Bills A-Poppin’
In the U.S. House
WASHINGTON UP> — What this
country needs is more imported
cork stoppers, fewer potatoes, a
national lottery, and a balanced
budget.
It could also use a Department
of Urbiculture, Vitamin A in its
non-fat dry milk, colored post
cards, more three-day weekends,
a new version of the Star-Spangled
Banner, and Grandmother’s Day.
These, at least, are gaps in the
national scene noted by members
of the House of Representatives
who have rushed to fill them in
the opening moments of the 88th
Congress.
Some 2,000 bills have already
been introduced in the House. They
deal with almost every subject
imaginable, including using Social
Security records to locate runaway
parents.
This is a suggestion of Rep.
Abraham Multer, (D-N.Y.), who
could function pretty well as a one
man legislature. He already has
173 bills in.
Rep. Samuel Stratton, (D-N.Y.),
would like more holidays to fall
* on Monday and has a bill making
that the official day for observing
Washington’s birthday, Memorial
Day, Independence Day and Vet
erans Day.
Besides Grandmother’s Day, there
are those who think we should
observe Shut-Ins Day, Purple
Heart Day, . Food Service Week,
Senior Citizens Month and Welded
Products Month.
Rep. Lindley Beckworth, (D
Tex.), is fearful the new higher
postal rates will prevent elderly
pensioners from communicating
with their families. He is seeking a
colored penny postcard for strictly
personal messages.

Georgia Professor Says
Juvenile Delinquents
Would Help Road Program
ANCHORAGE W — A Georgia
Institute of Technology professor
has suggested to the Greater An
chorage Chamber of Commerce
that “screened” juvenile delin
quents from other states be allow
ed to take part in Alaska road
building and receive state land in
compensation.
Alaska has much land, few roads,
and a small population, and such
a plan would benefit the nation
and the state, said Dr. Robert
Scharf, a professor of social sci
ences.
“America needs Alaska,” was the
title of his talk at the weekly Cham
ber luncheon Monday.
Scharf prefaced his suggestion
with the remark that he was not
proposing creation of “another
Siberia,” and said, “I’m a little bit
scared to express this thought.”
During the 1960s, several million
youths with insufficient education
will come into the national labor
market, Scharf said. They will
find it difficult to find jobs and
many of them will turn to crime,
he said.
Georgia’s institutions for way
ward juveniles are overcrowded at
the present time, said Scharf.
“Here is a place to build some
thing,” the professor said of
Alaska.
“Those kids (juvenile delin
quents) are not bad kids—they are
good kids,” he said. “They are
looking for someone to give them
a helping hand.”

Businessmen Say Tax
Cut Would Be Shot In
The Arm for Economy
NEW YORK UP> — Many busi
nessmen feel that reductions in
federal spending should go hand
in hand with an income tax cut.
Some businessmen expressed ap
proval of President Kennedy’s
proposal in his State of the Union
message Monday for an income
tax slash totaling $13.5 billion over
three years. They saw it as a shot
in the arin for economy.
But others called for a balanced
budget or at least a cutback in.
spending.
“Obivously, tax cuts are welcome
and we earnestly hope they will
be matched by cuts in federal ex
penditures,” said Joseph Shaw,
President of Associated Industries
of New York State.
W. P. Gullander, President of
t^e National Association of Manu
facturers, said he agreed with Ken
nedy “on the urgency for tax ac
tion which will release the drags
on the economy.” But he disagreed
with the President’s plan to give
more substantial reductions in the
lower income brackets than in the
higher ones.
The stock market found added
stimulation in the tax proposals and
continued its rally in heavy trad
ing. Stock prices closed at their
best levels after word of the
speech’s contents got around.
