Jefferson WHAT GOVERNMENT GIVES, IT MUST TAKE AWAY The bnnefirpmre of the federal government when it Sociul Security and welfare beneftiis a Hnnre and a delusion. No government, federal or state, can give away one dime in aid that, it: does not, collect in taxes. Unfortunately, HIP amount returned to welfare and Kwial Security is diminished by the costs of administration. Political promises to provide sustenance and jobs for the unemployed depend on Hie government taxing power.

We are, or should be, our brother's keeper. Where to draw the line between the poor those deserving of help and the work dodgers and welfare rocketeers is difficult to determine. Politicians who promise annual gifts to all are making increased taxes inevitable. Political give-away programs should be looked upon with scepticism. J-l.

P. F. In Washington Who Reads Declaration? By Ralph deToledano was once the custom, when this country was smaller and more conscious of its nationhood, that men and women would gather in the town square on the Fourth of July to hear the Declaration of Independence. Today, Hie New Left speaks frequently and gaudily of that Declaration, but does it read it? Or, for that matter, do we? The radicals of today cite tfie Declaration of Independence as a charter for revolution, and they are not challenged because no one troubles himself to go back to that document. If we did, we would leam to our surprise that it is no license for revolution.

On the its thesis is against the revolutionary changes which King George and his ministers were attempting to make in the British system of written and common laws. It was to preserve that system that the signers proclaimed the necessity "to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the separate and equal Station" to which they were entitled. Even this step to maintain a statue quo which the British Crown was attempting to overthrow was long debated, and the framers of the Declaration stated very clearly the reservation that "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes." The Declaration, in fact, stated but one aim, that the colonies be "absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown." In the long bill of particulars against the British "Tyrant" the framers of the Declaration of Independence asked for no rights or privileges'not granted to the people whose consanguinity with the Americans the document averred. That hill of particulars repeatedly stresses the nature of American grievances not in terms of revolutionary change but in the deprivation of what had theretofore been established: He has combined with others to subjest us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our Laws For abolishing the free System of English laws For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments For suspending our own Legislatures He has excited domestic Insurrections amongst us For depriving us, in many Cases, of the Benefits of Trial by Jury These arc the charges made against the British Crown in the Declaration and none of them are revolutionary. The only truly revolutionary particular the Declaration arraigning the Crown for encouraging the slave trade, "an execrable commerce" was deleted from the document by the committee which reviewed Thomas Jefferson's draft.

As men brought up under English law and respecting the British system, they believed in "Life. Liberty, and Property" last later changed to "the Pursuit of Happiness And as Englishmen, they believed that these unamenable Rights" were the endowment of a Creator whose existence those who carelessly wave the Declaration today deny. The Declaration of Independence, then, was in a non-pejorative reading of the word a reactionary documen a reaction against the loss of rights which 8 revolutionary monarchy was attempting to perpetuate. 2f? in its bill of particulars today, ound charge against Bn George that be had "erected a Multitude of new Offices" and sent out "Swarms of Officers to harrass our People and eat out their Substance" words our Congress' mjgbt take to heart. Perhaps on this Fourth of July, when freedom and av synonymous and when the civility which the Founding Fathers sought has been almost forgotten, the Declaration of Independence should be canfyOy read on television prime time and even rnoro explained.

Instead, there will be much rhetoric from those least interested in the preservation of those rights to which the framers, "with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence," pledged their ttvw, their fortunes, aad their sacred honor. Whoops! DEAR ABBY: That woman who signed herself "Cheated" because she had small bosoms doesn't know when she's well off. I was a size 42 at the age of 13, and it was agony. The boys stared at me and some of them even made indecent remarks. I had a hard time getting clothes to fit me.

I could never wear sweaters or knits. And bathing suits were out of the question! (I always pretended I hated the water.) To make matters worse, I was barely five feet tall so you can imagine how conspicuous I was. My bra straps used to cut into my shoulders until I could hardly stand it, and I even became stoop-shouldered from all the weight I was carrying up there I cried myself to sleep many a night. At age 33 I solved my problem with surgery, and now I By Abigail Van Buran feel like a woman instead of a freak. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

CHEATED WITH TOO MUCH DEAR ABBY: Some lady wrote that her problem was the feeling of insecurity and inferiority because she was flat- chested and her husband couldn't keep his eyes off women with big breasts. You suggested she see a doctor about having hers enlarged. You should have told her to send her husband to a doctor to have his head shrunk! Men who go overboard for big bosoms are just little boys who are still looking for Mama. WASHINGTON STAR READER DEAR ABBY: I thought maybe you would like to hear from one man who doesn't measure a woman's worth by the size of her brassiere. And I am sure there are plenty of other men by THOMAS JOSEPH ACROSS 1.

ONE MAN'S OPINION DEAR ABBY: I have had silicone implants to make me "feel" more like a woman. (One can look more like a woman with a padded bra, which I wore for years.) I am glad you advised that woman who was considering such an operation to talk it over with her husband instead of "surprising" him after the surgery. Some husbands are opposed to it. I don't know if H's a universal policy, but my plastic surgeon positively refused to give me silicone implants wthout my husband's written consent. At first he refused to let me do it, but after he spoke with my doctor and learned more about what was involved, he agreed to let me do it.

It's no picnic. And it's expensive. (Mine cost $1,400.) But it was worth it. 36-24-35 Problems? Trust Abby. For a personal reply, write to Abby, Box 69700, Los Angeles, Calif.

Tammy and her daughter are African lionesses at the San Jose the only lions in the United States on the birth control pill. Zoo curator Peter Batten has had Tammy on the pill for the past three years as part of an experiment to cut down on the number of lion cubs.

The eight- year-old lioness has given birth to five litters, each of four to six cubs. "I just don't want to get in the situation of having to destroy the cubs," he said. There is no ready market for them and they are "generally destroyed the day after their cute little baby pictures appear in the newspaper," he said.

What happened was I went out of town last weekend, thinking I would be back early enough to turn out a column when I returned from my travete. So I came back from Chicago last Tuesday afternoon, walked into my office, and found myself confronted by a huge heap of new subscriptions which had come in while I was playing hookey. As a consequence, iristead of sitting down and writing a column, I first had to sit down for three hours and write up subscriptions, THEN I wrote this column. I was strongly tempted to skip the whole thing for one day, but then I had visions of people writing in and canceling, their subscriptions because this column was missing; and since my primary task here at.

The plot concerns two young men who are struggling to make a success of a magazine an underground "protest" magazine which is strictly against "establishment." Then a beautiful young girl moves in next door and complicates things when both men fall in love with her in spite of the fact that she has curves physically, but mentally she's strictly square.

Isn't amazing how fast when you buy now? One of the funniest records or at least that's the way it struck me to come ailong for quite a while is one titled "Everything You Always Wanted to Hear on the Moog But Were Afraid to Ask For." What they've done is take a number of classics or over- worked old warhorses of the musical field, which ever you prefer and play them on the Moog Synthesizer. Some of the results come out pretty straight, but others are hilarious. Ravel's "Bolero," for Instance, takes up one whole side of the record and conies out pretty much as you might expect aWiough some of the Moog effects are a littfle weird. But "Malaguena" winds up with some burbling sounds that almost knocked me off the chair the first time I heard it I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. And "The March of the Toreadors" in places sounds as though it were being played by a steel band, bet nobody ever played it on steel drums before, but it sounds pretty good at thai.

You know, I was thinking as I listened to some of the cuts it's too bad the Moog Synthesizer didn't come along in the heyday of Spike Jones he could have had a ball wMi all those weird sounds. big problem wHh going through wccnd childhood this timo you can't blamo your when things 90 wrong. Regardless of what you may think of his antics is a better have to admit that at least Bobby Fischer has put chess into the headlines.
