The committee voted to increase income taxes $2,950,000,000 a year. The increase would raise taxes in every bracket by 3 percentage points. For instance, a single man with a net income of $2,000 a year would pay $322 in taxes instead of $280. This would be an increase from 20 per cent to 23 per cent In the second bracket ($2,000 to $4,000), the tax would go up from 22 to 25 per cent and in the third bracket ($4,000 to $6,000), from 26 to 29 per cent. In general, the increase in each persons tax would be about the same as the jump which took place under the first war-ta- x bill passed last year. This proposed taxation is tentative, however, and subject to possible changes by the house, the senate finance committee, and the full senate.

Potato chips, frozen French fries, potatoes and consumer- - packaged potatoes, as well as an aggressive advertising campaign offer hope to potato growers. Grading and labeling have been effective in publicizing Milne and Iowa potatoes, and it is hoped that the campaign will eventually help to reverse the downward trend in potato consumption which has taken place in the past three decades. Potato chips now account for about 9 per cent of all potatoes consumed, taking about $2 million bushels in 1950. This represents over 80 per cent of the potatoes processed for food, and constitutes a $200 million business. d potatoes, treated to prevent darkening, and used chiefly by restaurants or institutions, are meeting wide acceptance. pre-peel- plained: Both are about to collapse from sheer age and fatigue.

From the time this nation was founded politicians have tried to keep in close contact with the home towns in an effort to know and understand what the average man is thinking. Very few of them, however, have succeeded. With this in mind. Secretary of Defense Marshall made a bold statement during his contestimony on the MacArthur-Truma- n troversy when he asserted the American people will stand with the administration on military policy in Korea. Marshall believes the average home-townhas no desire to expand the war in Asia. He believes the American people are on the side that the defense department, the joint chiefs of staff, and the civilian authority of the government favor. This side, Marshall asserted, involved a settled conviction that the present policy of limited commitment of force in Korea must go on. MILL VALLEY, Calif. The Mill Valley Record, published weekly in the community of Mill Valley (population 4,800), recently started a campaign entitled the Red Movement. Its purpose: proy tickets out of town viding for all Communists. In a large advertisement recently, the newspaper stated: It has been stated, whether correct or not, that Mill Valley is the haven for a great many Communists and Communist sympathizers. A San Francisco newspaper recently spoke of the seemingly respectable citizens who are making Mill Valley into a little Kremlin for local Commies. We dont like this kind of publicity. It is bad for our community. If there are large numbers of Communists here, let us make it possible for them to go elsewhere so that Mill Valley can rid itself of this reputation and once again stand out as one of the finest residential communities to be found Pre-peele- World Pries Record 1 Not since the cow jumped over the moon baa beef ever been so high as it was when Andrew Tatsch (right) sold his champion steer to B.
