He held that the cry-for relief to the schools was tacked onto the sales tax agitation as a blind by forces working throughout the nation to shift the tax burden to citizens least able to pay. "If the people again rote the sales tax down, the next thing they (sales tax proponents) will have a school for blind mice or some other damn thing," the sen ator declared. "We're interested in our schools but we're also in terested in the people who work. "The 'interests' are afraid we'll follow in the - footsteps of . some countries . and take - from those that have. To ward that off, they want in this country to enact scheme whereby those least able will have to pay." PRICE WILL TEH Oscar E.

(P) In reporting the senate hearing on tho Copeland food and drug- bill on 'December 8, the Associated Press stated erroneously that Arthur Kallet,- secretary of the consumers! research, had said that Senator Copeland, (D- N.

Mr. Ballet's exact words, as shown by the official record, were as follows: "The senator's fourth broadcast in the series took place last night following the close of the first day's hearings. . .
