TODAY’S EDITORIAL

Temporary Tax?

r pHOSE "TEMPORARY” measures which Congress ■ enacts from time to time have a peculiar way of

becoming permanent. So it is with the 10 per cent surtax on personal and corporate incomes proposed by President Johnson as an emergency measure against inflation and finally passed by Congress last spring. The tax is due to expire on June 30. 1969, but already we are hearing predictions that it may be extended. Rep. Wilbur Mills, D-Ark., who heads the House Ways and Means committee, recently broke the bad news in remarks to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Said Mills: "At this time, with the information presently available to us, if we are to avoid another excessive deficit, I see little possibility for.letting the surtax expire on June 30, 1969, unless additional very stringent economies are placed in effect.” Mills noted that the only alternative to continuation of the surtax is to bring spending into line. But he added: “Regardless of what the candidates say and what administration takes charge, the pressures will continue for more government spending.” The Ways and Means chairman is a seasoned politician, and he is undoubtedly correct in saying that pressures will be brought to bear for additional federal spending. The question, however, is not what the next administration is going to do, but what Congress is going to do. Under the Constitution, the president proposes and the Congress disposes. Only Congre^k can appropriate funds, and all money bills must originate in the House of Representatives. That is where the responsibility lies. The real question is whether the next Congress will simply yield to whatever pressures are generated or whether it will take an accurate reading of the people’s wishes and act accordingly. It should be noted that the demands of lobbyists and entrenched bureaucrats are not necessarily the demands of the people. Americans were promised that the 10 per cent surtax would end within one year. The next Congress should honor that pledge.

McCarthy issues statement in support of Hubert Humphrey

JIM BISHOP: Reporter

He took a long pull on the bottle of bourbon standing on the dresser. ‘It takes legs,’ he said. ‘Legs will carry an officer up front with his men, or they’ll carry him back to GHQ.’ He set the bottle back gently. ‘Legs have guts, or legs are jelly.’ It was the last summer of the war. Richmond was hot. The creek beds were dark damp. General Lewis Puller of the United States Marine Corps strode back and forth across the little hotel room. He looked like a fighting cock; he had the broad flat face of the ventriloquist’s dummy. He had the legs, but the Pentagon had recalled him from the Pacific. He was ‘on leave.’ The whispered word was that the general was battle happy. His Marines, in concert with an Army division, had taken the island of Peleliu. It was done the hard way. Chesty Puller’s kids had killed 10,000 Japanese troops and captured one. The general sent the one prisoner back to GHQ with a big sign on his shirt: ‘Herewith one prisoner with apologies. Puller.’ The word got out and the general was recalled. Away back in 1918, he had been too small, too skinny and too young to make World War I. He lied on a Marine Corps inHe lied on a Marine Corps enlistment form and the Corps took him and ran him through the toughest boot camp in the world — Parris Island. He came out of it the toughest Marine in the world. Enlisted men seldom reach high rank. The rare one who makes master sergeant is in clover. Nothing could stop Puller. His chest became bigger and bigger and his leg muscles were out of a quarry. He made rank after rank. By the time he was finished with World War II, he was a Major General, with four — count ‘em — Navy Crosses, and enough additional medals to run across four rows of his chest. I sat on the bed in the hot

hotel room, making notes xOr a magazine article. He took another drink, and stood the Christmas tree in a corner of a wall. ‘Christmas in July?’ I said. The mean features softened. The wide mouth cracked in a smile. ‘Ah,’ he said and stopped. ‘Well, I meant to tell you, I married sort of late. Then they cut orders for the Pacific, you see, so I never got to see the baby.’ I had caught him on his way home to a small Virginia town. Continued on Page 3

By ROY MCGHEE WASHINGTON (UPI)—Sen Eugene J. McCarthy said today he intends to vote for Hubert H. Humphrey for President and recommended that his followers do the same. “Many, if not most, of my supporters have, I believe, already made this decision,” McCarthy said. He issued the statement from his Capitol office, saying most Americans were “quite capable of making their own decision about the presidency.” After refusing, since he lost the Democratic nomination to Humphrey in Chicago in August, to endorse Humphrey or to tell his supporters what he would do on election day, McCarthy said in the statement just one week before the voting: “To those . . who may be waiting for my decision, I wish to announce that on Nov. 5 I intend to vote for Vice President Hubert Humphrey and recommend that those who have waited for this statement of my position do the same.” But he made clear that he was less than satisfied with Humphrey’s positions on the

Vietnam War and other matters. McCarthy said Humphrey’s stand on “the principle issues that have been raised in mv campaign—namely, the ending of the war in Vietnam, the demilitarization of United States government policy, and the reform of the draft laws so as to make them responsive tc individual conscience, together with the reform of the politica process within the Democratic Party— falls far short of what I think it should be. “The choice, however, is between Vice President Hubert Humphrey and Richard Nixon. My support of Hubert Humphrey is based on two considerations:
