There were at least 30 or 40 of them, all pushing, shoving and pulling. The hopper-body would get stuck in a bark crevice; this would bring the whole business to a stop. Some of the ants would be pulling on one end, while the others were pulling against Ihcm. After a great deal of back breaking work they would gel the carcass dislodged and begin again the long, uphill climb. "I could sec what Ihey were aiming at, a hole in the tree trunk about 10 feet above the ground. There were several hundred other ants going and coming out of (he hole. They paid no atlention to the working parly pulling on the dcatl hop per. Neither did any member of the push-pull gang notice Hie hurrying members of the com-ing-and-going group. "I'll grudgingly admit there did seem to be some soi l of un derstanding between Die push ers and pullers and the comers and goers. Each lo his own line of work, il appeared. "Those coming down Hie tree trunk emply-jawed, would often have to detour around the push- pull bovs. but Ihcv never inter fered with (hem, always giving Ihcm plenty of leeway. "The push-pull group finally made il, they succeeded in got ling the hopper right up to the entrance of the anl-dcn. Here again Ihey showed how dumb Ihey really arc, fur the carcass was loo big to go in the small hole. Had Ihey been as smart as they are suposed lo be Ihey would have known that a three inch body won't go into a quar ter inch hole. "But Ihey tried. They made perfect tools of themselves, even blocked Ihc entrance way sev eral limes so the comers and goers couldn't come or go. "Too, the pushers interfered wilh Ihc pullers, seemingly they couldn't get together or coor dinate their efforts, so Ihey pushed the dead hopper around in aimless circles. Once Ihc heavy hopper body rolled over, pinning an ant underneath. With 'an-ac-citlent-will-happen' attitude the others kepi on the silly pushing and hauling. The injured ant limped away. Hood enough for him, I thought, he should have pulled instead of pushing. "As if by mutual agreement they finally began biting pieces from the big hopper and carry ing them inside the hole. This seemed to he work Ihey liked. They look the hopper apart in but a few minutes. Then, ap parently the same bunch dis played their dumbness again. They began pushing and pulling, dragging the skeleton of the hopper down the tree trunk. "It took the anls as long lo pull il down as it had taken to lug il up. They even fell into the same crevices, and again, some pulled when Ihey should have pushed, or pushed when Ihey should have pulled. One very wise ant rode the skeleton down; he never lifted a leg to help. Once on the ground Ihey all dropped the skeleton like it was hot.

Crater Finance Casadt Shopping Center White City 826-2721 FINANCING THE DEFICIT IS KEY TO INFLATION While President Johnson's no-kidding drive for a tight budget is impressive and is virtually assuring passage of the lax re duction bill within 90 days, the hard budget facts still are: The new budget wiil be at a peak for war or peace; the Treasury will become a huge borrower in the last half ot 1964 to finance another multi-billion dollar deficit; the national debt will climb to a new high; the legal ceiling on the debt will be raised again. Nothing Congress will do will change these four (acts. The heart ot the budget story lies then in this one question and answer. .: Will the (act lhat the budget will be splattered with red ink at a time when taxes are being slashed and the econ omy is in a strong rise set off a new round of inflationary price increases, thereby sharply undermine your dollar's buying pow er and its stability abroad? A.: This will be determined by the extent to which the cash to cover the deficit is borrowed outside the U.S. banking system and by whether interest rates are high enough to en courage foreign owners of dollars to keep their funds invested in this country. This may seem lorbiilding financial bafflegab, but you must not (link the explanation, for upon the answer will tlrucml no less than the value of the dollar you earn and save, the eost of all goods and services yon buy, Ihe very survival of today's economic system. In the simplest terms I can manage, here is the explan ation : (1) When the Treasury borrows money lo finance a deficit from non-bank investors individual savers, U.S. corporations, foreign investors it controls the inflationary pressures im plicit in the fact lhat it is pouring many more billions into our economy than it is taking out in taxes. This is because the Treasury is tapping the nation's savings, and obviously savings invested in U.S. securities aren't available for spending and, therefore, don't put extraordinary pressures on prices. All you need do is think of what happens when you invest in a S'J3 U.S. savings bond. As long as you hold that bond, you don't have the cash to spend on things. As it is with you, so it is with Ihe gianl investors who buy billions of the U.S. Gov ernment's lOUs. Also, when the level of short-term interest rates in the U.S. is high enough lo attract buying of our government's securi ties by foreign owners of dollars, they keep their money in vested here. Thev are not tempted to demand gold in exchange for Iheir dollar balances, and thus the stability of our dollar is not endangered. C! Bui when Ihe Treasury borrows money to finance a deficit from the U.S. banking system, il "creates'' new money which lays (he base for inflationary price rises. This is because banks jiisl place a deposit in the Treasury's name on their books when Ihey buy new Treasury obligation and Ihe banks put up only a fraction of their own funds to finance their pur chase. As the Treasury spends Ihe money in its deposit account, the newly created cash flows into the hands of Americans from coast to coast and pushes against the available supply of goods and services. Also, when this rxlra money floods into Ihe economy, it naliirallv lends lo hold down interest rates. The combina tion of low Inleresl rales and price increases encourages foreign owners of our dollars lo take Iheir money home, drain our gold supply, and this endangers Ihe stability of our dollar. In recent years Ihe Treasury has financed our vast deficits primarily outside the U.S. banking system. The Federal Re serve has permitted interest rales to rise and foreign owners of dollars are now keeping their money invested here. Despite our budget deficits, inflation has been curbed and the outflow of our gold has dwindled. Now will come the great test of 10IM-65 a budget defi cit, a massive tax cut. a strong economy. Can we still control inflation and Ihe gold outflow? The dangers will be real, but "I think we can do it." says Reserve Board Chairman Martin, and the While House agrees lhat whatever steps arc necessary to achieve this must be taken. It means: The Treasury will tailor its 101s to attract non-bank investors here and abroad and the Federal Reserve will keep the lid on Ihe money supply. Inleresl rales are on the way up.
