The Weather: Scattered Showers Details, Page 2A We Usually Get Socked Dy WILLIAM BUNGE Tribal Editor Special note to Brevard beef price warriors: Court cases are usually decided by precedent. So are a lot of other arguments. Therefore, it might be well to consider the thinking of big business in terms of beef prices. Remember the surtax and the Florida utilities? Recall who they wanted to stick with their surtax? It was fortunate for the consumers a higher authority ruled that they should pay their own surtax. What about the current battle of the big corporations who supply our gasoline and oil? Unde Sam wants to reduce the federal depletion allowance to petroleum companies.

This is the reaction of the Florida Petroleum Council: Any drastic change in the federal depletion provision could result in higher gasoline prices. With the beef war, could a successful operation result in new battles to get beef price losses off other items? iMrs. Murid A.

With a little enterprise, men of the 2862nd Ground Electronics Engineering Instillation Agency (GEEIA) Squadron at Patrick AFB were able to get a kitchen stove and washing machine to hurricane-torn Biloxi, Miss. They were donated by a Merritt Island family, but too late for a regular shipment going to Biloxi from here.

So the GEEIA men found a moving van headed in that direction. Bekins Van Lines agreed to transport the stove and washer on this truck going to California. Meanwhile, other items for the hurricane victims came to the GEEIA and they also were loaded on the big van. Great teamwork.

Noting that the proposed cutbacks announced by President Nixon are tentative, Rep. William Powell, -Indialantic, said, First we have to find out if and how much the cuts would affect road construction. If roads are included in the proposed cutbacks, Powell said, state legislators and other officials will have to see how much influence they can muster to get Congress to take another look at Nixon's proposal. At the present time there is not enough intormation about cutbacks to make any real assessment" on its effects, Powell said.

But if they include schools ind roads, they are hitting every state and will cause a lot of protests, he predicted. The 16-year road plan is heavily supported with projected income from the four cents federal gasoline tax, Powell said. The only way the state could make up the difference would be through additional taxes, he said. Of course there is the possibility of abandoning the plan, but everybody familiar with the plan agrees it is a minimal program and doesnt solve all the states road problems, Powell said.

SCORE volunteers, successful in hundreds of different fields, travel for the SBA to advise young entrepreneurs just breaking into the business world. Their services are free. Inadequate management also includes undercapitalization beginning businesses, Butler said. To remedy that facet of the small businessmans problem, Butler reviewed the SBAs Economic Opportunity Loans, the regular loan program and THE evening tribune i I to and Im still not sure I believe it.

In addition to educating congressmen, Frey said, the people must be convinced. As part of that facet of the campaign to sell space, Congressman Frey met with representatives of most of Brevards largest aerospace corporations this noon. We're trying to find out what we can do to reach the housewife in Iowa, to tell her what benefits space has brought to her," Frey said. But our surveys show that not all the housewives around the space center itself really realize all of the benefits of space," the Congressman said. Weve got to educate them, toe."
