For well rotted pulverized manure 2 HAPPY the cores pack them properly, put them away In quarters provided by the museum, and answer requests for the data they afford. This, however, Is only a partial and unsatisfactory answer. A full-time custodian of cores is needed; all the cores should be together and properly catalogued if they are to serve their purpose.

Senate Minority Leader Knowland (Calif) stressed that only domestic matters were in the picture at Monday's session, but he added that from an over-all point of view: "I don't think there is likelihood of a tax reduction if we maintain a balanced budget and apply some payment on the debt." House Minority leader Martin (Mass) told a news conference that he looks for no important tax cuts unless there is a substantial increase in revenue. Martin held open the possibility of "some small" cuts but said in response to a question that prospects don't seem too bright for the tax relief the administration urged earlier this year for small business firms. Speaking later before newsreel microphones and cameras, Martin said: "I must admit the'prospects are not too bright for substantial tax reduction at this session.

I think tax reduction, if there is any, will be very small indeed." How do fireflies light?

I Kill mi Only 5.16 inches fell in 1924; 6.50 inches in 1928; 5.53 inches in 1947; and 5.34 inches in 1953. The story at the University cf Arizona Weather Station was even worse. The actual fall in 1956 was 5.29 inches short of the 11.11 yearly normal. The UA recorded a total precipitation of 5.82 inches.

Tucsonans did receive some compensation during December for the previous 11 months. Although only .22 inches of rain fell at the U.S. Weather Bureau, and .15 at the UA, residents enjoyed 70-degree shirt-sleeve weather much of the month. The hottest December day was 77 recorded on the 1st, a radical change from the chilly weather that dominated November.

December also saw its share of freezing nights. A low of 26 Dec. 24 lowered the previous record of 28 established on the same date in 1946. The University of Arizona Weather Station reported a low of 25 for the same day and a high of 80 on Dec. 1, but neither were records.

While the average maximum during the month registered in the high Tucson witnessed its coldest Christmas in three years when the mercury registered only 68.

Both the U.S. Weather Bureau and the UA station ushered out the year yesterday with highs of 72, while the lows were 39 and 33 respectively.

January is expected to greet local residents today with little change. The forecast is for variable high cloudiness with an expected high of from 70 to 75. Hottest spot in the nation yesterday was Laredo, where a high of 85 was registered. Mt. Washington, N.H., took the coldest honors for the second straight day with a reading of 33 below zero.f State high and low temperatures yesterday wer: Douglas, 65 and 25; Gila Bend, 67 and 36; Grand Canyon, 53 and 26; Payson, 61 and 18; Phoenix, 69 and 37; Prescott, 57 and 27; Show Low, 57 and 17; Winslow, 50 and 19; and Yuma, 71 and 39.
