I hope the enclosed will be of some small help. 1 am sorry it cannot be more, but being retired on a small' pension, and present conditions, it is a existence meager, for many of. us. It seems to me that the time is ripe for the Church to lend financial as well as spiritual assistance to your fight for truth and the preservation of our Constitution. Did not the Lord declare... I established the Constitution of the land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very hand-to-mou- th Dear Senator Church: We, the undersigned, were appalled recently to learn that the Central Intelligence Agency is in possession of information indicating that there are Soviet agents on seven Senator's staffs. This information was imparted to Senator Goldwater. who was informed by the Vice President that this information would appear in Commission the Rockefeller Report. Subsequently, he was informed that this information was deleted from the report. While there is no formal security clearance necessary for employment on a Members staff, each person so employed on the House side does swear to the following item: (5) That I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty II Corinthians 3:17 JSiiiiTiiiirmrniiiiiiiiiiiiiiisiniisiiMiiiiiiimiMiiuC KERSHNERS COMMENTARY By Dr. Howard E. Kershner Who Omis The Dow Chemical Company? One of the giants of American industry, ranking well up in the top one hunched corporations of our country, is the vast international complex we know as T he Dow Chemical Company. Long known for its enlightened, aggressive and progressive policies, Dow now operates in Europe, Latin America, the Pacific region, Canada and the United States. Last year the sales volume of Dow reached nearly $5 billion. This astonishing total was achieved by 53,300 persons working together haimoniously in this worldwide empire. T he average earnings of these people was well over $ 6,600 per year. Behind each one of these workers, capital investment such as tools, buildings, and equipment amounted to approximately $66,000. In 1974 those who supplied this equipment earned a dividend reward amounting to $111 million. T he employees who did the work earned eight times as much, or $888 million. The amount divided between h for owners and employees was at the ratio of s for employees. owners and Surely that is a minimum reward for all tiie capital risks, hard work and expertise that is required. Who would want to work patiently for years and save his money carefully until he had accumulated $66,000 in order to finance his own job? Surely he would prefer to have someone else do it, even though it did cost of the dollars available for division between owners and workers. (The ratio between employee compensation and dividends varies from industry to industry. On the average, employees get 19 or 20 times as much as the owners. ) The Internal Revenue Service has promoted the doctrine that ownership is determined by whoever gets the larger portion of the income. If that be true, government is the biggest partner in the Dow Chemical Company as, indeed, in most American industries. In 1974 Dow paid in taxes $615 million, almost six times as much as was of paid to stockholders in dividends, and the amount paid out in wages and salaries to its 53,300 well-integrat- ed 1 freely, eight-ninth- three-quarte- employees.

If the Central Intelligence Agency possesses such information and has not made it available to the Senators concerned, it should do so immediately, or turn the information over to the F.B.I. for the same purpose. Furthermore, it is our strong feeling that your Select Committee to Study Government Operation With Respect To Activities should Intelligence undertake, as part of your current activities a public investigation of the extent of foreign infiltration on Senate staffs and with a view to recommending whatever remedial action the committee considers to be necessary.

To me the solution seems ultra simple and I cant see where New York has any worry. First of all New York is obviously willing to pay back any money they borrow with interest. The obvious answer is to borrow it from those who put them this deep in debt; namely, the two Cheshire cats. For one. from the time the state of New York was incorporated to the time of Rockefeller (quite a few years) it was 9 hundred million dollars (S900.000.000) in debt. After his 8 years. New York was over 10 billion dollars (510.000.000.000) in debt. Recently Exxon showed a NO ENDORSEMENT Dear Editor: You published a letter recently from Mrs. Loretta Knowles of California who said she was seriously considering switching to the American Party until she saw an American Party mailing piece endorsing" Ronald Reagan, along with Wallace. Helms, Thomson, etc. Actually, the mailing piece did Names not endorse anyone. mentioned prominently by conservatives were mentioned in order to survey" reader opinion. I doubt that Reagan could conceivably get the American Party nomination, even if he wanted it. Most members of our Party, including me, are not at all convinced that Ronald Reagan really believes in and would work for the principles of the American Party and for restoration of the Constitution of the United States. Sincerely, FROM DUST BOWL TO FLOOD AREA When it comes to stretching the imagination you just cant beat the federal government! Example the City of Grantsville (Utah) was nearly have a century overcoming the federal designation and public image as the Great A large dam, Dust Bowl. (nicknamed Ethiopan Dam) was federally constructed during the extreme drought of the early thirties to conserve flood waters that never came. Now (with no additional moisture) the federal government has designated Grantsville as a flood area," requiring special home owner flood Forces in- surance which must merit the most flagrant insurance rip off of the century. Unless we convince the federal government to reverse the designation, Grantsville. with flood insurance coverage, can now look forward to a half century of overcoming the designation and image of Great Flood Area. Respectfully, perversions gain their aims, it will be the death knell of the Church. For Communism and religion are incompatible. I do not understand Secretary of the Treasury Mr. William Simon Dear Si f: As we have money still owing to us from the first World War, and also from the second World War, could you give me the amount of these debts that are carried on the treasury books as assets, and also any debts that have been written off as uncollcctablc and to which countries these loans were made? Also has any country other than Finland ever paid their loans to the United States and have any loans been settled for less than their actual value plus interest. Respectfully. Harold R.
