Line-item veto
OK would help
Perhaps not surprisingly because of depressed
economic conditions, 71 percent of people responding in
the latest Gallup Poll favored giving presidents line-
item veto power, allowing them to delete some items in
a bill passed by Congress without having to veto an en-
tire bill.
Giving the president such power would strengthen the
government’s checks and balances system. President
Reagan has urged Congress to grant him this power, but
the lawmakers have been reluctant to do so, primarily
because they fear the president would usurp some of
their power by “killing” certain appropriations.
Be that as it may, it now appears many Americans
again are willing for President Reagan to have such
authority. Their opinions may reflect deepening concern
over the federal debt and enormous deficits.
Twenty-two percent of those responding in the latest
Gallup Poll opposed.line-item veto and 7 percent were
undecided. Support was expressed by 78 percent of
Republicans, 63 percent of Democrats, and 73 percent of
independents.
This is not the first time a reliable national poll has
reflected favorable public opinion on the controversial
veto issue. Large majorities in Gallup surveys spanning
four decades favored changing the current rule.
The major argument in favor of the present system is
that it would give the legislative branch more power by
forcing a president to accept items, particularly in
appropriations bills, he might not otherwise accept.
President Reagan and Sen. Edward Kennedy, in a
rare example of bipartisan accord, both have called for
giving presidents line-item veto power. Does this not
commend it?

Spy nest infests
Illinois Sen. Alan Dixon has introduced legislation re-
quiring the State Department to replace all Soviet
citizens employed at U.S. diplomatic and consular mis-
sions in the Soviet Union with U.S. personnel. The pro-
posal comes in the wake of reports that American
diplomats were “dusted” with a spy chemical to trace
their movements through the Russian capital.
There are more than 200 Soviet citizens working in the
U.S. Embassy in Moscow, and the State Department has
confirmed that most, if not all, report to the KGB in one
way or another. As Dixon says, “Hiring Soviet citizens
to work in our embassy is an invitation to easy es-
pionage.”
The idea should be taken a step further, too. If the
Soviets refuse to let Americans staff the U.S. Embassy
in Moscow, we should require the Soviet Embassy in this
country to be staffed by Americans, not Russians, as is
now the case.
Bible Verse
“And walk in love, as Christ
also hath loved us, and hath
given himself for us an offering
and a sacrifice to God for a
sweet-smelling savor.”
Ephesians 5:2

A story about Sen-Sen, the
powerful breath freshener
preferred by millions of
American males when I was
growing up, revived memories
of difficult teen-age problems,,
many of which revolved around
pleasing the fairer sex.
Sen-Sen was indeed a god-
sand, particularly to teens fear-
ful of preserving sometimes
rocky relationships with
girlfriends. Unpleasant breath
would get you more demerits in
your girlfriend's livingroom
than you could survive.
a pack of Sen-Sen in their stiffly-
starched shirt pockets.
However, the popular breath
freshener wasn’t the total
answer to romance. Some girls
detested it almost as much as
they despised greasy hair oil
some boys used.
I’ll never forget the “greasy
kid stuff” that sold for 10 cents a
As I recall, Sen-Sen had an
overpowering scent and would
mask most any odors in exhaled
air, including tobacco and booze.
Although teen-agers in those
days seldom embibed, their
grown-up counterparts used Sen-
Sen to keep their wives and
others from knowing they’d been
drinking with the guys.
Most teen-age boys wouldn’t
dream of going on a date without
bottle in community stores, It
was red and highly perfumed.
Most boys, anxious to keep their
hair slicked-down while on a
date, used too much of iC
Over-users didn’t have much
of a problem in winter, but in
summer when the temperature
soared into the 90s, the oil would
trickle down into a youngster’s
eyes and drip on his ears. It was
an embarrassing experience,
especially if he had taken his
date to a baseball game or a
church picnic.
Although Sen-Sen has beert
pushed off the market to a large
extent by more sophisticated
breath protectors, like Certs and
Clorets, it can still be bought in
smaller stores and tobacco
' shops.
No one seems to know the
derivation of the words sen-sen.
In Japanese, sen-sen means
glistening, shiny or bright,
which are unconnected with a
description of the product.
At any rate, whatever it
means or doesn’t mean, Sen-Sen
reigned supreme as a breath
purifier in the late 1800s and dur-
ing the first half of the 20th cen-
tury.
According to the story in the
metropolitan press, F&T
Laboratories, Inc., Chicago’s on-
ly manufacturer of cough drops
(Smith Brothers and F&F
Lozenges) and one of the city’s
largest candy makers, bought
Sen-Sen and Smith Brothers
from Warner-Lambert Co. in
1977.
Sen-Sen was developed in the
*late 1800s by T.B. Dunn & Co.,
perfume dealers in Rochester,
N.Y. Like Coca-Cola, the
original formula for Sen-Sen re-
mains a secret.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Today is Sunday, Sept. 29, the
272nd day of 1985. There are 93
days left in the year.
Today’s highlight in history:
On Sept. 29, 1978, Pope John
Paul I was found dead in his
Vatican apartment by his per-
sonal secretary. He had served
only 34 days as head of the
Roman Catholic Church.
On this date:
In 1789, the U.S. War Depart-
ment established a regular army
with a strength of several hun-
dred men.
In 1902, impresario David
Belasco opened his first Broad-
way theater.
In 1918, Allied forces scored a
decisive breakthrough of the
Hindenburg Line in Germany in
World War I.
In 1943, Gen. Dwight D,
Eisenhower and Italian Marshal
Pietro Badoglio signed an ar-
mistice aboard the British ship
Nelson off Malta.
In 1956, Nicaraguan leader
Anastasio Somoza Garcia died
from wounds received eight
days earlier in an assassination
attempt.
In 1963, the second session of
, the Vatican II council opened in
Rome.
In 1982, seven people in the
Chicago area died after unwit-
tingly taking Extra-Strength
Tylenol capsules that had been
laced with cyanide. To date, the
crime remains unsolved.
Ten years ago: Former
Brooklyn Dodgers and New
York Mets manager Casey
Stengel died at a hospital in
Glendale, Calif., at the age of 85.
Five years ago; American
Roman Catholic bishops, in
Rome for a synod, called on the
Vatican for a “completely
honest examination” of the birth
control issue.
One year ago: Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko con-
cluded his talks with Reagan ad-
ministration officials by holding
a second session with Secretary
of State George Shultz.
Today’s birthdays: Former
singing cowboy star and
baseball magnate Gene Autry is
78. Actress Greer Garson is 77.
Movie director Michelangelo An-
tonioni is 73. Movie producer
Stanley Kramer is 72. Actor
Trevor Howard is 69. Football

—The little gray-haired
woman you help cross the street
is your wi£e.
—You turn out the bedroom
lights for economic reasons.
—You know all the answers; ’
but nobody asks you any ques-
tions.
—You sink your teeth into a
steak and they stay there.
—You feel like the day after
the night before, and you haven’t
been anywhere.
—When a pretty girl walks by,
your pacemaker makes the
garage door go up.
—There is plenty of room in
the house, but not the medicine
cabinet.
—When you look at a bird or an
airplane flying by, your mouth
opens,up.
—The biggest chore of the day
is getting your socks on.
—When the alarm clock goes
off, you have used up the best
part of the day.

especially when she isn’t home.
