Congress Economy Mostly Malarkey By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON < UPD - TaxFoundation Inc. of New York comes up now with a chilling reminder that the 1959 session of I Congress was a spenderbund and not the economy operation it was ; advertised to be. More responsible for this than I any others are the taxpayers j themselves. The taxpayers also are voters. This automatically i gives them powers of awesome' finality over the careers of con- ; gressional statesmen. These congressional statesmen are the> Very ! ones who pass, the legislation for which the taxpayers—or their grandchildren—must pick up the tab. Taxnavers should know that the foundation offers simple evidence that the story of economy in the first session of the 86th Congress *as mostly malarkey. This is true despite the unchallenged fact that President Eisenhower bucked the spenders with vetoes and threats j of vetoes and with considerable success. Impact on Future Spending Nub of the foundation’s complaint is this: "An important omission in most analyses of congressional budgetary <spending> action in the session just ended is their failure to reveal the very significant impact some actions will have on future federal spending. "For example. Budget Director Maurice H. Stans and others have pointed out recently that ‘there is enough built-in momentum in the commitments under present laws and programs to raise total expenditures in 1961 by two or three billion dollars.” Stans has estimated that congressional actions in the past session would increase federal spending after 1960 by almost UMs billion dollars. He estimated that about 10 billion of this predicted increased would derive over a 40year period from the expanded veterans’ pension program and by 1959 authorization of additional

housing units. Eisenhower opposed both of these projects. In the wings awaiting the next session of Congress are projects which would build in more spending over the years. These, too, will pass unless the taxpayers get tough. The wonder is that they do not get tough because Washington spenderama over the years has speeded toward disaster an inflationary cycle which could be fatal to the US. dollar. The familiar buck will buy today less than half of what it would buy 20 years ago. Change Tax Day Twenty years more of the same and that buck in your pocket or in the bank will be worth a quarter, two-bits, and after that, who knows? If such aS that fails to put the taxpayer on his toes, what would? That is a fair question. For a fair answer, how about this: Let us petition our congressional statesmen to shift the annual income tax domesday from the spring to the late fall. Shift income tax day. in fact, to the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November each year. Make income tax day coincide with election day. Set a bear trap for the Washington statesmen who are so free and easy with other people’s money. Let the taxpayer divide his thoughts at campaign time between a choice among the candidates and anguished contemplation of the income tax bite put upon him every year. Just an idea, you understand, to kill off the spenders. Terms Ike’s Trip A Promising Move WASHINGTON (UPD-A leading Senate Democrat today called President Eisenhower’s forthcoming 11-nation good - will trip a promising move to build up friendship for the United States. Sen John J. Sparkman (DAla.), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the principal value of Eisenhower’s mission . “is the public [demonstration to the world that [the United States is interested in peace." Sparkman, Democratic vice presidential nominee in 1952, told newsmen the President “has a great capacity for building up an attitude of friendship for this country” and added: "I'm glad he's going/" "I believe there will be some good from the trip because he has away about him that creates confidence and we certainly need such an attitude of friendship in the countries he is going to visit,” Sparkman said The senator said that “the biggest weight artfund our necks so far as the natoins of the world are concerned is the image that Russia has been able to develop that we are a war-making people.” If you have something to sen or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad — They bring results.

OUTSIDE of what we are told about Jesus in the four Gospels,' what event is the most important of all those described in the New Testament? Most intelligent Christians would probably agree on one particular event. If it had not happened, nearly half the New Testament books could not have been

written. If it had not happened, over a quarter of the pages of the New Testament would be blank. If it had not happened, Christianity might well have died by strangulation. For there were

many who wanted to strangle it in its cradle, and except for one man they might have succeeded. Why, Saint Paul happened, to be sure! He himself never would say it "happened” and we do not mean that it was a happen-so, a chance occurrence. He believed to his dying day that God planned it, and we may well believe he was right. Confronted With Christ Saints do not become saints over night. But they have to start somewhere? somehow;The amazing thing about Paul is that he did ah absolute about-face, after a certain day near the city of Damascus in Syria. He was, to put if in one word, converted. That means, in still plainer English, turned around, faced backward from the way the person wdk‘ going, started in the opposite direction. It is quite a mistake to think that unless you are converted just as Saint Paul was converted, you haven’t been converted at all. That ‘ is as silly as saying that if you haven’t married a girl exactly likemy wife, you aren’t really married. As Saint Paul was a unique character any way you Took at him, his conversion would be unique too. Further, his situation was decidedly a strange one. He was a I professional religious man, en- : gaged in wholesale murder. He I was a man who belonged to one ! of the strictest religious sects of i that or any other era, and yet engaged in trying to smash up people ! who were actually better than he was. He was a man who was passionately devoted to serving God, spending his time making life miserable (when he could not actually kill them) for persons who understood God better than he did. A man like that, you would ' think, is not likely to have a “conI ventional” or average religious experience. Budding Saint Pauls since his time may have had somewhat similar conversions; but John Doe usually has the John Doe type of conversion. Confronted With Christ For all that, while much in the circumstances of Paul’s conversion (to use a name he did not actually bear till some time later) was peculiar, bizarre or awe-inspiring as you might think it, still basically it was a Christian conversion, with the basic Christian elements plainly in it. First of all, it was conI fronting Christ. It was a kind of miracle in Paul’s case. The miracle may not be so spectacular in other cases but Christ is always there at the beginning of every really Christian life. It may be a Confucian scholar reading a Bible for the first time; it may be an artist attracted by a picture of the Last Supper; it may be a French agnostic, seeing Christ in his wife’s 1 character; or a middle-aged man remembering one day how his mother used to pray. Somehow or other, all conversion is based on this meeting between an individual ' and Christ. Th* First Two Questions Years later Paul told the story of his conversion, to some people who at the moment were bent on killing him. He added something to the story told in Acts (the best manuscripts). He relates two questions, not one, which he asked in that great and awesome hour near Damascus. The first question: “Who art Thou. Lord?” and the second one: “What will you have me to do?** (See Acts 22.) On those two questions hung all his future life. Note three things here: he put his questions now to the highest Authority; he wanted to know all about Jesus; and he put his life at the disposal of his Lord. This is the essence of eonversion.
