Wayne Morse (D-Ore.), said here Friday night that "bus inessmen should be joining, not opposing, labor in trying to get business back on the track." Morse, speaking at a testi monial dinner for District President William Smoots of Workers, said: "I personally am at a loss to understand why business men throughout the country have not joined with those of of us in Congress and with labor in urging an immediate cut in personal income taxes to put these dollars where they will do the most good into the hands of custom ers." Has Much to Lose He said "business in Ameri ca has as much to lose as labor from economic col lapse." Morse said he had co-sponsored two income tax mea sures in the Senate following the leadership of Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Ill.). One would cut each taxpayer's taxes by $50 and the other would raise personal exemptions from $600 to $800, he said. "On April 14, Dr. Arthur Burns, and his colleagues on the economics faculty at Co lumbia University . went far beyond the measures advocat ed even by myself and Sen. Douglas," Morse said.

We extend congratulations. TREAT YOUR TREAT WITH A $25 7: Attended On a dairyman's car we no ticed this sign: If you must drink and drive, drink milk and stay alive. More truth than poetry, we would say. Which reminds us of what a young Englishman gave as a definition for cigarette smok ing: "Fire on one end, fool on the other." This, in turn brings to mind an editorial in the MT of April 11., relative 'to the law regarding minors smok ing cigarettes and - people selling or giving them to minors. This harmful habit is so common among teenagers that we thought perhaps the law had been repealed. We remember some 50 years ago when the law was being plan ned that Judge TouVelle tes tified that about 90 per cent of the delinquent juveniles brought into his court were cigarette smokers. Both editorials, the one in the high school paper, and the one by E. A. are com mendable, and we hope they were read by those who may be guilty of furnishing minors cigarettes, and those who may be thinking of taking on the habit. We had it for several years, and know it required a two years battle of 365 days each, to completely get it out of our system. .

Power ful forces inside the Eisen hower administration are warning against any quick ac tion to halt nuclear testing, it was disclosed Saturday. Key officials of the Atomic Energy commission and de fense department plus some influential nuclear scientists are said to be convinced that the United States will have to continue nuclear tests "in the interests of national se curity" after the spring summer series in the pacific. Those arguing for contin ued tests maintain that the United States must not jeo pardize its security to make propaganda or match Rus sia's conditional offer to halt tests. They say more tests are vital to the development of a nuclear warhead for U. S. intercontinental ballistic mis siles.
