EDITORIAL
WHO MUST PAY?
The head of the Citizens Public Expenditure Survey, a New York organization, has issued an important warning to the people of this country.
It amounts to this: The potpourri of government spending plans now being hatched will have to be paid for by middle and lower income groups—not by the rich.
The reason is simple enough. Taxes on big incomes have just about reached the ultimate—91 per cent at the top. And the people with big incomes are very few in number. Even if they were taxed at a 100 per cent rate in the upper brackets the resulting revenue would hardly make a noticeable dent in present federal budgets.
So, if government spending continues to soar, the man of moderate means will have to pay the bill, one way or another. No one else can. He has no way of controlling public expenditures except at elections when he can vote for or against men and measures that represent excessive extravagance, debt and taxation.
A MOVE IN RIGHT DIRECTION
Orange Coast College's decision, despite protests, to do away with some of the "frills" in its educational program is a move in the right direction.
The board, and rightly so, saw fit to drop such courses as knitting, weaving, dog ownership, good grooming, flower arranging, rug making, wood carving and physical conditioning for women.
The above list does sound something more like a "country club" offering than needed courses in our educational system.
At least this school had foresight enough to admit a mistake and get back to the "basics" of education.
NATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
It has been observed during his campaign, Press Kennedy was critical of personal diplomacy—that is, diplomacy conducted at the lowest levels, by chiefs of a rather than by lesser office.
And the dangers that are herent in personal diplomacy are evident enough—a decem made, a sentence spoken, the head of a government comes a matter of international moment instantly, and it is ceedingly difficult to back. On the other hand, acts of juniors can, if need be disavowed.
Yet Mr. Kennedy has conducted personal diplomacy on an intensive scale with counterparts in half a dozen countries. And this appears reversal of policy, some of leading commentators have been writing, is the result a knowledge Mr. Kennedy gained since assuming office the knowledge that in this credibly swift-moving age person diplomacy is inevitable unavoidable. whatever its advantages may be.
In any event, U.S. policy via visi the Soviet Union has clarified. No transcript of Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Khruchev had to say to each other in Vienna has been published and the authorized summary have been of an extremely general nature. But it is clear
The board, and rightly so, saw fit to drop such courses as knitting, weaving, dog ownership, good grooming, flower arranging, rug making, wood carving and physical conditioning for women.
The above list does sound something more like a "country club" offering than needed courses in our educational system.
At least this school had foresight enough to admit a mistake and get back to the "basics" of education.
It is good to see one school going in the right direction.
We have just raised the national debt ceiling, temporarily of course, to $298 billion. That sounds like a bargain-counter figure.
The permanent debt limit still remains at $285 billion.
This action on the part of Congress has dangerous overtones. Of course, in the Nation's Capital nothing is more permanent than a temporary tax or a temporary debt ceiling.
I filed additional minority views on the subject after joining in the minority statement on the general subject.
In these additional views, I stated that the Congress as well as the general public should know that this annual or biannual action was at best a fiction in view of the fact that the Executive Department and the Bureau of the Budget, as well as Congress itself, never take the debt limit into consideration when making appropriations.
I further stated that it would be more honest and straightforward to repeal completely the basic debt limit so that the people might better understand what Congress proposes to do to their earnings and savings.
If this annual erosion of the dollar should increase by 1½%, you would be earning nothing on your deposit.
Continued annual deficits in the budget will speed up the rate of erosion as it has done in some of our socialistic neighbors to the south of us.
Mexico has had an annual depreciation in its currency of 6.8% and Bolivia, which is about to pass from socialism to communism within the next few months, has had an annual rate of currency depreciation of 37.6% on the declining dollar.
In other words, in the last 10 years its currency has dropped from 100 to one. This means that a basket of groceries which cost $10 in 1950 in Bolivia now costs $1,000.
The way to get the most out of the tax dollar is to keep it at the lowest level of government. When you send it to Sacramento it loses 25% of its value; when you send it to Washington it loses 50% of its value; and if we ever have world government it will lose all of its value. It melts like a cube of ice, passed from hand to hand until there is nothing left but a drop of water.
A truly unified Berlin is virtually beyond conception. The Soviets and their satellites are determined that West Berlin, as a free city with free government, must cease to exist, and must be brought into the totalitarian octopus that East Berlin represents in all its harsh grimness. The show may come soon—perhaps by fall, perhaps sooner.
Then the danger of a shock...
I further stated that it would be more honest and straightforward to repeal completely the basic debt limit so that the people might better understand what Congress proposes to do to their earnings and savings.
If the pending legislation on Housing and School Aid is passed, Congress will have to increase the debt ceiling in January, 1962. The debt will rise to $297.9 billion by the 15th of December of this year, and that does not take into consideration the $700 million deficit in the Post Office Department, which the Administration hopes to meet by increased postal rates, which the Congress will not pass.
We are facing a deficit in the budget between now and June 30, 1962, of somewhere between $5 billion and $8 billion. This will result in the increased cost of living by the inflationary route.
The current annual rate of the dollar depreciation is already running at 2%.
This means that if you have $100 deposited with the building and loan at 4% interest, you will have a $2 depreciation in the value of your deposit and, if you are in the lowest income bracket, you will pay 80% income tax on the $4 earning, leaving you $1.20 net in come for your $100 investment.
Newspaper Wins Honors
A first class rating has been given the Titan Times, Orange County State College's student weekly newspaper, by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association in its semester evaluation service.
It is printed by the Gazette Publishing Co., owner of Anaheim Gazette.
The newspaper received high rating in news coverage and writing, makeup and proof-reading. Particular commendation was given for "eye-catching sports headings and make-up."
The Columbia University organization evaluated fall semester issues of the Titan Times, the first published weekly at the new college. The newspaper was edited by Carolyn Bridge of Anaheim. Don Andersen of Santa Ana was managing editor.
Then the danger of a shooting war will become agoniously acute. It is a risk that Mr. Kennedy appears ready to accept, as a matter of sheer necessity, and all the indications are that the American people, and the leaders of both parties, support him solidly in this resolve. In essence, he says to the Soviet empire: "We have gone this far, and that all. We will go no farther, no matter what the dangers may be."
This hard policy explains why Mr. Kennedy has been working so determinedly to shore up the Western alliance and to resolve the difference between the participating powers. Mr. Macmillan goes along—it is certainly no secret that today, an England without the United States for an ally and a shield would be almost totally defenseless. Yet, within the United Kingdom, and even within Mr. Macmillan's conservative party, there are dissidents. Some go so far as to say submission to the Soviets would be preferable to conflict and to the death and ruin that
NATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
It has been observed that, during his campaign, President Kennedy was critical of personal diplomacy—that is, diplomacy conducted at the high levels, by chiefs of state, rather than by lesser officials. In the dangers that are inherent in personal diplomacy, evidence enough—a decision made, a sentence spoken, by head of a government becomes a matter of international instanty, and it is extremely difficult to take it. On the other hand, the need of juniors can, if need be, disavowed.
Mr. Kennedy has been conducting personal diplomacy on an intensive scale with his waterparts in half a dozen entries. And this apparent insularity of policy, some of the adding commentators have written, is the result of knowledge Mr. Kennedy has used since assuming office—knowledge that in this industry swift-moving age per diplomacy is inevitable and avoidable. whatever its disadvantages may be.

ANAHEIM COMMENT
Silver Service Is Contest Prize
Some local resident will be the lucky winner of an imposing "Treasure in Silver" in Home Savings and Loan Association's exciting new community contest which will see more than $14,000 in prizes awarded.
Registration for the contest, open to adults only, may be made by personally obtaining entry blanks which are available in the association's local office. Closing date is July 31.
For entrants' convenience, the office will be open until 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 1 and 8.
The "Treasure in Silver" to be given away in this community includes a seven-piece tea and coffee service, a pair of three-tier candelabra, a two-quart capacity chafing dish, three different sized casseroles, an oval well and tree platter with a gadroon border, gravy boat and tray, circular pie plate, oval vegetable dish and would come with it. This is a continuing problem, and its gravity should not be under-estimated.
The question mark is President DeGaulle of France. It is generally agreed that he is a very great man. His faith in France's ultimate resurgence never faltered, even in the darkest days of the Vichy government, when he was condemned to death in absentia. But, like most great men, DeGaulle is extraordinarily difficult. He has a vision that never fails him—a vision of France as she used to be, the first among nations, the leader of all nations in home, community, business, national and international life.
how fast they achieve their aim.
This is one raise the public can do without since these machines have been viewed with scorn by other cities and twice rejected by the City of Los Angeles despite field trials in that municipality.
Meanwhile, there's only one thing for Anaheim residents to do about the current raise "craze." That is to send congratulations to school administrators and city workers for their recent pay increases.
Don't forget, just keep asking this coming year and you might be one of the lucky ones July 1 of 1962.
Just keep dialing "S" for more government spending.

Kennedy and Mr. DeGaulle was cordial, productive and of some value. But there is nothing to show that the French President's fundamental and romantic view has changed in the slightest.
Time will tell. And something the President has said has to do with that truism:
"There is very little time. The enemy is lean and hungry and the United States is the only strong sentinel at the gate."
