GOP Pledges It Will Cut
Taxes For Low And
Middle Income Families
SAN FRANCISCO, Repub
licans held out to the nation’s
voters today a campaign pledge
to cut taxes for low and middle
income families and for small in
dependent businesses.
The promise was contained in
the completed draft of the GOP
platform expected to be approved
by the party’s convention later
in the day.
In saying they were for a tax
cut, the Republicans never said
how it should be accomplished.
They did not get as specific as
the Democratic pledge at their
Chicago convention last week to
raise the personal income tax ex
emption from $600 to $800.
The proposed GOP platform
cautioned that government econ
omy no matter how desirable,
should not come at the price of
a weakened national defense.

Bridges at Toko-Ri
Is Mighty Film
Of Love, Heroism
That rare thing has happened
— an action movie told in the
warm flesh - tones of everyday
Americans faced with a tremen
dous duty. It is Paramount’s
stirring version of James A. Mich
ener’s great novel of the Korean
war, “The Bridges At Toko-ri,”
playing tonight and tomorrow at
The Theater.
Filmed in color by Technicolor
and starring William Holden,
Grace Kelly, Fredric March and
Mickey Rooney, the* film relates
the heart-gripping tale of men at
war and the women they leave
behind. Told in the broad terms
of the operations performed by
the Naval flying arm it also
focuses on the personal emotional
problems that arise when men are
confronted by the awful necessity
to kill or be killed.
This is effected by the detailed
exposition of, first the Admiral,
Fredric March whose awesome
duty it is to send the brave young
men out to what might possibly
be their doom. One such flyer, in
the person of William Holden,
undergoes a tense emotional
problem which involves his devo
tion to his wife and his loyalty
to his country. Holden’s wife,
Grace Kelly, forcibly brings out
in him his need for survival.
However when the most dan
gerous assignment of the cam
paign, the bombing of the almost
impregnable bridges at Toko-ri,
falls on his shoulders he does not
shirk his duty. It is this final
climactic bombing mission that
explodes the film into its soul
stirring conclusion.
The acting of the principals is
superb and the almost fantastic
aerial photograph is the best ever
seen.
j Council To Meet Again Tonight
The special meeting of the City
Council announced for Monday
evening was postponed due to the
lack of a quorum again. However,
another special meeting has been
called for this evening to open
bids on street work and probably
take care of other business.
The word “pencil” originally
meant a small, fine-pointed brush
used in painting. The finer
.camel’s-hair and sable brushes
used by artists are still called
“pencils," and the word is derived
from a Latin term meaning “little
tail.”
