If a shift in the tax structure discourages these high-
technology growth industries, this action will in time
almost inevitably destroy the U.S. world lead in these
sophisticated areas. This would mean rougher competi-

further deterioration in the U.S. balance of payments.

A group called Americans in Paris for McGovern is
harnessing tourist power on behalf of the Democratic
candidate for president.
The organization, composed of Americans living in
France, hopes to enroll as roving emissaries for George
McGovern many of the one million Americans who will
visit France this year.
The heart of the drive, a variation of the traditional
bumper sticker campaign, is the distribution at such pop-
ular tourist meccas as Orly Airport and the Eiffel Tower
of luggage stickers and lapel buttons bearing slogans pro-
claiming “Jaime McGovern,” "Vivre McGovern” and
“McGovern Is My Bag."
“The tourist is the most visible and mobile American
citizen to be found,” says Eugenia Wilds, a cochairman
of the group. “Very few tourists bring autos with them,
but they all carry suitcases, briefcases and flight bags
And George McGovern will be riding right along with
the voter.’1

WASHINGTON (NEA)
If capital gains were taxed like ordinary income, as
Sen George McGovern proposes, the result would be
major changes in long-term investment patterns and in
the structure of U.S. industry
This is the private reaction of economic-financial
analysts, both liberal and conservative, this reporter has'
surveyed.
Investors would most certainly be attracted more to
those enterprises which pay high dividends and stress
safety rather than growth. These are, by and large, the
old-line, non-innovative industries.
In a good many cases, perhaps most, seeking capital
gains in growth companies involves some considerable
measure of risk On the other hand, steady income from
dividends in an established utility, say, normally in-
volves little danger. If the tax rate on both types of in-
come is to be the same, dividend income from the non-
risk investments will be more highly favored than today.
Companies which now plow a high percentage of their
earnings back into research, development and innova-
tion would be encouraged to shift a much greater por-
tion of those earnings into dividends in order to attract
investors. Having less of their own funds for investment,
they would be forced to look outside the company for
more of their capital needs. Yet, because of the risk
involved, and with no tax incentive, it would be more
difficult than at present for the growth companies to
secure funds in the open market These problems would
accentuate the trend toward takeovers by large con-
glomerates with access to capital and by outside invest-
ment groups and banking institutions.
Yet growth companies adventuring with new ideas and
concepts, plowing back earnings into development, have
historically been the sparkplugs of American industry
They have created new commodities and new jobs at a
rapid rate Today they include firms in electronics, com-
Like the much-publicized 'death" of Lake Erie, the
alleged demise of America's unique subtropical wilder-
ness, the Everglades, is one of those reports that seems
to have been slightly exaggerated

recent workers have run into the Everglades for a year
or so and said, “My gosh, it’s not like it’s supposed to
be'” and then gone off criticizing that "the water is too
low" or “the water is too high.”
The “true" Everglades, says Dineen, is a vast sawgrass
prairie, dotted with green tree islands known as ham
mocks, and otherwise marked by sloughs and strands of
vegetation.
During periods of abundant rainfall, it is a flood plain.
When rainfall is deficient, it is often swept by sawr
fires that may even consume the peat soil that lies al
the porous rock cap of the Everglades basin
The most commonly accepted belief is that the Ever-
glades depends upon an overflow of water from Lake
Okeechobee, 100 miles to the north. It is this water which
the engineers have been accused of diverting.
Recent studies indicate, however, that it is rainfall in
and around the area which determines the condition of
ttedlades at any given time, and rainfall is notoriously
