Editor JAMES P. HEAL, Full-Tim- - is coasting. But perhaps the Senators are rushing unduly in view of the sentiment for keeping Congress on the job while there are those war clouds to the eastward. Certainly it does seem foolhardy to adjourn with 10,000 Marines sitting on a foreign trouble spot, even if the solons were not consulted as a body. It is argued they could get back quickly if needed but pehaps not quickly enough for an Administration already impatient of Congressional restraints. Adjournment in a time of crisis places an already weakened Congressional authority in So (D-Ark- has proposed legislawould implement and by which Congress support this ruling. And the overwhelming tion . o fthe editorial comment says, mass in effect, that the ruling is indefensible, amounts to an attack on free dom of speach and violates the most basic Con- future- - stitutional principels. The comment, moreover, generally stresses the fact that the issue goes far beyond anyones belief or disbelief in either public of private power. What is at stake is the right to freely express ones and. most impartant of all, the publics opinions right to know. These rights, obviously, will be woefully weakened and emasculated if the exercise of them is to result in a heavy tax penalty. The Saturday Evening Post ran a long editorial opposing the ruling, in which it said it exadvocates-I- t pected to arouse the ire of public-powe- r then added: '(But the principle involved requires (R-Conn- (D-Fla- frank statement of what such ruling can mean to y not merely for advertising, or even advertising in general, but for freedom to freedom, public-utilit- ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo IE 3D 3D M SAIL IE MDdiSTT !( The Old Settler . By Albert 1 S' WE '7 r i r - i 1 - My dear San Juaners: We didnt want a bird in our home; we had no need for him, 'no use for him, no place for a cage; no time nor inclination to be bothered with caring for him. We knew a bird would be nothing bpt a nuisance, and we would have been knowing it yet if something unusual had not happened. Something unusual did happen: it was wash day, and my wife was hanging clothes on the line when a bird came down from nowhere and lighted on her shoulder. She took him in her hand and brought him in to where I was writing. She put him again on her shoulder, and after sizing up the new situation, he flew on my head to tromp of benediction his into my understanding, and getting down on my collar, he began combing my hair with his hooked beak. It was simply astonishing that little blue parakeet with a brain no bigger than a bean, yet in his tiny head was something closely akin to intelligence. And love was there, as pronounced as if he had been as big as a horse. Without a word of consultation about what we should do, we borrowed a cage, bought a supply of bird seed, bird gravel- cuttlefish bone and a book on how to care for birds of his particular per suasion. My wife called him Kelly, and as Kelly he marched without challenge right into the sanctum of our affections. We talked to him and followed him around as devotedly as ever two little kids followed a white kitten. He could nt speak English, but with his friendly little noises, and his friendly little ways, he made us understand, and we believed he understood us. With the little fellow perched on her finger in front of her face, and looking questionmgly into her eyes, my wife said, ,kiss me Kelly, and he put his bill to her she had had him repeat it a number of times, we said, "Of course he knows what he is doing, and what it means. We had of course to write about him to our children and grandchildren, and one of our daughters sent us a fine cage . . The very next morning, when we gave him his interval of freedom in the front room, some one unthinkingly left the door open, and Kelly flew out and across the street to the top of some tall elms. We rushed over there- - all in a fluster, and caught sight of him beak and climbing, parrotlike, claws among the little limbs, and bird-whispe- PUSH BROOMS KITCHEN BROOMS WHISKBROOMS - LINT BRUSHES ALL THESE BROOMS ARE MADE BY THE BLIND SALE CONDUCTED BY MONTICELLO LIONS Proceeds To Be Used For The Sight Conservation Program lips-Afte- much-appreciat- sponsored by MONTICELLO LIONS CLUB OGOOOQGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO A proposal having strong support calls for a series of annual reductions in personal and corporation income tax so that at the end of five years both would have a ceiling of This projosal is embodied in introduced by Reps. legislation and Herlong .)

This came from Rep. Mills as head of the House Committee which orginates all tax legislation considered by Congress. He expressed his views in commenting on legislation to give special tax relief to small business.
