Needs Little Sleep
Explaining how he seems to
thrive on work. Mr.. johnson
said: II don't require a lot of
sleep" He added that four or
five hours sleep a night is good
enough for him, and he wakes
up at 6 or $50 am regardless
Of how late he gets to bed.
THE only thing 1 have to
watch is my weight" he went
on. And it's in good shape"
He said he weighs 205 pounds
and feels that is about right for
his 6-foot, 3-inch frame. He
helps keep his weight down by
swimming in the White House
pool before lunch and dinner
the rule being: UNLESS on go
six layps, you can't eat"
Visits Gov. COnnally
The President and Mrs.
johnson. with their younger
daughter, Lucy, flew yesterday
from Washington to Philadel-
phia, where they attended the
funeral of Representative Will
liam j. Green, Democrat Of
Pennsylvania, and then on to
Bergstrom Air Force Base.
Police officials in Philadel-
phia said they furnished the
largest security force they ever
for a visiting digni-
tary.
From Bergstrom, they flew
by helicopter into nearby Aus
tin, landing on the municipal
auditorium parking lot. They
went in a motorcade from
there to the Governors man
sion for a 32-minute visit with
Gov. John B. Connally.
Gov. Connally, mis- right arm
still in a sling from one Of the
bullets fired by President Ken
nedy's assassin in Dallas last
month, used his left hand to
shake hands with the President
and members of the Texas con-
greSsional delegation who &C.
companied him from Washing
ton.
Arranges Deer Hunt
While drinking coffee in the
Connally dining room and
chatting about old times in
Texas, Mr.. johnson had an
aide telephone Mr.. Moursund
and arrange a "quickie" Christ
mas Eve deer hunt.
AS the Johnson motorcade
pulled out of the mansion
driveway the President waved
for his driver to stop in the
middle of the street. He got
out, walked straight into a
crowd of several hundred per-
sons and began shaking hands.
1t was the second time in the
day he had broken the tight
security ring which has sur
rounded him since the assassi-
nation of President Kennedy
At Bergstrom Air Force Base
earlier he had walked to a
fence to shake hands with
spectators.
From the Austin parking lot
the Presidents helicopter flew
directly to a landing strip on
the Moursund ranch-Some Is
miles from his own LBJ Ranch
AS he started to drive away
with Mr.. Moursund, the Presi-
dent babe farewell to the four

climbed out of another helicop-

Christmas-and then had Sec

should be no gross receipts tax
on sales to the government. A
tax on sales to a taxing body is
unheard Of elsewhere, at least
under our form Of government.
It is not sensible for the gov
eminent to expect goods to be
offered to it with a gross re-
ceipts tax included in the
price. For the government
then pays the gross receipts
tax to the seller and then ex-
poets to collect it back thru
paperWork and tax forms.
How much more sensible to
allow the bid to come in with
out the tax built in, and take
advantage of the lower price
at the time Of award. The net
effect is the same but the
paper work and costs Of co1lec-
ton are eliminated.
This aspect of the law actu-
ally gives an advantage to one
who does not pay taxes in the
Virgin Islands. Anyone off the
islands can sell to the govern
ment 2% cheaper than any
local taxpayer. This is mani
testify unjust to local business.
While on this topic, the
Chamber would like to repeat
a point that has been previ-
ously made the legislature
should make mandatory the
award Of bids to local firms
when the bid is within a small
percentage of an off-island bid.
This principle is recognized
in the Federal Governments
bidding procedures. 1t should
be remembered that our local
government gets funds from
Washington to help our local
economy. Funds spent outside
the islands by, the local gov
eminent completely evade the
basic reason for the award Of
funds to us. OF course if the
spread in bid prices between
local and off-island bidders is
great, then the government is
free to use prudent judgment.
But on close bids the practice
Of buying offrisland defeats
Congress reasons for sending
us the monies. Also because
the gross receipts tax is.a hid
den tax, it interferes with
local sales to tax exempt or
carnations. Local sellers

pie to buy vehicles that can
be used as tools and for work
than spending the same funds
for pleasure cars. It simply
is not proper to tax utility
vehicles as Injuries.

tax should be held to not more
than 80: At this rate it is
unreasonably high, YOU have

notwithstanding is anoth-
er. Therefore we believe that
construction work should be
exempt from this additional
tax also. Building a house here
IS expensive enough. Adding
another 2% to it is unjust.
Nearly all builders buy a great
deal Of their supplies locally
50 that this application re-
quires two payments Of this
tax. Then too, since roughly
half the cost Of building is

comes an additional payroll
tax. On a $4,000 house tax is
$500. That would go a long
way in furnishings, or perhaps

Al cistern capacity. In the con-
tractors case the gross re-
ceipts tax IS not hidden but
clearly itemized as an expense
and paid for BY the house
buyer. Our administration
states that housing is our nu-
mber one problem; certainly
our tax program should not
mkae the problem more diff
ficult.
The gross receipts tax is UNI
fair in other situations and
should be modified. There

The reason for allowing tax
exemptions is to improve our
local economy. This applica-
ton Of the tax makes it cheap
er for a tax exempt business
to do business outside the local
community. This is a perver-
sion Of the philosophy award
ing the exemption. Gross re-
ceipts tax should not apply to
sales to tax exempt organiza-
tons.

HAYES SUGGESTS TAX CHANGES

The ST. Croix Chamber of
Commeree wishes to suggest
that 4 closer iaison between
the business community and

couraged. We feel this would
be beneficial to all. Most bust

overlap in very many areas
We are anxious to work with

ais. We think we may be able

hand you may be able to tell
US why good business reasons

if we work together it will be

tremely useful, but less formal

son for this type Of vehicle to
be in q luxury tax bracket.
The tax on passenger cars can
remain unchanged but vehi-
cles that are basically built
for work not pleasure should
be taxed at a lower rate. This
is common elsewhere. Puerto.

pleasure cars and none at all

is true in Great Britain and

Ground was broken for the plant
on March 10, 1861.
Utah's Navajo Mine, located
adjacent to the power plant, is On
$4,000 acres of leased Tribal land,
and features one of the worlds
largest draglines for removal of
earth over coal at the mine.
The power plant has a capacity
of $4,000 kilowatts with two / Is;
600 kiloWatt turbine generators.
Public Service recently announced
construction of a third unit with
capacity Of 225,OOO kilowatts,
bringing the plant output to SIS 600

the largest coal burning gener atinq
station in the West. The third unit
is slated for completion inthe sum

taking-or hair-raising-pi OF
what lies ahead was presented here
recently ITO Chicago-area conference
of the American Association for the
United Nations and go co-sponsorlng
organizations including the Co-opera-
tive League. The speaker was Robert
Theobald, a UN consulting economist.
The United States must regain full
employment rapidly, he said, because
the present demand of the civil rights
movement for good education, nous
ing. and recreation facilities as we'll
as adequate incomes cannot be salts
fled until full employment is re-
stored"
But full employment is only for
the short-run. In the longer run, he
said. there cannot be full employ
ment, cannot be any jobs at all in
the wage system for a great many
people, because of autonatlon. "A
large proportion of the children born
in the fifties and sixties will never
hold jobs involving the kind of work
with which we are familiar today"
Job-holding thus no longer can be
the basis for persons claim upon
needed resources such as food and
clothing.
The only alternative basis pos
sibIe, the economist said, is Ito
provide every individual with an
absolute constitutional right to an
income adequate to allow him to
live with dignity
This great change will give people
opportunity TO develop their indi-
vidual interests and talents as never
before, Tlheobald said. "The nine

life as a mere division between toll
and respite from toll should be al

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF
FEDERAL EQUALIZATION

"Here again is recognition that
each level of government has re-
sponsibility for public programs in
the public interest. The tax dollars
of citizens of all SO states built this
hospital at a cost of almost 81 mil
lion, and finance its operation, just
as they help us build community hos
pitfalls, highways and multipurpose re-
source development projects. just as
they help us clean up our lakes and
streams.
Here again is recognition that
through our federal government
which like our city, county and
state governments is an extension
of us we can reach out for tax
resources otherwise outside our
range. Only through our federal
tax system can we recover the
excise taxes, paid directly by man
ufacturers in other states and
passed on to us as hidden taxes
as we buy automobiles and tires,
