U. S. May Have To Halt Aid To Some Nations WASHINGTON (UPD—Under a new law effective today, the United States may have to cut off economic and military aid to a number of countries whose ships or aircraft go to Cuba. The amounts of aid involved are small, and there are a number of loopholes the administration could invoke to avoid taking the action. But officials believe the cutoff provision raises “sotne nasty little problems.” The cutoff is part of Section 620 of the foreign assistance law enacted last December. It provides that virtually all foreign aid funds covered by the law must be denied to “any country which has failed to take appropriate steps, not later than 60 days after the date of enactment” to prevent ships or aircraft under its registry from carrying goods to or from Communist Cuba. The 60 days were up today, which means the administration now faces the problem of enforcing Section 620. The State Department and the Agency for International Development (AID' have declined so far to publish any official list of violators. Which countries are, in violation is still being debated, but it appears there may be at least eight — Britain, Let> anon, Italy, Yugoslavia, Spain, France, Morocco, and The Netherlands. Os these, only three received economical aid—Lebanon and Yugoslavia, both less than SIOO,OOO, and Morocco, about $2.1 million last year. U.S. sources said the list of possible violators also might include Greece, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, West Germany, Japan, Turkey, Panama, Finland, Canada and Mexico. But the administration has announced no determination of which countries have taken “appropriate steps.” Nor has it defined “appropriate steps” — whether there must be complete halting of shipping or merely reasonable measures to curb it. “

Foresees Passage 01 Tax Cut Next Week WASHINGTON (UPD — Sen. Russell B. Long. D-La., said today prospects were good for final congressional approval of President Johnson's big tax cut bill by the end of next week. Long, floor manager for the sll.B billion measure passed by the Senate seven days ago, said negotiators hoped to iron out a compromise with the $11.2 billion House version by Wednesday and then push quickly for House and Senate passage. If this timetable is realized, millions of American . wage earners might feel the benefits of the biggest tax cut in history the first week in March through slightly higher paychecks. House and Senate negotiators meet Monday in closed session to start voting on differences between the Senate bill and the House measure. Preliminary sessions were held Monday, but no decisions were taken on the more than 100 different provisions in dispute in the two versions. However, only a handful are expected to cause any difficulty. There is no disagreement on the heart of the bill — the top-to-bottom rate cuts for persons in all income brackets, and the reduction from 52 to 48 per cent in corporate tax rates. The fights shaped up over the many structural changes made in the tax code, some gaining revenues through “reforms and others revenue-losing liberalizations of existing law. Guiler Is Named Treasurer Os Firm Charles Guiler, son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Gordon of 1116 Nuttman avenue, was named treasurer earlier this week of the Colonial Mortgage Co., of Fort Wayne, to replace Cletus Rumschlag, son of Mrs. Lewis Rumschlag of Decatur and the late Lewis Rumschlag, who was advanced to Vice president. Guiler is married to the former Dianne Gordon, and they have two children, Douglas, 4, and Anita), 2. The couple lives at 7306 Spring Hill Drive, Fort Wayne.

Anderson Plan Rejected By Committee By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International Too bad that Rep. John B. Anderson was unable to interest chairman Wilbur D. Mills in the Anderson plan to restore the pain to taxpaying as part of the administration’s tax reduction legislation. Anderson is a Republican from Rockford, 111. Chairman Mills of the House Way? & Means Committee is an Arkansas Democrat. Anderson’s plan was referred to Mills’ committee last October. It was a three - paragraph bill self-de-scribed as follows: “To permit an employer, in his discretion, to deduct the required withholding tax from the wages of his employees only once a month even though their regular pay periods are less than a month.” TTiat is a proposition to restore the pain to and withdraw the pain killer from taxpaying. The big-spending, big - taxing politicians have been baboozling the voters with their something -for - nothing medicine. Their scheme has been to get themselves re-elected by spending the taxpayers’ money on various welfares and fringe benefits. The fast-talking politicos generally convince a majority of the voters that somebody else is paying the tax bills, that the Common Man is getting for free the fringe benefits that have been added to the benefits of U.S. citizenship. Would CaU It Baloney This is what the late Al Smith would have called baloney. It probably would be rejected by the brighter voters but for the pain killer narcotic that the late Beardsley Rumi peddled to Franklin D. Roosevelt. This was after FDR’s New Dealers had been bit by the fact tfeat their programs could not be adjusted to their campaign promises of government economy. Beardsley Rumi was a pusher for the narcotic withholding tax. FDR was hooked. Withholding at the source assured that a great many taxpayers who had paid less than they owed or not at all would be tagged for at least some and perhaps all of their tax liability. That was an assurance worth having. But there—came with the years something more. The working stiff , whose pay envelope had been tapped each week through all of his working life began almost to forget that he was paying taxes. If he didn’t forget, he was spared the anguish -of going into his pocket or his bank account to make an annual settlement with the tax collectors. Never Saw Taxes Take-home - pay became a phrase in American speech. Take-home-pay also became in the mind of the taxpayer and his wife the sum of his wages. The Common Man never saw the tax dollars withheld. He paid scant attention to the fact that it was withheld. Once a year, briefly, this Joe was startled to learn from his- boss how much he had paid in taxes. So the little guy was doped against knowing what the big spenders did to him. Andersons bill would change that. A dopey taxpayer earning SIOO a week could become accustomed to having $12.10 deducted each pay day for uncle. But, suppose he got the whole SIOO • for three weeks in a row and was tapped every fourth week for a month’s withholding. In that fourth week this taxpayer would draw $51.60 iiistead of SIOO. — A $75 -a - week man would draw $40.20 in that fourth week. The SSO man would get 538.80. The dopiest voter would be kept always aware under that system that the politicians were taking a big chunk of his personal dough. That could make it hard for the pels next time around. Fischer Quintuplets Fixe Months Old ABERDEEN. S. D. (UPD — The Fischer quintuplets were 5 months old today.

Driver Is Arrested Following Accident A Decatur youth was arrested following a one-car accident Thursday afternoon east of Decatur on U.S. 224.

No articles will be published without signature of the author. , O 0 Lauds Editorial Recently several of your editorials with respect to public education were called to my attention, and, I was particularly impressed with the one entitled “God in the Schools.” More nonsense has been written recently about this subject J>y newspapers in Indiana and elsewhere than any other aspect .ot public education. Your editorial was the expection. It is most refreshing to read such a well-reasoned editorial which has obviously been based upon thinking rather than emotion or what the editor may feel his readers want to hear. School boards and school superintendents who are forced to meet the problem of Religion in the public schools head on can become extremely unpopular with various segments of the community no matter what decisions are reached in this area. Yet the decisions must be made, one way or the other. I congratulate you for bringing the real issues squarely into focus. Sincerely, Lorin A.
