Men Fashions Battle Bulge LOS ANGELES CUPI) - The 42nd annual convention of the National Association of Retail Clothiers and Furnishers moved into full swing today with a battle cry to do away with men's paunches, in styles at least. Slimness is the word for men's styles this spring, said Arnold Michaels, Oakland, president -elect of the group. "The new silhouette emphasized longer lines," Michaels said. "La pels are longer and narrower. Trouser legs are also narrower." All this was designed to make paunch-sporting men look slender, he said. Michaels predicted at the open ing of the five-day convention Sunday that men's clothing sales will increase 10 per cent during 19B0. Prime laclors in the sales in crease prediction, he said, were the additional importance of the young men's market, more in terest in sportswear, and the rise of synthetics and summer ward robes. He said sales in men's clothing were up 7 to 8 per cent last year It was the first time since 1927 that the men's wear industry had Increased its share of the con sumer's disposable dollar. Solons Ponder Tax Aid Plan WASHINGTON (UPI) - Self- employed persons now stand at least a 50-50 chance of being awarded a permanent break on their income taxes to help them save retirement tunds. Prospects that some such leg islation will become law this year rose with the disclosure that the Treasury is modifying its ada mant opposition. The Treasury now is drafting a plan of its own. Informed sources said the plan ivould be presented soon to sena tors as an acceptable or at least less objectionable alternative to a House passed bill strongly op posed by the administration. These sources said the administra tion might urge enactment of the Treasury plan. The Senate is under strong po litical pressure to approve some version of the House bill. The Treasury's action in devloping ah alternative plan reflects belief that some legislation probably will reach the White House. If a measure is passed. Presi dent Eisenhower's lax and politi cal advisers want it to be a bill he can sign. An election year veto could have wide political reper cussions. The House - approved bill would permit self - employed persons to defer payment of income taxes on certain amounts placed in retire ment funds. The determent would apply to 10 per cent of income but could not amount to more than $2,500 annu ally except for older persons near retirement who would get a bet ter break. The tax advantage would go to an estimated six to seven million self-employed persons including lawyers, farmers, doctors, den tists engineers, architects, shop keepers, and unincorporated busi nessmen who don't have company pension plans. The plan being drafted by the Treasury would exact a price for the tax relief from some of these people. It would deny benefits to any self - employed persons with employes who don't provide their workers with a pension. No such restriction is contained in the House - passed bill. r -m Survivors Show Some Recovery The two survivors of Friday's! plane crash at Alturas, B.

In the spring of 1952 Leontyne Price was an unknown music stu dent at the Juilliard School of Mu sic. Today she is one of the most sought after sopranos in the field of music, in the leading opera houses, for recitals everywhere, and as a featured soloist under the world's greatest macstros of symphony orchestras. It was as Mistress Ford in a Juilliard School production of Ver di's "Falstaff," that she first set waves of excitement vibrating throughout the music world. She went on to now-historic success in the American classic, "Porgy and Bess, to operatic successes in Vienna, Berlin, London and Paris, and in this country. Her progress as an opera star has continued in an outstanding way. Her "Tosca" performance with the NBC Opera Theater in 1955 over the national network was memorable event in musical his tory. In the fall of 1957 Miss Price made her debut with the great San Francisco Opera Company and went on to triumphs within two months in three major European companies, at the Vienna Staat- sopcr, London's famed Covent Gar den and finally in' the fabulous Op era Arena of Verona, Italy. Her appearances with the New York Philharmonic and Boston Symphony, on radio and television and through her recordings, has given her great talent to a wide audience. She was born in Laurel, Missis sippi, where she received her first musical training as a pianist. Her ambition was to become a music teacher in public schools. Her parents sent her to Central State College in Wilberforce, Ohio, with that in mind. It was while singing in the college glee club that she was first made aware ol the potentially beautiful voice she had. Determined to try her luck as a singer, she applied for and was awarded a scholarship in the Juil liard School in New York. Her parents were unable to maintain her in the city, and following her graduation a Mrs. Alexander Chis holm, member of a prominent Laurel family, made it possible for Leontyne Price to accept the scholarship. She met the star of "Porgy and Bess," the great baritone William Warfield, during rehearsals. They , met in May, were engaged in June and married in August .1952, just before the production left Washington for Vienna, Austria. Curtain time for her appearance in Klamath Falls at Mills School Auditorium will be 8 p.m. Admit tance is by Community Concert season tickets only. This will be the last of the artist appearances for the 1959-1960 season. Three Fire Colls City and suburban fire depart ments answered three calls over the weekend.
