Come in and sec the new SO "NO CHARGE FOR CREDIT" -Bring Your film For-Developing to Jhe Handiest Spot In Town" HAYS, INC, 28 W. Woshington St. RE 3-9620 (AP) Presi- lent Eisenhower has pul on the looks new laws lightening tax oads in a few fields, increasing he national debt ceiling and providing 887 million dollars in education aid. He has killed by pocket veto a bill to increase federal aid to airports from the current 63 million dollars a year to 100 million, and continue it until the middle of 1862 Those are highlights of Eisen- iower's action at his vacation icadquarlers late yesterday on 117 bills which Congress sent to him shortly before it adjourned Aug 24. The President now has only 18 other pieces of legislation still be- bre him for decision by midnight Talurday.

The major measure remaining would launch a 275-million-dollar new program to help chronically depressed city and rural areas. Eisenhower's action on the 11, bills came during a 214-hour work at his temporary offices at the Newport naval base after he had played 18 holes of golf. He signed 105 bills into (aw anc vetoed a dozen, nearly all in that category minor. Advance research on all of (he bills had been done for him by aides, principally White House special counsel Gerald D. Morgan who arrived by plane from Washington shortly before Eisenhower went lo his office.

The major bills Eisenhower signed into law: 1. Provide multi'million-dolla, tax relief to small business and make scores of technical changes in the tax laws. Those changes provide special new advantages to some classes of taxpayers, while at the same lime blocking loopholes which have given unintend ed benefits to others. 2. Cut excise (sales) taxes foi folks who ride in air laxies, anc ease the Sax burden on whisky dis tillers.and movie tickets.

This bill juggling excise levy fealures wil cost the government an eslimater. 42 million dollars annually in tax revenue. The revisions are ef fective next July 1. 3. Raise the national debt limit 1 lo 288 billion dollars, highest in J.S.

peacetime history. Thai is a temporary ceiling--up five billion dollars from the current temporary one--until next Juno 30. The new law also hikes the permanent statutory limit from' 275 to 283 billion dollars. 4. Provide $887,400,000 over a tour-year period for "national de- Tense" federal aid to education in increasingly scienlific age.

The plan fealures loans of up to $1,000 a year to college students who meet standards. In signing the education aid bill, Eisenhower said it doesn't go far enough. For one thing, Congress refused to authorize the federal scholarship program he recommended. Eisenhower nevertheless called it a constructive and sound piece of legislation. The new law also provides fellowships for trainees for college teaching.

Also authorized are federal grants for science equipment foreign language training insti lutes, and education counseling. As for the two tax measures approved, one authorizes distillers to hold whisky in bonded warehouses for up to 20 years without paying the $10.50 a gallon alcohol tax The present limit is eight years The new provision applies to present supplies as well as output. That bill also increases from 90 cents to SI the portion of the cost of a movie theater ticket exempt from excise tax. It also exempts teen-ager "milk bars" from excise levies, and knocks out Ihe federa club dues lax on community swim ming pools and skating rinks. The other tax measure aimec chiefly at helping small business -to the tune of 260 million dol lars in federal revenue loss the first year--also closes such loop holes as a man's listing a mistress as a dependent for tax purposes The smalt business aids include speeding up of depreciation for tax purposes on new plant and equip mcnt costs, and letting heirs pay estate taxes over 10 In vetoing a 100-niillion-dollar-a year airport aid bill, Die Presiden said the time has come for the federal government to pull out the city and slate airport develop mcnt program.

Devereux made a highly critical personal at- ack last night on State Comptroller J. Millard Tawes, his Democratic opponent for governor of Maryland. While Devereux was opening what he called a new phase ot his ca'lnpaign in Annapolis, the usually boisterous Democrats attended a quiet harmony meeting in Towson. Even George P. Mahoney attended and added smiles and friendly statements.

Tawes was challenged by. Devereux to disclose his plans for rehabilitating "our potentially great, but now seriously sick oyster industry." The Republican candidate said lie favors the leasing of barren oyster bottoms in Chesapeake Bay to private interests, as provided in his party's platform. The Democratic platform calls (or creation of an agency to study and promote the rehabilitation of.the industry More a 100 Democratic leaders and precinct workers from Baltimore, Harford, Howard and Carroll counties attended the harmony meeting in Towson. Mahoney made a speech praising Tawes and Thomas D'Alesandro, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate who whipped Mahoney in the primary.

Mahoney pledged his support to D'Alesandro. Tawes said he didn't like to hear talk the election was in the bag and said he was "running scared. The comptroller also read statement saying he had diligently and honestly devoted myself to perform the task before me." Tawes said he woufd not indulge in personalties during the cam paign because'he thought it wa: "an evidence of weakness." Olhcr speakers included Loui: L. Goldstein, candidate for comp (roller and C. Ferdinand Syberi seeking re-election as attornc general.
