Bell & Howell also is
bringing out a pair of elec-

which requires no focusing.
The II element zoom

The electric eye on both
cameras operates contin-

adjusting rapidly to changes
in light. An exposure beacon
in the viewfinder warns the
operator when there's not
enough light for good shoot

a haze filter to screen out
invisible ultra violet rays
that cause loss of contrast,
and a Type A filter to
permit the use of indoor film
out of doors. Each camera
has a coupled viewfinder to
let the movie maker see what

zooming.

Tax Cut Gains

MOSCOW, Oct. 7 CAP). - A
government spokesman said to-
day, that as a result of the
latest income tax cuts two
thirds of the Soviet Unions in
dustrial workers are getting
wage increases ranging from a
few points up to rs per cent.
Alexander Volkov, chairman
Of the State Committee on La
Dor and Wages, said the major
increases are going to lower
paid workers. The increases
were accomplished through a
combination of wage boosts and
tax decreases, he said.
The government said the Sec
ond stage of its five-year plan
to abolish income tax went into
effect october /. 1t abolished
taxes on workers earnings up to
so rubles a month and cut taxes
by 40 per cent on incomes of 81
to 10 rubles month.
The official ruble rate is one
for Sill, the free market rate
is 40 cents.
Mr.. Volkov said the number
of workers getting 40 rubles or
less a month has been reduced
by rs per cent and the number
earning 40 to so q month cut in
half. The number of workers
in medium-income brackets
getting l00-160 rubles monthly
has been almost doubled in the
effort to reduce the gap be-
tween high and low wages, he
said.

Allied Farley
Before Berlin
Talks Hinted

LONDON, Oct. Z (AP)-
Allied officials reported today a
new Western Foreign Ministers
meeting probably will be held
in advance of any negotiations
with Russia on a Berlin settle
ment.
AS seen here, the purpose Of
a parley between American,
British, French and West Ger
man ministers would be:
To decide whether meaning
full talks can be held with the
Soviet Union on the disputed
future of Berlin and Germany
and to reach acceptable terms
of negotiation with Moscow.
To review postwar Allied
policy on the German problem.
An EaSt-West conference would
require concessions on both
sides.
West Germany already in
formally has suggested an early
meeting of Allied foreign min
listers. The British Foreign Of
flee said such a meeting could
not be excluded.
British officials said there
was no truth to reports of i'm
pending far-reaching shifts in
Allied political strategy over
Berlin.
THE West remains willing to
negotiate but also intends to be
ready to fight in defense of its
rights in the city and of the
freedom of West Berliners,'
the British spokesman said.
The British are in broad
agreement with the United
States on most aspects of Ger
man policy and especially on
the need to seek an honorable
accommodation over Berlin.
Foreign Secretary Lord Home
has been insisting that Britain's
public posture must be tough.
He wants to discourage any
Soviet idea that the British
won't fight in an emergency.

which was essentially tempo
rary." Mr.. Lefevre said.
Authoritative sources in Bonn
yesterday said the West Ger
man government was ready to
expand administrative and
technical relations" with the
Ulbricht government.
At the same time the United
States State Department in
Washington denied reports that
it had approached West Ger
many with a proposal that the
Bonn government negotiate
with East Germany an agree
ment on Western access rights
to West Berlin. Western fears
that access to West Berlin may
be cut off after the peace treaty
signing account for much Of
the current tension.
