BY ioE HALL

WASHINGTON U - Senate FL
nance Committee action giving
President Eisenhower just about
what he asked for in tax changes
has dimmed the prospects of
victory for a Democratic. planned
floor fight to tack on an income
tax cut.
Finishing its. WORK on the s75-
page tax revision bill Wed. night
after six weeks Of secret delibera-
tons, the group accepted nearly
all of the benefits for corporations
and individuals sought by the ad
ministration. These would amount
to about 81, 40O, 900, 900 in tax cuts
in the first year.
Democrats on the committee did
not even offer their proposal for q
big reduction in personal income
taxes by a boost in exemptions.
It had become obvious the COM
mittee would reject such q move.
Their failure to win committee
support threw cold water on any
hopes for a general income tax
reduction in the revision bill, for
the Senate rarely upsets the Fl
nance Com m ittee on tax
Legislation.
Nonetheless, the senior Demo.
cratic committee member, Frear
of Delaware, told newsmen they
planned to fight. the issue out on
the Senate floor.
Other informants said the Dem
ocrats might center their floor bat
tie on a new plan providing q 81
tax cut for each taxpayer on his
return, taken as a final step after
he had figured his tax.
Sen. George (D-Ga) actually Of
fered this in committee last week
as a substitute for q provision CIV
ing substantial relief to stockhold-
ers on their dividend income, but
lost 104.
The revenue loss from the $40
plan would be about $50 million
annually under Georges estimate;
committee staff officials said it
might reach 81, 400, 000, 900 q year.
Either would be much less than
the original plan calling for a 4ta-
billion-dollar income tax cut in 1854
by raising exemptions $500 and q
81 ,S0o, 900 900 reduction from 1855
on through a $500 exemption hike.
Principal benefits in the House
bill retained by the Senate COM
mittee, besides the one to aid
stockholders, include: accelerated
depreciation allowances for corpo-
rations and individuals. increased
deductions for medical expenses,
an increased exemption Of retire.
ment income, permission to farm
ers to deduct soil conservation ex-
penses, an increase in charitable
deductions, permission to fathers
to keep the $500 exemption on .

Dorothy Rsymsr
Few Of you who knew and read
Dorothy Raymer's Society Page
are apt to forget her. Dorothy's
strength and reliability was in her
unfailing good humor and her
knack for turning out first-class
features. ! don't think she would
get angry with me il state now
that IN my opinion, some of her
editions were horrible. We both
used to kid each other about our
mistakes.
Dorothy il working on public
relations up North now. She is too
valuable as q feature writer to
confine her efforts to social news
only. When l die, I'd like to have
Raymer write my obituary - she
is the only one who might be able
to make me rise up out Of the
grave in laughter.
Back To Jones
Getting back to our present soc.
iety editor, Sue Jones, have YOU
noticed the amount Of extra. curri.
ctilar work she takes up? Her Girl
Scout activities? Her interest in
youth recreation and safety? These
are the kind Of things that would
made me support her until q Ger.
tain hot spot freezes over.
Any fool - such az myself, for
instance can sit at q typewriter
and bat out copy to fill q news
paper. News writing follows a set
formula that is little different from
working On factory assembly line.
The true mark of q newsman or
newswoman Is to improve the COM
munity. For that matter, the same
thing holds good for every person
working in Key West. Read the
society page and see if you can't
select an activity which will offer
you both pleasure and a construc.

This Rock
Of Ours
By Bill Glib

Let's cross the railroad tracks
today and see how the other hall
works - namely, Sue Jones and
her social news.
You know, the Society page Of a
newspaper has always intrigued
me. The first experience I ever
had with q newspaper involved
writing social notes and obituaries.
l never did succeed in mastering
the necessary technic for either
job.
Each Society Editor that works
at The Key West GEsizen seems to
have an outstanding characteristic
which she contributes to her page.
In Sues case, / think this contri-
button comes in the form Of a sim
cere desire to run stories which
will elevate the community and
have 4 lasting effect within the
home. I've noticed that she has q
tendency to lean toward news that
builds up our youth - she eliminat-
es much OF the frivolous content
OF 4 society page that is 20 often
Gritating to male readers and
stresses features Of q general in
terest TO everyone.
Sue is doing an admirable Job. I
won't insult her intelligence by saw
ing that she Is The best all-around
society esItor I've ever read be.
cause to be perfectly truthful, I
don't think that there is such a
creature as 4 "good, all-around
writer" But if I have interpreted
Sues aims correctly, I think can
honestly say that she suzpasses
any other Citizen Society Editor in
directing her work at community
enterprise.

1926 and started taking courses to

says cropped up after leaving

In 1919 she had almost enough

.CAA 10 Operate
Radar at Is Bases
" The Assoeiofed Press

The Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration has announced plans to
take over radar approach control
centerS at Is air bases.
The primary reason: Air
Force reluctance to direct air
traffic in areas serving both civil
and military aircraft.
Under the program jointly
agreed upon, the CAA will OPP
crate the surveillance radar units
for the approach control of all
traffic in the vicinity Of each of
the bases. Surveillance radar has
a radius of 80 miles or more, and
is used to watch all air traffic
moving within that range of the
airport where the radar is in
stalled.
The Air Force, meanwhile, will
operate the precision approach
radar used for actual landing of
military craft by instruments, in
storms, fog or at night. A
standard radar approach control
center has two precision APP
proach radar setS-one with a
range OF three miles and one of
10 miles-and three surveillance
radar scopes.

Wisconsin Democrats
AssaiI Mccarthy and
Woo Farmers Vote
RY the Asseeioted Press

MILWAUKEE,. July l2.-Wis-
consin Democrats wound up their
annual State convention yes
terday with q blistering blast
! at Senator Mccarthy. Repub-
lican, of Wisconsin and praise
for their two Democratic Rep
resentatives, Lester johnson Of
Black River Falls and Clement
Zablocki of Milwaukee.
The Democrats, about 1000
strong, paced their convention
to the theme that they could win
this year by appealing to the
States farmers for support and
by pointing to what they charged
was the Republican Party's fail
ure to provide good government
for all the people.
Mccarthy Condemned.
The Mccarthy attack was con-
tanned in resolution introduced
from the floor by State Senator
Henry Maier of Milwaukee after
it had been rejected by the
Resolutions Committee, headed
by John Reynolds of Green Bay.
Mr.. Reynolds contended "that it
was beneath the dignity Of the
Democrats to recognize Nc
earthly"
The resolution was adopted by
a shouted voice vote of approval.
It stated:
1.-THE Democratic Party of Wis
consin hereby condemns Senator
Mccarthy and the evil force Of
McCarthyism and expresses its
unalterable opposition to them
and to the influences within the
Republican Party of this State
and Nation without which Nc
Carthy and McCarthyism would
have been impossible"
Attack Governor.
The Democrats also adopted
resolutions praising Mr.. johnson
and Mr.. Zablocki and condemn
ing Gov. Kohler and the two
Wisconsin Republican Senators
Senator Mccarthy and Sena-
tor Wiley-for what the Demo-
Gratis claimed was their program
of selling WiSconSin's farmers
down the river"
They rejected a platform plank
that would have put them on rec
ord in favor of optional forms Of
county government. At present,
all county officers are elected as
party candidates. The platform
plank would have proposed a
constitutional amendment to
provide for nonpartisan election
of county officers.
The platforms main issue was
on agriculture. It put the Demo-
Gratis on record in favor of 80
per cent of parity for dairy
products and other Federal aids
to give farmers greater income.
