But their demands would have to wait a decision today by Felix Gaillard, 38 -year -old finance minister in the last government, on whether he will try to form a government to end this month old crisis. Answer Awaited Gaillard is to inform Presi dent Rene Coty sometime this evening whether he will become the sixth political leader to try to solve the impasse. He planned a series of political talks during the day before making up his mind. " From the extreme left, French Communist leaders called on the Socialists once again to join them in a political alliance to change basic French policies. The Communists and Socialists together could form a majority in Parliament. Mollet'i Plana Wrecked The appeals followed Socialist Party Leader Guy Mollet's fail ure to win National Assembly approval as the next French pre mier. His plans were wrecked 290 to 227 when the Conserva tive Independents voted against him. Thij deepened the political crisis and played into the hands of the Right and extreme Left who denounce the present re gime for different reasons but with equal bitterness. The Right-Wing Social Repub lican Assembly bloc met and is sued a public warning that if the crisis drags on it might be neces sary to call in De Gaulle as a strongman who could serve somewhat as a benevolent dic tator until France could straight en itself out.

Sen. Philip B. Lowry, Med ford Republican, said the bill would reduce the total income tax burden by S60 million dur ing the biennium, "We would, in effect, rein state the 1953 law, except that the dependency credit and per sonal exemption clauses would be readjusted to the 1955 level," Lowry said. Other Sponsors Other sponsors of the measure were: Sen. Harry Boivin, Klam ath Falls Democrat; Lee Ohmart, Salem Republican; and Reps. Wayne Giesy, Monroe Republi can, and Emil Stunz, Nyssa Democrat. Sen. Boivin, commenting on the bill said it "does just what most of the Legislature agreed to do. It repeals all surtaxes and prevents the collection of ex cessive income taxes." The bill contains a built-in escalator clause providing that any year when total personal in come tax revenue falls below $50 million, an increase of one per cent in all brackets would automatically go into effect.

PNOM PEMfc Jhe 58 Ford has been prored arovnd the world. Thfe is the most dramatic and most grueling test ever given a new car before its public announce ment. The whole world was used as a test track for the 58 Ford. The car drove through England, France, Switzerland, Italy, Yugoslavia Greece, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Malaya, Thai land, Cambodia, Vietnam, and finally back to the place it started Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A. The Ford powered over the great mountain ranges of three continents: from the Alps to the Himalayas and the Rockies. It crossed the great rivers of history: the Thames, the Seme, the Tiber, the Arno, the Tigris, the Euphrates, the Indus, the Ganges. This car stood at Buckingham Palace, rolled up the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe, and paused at the Eiffel Tower. It was greeted by the great Paris couturier es at the famous fash ion salons where its "sculptured m steel" styling was applauded by the most style-conscious audi ence hi the world. It followed the historic Road to Rome, to stand in the of St. Peter's before the Vatican. The drivers threw coins hi the Fountain of Trevi, and went out the Appian Way to Veaioe. The 58 Ford rode smoothly down the rugged, beautiful seacoast of Tito's country, to a festival in Dubrovnik, and into Greece to Athens, where this newest classic met such ancient classics ' as the Parthenon and the Temple of Poseidon. Into Turkey: and the 58 Ford passed the great white lacework palaces of the Sultans along the Bosporus and the Golden Horn. And then the 58 Ford went where few but nomads travel, up into the hot days and chiH nights of -the ancient mountains of Afghanistan, all the way into the lilac-scented capital, Kabul. And thence over the trail of history, along the route Alexander the Great followed with his char ' iots, to cross the historic Indus river. On and on the Ford moved, down into the beauty and heat of mysterious India, through New Delhi to the crystal-white beauty of the Taj Mahal, and to the great pink palace of the Ma harajah of Jaipur for a welcoming parade of ele phants, and through Banaras and on down to Calcutta. This great new car met the challenge of the monsoons rains that for centuries have stopped aH road movement throughout Indo-China, but didn't stop the 58 Ford. It drove on to Penang in Malaya, and then north to Bangkok. It forded jungle streams to stand beside the ancient golden Royal Barges of Siamese Kings. Then it plowed on to the jungles of Cambodia to reach the most fantastic temple of aH, the strange ruins of Angkor Wat, eighth wonder of the world. Thence into Saigon, the Paris of the Orient, at the farthest tip of Southeast Asia. Finally, it pow ered across the great Rockies and plains of North America and back, at long last, to Michigan. The 58 Ford . . . has been proved and approved around the world. A natural question arises. Why did Ford go to such great lengths with its 1958 model? Why spend so much money and time and go through all the problems of negotiations, customs, border transit, diplomacy in so many countries? The answer: in the competitive automobile market of today, only the best in afl-aroind value can survive. And this rcmnd-the-world test is the most decisive possible demonstration of the best. The 1958 Ford is value: hard-dollar value. It is also style, power, performance, and a dozen great new features. But above all, it is value. This is the car yoa've been wakmg for.
