to share their first abilities.
You must take time to listen
when they want to read to
you. They will continue to

You can guard against dis
appointment by providing in
tereSting, easy-to-read ma
terials. A rule of thumb-if
more than five errors are
made on one page. the book
probably Is too difficult.
A conference with the
teacher can provide you with
a list Of books appropriate to
your child's reading level. But
don't take home the class
room reading book, lest read
ing ahead spoil the child's
interest in the classroom
work.
The public library Is the
best source for easy-to-read
books. A trip to the library
every week Is not too often.
Let your child help in select
ing the books he wants to
read.
Set aside q short time daily
for reading. 1t isn't necessary
to sit and watch for the en-
tire period. but be sure to
listen If they ask you to, and
offer help II requested, If they
miss q word, read the whole

"Our combined social Sc
curity will bring US about
5000 a month";" they say.
Our plan would be to rent
our Denver house for 500 a
month and keep our savings
intact. We would buy a new
home in Southern California
for not more than $12,750.
We would hope to pay $3.50
down and get a mortgage on
1t that would cost not more
than $97 a month. We would
expect taxes to be not more
than $22 a month.
Before retirement arrives
we would save enough extra
money for the $3.50 down

conservative car. We would

Money Not the Problem
Can they have what they
think they want?
From the money stand
point, yes. Their savings
total Just over $25, 900 which,
at 4 per cent, will bring them
about $84 q month. The
house rent adds another 800
and social security 5000. for q
grand total Of 1894. They can
live well on 1t and buy their
new house.
But they should rent quar-
ters in California for at least
q year. Only then can they be
reasonably sure that the
home they buy is what they
will want for the long pull.
They might rent their old
home, as planned, then at the
end of a year-if Denver is
out Of their blood-se their
old home. And buy the new
one for cash. A mortgage at
65 is a lot of bother. and for
a couple with enough money
already, it seems pointless.
If they follow this sug-
gested plan they will have, q
year after retirement, a paid
for retirement home and an
income of $234 a month.
They will be in fine shape

good spot to do 1t.

NEW YORK. Dec. II CAP)-
An appellate court ruled today
that Gareth Martins. %. son
of acting State Supreme Court
Justice Joseph A. Martins,
won't have to stand trial on
vehicular homicide charges
growing out Of an accident in
which five persons were killed,
The appellate division Of the
State Supreme Court held that
to prosecute Mr.. Martins on
the charges would constitute
double jeopardy.
On July 81, three Bronx
Criminal Court judges. acquit-
ted Mr.. Martins on charges Of
reckless and drunken driving,
and leaving the scene of an
accident. A Bronx grand jury
later indicted him on the We
hiclar homicide charges.
Mr.. Martins attorney, Maui
rice Edelbaum, went before the
appellate division to contend
that if Mr.. Martins were tried
on the vehicular homicide
charges the State would have
to prove reckless driving on Mr..
Martins part because it is re-
quired under law in prosecuting
such charges. Thus Mr.. Mar
TINS would in effect be on trial
for a charge on which he al
ready had been acquitted.

Republican Senators have
urged President Johnson to is
sue an executive order forbid
ding the sale of tickets to Fed
eral career employees for politi-
cal Embarrassing events.
Only in this way will Gov
eminent civil servants be free
of the pressure to contribute to
such affairs and free of the
fear that not to contribute will
jeopardize their promotions or
even job tenure. the Republi-
cans declared.
The issue came up on the
Senate floor as a result of our
report in last Thursdays COL
umn that the Democratic Ma
tioral Committee was soliciting
Federal career employees to pur-
chase 500 tickets to a Demo-
cratic gala" to be held some
time next year. One of the let
tiers sent to the employees was
signed by Democratic National
Chairman John Bailey.
"Only One Answer"
Senator Miller, Republican of
Iowa, declared: There is only
one. answer to this. and that is
for the leader of the Democrat
ic Party, President Johnson, to
direct the National Democratic
Party to cease and desist from
such unethical pressures.
IT will not do to have some
Government officials say that
there is no requirement to pur-
chase these tickets, and that
failure to purchase will have
no effect on an employees fu-
ture, promotions. The damage
has already been done. The
fear exists and it is not ire
sponsible fear. 1t is fear based
on experience" Senator Miller

Democratic leaders looked tc
the Senate today to soften two
blows the House dealt Presi-
dent Johnson yesterday when
it passed the sharply reduced
s2.s billion foreign aid APP
preparation.
1t was Mr.. Johnson's first
major test with the Congress in
which he formerly was one of
the leaders.
First, the House made no
move to restore any of the $500
million its Appropriations Com
mittee had cut from the $3.6
billion authorization for new
money.
Then, by a vote of 216-169.
the House threw a roadblock in
the path of administration
hopes to sell surplus grains to
the Communist bloc nations.
The roadblock was a provision
forbidding the Export Import
Bank to guarantee private
bank loans to finance any
more Of these sales. The
amendment would not affect
any commitments already
made by the bank.
Feel Increase Unlikely
Although President johnson
had predicted the $2.S billion
limit on new money would put
our foreign policy in a strait
jacket" administration leaders
made no efforts to increase it,
in the obvious belief they had
no chance of succeeding.
The House rebuff to the ad-
ministration came at almost
the same time that Mr.. john
son was signing the 3.6 bill

gone to CataH. $50 miles

the Americans, Thomas M.

Senator Miller added: "Presi-

executive order making it clear
that no civil service employees
shall be permitted to purchase
these 500 tickets. Only then
will this fear be laid to rest"

Of Federal employees.
II hope the Federal employees
will not yield to this pressure. "

assure them they will have my
