(Daily News Photo) Pampa Guard Unit Gets Early Muster Day Call By FLETCHER ROBERTSON Jampa News Austin Bureau AUSTIN There has been some talk not much, but a little that the liberal element in the House which, for the most part, has opposed a general sales tax might want to compromise an a Vgive-a-little, take'-a-little basis and go along, with the measure before it's allovef. Nobody wants to be quoted, but a legislator said the other day there is a good chance that the liberals would approve a board based sales tax if a provision calling for an income lax of 1 per cent on earnings over Jl.OOO is tacked on. Whether the conservative Sales tax group would buy a deal like that is questionable. They conceivably could evaluate the proposition as a means of opening the door to an income tax. Which it would do; And once an income tax law is on the books, it's sure to go up, and probably at frequent intervals.

Pan American World Airways respondent by obtaining a temporary federal court restraining order forbidding the airline's flight engineers either from striking or refusing to accept assignments. A hearing on the ban was for Feb. 27. Thousands of would-be passengers were stranded or forced to find alternate transportation- in both domestic and overseas flights were scores of daily in guerrilla fighting.

Reliable sources have estimated guerrillas are holding out in Las Villns Province against about 30,000 recently recruited militiamen. But insurgent resistance was reported stiffening. Most of the government casualties were reported in the Trinidad- Sanci Spirltus Fomento triangle where the insurgents were said to have repulsed several attempts to dislodge them from their well- protected mountain positions. Military sources emphasised the militiamen completed a double ring around the insurgents to prevent help reaching them by land. They said the casualties were inflicted on units which were ambushed as they moved within these circles.

Cuban army commanders also were portrayed as dismayed over lack of cooperation from peasants in the compounding central Cuba area, prob- American cities and between New! York, San Francisco, Miami and points abroad. At least seven airlines were affected by the stoppage, which "The public is invited to inspect Soviet Spaceship For Venus 'Off Trajectory 1 MOSCOW (UPI) The Soviet inter-planetary spaceship is speeding toward Venus on line "near to the calculated one," the official news agency Tass said Saturday.

Proceeds of the two nights entertainment will go into a Lions Club charitable fund. Max Presnell, who is directing the 1961 edition of the minstrel, said yesterday that this year's production tops anything the club has yet produced. "We have a wonderful cast," he said, "and everyone is helping to whip the show into great shape." The minstrel will be presented in two acts.

There are some 60 persons taking part in this year's Deduction including the chorus, 3ixie Land Band, end men inter- ocutor and the specialty singers and dancers. Several members of this group reportedly have admitted they dont have, a chance of getting an income tax by the House; however, they are quick to add that they have enough support to block a sales tax. And certainly that is withinithe realm of possibility. Governor Daniel has committed himself against a general sales tax and an income tax and probably would veto either one if it passed the Legislature. So if you rule out the sales; payroll and income tax plans, the lawmakers have only one route left to raise the money to meet the financial needs the slate; an expansion'of the'selective ssl.es tax program.

However, sales taxes on additional selected products would mean only a temporary solution to the state's money problem and the legislators would face another financial crisis when they meet for the 58th session of the Legislature in January of 1983. i after Friday night, two hours President Kennedy intervened to try to head off a walkout. Many flight engineers telephoned their offices that they were "sick" and unable to work. Others simply did not report for duty. Officials of the AFL-CIO Flight Engineers Association, with more than 5,000 members, told the men to return to work and get the planes back in the air, but a spokesman for a "rebel" group declared that the engineers would not return to work, "This walkout is out of the union officials hands," the spokes- lem of finding food and housing for its far-flung units.
