He forecasts balanced budget both this year and next, despite needs for in creased spending at home and abroad. But the President, in his State of the Union menage to Congress, mid a tax cut can not be justified until such time as it “trill not un balance the budget" He said all excise taxes must be continued at their present rates and the corporation Income tax ntuxt be continued at the present rate of S3 per cent for another year. Unlegs Congress acts, these taxes are scheduled for reductions April 1. As for the personal income tax. and taxes In general, he said: “Under conditions of high peace time prosperity, such as now exist, we can never justify going further into debt to give ourselves a tax cut at the expense of our children.

Her only weapon is the telephone. Through it she is conducting a “plant the seed of suspicion” campaign. She is probably laughing up her tea cup, but her married vie* tims have taken a dimmer view. ' * She dialc a number, presumably picked at random, from a local phone directory, and'if the lady of the home answers, the eonversaUon would so something like this: "Is Mr.-— at home? I want to speak to him.” If the husband comes to the phone, our heroine hangs up. But if he’s out. this is what she tells the wife: “Tell your husband % tan hot be able to see him as arranged," Jolly, wot? The "voice", who operates out of Birkenhead, Cheshire (Mar Liverpool), does by no means tta£t herself to just one routine. Thii Is how she would work • « Corporal Rommie Williamson, head of the Highway Patrol for Harnett County, sat down to our office yes terday and made out a series of notes covering highway accidents to Harnett in ’55. Hers are his notes: Twenty-seven killed (this is a record). Twenty-four killed in the rural area. - Three killed in ♦V* of Dunn (al by trains). Five hundred sixteen accidents investigated by the State Highway Patrol. Two hundred and thirty-five injured. PROPERTY DAMAGE: $231,477. And Rommie produced the same set of figures from 1954 to prove that, point by point, Harnett had gotten worse. There were 21 persons tolled to ’54. 19 to the rural area, one to Dunn, one to Ullington, 355 accidents, 191 injured. PROPERTY DAMAGE: $146,073. But his notes contained something far more devastat ing than that. Rommie made a sort of time - clock, cover ing the whole year of 1965, showing how death had fol lowed death so quickly, sometimes, that there could havs been a collision of funerals. Hers is his time-clock: * •» JANUARY •—U. 8. SOI, otf Dunn. DEAD: Vannle f of Four OaJa. Driver, her ran into a truck. FEBRUARY 3,10 p. dirt road 12 miles south «f ! ton. DEAD.
