Calif., state prison, has been disciplined by prison officials for
trying to flirt with Barbara Graham, left, 31-year-old murder

ficials say the flirtation was one-sided. (AP Wirephoto.)
Williams Says If Taxes
Cut Must Up Debt Limit
WASHINGTON iffl Sen. Wil
liams (R-Del) said Friday that if
the Senate votes big tax cuts in
the omnibus tax revision bill, it
should write in a provision boost
ing the national debt limit,
i "That would bo the honest thing
to do," . he said in an interview.
Williams, noted that the revision
measure as submitted by the ad
ministration calls for $1,400,000,000
Of Resources
GALORD, Mich.lfl Solicitor
Clarence A. Davis of the federal
Interior Department said Friday
legal restraint through gov
ernment is necessary for the pres
ervation of the nation's natural
resources. At the same time, he
cautioned against steady pressure
for more .government control. . -
He", also expressed belief that
when the. government becomes the
dominant factor in supplying elec
tric power in any area "a- most
unwholesome situation" Is created.
"The leeal restraint through gov.
ernment is absolutely necessary if
wo are -to adequately-preserve the
natural resources of the country,"
he said in a speech prepared for a
' conservation conference sponsored
by the university Ol jvucnigan. ..
"The government must neces
sarily exercise powers of restraint
against excesses but it must also
hold open the door of opportunity
and lend a helping hand to its
tjitizens.
"The way of "federalization of
these resources, of their socializa-
tion, of their bureaucratic opera
tion and the regimentation that
accompanies it, is not primarily
the American way.

of tax cuts in the first year, with
the revenue' loss increasing in
later years. .
in addition, he said, there will
be a big battle in the Senate to
add on a sizable Income tax reduc
tion by raising 'personal exemp
tions a move sponsored by sev
eral Democrats.
"If we vote total tax cuts of
several billions in this bill, there
is no way the government can get
by without an increase in the debt
limit in the last half of this year,"
he said.
The Delaware senator, a mem
ber of the tax-writing Finance
Committee, has said he will oppose
even the big tax-cutting items al
ready in the revision bill ' on
grounds that a balanced budget
should come first and that the debt
ceiling should be kept at the pres
ent 275 billion if at all possible. '
The federal budget is out of bal
ance by an estimated $3,300,000,000
for the current fiscal year and red
ink spending of almost four billions
is forecast for fiscal 1855 starting
this July 1. For months now the
federal debt has hovered just be
low the leeal limit.
President Eisenhower asked Con
gress to raise the national debt
limit to 290 billion last year -and
the House complied. But the Fi
nance Committee shelved the bill
at the end of the 1953 session and
never has touched it this year,

East Salem
WASHINGTON W - The 'gov
crnment reported Friday living
costs declined slightly in April.
The drop, the third in : three
months, was almost entirely due
to lower excise taxes effective
April i. . -.. .-
Too nci?r. means a penny-an-
hour pay' cut for about 1.230.000
workers in the auti, aircraft and
farm equipment industries whose
pay rates are geared by union con-!
tracts to the government ' living
cost index. ..-- -.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported 'Its index declined two
tenths of one per cent from mid
March to -raid-April, lowering the
index to, 114.6 per cent of the 1947-
4 average. This is seven-tenths oi
one per cent below the October
1953 peak when the index was
115.4. The 'April index, however,
is eight-tenths of one per cent
above year ago. ,
Commissioner Ewan Clague of
the bureau said' the April decline
was entirely due ts the April
excise tax cuts and the index
would have remained unchanged
without the cuts.
Food i prices rose in April by
three-tenths of one per cent, main
ly due to higher prices for fresh
fruits .. arm i vegetables,-, potatoes,
lettuce," some meaU .ahd coffee.
Thist was countered by lower
prices for" clothing,-, seasonal re
ductions in coal pnees, .ana lower
costs of house furnishings,' house
hold operations and personal care.
Although the northern boundary
of Indochina touches the Tropic
of Cancer, the area itself extends

The automobile industry is having a lively,
year. All the new 1954 models have been on the
road for several, months now, and everybody has
had a pretty good chance to see what they're like.
All the big towns have had Auto Shows. Some
towns Have had two! Lavish amounts have been
spent to impress "Mr. and MrsAmerican Driver
with the splendor and glamour of the;"all-new" .
'54 models, -i .' A- : .' , 'A
But amidst all th6 floodlights and fanfare, has
anybody considered the plight of our women
folk! 'Some jof our local gals are getting pretty
fed up with the "bulk and bulge" trend in auto
design. They are beginning to say things like this:
A. The garage now has to be slightly larger than the
house, else the car won't fit in.
B. Dents and scratches are an every-day occurrence
- as traffic gets heavier and cars get bigger.
C. It was hard enough to find one parking place down
town. Now you have to find two!
D. You can't enjoy driving anymore, because you feel
like you're piloting the "Queen Mary."
But don't despair gals, we have a perfect solu
tion for you. It's the 1954 Mercury! Seventeen feet
of the most responsive and functional transpor-
tation ever put on wheels. Official registration
figures show that huge public acceptance has .
greeted Mercury's "Reasonable" approach to auto
design... giving Mercury owners better re-sale
values! In fact, Mercury is America's fastest
growing car!
Free-flowing lines spell the difference! A look
and a feel of solid, rugged, compactness about
the whole car! A feeling of control. And a com
bination of brilliant performance and sparkling .
styling that you can't buy anywhere else!
This is the car for you gals! Just ask the men!
