Virginia Tobacco
Seized in Manila

MANILA, Jan. 6 (AP).-Cus-
toms authorities have seized an
estimated $4,000 worth of Vir-
glnia leaf tobacco imported
from the United States.
Most of the tobacco arrived
at Manila before the admins
tration of President Diosdadc
Macapagal took over.
But the seizure was ordered
yesterday on the ground that
the importation was illegal
despite the fact it was author
lied by former President Carlos
P. Garcia. The tobacco was in
tended for mixing with locally
grown leaf for cigarettes.

BABSON DISCUSSES PLANNING FOR 1862

BABSON PARK, Mass, January
5-Few people seem to realize
that it is during a time of pros
perity that plans should be made
for possible reverses later on.
Even though recovery is rolling
along, stop and ask yourself a few
questions. If you lost your job
tomorrow, how much would you
and your family suffer financial
ly? Are you showed under by in
stallment payments? Would a
serious illness leave you strap
ped? Have you borrowed on your
life insurance?
ARE YOU OVER-ExTENDED?

a man about thirty years old, was
recently laid off by small COM
pany for which he had worked
faithfully for eight years He had
been making 500 a week before
taxes, but his take-home pay af-
ter federal levies was only $500,
not including state taxes. And his
monthly commitments are: $40 for
mortgage, interest, and real es-
tate tax $63 on a 1860 car; $21
OH a food-freezer; $12.50 on wall

money to spend than he had ever
had before, he was tempted out
over his depth. In 1916, families
were spending only 45%o OF their
incomes for the essentials OF nv
ing, with some $3.50 left over for
luxuries. By 1854, fixed charges
were taking $3.50 of income, with
only 47@o left for discretionary

Letter To The Editor

To The Friends and Supporters
of the Milford Lions Club in the
| Milford Area:
AS many of you know, one of the
major projects which supports our
welfare and charity work in this
area is the compilation and publi-
cation of the small telephone di-
rectory which is distributed to
each telephone subscriber annu-
ally. From the advertisements
and special listings which appear
on the covers and pages of that
directory we derive great pOr-
ton Of the funds which are used
to sustain the work that we are
continually trying to do for those
in Milford and surrounding COM
tunate as others in the commun-
ity.- Naturally, in soliciting sup
port from the persons and firms
who make the directory possible
each year we are, in effect, ask
ing that you support our subscrib-
ers
Recently many of you received
through the mail a small plastic
cover which obviously was to be
used as protective covering for
the Lions telephone directory.
That cover was sold and distribut-
ed by a firm from Connecticut
without the knowledge or permis-
sion of the Milford Lions Club.
The sale and distribution thereof
constitutes serious breach of
business ethics.
However, let us make it abund-
antly clear that we do not re-
fleet, nor do we intend to reflect
in any way, any doubt with re-
spect to the integrity of those
persons and firms who may hav"
purchased advertising space on
the plastic cover. Our investiga-
ton shows that those advertisers
purchased that space without the
knowledge that the use of the
cover might obliterate some adver-
tising purchased from the Milford
Lions Club.
The Board of Directors and
members of the Milford Lions
Club merely wish to take this op-
portunity to advise our friends
and supporters that we are in no
way responsible for the sale or
distribution of the plastic cover
and we deeply appreciate your
continuing support of the club
and its work

INCOME TAX RETURNS

The Internal Revenue Service has an
nounced timetable for installing a nation
al network of electronic tax-checking ma
chinery. The eectronic system will be in
troduced into the Atlanta region first. Bus
mess type returns filed in number of
southern states will be checked by this cleo
tronic equipment beginning on January l.,
1862. Individual returns will be handled af-
ter January 1, 1868.
One example of what the machine can
do is as follows: it will be able to compare
the interest or the dividends which a COM
pany claims that it paid to an individual
with the claims made by the individual in
his return. When the machine detects
something wrong on return it will pro-
duce taped instructions for Strengthening
out the return. These tapes will be sent
back to appropriate sub-headquarters where
the information will be put on punch cards
The punch cards will be used to activate
printing machines which write letter to
the taxpayer.
A question which occurs to us is this:
when taxpayer receives a letter and
doesn't understand it, who is going to be
able to explain to the taxpayer just what
the machine intended?

AID TO POLAND
An interesting wire service story ap-
peared in u. S. newspapers in mid-Decem-
Der. 1t was written by an enterprising re-
porter in Warsaw who had taken the time
to total u. S. aid to communist Poland in
recent years.
Now ponder the following information
carefully: Poland, communist country,
has received in the last five years total of
$4263OO,0O0 in u. S. loans and credits !!
This is almost half billion dollars-and
is more than some Of our allies have re-
ceived from us
4 The lead in the recent story from War
saw was that Washington had decided to
cut our aid program to Poland in half: A
new agreement, recently worked out be-
tween u. S. and Polish officials is expected
to allow Poland to buy some S5O,0OO,OOO
worth of u. S. surplus products, mostly
wheat to feed the Polish people, in the COM
ing year.
The decision should have been to give
Poland not one dime in aid. There is no
excuse for aid to any communist country
and the five-year aid program to Poland
which has cost the u. S. taxpayer about
half billion dollars proves that our money
doesn't change communist governments in
to democratic governments. Who could
have thought it might with Soviet troops
next door?
B Such programs in the State Department,
of aid to communist countries, are certain
to bring about greater and greater dissatis-
faction among the average American citl-
zen and are greater and greater diSrespect
and contempt for the department among
the American people,

PUNISHMENT OF THE RESERVES

The news from Washington now is that
the Pentagon wants to eliminate ten reserve
divisions and possibly others. These are not
National Guard units but the federal units
on which billions have been spent
1t seems the gripping has gotten under
the skin of the Pentagon, and punishment
is being dished out from the federal level.
If the beefs from the men called up were
all cry-baby squawks, from a lot of 'free
leaders" seeking some easy money-as Sen
ator Barry Godwater has charged-then
maybe curtailment of the reserve program
is on order.
But if the squawks were because of
poorly managed and organized Gallup, and
inadequate plans and senseless procedure
Gas seems at least part Of the cause) then
punishment of the reserve units by curtall-
ing their pay or dropping these units entire
ly (Which sewers all their pay) is not the
answer.
Are the American people now to be told
by Washington, after they have Shelled out
untold billions to build all these reserve CEN
ters and pay all these reservists monthly,
that the program is ineffective, that it is
no good?
Congress, now about to meet again,
would do we'll to look into the efficiency of
Defense Department procedure in the re-
cent Gallup. This would be more appropri-
ate than punitive hit-back action by the Pen
tagon, against reservists and reserve units
who have raised howl about illogical and
senseless procedures employed by the var
iOus services in the recent mobilization.
