would ever
get Federal troops out of their
occupied territories was by
ratifying the Fourteenth
Amendment. If they refused
to ratify, they were to be
treated as conquered prov
inces Of a foreign nationl
President johnson vetoed
nearly all Of the vengeance
oriented Reconstruction Acts
which were engineered main
ly by Representative Thad-
deus Stevens, a tuberculous
radical from Pennsylvania
whose principal aim appeared
to be to set up Negro suprem-
acy in the beaten South. Be-
cause of his opposition to
acts Of vengeance, the Presi-
dent was impeached by the
House of Representatives, but
the Senate refused to convict
him by just one vote. That,
undeniably, was the most
reprehensible chapter in
American history, and it
should be plain to all fair
minded people that the Four
teenth Amendment is q Co
lossal fraud on the American
people because it got into the
Constitution through armed
force and blackmail.

THE WORLD
No Winner in SobIen Affair
By CROSBY S. MOVES
FoFsisn Correspondent Of The Star

PARISH Is perhaps Just
as well that the unpleasant
and slightly ludicrous affair
of DR.. Robert A. Soblen
seems to be coming to an end.
Though the fugitive former
spy is not exactly the kind
Of character likely to inspire
enormous sympathy, neither
has the long drawn-out inter-
national haSSle over his re-
turn to the United States
reflected much credit on any
one concerned. In fact, at
times 1t has been hard to
see whose interests were be-
ing served by all the legal
tugging and hauling.
Certainly Israel's David
Ben Gurion, as the first man
to deal with the fugitive, had
doubts about where his own
interests lay.
Soblen turned up In Israel
last June after jumping
100000 bail in New York.
Convicted Of wartime espio-
mage for Russia, the 61-year-
old psychiatrist was to have
started serving q life SEN
tence q few days later.
Travelling on his dead
brothers passport, Soblen
was quickly arrested. His plea
for political asylum was re-
jected. And in q short time
the fugitive was bundled
aboard an El Al airliner
bound for the United States
via London in the company
Of Chief United States Mar
shall James McShane.
There. no doubt, the case
would have ended except for
two unforeseen developments.
SobIen Stabs Self
The first was that Soblen
shortly before landing in
London managed to stab
himself in the stomach with
q steak knife while Mr.. Nc
Shane was out Of the room.
AS he explained later he had
no intention Of committing
suicide-only of wounding
himself badly enough to be
taken off the plane and put
into q hospital.
The second development
was that in Israel after
Soblen's departure the politi-
cal roof blew off. Mr.. Ben
Gurion suddenly found him.

who pointed out that Soblen
had been illegally deported.
