The newly formed National Committee on Tax Justice, a non partisan committee composed of Americans condistinguished cerned with income tax reform, had earlier called for an $1100 minimum standard deduction as a relief measure for both poor and middle income families. The Ways and Means Committee adopted a Nixon Administration proposal that would have allowed a special deduction of $1,-1benefiting primarily families and individuals below the poverty line. The tax plan of the National Committee on Tax Justice will save most $6,000 a year wage earners with a family of four $80 on their tax bill. They will pay $370 instead of $450 under present law and the Nixon proposal. The typical worker earning $5,000 to $10,000 per year with a family of four from the proposal of the National Committee on Tax Justice. There is no saving in the Nixon plan for them. In a letter to Ways and Means Chairman Wilbur Mills, Senator Douglas said: You and the members of the committee are to be commended (for adopting the Nixon proposal). We now urge the Ways and Means Committee to take one further step and help those over burdened middle income 00 taxpayers by adopting our complete proposal that provides for a minimum standard deduction of $1,100 for all. This proposal would affect 8 out of 10 taxpayers and bring some measure of relief to' 25 million people with incomes up to $11,000.

Foxes would not rob the hen houses, wolves wouldnt kill the sheep and cattle, and bears would not raid camp ground garbage cans, say naturalists, if man had not changed their traditional ways and tempted them with the more easily acquired foot. Upsetting the balance of nature is a major threat to the nations wildlife. Michael Frome lists 12 animals leading the roll call of the vanishing Americans: the mountain lion, wildcat, badger, wolverine, fox, bear, horned owl, alligator, wolf, fisher and coyote. He calls them The Varmints, Our Unwanted Wildlife, in the title of his new book. Coyotes, called prairie wolves, or in their new home in eastern woods, brush wolves, may do as much good as bad. Like many on the list of condemned wildlife, coyotes eat mostly mice, gophers, squirrels and other rodents which, uncontrolled, can overrun and ruin farms. As one naturalist put it, If we didnt have these so called varmints, America would wade in a sea of rabbits.

Miss Fannin further stated that CAREs goal for the fiscal year is to deliver 35 million food packages in 36 different countries. A CARE package provides nearly 25 pounds of life giving, nourishing food. Contents include U.S. farm' donations and foods bought by the CARE to match local needs. It also adds products donated by private firms such as baby, food and canned soups. Buying, packing, and delivery costs are balanced to achieve the average $1 cost per package. These packages will provide CARE food service to preschool children at nutrition centers to assure their full mental and physical development. They will also be part of hot school lunches as well as being used to sustain the families of villagers while they build needed schools, roads and water systems. If, during this holiday season, you wish to share your blessings with the many who are less fortunate, the CARE Food Crusade is the ideal way of expressing you rconcem, said Miss Farmin. contributions Thanksgiving may be sent to CARE, Inc., 444 Market St., San Francisco, Calif.
