Christmas Phone Traffic Expected To Set Record

The Air Forces 1929 Communi- cations Group (ACS) which oper- ates the Alaska communication system, announced today that they expect a record volume of tele- phone. calls during the coming holi. day period.
 Additional stateside circuits will be activated for the period in or der to handle the abnormally heavy traffic load.
 To speed service, the Air Force suggests that persons planning to make long distance calls during this period secure in advance the telephone numbers to be called. When exchange of telephone num- bers by personal correspondence IS not possible, the Air Force will secure in advance the requested telephone number with no charge to the customer. This service is available by contacting the long distance operator and asking for the telephone number of the per son to be called
 The Air Force called attention to the fact that reduced rates will be in effect from 6 pm. Dec. 24 until 4:3O am. Dec 26 and from 6 pm. Dec. 31 until 4:3O am. Jan. 2. 1884.

(From The Daily Oklahoman)

II is rather a refreshing thing in Am
erican politics that while some parti-
san tempers may rise, publicists Of the
two parties shoot at each other with hui
morous barbs, in contrast to some
election campaigns in more volatile
countries where the firing is done with
live ammunition.
A mailing by the Republican National
Finance Committee is a case in point.
A leaflet is headed: "Please send $40
to the Kennedy retirement fund" Three
rockers are shown for illustration. The
larger one is marked ''His," the mid
die sized on FHBobby's" and a small
one ~''Teddy's." Sitting on it is a Teddy
bear.
Text accompanying the illustrations
says: ''The' rocker, we feel, is. an APP
propriate symbol for u fund drive
because family rockers, az you know,
have a habit of getting passed

Uncommon Colds

The season for colds will soon
be here. Thum thay it it'll allweady

At any rate, the subject Of the
cold is here and likely to remain
for half a dozen months. So it is
interesting and timely to report on
some recent news about the cold
- common or otherwise. 1t seems
that there are about so different
kinds Of colds, not just one, and
each of the so is caused by a diff
ferent virus. (Ah, there is some
substance after all to the observa-
ton of every victim that his cold
is very uncommonD
Along with this news that there
are so varieties of colds, is word
that scientists have developed a
new vaccine known as ECHO-28,
which is claimed to be effective in
treating colds among adults. Some
rate it as highly effective in 70

per cent of cases.
We suppose one out of four be-
ing helped by this medication is
pretty good. And if four out Of five
doctors can agree that it will work
in one out of four cases then it is,
indeed, amazing. So much, posi-
bly,, that four out Of five doctors
will use it whenever they come
down with a cold. Doctors, too,
come down with colds.
However, we believe further
tests will be necessary to establish
that something to cure the COM
mon cold has finally arrived. Sci
entists have been working on it so
long that it doesn't seem likely a
one out of four remedy could ap-
pear without advance claims of the
traditional "breakthrough." Until
that time, treatments will prob
ably continue to be the familiar
one-bed rest and an aspirin diet.

or in public meetings, the recent
trend which would Danish any
religious exercises in the pub
lie schools can only, in the long
run, mean that opportunities
will be missed to teach public
school students the foundations
Of morality and good behavior.
Chief Justice Warren, in his
comment on the assassination
of President Kennedy, declared
it was "a result of the hatred

in conclusion, may God protect
our nation in this hour of cris-
is"
But while people generally
will wish to see haired and bigo-
try eliminated from communi-
ty life, they will also recognize
that such a Uptopian mood will
not come about unless S school
children, as well as grown-upS,
are more deeply imbued with
the Golden Rule mentioned in
the Bible and the spirit Of con-
ciliation which is so necessary

Immediately after Treasury
Secretary Dillon took office,
his staff began pushing for tax
concessions to businessmen to
encourage them to increase their
spending on new plants and
equipment. In 1862 businessmen
did get tax concessions from the
Treasury and Congress amount
ing to over SIS billion a year,
and as one result business
spending on plants is at a rec
ord now and heading higher.
When Kennedy was killed, it
could have been a signal for
businessmen to d~owngrade their
spending plans despite the tax
incentives and the bright sales
profits outlook. But so far there
have been no signs Of this
whatsoever and 1964's programs
well may be revised upward.

On Thanksgiving Day, PreSi-
dent Johnson spoke over radio
and television to the American
people. He referred to Mr.. Ken
nedy'S reclamation and said:
Tonight, on this ThankSgiv-
ing, / come before you to ask
your help, to ask your strength,
to ask your prayers that God
may guard this republic a n d
guide my every labor.
"On this Thanksgiving Day,
as we gather in the warmth of
our families, in the mutual love
and respect which we have for
one another, and as we bow our
heads in submission to divine
providence, let us also thank
God for the years that he gave
us inspiration through his ser
want, John F. Kennedy.
Let us today renew our ded-
ication to the ideals that are
American. Let us pray for His
divine wisdom in banishing from
our land any injustice or intoler-
ance or oppression to any of our
fellow Americans, whatever
their opinion, whatever the col
or of their skins - for God
made all of us, not some of us,
in His image. All Of US, not
just some Of us, are His chill
dren."
These numerous references to
prayer and to the Diety, COM
ing as they do from the highest
official in the government Of
the United States, are bound to
be regarded by many people as
proof that to mention God or to
refer in public speeches to pray
er is not to be construed as
IAN establishment Of religion
in the sense in which the Con-
Stitution uses the phrase. In
deed, there are many citizens
who feel that while prayers Of

Mediocre Outlook

and Means Committee that the adj
ministration's program may re-
quire a bigger increase in the So
cial Security taxes than the adj
ministration is asking. He drew
from the supporters of the legis-
lation such an admission. One OF
them, Labor Secretary William W.
Writ, said the program should be
enacted even if it means doubling
the amount of the proposed tax In
crease.
Since the program would pro-
vide medical treatment for people
over IS whether they r rich, in
sured or otherwise able to pay, it
would naturally be more expensive
than a less ambitious plan based
on actual need or the ability Of
the elderly to meet a part OF the
expense. Accordingly, those who
would foot the bill-employeS and
employers - should take a long
look at the tax.
The administration proposal -
which Secretary Writ said might
have to be doubled-calls for an
increase in the Social Security tax
of OBS per cent on employe and
employer. Furthermore, this would
apply to the first $500 of wages
instead of the current $4,000.
Employees covered by Social Sc
curity are now paying a tax of
three and five-eighths per cent on
their first $4,000 of income with
this amount matched by their en-
ployers. Laws already on the books
have higher taxes scheduled into
1868 when employees and employ
ers each will be paying four and
five-eighths per cent on the first
$4,000.
Thus, enactment of the pro-
posed program, plus the tax in
creases already scheduled to fl
nance existing benefits, would
bring the overall tax rate by 1868
to four and seven-eighths per cent
on employees and employers, based
on the first $500. The combined
employe-employer payroll deduc-
ton would total nine and three
fourths per cent. If, as Secretary
Writ comedies is possible, the
mediocre tax should be doubled,
the combined payroll levy would
reach ten and one-fourth per cent.
This would upset another table
of statistics, too. Where a young
man now entering the labor force
may expect to pay $1,6O for each
81 Of benefits he ultimately re-
ceives, the difference between
what goes in and comes out would
be proportionately greater.

On Gambling

A few days ago | read a letter
written by one Of your readers
appearing in your good paper.
The writer seemed very much
disturbed because his boy was
a member Of a youth organiza-
ton who sponsored games of
chance to raise money for the
benefit of said organization. He
called it outright gambling.
All business ventures is a
gamble, including life. "A sure
way to raise money for any
worthy cause is to sponsor
games Of chance, for people are
looking for something for moth
ing.
Some Of our churches have
bingo games, big jackpots for
the winners and they don't con-
slider it gambling. Still they
frown on crap and card games
in our pool rooms and casinos or
night spots.
We have in our city and coun-
ty so-called private clubs for
their membership = still they
will admit anyone who wants
to drink alcoholic beverages and
play the slot machines.
They are immune from taxes
as they are called non-profit or
CARNATIONS but they charge as
much for their whiskey and
beer as other whiskey mer-
chants who pay licenses and
taxes.
The IS dollar question is how
to stamp out gambling and
games of chance. "It can't be
done" because the people wants
it and | say let 'em have it
"whole hog or more" Legalize it
and put a big license on all gam
bling establishments and our
good citizens won't have to 60 to
other cities to gamble. They can
keep their money at home which
will help our city and county.
Take Miss. out Of the so-called
prohibition class and put it or
a legal basis. Then liquor will
be cheaper and our bootleggers
can buy legal licenses. Our
school teachers and old people
will be benefited by so doing
Think it over.

main geared to a bright sales
profits outlook.
AS far back as 1861, Ken
nedy began urging across-the-
board tax cuts for individuals
and corporations to spur our e.
conomy's growth, and the tax
bill now coming out of the Senate
Finance Committee is the re-
suit.
When President johnson took
over, it could have been a sig.
nal for consumers to pull back
on buying while they waited to
see whether johnson would
fight as hard for the tax cuts
as Kennedy did. But in his
first address, johnson m
his strong plea for tax reduc-
ton, and the bill may be
passed earlier than would have
been the case under Kennedy.
Consumers are continuing to
spend freely and the Stimulat-
ing impact Of tax cuts is sti1
tc come.
Our economy was in its 33rd
month of advance under Ken.
nedy in Nov, and it's now in
its 34th month Of advance UNI
der Johnson in December. Prof.
its and paychecks were hitting
new peaks under Kennedy, will
hit new peaks under Johnson.
None of this belittles john
sons Sunarbly reasSuring per.
Torrance since he took office,
nor does it exaggerate Ken
nedy'S achievements before his
death.
But the kew fact is that the
assassination might have had a
devastating effect had it occur
red before the Kennedy admins
tration had done so much maj
or work : and the action Of the
U. S. dollar is as dramatic
an illustration of this point as
could be found.
The instant the story broke,
the worlds central bankers put
the weapons in the dollar de-
tense arsenal to work. Before
spectators could even begin to
dump dollars, the New York
Federal Reserve Bank was in
the market offering foreign cur
rencieS in exchange for dollars.
This tale of the dollar-raid-
which-wasn't might have had a
far different ending had the as
sassination taken place Is
months ago. But Johnson has
taken over at a time when the
dollars defenSeS are strong, tax
incentives are helping business
and tax cuts are on the way.
The timing is Johnson'S luck .
and the luck Of all Of us too.
