The Congressman said a gasoline tax is the wrong way to control inflation because it “pushes the already strained working man and working woman past the financial breaking gallon federal excise tax on point.” "The place to tax gasoline is the excessive profits of the big oil companies, not the average consumer”, Preyer said. Drifters Established Loan Fund At Bennett GREENSBORO Dr. Isaac H. Miller, the president of Bennett Col lege in Greensboro, N,C., recently announced the establishment of a $10,000 Revolving Emergency Loan Fund by the members of Drifters, Inc. “The fund will enable the young women of Bennett who might find themselves in a tight financial situation at some point in their educational career to overcome part of their burden,” explained Dr. Miller. “There are times when students need money to purchase books, for a doctor's fee, or other emergencies which tend to come up unexpectantly. We have cases of students who need fare to go home during one of the several breaks.” The Drifters, a social organization with over 235 members in fourteen chap ters across the country, has already set up the first installment of the three- year fund. “It is most assuring to have this fund established at a time when the general public seems to waiver in its committment to educa tion and questions the dollars which it invests int the private colleges.

A tax of this nature would only have the effect of reinforcing the spiral of inflation and would push the already strained work ing man and working woman past the financial breaking point. It has been suggested that such a tax would encourage greater reliance on mass transportation. An admirable goal, but imprac tical in view of the fact that 78% of the public already is forced to rely on private automobiles to get to and from work because of inadequate mass transit. There is not question that the burden of this tax would have to be borne on the shoulders of those least able to bear it. Mr. President, we stand ready as your copartners in government to fight the battle of inflation and to restore a healthy economy. However, we do not think this proposal is the right answer. three time recipient of a Rockefeller Grant for The ological Education, an award given annually to twenty-five students in the United States and Canada.
