AND FOR ADDED SAVINGS GREEN STAMPS pendiins: ILeveS Bs Where Tax Cut to Start, Stone Says If this country's tax bill is to be cut, it must be done at the spending level by cutting the cost of govern ment, Willis E. Stone, Los Angeles, declared yesterday in a talk' to members of the Medford Kiwanis club. Stone, chairman of the Na tional Committee for Eco nomic Freedom, stated that the cornerstone of the prob lem is the restoration of con stitutional protection for pri vate enterprise. He seeks this end through a proposed 23rd amendment which would for bid, the federal government from competing with private enterprise and would repeal the 16th (income tax) amend ment. "As cost of government goes down, so do taxes," Stone emphasized. Predicts New Power . Stone predicted new "eco nomic purchasing power by taking government out of competition with its citizens putting it in its place as a moderator. Such action, he maintained would restore to government the affection of its citizens. The speaker, president of the American Progress foun dation, asserted that the 16th amendment broke down the power of the states and that with it the federal govern ment began to expand all out of shape. He said that the appeal of the income tax was not for the "needs" of the government but for its "wants" and that the revenue from the tax did not reduce the cost of government but ballooned it. "We are almost a trillion dollirs in debt," according to Stone. Stone mentioned the idea of the income tax as soaking the rich but brought out that "60 per cent of the tax hits the little guy." Not Spelled Out The government of v the United States was predeter mined to be limited but limi tations were not spelled out in the Constitution so the first 10 amendments, the "Bill of Rights," resulted, Stone stated. He pointed out that economic freedom has not been so defensible as free doms listed specifically in the Bill of Rights. Stone described (he 23 rd amendment proposal as a means of clarifying ana repairing the principles of the Constitution. Stone spoke of the "enor mous expansion of federal government into fields it has no right" to participate in. He charged that "millions of tax dollars are going down the drain" and that this is "a high price to pay for bu reaucratic monopolies." The one-time industrial engineer said that the government is engaged in more than 700 cor porate activities, competing with private enterprise, with out Constitutional authority. Believe Found Answer "We believe here is the answer you have been look ing for," Stone remarked, in telling his proposal to Ki wanians at the luncheon at Rogue Valley Country club. He said that no passion is involved but' hard, cold fact. "It's nof true we've never had it so good; weVe always had it better," according to Stone. We are in a mess," Stone declared at one stage of his talk. ' He also mentioned that "the tenderest part of the hu man anatomy is the purse." been introduced into Congress as House Joint Resolution No. 23, would not only abolish federal income taxes but would prohibit ' the govern ment from competing with private enterprise. Committee Chairman Stone spoke at SOC under the auspices of the Volunteers for Constitutional Govern ment of Oregon, Inc. He is chairman of the- National Committee for Economic Free dom, president of the Ameri-J can Progress Foundation and is affiliated with the Organ ization to Repeal Federal In come Taxes, Inc. Stone's proposal, designed as the 23rd amendment to the Constitution, would repeal the 16th amendment. He devoted most of the 40 minute session to reviewing the fight for freedom waged by early Americans. However, literature con cerning the facts of his pro posal was distributed to stu dents as they entered the au ditorium. Resolution Text m Following is the text of the resolution: "Section 1. The Govern ment of the United States shall not engage in any busi ness, professional, commer cial, financial or. industrial enterprise except as specified in the Constitution. "Section ' 2. The Constitu tion or laws of any state, or the laws of the United States, shall not be subject to the terms of any foreign or do mestic agreement which would abrogate this amend ment. "Section 3. The activities of the U.S. Government which violate the intent and purpose of this amendment shall, within a period of three years from the date of the ratification of -this amend ment, be liquidated and the properties and facilities af fected shall be sold. "Section 4. Three years aft er ratification of this amend ment the sixteenth article of amendments to the Constitu tion of the United States shall stand repealed and thereafter Congress shall not levy taxes on personal incomes, estates andor gifts." The proposed amendment already.has been approved by two states, Wyoming and Texas. New Television Tube Features Long Life E 1 m i r a, N. Y., (Science Service) - A new tube for television cameras has been developed that doubles the life, expectancy of any now in use and will bring significant reductions in operating costs for television stations. The im proved image orthicon tube, developed here by the West inghouse electronic tube divi sion, is the heart of the TV camera that picks up optical images and translates them into electrical signals for broadcasting. It has a . guar anteed operating life of 1,000 hours, compared with the 500 hour warrantv offered on ! present orthicon types. Stone, who often emphasiz ed the word "taxes" as if it contained four letters, said that because of federal taxes the present situation "is not for the freedom our founding fathers set up." . The Constitution, he said, is "our cornerstone of freedom" and the proposed amendment "neither adds nor subtracts from the original purposes, of the Constitution." "When you lose control of the machinery of government and it becomes a despot," he! Instrument to Detect Oil Near Perfection San Francisco (Science Service) - An instrument that may distinguish between oil and water and that can give the underground location of petroleum deposits is on the "threshold" of perfection. Sci entists at Standard Oil com pany of California say the in strument will enable oil en gineers to gauge the potential deposit more accurately, thus taking some of the guess out of oil prospecting. Conceiva bly, the instrument may even ferret out producing zones that have gone undetected so far. Called the Nuclear Mag netism Log, it already has ac curately measured depths of potentially productive oil formations. The instrument is housed in a tubular casing and lowered into a well on a long wire cable. In 1840 New Orleans was the nation's fourth largest and second only to New York as a major port.. continued, "then you're in trouble." Urges Study Stone urged the students, and Americans in general, to study his proposal objectively to determine how it would affect the federal government as a whole as well a them selves as individuals. "The American people live on a basis of self-interest," he said. "Today we're at the crossroads." Stone quoted several out standing citizens of earlier days Captain John Smith, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison but saved the oft repeated words of Patrick Henry for his conclusion: "Give me liberty or give me death."

Lung Cancer More Prevalent Philadelphia - (Science Service) - The incidence of lung cancer is now twice as great among middle-aged men as tuberculosis is. Once a leading killer, TB is curable in a majority of cases, while lung cancer is rarely cured. This was indicated by a long-term study by Drs. Kath erine R. Boucot and David A. Cooper of the Philadelphia Pulmonary Neoplasm Re search Project. Six years ago 6,137 men over 45 agreed to have an nual or semi-annual chest X rays and to answer questions about symptoms of lung disease. Because only about five per cent of lung cancer patients survive five years, the researchers, hoped to de tect lung cancer at the earli est possible stage and deter mine whether in these early cases they could increase the present low cure rates. During an average period of six years, 31 men develop ed lung cancer. Over the same period, 16 men develop ed tuberculosis, and an addi tional eight former TB pa tients showed reactivation of the disease. Kentucky Chef Dealt In Real Hot Stuff Covington, Ky.
