I legislation left prospects bleak today for enactment of a big tax cut this year. Despite insistence by the White House that President Ken nedy wants both bills this year, time appeared to be running out and some lawmakers said it was possible neither measure would be enacted in 19H3. Senate Democratic Whip Hu bert H. Humphrey (Minn.) who said Tuesday that civil rights must come-first, conceded that this could result in delaying the tax cut action until early next year. But Sen.

In a stdy of business drink ing habits Alcoholios Anony mous defines the half man as ' an individual who does not get too drunk to function at sll but who can operate only at had speed with his morning hangover ad his four-martini lunch." Many "htilt men" drink be cause it is part of their job to entertain customers and build good will for the firm. The na tion recently became highly conscious of with men from the motion picture "Days of Wine and Roses," the story of a pub lic relations man who went slid ing down the toboggan toward alcoholism and took his wife along. The Internal Revenue Service says it does not compile statis tics on the total amount of money spent annually on busi ness entertainment. But it does believe the figures are exces sive and recently cracked down on tax deductions for entertain ment. An educated guess would be S50O million a year at the minimum. Lubricate Butiftrts Wheli Not all of that is spent on wiskey and wine, of course, for much of it goes toward expen sive loco, compamonaDle fe males and aisle seats at hit shows. But alcohol lubricates the wheels of business to large extent, and a firm that is criticized for using it has the plausible answer that competi- jtion must be met. Even if a business man does not have the primary duty of entertaining customers, he can run into a day of heavy drink ing through a combination ot circumstances. Herbert Brean in his book "A Handbook for Drinkers" cites the case history 1 of one rough day in the life of ! a man he calls Bernard B.: I He has a big day's work ahead of him and he gets to the office early. He accomplishes a drink, but the friend insists on two and he goes along. He gets back to the office feeling a little dopey and tries to work hard because he has a date to meet a customer for a him a drink and, under urging, takes one himself. If you had asked Bernard ! that morning how many drink, j ' he expected to take that day he i O way they do it is that the president oi (h company gives dintw party tt hi home for the young executive anrt their wives.

And for the soon will become acrusmmtd to taking (ive, six or maybe nine drinks a day, and thinking noth ing of it.

Distributed by King Features Syndlcau Model 620-DRYER Claimants Asked To Contact BLM PORTLAND The Portland land office of the bureau of land management is asking holders of mining claims located in several townships in Josephine county prior to July 2H, 11155, to contact it concerning the sur face rights on claims. Public Law lfi7, passed in 1055. provides for multiple use man agement by the Government of the surface resources ot un patented mining claims so long as it does not interfere with mining operations. The land of fice wants lo know if there arc any unpatented mining claims located prior to the ll5 act, so that rights to timber and com mon varieties ot mineral ma terials can be determined. The law automatically gives the government the right to manage or dispose of surface resources on unpatented mining claims located after July 23. IMS. but does hot affect the rights of mining claimants to prospect and mine their claims. Therefore, verified statements should only be filed if the claims were located before the 1955 act and if the claimant as serts rights to surface re sources. Anyone having an interest in any mining claims in the area may obtatn additional informa tion bv contacting the manager, land office, 710 N E Holladay St., Portland. l 11 ' r,iii,j:.; L.1t HII (8 r t0T J I t SF HATCHING PAIR WASHER & DRYER Filter-Flo wtshcr syitam with 12-lb. capacity and the new high-speed dryer.
