Woman Sounds Off On Cost Os Taxes

By HOBTENSE MYEBB United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD - An . Indiana housewife, mother of five children, wrote Governor Welsh this letter "sounding off’ on government and taxes: "There are seven in our family. Our five children range from first grade through 11th grade. My husband is employed in the woodworking industry. His base pay averages $253 ‘take home' pay per month. Our budget, pared to essentials, requires $303 per month. "This does not allow for clothing, fire or auto insurance, personal property and poll taxes, auto upkeep and repairs, illness, glasses, dental work, etc. I am a full time homemaker. I raise a garden and can and preserve extensively. I sew for our girls and receive thankfully ‘hand-me-down clothing.’ "We moved to the country eight years ago with the children and a garden in mind. We have built our home as finances permitted. It now looks quite well outside, but we still lack over half the inside walls and the second floor, plumbing, etc. “Please don’t misunderstand me. We have many blessings lor which we are most grateful. I realize we are better situated than many. But please realize

that we work hard for every advantage and barely break even. "We have no financial backlog. Our only security is our life insurance. We owe our doctor over S4OO but we pay as we can. Our only recreation is television. We love swimming but can only go on ‘free days’. Our two eldest girls earn some money babysitting and buy some of their needs. "Now for my ‘beef.’ I am tired and frustrated by the conception of the United States as a rich country who should be all things to all people. I think the Peace Corps is great, but I don’t advocate trying to make over every country into our image. Let it suffice to teach them to make the most of their assets? “My blood pressure rises dangerously each time some government agency dips into our already insufficient income for another tax bite. Each new tax makes us cut more corners to stay solvent. Can you feed seven people on S2O to $25 per week? I must "I suggest more thought and care be used in spending what taxes already are available. Remember that is our money your’e so free with. I often have the feeling that eventual-

ly, by the time all the various taxes are deducted, there won’t be anything left of the paycheck for living expenses. "We don’t ask for any handouts from the government We only ask for an opportunity to have a little left to save for our old age. As to school needs, I believe money spent on education saves money for prisons, welfare, etc. But spend in on education, not on fancy gymnasiums that benefit the few. "As for government-paid research to develop safe tobacco —nonsense. Let us limit our government to essential things and quit shelling out cash for every whim. I have to decide what is most essential. How about the government trying that instead of calling for another tax? “Thank you for letting me sound off. I’ve been told repeatedly that it will be useless. Maybe so, but I’m still naive enough to believe it is a ’government of the people, by die people, for the people.’ “It is time for every citizen to try to inject' a little common sense into our government.” Nixon Says Nikita Most Able Leader MISENHEIMER, N.C. (UPD —Former Vice President Richard M. Nixon said Monday that in his opinion, Soviet Premier Khrushchev is the “most able, all-around world leader.” The remark was greeted with jest at the White House. “It sounds like maybe Mr. Nixon is propelling him (Khrushchev) as a possible Republican candidate for President,” said White House press secretary Pierre Salinger in Washington. Salinger said he had not discussed the statement with President Johnson. Nixon made his appraisal of Khrushchev during a speech to 2,000 students at Pfeiffer College in order, he said, to give them a “better understanding" of their enemy. He said Khrushchev was “not the most admirable, nor the most brilliant, but from an over-all standpoint, he is the most able” world leader. Nixon, who once debated the Russian leader during an American exhibit in Moscow, said Khrushchev was a "typical Communist” but a “rattier complex man’ capable of changing his pace at will. "He has a sense of humor and a steel-like quality of determination.’ said Nixon. “He knows what he wants and is out to get it,” The former vice president said the State Department underestimated Khrushchev when he first assumed power, saying he “spoke poor Russian, loses his temper and drinks too much. “He doesn’t lose his temper, he uses his temper; and when the chips are down, he doesn’t even touch the whisky glasses ih front of him at a dinner reception, he offers them to those around him,” Nixon said.

Voice Fears Os New Revolt In Bolivia

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Back in the 1940’s and early 1950’s when the signal fires of revolt were burning on Bolivian mountain tops,' the man with his finger on the trigger was Juan Lechin Oquendo. Lechin had the loyalty of the tough Bolivian miners, and without him no revolution was likely to succeed. Working with Lechin, a man* of little education, was. Victor Paz Estenssoro, an intellectual, a college professor who bad founded the National Revolutionary Movement (MNR) in 1942. A revolt triggered by the MNR in 1949 failed, but another in 1852 succeeded. Paz, in exile in Argentina, came back to Bolivia to become president. One of the men who brought him back was Lechin, who then, became minister of mines. Lechin still retains the loyalty of the miners but his old friendship for Paz has changed to open enmity. The split became final late in January when the MNR named Paz as its candidate to repeat himself in another four-year term as president and expelled ‘Lechin from the party. Boycotts Convention Lechin, vice president in Paz’s current term of office, boycotted the convention and announced that he would run against Paz in the elections next June. A rump convention of the MNR’s large left wing is expected to name Lechin as its candidate later this month. The split between the two men has led to fears that once again the miners will take up arms and that Bolivia, into which the United States has poured S3OO million in an attempt to insure stability, again will be torn by revolt. Lechin has accused the Paz government of corruption and of being anti-democratic. Specifically, he opposes Faz’s program for rehabilitation ( of Bolivia’s lagging tin mining industry, closing down some mines and eventually reducing the number of mineri by 5,000. Lechin has accused Paz of trying to wreck the unions and of being willing - /tW ■ Only Minor Damage As Autos Collide Two cars suffered only minor damages in an accident i# tito 300 block of 13th St. at 6;39 a. m. today.

to sell out the country to foreign interests. Feer Americana Seized An outgrowth of the dispute between the two men was last December’s seizure of four Americans by the tin miners who held them Mr 10 days as hostages for the release of three jailed union leaders. The three, described as Communists were accused of manslaughter and embezzlement. Lechin played a prominent role in obtaining release of the hostages, advising the miners to await a more favorable opportunity to "defeat the government.” Communist leadership among the miners gave similar advise. Lechin has denied that he is either Marxist or Communist. He frequently has denounced both the United States and the U. S.-supported Alliance for Progress. As a candidate be seems to have softened his views somewhat, saying now he would make use of the alliance and would offer guarantees to ioreign investors. Heavy Snow Blocks Highways In Texas By United Press International A slow-moving storm churned across the southern Plains today after stacking up to 30 inches of snow in the New Mexico highlands, blocking Texas roads with five - foot drifts and virtually isolating some towns. Highway travel was restricted to trucks within a 100 - mile radius of Amarillo, Tex. US. 66 west of the city was closed at 1:30 t.m. and was not expected to open before later in the day. The Texas Highway Patrol reported stiff northerly winds whipped the snow into five-foot drifts in some areas. Two buses were bogged down in the snow near Amarillo but police escort the passengers to safety. Heavy snow warnings were ih effect for extreme southwestern Kansas, Western Oklahoma and from the Texas Panhandle southward to the Pecos River Valley. Hazardous driving warnings extended from Nebraska to New Mexico. Up to 8 inches of new snow was expected during the day in Kansas and up to 6 inches elsewhere in the Southwest. Ruidoso, N.M., counted 15 inches of snow from the storm and the Sandia Peak ski area recorded its first good snow of the winter—3o inches. Crews worked in snow and wind near Vaughn, N.M., to lay. M* track after a 114-car freight derailed in the storm MondaySnow, rain and fog made driving hazardous across much of Kansas.

Kizer Carries On Vigorous Campaign INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)-State Sen. Marshall Kizer of Plymouth carried his campaign for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination to the Indianapolis City-County Building today and planned to shake hands with everybody in the 29-story structure. Kizer stationed himself at the main entrance to the seat of Marion County and Hoosier capital government at 7:30 a.m. EST. He intended to greet office holders and workers and visitors to the building. Kizer said Monday he believes he would stand a good chance of getting the nomination if the party’s state convention were held now. He made the comment following a conference with Governor Welsh, who has yet to throw the power of his statehouse office behind any particular Democratic candidate for his job. Kizer, who was Senate minority leader during the stormy 1963 Legislature, was asked if he discussed reports the governor favors Lafayette attorney Roger Branigin, another Democratic gubernatorial candidate. He, said he had not. But he added “I assume he (Welsh) is not" backing Branigin after Branigin’s s tatement about taxes. Kizer referred to a news conference in Lafayette at which Branigin announced his candidacy and indicated he thought the adjusted gross income tax law should be repealed. Branigin also said he thought that if the sales tax i$ retained it should be amended to exclude food and medicine. "I dont’ see how the Democratic organization could support a candidate who has endorsed the program which Democrats fought for 101 days/’ Kizer declaired. He took the position Branigin likes the Republican House tax program which was one of many considered during the Legislature. However, Branigin told newsmen that he would support any tax program the Democratic platform endorsed.
