But it has claim for congreisional support shared by few major legislative cnacl- merits of the-past it Congress' own product. the House Ways and Means opened tax reform hearings Feb. 18 it was acting on ils own initiative.

No request for legislation had been filed by the Nixon adminislra- or left by the Lyndon B. administration. There had been for a year an insistent clamor in Congress for closing what were termed tax- loopholes. It grew louder after Johnson proposed the income lax surcharge as an anti-inflationary measure. Ways and Means Chairman Wilbur D.

Mills, sup-' ported Johnson's request but promised Congress the surtax would be followed up by action on tax reform. The bill that goes before the House Wednesday is the result. Specialists in the Johnson Treasury had worked up extensive reform proposals. But they never adopted by Johnson. He left them for his successors, without, comment.

They passed on, 'by'request, to tho. Ways and Means Committee', also without comment. Somo found their way inio Ihe tax bill.

Two aging senators in what may be their final terms, He- publican John J. Williams of Delaware and Democrat Clinton P. Anderson of New Mexico, appear to hold the key to the long, intense struggle.

Neither has stated a position, and opponents' concede they need at least one of the two to attain the 51 votes required for a majority. "It's one of those things that could go either way," Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana said in an interview. The showdown will come on an' amendment by Sens. Sherman Cooper, and Philip Harl, lo limit the ABM to research-its present and bar deployment or site acquisition. It would not cut the $759.1 million earmarked for the system.

Sen. Warren G. Magnusoti, D- D-Alaska, who has declined to state a public position. But 50 voles would r.ot be- enough'to carry Ihe day, assuming all '100 senators vote, since the amendment then would fail on a 50-50 lie vote. Vice President Spiro T.

"Agnew could vote in case of 'a tie, bul his vote against' the amendment would be largely symbolic since the is" (he latest to amendment already would have those listed as backing this amendment, bringing its known to 49. And the two senators believe they also have the backing of Sen. Mike. Gravel been blocked. Williams, 65-year-old four- term veteran who has announced his retirement when his present terni ends in 1871, re- fuses to discuss his views, although he says he has mads up his mind.

Last year, he supported a similar- Cooper-Hart amendment, defeated 31-28, and also voted to cut site acquisition and construction funds. But many Senate observers think it unlike-" ly he would cast a vote that would defeat his party's national Anderson, 73-year-old onetime secretary of agriculture, has played a diminished role in Senate affairs since illness left him with speech difficultiei Subscribe To The GAZETTE LEIGH'S CAFETERIA Regular Hours 11:30 A.M.

Is it proper procedure for Ihe Rural Police to call someone end him to come to Ihe courlhouse lo pick up a warranl taken out against him for non-support? B.P.

B.N'.B.' A. Dr.

A. C. Dawson, executive secretary North Carolina Education Associalion, said tile complaints received from teachers blis been greater than normal this'year. The continuing coniract for teachers was restored by the IM7 General Assembly. Restoration of the continuing coniract was expected lo help matters since teachers were assured of contract for the coming year unless otherwise by registered Idler prior lo the end of school.

Dr. Dawson said the Inherent weakness Ihe present system Is that boards ot cducallon can still (crmfnale a teacher's employment-wlihouf citing a reason. The continuing contract law simply requires that a teacher be notified of dismissal, but It docs not require that Ihe board clle any reasons. Dr. Dawson said (here been, numerous cases where the procedure for firing Ihe teacher Is questionable.

He sahj the N'CEA will do all wllhln its power to protect the rights of Us members. One of these rights, he said, is not to be iircd without Just caase ami without the use of proper and ethical procedures, lie however, that Ihe ullimaie answer to ihe problem Is the enactment of a tenure law for teachers. Such a (aw was proposed In the 1967 and 1969 General Assemblies but failed of enactment. 'Charles W. Pearson, president of NCEA, said lhal until Ihe day comes when North Carolina has a tenure lair, Ihe NCEA will protect -Us members by persuasion if possible and In the courts It necessary.
