“PASS THE POVERTY,
PLEASE!”
The high cost of living is ev
erybody’s worry these days.
Inflation has skyrocketed the
price of food; money is so tight
that individuals and businesses
are finding it nearly impossible
to borrow for investments.
The Administration has ad
mitted that inflation is one of
the biggest threats to our coun
try—and President Johnson has
promised to “do something”
about it. Raising taxes is one
possible “something” that may
affect us all within the next
year. But most taxpayers are
more interested in another so
lution: the reduction of Federal
expenditures.
LBJ has also promised to re
duce unnecessary spending. But
what, you may ask, are some of
the “unnecessary expenditures”
that could be done away with?
That question would take more
than a column to answer. A re
cent Manion Forum guest delv
'd into one particular Federal
program, however, that we
think will interest all taxpaying
Americans. The program is the
Federal anti-poverty plan; the
guest was Mrs. Ralph New
man, coauthor of the book
“Pass the Poverty, Please.”
Where does your money go?
Here is Mrs. Newman’s de
scription of the Job Corps, for
instance: '
“Using Sargent Schriver’s
figures, the cost of educating
one boy or girl in the Job
Corps for one year is between
$9,000 and $12,000. The Job
Corps has ‘graduated,’ in two
years, 28,000 boys. Out of this,
28,000, 515 ‘graduated’ have
found jobs. The total cost that
the taxpayer has spent on the
Job Corps is $278 million. This
means that every one of those
boys has cost the taxpayer a
half million dollars to get a
job.” .
You might consider $278
million a small sum. Add to it
some more of Mrs. Newman’s
findings:
“The Head Start Program in
Mississippi came up missing
about $100,000, and immediate
ly they were given a new grant
of 3.5 million. In Los Angeles,
$200,000 was given to the Trav
elers Aid Society to help poor
people who get lost on the free
way. ”
There is more wrong with
the Poverty Program, however,
than the mere fact that it is
squandering your hard-earned
tax dollars. Mrs. Newman as
serted that: “We are institu
tionalizing poverty. It is really
paying to be poor. How can a
person be motivated to get out
and get a job when they can
make more money by sitting
at home, or, to be blunt, having
illegitimate children? I person
ally know women who have
said: ‘Well, I’ve got three more
to go and then I'll have enough
income per month to live on
comfortably.’
“Can you imagine my shock
when I went into a welfare de
partment and asked, ‘Do you
mean to tell me that a woman
can come in here every nine
months and get a check for her
illegitimate child?' The welfare
man said, ‘Oh, Mrs. Newman,
she has to claim a differerent
man as father every time, or
she doesnt’ get the money.’
This is wrong. This is what is
going on. And when the poverty
program is dishing out philoso
phies that encourage this type
of thing, I am opposed and
angry. ”
You, dear taxpayer, ought to
be opposed and angry too. If
the few examples of Mrs. New
man’s testimony have excited
your interest, be sure to order
the copy of her entire Manion
Forum broadcast (No. 628).

PRESIDENT -NATIONAL
EDUCATION PROGRAM
Searcy, Aiiemaa
FBI WARNS NATION
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoov
er has called the nation’s atten
tion to the fact that for the
first time in its history the
Communist Party USA has ele
vated a Negro to its national
chairmanship. Mr. Hoover con
siders this development a Com
munist scheme to further use
the Negro race in America to
expand civil strife and under
mine our national strength.
Henry Winston, the 65 year old
Negro Communist who spent
the last five years in Russia
(evidently training for the vital
post here) was made national
chairman of the Party at its
recent national convention.
Winston had been imprisoned
here under the Smith Act after
conviction of advocating the
overthrow of the U. S. A. by
violence. Our Government had
released him under pressure
generated by U. S. Reds who
claimed he was blind and
dying. He went immediately to
Moscow where he lived and
plotted with Kremlin leaders.
He returned to America neither
blind or dying.
Resurgent Subversive Force
Mr. Hoover said in a report
to Congress: “This convention
reflected the optimism of a
resurgent Communist Party,
completely loyal to the Soviet
Union, buoyed by the feeling
that it has broken out of its
political isolation and now is
ready for an increasingly
active, concentrated program
of mass agitation in America
society.” In his keynote ad
dress, Gus Hall, , general secre
tary of the Party, said: “We
are a factor in the left stream
of each of the mass currents in
the country.” Other speakers
were more specific. One was
Bettina Aptheker, whom Mr.
Hoover describes as “probably
the most notorious young Com
munist in. the United States.”
When Bettina Aptheker gain
ed national attention w h i 1 <
leading the “free speech” riots
at the University of California
those of us who had informed
ourselves on Communist activi
ties in the U. S. reported that
the UC trouble had been agitat
ed by young Reds — and, as
usual, .we were criticized for
“seeing Communists under
every bed.” Not long after
wards, Bettina publicly pro
claimed her Communism. She
is the daughter of the Party’s
theoretician. She played a
prominent role at the national
convention, which Mr. Hoover
noted as significant for its
“youth accent.”
Aided By Supreme Court
The scuttling by the U. S.
Supreme Court of America’s
legal bulwark against just
such growth and subversive
activities as are now reported
by Mr. Hoover made the 18th
national Communist conven
tion—first national convention
since 1959—a place for rejoic
ing among the leaders and dele
gates. In fact, Mr. Hoover said:
“Recent Supreme Court deci
sions invalidating portions of
the Internal Security Act of
1950 have given the Party the
green light to become more'ac
tive in mass agitation . . .
Speaker after speaker empha
sized that the party must
strike boldly into the area of
political action, run candidates
for public office, participate in
community decisions, meet and
influence non-Communists.”
The FBI Director’s conclu
sions in his report to Congress
should be read by every Ameri
can. Here they are:
“The Communist Party USA
undoubtedly is in a much
stronger position as a result of
the 18th national convention
(held secretly but not out from
under the eyes of FBI agents).
Completely loyal to a foreign
power, the Soviet Union, it re
mains a serious threat to our
national security.
Coal: Revolution in U. S.
“The convention actually was
a ‘coming out party,’ signi
fying a new era in the Party’s
life. Gone now (Editor’s note:
thanks to Supreme Court de
cisions) will be the defensive
posture of an aprpehensive
party, fearing to identify its
leadership and openly work in
our national life. The Party
will now be more aggressive,
seeking allies among n o n -
Communists. It hopes to dis
arm Americans ideologically,
to make them feel that Com
munism does not represent a
danger to our democratic in-,
stitutions.
“Yet all the time the Party
will be idealogically hardening
itself as a weapon of revolu
tion—training its membership
for carrying -put what >* it be
lieves is the ‘law >of history’-—
namely, a Communist revolu
tion in America.”

Income Tax
Information
Q. Our teenage daughter
babysits and saves this money
for college. Should I give the
bank where she has her savings
account my social security num
ber for tax purposes?
A. No. Your daughter earned
the money herself and must
have her own social security
number. Form SS-5, available
at local IRS and Social Security
offices, should be used to apply
for a number.
Q. I’ve made a three-year
pledge to a church building
fund. How much can I deduct
this year?
A. When you itemize deduc
tions, charitable contributions
may be deduct'd in the tax
year they are actually made.
Q. My company is transferr
ing me to another city and they
paid for a preliminary trip for
my wife and me to look for a
place to live. When I was re
imbursed for this trip I notic
ed that taxes were taken out.
Why was that?
A. The amount you received
is not classified as a nontax-
able reimbursement of moving
expenses but as wages. When
you actually move to-the new
location, the cost of transport
ing you, your immediate family
and your household goods may
well be a deductible moving ex
pense. The cost of meals and
lodging while traveling may al
so be deductible. If so, any re
imbursement you receive would
be non taxable as long as it
does not exceed your actual ex
penses.
Q. I just opened a flower
shop and have a truck to handle
customer deliveries. Am I lia
ble for the highway use tax?
A. Probably not. The mini
mum weight for tax purposes
is 13,000 pounds for a single
unit, two - axled truck. This
would exclude the small panel
or step-van trucks used for de
livery purposes.
Q. I just graduated from
nursing school. Will the cost of
my uniforms be deductible for
tax purposes ?
A. Yes it will. Your shoes
may also be deductible too if
they are a special type required
by hospitals.
The key factor is whether
these items are required for
your job and are not suitable
for wear in place of ordinary
clothing.
Q. What’s the story on com
pany pensions ? I retired last
month and got. $125,a month
from my company plus Social
Security. Is this taxable?

fits For Older Americans,”

Q. I just had to cash in my
life insurance policy to take '
care of some unexpected medi
cal bills. Is the money I receiv- |
ed taxable?
A. In most cases where life 1
insurance policies are turned in |
for their cash surrender value [
there would be no new taxable -
income.
New taxable income would :
be involved when the cash re- i
ceived exceeds the amount paid
in premiums. Then the excess
over and above the amount j
paid in premiums would be |
taxable.
Ordinary life insurance poli
cies do not usually produce |j
taxable income when they are
surrendered. Taxable income is
more likely to be realized when
a limited payment insurance
policy, a 20 payment life policy,
for example, is surrendered.
Since you are using the mon
ey from your insurance policy
for medical expenses make sure
to keep a record of them. This
will be helpful when you file
your return next year.

Impala Super Sport Coupe—a dean new sweep in roof lipea.
Now that you’ve seen all the daring new things our stylists did,
get in and sample some of the safest, soundest ideas on the road!
What you feel is as new as what you
see—thanks to all the fresh thinking
that’s gone into the way it rides,
steers, stops and looks after your
safety.
It’s got a remarkable new road feel
—beginning with a ride so hushed
and gentle you’ll feel like calling this
the ’67 Shhhevrolet. The steering
is as much as 10% easier. And you’ll
find the stopping smoother, too.
We put safety features on top of
safety features. For example, an
energy-absorbing steering wheel
atop the new GM-developed energy-
absorbing steering column. A dual
master cylinder brake system with
warning light. And seat belts front
and rear with pushbutton buckles.
All standard, to be sure.
And there’s a new SS 427 perform
ance package—complete with 385-
hp Turbo-Jet V8 and flat-cornering
suspension. You can order it for
either the Impala Super Sport
Coupe or Convertible.
Of course, there are all sorts of new
custom features you can add, too,
such as tape or FM stereo. But if
you find so much that’s new a . bit
too much to remember—drop dqwn
to your dealer’s and take a drive.
ItTl all become unforgettable.
