Coast Guard and a member of Salem United Methodist Church and Candidates Won't Back NNEA Continued From Page 6 port legislation designed to simplify and equalize the tax codes, reduce the tax burden and stimulate the economy, The most are pressing needs, he said, from inflation and tax incentives to stimulate the economy and provide jobs. Specifically, he proposed adjusting all personal income tax brackets to account for inflation, pointing out that cost-of-living pay increases shove recipients in a higher tax bracket and the government gets a big cut, leaving the worker further behind the rising cost of living. He would support cuts in individual income taxes to increase the buying power of consumers. He would also cut taxes for businessmen to courage plant investment, modernization and expansion which would create jobs, reduce unemployment and yield income tax revenues from persons now unemployed or underemployed. Trible also called an independent mission to study the tire U.S.

tax system a local, state and federal with an eye toward you heard be long before charging for assistance there, too? Inflation has claimed another victim. We have to start charging for directory assistance in Virginia. Last year, Telephone spent $12 million for directory assistance. But at the same time, we spent $4 million printing and distributing your Telephone directories. That's a double cost.

And if you pay twice for something when you don't have to, that double cost eventually works its way back to you. The customer. And that's what we want to avoid. Studies have shown that most people use directory assistance for just a few calls a month. About of directory assistance calls are made by only of our customers.

Most people look up numbers themselves, because most of the numbers you need to find are right there in your directory. So you'll still be able to make 6 direct-dialed calls a month to the Directory Assistance Operator at no additional cost. After the first 6, each directory assistance call will ing a more uniform, simple and efficient tax structure. Long range, serious consideration should be given abolition of virtually all loopholes he said. This would permit taxation rates to be dramatically reduced and simplify the tax code and the preparation of income tax returns.

Trible also warned that tax relief must be accompanied by restraints on spending. He told the business and professional women he also would work for reform of the Social Security law which now discriminates against working women by making them choose between the retirement benefits she has paid for out of her own earnings and her entitlements, as a survivor, to her spouse's.
