In letters to President Ford and congressional leaders. Brimmer the one-shot cutback in federal income taxes is needed to pul more purchasing power into the hands of consumers at a time when production is lagging and unemployment is rising Taxpayers would have extra money to spend either through smaller final tax payments or through larger refunds of money withheld on then 1974 income I think most of it would be spent. ’ Brimmer said, "and (ms spending is needed to restore production " Total individual income tax liabilities are estimated at 9132 billion Thus a 10 percent cut would give taxpayers 913 2 billion to spend, in additicm to the StlS billion expected to be refunded to taxpayers under existing law ■ Tbt Crtma Baal MAN ASSAl I.TStiFFICER Officer G L Mack reported at 5 02 a m Saturday, that he and Officers Haywo(^ and J W Roberts respond^ to a service call at 10 Fanton Street ‘Subject John Linwood Ratliff, 52. was engaged in trespassing on the property of May L.

While awaiting the outcome of the appeal, she is alleged to have stabbed the white jailer to death, in the wee hours of an August morning, for what she termed attempted rape, on the part of 62-year-old Clarence Hobgood, who was serving as night jailer. She enjoved a few hours of freedom, by freeing herself from the jail, after the encounter with the jailer. When he was found dead, all law enforcement agencies, of the areas, instituted a search for the female prisoner, searching every conceivable place she might be. They were both embarassed and amazed when it wad disclosed that she had been hiding in the home of an unsuspect^ friend. Through the efforts of the relentless Golden Frinks, she was returned to the Beaufort County Jail. When her story was told, it had such resounding affect until mem ber of both races rallied to her cause. On September, she was transferred to Raleigh's Wo man Prison, where she awaited the result of her appeal. She was denied a bond, due to the fact she was being held on a capital offense. The Court of Appeals directed Superior Court Judge Joshua James to hold another hearing. Judge James dismissed the larceny charge and imposed a sentence of 7-10 years (See HOPE LOOMS.
