PRESIDENT GIVES MIDYEAR REPORT TO CONGRESS; fl
 REQUESTS ARE SUBMITTED
By STERLING F. GREEN

WASHINGTON. July 1l.-IR- President Truman today cancelled his call for a $4,000, 100000 tax increase. He bowed to temporary deficit spending policy to head off any depression.
 NO major increase in taxes should be undertaken at this time, were the Presidents words. Also We cannot expect to achieve a budget surplus in a declining na- tiona1 economy"
 In a stunning reversal of his stand, MT. Truman sent to Congress midyear economic report wiped clean of his past demands for price, wage or other business con- trols.
 InStead-stating that unemploy- ment is acute in some areas--he proposed II new laws to build up jobs and production, boost consum- CT income and buying power, and loosen federal lending.
 All the ideas were familiar. Most were not drastic. They included public works planning, but not more public works; the Grammar farm plan; expansion of Social Security and jobless pay; extended CT bene- fits.
 No Crisis Action
 Crisis action isn't needed, MT Truman said, because the economy still is strong and healthy. It can hit a soaring annual output oi well above $3O0,00O, ,0O0, 900" in 6 few years, he predicted. That is one-fifth higher than today's na. tional production.
 But there is nothing health. about more unemployment or les rrcduction,' Congress was told Such trends can and must be re- versed by positive action, private and public

The w ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON- Here are some things to remember about the Brit ish monetary maneuverings which amiable Secretary of the Treasury John Snyder is trying to straighten out. The story goes back to war days, but can be summarized chap ter by chapter.
 Chapter 1-BrettOn Woods: At the Breton Woods monetary con- ference in 1914, Lord Beaverbook and Winston Churchill argued that Britain could not go back to normal free-trade relations after the war, that Britain must live by it's wits, would have to put across the same cut-throat barter agreements such as negotiated by Hitler (and as nov signed with Argentina).
 Roosevelt and Morgenthau ar- gued that there was not much use in defeating Hitler if the allies were to adopt his methods after wards, and the British finally came

"a ton of equipment aboard the Taku Lodge craft Red Wing. Mel win Marcus, JIRP secretary and member of the geological glacio- logical team and Duncan Needles ter, Harvard graduate and high level ecologist, were to scale the Taku Glacier ridge to the main base camp to pick up used para chutes and return these chutes to Taku Lodge headquarters where they will be brought into Juneau for use again in the midsummer drops. Marcus and McCollester are to begin their climb up the ridge between the Twin Glaciers tomor- row to join a four-man team al- ready established at the 4100 foot Camp No. on the Southeast edge of the ice field.
 Four camps with a total com plement of 13 men have teen estab- lished to date on the glacier &C., cording to Miller
 MAIN BASE CAMP
 Main base camp where an inSu- lated wood-framed and aluminium sheathed hut for a permanent in stallation is to be built, is located on a rock island near the head of Taku Glacier at 4200 feet. There, a three-man team has set up a complete meteorological station and 25 watt radio transmitter and receiver for three-times daily con- tact with the CAA weather sta tion, radio station WXA and the Geological Survey in Juneau.
 Halfway down the Taku Glacier ridge a two-man team is operating an intermediate meteorological station sending weather data to the main base camp for relay into the Juneau weather bureau office
 A third camp has been estab- lished by members of a seismic investigation crew on Taku Glacier. Headed by Dr. Thomas c. Poulter, of the Stanford Research Institute and a pioneer in the seismic study of ice, this group is working up the Taku Glacier carrying on depth determining operations on the way.
 FOURTH CAMP
 The fourth camp has been estab- lished at the site of last summers expedition on the Southeast rim of the ice field. Here, a third meteorological station with a radio transmitter and receiver to send out weather data has been set up.
 The Army put third plane in the air this weekend for JIRP, with a DC-3 coming down from Anchorage carrying 1900 pounds of special radio equipment. Aboard the Navy's Kodiak RD4 assisting in air drops Sunday were It. Cmdr. A. w. Jones, It. V. O. Hatfield, V. Erickson, ADAN and w. P. Thomas, AD3.

NAVY AIRLIFT AIDS GLACIER
 STUDY EXPEDITION
Drops $ Tons Equipment 10 Juneau 'ke Cap" 20
 10 Be in Field

More than six tons of supplies and equipment were dropped from two planes to the ice and snow covered heights of the Juneau Ice Cap" this weekend as the Navy sent second plane from Kodiak to reinforce airlift operations for the American Geological Society's Juneau Ice Field Research Pro- ject (JIRP).
 Low clouds shrouding dangerous peaks which rise out of the 4.000- foot level ice fields east of Juneau have slowed down operations of a PBY sent from the Kodiak Naval Air Station two weeks ago to shuttle supplies into the glacier study expedition. With clearing weather yesterday, the Navy dis patched an RD4 DC-3) to help complete the task of getting the expeditions equipment into the field.
 SIX FLIGHTS MADE
 JIRP and Navy men made six flights from Juneau Airport to the ice field Saturday with operations beginning at 4:30 am. and wind ing up late in the evening.
 According to Maynard Malcolm Miller, field director for the glacier expedition, one more flight of the PBY will wind up air drop opera tions. He hopes weather conditions will permit the final flight today. For supplementary support later in the summer, Navy plane may re- turn for one or two more flights.
 Eighteen men will be on the Ice Cap" by Wednesday if all goes well, Miller said today.
 In addition, three new members of the expedition are to arrive to- morrow to join the project. Dr. Donald B. Lawrence from the De- partment of Botany, University of Minnesota, accompanied by his wife, who will assist him in his work, will be aboard the Baranof when it docks here tomorrow afternoon. Dr. Lawrence, Mrs. Lawrence and Lloyd Hultert, University of Mon- tana, graduate student in botany will study geology at the fringes of number of glaciers in this area as indicators of glacier ad- vance and recession.
 Richard Ward, University of Min nesota graduate student, will also arrive on the Baranof to join JIRP as high level plant ecologist.
 WILLIAMS GOING
 Dean Williams, Pan American Airways agent in Juneau, who is being released from PAA duties for three weeks to aid in investi- gation of the ice field as summer ski area, will join the final group to make the ascent to the high levels. Expedition Leader Miller, newcomer Ward and Williams are scheduled to leave tomorrow after noon for low level expedition head quarters at Taku Lodge, to take off from there for a 12-mile trek up the Taku Glacier Ridge to the main base camp situated at the center of the ice field.

MISSING
 TRIO IS
 RESCUED
Three Down in Plane Crash in Interior Found-
 Taken 10 Fairbanks
By GEORG MEYERS airbanks News Miner Staff Writer

FalrDankS News Miner Staff WrlLer
 FAIRBANKS, July 11.-tR-With bottleful of beetles and chinful of stubble, Dr. Melville T. Cook, 79- year-old Louisiana botany professor stepped jauntily from rescue plane last night with his wife and pilot Bill Burlington.
 The trio, opjec. O. a week-long search by more than 30 military and civilian planes, were snatched by helicopter only "A hours be- fore from the side of a 3,200-foot mountain 50 miles north of the Arc- tic Circle and 50 miles north ot Fort Yukon. Their single-englned Cessna crash-landed on the tundra slope when Burlington became lost ana the gas supply ran low.
 Despite their apparent calm, Dr. Cook. and Mrs. Cook, who is also near 80, and Pilot Burlington were emphatic in declaring they have had their fill of eggs and Alaska mosquitoes, the worlds hungriest.
 They had cargo of 90 dozen eggs aboard-consigned to a road house-when the plane put down. Only few dozen were cracked in the crash.
 We ate them raw, we ate them cooked" said Dr. Cook.
 Buzz Bombing Mosquitoes To foil the formations of buzz bombing mosquitoes, the three slept inside the plane at night and sealed up cracks with emergency bandage tape to keep the insects out. They sent up daily smoke signals in hopes of catching the attention Of rescuers.
 They were oizilted yesterday morning by a 10th Rescue Squad- ron B-17 piloted by Capt. c. k. Hale (hometown unavailable). They said it was the first plane they had seen since the crash despite the fact that aircraft had bracketed more than 100000 square miles Tn the exhaustive search.
 HelicOpter Rescued
 A helicopter settled yesterday af- ternoon on the mountain side, pick up the Cooks and Burlington and flew them to Fort Yukon They were then flown here in a Wien Alaska Airlines plane.
 Despite the peril of their situa- tion, Dr. Cook could not forget he was a scientist, and spent his days catching insects peculiar to the Arctic and gathering specimens of grass, flowers and fungus. The first thing he did on arrival here last night was to wave aloft a bottle of bettles.
 Look" he said, what I got for the museum at Louisiana Uni versity."
 Only Slightly Bruised
 The three suffered only bruises in the crash, which washed out the planes landing gear, popped off the doors and twisted the propeller.
 Mrs. Cook, whose face and neck are slightly marked by mosquito bits, said they were unworried un- til after the fourth day.
 Then she said, i've began to fear that nobody would look for us so far north"
 The Cooks said the misadventure will not alter their plans to com- plete their vacation tour of Alaska. They will go from here to Anchor age and to other sections of the Territory, and do not plan to re- turn to Baton Rouge until Septem- Der.
 pr. Cook, widely known as botanist and author, is a member of the Louisiana State University.

Textile Workers
Seek Federal Aid
Against Violence

Atlanta (LPA)-Failure of Local
police to prevent mob action
against members Of Textile Work
ers Union of America in Talla.
poosa, Ga, has resulted in de
mands that the u. S. Justice Dept
make an immediate investigation.
On August 4, union members
peacefully distributing leaflets al
the mill gates of American Thread
Co. were chased away by a moi
from the mill armed with shotguns
and pistols. A city policeman near
by refused to disarm the mob.
In a letter to U. S. Attorney
General Tom Clark, TWUA Vice
president John Chupka asserted
that the Justice Dept has the re-
sponsibility to protect the civi
rights Of union members under
such circumstances.
Chupka charged that the failure
Of the federal government to take
action in November 1947, when q
union organizer was kidnapped in
Tallapoosa, "has given encourage
ment to the lawless elements in
the community"
"It is significant" he wrote.
"that the man identified as the
leader of the abducting group,
Elzie Teal, was also one Of the
leaders Of the mob which attacked
our union members, and who open
ly threatened the group with a
pistol"
Describing the events of August
a, the union said: Shortly after
the distribution began a group of
workers came out of the front
door of the mill. They were led by
Durwood Teal, who was bandish-
ing a shotgun, and his father, Elzie
Teal, who held a pistol.
Reaching the gate, the young
er Teal laid his shot gun across an
ice cream wagon and aimed at the
union group, warning it, in foul
language, to leave with the leaf
lets, or get shot. The elder Teal
placed his pistol against the ribs
of handbill distributor as the re-
mainder of the mob pushed the
group along the mill fence.
City policeman Henry Walker
sat in his car Is feet from the gun
men and witnessed the entire Incl
dent, but refused the request of
two union members to disarm the
mob. After trying to reason with
the police officer and the mob, our
members left to avoid bloodshed. +"
Two days before, on August 2,
a group of TWUA members were
driven away from the plant gates
by mob of employees armed with
clubs and other weapons. The plant
is now on strike. -Cl
