The Wall Street Journal notes on its editorial page that Washingtons current politicians will be wishing on their heirs a problem that generous by calculations amounts to $1 trillion.... The size of the proposal is hard to imagine, for the Social Security trust fund really doesnt makes it clear that it is painfully nonsense to talk of dipping into general revenues to pay Social Security benefits. For one thing, there are no general revenues to dip into, which means either income taxes have to be raised or exist. government more A far-fetch- ed Unsuspecting taxpayers who think their compusory contributions are being held in trust for their retirement have a nasty surprise in store. Current Social Security liabilities now exceed $2 trust trillion, against a fund of $60 billion.

How can anyone seriously propose raising income taxes by $1 trillion 70 of gross national to close the product - - actuarial deficit, or postpone the problem and have future politicians raise $1 trillion plus interest? The truth of the matter is that American workers have been promised money that isnt there. Congress, writes M.S. Forbes, Jr., in Forbes magazine, made no provision modern elementary education, about what the youngsters are learning, in other words. In I960, it cost less than $500 to keep one student in public school for one year. Today it costs $2,000 per pupil. Meanwhile, private schools have kept their cost at $400 per pupil. The standardized tests given annually showed the last batch of high school graduates to be the least profieient in English and math ever tested. The answer is that students arent being taught much about reading, writing and Certainly, the exemption provided to fraternities and sororities for example, lends credence to this conviction, McClure said. According to American Legion officials, 360 boys and 230 girls from Idaho participate in the annual program. Held in Caldwell or Nampa, or at Boise State University, students selected by high schools throughout Idaho participate in a week of training in American Government. The legislation I cosponsored today, McClure said, would extend the current exemption to include Boys and Girls State programs, and that participation by schools will not be deemed as violating Title IX. If all seems so hopeless to you, hope less, work harder, and pray for promise than to pay.... As it is now constituted, Social Security is becoming like New York that Overspending is enough to bankrupt anybody, but overspending by government is enough to bankrupt everybody. arithmetic anymore. With Federal money they are being taught 'how to live from Macos, a study of man according to the gospel of Karl Marx, provided by the Federal government. So, meanwhile, if your own high school graduate cant add or subtract, buy him a pocket computer as a graduation present. If he cant read or write, get him a tape recorder so he can give you lasting lessons about Macos. Forum Indiana South Bend, -- Manion By WASHINGTON, D.C. (Liberty Lobby News Service) Considerable controversy lately surrounds patriotic oriented activities. Just recently on a national televised football game, Banner the was rendered as pop-a- rt and bore little relation to the traditional and inspiring national anthem. Back in January Nashville, Tenn. theater owners decided to stop playing the national anthem before movies. The reason? Fights invariably broke out between those who stood up for the anthem and those who refused. The story received little publicity because the fights were between blacks and whites. This is a small part of the continuing breakdown of national pride taking place in many sectors of our daily lives. Its hardly necessary to remind a Southerner that the South lost the war between the states. And after a hundred years youd think the South would be entitled to retain pride in their own section of the nation. But this pride manifested itself in the song Dixie and the egalitarians claim it was racist, and therefore should not be in schools. A judge so ruled. It shocked many Americans when the Supreme Court outlawed prayer in schools. If ever a nation needed the help of the Almighty, it is now. The recent signing of the Declaration of nerdependence in Philadelphia is simply another example of the mad drive to d, merge America into a atheistic society, for this, they say, will mean world peace and prosperity. The American flag, symbol of freedom and independence.

Psalms 62: 7 long-standi- ng ng quarterback, suffered minor gunshot wounds and 27 other persons were treated for injuries. The school, which is 27 black, changed the name of the teams to the Raiders in 1974 after a U.S. District Judge banned the use of Confederate symbols,, and in this case the name Rebels. The feud, which had been simmering ever since, erupted when a group of white students attempted to raise the Confederate flag. At a time in our national history when we should be proudly pointing to our magnificent technological progress, the standard of living most of us enjoy, the retention of a great many personal freedoms and the survival of this great constitutional republic, far too many of us are more interested in pointing out the defects in our society. Forfeiture of our national sovereignty is not going to solve our problems. If we fail to survive as a nation it wont be because we invented the hydrogen bomb, but because we adopted a policy that no man is responsible for his own moral conduct and his own economic welfare. If the American people are told the truth they respond with patriotism and pride in their country. But they have to be told. Readers comments are welcome.

I was not there, but I understand you took an oath on becoming U. S. Senator to maintain and defend the Constitution of the United States. How do you do that, Senator Hatfield, and ask for submission to "regulation by international authorities" and"international supervision?" Are you a hypocrite nr. .lust an out and out traitor? In case you don't know, Senator Hatfield, the author of this treasonous document, Henry S. Comaager, is one of the most hysterical bleeding-hear- ts in the entire academic world in his denunciations of loyalty oaths, security statutes and committees investigating subversion. He has been affiliated with numerous Communist front organizations and he has been a national officer of the American Civil Liberties Union, that motleyed collection of defenders of subversion, crime end licentuousness.

The American Legion each year sponsors the Boys and Girls State Program, which gives selected Senior High School students a week of intensive training in government.
