The musical is giving him

Then he gives a swift run

Griffith program.

What can I do? I don't

Smart" actors who a doz-
en- years ago first met the
evils of foul air by buying
homes in the San Fernando
Valley, in hilly Bel Air or
along the Pacific Ocean Pail
sades, have long since become
disillusioned. With the rapid
inflow of heavy industry and
the fumes therefrom, the foul
air has gradually filtered
through canyon passes and
into supposedly immune Sec
tions. Today it is conceded
that no spot within a 75-mile
radius of the factories and
refineries is spared.
Although other leading film
figures have been pounding
away in equally bitter denun-
Citations, it took Cary Grants
explosive blast of a few days

full realization that Holly

Coronary and respiratory
ailments, together with death
rates therefrom, show an
alarming increase and one

doctor appointment (the best
ones are operating three and.
four months behind) to un-
derstand what smog is doing
to Los Angeles vision.
What it has done to the
last lingering traces of Hol-s
lywood glamour is just about
irreparable. Night life among
the noted is now practically
extinct because so many are
too far removed from the
bright lights to make whoopee
for a single round-trip eve-
ming. And, saddest Of all. is
the comment Of Marilyn
Monroe of New York:
I'm glad I'm out Of that
foul air! The moment I set
foot in Hollywood my sinuseS

colds and headaches. I can't

Outsiders accustomed to the buy
now, pay-later policies of govern
ments go away with the impress
sion that Nebraska is something of
fiscal freak.
Well if pay-as-you-build con-
struction of a capitol makes Ne
braska an economic odd ball, con-
slider this:
No State Debts
Nebraska has no state debts and
manages to keep enough money in
the bank to meet month-end bills.
1t has no state sales tax and no
state income tax. Only one other
state, Texas, can make this claim,
and Texas enjoys the largesse of
severance taxes on oil and gas re-
sources unmatched in Nebraska.
State government during the
year ended June 80 cost the aver
age Nebraskan $3.50 in taxes, low
est such per capita figure in the
nation.
Governor Ralph Brooks returned
from the 1859 Governors Confer
ence in Puerto Rico to report that
other governors thought 1T wonder
full that Nebraska manages without
sales or income taxes.
"They didn't listen to the second
half" he complained. I'VE have no
parks, no roads, no schools!
1t was his facetious way of say
ing, he explained later, that the
states economic Spartanism has
not been without some sacrifice.
The states debt free status is
nothing new. In the 1930s it led to
a vigorous promotion of Nebraska
as the nations white spot''-a
campaign to counteract the bad
publicity attending several years
of drought.
Indebtedness by state govern
meht-in excess of $100,000-is un-
constitutional in Nebraska.

Why two kinds of cars? Because
America itself has been going through
some big changes in the past few
years. Our cities have been straining
at their seams. Traffic is jam-packed.
Parking space is at premium.
And our suburbs have spread like
wildfre. People are living farther from
their work, driving more miles on
crowded streets. There is new leisure
time-but more things to do. There's
a new standard of living-and more
need for two cars in the family garage.
In short, Americas automobile
needs have become so complex that
no one kind of car can satisfy them
completely. That is why we at Chew
rolet, keeping tab on these trends,
have had a revolutionary compact car
in the planning stages for more than
nine years.
Thus, when we decided three years
ago to prepare for production of such
car we were ready to build it the way
it should be built. There was no need
for hasty crash" program. that
would create only a sawed-of version
of conventional car.
That is why the two cars you
will see in your dealers showroom

different kinds of cars. One is the

900, and no greater indebtedness
shall be incurred except for the
purpose of repelling invasion, sup
pressing insurrection or defending
the state. =. ;"
Never An Issue
The 100000 limit may have shap-
ed up as a comfortable cushion in
those days. Today, even in frugal
Nebraska, it's pin money and long
time state officials say they have
no recollection of the debt-incur-
ring privilege ever being used.
The constitutional ban isn't like
ly to be changed soon. It just new
er has become an issue.
Nebraska relies heavily on the
property tax for revenue, not only
at the state level but at county,
city and school district levels.
Under recently-set state levy,
the owner of home worth $4,000
will pay about $50 in state property
taxes next year.
But cities, counties, schools and.
other subdivisions also make their
levies, with the result that a
$4,000 home becomes subject to
taxes totaling anywhere from $50
to $500.
The state levy represents only
about Is per cent of the property
tax take. Schools, which receive no
state general fund aid, pocket more
than half of the revenue.
Little Enthusiasm for Taxes
Efforts to enact sales or income
taxes with view to easing the
burden on property owners develop
regularly at each legislative ses-
sion-so far, without success.
The state resorts to most of the
other going revenue-producing de-
vices, however.
It has a seven cents per gallon
state gasoline tax and four cent
per package tax on cigarettes.
Liquor and insurance taxes, Ii
censes and fees also help the
cause.
Only this year did the state get
around to taxing pari-mutuel race
betting, albeit modestly. Bingo also
was legalized this year but not prin-
cipally for revenue purposes.
Indebtedness, while banned at
the state level, is common at lower
levels of government A 1856 sur
vey showed counties, cities, school
districts and other subdivisions,
excluding public power districts,

money, federal funds included,

feeling of sumptuousness and luxury
never before attained by any car in its
field. There is great V8 power linked
with new thrift, plus Chevrolet's
superb 6-cylinder engine. It is
traditional car that comes even closer
to perfection-in silence, in room, in
ease of control, in velvety ride-than
any other car we have ever made.
The other is the Corvair, compact
car that is astonishingly different from
anything ever built in this country.
1t has to be-because this is a sac
passenger compact car, with a really
remarkable performance car
designed specifically to American
standards of comfort, to American
traffic needs.
The engine is in the rear. Among
the basic advantages resulting from
this engine location are better traction
on a compact 108-inch wheelbase and
a practically fiat floor. But to be
placed in the rear, the engine had to
be ultra light and ultra short. So
Corvair's engine is totally new
mostly aluminium and AR cooled; 1t
weighs about 40 per cent less than
conventional engines. 1t is a fiat
horizontally opposed six-so it is only
three cylinders long and that
leaves lot more room for passengers.
Another weight saving: like modern
airplanes, the Corvair has no frame;
the body-shell supplies it great struc-
