vitality and economic growth at a maximum is equally as important as matching Russia's missile development The Soviets would be happier to see us destroy ourselves than shower our cities with hydrogen bombs There is growing dissatisfaction with an income tax structure which penalizes hard work risk-taking and achievement Inadequate savings arc a road block against progress Yet as Mr Herlong says government seems to be looking backward instead of forward attempting to stop inflationary trends by choking off national growth House Bills 9119 and 6452 propose income tax reductions which would moderate the impact on individuals and small business The sponsors believe these cuts can be made up by revenue accruing from economic growth Hearings are being held now Since government seems less and less concerned with the individual even though its own welfare can he no greater than that of the mass of individuals I'd suggest yon writ your congressmen to seriously consider the benefits of these hills At this moment we have less to fear from Intercontinental ballistics missiles than runaway inflation which can end in collapse NOTES ON A SHABBY CUFF: Had my first round over the Diplomat

write tailor-made stories He sits behind his desk His assistant who will probably inherit his job sits opposite Between them are several telephones and no schoolgirl can keep them as busy as the men on the city desk THE CITY EDITOR KNOWS approximately what time the big trial of today will recess who the witnesses are expected to be and quite often what they will testify He knows who is on the skids at police headquarters and who at this time ran do no wrong He knows the policies and the politics of his publisher and although the city editor may not subscribe to them he will defend them in
