Disn,issa! Of Five Charged
 Union Busting

WASHINGTON, July 20. = The Army denied "union busting charges tooay in the wake of an announcement that it had fired five civilian employees at the Ab- erdeen, Md, prcving ground-scene of many too secret tests.
 The War Department said the five, who included physicists and chemists, were discharged lin the interest of national secusity." It declined to SO into details.
 The fact mat all five are off cers of local 250 of the newly form ed CIO Public Workers of America, it said, is d coincidence and a re- flection on the unions discretion in permitting them to serve"
 Abram FlaAcr, national president of the union who was in Washing ton attending meeting, told a re- porter the action was "an obvious union busting device.'
 Harry SLeCtor, president of the Aberdeen local and one of those dismissed, said This is strictly a union matter"
 Members Of a UPWA delegation which tried vainly to protest to Secretary If War Patterson said the union was carrying on an or ganization alive at Aberdeen and contended the discharge of the To- calls officels was more than a CO., incidence
 The five, removed from their jobs June 2, were described by J H. Mason, Patterson's Assistant in charge Of Industrial relations, as not mere routine employees" He declined however to describe them as scientist
 They were identified by Parks as Harry and living Spector, brothers, Abraham Hotelchuck, Phil Weiss and Rheabel Mendelsohn, the latter 2 woman.

C., where he was called for meet ing of the Bureaus divisional chiefs in the Mining and Metallurgical Branch. at which detailed pro- grams for next year and advance planning for 1948 activities were gone over, today outlined the sch2d- ule for Alaska
 First on the Bureaus list in this Territory is completion of the al- ready launched investigation of Kobuk River asbestos deposits, with their adjacent jade.
 In addition, Sanford expects to see work commenced this year on one or two mercury projects in the Kuskokwim River valley: at the headwaters of the Holitna River and at Rainy Creek, 75 miles south of Bethel

NAH DOCTOR WILL
 HANG FOR CRIMES

VIENNA. July 20.--Dr Ernest Ill- ing, 42, psychiatrist, pleaded for mercy today after an Austrian court sentenced him to hang for murder in the deaths of 250 handicapped children in a provincial hospital
 Tte prosecution had produced evidence that euthanasia was prac- ticed at the hospital for several years by means of drug injections. Victims ranged up to 18 years of age.
 Defense lawyers argued that the mercy deaths" were ordered secret ly by Adolf Hitler while Austria was a part of Germany and that the doctors, under their oath of alleg- lance, were bound to carry out his program.
 Dr. Marianne Tuerk, 32, an assis- tant, was sentenced to 10 years. Another assistant, pr. Marguerite Huebsch, 43, was acquitted

one of the few minerals which car
 stand high transportation costs I Mercury is now selling at about
 s1 40 per pound and the low peace
 time price was almost S1 pound
 Even now there are still two
 economically profitable mercury
 mines operating in the Territory he
 pointed out: The Red Devil Mine near Sleitmut, and the DeCourcey Mountain Mine, which is located
 about halfway between Flat and Crooked Creek
 The two mines were started in answer to wartime urgent need for mercury with the Bureau of Mines being instrumental in their open ing, Sanford said. They are still profitable, even at the present 12- duced price. The Bureau of Mines is soon to have a new, compre- hensive bulletin off the press, deal ing with mercury in Western Alas ka.
 Enroute back from Washington, MT. Sanford stopped off for week at the immense Johns-Man- vile asbestos mine in Quebec Prov ince. Canada, where he gained ad- ditional information regarding the evaluation of asbestos ores With that new knowledge, he is now to head for the Kobuk to join the field party already there. He will leave Juneau Saturday.
 Sanford brought to attention that over year ago the status of the Alas ka B-M was upped from dis trict office to Divisional rank Alas ka is now one of ten B-M Divis- ions. the other nine being in con- rinental United States Previously, the Alaska office was required to report through the regional office at Rolla, Missouri; now it reports directly to Washington, with re- 5ulting streamline procedure. That change of rank only recently was by the Congress.
 The Bureaus purpose in mining is to bridge the gap" prospector and going op- 3ration, Sanford said. The pros Jactor finds ore indications. The Bureau goes in to block out suffi- ,ient quantities and qualities to .ntice capital investment sufficient o work the prospector's discovery.

 T don't think any informed reasonable person can deny the truth of this statement. Carter quotes me as stating they (the nine Senators) were not repre- sentative of the Democratic party. There is quite a difference between the Democratic party and the

 Is. Suppose my estimate last March was far too high, and I have already paid more than my correct tax for 1945. Can I get a refund of the difference? Yes. by filing your regular return and showing the amount of oyerpay- ment in line g, page 1, Form 104O.
 19. Assuming I had enough in come in 1945 to be required to file a declaration, is there a pen ,alty for failing to file or pay the tax due on a declaration? Yes :The penalty is per cent of the Amount due and unpaid, plus one per cent for each additional month-the total penalty not to exceed 10 per cent of the amount unpaid.
 20. Is there a penalty for esti- mating my tax too low? Yes, but only if you underestimate your tax by more than 3S l5 per cent if you are a farmer, or by more than 20 per cent if you are not farm CT.
 21. How much is the penalty for underestimating? The penalty is 6 per cent of the difference be- tween your estimate and the cor rect tax (but not to exceed the to- tai difference between your esti- mate and 6625 per cent of the correct tax if you are a former, or the total difference between your estimate and 80 per cent of the correct tax if you are not a farm CT.
 22. Suppose I filed my 1945 de- clsration last March but now find it is underestimated more than 20 per cent. Can I avoid the penalty? Yes, by filing an amended declara- ton or your annual return by January 15 and correcting the underestimate.
 Suppose I based my 1945 esti- mate on my actual 1914 income. [ Does that excuse me from the pen atty for underestimating? If yon based your estimate on your act Eual 1914 income and figured the tax at 1945 rates and exemptions, there will be no penalty

curate means of controlling it would be remote control of the power by radio. The radar could tell just when 1t got to the proper height and the power could be turned off. Radaf also could tell if the rocket was travelling off it's course and the power could be turned off immediately via radio. The V-12 is known to reach speed of 3,4OO miles per hour on a part of its trajectory. Scientific knowl- edge of the behavior of missiles travelling at this super sonic speed is limited.
 Col. Toftoy admits there are plenty of complicated problems to be solved in the design of a space ship and in its operation.
 D0dging meteors in space is one of them: this might be solved with radar. Another problem would be building cabin which would with stand the terrific pressure changes and heat A vast amount of re- search would still be necessary to improve materials, fuels, etc.
 Once ship got out of the earth's atmosphere, getting back would be another thing. Unless there were some way to slow 1t down when it hit the earth'S atmosphere 1t would become incandescently hot-a ball of ire like a meteor. The V-2 be- came red hot as 1t approached the earth. The answer to this might be in entering the atmosphere a little bit at a time, cutting in and
