Who Do You Work For?
WHO DO YOU WORK FOR — and why do you
work? The obvious answer, of course is that you
work for your employer or for yourself, and that the
reason you work is to provide the wherewithal of
living.
However, that answer is an oversimplification
nowadays. If you are an average citizen, more than
a quarter of your eight-hour working day is done on
behalf of government. In essence, government is your
employer during that period, and takes all of your
earnings.
Here are the figures, as issued by the Tax Foun
dation: Taxes take two hours and 16 minutes of your
■- working time each day. By way of contrast, food and
tobacco together demand only one hour and 28
minutes, household and household operations one
hour and 24 minutes, and so on down the list.
If you think that taxation and government spend
ing aren’t of top importance to you and your family,
think again !

I'la. Sheriff Guards
Eleanor After
Killer’s Threats
SARASOTA, Fla., Wl — Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, widow of
the war-time President, relaxed
with friends Saturday, apparently
unaware that her life had been
threatened by an anonymous tele
phone caller Friday night.
Mrs. Roosevelt arrived five
hours late due to weather condi
tions and mechanical difficulties
on the plane. She went directly
to a club where a Democratic
rally was being held.
Sarasota County Sheriff Ross
Boyer, who was attending the din
ner, was told that the call had
been received at the club desk.
Tlhe clerk reported a man said
he would kill Mrs. Roosevelt and
State Sen. Ed Price of Bradenton.
Then the caller hung up.
The sheriff called for help, and
seven plainclothesmen guarded all
exits while Mrs. Roosevelt spoke.
After her talk, Mrs. Roosevelt
was taken in Boyer’s car to a resi
dence on one of the keys near
Sarasota where she is visiting.
Automobiles from the sheriff’s
office preceded and followed Boy
er’s car.
A heavy guard was placed
around the residence, but Boyer
said Mrs. Roosevelt had not been
told of the threat on her life. Few
persons at the rally knew of the
threat, and Price did not attend.
He was reported ill at his home.
Southern Congressmen
Prepare for Hot Civil
Rights Debate in House
WASHINGTON, UO — Southern
House members are bracing them
selves for an attempt this week
to complete the Senate’s action in
knocking out a major point of the
civil rights bill.
Supporters of the measure said
they could block such a move.
The southerners may get their
chance to try Monday. Both the
House and Senate were in recess
Saturday.
The section involved — still in
the House bill and therefore still
alive — would make it a federal
crime to interfere by force or
threats with enforcement of a fed
eral court school integration order.
In a quick one-two Friday, the
Senate first adopted an amend
ment offered by Sen. Frank J.
Lausche (D-Ohio) to broaden the
section to apply to injunctions in
labor cases and all other federal
court orders.
Then some strong supporters of
the civil rights bill teamed up with
some southerners to kill the whole
section. Labor groups were strong
ly opposed to having the section
apply to labor injunctions.
Senate Majority Leader Lyndon
Johnson said “The Senate has
demonstrated again that reason
prevails and that it will reject the
extremists. I believe now, as I
have all along, that the Senate
will pass a good moderate bill.”
