I State General Fund's Hate of Increase Drops same 10 months of the last fiscal year. Latest projection of the DFA is for income totaling $200.4 million during the full 12 months of this year, or 8.8 per cent above 1967-68. HARTMAN SAID he was confident this would be met, but doubted if the increase could be much higher than this. For one thing, June's income tax collections must be about $2 million up from $1.4 million of May to reach the $25 million of projected income from that tax this year. Total May income was $15.1 million.

The gross receipts tax and compensating tax continue to account for almost half the state's total revenues to the general fund. The 11-month collections of gross receipts tax was $80.9 million, up 8.6 per cent, while that of compensating tax was $6.2 million, up 15.5 per cent. The tobacco tax brought in $6.8 million, up 14.6 per cent but still under the amount expected because of the 25 per cent increase in tax rate a year ago. The alcoholic beverage tax dropped to a gain of only .9 of 1 per cent over last year, accounting for $3.5 million so far. THE INCOME TAX has brought in $22.9 million, up 33.2 per cent, largely due to the increase in that tax voted by the 1968 legislature.

Severance tax income to the general fund is down, however, because of more severance tax bonds which drain off this income before it reaches the general fund. Total severance tax collections were $11.9 million for the 11 months, up 4 per cent. But because of additional severance tax bond requirements, the amount going to the general fund was only $8.4 million, down 3.3 per cent. The state's share of federal mineral leasing revenues also has dropped. They totaled $11.3 million, down 2 4 per cent.

But the state's income from its own lands is up a healthy 23.9 per cent at $6.3 million. This is that portion of land income which goes to the public schools, and excludes that going directly to universities and other institutions. Earnings on investments continue their increase over last year. Earnings on the permanent fund which go to public schools total $11.6 million, up 6.3 per cent. Those on deposits of money of the state treasury total $1.8 million, up 6.9 per cent over last year.

From The Journal's Santa Fe Bureau SANTA FE The rate of increase over last year of New Mexico's general fund income dropped slightly during May, Ed Hartman, director of finance, reported to the Legislative Finance Committee Tuesday. But even a similar drop this month would bring the percentage of increase down only to the 6.8 per cent forecast by the DFA for this entire year. Hartman reported the income to the state's general fund earmarked schools funds so far this fiscal year was $180.3 million, up 9.3 per cent from the $164.9 million of the first 11 months of the 1967-68 fiscal year. The increase through April had been 9.7 per cent above the AROUND WEDNESDAY June 11, 1969 Page D-4 Tarm Inmates Escape NEW MEXICO guar dis believed these tracks were They overpowered mith was due for release on June 30.

Mr. and Mrs.

Don Hullman took off from Farmington on a flight to Grand Junction, Colo. A short time later, Hullman radioed that he was over Cortez, and running into bad weather. The plane was never heard from or seen again. A civil Air Patrol search on both sides of the Colorado-New Mexico border failed to find anything. Mr.

and Mrs. Cuno Hullman of Columbus, Ohio, wrote Farmington airport manager Gerald Williams, "Our hearts are heavy and we feel we must do everything in our power to find our children."

G.D. A. We wonder if you mean Just freighter travel or true tramp steamers which don't know from port to port which the next trip will be adventurous if you have all the time in the world. In either case write Harian Publications, Green Lawn, N.Y. and tell them what you're particularly interested in.

They put out different publications along these lines including a 1968 book "Today's Outstanding Buys in freighter Travel." Q. A rocket launched from French Guiana can, with the tame thrust, lift 24 per cent more pi) load than one fired from Cape Kennedy. Therefore, gravity must be less at the equator. D.M. A.

Tain't so, says H. A. Wente of the Sandia Laboratory. The difference in the pull of gravity at the equator and at Cape Kennedy is less than 1 per cent. In answer to your first statement, there are many variables relative to the thrust and payload, many of them based on the different types of rockets and on the beginning velocity of the rockets.

Q. In my life's work in engineering and architecture, a "module" has always been a unit of measure. Now, we are flooded with news about space travel where the astronauts aro in "command modules" and "lunar modules." How did NASA happen to latch onto our word "module?" P.M. A. The Random House Dictionary says a module is an interchangeable unit containing electronic components especially one that can be readily plugged in or detached from a computer system.

The Sandia Laboratory admits "module" is used in quotes which means it was adopted as a sort of slang word in electronics and telemetry. It may be a rather new word in scientific "slanguage" but it serves well its purpose and we have been bombarded with it so much that we certainly know its meaning. Personally, we like the word used both in your way and in NASA's way. Q. That automated Post Office at Winrock is such a bless, ing to many of us but someone is always clogging it up with slugs or paper.

Don't they realize those things wont work and that they will simply clog it up for others? Or do they care? A. The culprits will not only not get stamps or change but they may get a goodly sized fine or jail sentence since the offense is a federal one, says the Post Office Customer Relations Dept. Punishment for tampering with federal property is $1000 fine and-or one year in jail for damage up to $100 and a $10,000 fine and-or 10 years in jail for damage over $100. Security guards at Winrock are deputy sheriffs and commercial establishments in the area are cooperating in increased surveillance on the unit. Q.

We're brokea hearted at having to leave Albuquerque especially since we are addicts of educational television over KNMS-TV. What can we hope for in the way of educational television at Billings, Montana? Mrs. C.B. A. We can hold out no word of encouagement.

Dick Krause of KNME-TV says only Montana and Wyoming of the SO states do not have educational television. Both are gorgeously scenic states but so sparsely populated that booster stations and translators for the NET are almost out of the question because of the expense involved. Probably only 10 people and 14 jackrabbits in outlying hamlets would be watching the educational television programs. You couldn't change your mind about moving? Q. Our little daughter swallows her gum after chewing it a while.

I've always heard this can do irreperable harm to a child. Can you enlighten? B.C. A. Unless you ply her with chewing gum by the barrels your child should experience no difficulty from an occasional dose of gum in her innards, says a specialist in children's The intestinal tract is so marvelously built that it handles such harmless things as gum in stride. Our specialist says he has handled two cases where a child passed two open safety pins through his system without undue damage.

However, be does not recommend feeding children even closed safety pins. Q. I spent two hours digging in my compost bed and turned ap with a bad ease of hay fever. It it possible to stir up dor-mant pollen in this way? Sneezingly Yours, Mrs. C.E.

A. What you did was to stir up mold spores whose main functions to break down organic material so that bushes, trees, flowers and grasses will grow. A person can stir up molds to which many are allergic by working in flower beds or even in cutting Use grass. Since it is getting warm, the various molds are just beginning to blossom out, says our allergist The next pollen producers which will give hay fever sufferers a lot of trouble will be the tumbleweeds (Russian thistle) and Koda (burning bushes) from about July 1 to 15. Right now, tell your wife you are allergic to the molds in the grass and cannot mow the lawn.

Q. Can yen tell me where the term log rolling as applied to politics comes from? I'm referring to the practice of one peUttdu helping another to get a bill passed ia return for a similar favor, the "I'll scratch your back if yon scratch mine Ilea." 4 A. One reference book says that early settlers in America helped one another dear the land by combining to roll the togs from their fields, and this is one point of reference. Much earlier the Roman philosopher Seneca (8 B.C.-AD. 65) wrote in "Apocolocyntosis" the words "Yon roll my log, and I wiH rofl yours." Q.

Ia reference to yew questions about the Kennedy halt dollar, aWt the Kennedy half dollar breed before the Coinage Act ef IMS have per cent silver ia it? You're had pestioas about the value of these half dollari, both then aid sow, and It seems the silver content would make it vahuble. T.Y. A. Yes, the Kennedy half dollar before the July 1965 Coinage Act was 90 per cent silver so may be worth more than face value to silver buyers, says Collector Glen Armstrong. It's not particularly rare as a collector's item because more than a third of a billion were issued.

The clad Kennedy coins after July '65 contain 40 per cent silver (the only VS. coins with any silver issued now) and will soon be in plentiful supply.

And it looks like there may be as many as 14 Deming residents enrolled next year in the rugged, five-year UNM pharmacy program. Why have so many Deming students chosen pharmacy as a career? Bob Biggs, a third-year student and son of Mr. and Mrs. C. M.

Biggs, said his cousin Dan Pierce influenced his decision a great deal. Dan also influended Seldon Baker to enroll at UNM. Seldon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Seldon Baker is a fourth-year pharmacy student DAN GRADUATED from UNM College of Pharmacy and is now a graduate student in pharmacy at University of Utah.

Don Peters, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Peters, decided to become a pharmacist after talking to his next door neighbor, John Martinez, who formerly was a Deming pharmacist Don is a second-year student His father is principal of Smith Elementary ScbooL The only female pharmacist enrolled from Deming is Mrs.

Jane Ann Peyton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Blandford.

Jane, a fourth year student, is the wife of D. L. Peyton, an Albuquerque pharmacist. Other Deming residents enrolled include Leopoldo F. Lopez, Paul B.

McSherry, and Daniel Valverde. All seven student pharmacists are graduates of Deming High. Dan Valverde graduated in 1964 and earned a biology degree before entering pharmacy college. Paul is a 1965 graduate, and Leo is a 1966 graduate. "DEMING HIGH has a good strong science program, and it's really stressed," Seldon said.

"A large number of Deming graduates go on to earn biology, chemistry, and engineering degrees." But the students now enrolled don't want anyone to think becoming a pharmacist is easy. Their days, in class and laboratory, often run straight through from 7:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. "Almost no one makes in five years," Jane said with a laugh. She explained that in pharmacy each course is a prerequisite for the next course.

So, if you fail even one class; you must either make it up in summer school or drop back an entire year. "But it's not too difficult if you get the basic courses well," Bob said.
