decision to stop giving them our money would be immediate and automatic? Wouldn't you? Well, brother, you'd be wrong'

Instead, Mr. Hollister, our giveaway chief, told reporters that it "may be possible to taper off economic aid to Europe in the coming months." Logic and common sense must have shrieked at that remark. ***

Doesn't that make you gnash your teeth, to remember that, without your consent, they still take a cut out of your earned income to send to those nations who are enjoying a boom? fs it any wonder that Governor Bracken Lee, of .Utah, has announced that he is going to refuse to pay his personal income tax this year, because, he says, "I believe that it is unconstitutional for this nation to tax its citizens for the support of foreign nations."

It was Senator p"a vr"J"ri""lvho used to remark, when we started the giveaway billions programs, that we should be careful lest the time come when our friends across the seas have to be called on to give US money to restore the living standards we may lose in trying to raise theirs.

Speciol Americqn Forestry Service Awqrd lo J. P. Weyerhqeuser' tr.

Honoring his part in the ,conservation of the nation's renewable resources, J. P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr. has been awarded the American Forestry Association's 1955 distinguished service award in the field of business and industry. During the association's annual meeting in Jacksonville, Florida, last month, the president of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company was presented a citation by Robert N. Hoskins, AFA au'ards committee chairman, who commented:

"Mr. Weyerhaeuser has devoted a great deal of time in demonstrating that trees, when properly managed, represent a great and continuing crop that is spelled out not only in terms of wood for the economy, but also in watershed protection, healthful recreation and improved hunting and fishing. By encouraging and supporting long-range industrial forestry programs and in generously sharing research findings and his own vision with others, this leader has exercised almost incalculable influence upon the development of private forestry in the Northwest and the nation."
