Canada And U. s. Plan Radar Screen

WASHINGTON, R)-Canadian prime minister Louis St. Laurent said Saturday that the Canadian and United States governments are planning a vast radar inter ceptor network across northern Canada.
 Such an aircraft detection sys- tenn would screen the Arctic area across which some military strat- egists contend Russia would strike at this continent in event of a war.
 A bill providing for a widely spaced radar screen around the United States already has been in troduced in Congress. Hearings are under way before a House armed services subcommittee on the plan estimated to cost $751; 0O0,OOO.
 The prospective radar stations would be spotted around the con- tinental U. s. under the House bill to guard strategic air approaches.

 The Senate decided last week that the proposed tax was of such far-reaching import that all in tereSted parties in the Territory should have a chance to testify at an open hearing.
 Senate President Gunnard En- gebreth, Anchorage Republican, is among those who expect the measure to pass if it remains in it's present form. But, he added:
 If other exemptions are tackled on some Senators might refuse to support it. The temper of the Sen ators is strongly against granting exemptions to any class-miners, fishing or any other"

 It was drafted by the attorney general and reportedly modelled after some state control statutes It evolved from an original con- ference of department heads and governor Gruening over control legislation, but the governor told a reporter this week he was not pressing for this particular bill although he considered some con- trol legislation advisable.
 The measure provided for a five-man board with full control powers, and a S12,000 per year ad- ministrator. Critics contended this would set up a ''liquor czar."
 The House later passed the 40- hour week bill for the second straight day, but by six-vote smaller margin. Passage came or reconsideration, l6-8, after at tempts to stall it until next week failed.

 A stiff tobacco tax bill, provid- ing a three cent levy on standard cigarette packages, was introduc- ed in the House late Friday. Rep Taylor, its author, revised his es- innate downward from earlier in the week and predicted it would net approximately S1,OOO,OOO 8 year.
 The tax schedule would be two cents for a 10-cigarette pack and eight cents for 50-cigarette pack On cigars it would be one cent fol a dime or less, two cents through IS cents, and three cents for a two-bit cigar. Tobacco and snuff would be assessed at two cents an ounce.
 The bill specifics the intent for the tax commissioner to collect al the wholesale level.

NEW YORK, July 21.-Hugo
+. Rogers has resigned as leader
of Tammany Hall-as Mayor Will
liam O'Dwyer demanded-and
turned over the reins to Carmine
G. De Sapio, the first man OF
Italian descent to hold the office.
Tammany's Executive Commit

day, designated Mr.. Rogers for
the Democratic nomination for
another term as Manhattan Bor-
ough president.
The Mayor had demanded that
Mr.. Rogers withdraw As q can

well as quit the Tammany lead
ership.
Whether the Mayor eventually
would get his second wish re-
manned a big question today.
Some said Mr.. Rogers Is in the
race to stay. Others said the
Tammany designation was a
goodwill and face-saving gesture.
and that Mr.. Rogers would step
out later.
Tammany Indorses O'Dwyer.
Mayor ODwyer. who seeks re-
election in November, has said he
will not stand for Mr.. Rogers on

Dispute Over Win

he is going TO do-if anything 80
about the Roosevelt Coolidge

yesterday at Roosevelt and ended
with both teams claiming the vic

The dispute arose over the rul-
ing of Miss May P. Bradshaw.
principal OF Roosevelt. that elimi-
mated the discus throw from the
competition.
Miss Bradshaw's ruling resulted
from q serious injury inflicted on
Alfred Smith, a Roosevelt track

head by q discus tossed by George
Weicker OF St. Johns In . Ueet
April S. Smith was operated on
last Friday at Emergency Hos

cause the Riders refused TO throw
the discus. Phil Fox OF Roosevelt

With the schools out on vaca-
ton, Pearce won't be able TO piece
together all the facts until next
week. As all dual meets are only
warmups to the championship
interhigh meet. Pearce feels the
dispute Ia minor and may allow
the schools TO settle 1t themselves.
Smith. one OF eight children. is
on his way to recovery. A sum Of
$3.50 was raised at yesterdays
meet by passing the hat. Smiths
hospital expenses win be well over
$500, a factor which has prompted
Miss Bradshaw to urge the inE1r-
ance OF all high school athletes.
