The price of gasoline will double before June 30. . . . Del Monte has quietly advised its jobbers to expect a shortage of canned vegetables this year. Former Israeli Defense Minister General Moshe Dayan and former Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban have signed a contract with an American lecture agency to make lectures for a fee of $3500 and are booked for five lectures per week for a year. NOTE: the lecture fees will not be contributed to the Israeli Relief Fund. . . . General Dayan s son, who is of draft age, is not in military service in Israel. He is a novelist who is trying to peddle movie scripts in Hollywood, London and Paris. Fairfax County (Virginia) no longer gives polygraph tests to new men because Negro applicants cant pass it. The quality of Fairfax County cops is becoming about equal to Washington, D.C. cops. . . . Rabbi Baruch Korff is converting his committee to save Nixon from impeachment to another peoples lobby. This one will be called, United States Citizens Congress. . . . Watch for FBI Director, Clarence Kelley, to be moved out in some way. The coming Rockefeller dictatorship must have total and unquestioned control over all enforcement agencies, including the FBI, and Kelley like Saxbe is too independent. . . . What sealed Saxbes fate was his comment about Jewish intellectuals being communists in the 30s. No Administration in American history has had as many Jews in top positions as Fords, and under Rocky it will get even more so. EVEN INFLATION IS TAXED Inflation tax you pay on the money you have, that gives value to the money the government doesn-- t have, but spends. Its the tax you pay to pay for deficit spending. Inflation makes 100 cent dollars into dollars; but if you sell for two dollars what you bought for one 100 cent dollar, youve got a dollar profit and youll have to pay a tax on it. And, those dollar profits add up and keep pushing you into the higher rate brackets where the taxes get bigger and bigger. And you didnt think all those federal budget deficits meant anything to you? Didnt think they could affect you personally? So you havent protested against federal deficit spending, yet? is the SO-ce- nt 50-ce- nt COMPANY MUSIC Across CRIME from Salt Palace PIANOS GUITARS MUSIC INSTRUMENTS REPAIR-RENT- Suit INCREASES, ALS lohq City, Utah 14101 WINTER SAVINGS SPECIAL CITY Gun Buying By Women INTERNATIONAL by Jo Hindman Copyright 1975 Is Increasing by Paul M.

Already this year that number has been surpassed. Cranston does not file its purchase permits by year, but officials there agree there has been a substantial increase. Both Coutcher and Cranston Police Chief George Coffey say the rise in gun purchases is a normal reaction to the spiraling crime rate. The increase in weapon purchases has been steady during the past few years, Coffey said. There is a lot more crime and people with a gun feel they are better protected if someone invades their homes. But the people who sell the handguns werent as anxious to talk about the increased sales. A Cranston gun dealer, who said he sells almost solely to police, greeted a reporter with a string of obscenities. Since his partner behind the counter was wearing a pistol strapped to his leg there was little further Both Coutcher and Coffey say that as policemen they are not a overly concerned with the lyUiid liberal in crease in handgun purchases, Baltimore had a costly although Coffey says he would brainstorm recently.

The biosphere announcement reportedly trickled down the management chain from national to local level from the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture through channels in the U.S. Forest Service to Region 6.

A xerox copy of the teletype received in Bend head- quarters now rests in the Three Sisters Ranger Station files at the town of Sisters in central Oregon at the foot of the Cascade range. Personnel at the ranger station regard the biosphere memo as being just another study which may never materialize. One assistant believes that the national wilderness Act will protect the area from indiscriminate entry by international research teams. Citizens do not share the professional complacency. The protection of the environment has been taken out of private hands, turned over to the bureaucracy. Witness the coastal zone preserves, the land use restrictions that follow streams, river Prebanks and lake shores. emption of local laws by national of laws, international laws the distressing national panorama is all too real to citizens.
