CLARA BOW LEFT
OUT OF HUSBAND S WILL
LAS VEGAS, Nev. UP) — Lt. Gov.
Rex Bell left the bulk of his estate
to two sons and made no bequest
to his widow, former movie star
Clara Bow.
In a will filed for probate Wed
nesday, Bell’s estate was estimated
only as “in excess of $10,000.”
The will, dated Nov. 17, 1961,
mentioned Miss Bow, the one time
“It Girl,” only in a clause declar
ing, “I am married to Clara Bow
Bell, but . . . we have lived se
parate and apart for many years.”
Miss Bow has lived in seclusion
for 10 years or more in the Los
Angeles area. However, she came
out last Monday to attend a second
funeral service for Bell, conducted
in Glendale, Calif. The initial rites
were conducted in Las Vegas.
Miss Bow drew top fees as a
star in movies of the 1920’s, and
friends have assumed she retired
with a fortune in her own right.

Biggest Bulk of
Federal Tax Cut
WASHINGTON W — The big
gest federal tax cut of anv kind
since 1954 went into effect yes
terday. Business gets the bulk of
the $1.5 billion reduction, designed
to spur faster economic growth.
President Kennedy announced
the cut Wednesday and noted that
the principal pressure for it came
from the business community. Many
businessmen have been extremely
critical of his policies in recent
months.
Secretary of the Treasury Doug
las Dillon told a news conference
the tax cut — which also will bene
fit professional people and farmers
—should have a quick impact on
the economy. He said many busi
nesses have promised to use tax
savings to increase their invest
ments in the latest machinery and
equipment. And he forecast an up
trend in orders for these items in
the next couple of months.
The action, ordered by the Treas
ury which didn’t need congression
al approval, offers larger tax
deductions to firms investing in
newer, more efficient facilities.
And larger deductions obviously j
will mean lower tax payments.
Initial reaction from business :
spokesmen and congressional lead
ers generally was favorable. The
sweeping overhaul of the tax de- 1
preciation system — the first in at
least two decades — was designed
specifically to meet business com
plaints that the old system was
stunting economic progress.
JFK Postpones Brazil Visit
RIO DE JANEIRO dPi — Presi
dent Kennedy has postponed until
November the Brazilian visit he
had scheduled to begin July 30.
This was announced last night by
a U.S. Embassy spokesman after
Pierre Salinger, White House Sec
retary, had talked at Brazilia
with President Joao Goulart.

COMMENTS

BY VIRN1 O. MARTIN
Republican for Governor
Of the Republican candidates
for governor, three of us are at
torneys and one is a doctor. We
are members of proud and in
dependent professions making
daily decisions affecting the
freedom, the well being, and even
the lives of others. It is so very
easy to be fair and just when
our decisions affect only other
people; it is different when our
own futures are involved.
When we seek political office
every decision affects our own
political future. Here is where
we separate the men from the
boys. The men will continue to
follow their convictions of in
dividual freedom and liberty
and justice for all regardless of
voter appeal; the others will drift
like a will-of-the-wisp before
the political winds.
The issue of right to work
will separate the men from the
boys in this campaign. Labor
union officials are so powerful
and uncontrolled that the work
ing man needs protection from
tyrants within the unions. As
right to work law will give this
protection without affecting, in
the slightest, the ability of labor
unions to improve wages and
working conditions. The men in
this campaign will support the
American principle of right to
work; the others will knuckle
under to the power of labor offi
cials. Alaska needs a man at the
helm of its ship of state, and I
have proven that I am a man by
endorsing right to work, the
right of every man to seek, to
find, and to keep a the job of
his choice.
