Oct. 29, national Good Turn Day, Arrowmoon District Scouters will distribute doorknob hangers re minding citizens to vote in the na tional election Nov. 8, distribute clothing bags for Goodwill Indus tries, and give free tickets to the lady of each house good for ad mission to the American Cancer Society film, “Time and Two Wom en.” The national good turn, hanging the 30,000,000 doorknob hangers, is part of a get-out-the-vote cam paign by Scouters during each na tional election year. The hangers, shaped in the form of the Liberty Bell, are to encourage residents to exercise their rights of freedom to vote in the Nov. 8 election. Arrowmoon Scouters are accept ing for their Sam Houston Area Council good turn the distribution of clothing bags for Goodwill In dustries. The Scouts will leave the bags at, each' home Oct. 29. Residents will be asked to fill the bags with discarded clothing and shoes, and place the filled bags on the front porch for pick-up at 1 p.m. Sun day, Nov. 13. “If anyone fails to receive a Goodwill Industries bag, they campus character: BLACKSTONE TORT Pride of the law school, Blackstone has never lost a moot trial.

We should move in the direc tion of eliminating government regulation of the right to produce agricultural commodities. 3. Our farm plant is over-ex panded in relation to current mar kets—including the extraordinary “markets” made possible by spe cial export aids. A sizeable land retirement program is urgently needed as a temporary measure to help farmers make the adjust ments that must be made to cor rect the adverse results of past programs. 4. Where price support and pro duction adjustment programs are used, they should be designed to facilitate orderly marketing ra ther than to fix prices. Price sup port levels should take account of competitive conditions, supply and demand, and market trends. 5. With less interference from government, the marketing sys tem will be freer to operate ef fectively and efficiently. This will encourage the expansion of mar ket outlets and the production of quality products in line with mar ket demands. Thus, farmers can better meet competition at home and abroad. 6. The compensatory or direct production payment approach is unsound and dangerous to our eco nomic and political system. “Regardless of the form in which it is presented, a direct payment program woud be fan tastically expensive. It would stimulate production, increase unit costs, depress market prices, and make farmers dependent on Con gressional appropriations for their net farm income and a part of their production costs as well,” said Shuman. briefs campus character- or just Texas Aggie .... in your relentless search for knowledge, you have learned two things: ■»> 1. briefs are best 2. you can get them at COT].

Methodist Bishop Challenges Catholics To Give Expression Of Responsibility IRS Announces Booklets Mislead By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service said Wednesday the 100 million instruction booklets it is printing for distribution with next year’s income tax forms are misleading in one section. However, IRS said the mammoth printing job is too far along to per mit correction of the questionable information. It expressed hope that no taxpayers will be led astray as a result because a new tax form which is being prepared for use by those concerned—peo ple claiming medical expense de ductions for the aged—will contain more detailed and accurate data. 1040 And 1040-W Mislead The instruction pamphlets for use with tax forms 1040 and 1040W — the types most common ly filled—are misleading in discus sing medical deductions for people 65 and older. Under the law, if either a hus band or wife is 65 or older, the medical expenses of both may be deducted in full, within broad dol lar limits. In other words, tax payers in this category do not have to follow the usual procedure of deducting only those medical expenses which exceed 3 per cent of their taxable income. In discussing these cases, and those of people with dependent parents 65 or older, the IRS in structions say: “In these cases, that part of your medical expense deduction which is attributable to the 65-or-over individuals is not reduced by 3 per cent of your ad justed gross income.” IRS officials conceded that this implies that if either husband or wife is under 65, the 3 per cent rule still applies to the medical expenses of that particular indi vidual. Actually, the rule does not apply. Botched Up The instructions were botched up, officials said, because of an attempt to deal too briefly with a complicated matter. Those who wrote the bookets actually wanted to emphasize that if someone un der 65 supports a parent .65 or over, the 3 percent rule is waived only for the expenses of the par ent. The misleading nature of the in structions came to light after The Associated Press Tuesday reported erroneously that Congress last spring changed the law to prohibit waiver of the 3 per cent rule on the medical expenses of anyone under 65—even if the husband or wife was 65 or older. This statement came from an IRS spokesman who said Wednesday he had been led astray by the misleading instruc tions.

Lord said Democratic nr 4 minee John F. Kennedy, a Roman Cath olic, had made a “completely satis factory” statement of his own views on separation of state and church but there is still some ap prehension among Protestants as to pressure from the Catholic Church. The Methodist bishop volun teered these views at a news con ference which reporters were told was called primarily as a get ac quainted session. The Methodist Church recently transferred Lord here from Boston. As bishop of the Washington area, Lord has administrative du ties in relation to churches in Maryland, Delaware and the Dis trict of Columbia. In his discussion of religion in relation to the political scene, Bishop Lord said: “No reasonable Protestant is op posed to a Roman Catholic in pub lic office because or spiritual or clearly religious beliefs. This is not the issue. Nor do we Prot estants ask for ourselves that which we would not also demand for our Roman Catholic brethren. “What we need to face is wheth er or not an American Catholic Church will state a clearly defined political policy consistent with Democratic principles. “Protestant principles are relat ed to democracy and are seen at work in the historic framework of the freedom this country af fords. Catholicism, coming late to the American scene, must now adapt its authoritarian principles to the Democratic context if it is to be above suspicion.
