Inflation Top Danger Now To United Stales Thoughtful Citizens Realize Danger To U. S. In Inflation By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD—The Quemoy crisis has been getting the big headlines but thoughtful citi- > zens realize that the clearest present danger to their future well being is something else. That something else is inflation, the catastrophic reduction of the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar to buy the necessities of life, i The Quemoy crisis is what FDR i used to call ‘‘iffy." If. for exj ample. Red China tries to take ! the near-shore Nationalist islands ( there will be fighting between i Communist and U.S. armed ' forces. If the Kremlin so wills it, that ( fighting would lead to all - out I atomic war. "Iffy” is not the word ! for inflation nor for the money| crisis which menaces the United States and every inhabitant thereof down to the lastborn infant. The immediate bad news which the citizens somehow do not seem to grasp is that a Republican administration voted into the White i House on an economy pledge has i been unable to make good on it. Discuss Gas Tax Hike I This administration conceded j last week that the federal government would’ go in the red in this | fiscal year by about 12 billion dollars. The impact of this overspending on the value of the dollar in your pocket or your dollar in the bank could be severe. There is nothing “iffy” about the accumulating fiscal year deficit nor about its impact on the dollar’s purchasing power. The chilling fact is that the dollar already has shrunk by half in the past 20 years. It is a four-bit dollar now and going down. The citizens may begin to get the word on inflation if the President and Congress are able to ac- | cumulate enough courage to try ! either of two moves—or to make (both at the same time —which j might check the inflationary I spiral. One move would be to cut ; spending in a big way Where it I would hurt—in veterans’ benefits | and all subsidies, for example. :! The other would be to raise taxes, I also in a big way. A hike in the ! gasoline tax is now being disIcussed.. The citizens would get the word, IrigKF enough, in such circumstances and, doubtless, turn ‘ enough heat on President and Conigress to defeat the economies and prevent major tax increases. Inflation Is Here Federal income taxes already (are so high, however, that to inI crease"'them substantially would dangerously di mi n ish personal (purchasing power. -T.— (Andrews, who was President j Eisenhower’s first commission!er of internal revenue, believes the U.S. middle class now is being taxd out of existence at currnt rates—a frightening modern version of the goose and the golden egg. Andrews published last month a brochure showing what the combination of high taxes and inflation have done to the working man’s take home pay purchasing power. Copies may be had from' Economic Research Associates, 6 Iris Lane, Richmond 26, Va.. at 25 cents and well worth it. They are $6 for 100 copies in bulk. If you had in 1939 an income of $2,000, says Andrews, you would have needed in 1957 an income of $4,806 to match your 1939 purchasing power. Os that $2,806 increase, Andrews calculated $2,051 had been absorbed by inflation and $755 represented a loss to an increased tax bite. The $4,000 1939man would have needed $10,097 in 1957. By^i975 r -Andrews a $10,538 income will buy what $2,000 bought in 1939. “In other words,” Andrews wrote, ‘‘we've got inflation.” Man Wounded While Resisting Arrest LEBANON, Ind. (UPD — A Putnam County handyman was reported in "satisfactory” condition in Robert Long Hospital at Indianapolis today, recovering from a bullet wound inflidted Saturday night when he attempted to slash the Jamestown marshal with a knife. Officials at the hospital said Robert Marshall Roe, 39, Barnard, was “improved.” Roe was shot in the abdomen by Marshal Forrest O. Young when he resisted arrest.

Two Automobiles Are Damaged In Wreck An accident occurred Thursday at 8:25 p.m. on U.S. 27 near the St. John’s Lutheran church located approximately seven miles north of Decatur.

Auto Workers Union Awaits Ford Offer Ford Negotiations To Resume Today DETROIT (UPD-An expected contract offer by Ford Motor Co. spurred hopes today of averting a threatened strike against Ford I plants throughout the nation. Ford Vice President John 8. Bugas announced after talks Sunday that he expected to present his company’s offer when negotiations with the United Auto Workers union resume this afternoon. Both Bugas and UAW President Walter P. Reuther said they believed the offer might head off a strike which was scheduled to begin at 10 a m. Wednesday. "If w 6 are close enough together, this will give us enough i time, with hard work, to recon- | cile our differences,” said Bugas at the conclusion of the first Sun- ; day bargaining talks since UAW with the "Big Three" I auto companies expired last Memorial Day weekend. "We are starting to get down s to brass tacks,” he said. “We will do our homework in the morning and I expect that we will have i our offer ready by the time the > main groups meet in the afterj noon.” -! “If we get the offer, it should 1 give us adequate time to work out i i the details before the strike deadline,” Reuther said. "Where there - is a will, and the company has i indicated it is willing, it can be I done.” , Bugas said the offer was not , I yet in formal shape, but was exl pected to be ready by the time ,; the talks began. A solution at Ford might be a i key to coptract agreements at General Motors and Chrysler Corp. ; This was the pattern followed lon negotiations in both 1953 and 1955. In both cases the union ; threatened Ford with a strike . first and then turned on the other i two companies to get contracts ■ even better than it obtained at Ford. Although this is the third ! time Ford has been the target of | the UAW, it has never yet actuI ally undergone a nationwide strike • having settled in all cases before ■ the deadline. If the talks follow the normal pattern from here on out, the union will reject the company offer and come up with a counter offer. The company, in turn, will reject ! the union’s counter offer and then a final agreement will be reached somewhere between the two posiI tions. I The only offers made in 5% months of bargaining before today ■ were a two-year extension of the old contract which the company withdrew when the old contracts expired and a four-point program . which Reuther outlined.

State Property Tax Reduced Seven Cents INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — A 5% million dollar saving for Hooaier property owners was formalized today when the Indiana State Tax Board reduced next year’s state property tax rate by seven cents. The cut was ordered by the 1957 General Assembly to give local communities a source of revenue. Governor Handley said “this is a very important day for taxpayers.” When the full 14-cent reduction goes into effect, it will save taxpayers more than 16 million dollars, Handley said.
