National Expansion at Rapid Pace Fresh Ammunition For Tax Cut Bid By JOSEPH R.COYNE Associated Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Government economists say the nation's, economy, rebounding strongly from recent strikes, is expanding at a pace that will convince Congress of the need for higher taxes. Reports of surging personal income, production and home building and a sharp drop in unemployment came too late Monday to do the administration any good during the congressional session which ended last Friday. But the economic data now in for November paints a bullish type of picture the government experts had hoped for when Congress considered President Johnson's proposed 10 per cent income tax surcharge earlier this year. It should give the administration fresh ammunition when it resumes its bid for the surcharge before the House Ways and Means Committee about i Jan. 22.

The igwidgen eats five except he bones but Claua secretly throws his five pigs in the fire which eats bones and all.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN The Drinking Contest The Pigwidgen could scarce- ly'believe it. While he had eaten five roast pigs leaving only the bones, Claus had managed his five roasts bones, tails and all. "I have won the contest," said Claus. "You must now lift he curse." 'No, no," cried the Pigwid- gen "There must be a drinking contest. If you can drink more than I perhaps I will lift the curse." He rushed out to tiie great tall and ordered the pygmies to bring two urns of chocolate milk.

The urns were so large and so heavy it took 15 pygmies to carry each one. They set them on a cloth-covered table and went off to get the milk. While they were gone Claus said, "Before we begin I would like to step outside for a breath of air." "By all means," agreed the Pigwidgen. "Take your time." Claus went out with Tweed- leknees. He told the elf that it was the fire and not he that ate up all the roast pigs.

"But how can I drink so large an urn of milk!" he groaned, "Drink what you can and do not worry," said the elf. "I shall use my wits as you advised and I am sure I will think of something." The elf scurried back to the castle and left Claus walking gloomily, by the lake. Meanwhile, the Pigwidgen has been busy. While Claus was away the little creature secretly inserted seven hot water bottles beneath his shirt. Then he called for the contest to begin.

Claus sat at one end of the cloth-covered table and the Pig- widgen sat at the other end. Patrick Tweedleknees was nowhere to be seen. "Where could he be?" wondered Claus anxiously. "If ever wits were needed it is now! He thought might somehow dump out his milk if only the elf were there to distract the Pigwidgen's attention. The two great urns were filled with foaming chocolate milk.

It's Here. 1 The hot water bottles burst, spilling chocolate everywhere. They were too heavy and brimming to lift from the table. The only way to drink was through large rubber straws. ordered the Pig- widgen.

Once more Claus looked around for Tweedleknees. The elf was gone. There was nothing for it but to drink. He bent over his urn and sucked desperately on his straw. He drank end drank and drank.

Slowly the milk went down until half the urn was empty. Try as he would Claus could not swallow another drop. He sank back in his chair and gasped, "I have done!" The Pigiwidgen bent over his own urn and made mighty sucking noises. Actually the end of his straw led to the seven hot water bottles under his shirt and not to his mouth at all. The milk flowed from the urn until fill the hot water bottles were full but when the Pig' widgen looked up the urn was still full.

The Pigwidgen blinked in surprise: He began to drink the milk himself. He sucked and he huffed and he puffed and he swallowed and he gasped and still the urn was full. The Pigwidgen's face turned blue and his stomach swelled. four OTASCO Man Soyi OTASCO Make Everyone Happy with PHILCO Suddenly there was an awful explosion.
