Show The $64 question, according to the Foundation, will be deciding how much of a cut should be given to individual income taxpayers and which taxpayer group should benefit most by the reductions. Some member of Congress believe that the biggest slashes should occur in the higher brackets where rates now while others range up to are equally sure that the cuts should start with the lower brackets. THE LEADER. Tremonlon, Ulab Thursday, August 4, 1955 Officers Issue Warning A warning is given to parents this week by Tremonton City officers to check any reports of molesting of children or acts of indecent exposure following the ajrest Monday morning of a transient who is alleged to have exposed himself to a group of girls and married women at the city ball park. The man was taken into custody Monday and was taken to Brigham City Tuesday. Young girls and children should be very careful, in striking up aquaintances with men whom they do not know warns Marshall Jack Hadfield. Small children should also be taught by their parents to avoid accepting candy, and other items from strangers. This community has been fortunate to be free from such molesters the past few years, but transients are moving through the city at this time of the year and every precaution must be taken to avoid such tragedies as have happened in the larger cities of the state, and in other parts of the nation the past few months. i 91, LEADER WANT ADS PAY daughter Gaela were happily surprised Monday evening about 10:30 to receive a telephone call from Gary in Tokyo. He was in Takyo for a week of recreation and rest and was enjoying it very much, after sixteen days of constant rain in Korea. The Giles report that they could hear Gary as well as if the connection were a local one. $40.4 billion is being spent on national defense, $1.8 billion on international affairs, and $4.6 billion for veterans' services and benefits. This totals more than $46 billion. Interest on the national debt takes another $6.3 billion. All the other services of the Federal government cost taxpayers, $9 billion. There is ample opportunity to substantially reduce the $9 billion in domestic governmental spending, and we should do it at once; but the big cut obviously must come in the big defense operations where the big spending is. Important to Taxpayers The Hoover Commission's findings and recommendations in tke area of national defense are thus vitally important to every taxpayer in America. Included in the findings were some fantastic facts relating to food and clothing procurement and handling by the Defense Department. During the last fiscal year ending June 30, 1955, about $1.3 billion was spent on nncAD BILLONS BEING WASTED In this period during which our Federal government is spending about 70 per cent of all the tax money collected on national defense, veterans' benefits and International affairs, we need to do everything humanly possible to cut waste and secure the utmost efficiency in the operation of these major activities. For the years immediately ahead any drastic economy in government spending, and thus any sizable Federal tax cut, must be achieved in this area of national defense In the present fiscal year 17 lt " (Change of Schedule) From TREMONTON, Utah EFFECTIVE MAY 28. 1955 Eastbound 4:50 AM To: 1:25 9:10 PM PM OGDEN, SALT LAKE CITY, CHEYENNE OMAHA, DENVER, PUEBLO, OKLAHOMA CITY, DALLAS, CHICAGO, ST.

Wednesday thru Saturday August 3, 4, 5, 6 roi i IMRIA A group of public spirited citizens each year spend many1 hours in planning, supervising and hard work to organize and perfect all the details necessary to stage our county fair. These people do not receive any remuneration for their work, but have been appointed by the Fair Committee, who have been assigned by the County Commissioners to carry" out this big county-wid- e event. In a recent meeting, some reports were made of inactivity on the part of individuals who have accepted the responsibility, yet to date have not attended any of the planning meetings, throwing an added burden on other members. Organizations and communities are being or will be requested to help 'in final arrangements for the parade and fair, and such assignments should be accepted, in the same manner as though the annual county fair was an individual responsibility of each community, and each civic or service orgamzation in the county The work of one or two individuals has transformed the fair grounds into a much more desirable place in which to hold the county fair, and continued improvement will be made as fast as means can be obtained. A work day has been called for Friday, August i9 to clean up the grounds and the buildings. Last year a dozen or so individuals responded to the call. Why not make it a community and county wide response this year? It's not the fair board, county commissioners, or one community project. It's COUNTY WIDE, and should have! COUNTY WIDE Support.

Why this cost is so huge can be partially seen in the following findings: Although a Navy manual estimates that canned meat and poultry have a "keeping life" of 24 months, a study of 14 Naval supply depots showed 719 months supply of canned hamburger, 79 months' supply of canned beef and gravy, and a 75 month's supply of canned ham chunks. Another item: The Army paid freight on 807,000 pounds of canned tomatoes it bought in New York and shipped to California; and the Navy paid freight on 775,000 pounds of canned tomatoes it bought in California and shipped to the East coast. This constitutes costly mismanagement in the defense Department. Coordination Needed The Hoover Commission recommended that a civilian agency be set up within the Defense Department to administer purchasing, inventory control, and certain other services now handled wastefully by less experienced Army, Navy and Air Force personnel. The Administrator of the new agency would be a presidential appointee. Billions can be saved in the efficient handling of supplying and serving the widespread operations of the department. The Defense Department employs 1,180,000 civilian person-nel- l and approximately 3 milIt lion military personnel. spends directly about $35 billion a year. It holds $66 billion of property in ,military warehouses, including the $,2.7 biltwice lion worth of clothing as much as is needed. By reducing the clothing inventory by 50 percent, $30 million in interest and $3 million in warehousing could be saved the taxpayers of America each year, the Hoover Commission pointed out. UP to Citizens Although efforts have been made since the passage of the National Security Act of 1947 to achieve coordination in the field of supply, the Commission found "no acceptable degree of success." The task for which studied management practices in the department concluded that "a definite program must be outlined which will eliminate unnecessary waste duplicate distribution systems, stocks, facilities and overhead person-el.- " Significantly the Committee found "inertia or strong resistance" on the part of the military towards departments supply and service activities. Some of the toy leaders in American industry and finance, experts in the highly competitive business of keeping expenses down, have spent months at the important task of finding ways and means of saving tax money in the operation of our gigantic Defense Department. The citizens of America now have the responsibility of pushing through to concrete actions the recommendations made by those business experts. ring, of course, war scares or a serious threat of inflation. This forecast was made today by Utah Foundation, the private nonprofit tax research organization. The Utah Foundation forecast is based on two important factors: (1) Federal revenues are far exceeding original expectations, and (2) 1956 will be election year. a presidential Foundation analysts point out that most Washington observers have been freely predicting such tax reductions for some time. i Stephen Qf a mt shouM Murray the f, K. ma t, GRAHAM Produced GREENE by . am PETER CUSHING .

The Foundation report quotas various legislative and administration leaders who predict that the cuts might amount to as much as $5 billion. The Utah Foundation report states that it appears likely that scheduled reductions in the corporation tax finally may be allowed to take effect next year. Corporation taxes, which were "temporarily" increased to 52 during the Korean War, had been scheduled to be reduced on April 1, 1954. How to 47 ever, Wis promised reduction twice has been postponed.
