The call resulted from an over-heated stove and did not involye any damages. Perhaps what should be the headline of the day in the Key West Citizen was announced by City Manager Dave King. He said: “There have been no new sewer breaks in the past twenty-four hours.” Questioned as to the feud be- jtwen taxi drivers and the Grey- i hound. Bus Company over parking facilities on Duval St., King said that it was absolutely necessary to allow the busses to park for 45 minutes in the present taxi stands. “Traffic congestion makes this necessary,’ said the city manager.

CORNEL WASHINGTON — President ‘| Truman said today the steel strike is creating a serious situation, Gen. Eisenhower still is a friend of his and no President can cut taxes 15 per cent. Mr. Truman raced through those subjects—and a few others—at his news conference. He said that he isn’t running for office, so he can ive the fact about cutting taxes. Actually, he said, they ought to be increased in order to meet the deficit. Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, who, along with Gen. Dwight D, Eisen- howe?, is a leading contender for the Republican presidential nomi- nation, said Wednesday he would put in a 15 per cent tax cut if he became President. Mr. Truman was asked if he thought any Demoe: i¢ President could trim taxes that much, No, he didn’t, he said. And if they could have been reduced that much he would have done it, Then could any Republican Pres- ident slash taxes 15 per cent? |. No, Mr. Truman said, not unless | he wants to put the country farther jin the hole than it is. Eisenhower has not gone as far |as Taft in promising a tax reduc- tion but he has said a reduction would be poss: in about two years. Well, after all the speeches £.- | senhower has been making, does Mr. Truman still like the general? Yes, he still thinks Ike is a nice | guy. Of course he still considers Eisenhower a friend. Do you “wish him luck?’ Mr. Truman chuckled and said he couldn’t say that, adding that Ei- senhower isn’t running in the Dem- ocratic campaign. While the steel situation is be- coming serious, Mr. Truman con- ceded, he gave no indication as to any steps he might have in mind to meet it. The morning papers, he remarked, show auto- mobile manufacturing is being cut back and if that isn't serious he doesn’t know what is. | The question of using the Taft- Hartley Law is under considera- tion, Mr. Truman said, but it has been right along. He had been asked qhether he thought he should or would use the law soon. The President said he regards use of the law as “purely per- missive,” as a reporter put it, rather than mandatory. And he commented that he is pretty hard to force when he does- ‘n't want to do anything and pretty hard to hold back when he wants to do something. | “If steel production is so es sential,” a questioner inquired, “why don't you take the 80 days a Taft Hartley injunction would provide?’ N y-nine days have been used Mr. Truman replied and 80 more would just prolong the agony One reporter said, ‘You'd get production for 80 days,” Mr. Truman snapped: How de you know that? When asked whether he was im- plying that Steelworkers would not obey an injunction, Mr. Trumaa (Continued On Page Thre ‘amNOMETERESEIONIS GOOD USED CARS ‘$1 FORD Fordematic Ceiling Price $2093 Our Price $1895 Down Payment $633 Onty 6000 Miles Complete Stock of Me HAND TOOLS Guaranteed for Life Roy's Key West Auto Parts Co.
