C., THURSDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 8, 1955 Cut In Income Tax Now Seen As Sure Thing WASHINGTON Oh A in come tax reductioon next year is almost in the bag now. But it remains to be shown which taxpayers will get the most benefit and which politicians the most credit. The election year tax cut was bagged Tuesday at Gettysburg where President Eisenhower agreed on defense spending with the ap propriate officials. The target figure for the fiscal year which begins next June 30 was fixed at $34,500,- 000.000. That is about $17,250,000,000 ill pre-war dollars, the dollar having shrunk since 1939 to the equiva lent of four bits under a political and wartime squeeze. If the dollar remains relatively stable in the next 18 months as it has for the past couple of years, there is a fair chance that the Pentagon spending officers will not much exceed in fiscal 1957 the $34,500,- 000,000 within which their com mander-in-chief has ordered them to remain. Defense spending is not being cut much if any. The expert* say the real significance of the Gettys burg figure is that there will be no cut in defense spending merely to make a tax cut possible and no increase Ain defense spending in response 'to an intensification of ythe cold* war or the Geneva Vdteappqjgtment. . Three Other Fields With defense spending on a fair ly even level, the logical keys to tax reduction seem to lie in three other fields. They are: 1.) Rev enue. which probably will increase beyond estimates; 2.) agriculture and how much subsidy will be voted for farmers; 3.) foreign aid and what will be done to meet the (Continued On Page Eight) Record Roundup marriage licenses A marriage license was issued Dec. 7 from the office of the county regis ter of deeds in Ullington (to Thur man Lee Dean, 27, of LiLlngton, and Stacy Gray Brown, also of Lillington; on Dec. 6 to Bobby Shelton Williams, 24, of Dunn and Doris Jean Norris. 20, of Dunn: on Dec. 2 to Mark Dike, 30, of Pearl River, N.

"We have gone completely over board on securty,” he said. ‘‘Every thing has to be secured, jobs, wages, hours—although the ultimate in security is jail, the slave labor camp and the salt mine.” Parker, a leading constitutional lawyer, served on President Eisen howar’s commission on foreign economic policy. The retired president and chair man of Kimberly-Clark Corp. said “it is never too late to revive the personal practice of freedom.” He urged the nation “to stop relying on the Great White father, who has nothing to give except what he took away from us in the first place.” Citing statistics to emphasize the centralization of power in the fed eral government over the years, Parker declared: “Uncle Sam is the biggest land owner, the biggest house bulkier, the biggest employer, the biftest fcankar. ancj insurance Company, (Contlnaed On Page Seven).
