 Fighters who have suffered previ- ous head injury should be barred from the ring;
 Physicians to examine boxers S should be appointed by the mayor; laws governing matches should be uniform throughout the State; rings should afford more protection to fighters ill development of new mats, ropes and braces;

The W ashing ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-The fight over Pres;dentTruman's labor-bill veto will go down in history as one of the most important of his career It will also be cited by labor and business leaders both for and against Congressmen in every district in fu- tllre elections from coast to coast. It is already being scrutinized by foreign governments and political groups abroad.
 For this reason, post-mortem on what happened backstage may be important.
 Sc far it hasn't leaked out, but Secretary of State Marshall tipped the scales to get President Truman to veto the bill. Hitherto Marshall mas kept hands off most domestic matters.
 At the first meeting of the Cab inet, June 6. only Secretary of La bor Schwellenbach urged the veto. Secretary of Commerce Averell Har- riman, on the other hand, submit ted a strongly worded statement urging Truman to sign. Secretary of the Treasury Snyder supported him
 It was at the. second Cabinet meeting, June 13, that Secretary Marshall entered the discussion. At

PRESIDENT SIGNS
 APPROPRIATIONS
 FOR TWO DEpY.
Truman Critieizes Funds. However, Provided for
 Tax Collection

WASHINGTON, July 1. = R- President Truman today signed the SIP, ,402. .485, ,671 Treasury-Post Office appropriations bill but criticized what he termed the gross made quacy" of funds provided for tax collection.
 "The administration of the tax ing statutes should never be influ- enced by political considerations MT. Truman said in statement, adding:
 People of all political faiths are called upon to support their gov ernment through the payment of taxes and are entitled to adequate administrative controls to insure that the dishonest do not shift their share to the honest"
 The total of the two departments is about 883,00O000 less than MT. Truman asked for operations in the fiscal year beginning today. But he objected specially to a $20,000,000 cut which he said was made in funds for the Treasurys Internal Revenue Bureau.

BILL
 FOR HAWAII IS NOW AT HALFWAY MARK

WASHINGTON, July l. - R- Hawaii's 50-year-old bid for state hood rested at the Congressional halfway mark today.
 The House passed bill yester- day to admit the islands as the 49th State. But Senate action this year appears unlikely.
 Chairman Butler (R. Neb,) of the Senate Public Lands Commit tee told a reporter it will be i'm possible" to bring the measure to the Senate floor before Congress adjourns late this month.
 He said it is possible, but not probable" that he and other mem- bers of the committee may visit the islands this fall, before Congress re- convenes, and hold hearings on the question, that would permit the Sem ate to act on the measure early in 1948.
 Meanwhile, Butler suggested that some thought be given to his own proposal to make Hawaii a Cali fornia county.
 Joseph R. Harrington, Hawaii's non-voting Republican Delegate to Congress, made it clear to the House, however, that Hawaii wants state hood and nothing else.

CLAIMS LAM00RE WAS INVOLVED IN
 MURDER OF ELLEN
Confession of Nelson Stays Execution = SLIGO
 Stolen Recovered

In seeking the stay-of f-execution signed yesterday in U. s. District Court at Ketchikan by Federal Judge George w. Folta, U. s. Dis trict Attorney Patrick J. Gilmore, Jr., stated that Eugene LaMoore was the alleged partner of Austin Nelson in the murder and robbery of Juneau groceryman Jim Ellen. Dec. 9, 1946.
 Gilmore said, in requesting the reprieve, that Nelson made con- fession, over the weekend, implicat- ing LaMoore in his crime. LaMoore is already in the Juneau Federal Jail awaiting a Grand Jury indict- ment for perjury leading from tes- timony he gave during Nelson's trial
 Nelson. who was scheduled to die on the gallows today, had steadily maintained his innocence in Ellen's murder until this new development arose last weekend. His confession, according to an Associated Press dispatch from Ketchikan, also led authorities to the recovery of $1,- 100 which had been taken from Ellen's store where the murder and robbery occurred.
 Gilmore stated that Nelson is an indispensable witness in the case against La Moore. The execution was stayed until August 1.
 Nelson had repeatedly attempted to place the full blame on LaMoore but law enforcement officials knew that he was also implicated and demanded a full confession before involving LaMoore. An official com plaint has not yet been signed against LaMoore pending com plete investigation of the facts in Nelson's confession

NEW LEvEE BREAK IS
 REPORTED
Mississippi River Contin- ues Rdmpaging Aided
 by Heavy Rains

ST. LOUIS, July 1. R-New levee breaks along 90-mile stretch of the Mississippi River forced evacuation of additional thousands today as the rampaging river. al- ready at a l03-year peak, continued to rise from heavy overnight rains
 The town of Dupo, Ill, (pop. g. 600) eight miles south of here. was abandoned when the rising flood waters preached a secondary levee on the Illinois Central Railroad tracks about a mile behind the first levee which was abandoned during the night.
 The waters also bypassed the Mis- souri Pacific Railroad embankment which saved Dupo in the last big flood of l944.
 The 600 residents of nearby East Cardonelet and 800 in the sur- rounding area also were evacuated.
 Eighty miles to the south the river broke the Degognia- Fountain Bluff levee in two spots driving approxi- mately 600 persons from the vil- lages of Gorham and Neunert, Ill.
 As result of this break. flood waters pouring down an inland val ley threatened to isolate the town of Grand Tower. III.
 Mayor Jesse Grammer estimated about one-third of Grand Tower was in danger of being flooded but said he expected residents in the higher part of the town would be able to care for those forced from their homes

TRUMAN CAUSES
 BL0WUp
Demand for Investigation of Real Estate Lobby
 Raises Big Storm

WASHINGTON, July 1.--IR-Pre- sident Truman's call for a Congress sional investigation of what he termed "brazen operations" by a real estate lobby blew up a storm on Capitol Hill today. Senator Taft of Ohio, Chairman of the Senate's Republican Policy Committee commented that he wouldn't mind running such an in- quiry himself.
 But his Ohio colleague, Senator Bricker called MT. Trumans pro- posal "the cheapest kind of politi- cal demagoguery." And Senator Sparkman D-Ala) said he was for an investigation but instead of singling out the real estate lobby let's investigate them all"
 Officials of real estate organiza- tions were indignant. In his message advising Congress that he had signed the rent bill yes- terday, MT Truman asserted a real estate lobby has constantly sought to weaken rent control and to do away with necessary aids to hous- ing.,
 That Army Status Two influential Republicans in the House challenged a statement by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower that the U. s. Army is a poor second to Russia's.
 Rep. Short CMo), second ranking .17talber of the Armed Services Committee, called it "propaganda for universal military training"
 Rep Allen GID, Rules Committee Chairman, asked: What have our military leaders been doing with all the billions furnished them? It seems that somebody ought to ex- plain how our army got into a 'second-rate' position--if it is sec- ond-rate-on more money and SUD- plies than Russia has for its so-call- ed first-class military establish ment."
 ! Eisenhower made the statement last week to Senate Appropria- tions Committee while arguing that $435, ,000,00 which the House cut out of the Army's budget should be restored.
 ''V0ice of America"
 The start of the 1948 fiscal veal found Congress still undecided how much to give the State Department for it's voice of America" radio broadcasts to Russia and other for eign lands.
 The Senate voted $11,970,000 fol the broadcasts, with limit of $l,- 157,000 for hiring talent to write and produce programs. Other pro- grams would be obtained by con- tracts with commercial radio chains
 The House, which failed to vote any funds for the voice of Amer ica," has yet to accept the Senate's | legislation.

Alaska Indians, Federal Agencies Attempting 10
 SetfIe Pulp Differences
By CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, July l. - R- Alaska Indians expect to ask the House Agriculture Committee to work out some plan to protect their interests if the Forest Service is authorized to sell stumpage rights to 5000,000 acres of timber in South east Alaska.
 A hearing which was to have been given them today was postponed until later in the week because Isaac c. Sutton, counsel for the Indian Rights Association, failed to show up.
 At Senate committee hearings two weeks ago counsel for the Indians opposed the proposal of sale to paper and pulp mills to develop the industry in the Territory
 He contended that the Indians own ten per cent of the land and should be permitted to sell direct to the paper companies.
 Forest Service officials testified the timber will support five 3O000,- 900 paper mills and said two of them were about ready to conclude nego- tiations for timber. They contended the paper companies would drop their plans if they have to negotiate with the Indians.
 Four of the Indian leaders, Frank Peratrovich of Klawock, member of the Territorial Senate, and Andrew Hope of Sitka, Frank Johnson of Rake and Fred Grant, Sr, of Hyda- burg and their counsel, James Cur ", conferred yesterday with rep- resentatives of the Forest Service, Delegate Bartlett of Alaska and Ag- riculture Department representa- tives.
 No conclusion was reached on the i proposed legislation but the discus sion returned to previous pro- posal that the Indians be given ten per cent of the receipts from timber sales with the remainder held in the Treasury until their rights are decided If they accepted that pro- posal. Bartlett said, it would ex- tinguish the Indian rights to the timber.
 The legislation under considera- ton would require that all receipts be held in the Treasury until the rights of the Indians are decided
 When the proposal to pay the In- dians ten per cent was first brought up the Justice Department opposed it on the ground that it was in effect recognition of the justness of the Indian claims.
