If any selling should be done, it is to the legislators. Americans reserve the right to protest unjust laws. They must in good conscience do it in order to participate in their democracy.

One of the best ways to sell this idea to our legislators might be to erect signs on all the main highways entering the State, reading "WELCOME TO INDIANA LAND OF Let's not be timid. DONALD F. BACKE 738 173rd St. Hammond. We 9re Tax Apologists? TIMES WASHiyGTOX REPORT Safety For Cosmetics As I went to work June 26, the day our garbage is collected, I took with me my wallet, my bankbook and $36 for September fees.

I must have lost it as I got into my car. The men collecting garbage found it and turned it over to the Street Commissioner who in turn drove out to where I work and returned it with everything in it. He refused a reward but all he were cornered by a group of exasperated taxpayers. Those who pushed through the sales tax said (1) the revenue was needed, and (2) other states have a sales tax, so therefore it must be all right. Anyone with common sense knows taxes are necessary but they also know Indiana is unique in having a real estate tax and a personal property tax which is inequitably penalize persons who are prudent and thrifty and exempt to a great extent the irresponsible and the transients; and Indiana also has an income tax for those who must spend it.

Indiana has a "poll tax" which really isn't a poll tax, because you don't need to pay it to vote, and is therefore not unconstitutional! Anybody who can add and subtract knows that the greater the number of different tax collecting agencies and procedures you have, the more you spend on overhead. (But patronage must go on. Is this the reason?) In your editorial you imply that "people will grumble at any tax" but that "they will accept it if they are convinced that it is necessary." You are not pushing for improvement of the tax structure, but the idea that officials should do a better selling job in order to make people swallow it. It's like using salesmanship on hungry FOR BACK PAINS BACK, HIP AND LEG PAINS CAUSED BY MUSCLE SPASMS SLIPPED DISCS OR PINCHED NERVES CAN BE RELIEVED OR CORRECTED WITH GENTLE CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENTS.

Barry Goldwater lacks a broad popular support.

Sen. Barry Goldwater has drawn more GOP votes in the 1964 primaries than JFK did Democratic votes in the 1960 primaries. They both were entered in 10 states. There are seven states in which JFK in 1960 and Barry Goldwater in 1964 were entered in the primaries. Sen.

Goldwater drew 100,000 more votes than JFK in these states. For the whole 10 states, Gold-water has drawn 372,000 more votes than JFK. Sen. Goldwater, as the front-runner, is calling for unity. This is being denied by the Rockefeller, Nixon, Scranton, Javits and Kuchel factions of the party.

Everybody should write or wire these people, calling on them for unity. We can elect Sen. Barry Goldwater for President in 1964. JERRY GILLESPIE 8402 Walnut Dr. Munster.

By HELEN B. SHAFFER WASHINGTON Recent seizure by U.S. marshals of shipments of three brands of a new wrinkle eradicator lotion has raised the question of bow far the government should go in trying to protect women against their own folly in the search for eternal youth. The Food and Drug Administration has charged the three manufacturers with failing to submit their preparations for approval by the agency as a "new drug." The companies are charged also with making misleading claimj about the effectiveness of the preparations. THE MAN QUESTION to be settled by the courts is whether the new lotion should be classified as a drug or as a cosmetic.

If the former, it is subject to provisions of federal law that require exhaustive pre-testing. of new drugs before marketing, BEAUTY AIDS are much safer to use today than they were before federal controls were imposed in 1938. In the pre-regula-tson era, trouble often resulted from application of cosmetics containing harmful ingredients for example, a freckle remover in which an active ingredient was ammonia! ed mercury, which caused dark blotches on the skin; a hair restorer containg lead acetate, a poison; and a weight-reduction tablet whose ingredients included thyroid extract After the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act became law in 1938, F.D.A. took immediate steps to remove potentially hazardous cosmetics from the market. Within a year, it had caused the seizuer of 85 lots of dangerous preparations and had instituted 49 criminal prosecutions.

and a determination by FDjV. that they are safe to use and will do what the seller says they will do. If the courts rule, on the other hand, that the anti-wrinkle lotions are not drugs within the meaning of the law, the government cannot interfere with their sale unless it is able to prove that they are harmful The companies involved in the current cases Coty, Hazel Bishop, and Helene Curtis assert that the lotions are simple cosmetics, not cosmetic drugs, and they deny that they have made misleading claims in behalf of the preparations. They insist that they have advertised the lotions as no more than beautifiers that will produce a wrinkle-smoothing effect lasting only five or six hours. FDA nevertheless sticks to its con STRICTLY BUSINESS To The Times: The June 30 editorial "Indiana's Undone Task" repeats about five times the need to explain this Stat'i tax structure to its citizens.

It would almost seem that The Hammond Times has taken on the job of apologizing for Indiana's inefficient fiscal management! Any state representative or senator who voted for the sales tax would be proud to distribute copies of those alibies as his own if Tree's A Peach To The Times: Subject Tree. Kind Red Elberta Peach. Age 15 years. Statistics 18 feet tall, 25 foot spread; picturesque form; bears welL This tree survived the windstorm on Friday, June 19, only to have a large branch break two days later because of the weight of fruit. Bandaged branch in time to prevent any more loss of tree.

Disposition of fruit Part falls to the ground early, to be raked up or ground up by the mower. Part is eaten by birds and squirrels. The lower branches are cleared off and enjoyed by the family dog. Youngsters come along and "raid" the tree, not always waiting for nightfall. Whatever is left is thoroughly enjoyed by the family.

JOE KACOKA 4245 Henry Hammond. Ignored to a full stop, I mean sailing right on through without ever seeing the signs. I have also approached Shell Street either from the north or south on various occasions and have narrowly missed being hit by drivers who, assuming the i stops are four-way, have pulled out right in front of me. Like everyone else in this area, I was so pleased to see these signs put up. Through P.T.A., we had tried repeatedly to get some small protection for our five and six year olds attending Roxana School, and seeing these signs, I had applauded a step in the right direction.

I now feel they are nothing but a death trap. I hope the police will enforce the message on these signs before some child possibly yours or mine gets killed or crippled for life by a driver who doesn't care. MRS. CATHERINE ANDERSON 5625 Homerlee Street. East Chicago, Indiana.

Freedom Fam sure he'll be here in a few tention that the promotional claims suggest a more lasting benefit from regular use, with an effect amounting to that given by a surgical face lift. Hazardous cosmetics continued to appear, but with diminishing frequency; Items seized in the following years included lipsticks containing harmful chemicals, a cold wave solution which had killed one user, lacquers which damaged the hair, and eye makeup which could cause blindness. The changing character of the cosmetic industry itself gradually built up new safeguards against hazards of this kind. As the business expanded to multi-miUn-dollar proportions, fly-by-night producers had fewer opportunities to make a quick profit with a harmful beautifier. The cosmetic companies not only grew larger; they also became more scientifically oriented.

Today the major manufacturers 10 of which supply the products for four-fifths of retail sales maintain research laboratories and generally undertake pre-market-ing tests of new products for their own protection as well as that of the consumer. THERE IS NEVERTHELESS increasing pressure for application to cosmetics of the more stringent regulations which now apply to new drugs. Chief proponents of stronger controls are the F.D.A. and its parent agency, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, consumer groups, and several members of Congress. Bills introduced in Congress not only would apply requirements for pre-testing and government approval to cosmetics, but also would require that labels on cosmetic products list ingredients which might have ill effects.

Supporters of the proposed legislation would have the labels on certain cosmetics warn parents to keep them out of the reach of children and, in addition, carry information about antidotes to administer in case of accident. The cosmetic industry appears resigned to stronger controls but asks that new regulations not be overly rigid. What the manufacturers dread is that they will be forced to go to great expense to test products of knows safety; that secret formulas may be leaked to their competitors through government inspectors; and that they will be called upon to prove the unprovable claims that have become an accepted part of advertising claims for beauty preparations.
