" Social Security arid Taxes A Don't look now, but social security taxes went up Jan. 1, ironically enough the start of an elec tion year when both parties will speak hopefully of some easing of the tax bite. , Wage earners making $4,800,- the maximum annual earnings subject to the tax, will find that the new 3 per cent rate means a total outlay of $144 annually $24 a year or 46c a week more than under the old 2-1,4 per cent rate. And the end still is not in sight. Even without further legislation, social security taxes by 1969 will siphon off 9 per cent of the base payroll (4-y2 Per cent each from employer and em ployee). ' Here's the statistical story of social security tax progression : Cal. Year Employee Employer Self-Em.

Adding to the dilemma is the knowledge that the venerable Old Age Trust Fund has been feeling the pinch of Con gress' generosity. The fund's net assets, accumu lated in previous years, totaled about $21.6 billion on June 30, 19o9, but receipts failed to meet ex- penditures in the past two fiscal years (the def icits were $216 million billion in fiscal 1959) and an $87 million deficit has been forecast for fiscal 1960 the year end ing next July .1. r The Social Security Administration's board of trustees believes the deficit should be the last in the foreseeable future and assures that the fund is in "approximate actuarial balance." I AWM AKERS ir search of ways to raise more revenue to finance more benefits are expected to consider further increases in the amount of wages subject to social security taxes. Economist Seymour E. Hams of Harvard Uni versity recently submitted, a study to the Con gressional Joint Economic Committee suggesting that the maximum earnings base be put at about $9,000. If this were ever done, a $9,000 a-year man in 1969 would be paying $405 a year in social security taxes, with his amount. E.K.K. Our Place in the Space Race The House Science and Astronautics Commit tee isn't going to waste any time about investi gating the state of the nation's space program. lhe committee, headed by Kep. Overton Brooks (D-La.), plans to begin extensive hearings Wed nesday, the day Congress convenes. Democrats have given top priority to probes of the "space lag" during the 1960 election year. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson, chairman of the Senate Aeronautical and Space Sciences Committee, is expected to announce his plans soon for a similar investigation on the other side of the Capitol. JOHNSON'S group was the last to put the Eisen hower Administration on the blast-off pad. A special subcommittee report last July 18 charged that U.S. space development efforts, both mili tary and civilian, had been handicapped by ad ministration failure to develop a "comprehensive" long-range civilian-military space. program. New grounds for criticism likely will be found following Russian successes in hitting the moon with Lunik III, launched Oct. 4. U.S. moon-shot efforts, meanwhile, were largely disappointing. A FOUR stage Atlas-Able vehicle launched 26 from Cape Canaveral, Fla., failed to make it to the moon .when premature splitting off of a plastic nose sheathing caused disintegra tion of the upper stages. Inasmuch as no back-up vehicle for the com plex Atlas-Able was available, the only way to attempt the feat again in the near future will be to divert an Atlas booster from some other civilian or some military project that already has been labeled essential. E.R.R. Search for Two Planes Pushed Hamilton AFB, Calif.-UPD- Pilots searched again in the Sierra Nevada today for two missing planes carrying five persons. A third plane carrying Cali fornia fliers was discovered Saturday in Utah. Still missing was a private plane from Seattle lost Dec. 27 while on a flight between Oroville, Calif., and Reno.

The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper; in fact the contrary is often the case. Will Something Be Done? To the Editor: After the lack of response to my let ter about road conditions in this and other areas, I can only say that I feel like the fellow whose wife came into the kitchen and found the maid sitting on her husband's lap. "Well', she says, "I'm surprised". "No, my dear", says her husband, "I'm sur prised, you're amazed". I am amazed that there was only one letter in reply to the one I sent in. Thank you, Mr. Van Horn. Since Oregon in general and Medford in particular are not ed for their splendid educa tional institutions and schools, I feel reasonably sure that this letter was well read. I can only conclude that there is no one interested enough in the problem to try and get something done. We all show the proper re spect for warnings that are given us about not eating cranberries that are suitably processed because they would kill you in about 45 or 50 years (if you ate them . three or four times a day) and we smoke filter cigarettes like mad 'cause they reduce the tar and nicotine and we get our chests x-rayed every now and then to see if we are in tip top shape. I wonder if we are taking these precautions so that we will be in condi tion to drive our cars and then get killed or seriously in jured because of inadequately kept roads. I could go on for another page or so, but there is not much use in beating a dead horse, is there? I would like to relate an incident that I would rather have not seen on the morning of 29 December. I don't really mean that I would like to: I should say, I think I ought to. I happened to be at the scene of the accident that took four lives, just north of Eu gene. There were four young people killed outright and the fifth was critically injured. There ages were 21, 22, 20, 21 and 23; just at the threshold of life, you might say. It is impossible for me to describe the horror. Absolute horror. Think of the misery of their families. When I came back south some ten or twelve hours later, the highway was well sanded. It was not there at the time of the acicdent. If it was, . I couldn't tell , it. How about the accident at Phoenix the same morning. When will something be done? The first paragraph is meant to be descriptive and certain ly not humorous. Lionel H. Guy 314 Laurel st. Medford.

To Be Kind To the Editor: Those who love animals are in select com pany. Space does not permit the naming of all the great men who, over the years, have manifested love for and shown keen interest in horses, dogs, cats and kittens. Robert E. Lee had his fa mous Traveler, proud gelding of the wars. George Washing ton had his Arabian stallion, three kittens and two dogs. Thomas Jefferson had 31 head of horses and, in addition, five Maltese cats and three Great Danes. The stables at Monticello are still as they were when the Sage of Monti cello held forth there. Mon roe cared deeply for his pet Maringo, a dog. F.D.R. was de voted to Fala, the Scotty. Her bert Hoover loved Laddy Boy, the collie, and Thomas Edison admitted his love for his two dogs and two cats. Kings, potentates and princ es, from the earliest periods of our known civilization, de creed severe penalties for those who dared abuse our domestic friends. Even the cruel Prussian, taking a page from the crHeler Mongols, os tracized those who were found guilty of mistreating the less er creatures of God's creation. Poets have written of the horse, the dog and the cat, and philosophers have moral ized on the wisdom of our four-footed friends. Greek schools taught humane edu cation centuries ago and so, too, did the ancients of Persia, Babylon and India. "For after all, the one meaning of life is to be kind" -Abraham Lincoln. Cat Care P. O. Box 3 Medford. Ph. SP 3-5091 Guests To the Editor: A year ago, I wrote a letter to the Trib une about two young ladies who were inspecting a new house which I was painting in Medford. They didn't think three bathrooms and two swimming pools were enough for a family of five, especially Foreign Notebook: Plans for Summit; French A-Bomb; Radar By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor From the foreign editor's notebook: Summit Strategy: Soviet diplomats quietly are setting up the strategy Premier Nikita Khrushchev if they got guests coming. Maybe it ain't, but it's a lot better than a family with seven kids, and having six guests arriving unexpectedly. You ain't got but one tin washtub in a sod bathroom 3 ft. x 3 ft., space back of the iron cookstove which burns buffalo chips. You are fresh out of buffalo chips. There ain't no water in the rain barrel, stored in the shade of the old cottonwood tree, under a pile of tumble weeds, 250 yards from the house. The windmill is busted and there never was much water in the well. That's a bad situation, but it's a little easier than trying to shoot a rocket full of monkeys to the moon. You got to hitch the mules to the wagon, go out on the prairie and gather a load of buffalo chips, and unload them in the barn. Go get the empty rain barrel, drive . down to the South Platte River for a bar rel of water to store under the cottonwood tree. Then drive back to the barn and take a wheelbarrow load of buffalo chips to the kitchen. Back to the rain barrel once again, and pack 10 buckets of water to the house. Put the washtub on top of the stove, dump the water in the tub. Start the fire, thrown in some chips and pack the ashes out. Turn around, go back to the barn, unhitch the mules, feed and curry them, and milk the cows. On your last trip to the kitchen, take an arm load of buffalo chips, throw some chips in the stove, take the ashes out and start supper, while the guests are taking their bath in the tin washtub, back of the : iron cookstove. The next morning, you ain't got no more buffalo chips, you ain't got no water in the rain barrel and the windmill is busted, but you got six clean guests sleeping in your bed. Everett Acklin, Ashland, Ore. Important Letters To the Editor: Attached are copies of two important let ters, one from Col. W. L. Win- egar, district engineer, U.. S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the other from Leo L. Laythe, regional director, Fish and Wildlife Service, both of Port land. These letters point up the fact that progress continues to be made in this important field. Also, this is the first example, so far as we know, where provision for the fish ery, as a major beneficiary, has been included in the over all study. These letters also bear out the high degree of cooperation now being extend ed by the agencies involved, and that they are doing just what they promised the peo ple of the Basin last summer. As we go into the New Year, the Rogue Basin Flood Control and Water Resources association will continue its important work and study of the Rogue Basin, as well as performing that necessary function of liaison between the people of the Basin and the Agencies - both Federal and State - working on the overall Basin study. The Association wishes for you a satisfying and success ful New Year and at the same time expresses deep apprecia tion for the stories you have carried on the Basin progress during the past year. Bill Jess, Chairman Rogue Basin Flood Control and Water Resources Association Rt. 1 Box 346 Eagle Point, Ore. Editor's note: See story on Page 1. Kilroy Was There To the Editor: During the last twenty odd years, you and I have, time and again, found that the sign maker had long anticipated our ar rival. This has included everything from the unblush ing appeals for Pills and Chewing Tobacco to the crude pictographs left by the first advertisers, Prehistoric Men. Wherever our feet or vehicles have taken us, we find, to our chagrin, that someone has been there before, with a sign. No doubt, Man's effort to influence Man, will be further extended into Space, which prompted the following: Little Julius, at School, heard that Dr. Edward Teller, the eminent Scientist, when asked what he expected to see when he landed on the Moon, had sardonically re plied: "Russians!" Worried with the disquiet ing news, he confronted the household Fount of Wisdom and received this reassuring answer; "No Julius. It will not be Russians our Scien will use at next May's four power summit meeting. He is understood to reject in ad vance any "package dealing" which would lump Berlin and Germany together or any at tempt to link a German peace treaty with disarmament. The Soviet diplomats say each are separate questions. The Soviet Premier also will take the position that withdrawal of troops from Berlin substan tially was agreed upon in the four-power Foreign Minister's conference in Geneva last summer. He will propose In the Day's News By FRANK As you read your news papers and listened to your radio and watched, your TV on New Year's Day you heard a lot of rosy predictions about this new year that is begin ning.

Madden P.O Box 476 " Phoenix, Ore. Mine Hunts To the Editor: One of the main attractions among the prospectors and miners living on the California deserts in wintertime are "lost mine hunts," sponsored by the "old desert rats" and the more romantic-minded fortune hunt ers. The plan is to stage a round up, or ratr er form a circle after leaving their vehicles at the nearest place of some des ignated road or trail before starting out on foot. The most likely locality is chosen where there is always a reasonable chance of re-discovering some old lost legendary ledge, vein or ore chute carrying gold values. - Some discoveries are re ported to have been made by this method as well as a day of fun. There are such places to be traced out yet in Jack son and Josephine counties. The best part of the year for this kind of mineral searching in southern Oregon is the early . part of spring when there is most likely to be am ple water for panning sam ples in the little draws and gulches.

There's a lot that's wrong about this modern world. There's a lot that's wrong with our modern America. But it isn't all bad. And the people aren't all bad. The things that are clean and beau tiful and good aren't all being ignored. IN PROOF of this, I'd like to cite the 71st annual Tourna ment of Roses whose parade, as this is written, is still wend ing its way through the streets of Pasadena. It was cold in Pasadena last night. At 1 a.m., the mercury dropped to 31. It was still cold at daylight. But when the pa rade began a million persons lined the route. The crowd be gan to assemble early. By mid night people were packed tightly along the streets the parade would follow. Small fires were built again the curb- mgs in empty gartage cans and other metal containers. Hundreds of persons curled in sleeping bags on lawns bor dering the route, or slept in folding cots at the curbsides, Parents and children were wrapned in all manner of brightly colored blankets, Teenagers kept warm by danc ing on the streets to music from portable radios. ' Typical viewers," ; interview ed by reporters ; looking for human interest sidelights were the Glenn Van Meters, from Riverside.- They arrived at 8 last night. The two Van Meter girls spent the night in sleeping bags while their par ents burned pressed wood logs in an iron fire pot and brewed hot chocolate. And so on through the long hours of the chilly night. THE Pasadena Rose Parade is a lovely and inspiring thing. For sheer beauty, it is one of the wonders of the world. So far as is known, there is no payola connected with it. No rackets. No obscenity JUST BEAUTY. A S ONE who refuses to be- lieve the world is going to hell in a hand basket, I'm glad of what happened in Pasadena last night and ihe early hours of this morning, The modern world isn't all bad.

Asia Nightmares: With trouble threatening in neighboring Laos, one of the things that give U.S. military officers in Thailand the "creeps" is the almost total lack of adequate radar instal lations. "They could hit you without your knowing it," was the way one officer sum med it up. No Hurry: Chancellor Konrad Aden auer's government does not in tend to be stampeded into banning all right-wing parties as result of the recent put break of anti-semitic acts in West Germany. Insiders say the government quietly will start work on stamping down the more hot-headed right wingers known to hold anti Jewish views. Banning of th right - wing parties, these sources say, merely would drive them underground and make them harder to control. At the same time, it would open the government to charges that the West German regime is not truly demo cratic. While retaining basic freedom of speech, the gov ernment is expected to make an example of half a dozen leading anti-semites the min ute they step out of line. This would have the two - fold effect of showing the world that the government is de termined to stamp out anti semitic acts and of demon strating the same conviction rather more forcefully at home. Trouble Spot: Despite denials, there are persistent reports of deadlock which could delay scheduled independence for Cyprus on Feb. 19.
