Dear Editor:

It was rumored that South Putnam Community School Board held an executive session after their special meeting December 23, 1966. During this session, it was considered to offer Norman Brennan, school attorney, a contract for a percentage of the total cost of the new South Putnam Senior High School, amounting to approximately $15,000 to $20,000. Several of the members objected, stating it was explainad to them by John W. Voyles, Vice-President of School Building, Inc., If tiis money la borrowed from them, any special legal council needed would be provided by their company, as the contract between the two will provide for legal council. As some members of the board didn’t remember the above statement, it was decided to invite Voyles for the January 9 meeting, and the discussion of Brennan’s contract was tabled until then. Voyles didn’t appear at the January 9th meeting, and Brennan’s contract was never mentioned at the open meeting. I understand North Putnam Is using the same financial arrangements to finance their building program, and I would like to know if they have a special contract with their school attorney that provides for additional salary? If they don’t, why must South Putnam need special legal counsel in the amount of $15,000 to $20,-

000 a year?

The ability, talent, time and location are factors that help the wage earner and then there must be good management of what has been earned so it will be a blessing and not a liability.

LBJ Discusses 6% Surcharge WASHINGTON UPI—President Johnson claims his plan to ask for a 6 per cent surcharge on income tax bills is "a nominal amount’’ necessary to help finance the Vietnam War effort. “No one wants a tax bill unless it is in the national interest," he told an impromptu White House news conference Tuesday. “We think it is.” But the nation’s economic indicators are posing an embarrassing question for the chief executive and his fiscal advisors—is the tax hike really necessary? Johnson proposed his tax increase plan last week partly on the assumption that the economy was likely to need some insurance against overheating the inflation in 1967, particularly during the second half. “We believe if we have a tax increase bill that we will have an easier money situation," he said. “So we are not asking too much. We hope that this will reduce the deficit . . . “We just think that while we have 2.9 million new jobs, with very high employment and very high wages, it is time to defer some of this,” the President said. Administration officials have said they would like to see taxes go up on July 1, and the chief executive indicated Tuesday he was not asking for immediate action on his plan. The economic Indicators continue to point to at least a slowdown—not a speed-up—in the economy this year. Carl Madden, chief economist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, takes an even gloomier view of the future. In a speech at Houston, Madden, questioned whether a tax boost In mid-1967 “would not plunge the economy, already slowing down, into a recession.”

Proposed Budget Is $73 Billion "Plus" For Year

WASHINGTON UPI—President Johnson plans to propose the biggest defense budget since World War n next week, a whopping $78 billion “plus" for the next fiscal year. This was disclosed by the President late Tuesday during

—Eastern Star ments present and they were introduced. Others introduced were the Worthy Matrons and Worthy Patrons which included those from the 25 chapters in District No. 9 as wen as those from Indianapolis and Dugger, Past Matrons and Past Patrons and Past Deputies. The benediction was given by John Poor, Worthy Patron of Greencastle Chapter. Before going downstairs the table blessing was given by Vance Clodfelter, Worthy Patron of Russellville Chapter. Everyone adjourned to the dining room to enjoy a very bountiful smorgasbord. The dining room was beautifully decorated with candles and blue violets. The dining room decorations were done by Mrs. Dorisann Albright, Mrs. Bobbi Jo Judy, Mrs. Thelma Wuertz, Mrs. Edna Poor, Mrs. Mary Jane Monnett, Mrs. Margaret Headley, Mrs. Janice Shoup and Mrs. Reita Wood. The Smorgasbord committee were Mrs. Myrtle Gass, Mr. and Mrs. Austin Kircher, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Hopkins, Mrs. Mary Jane Monnett, Mrs. Jo Ruth Etter, Mr. and Mrs. William Johnston and Mrs. Margaret Buckles. Many guests then went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Pickett where dessert was served by Mrs. Bobbi Jo Judy, Mrs. Betty Brununett and Miss Jeannette Cox. Hostesses and hosts for the evening were the Past Matrons and Past Patrons and officers of Greencastle Chapter under the leadership of Mrs. Lillian Terry, Past Deputy of District No. 9.

an impromptu news conference during which he also indicated he plans to ask for a $9.4 billion defense supplement for the current fiscal year ending June 30. On the domestic front, Johnson reiterated, the administration still intends to cut spending $3 billion during the rest of fiscal 1967 by its announced deferral of a variety of federal programs which included some public works and highway construction projects. A $73 billion defense budget, if adopted by Congress, would be the third largest in U.S. history, exceeded only by 1945’s $79.9 billion when the nation was fighting a global war. It would be nearly $15 billion more than the $58.3 billion Johnson originally asked for the current fiscal year and over $5 billion more than total fiscal 1967 defense spending including the $9.4 billion supplemental Congress will be asked for. Johnson emphasized that the deferral of the domestic programs did not mean they were being abandoned. Budget officials said they could be resumed in from three to six months. If the economy should show signs of lagging, Johnson explained, the projects could be launched at any time it was thought the spending was needed to give it a boost He reaffirmed that $1.1 billion in new highway construction would be included among the deferrals, and disclosed that the administration was considering increasing this to $1.5 billion. The original announcement of a suspension in highway construction drew sharp criticism from state and local officials. Some 58 of the projects to be delayed are so-called pork barrel public works projects such as post offices, small watershed dams, health research facilities and the like.
