la Th-
Day's km
By FRAXK JENKINS
From New York this moraine
The average American will
work two hours and 21 minutes
out of each eight hour working
day to PAY HIS TAXES this
year, according to Tax Founda
tions, Inc., a private research
organization. This, it says, is two
minutes more than was required
in 1962.
The Tax Foundation adds that
by comparison it will require an
hour and 24 minutes of work to
meet housing and household
operations costs, and an hour to
pay for food and tobacco.
Which is to say:
If you are an average working
man, it will take you only 25
minutes longer to earn the mon
ey to pay for all your housing
and household operations costs
and all your foods and your to
bacco than it will take you to
earn the money with which to
PAY YOUR TAXES.
Let's put it this way:
You w ill go to work, presumably
at 8 o'clock in the morning. It
will take you two hours and 21
minutes to earn the money with
which to pay your taxes. That
will carry you up to 10:21 a.m.,
at which hour you will have your
taxes paid.
It will then take you an hour
and 24 minutes to earn the mon
ey with which to pay your hous
ing and household operations
costs. That will bring you up to
11:45 a.m., at which time you will
presumably knock off for lunch.
When you knock off for lunch,
you won't be even with the world.
You still have to earn the money
with which to pay for your own
food and tobacco.
Anyway, you go to lunch.
Presumably you'll knock off fur
an hour.
So, when you get back on the
job, it will be 12:45 p.m. It will
then take you an hour and 22
minutes more to pay for your food
and tobacco.
At that time, you'll be even
with the world, so far as taxes,
housing and household operations
costs and your own food and to
bacco are concerned.
And-
It will be seven minutes after
2 o'clock in the afternoon. You'll
have from then on to FIVE
O'CLOCK to earn the money with
which to pay for all the rest of
the tilings you want to make life
pleasant and agreeable including
such things as going out to din
ner and a show.
And-
Meeting your car payments and
such other incidentals. The big
thing you're apt to remember out
of all this is if you didn't have
to dig up so much in the way of
taxes you'd have more left for
the good things of life that are
what we all work for.
One more thought is apt to en
ter your mind.
It is this:
If our old Uncle weren't such
a frightfully extravagant old char
acter, we'd have more left for
these good things of life.

Aide Blames Press For News Management
WASHINGTON 'UPI' - A top

the real issue in the dispute over
alleged government "news man

Assistant Secretary of State for
Public Affairs Robert Manning
said the basic problem was the
"built-m conflict" between the
government's necessity to conduct
some business in private and the
public's "right and need" to know
what is behind policy decisions.

To Resign
WASHINGTON (UPI)-Lt. Col
John S. D. Eisenhower, 40, son of
the former president, has submit-.
ted his resignation from the Army
alter 19 years of military service
An Army spokesman said today
the resignation was submitted last
week at Carlisle Barracks, Pa.,
where Eisenhower had been ex
pected to begin studies next Au
gust at the Army War College.
Eisenhower has been on extend
ed leave from the Army since
April, 1961, to assist his father in
the compilation of his official pa
pers.
The spokesman said in response
to inquiries that Eisenhower will
receive no separation pay or pen
sion rights. The minimum period
of service to qualify for a mili
tary pension is 20 years.
Eisenhower, born Aug. 3, 1922
in Denver, graduated from the
Military Academy at West oinl
in 1944.
He served as a secretary to the
general staff of supreme head
quarters when his father com
manded the D-Dav invasion of
Europe in World War II. Later
he was lirst operations chief and
then chief of intelligence for the
3rd Infantry Division in Korea
Manning said that "the obliga
tion of a government official is
to tell the truth or, if security
dictates, to button his lip." He
said he knew of no one "inside
or our outside government who
disputes this."
"I suppose many might accept
the slogan: 'Better misled than
dead' a slogan which does not
represent State Department pol
icy or mine, and which I fondly
hope will not lie jerked out of
context," he declared. He added
that in his view "falsehood is un

Even the bells themselves arc

Fewer and fewer people appear

skimpy medical bulletins become

Three Klamath Falls
young rookie fireman, Don Crownover, 24, saved an
elderly roomer's life in what Fire Chief Geno Gheller
called one of the worst house fires in the city in years.
Trie home of Mrs. Leona Boyles, 220 South Fourth
Street, was gutted by flames that apparently started near
a wood pile in the cellar before 3:30 a.m. Sunday.
Mrs. Boyles and a companion discovered smoke
pouring from the house when they returned from a dance
at the Ragles Hall at about 3:20 a.m.
Two elderly roomers who were sleeping upstairs at
the time got out of the house safely when city firemen
arrived a short time after.

Gheller, utilizing all his men,

The men did a good job on a

difficult to fight," he added.
Firemen had to tear at the walls

the hidden flames once the ini-

weren't able to leave the scene
