WASHINGTON UPI—Mathematics I ve never been very good at. but I have been trying to devise an equation to fit the new duty-free allowance that Congress has set for U.S. tourists. Most tourists, as you know.

Conservationist Struck and Killed GASTONIA, N. C. UPI — Rep. T. Ashton Thompson, DLa., a congressional champion of wildlife conservation, was killed by a truck on an interstate highway Thursday while talking with a state trooper who had stopped him for speeding. The careening tractor-trailer truck hurled Thompson, 49, over his car, parked on a shoulder of Interstate 85, and struck the congressman’s vehicle and the highway patrol car before overturning. Thompson’s wife, Leatrice, 36, their two children, Anthony, 7, and Christine, 10, and Evaline Poullard, 52, the family maid, were taken to a hospital for treatment of shock and bruises. Ned Turner, of Westville, N.J., driver of the truck, which overturned about 50 yards away, was hospitalized with internal injuries. State trooper J. C. Goodin, who was standing beside Thompson, received minor injuries. Thompson, a congressman from Louisiana's 7th District since 1952, and his family, were returning to Villa Platte from Washington for the Fourth of July weekend.
Major Change In Imigration Policy WASHINGTON UPI—A major change in American immigration policy—repeal of the 41-year-old “national origins” quota system for choosing immigrants to the United States —now appears to be a certainty. A nine-member House judiciary subcommittee, deadlocked on immigration reform for the past three years, now is reported to be unanimous in favor of repeal. This agreement is expected to lead to the drafting of a new immigration code before the end of July. Whether there is time for enactment of even a bipartisan

first observed among women golfers. Sihply stated, the “fudging paradox’* occurs when the dishonesty rate fails to rise or fall tn direct proportion to the increase or decrease of the sum at stake. If “X” number of women golfers fudge a bit when the stakes are a dime a hole, “X” number will continue to fudge If the stakes are lowered to a nickel a hole. And if the stakes are raised to 20 cents a hole, the ratio remains approximately the same. Mathematically^ women golfers are defined a* "constant variables.’* According to a bureau spokesman, the paradox also exists among tourists.

"consensua’* Immigration bill In this session of Congress is problematical. If not, it certainly would be high on the list in 1966. The strong possibility of immigration reform is a result of the 1964 Democrtaic election landslide. The indicators are thta quota system repeal could get through both House and Senate with little trouble once it gets out of committee. The immigration subcommittee began voting Thursday on the policies to be incorporated j in the bill. No details of the decisions taken were available, since members pledged to keep tehir work secret until it was completed. But it was no secret about the tentative agreements reached by the six Democrats and three Republicans. Repeal of the quota system for one, is regarded as a foregone conclusion. The system was installed In 1924 as a reaction to the tidal wave of immigration which hit the United States around the turn of the century. It allocated a quota of immigrants to each country outside the Western ■ Hemisphere. The quota figures | were based on the national origins of the U.S. population in 1920, thus the nations of Western and Northern Europe (Britain, Ireland. Norway, Sweden.

By Edward Collier Excellent highways have opened the back doors of hidden history and weird wonders of stone in the Southwestern U.S.A.’s Indian country. Arizona’s contributions are many: Chiricahua National Monument and its "Cochise Head,” a nature-sculptured memorial of stone to the famous Apache chief; the San Carlos Indian Reservation, home of the now-peaceful, proud Apaches; and quiet Globe, which belies a rip-roaring past that started when silver was discovered in the 1870’s. Then there is Tonto National Monument, where two well-pre-served cliff dwellings stand under a natural arch in the face of a canyon wall; Petrified Forest National Monument, whose felled trees have turned to stone over the centuries and were
polished by the winds to expose brilliant colors ranging from ambers to deep purples; and the Painted Desert, where a jumble of panchromatic sands and eroded mounds resemble tepees. Following the Magic Circle route into New Mexico, there is Gallup, a cosmopolitan little city of ranchers, Indians, prospectors, servicemen, tourists, and secluded Kit Carson’s Cave, where the famous scout once held the Navajos at bay for two weeks in this canyon country. Inscription Rock, preserved at El Morro National Monument, is a giant stone mountain which served as a landmark first for the Indians, Spanish conquistadors, and finally scouts, explorers, wagon trains, and the U.S. Cavalry. Acoma Pueblo oa the Zuni Indian Reservation is perched on a giant rock mesa rising 400 feet above the plaint.
