Anatomy Must On Beaches, Spain Rules Madrid U.PJ It's back to bloomers and Victorian modesty on Spanish beaches this year. Vogue no twithstanding, Spain's traditionally strict code of morality will be adhered to by all seaside visitors, both for eign and demestic, unless they wish to be arraigned for inde cent exposure. In a memorandum issued by police headquarters here, men and women looking forward to the restful pleasures of sand and sea were reminded to be clothed "with the traditionally modesty and good-taste becoming Span lards." The memorandum, published in all the papers, admonished against current indecencies of strapless and two-piece bathing suits, bikinis and G-strings. The memorandum said, "swimming suits should cover both chest and back adequately. Women's bathing suits should have a skirt and men must wear sport-shorts. "Swimming suits may not be worn on beaches, at clubs, bars, restaurants, boats or generally outside the . water Some States OK Tax Reductions Chicago U.R) A study by the Federation of Tax Adminis trators reveals that a number of states have approved propos als for income tax reductions in the form of credits, expanded deductions and rate revisions This is what the various state legislatures have done thus far in 1953: Colorado: A 20 per cent credit allowed individuals and corpora tions for every taxable year since 1950 was extended for an other year.

Va. 0J.B A "roller-coaster," almost three miles long but dedicated to a more serious purpose than thrills is functioning every day in the Kanawha river valley near here. It is the 14,000-foot-long con veyor belt system leading from a mine in the side of a mountain to barges in the Kanawha river near Montgomery, W. Va. The mine is one of the sources of coal for a large steam-generating plant being built on the river at Glasgow, W. Va. Geolo gists estimate that at the present rate of production the mine will still be going full blast after the next 100 years. The belts are in nine sections, each hopked up with a power system capable of delivering 550 HP but actually using only 263 net HP electrical input. Three of the belts move down hill and actually generate power; The distance traveled by the .0 i V. & v ) DIFFICULT task of trying to organize cabinet is entrusted to Attilio Picclonl, right wing Christian-Democrat leader by Italy's president (InUmatumal) belts, down, around, up and over is about one-fifth of the distance a truck would have to travel over the mountain roads to go the same distance. Mine oper ators say it would take at least a dozen 15-ton trucks working 20 hours a day to match the belt's carrying capacity. If the mine should suddenly give out and leave the owners with an empty hole and a long belt on their hands, they might make a comfortable living with paid underground tours and a thrill ride thrown in for good measure. .
