T 7 About Tax S Key Demo 0 le Bices. Washington U.R) Two key Democrats on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Commit tee said today that it's too early yet to tell whether there can , be a net reduction in taxes next year. They declined to join Sen. Wer F. George (D-Ga.) in painting a rosy outlook on Ranees of tax relief next year. George said Monday he believed the treasury could stand a tax cut of $3,000,000,000 to $3,500, 000,000 in the fiscal year start Inff next Julv 1. Rep. Hale Boggs (D-La.) said he aereed with the stand taKen by Rep. Wilbur Mills (D-Ark.) that Congress should put 011 un til spring a final decision on a cut in taxes. Speculation Refused The White House also refuse3 to speculate on tax reduction, although President Eisenhower and Republican congressional leaders were told Monday the outlook is heful for balancing the budget in the current fiscal year without cutting military spending. Boggs is a vice-chairman of the (XJemocratic National Com mittee as well as a member of the House Ways and Means com mittee. Mills is chairman of a joint congressional economic subcommittee studying tax poli cy and is second-ranking Demo crat on the Ways and Means committee, which initiates all tax legislation. ;shen, Ind. (U.R) Attor ney Carl Chattin's wave to an auctioneer . netted him 1,300 vafeSs of red and green Christ mas ribbon. The wave was misin terpreted as a bid and Chattin was declared the winner. crais day George has long had a major voice in tax matters as a mem ber of the Senate Finance com mittee whioh considers tax bills after they are approved by the House. Earlier this year, George join ed in helping the administration kill in the Senate a $20-per-per-son income tax cut which Mills and Boggs and other Democrats pushed through the House. But Monday George said he thought the budget finally could be brought into balance by June and that income taxes could be lowered without putting the government back into the red. George said he favored using the first $2,500,000,000 of any tax cut to increase personal in come tax exemptions from the present $600 to $700. If addi tional tax relief is possible, he said, he favored reducing rates for middle income brackets. o automatic ZIG-ZAGGR o o converts your straight stitch sewing machine to an automatic Plane Can Be Flown With Periscope Use Champagn, 111. (U.R) A pilot can fly a plane by looking through a periscope. The experiment which proved it could be done was made at the University of Illinois avia tion psychology laboratory. Trie project was another in the nine- year history of the laboratory which is exploring the human element in aviation. The periscope experiment points to the future when the canopy bubble of the pilot's cockpit will give way to im proved "streamlining. The laboratory, at the univer sity's own airport, is the only facility of its kind in the coun try, University of Illinois offi cials say. It works out prob lems for the Air Force, the Navy and private industry. Some ex amples include: The Illinois system of flight training which uses a Link Trainer to give early instruction so pilots can have more time in the air during advanced train ing. A study of how many air planes a traffic controller can safely keep track of at one time on a radar screen. A new project to test whether cost of training pilots can be cut by using full-size photographic enlargements of a cockpit to teach the location and use of instruments. decorative stitchw cod many mctr eon be moda on your old machinal Pkl a Disci Get another Decorative Stitch Fits any make or model Conversion made simply and quickly in your own home V oilgS cleaning and tension adjusting .Sl-tmmJa mil I'm 3 Come in for a demonstration of this amazing invention or phone 2-5144 for a home appointment 0 DAVENPORT Appliance Shop 2101 West Main 1 Mile West of Court House Store Sells Things For Good Deeds Chicago (U.R) A store, that sells things for good deeds in stead of money opened recently under the sponsorship of the Old Town-Chicago Boys . Clubs with about 1,000 neighborhood boys as members. If a boy wants to buy a pair of gym shoes, for instance, he may pile up credit tokens in a variety of ways by washing floors, emptying waste baskets running errands, aiding in the city s current cleanup campaign, or even by improving his grades at school. The credits will buy goods ranging from bicycles to cans of pork and beans. "There are a lot of poor kids in our neighborhood." said Vince Giesler, club director. "In stead of just giving the stuff away, we're making them work for it. Nothing destroys the dig nity of a boy so much as to ac cept handouts." David X. Meyers, garage own er and chairman of the board of the club, said merchandise for the store was donated by lo cal businessmen. NO MORE MYSTERY Hartford, Conn.
