. r THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Oiatoa, S. C, Tliaraday, April 18, 1863 A Three-Dollar Bill? There has been a grreat deal of editorial criticism of proposals to eliminate or re duce the tax deductions now allowed for for th« Monroe Doctrine, had' charged President Kennedy wth “underwritingMeon- tinued Soviet control of Cuba with the arm ed might of the United States” through his order blocking all efforts of “exiled donations, by individuals and enterprises Cuban freedom fighters to liberate their to charitable, educational, and other non- nation from Communism.” profit causes and institutions. The obvious result would be a massive reduction in the money given for good works. But charty is not going to stop, education is not going to stop, and religion is not going to stop. So, if the flood of private funds is dammed, where is the money to come from? Answer: From gov ernment. “It# is conceivable,” said Rickenbacker, “that a president of the U. S. might see fit to temporarily suspend the Monroe Doc trine for immediate strategic reasons. How ever, ... to actively aid in the destruction of the Monroe Doctrine by utilizing his power to protect foreign troops in this hemisphere is inconceivable.” But Fidel Castro spent over an hour- It has been suggested that some of the and-a-half on the radio expressing his ap- proponents of this proposal may want just proyai of U. S. policy. In stopping the U. that, in order to advance a vast Welfare - State program in which ultimately govern ment would do everything, run everything, and be all things to all men. Finally, what virtue is there in any al leged tax reduction plan when it' is accom plished by other plans which would in crease the tax burden, b^h directly, as in the case of the added soci&^ security levies that became effective January 1, and in directly, as in the case of elimination of traditional deductions? If that turns out to be the situation, the nation is being sold a three-dollar bill. S.-based refugee raids, he said, we had ful filled one of ’five points for peace” that he and Khrushchev had agreed on. Among the four remaining to be fulfilled, he said, is abandonment of Guantanamo. Coxeiatence with Castro is now U. S. policy, say the Miami exiles. And what can we soy? Babson Discusses Color Stories Behind Words WIIHam Beserk by S. Penfield Beserker, according to Norse mythology, was a warrior who raged like a madman when he fought.. He spurned "armor and went into battl wearing a bear shirt, from when he got his name. In battle a frenzy came over Berserker. He howl ed like a wolf or growled Hke a bear, and foamed at the mouth. While in this rage, he had incredible strength. He had 12 sons, each as wild as the father. They, too, were called Beeerker. Later, the name was given to any fierce Norse warrior. From the battle actions of the Berserkers came the word “beserk,” which means exhibiting frenzied rage. Light Years From Solvency The President’s proposed budget, which is by far the most important domestic matter Congress must deal with, envisions spending in the $100 billion plus area. If, with it, the also-proposed presidential tax would be the largest in history, including recommendations were adopted, the deficit time of hot war. This, to the program’s supporters, is apparently a problem of relatively small significance—everything will take care of itself and business stimulation resulting from, reduced taxes will on some vague fu ture day take care of all the deficits. They seem to reason that greatei; spending, low er taxes, a Welfare State, and the ultimate in military readiness all go neatly into a reasonable package. Babson Park, Mass., April 18—Here are in teresting questions: Why are beets red? Why is squash yellow? Why are potatoes white? Why is milk white, but water neutral? WHAT ABOUT PHOTOSYNTHESIS? As I mentioned in a recent weekly column, one of the greatest future achievements will be the discovery of how the sun makes the leaves, grass and other things green. This is the color which is best for our eyes. If everything were green, the oculists would not do so much busi ness. Already the interiors of many factories and officers are painted green, and I forecast this may some day become state law. Another important color is white. All raincoats and overcoats should be white . . and probably evening clothes. The wearing of white would greatly reduce accidents to people dossing streets after dark. White shirts should be generally adopted. WHAT ABOUT AUTOMO BILES AND HOUSES? My next automobile will be white. In fact, I may have my " present cars repainted white, coming when builders of houses will have to get clearance from the dty’s plan ning board before deciding on a color to paint houses.

He noted the “very sharp change of pol icy” respecting the Cuban exiles and that ^ the American people have not been ad vised on Administration “objectives” or “plans.” He said he hoped this was not “an endeavor to placate or to appease the Soviet,” but found it “hard to see wjiat other reason there could be.” In Miami, an all-night meeting of the Cuban Revolutionary Council refused to ac cept the resignation of its president, Dr. Jose Miro Cardona, tendered after his fruitless visit to Washington to protest file Government’s crackdown on raids by refugee action groups. The Council, which represents 14 exile groups, stated its “firm decision to continue to fight against the Soviet Castro regime without regard to circumstances” and called on the U. S. to live up to OAS treaties and oust Castro and Communism from Cuba. Earlier, in New York, Captain Eddie Rkkenbacker, chairman of the Committee goods.

THE FUTURE OF TV Remember ... a few years ago it was to be color television that would be the great new in dustry that would lead our ecenomy out of the wilderness? But then came the sputniks the space programs ... and while the missiles aoar- cd, color TV never did get off the ground. However, word is getting around in top com mercial circles that 1963 will be the big year for TV’s trek to color. 1962 saw color TV sales start rolling . .. across the 400-000-set mark and dou ble in 1961. 1963 could see dollar sales of color moving up close to the halfway mark in relation to black-and-white sales. I personally do not look at TV except for a few special programs. I prefer to use the time in reading my favorite newspapers and magazines. While the radio and TV program editors have been making their “shows” more attractive, no inventor has increased the length of days or made made it possible to cut down a man’s re-1 quired sleep. * Now laLme say a word about the movies. If the movies will keep absolutely free from advertising, there will always be a need for good movies. AIR CONDITIONING POSMBIUTIES It is rumored that certain air conditioning or heating companies are experimenting with the use of Color to make a room cooler or warmer. If successful, this will result in another gadget for the utilities people to sell, as it should use more electric power. One thing is certain:—Very interesting de velopments are in test tubes and on drawing boards today which will appear in advertisements and shop windows tomorrow.
