Political Notes By FRANCIS J. KELLY WASHINGTON (f — The next President faces an urgent five-bil- lion-dollar tax decision as soon as he takes his oath of office. The rather vague talk about pos- | sible future tax reductions, coming out of both the Eisenhower and Stevenson presidential campaign camps. strikes practical tax men here as interesting but somewhat beside the point. That’s because a lot of taxes are,due to go down sharply,” start- ing at the end of next year, unless the President and the 83rd Con- gress act affirmatively to keep them up. It will be up to the new chief executive to tell the lawmak- ers what he wants—which may or may not be what he gets. It will be to the President’s ad- Vantage to submit his tax recom- Mendations promptly, because it ames a long time to grind a tax bill through the congressional mill. The last one required almost nine months, In drafting that increase, which went into effect last fall, Congress set definite cut-off dates for., the increased rates. The veterans on the tax-writing committees recog- nized that a tax without an ex- piration date is, in practical ef- fect, a permanent levy. 4 In the absence of positive legis- lative action next year, taxes are due to go down $5,280,000,000. There would be a cut of $2,280,000,000 in individual income taxes, $2,200,- 000 in corporation taxes, and some 800 million in excise levies. Individual income taxes are scheduled to revert to the last pre- vious rates Dec. 31, 1953. The cor- porate excess profits tax would be cut in half for calendar 1953, and abolished for calendar 1954. The increase in the regular corporation taxe: due to run out April 1, 1954. That also is the date for. the scheduled cut-back in a number of excise levies,. including, those. on liquor, beer, cigarettes, autos and gasoline. Washington tax experts frankly @oubt whether either Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson or Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower has been thoroughly _ on the national tax--prob- m. ‘ The Republican nominee, Eisen- bower, says taxes have approached’! the point of hurting incentive and initiative. He ‘talks of a 30 or 40 billion dollar cut in the budget, but then declares that a budget reduc- tion doesn’t necessarily entail a tax cut. ? Eisenhower could,-get.quite an ~ ‘argument out-of any: congressman on that point. * Gov, Stevenson’s headquarters ha recently with talk of @ substantial reduction in the cost ' of rearmament by July 1,'°1954. Since arms represent a major share of the U. S. budget, this is | strictly tax-cutting talk. Yet neither ‘candidate has given any public recognition to the prob- lem of that five billion dollars | which must be faced up to next year. Korean War Vets Get Flight Trng. PASSA-A-GRILL E (®— Korean War veterans who want to learn to fly will get 15 per cent of their flight training costs paid by the government, the Veterans Admin- istration regional office here said today. The same ruling applies to vet- erans who served since the out- break of the Korean War but whose service was not in Korea. Under the new GI bill, the VA will make monthly payments di- rectly to veterans in training in- stead of to the school. Out of the allowance the veteran must pay all his expenses, including tuition. GOP To Work Hard For ‘Ike’ MIAMI (#—National GOP Com- mitteeman C. C. Spades, St. Au- ese says “every available dol- jar, including $62,000 from the state Republican budget, will be used to bring about Gen. Eisenhower's vic- | tory in Florida.” Spades made the statement Wednesday after a meeting of the Florida Republican strategy com- mittee, composed of party regu- | lars and “Florida for Eisenhower” leaders, Emett C, Choate, Miam! attor Mey and a delegate to the GOP National Convention, was named Southeastern Fingnce officer. Prisoners Escape FORT MYERS in—Two prison. Dodgers Split Pair With Giants Wed. By RALPH RODEN Associated Press Sports Writer Joe Black is one major league rookie who is living up to his spring press clippings. Back in March Black was hailed as another Don Newcombe in Brooklyn’s training camp. Black was in great shape as he had spent ban winter league. He was tabbed as,the best .bet to take up the slack caused by Newcombe’s entry into €H@ Army. Blaék was the first to admit that he wasn’t in the same class as Newcombe but the 28-year old righthander has contributed as much to the Dodger cause as Big Newk did in the past. It’s doubtful if the Dodgers would be leading the National League by nine games today if it weren’t for Black.LUsed entirely in relief roles, the Dodger recruit has appeared in 37 games, winning nine, losing two and saving several others, Black took part in both ends. of Wednesday’s day-night doublehead- er against the runner-up New, York Giants. He- gained credit for the 5-4 day game triumph and was tapped for two unearned runs in the 8-4 night game defeat. Chicago and Cincinnati and Phil- adelphia and Boston also split dou- bleheaders. The Cubs dropped the opener to the Reds, 11-3, but won the second game, 7-0. Philadelphia whipped the Braves, 3-0, but bowed 9-3, in the night portion of the twi- night twin-bill. St. Louis and Pitts- burgh were idle, The New York Yankees retained their 2% game lead over Cleve- land in the American League, di- viding. a bargain bill with Wash- ington while Cleveland halved a pair with the St. Louis Browns, Washington drubbed the Yanks, 12-4, in the opener but ‘lost. the second game, 10-9 in 13 innings. The Browns tripped Bobby Feller and the Indians, 5-2, but Cleveland bounced back to grab the second game, 9-1. In other games, the Boston Red Sox blanked Phila- delphia,4-0, and the Chicago White Sox crushed ‘Detroit, 7-1. Bob Porterfield enjoyed a rare treat in the first game at the Yan- kee Stadium. The Senators support- ed his: pitching with a 17-hit at- tack that included a grand-slam homer by former Yank Jackie Jen- sen, Six of Porterfield’s 11 defeats snapped Vic Raschi's 11-game win- ning streak. . The twin bill, which lasted al- most eight hours, was completed under the lights. Billy Martin squeezed, home Yogi Berra to cli- max a game-winning three-run ral- ly in the 13th. Mickey Vernon put the Senators out in front, 9-7, with a two-run homer off Tom Gorman in the top of the 13th. Home runs also highlighted the doubleheader at Cleveland. Bobby Young decided the opener in favor of St. Louis with a three-run homer in the sixth off Bob Feller, The Indians went to town early in the second game, scoring four runs in the first inning against Cliff Fannin. Al Rosen sparked the uprising with a three-run homer, his 20th. Early Wynn checked the Browns on four hits to gain his 15th triumph. Lefty Mel Parnell and Clyde Voll- mer teamed up to lead the third Place Red Sox to victory over the A's. Parnell yielded only three hits while Vollmer drove in three runs on a homer and two singles. DeLand’s Roberts Whips Jax Beach For Twelfth Time By NEIL GILBRIDE Associated Press Staff Writer DeLand’s Red Roberts seems to be making a habit out of pitching, and beating the Jacksonville Beach Sea-Birds in the Florida State League. He beat them 4-2 Wednesday night for his 12th win this season, nine of them over the Sea-Birds, Roberts, whose two losses this year were both to Jacksonville Beach, gave up nine hits, while jloser Ernie Clark allowed eight to the league-leading DeLand Red Hats. The winning DeLand runs were unearned in the fourth in- ning In other games Wednesday night, Daytona Beach beat Cocoa, 5-3, Palatka downed Orlando 6-1, Lees- burg won 7-4 and lost 17-2 in a doubleheader with Sanford. Palatka scored twice in the first inning and once in the second and then coasted to the win over Or- lando.

Everybody is born a nudist, but most people outgrow it. Nudists are having their woes these days. A group in England is plagued by a nude stranger who pops in and out. And another of jthe off season pitching in the Cu-| group, the American Sunbathing Association, meeting at Mays Landing, N. J., are acting more like Texas Republicans as they quarrel over the selection of offi- cers. Two factions are competing in a naked grasp for power.

' A naked savage is a fairly grace ful human animal, because he has gone without clothes since birth.

But nudists in America strike the averagé citizen as neither grace- ful nor particularly daring. They are either depressing or mildly amusing. The.real argument against nu- dism. isn’t that it is immoral or unnatural, It is that it simply isn’t practical any more. For one thing, civilization would probably collapse except for pock- ets. That is one of the soundest reasons for clothing, “Tl CUT IN CONSCRIPTION i AND UNEXPECTED TROUBLES FOR RIDGWAY’S ARMY By RUSSE''.
