Like Riding Broomstick

THIS COPTER thing takes off like an infuriated palm tree, and you are sitting behind a flimsy windshield, to a cushion. It is precisely like riding a broomstick in a high gale. You skim the edges of the trees, shuddering sideways in a 50-knot breeze, and then you are staring down at 6000 feet of forbidding gorge. Then you drop like a stone, 4000 or 5000 feet straight down, picking orchids off the hillside as you fall, and suddenly you are twisting in and out of the valley where the old Hawalian kings lived. ’ The pilot looks at your green face, grins, and says: “Hope we don't get lost. I never been this deep in myself." And your stomach does a flipflop Then you are buzzing the stones of the beach at a terrifying clip, or suddenly sailing sideways out to sea, and when you finally get back, sick and shaking, you vow to confine yourself to wheel-

Money for All

By Frederick C. Othman

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11—I can’t help it if I am a day late with this piece about the budget; I read it, all five pounds, nine ounces of it, and while this took time I did learn where the 42 billions are going. First off I wish those heavyweight Senators would sit down a little more gently in their mahogany chairs. : President Truman had budgeted $18,000 for repairing their furniture, He also reports that it's going to cost $5,400,000 for patching up the White

which last was in the news when it advised him fot” to build a Yack porch on the: executive: He 1s seeking $112,000 to investigate earthquakes, $266,931 to ditto sheep and goats, and $173,500 to study honey bees. His agriculture boys also have a scheme to get automobile tires from cows. They're working on making synthetic rubber from milk, but try as I would I couldn't discover what it ‘will cost. ~All I-got for this effort was red-rimmed eyes.

$5480 For Veep's Auto FOR THE VEEP'S limousine Mr. Truman wants $5480; to keep the senatorial subway trains running $2600, and to build an Arctice health institute In Alaska, $6,450,000. He needs $860,000 to control white-fringe beetles, $32,800 to educate congressional pages, $275 for streetcar fares of the gardeners at the botanic gardens, and $546,350 to pay the wages of federal court criers, For the Atomic Energy Commission, which already has 2082 automobiles, busses and trucks, he expects to buy 339 more. The government printing office must have $16,250,000 for printing such things as the budget, itself, while the Post Office Department needs $13,868,200 for supplies,

Mercy Killing

REEDS FERRY, N. H,, Jan. 11—First on the program were the Misses Norma Penrod and Lois Sloan, the high school elocution winners. Miss Penrod spoke a “dramatic” piece, “Honey,” while Miss Sloan’s piece, “Goodbye, Sister,” was “humorous.” Then, in a strange kind of matter-of-fact way, the 20th Century intruded upon the fusty Victorian atmosphere of the John Wheeler Chapel as the Reeds Ferry Women's Club turned to its debate on mercy killings. "The better element, finally, had decided to accept the fact that young Dr. Hermann Sander of nearby Manchester was in trouble—he is accused of putting a cancer victim but of her misery. But somehow that kind of progressive talk bout enthanasia didn't seem-to belong in the little meeting room. Old Arthur Gordon—whose mother was a McGaw, he'll let you know—had stoked up a crackling fire in the square, squat stove in one corner of the room, and he'd cleaned the place up so’'s the ladies wouldn't go around wiping at the dust. *

Scrubbed, Cheerful Room THE ROOM was cheerful, in a scrubbed sort pf way. Mr. Gordon's own Maxfield Parrish-type bil painting, which he'd dug out of the attie, hung proudly from the walls, there was an Armstrong upright piano, and a modern knee-hole desk, and a 1949 calendar. In one corner was the World War II honor roll—a cardboard scroll bearing names like Harry Babkirk and Curtis Bell and James Osgood and Charles Watkins. And on the bookcase was the big; leather-bound Bible, which has a line in fit-— Exodus 20-13-“Thou Shait- Net. Kill.”

These many years since I have been straining my eyes on the small type in his budget, the President always has asked for $30 for the transportation of things at the White House.

This cheered me considerably until I looked at| the Navy's needs; it owns a lot of things and it intends to spend $75 million transporting them:
