Change in French
Policies Sought
To Avoid Crises
Paris (W Right and Leftr
Wing political spokesmen clam
ored today foe sweeping changes
in France's political structure to
avoid future government crisis.
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.

MAN-MADE LIGHTNING The Naval Ordnance Labora
tory in SUver Springs, Mo., revealed that a depth charge
explosion they set off in a remote Chesapeake Bay area
had caused lightning to be discharged from an overcast
overhead- The explosion was placed in an underwater
position under a cloudless sky, but an overcast had built
up two hours later when the detonation was planned. As
the charge was touched off, a 300-foot waterspout heaved
skyward and induced a low-level cloud to discharge its
energy in three consecutive bolts, one of which was
caught by a high-speed camera, producing this photo.

Bi-Parlisan Bill
Eliminates Both
Surtax, Increase
Salem W A bi-partisan bill
which would eliminate both the
45 per cent surtax and the 51
per cent tax rate increase passed
by the 1957 Legislature over
1955 rates was set for introduc
tion in the House today.
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.
Officials Varn of
Mail Box Destruction
Postal oficials warned today
that Halloween pranksters will
be prosecuted if they' destroy
rural mail boxes as they have
done the past few years.

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. See it
" November 7 there's nothing newer in the world
than the 58 Ford!
