Action Seen Early In '64 On Tax Cut WASHINGTON (UPI (-President Johnson didn't get one of the big Christmas presents he wanted from Congress an $11.1 billion tax cut but it probably will be delivered early in the IfltH election session. The Senate Finance Commit tee is under heavy pressure to I speed up work on the House passed priority measure when it I returns to closed-door drafting 1 sessions Jan. 8, the day alter Congress convenes for its sec ond session. In effort to clear the bill by late January or early February, the tax-writing group may elect to delay action on a host of amendments and start voting on the bill itself, section by sec tion. The effect would be to hasten the task of drafting the final version instead of devoting time to amendments which add new matter to the already complex, 320-page measure. Under a tit for tat agreement. Committee Chairman Harry F. Byrd, D-Va., promised Johnson he would clear a hill "in due time" next year. In return, Johnson agreed to give Byrd an advance peck at his new budget spending requests and to econo mize wherever possible. In seven days of desultory ex ecutive sessions before the holi day recess, the committee added about $95 million in extra tax relief to the bill, barely put a dent In the stack of 56 pending amendments, and never voted on any section of the bill itself. Still to come is action on rale cuts effecting every American taxpayer and business. Also ahead is work on the many structural changes in a tax code once described by noted tax at torney Louis Eisenstein as hav ing "all the earmarks of a con spiracy in restraint of under standing.'!

James Stone, an Air Force in structor from Amarillfl. Tex , assigned to Kingsley Field: On the road leading to Kings ley Field is one of tbe many l small businesses in this lumber ing community. This company finishes rouh lumber to be used in the building trades. They allow people to collect the small, irregular reject pieces to be used as firewood. A thm, little old man. stooped from his many years of hard la bor, struggled with a burlap bag. He had filled this hag with the scrap wood and was lifting it to his .'boulders for the long trip home. This scene was enoush to bring tears to the eyes of Sgt. James S. Mullins 'another in structor from Amarillo assigned to Kingsley) as he approached in his car. Pulling to the side of t h e road, he stepped out of his car and greeted the old timer. "You have quite a load, haven't you?" "Yes," the old man replied, "It is quite heavy when you are 83 years old." "How far are yi.u going?" inquired the sergeant. "I live abcut eight miles from here," the elderly gentleman said. "I just happen to be going your way," the Air Force man replied, and invited the man to ride with him. Turning his car aiound and heading toward the old man s home, the sergeant heard a courageous story from a proud man. The wood was needed to heat his home, and despite his age, the man was determined to provide for his family. During the next few evenings, Sergeant Mullins, who heads a Boy Scout troop, taught two of his young scouts the meaning of the spirit of Christmas. They Vhauled wood to the old man's house, building a stack of fuel 15 feet long, four feet high and four feet wide. It was their way of providing a very Merry Christmas for a deserving old man.
