HERE IS HOW I STAND
The Governor has called a special session of the Legisature to increase taxes.
He has full authority to do this whether the legislators like it or not.
Most of us do not like it. However, since he has issued his call, I think that we
should give his proposals careful and courteous consideration. As Chairman of
the Ways and Means Committee, I promise to exert every effort to see that the
committee studies the bills on their merits and without regard to personalities.
Also, as Chairman I will see that the committee takes up the bills at the earliest
possible moment.
/
The special session is to begin Thursday, and the Governor is scheduled to
address it at noon. I will call a committee meeting not more than on hour after
he finishes speaking, and we will begin work at once. Since the full Legislature
cannot consider the measures until after the committee reports them out, im
mediate action will help reduce the number of days required, and since the pay
is on a day-to-day basis, it will help keep expenses down.
Personally, I think that the Governor's program would be much better if he
would find some way to insure property tax (ad valorem) relief. Without it,
there will be no tax revision, merely tax increases if his bills pass. An increased
sales tax would not necessarily help the property tax situation. I think that if the
sales tax is increased, the property tax should be reduced or at least stabilized.
Otherwise, property taxes will keep going up.
Sincerely,
QUIMBY MELTON, JR.

New Picture In Works
‘Suppose They Gave A
War And Nobody Came’
By DICK KLEINER
Hollywood Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD — (NEA) —For
Tony Curtis, the end Os taboos
has been the beginning of bet
ter things.
We sat in his dressing room
between shots on his new film,
"Suppose They Gave a War and
Nobody Came.” And Tony, who
is one of Hollywood’s best talk
ers, talked about the way the
film business has been chang
ing lately.
"There are better parts
around now,” he said, “a n d
that’s because of the change in
the philosophy of film-making.
“Motion pictures always used
to reflect Christian morality.
That was the basis of what you
could do and what you couldn’t
do. But that’s all changed now.
They don’t adhere to Christian
morality any more.
"Now there are no more ta
boos.”
Curtis says that anything goes
today. In our talk, he wasn’t
discussing the right and wrong
of this change, but simply that
it exists, and what it means to
him, as an actor.
"Today, he said, "when I
get a script offered, there is us-

an actor, an interesting charac

"I have an interesting charac
ter to play in this movie, and
I have one in my next, ‘The
Dubious Patriot,’ which will be
shot in Turkey.”
In “Suppose They Gave a War
and Nobody Came,” he’s play

dles. It’s a story — obviously,
from the title, an antiwar story
—about three old soldiers and
their conflict with the new Ar

The set was a working bar
and grill somewhere in the Sou

Hut, and the waitresses, in keep,

The script doesn’t mention the
location of The Hula Hut. Don
McGuire, who write it, had spe

reference.

"A writer should never be on
the set,” he said. “It’s too trau
matic.”
Between takes, the extras —
soldiers, girls, civilians —hung
around the bar as though it were
Saturday night in East Ginger
snap. They played the pinball
machine and the juke box and
and conversation, until the as
sistant director quieted them
down.
That gave director Hy Aver
back a chance to tell me h i s
conception of the story.
“This,” he said, “is a story of
men out of time — middle-aged
TONY CURTIS
men who are still in the Army.
It’s a comedy, but it has some
thing to say.”
Fred Engel, a cherubic-faced
man, said that the title was tak
en from the bumper sticker of
the same name. It is probably
the most popular bumper stick
er on the West Coast, but En
gel says it isn’t as well-known
around the country.
Engel says he put his own mo
ney into developing the story
and McGuire’s script. The ori
ginal story, he said, he bought
from "a strange man who had
some of it written on the back
of restaurant menus.”
Now, maybe he can buy his
own restaurant.
