SHARK RESEARCH Ray
Bunting, owner of Delaware
Shark Laboratories, Milford,
Delaware, while doing research
into the Spiny Dogfish Shark for
the United States Government
Shark Unit, Sandy Hook Marine
Laboratory in Highlands, New
Jersey and his forthcoming
picture book "The Delaware
Shark" came very close to
drowning. Bunting has a shark
line set at Fowlers with some
one hundred baited hooks.
Garger hooks will be added
when the sand sharks arrive at
Fowlers In May). Bunting said
he was using his homemade
six-foot shark boat to set an
ether stake, when the wind came
up and carried his bath-tub-1ike
boat out into the Delaware Bay.
The waves came into the leak
ing boat and 1t started to sink.
Bunting, who buys and sells
government surplus materials,
used his Navy surplus aluminium
oar to try and make a near
stake, but passed 1t by as the
wind was forcing the boat In
only one direction. Another
stake was passed and another
Ghe last) and Bunting said hs
had to make decision. One: Hs
could bail Like mad and try and
keep the boat on top while drift
Ing down the bay, or he could
swim to the beach. When the
boat was about one-half mile
from the shore he jumped over
the side. The water was very
cold, he said, until he reached
the flats. Wearing a dark blue
Navy surplus rubber life vest,
a faded blue work shirt, tan
Army pants and no shoes, his
Navy surplus survival knife
hanging at his belt, he walked
to the beach. There on the beach
was seven large sharks, left
there by a Gillnet fisherman
whe gives Bunting sharks from
the net. Bunting said 1t would
have made some picture. Like
a World War II story, Bunting
said. Back In 1945 Mr.. Bunting

Taxpayers are honest

income brackets, most of them elderly,
who rely on income from these sources
to keep their heads above water. In many
instances the withholding levies would be
greater than the tax that they actually w
1t is true that the over-payment could be
recovered by making proper application
to the Treasury, hut this is a time-con-
Stunning matter, ART meanwhile, those in
volved would be without funds to which
they are entitled. Moreover, numbers of
them would not know of or understand
the routine which recovery of over-pay-'
ment of taxes involves, and SO would lose
income which is rightfully theirs.
Certainly, the Internal Revenue Service,
with all its experienced personnel, with
the vast sources of information which it
has in its files, and with modern electronic
equipment which can instantly produce
all relevant information about every tax
payer in the country, can catch up with
the tiny percentage of tax evaders without
a law which is based on the principle that
JUS about everyone is crooked.
Holmes County herald., 1963-01-24

The Kansas City Times quotes a mid
west regional officer of the Internal Rev
enue Service as saying that an overwhelm-
ing majority of all federal taxpayers vol
unfairly file and pay their correct taxes.
In his words, "By and large the citizens
of this country, the taxpayers, do a ire
mendous job. . And since this situation
doesn't exist in any other country it's
worth talking about" Statistically, ne
added that about 81 or % per cent OF all
the tax dollars which the Treasury has
coming reach it without any goading or
legal steps by the government.
Here, coming from an authoritative
source within the government itself, IS
some potent ammunition for those who
oppose the plan, which got nowhere in the
last Congress but will be offered again
in the next, to apply a federal withhold
ing tax to income from dividends and
interest.
If this scheme were adopted the bur
den would fall heaviest on those who could
least afford it = people in very modest

Perfect contrast

natural resources only subsistence items,
food included, can be found in the stores,
and even those are in tragically short
supply.
Now we have another example, far
closer to home. A short time ago Castro's
government nation1lized all of Cuba's shoe
and clothing stores, and established a tight
system of rationing . most Cubans can't
obtain shoes at all. Then, just before
Christmas, according to an AP wire date
lined Havana, it was ordered that all baby
goods, of whatever kind, can be sold only
to mothers of infants or expectant mothers.
The AP quotes a leading Cuban newspaper
as stating that should a woman's %"pregnan-
cy not be evident, she must have a medi-
cal certificate to demonstrate it" How
would you like to walk into an American
retail store and be greeted with an or
der like that?

Stennis asks
Investigation
on barracks

Senator John Stennis this
week called upon the Comp
troller General to ''take nece6
sary steps to prevent the army
from constructing military
barracks at the Ole Miss CAM
puS. 9ss Z
Stennis, a ranking member
of the Senate Appropriations
Committee, took the action
after comforting by telephone
with Mississippi Attorney
General Joe +. Patterson.
Earlier, Patterson obtained
a state court temporary in

tractor from proceeding with
construction of permanent
barracks to house regular ar.

lawful and is an outstanding
example of the willingness of

Holmes County herald., 1963-01-24

Last December, as in a legion of past
Defenders, the American people bought
Everests of Christmas gifts. The stores,
as always, were loaded with an infinite
variety of wares. The buyer was limited
only by his own tastes, judgment, and
pocketbook.
The American retail store, large or
small, chain or independent, provides a
perfect contrast between an economic Sys-
TEN based on free competition and free
choice, and an economic system based on
official decree.
In the Soviet Union, despite its vast
population and its wealth of natural re-
sources, the shortage of consumer goods
has become so acute that Premier Khrush-

sioners should meet five days
before the election as required
by said Section 3239 of the
Code and make such revi-
sions of the registration and
poll books as they can with
the information before them.
l do not think that the election
commissioners should erase
the name of anyone from the
poll books because poll tax
records for the year 1862 are
non-accessible, and, that all
persons who have paid their
poll tax for the years 1860
and 1861 should have their
names appear upon the poll
books as qualified electors
unless there is some other
disqualifying Information be-
fore the commissioners.
We recognize that many
persons did not pay their
1860 poll tax but will have
paid their 1861 and 1862 poll
taxes by February LIST of
1868, and there will be no way
for the election commission
ers to have the poll books list
these persons as qualified
electors; therefore, these
persons, those holding 1861
and 1862 receipts only, should
in order to avoid any ques-
ton concerning their eligi-
bility to vote because Of nom
payment of poll tax, bring
with them to the polls receipts
for these two years. As to
those holding 1860 and 1861
poll tax receipts they may,
as a matter of precaution,
bring their 1862 receipt to the
polls with them; however,
their names will, in all prob
ability, appear upon the poll
books as qualified electors as
stated above and there will

Hall OF free enterprise

an uniformed and unsuspecting public"
That fact has caused the American Eco
nomic Foundation - whose task is to
spread economic truth - to propose a
Hall of Free Enterprise at the New York
Worlds Fair of 1964-'65. In such a hall,
writes Mr.. Clark, -. the basic economic
facts of production and exchange of all
goods and services can be dramatically
demonstrated for all the world to see; and
the contrast in results under freedom with
those of dictatorship"
Anything which helps to clear away the
clouds of ignorance surrounding our sys-
TEN of free enterprise within a free society
adds to the power, the security and the
prestige of he whole Free World.
