Idea Born In Nov. It was back in November the boys gathered books, andy, foodstuffs and canned oods to send to our fighting men in that remote land. "We didn't tell the boys just what to put in their package," aid Cubmaster William Perk- ns.

'All I told them was to bring whatever they thought the oldiers use--one boy rought in cans of tuna fish-- wcause he liked it and thought he soldiers would too." And so the boys got their ackage off to Viet Nam before 'hanksgiving, with the aid of 3en Mothers who supplied the ame of the area Marine. Each sent a letter along in he package, but one Cub, Don- Id, had included a picture of imself. Maybe this wa.s the reason jrattan had picked Donald to et his note of thanks; apol- gizing a there just wasn't opportunily to write to all 4 bays, although he'd like to. 24 Get Letter Ve.stcrday the mailman de- vercd the letter from Viet and Donald decided a all the Cubs wanted to ex- a i the letter--and they i e'd heller make copies of il.

This was the outlook today the House Ways and Means Committee resumed hearings 01 Johnson's $4.8 billion lax pack age, of which gradualcd with holding is a part. Major compo nents of it are a reimposition, for two years, of automobile and Iclcphone excise taxes that had dropped Jan. 1 and a speedup in corporate tax collections.

Constanline Berdar, native of Watervliel and rector of the Ukrainian Catholic Seminary of St. Josaphat, Wash- nglon, D.C., delivered a special prayer in the House of Representatives Monday in observ- nee of Ukrainian Independence Day.

However, the schedule prepared by Ihe Treasury and written into the bill has come under fire on. the ground it calls for loo much withholding from higher-income taxpayers, with the result that many 'of these would have to apply for refunds ana would have money tied up without earning interest.

Republican members of the committee first raised this objection. A check today indicated substantial sentiment on Ihe Democratic side also for adjustment of Ihe withholding schedule. The Treasury's own explana- iipn of the bill concedes that the number of taxpayers In 000-a-ycar and above brackets who have loo much tai withheld would be increased by the terms of the measure. clitics say the effect would reach as far down as the $5,000 bracket.
