The reduction in income taxes will result from implementation of the "in- dexing" law that was enacted in 1981 to reduce inflation's effects on the tax system. Indexing will adjust the tax system automatically every year to prevent "bracket creep" - the phenomenon that pushes a taxpayer in- to a higher tax bracket when he or she receives a pay raise to offset an in- crease inliving costs. The Labor Department yesterday established the limits of the 1985 tax cut when it announced that the Consumer Price Index had increased by 4.1 per- cent during the 12 months that ended Sept. 30. That same announcement triggered a 3.5 percent increase in Social Security benefits next year and set the stage for a boost in the taxes that finance the giant pension system. Sen William Armstrong (R-Colo.) author of the indexing provision, hailed the announcement. "Tax indexing is finally here and with it comes tax reform for middle America, a more honest and fair tax law, and an end to the government's profit from inflation," Armstrong said.

If Reagan wins, there will definitely be an invasion in Central America, and if Mondale, maybe." BOSTON (AP) - Forget ghouls and goblins. This Halloween, the owner of the country's largest costume shop says Reagan and Nixon masks are selling like crazy, along with Michael Jackson gloves at $14.95 a shot. Mr. T and his gold chains are very popular, but remarkably few customers want to look like Walter Mondale or Geraldine Ferraro. "REAGAN IS a very, very big seller. I say we sell about 12 a day, even more than that," David Bertolino said yesterday at his store, Little Jack Hor- ner, Inc. "The other day someone from Mondale headquarters came down and bought a Reagan mask. Don't know. what they plan to do with it. "And Nixon is hot. Easily as popular as Reagan," Bertolino continued. "I guess people still love to hate him. Sometimes they come in and buy the Nixon mask and then buy handcuffs or a ball-and-chain to go with it." This year is Little Jack Horner's 50th year in business in downtown Boston. As usual, says Bertolino, political costumes are making him money. The masks of President Reagan and former President Nixon sell for $25 to $40, depending on the amount of detail in the disguise. THE STORE has sold out its 1,200 masks of Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, but still has a few John Ken- nedy masks available. Yesterday, one went to a professional-looking young man who refused to identify himself. He told Ber- tolino he planned to spend Halloween as "Jack Kennedy for Reagan." "I got the idea while I was watching the news last night," the man said, referring to a recently publicized letter from Reagan to Nixon written in 1960. In the letter, Reagan compared Ken- nedy's ideas to those of Karl Marx and Adolf Hitler. "I'm going with two friends who are dressing up as Marx and Hitler," said the man. "It's a joke - get it? Kennedy for Reagan." "Oh, yes, I see. Very funny," said Bertolino with a shrug. A Republican himself, he has grown accustomed to the gamut of political persuasions. He was prepared to order 5,000 masks of Democratic presidential challenger Walter Mondale several months ago, but then decided against it. "If he doesn't win, I'm stuck with thousands of Mondales staring at me. Then I've got to hope then that someone down the line looks like him," he said. "You have to stick by the numbers and the polls," he said. "We don't take any party lines. We just order what they are asking for." So far, he says, only a few people have sought a Mondale mask or one of his running mate. 7 HAIRCUTTERS " NO WAITING DASCOLA STYLISTS Liberty off State ......668-9329 Maple Village7.......761-2733 'Reagan is a very, very big seller.
