CO-P. - nnnrtn' 00 Tfte Summer In Wealthy Fashion By Solving Coinword Puzzle On Page 8'A In The- Day's flews Ily FRANK JKNK1NS Major Gordon Cooper goes 22.9 times around the earth, a distance of slightly more than half a mil lion miles, and comes down only 7,000 yards tabout four miles from the rescue ship that was waiting to pick him up. And . . . he may have landed deliberately w ide of the mark to make sure that the ship hadn't changed its position. 1 reckon we can hit with a bomb just about any spot on earth. It gives one a slight attack of the shivers, doesn't it. The distance he traveled in his 22 and a fraction trips around the earth was just under 600.000 miles. The round trip to the moon is a little less than 500.000 miles. His time was a little less than a day and a half. appears The time may come when a round trip to the moon will be merely a week-end jaunt. Listen to this: In New York a reporter w as in terviewing people gathered in the huge Grand Central Station, where the commuter trains leave for the suburbs. One of those intcryiewed was 10-year-old Christine Lewis. I Asked what she thought about it all. islie replied: "I feel so happy! I'd LIKE TO VISIT THE MOON MYSELF. SOME TIME." Among those questioned at New York's Grand Central was a Uni versity of Utah geologist, Dr. Wil liam Hewitt. He replied: "It was a most amazing achievement for all of the world. Fifty years from now. Major Coo per's flight will look as cumber some to us as the Wright Broth ers' airplane does today." Hmmmmmmmmmmm. On that December 17. 1903. only M years ago, when OrviUe and Wilbur Wright made the world's first flight in a power-driven air plane at Kitty Hawk. North Caro lina, it is probable that no one who saw it or read of it could have imagined tlie jet airliners of today which made it possible to have an early lunch in Paris and late dinner in San Francisco. On that historic day at Kitty Hawk, Orvillc Wright piloted the little contraption that by courtesy and with great pride they called an AIRPLANE. He flew 120 feet and remained In the air for 12 seconds. Only five persons w ere i n t e r e t e d enough to watch the flight, and few newspapers wrote anything about it. Most persons thought the Wright brothers were crazy. But they weren't dismayed by what happened at Kitty Hawk. They continued to work on their crazy contraption, and in 19(6, tw-o years later, tliey (lew 24 miles in 3!) minutes. The next year they received a patent for their invention. They tried to interest people in their flying machine, but no one lis tened to them The U.S. govern ment thought it impractical and dangerous. That was only an average life time ago. And look what has hap pened since! So who can predict what will come of space travel" Upgrading Signs Seen In Economy WASHINGTON "IPt'-The na tion's economy showed signs of kicking up its heels today but the good news was partially blunted by word that the balance of pay ments deficit worsened during the first three months of I9M. The optimistic economic report came (mm the Federal Reserve Board which announced Thursdav that industrial production in April recorded its highest percentage point increase in 22 months A few hours later, llie Com merce Department reported that the payments deficit rose to an annual rale of $.13 billion during the first quarter of the year about one billion higher than last year's rate. The industrial production index measures the output in the na tion's factories, mines and utili ties. It is considered a primary indicator of ho the economy l gctting along. The April advance encourased those economists who feel that business is ready to start a healthy upward surge The econ omy has been going up for the past year but at a tale loo slow to satisfy the chart-watchers.

The Senate version differed widely from a House-approved bill designed to raise an additional $:!5 million from 'increased income taxes. Tile Senate threw out the House's modified net receipts fea ture, and a plan for a flat $22 credit for dependents. The Senate bill included sharplv increased rates to pick up $17 mil lion more from income taxes than tlie House version would produce The. Senate bill would make these changes in the present law Eliminate federal income tax deduction. Increase personal exemptions from $M)0 to $ti5fl for a single per son, am' from $1,200 to $1,300 for a marritd touple. while at tlie same ti.ne reducing dependency credit from Woo to $400. Decrease tlie top publislied rate from 9'i per cent to 7 per cent. Impose a minimum $10 tax on single perrons, and $20 on joint returns. Grant full deduction of all medical expenses in excess of five per cent of income. The Senate plan would have this effect on taxes: $5,000 income Single person $41 increase, couple $24 increase, family of four Rfi increase. Sto.ono income single person $59 increase, couple $79 increase, family of four $88 increase. Senate Tax Committee chair man Bovd Overhulse. D-Madras. said the Senate plan was de signed so larger families would pay more, and thus pay their fair share of the cost of education. House Speaker Clarence Barton and House Tax Committee Chair man Rep. Richard Eymann, D Marcola. both complained the Senate version abandoned the "ability to pay" theory. aVjU It-.-;-., -F- f , A"" - . - "--! "' ' g : ' - , ' i,.
