A VERY REAL FEAR
When the tax reduction bill came up in the House a
potentially important amendment was offered. In effect,
it would have required the President to submit a budget,
cutting expenditures for the next two years below the
level now planned.
This was defeated, but by the comparatively nar
row margin of 226-199. And now numbers of Senators
are said to favor postponing action on the tax bill until
after Mr. Kennedy submits his next budget message. In
other words, they want to see some signs of economy in
government before approving any tax cuts.
This is indicative of the very real fear that exists
among members of both parties that blank check tax re
duction, unaccompanied by cost reduction, could bring us
to a disastrous fiscal situation. And the polls show that
this fear is reflected to a large extent in the minds of the
public at large. If soaring deficits should set off a major
new wave of inflation—as some leading authorities think
is almost certain—the loss in the dollar's purchasing pow
er would far offset any tax cuts. Then, beyond that ,the
weakening of American prestige and economic power in
todays chaotic world would compound the disaster, to
unknown dimensions.
The probability is that it will be mid-November be
fore the Senate Finance Committee begins executive ses
sions on the tax bill that passed the House. And those
who think that reductions in nonessential federal spend
ing are an absolutely essential are going to swing a lot
of weight.

By Dan Halligan
DEAR DAN: Maybe you’ll print my letter because I’m sure
it may do some good for some girls. This is mainly for the girls
of 15 and 16 who say their parents are too strict because they
can’t date every Friday night. What they don’t realize is that
a girl can be too popular.
I was allowed to start dating when I was 13. I was large for
my age and looked older and boys in high school began notic
ing me. Mom and Dad were silly enough to give in to my coax
ing and at 14 I was dating every Friday and Saturday night and
could have boys over to the house during the week. I went
steady twice as a 14-year-old. If I was able to twist my parents
around my little finger, my second steady was able to to the
same to me. He was a junior and before we had been going
together for a month, we had been intimate.
His parents were seldom home and instead of going to the
movies or to a dance as I told my parents, we usually headed
for his house and spent several hours in his room.
We didn't have any problem when we broke up and it was
by mutual agreement but if I thought life would be the same, I
was badly mistaken. I’m not saying my ex-steady told about
us but it wasn’t any secret in school about our house dates. So,
when I found myself playing the field again, I also found my
self being asked out by boys who had no respect for me.
I didn’t realize it at the time and was even proud of myself
because all my dates were with juniors and seniors while my
friends, those who could date, were going out with boys in our
class.
To make a long story short, I soon realized the only way to
keep a boy’s interest (certain boys) was to cooperate. I got by
with everything through my 15th year but at 16, my luck ran
out.
All my lies at home caught up to me and the worst thing of
all happened. I became pregnant. This may sound like a broken
record, Dan, but if it helps a girl, just one girl, I won’t feel so
sorry for myself.
I’ve had my baby and she’s already been adopted. I’m stay
ing with my older sister in another city and even though my
parents come to see me every other week, they don’t feel the
same toward me. I feel dirty and used and I guess I always will.
What I’m trying to say is this: When parents permit a young
girl too much freedom, she is going to have to make her own
decisions. I realize now that a girl, regardless of her upbringing,
knows right from wrong and if she takes the wrong turn, she’ll
regret it for the rest of her life.
* * *
DEAR DAN: Help. I’m planning a Christmas party and I
want to know if I should invite my ex-steady who in now
going with a friend of mine. Actually I would be inviting her
and since only couples are being invited, I know she would
bring him. Would it look funny to the others if he was in
cluded? Some of my friends know I still like him. —Party
Planner.
DEAR PLANNER: It might look even "funnier" if you
didn't include your friend. You can't continue to be
stand-offish toward the boy so have him along, and quit
worrying.
* * »
DEAR DAN: How can I encourage this boy to kiss me good
night? We’ve dated five times and all he does is shake my hand
and walk away quickly from my house. I’m discouraged.
—Ginger.
DEAR GINGER: Five dates proves the boy likes you
and if you'll be patient, the hand shaking will cease.
The boy wants to kiss you goodnight as much as you want
him to but it's a matter of courage.

I tell a few war stories — just like the rest. The censorship of good
taste and modesty makes my experiences pretty drab. But Jerry thrills to
them. He’s proud of his Dad’s Purple Heart! *
My son would be amazed if I were to tell him the stories we never tell;
our thoughts as we hit the beach . . . what it was like in those jungles ...
what war does to its dead ... and its living.
And in other ways Jerry would be amazed; for he doesn’t know me
as a man who prays often. He can’t realize the depth of my Faith. He
has never met the brave chaplain who brought me in when I was hit
I’ll never tell Jerry aU of it. 1 don't think God wants me to!
