ern Pacific rescue train is pillow

In the first 20 miles, 200 motor

states.
But Wyoming had even a

Southern California was hit to-

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Jan.
1.-THE Fair Deal" social Sc
curity program will cost Monroe
County workers and industry
minimum of more than 100000
q year, it was learned today.
This is in contrast to the APP
proximate $4,000 a year now
paid out in old-age and survivors
insurance taxes, according to
latest available social security
payroll records for the county.
While details of the Admins
tration program for verall
social security have not been
worked out, the basis for paying
the cost has been pretty well de
termined by the Federal Security
Administration.
Right off the bat the program
will increase the payroll tax from
the present one percent to a
total of 3.23 percent. All sums
! paid by workers will be matched
by employers, and this means
| each will kick in over 100000
each, more than the combined
total now paid.
Moreover, it will be paid on
all income up to $4,000 per year,
in contrast to the present $4,000
limitations. Costs of the new pro-
gram are estimated on the basis
; of present taxable payrollS, 50
the increased taxable income
would raise the total cost of the
program above the 100000, plus
approximation.
The increase in the old age
and survivors insurance tax from
one to one and d half per cent
viii add about $4,000 to the cost
in Monroe County, before the
tax on the extra thousand dollars
Of income} is computed. Z
: The one-fourth Of one per cent
tax for the health program will
cost in the neighborhood of $16.-
900. and this would be upped
considerably when the eventual
tax reaches a maximum of two
per cent.
The tax for temporary disa-
bility benefits will take another
$4,000 out of the county, while
the one percent tax for perma-
nent disability adds up to another

(ANADA,U.5. MAKE PLANS
 FOR DEFENSE
Alaska Highway Is to Be Major Faltor r-Maneuv-
 CTS for February

OTTAWA, July -tR- The Alaska Highway is shaping up as major factor in joint Canadian United States planning for defense. It would be key route in an enemy invasion of the north.
 With airborne assault maneuvers, Canadian and American forces are .oing to stage their biggest joint peacetime military exercise along the Yukon stretch of the highway in February. Small advance ele- ments of the US. Army already have started moving into place to prepare accommodations.
 Army and Air Force units ot both countries will take part in a mock operation that will constitute a follow-up to Exercise Eagle" which Canadian land and air forces will stage over 120 miles of Northern Alberta and British Columbia early in August. Results of the August exercise, embracing the first 50 miles of the highway, will play part in the winter aftermath.
 The highway extends 1900 miles from Dawson Creek to Fairbanks, Alaska, and is officially known by the Army-which maintains it-as the Northwest Highway System.

BLONDE GIRL E
 FREED BY JURY,
 KILLING TRAGEDY

WAUKEGAN, H., July 28.-tR- Joyce Schumaker, an 18-year -old pale, blonde girl was released from jail last night. freed by jury of murdering her 53-year-old paramour.
 There was an outburst of cheers from the courtroom crowd as the clerk read the circuit court jury's verdict, which was reached after 40 minutes deliberation. Many bobby soxers, former schoolmates of Joyce, were among the court room crowd of 200.
 T was really worried until I heard the verdict" Joyce said as she embraced her mother.
 Joyce, IT pounds lighter after her four months in jail awaiting trial for the staying of Carl Reeder, 53- year-old school clerk, said she was uncertain about her future. She said she may become missionary or, perhaps, a professional softball player.
 Joyce was on the witness stand for 21a hours yesterday. She con- tended that the shot which killed Reeder as they sat in his car on the Lake Michigan beach last Ap- Til 4, was fired accidentally as they grappled for the gun.
 She testified she had sexual rela- tions with Reeder during her early courtship with him. before she learned he was married Reeder, she said, repeatedly demanded that she marry him after he obtained divorce and she repeatedly re- fused.

sored by Senator Mcclellan O. Ark).
 Lucas's fight to kill the McClel- Ian amendment led finally to q ruling by Vice President Barkley which was challenged by Senator Taft (R-Ohio). The Senate sided with Taft ty a vote of 5l to 38.
 BILL CHALLENGED
 And then Mcclellan challenged the entire bill with a point of order which automatically sent the measure back to the committee.
 The basic issue was not European Recovery-but whether the amend ments violated Senate, rules by writing new legislation into an appropriations bill The Constitu- ton requires that all appropria- tions originate in the House.
 Barkley told reporters the people of Europe should not be alarmed )y the vote--because it was purely technical matter of Senate rules. He predicted foreign aid money pill will be passed.
 But the action wiped out four lays of Senate debate and left the issue hanging in doubt possibly for weeks.
