Modern Fibers Are Helpful To Yachtsmen Thanks to modem synthetic fibers yachtsmen have at their disposal ropes or lines that are rotfree and which possess many other desirable properties that were undreamed of prior to World War 11. An important on? is their greater strength, an attribute permitting the use of smaller diameters. As with all ropes, care must be taken to guard even the synthetics against chafing. In addition, they must be kepi free of abrasive materials. Nylon is Elastic With the growing variety of synthetic cordage, comes the problem of selecting lines with special properties for specific jobs. Some stretch, some do not. Some knot easily, others are hard to knot. Some float, some don't. Here is a brief guide to the use of synthetic cordage: Nylon, perfect for anchor roads and mooring lines, is too elastic for sheets or halyards. Strains to bitts and ground tackle are absorbed by nylon with its 20 per cent stretch under load equivalent to 20 per cent of its break strength. As wth all snythetic ropes, care must be taken when knotting or belaying nylon. The lower surface friction of synthetics does not hold knots well. However, once a sailor learns the special techniques of splicing nylon, it is practically as easy as manila. Dacron, since it does not stretch, is a superior rope for sheets and halyards. Amost as strong as nylon, dacron also requires care in knot- [ ting and splicing. It costs more than nylon and shares nylon's rot resis- • tance and generaHy comfortable

Bayh Expresses Concern Tax Increase Will Depress American Economy

FRENCH LICK — Indiana Senator Birch Bayh expressed today deep concern over the possible depressive effect that President Johnson's proposed 10 per cent surtax on corporate and personal income could have on the economy. Bayh, who is in French Lick to attend the annual Indiana Democratic Editorial Association meeting, said, “At present, it is impossible to judge correctly the effect of this tax on the nations economy. This, of course, if the crucial factor.” ‘lt does not make good sense,” Bayh said, “to impose an additional tax burden on the average taxpayer ■ for the purpose of increasing revenlue if. indeed, the effect of the tax I would be to slow down our rate of : economic growth. This wodd decrease taxable income, with the net effect of having less government income from taxes. “Before any tax bill is passed, we must make sure of the economic conditions the bill will create. Unless we can be assured that the economy will not be depressed, that our national product will continue to increase at a satisfying rate, and that employment will remain at a high level and even expand; even then I have grave doubts about the advisability of increasing taxes at this time.” Bayh said the proposed tax surcharge “presents those of us who handlin? characteristics. Polyethylene rope, although not as strong as nylon or dacron, floats. Tuk characteristic makes it ideal for water ski tows and dinghy painters. It is a slippery fiber, otherwise excellent and generally priced competitively with nylon. Polypropylene rope also floats and has been selected by the American Water Ski Association for use in competitions. It stretches less than nylon and quickly recovers its original length. Monofilament polypropylene is not as slippery as mulitfilament but the latter is softer to handle. Manila Still Popular

THE MARL-JOURNAL

have worked for a balanced budget with a difficult situation. Even with the proposed surcharge, it is estimated we will have a budget deficit of S2O-billion in the coming year”. “Now, the problem comes from the reality erf our involvement in Viet Nam. We are spending more than S7O-billion a year for defense — and that amounts to 56 to 60 per cent of the total budget right there”. “Another 22 per cent of the budget”. Bayh said, “is fixed by law — things like interest on the public debt, veteran’s pensions and medicare. Another 11 per cent is required to meet prior commitments on ..construction — public works projects already begun, housing obligations and others”. “That leaves, at best, only 11 per cent of the budget. We have made some significant cuts within this area. We cut SBCO million from the foreign aid bill, and as much as SSOO million may be cut from the space program”. "Since the bill is currently before the House Ways and Means Committee, it will' be late September before it readies the Senate. During the next few weeks I plan to study the bill and all revelant economic data”. “If I am not cinvinced that our economy will continue to expand and create more jobs for all Americans, then I will vote against the 10 per cent surtax,” he said. Manila, the old reliable, is the only organic fiber than can compete with the new products of the test tube and continues to be exceedingly popular, partly due to the cost factor. However, Manila is not rot resistant and, even with good care, seldom lasts more than two seasons. Sisal is another natural fiber in use but it does not compare in strength or rot resistance to manila or to any of the synthetics. Linen rope, because of its cost and the competition of the synthetics, has practically disappeared from the marine market.
