Search For Missing Scientist and Pilot

FAIRBANKS, (P)-Missing for more than a week in the barren tundra country between here and the Arctic coast, a navy scientist and a veteran bush pilot were be- ing sought today.
 The scientists name was with held by the navy pending notifi- cation of kin. He is from the Arc tic Research Laboratory of the Naval research in Washington, D.. C.
 The pilot, 39-year-old Bert Gal breath, was with the Berlin Air lift and formerly flew out of Nome. He now owns a ranch in Arkansas and planned to spend his summers flying for Alaska AirlineS.
 Nothing has been heard from the duo since they took off last Tuesday in light snowy weather at Tigvarik Island headed for Bar row. Although their Norseman plane had gas only for four hours, it carried firearms and provisions sufficient to permit the men to survive many weeks, Alaska Air lines officials said.
 Ten Alaska Airlines planes and airmen from Ladd Field Air Force Base joined in the search yester- day. They concentrated efforts in the vicinity of Umiat, about 250 miles north of here, where the navy has part of its Point Barrow oil operations. Searchers explain ed that Galbreath might have se- lected Umiat as an alternative to proceeding to Barrow.

COP Counters Truman With Speech-fOr-Speech

President Truman's Chicago ap- peal for the custer of "obstruc- tioniSts" and his advice to the Re- publicans that they "come out for something" stirred the 150 cam paigning to new warmth yeSter- day.
 Republicans sent Senator Taft of Ohio into the battle, to reply at l0:30 pm. (EST) last night with what the COP thinks MT. Tru- mans spring tour of the west in general; and his climatic speech at Chicago Monday night in particu- lar.
 Between the speech for speech exchange, Republicans were vot- ing yesterday in an important and apparently close primary in Penn sylvania. The outcome may have a strong bearing on the l52 politi- cal situation, when a President is to be elected.
 Taft will have the same radio outlets (ABC, NEG, MES, CBS) that MT. Truman had when he told cheering Democrats in Chica- go, and the nation at large, that Democrats twill carry on the fight" for:
 CD International cooperation; @ Taft-Hartley law repeal; (3 Improved social security laws; (4 Federal aid to education; (5) Mid dle income housing help from the government; (6) Health insurance; CD Natural resources develop ment; (8) Improved farm price supports; (9) Aid to small buSi- ness. and QO Civil rights laws.
 That was MT. Truman's formal summary. Departing from his text, he gibed at the Republicans:
 "I wish the opposition would come out for something and be real opposition. A great political party cannot survive by being against everything"

Arguments for The Property Tax

Continued from Page One) the tax law be afforded all tax payers.
 3-That classification of tax payers in various categories is not in violation of the axiom of equal protection under the law.
 DimOnd alleged that the law did not indicate hostile discrimin- ation against certain taxpayers on the part of the law.
 Paul Dryden, tax assessor of the Second Division, who attended the sessions, and returned this morning stated that the case drew a large crowd to court and that the young Assistant Attorney Gen eral Dimond presented his case well for the Territory in direct and forceful manner. He conceded that the law was not perfect, but that few laws are, and lack of per lection in a taxation law did not make it less valid and legal.

Air Force Breaks Yukon Ice Jam

FAIRBANKS, (P) - The U. s. Air Force whipped the mighty Yukon River with six 800 pound bombss breaking an ice jam that had threatened to send flood wa ters coursing again through the little Arctic village of Fort Yukon.
 Villagers reported by radio yes terday the river was receding rapidly after fliers from Ladd Air Force Base here bombed the ice pack Saturday.
 The flow was said to be nearly normal with few ice floes in the channel.
 Compared to other years, said the report by bush pilot radio, "this is very tame"
 During the ice breakup, water washed through the main streets and into the Northern Commer- cial Co.,, store and post office. Last year the village had to be rebuilt

Rail Strike Ends Satisfactorily To All Parties

Continued from Page One) tiple unit diesel locomotives. They said the union withdrew its de- mand on the issue, which has been in dispute between the brother hood and carriers for more than 10 years.
 Union president David B. Rob- ertson, in a statement, termed as satisfactory" the settlement "of all issues involved"
 The union said it did not with draw "entirely" its request for as- signment of a third man on big diesel locomotives. A spokesman said the Brotherhood modified" it's demands.
 The strike, originally set for April 26, started may 10 against parts of the Pennsylvania, New York Central, the Southern Rail- way and Santa Fe systems. It was extended to the Southwestern dis trict of the Union Pacific Railroad last Saturday.
 Although only some 18,000 loco motive firemen struck. the walk out disrupted much of the nations rail transportation and had made idle some 100000 workers-most- ly railroad employees.
 The break in the strike was an- nounced shortly after 3 am. yes terday, and immediately the union sent telegrams to striking locals cancelling the strike order.
 The union and carriers had met continuously for nine hours dur ing the night and early morning hours. Sitting in at the peace talks were members of the National (railway) Mediation Board.
 The main snag in the negotia- tions was the dispute over the hiring of a second fireman on the big diesel locomotives.

Construction Electricians At Anchorage Strike

ANCHORAGE, (P) - Negotia- tions were to resume today toward settling the strike called by about 50 construction project workers of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (AFL).
 The issues are the same as those threatening Fairbanks with a power tieup, a union shop being the main demands.
 However, the city's contract with the union has not expired, so the local power system is not af- fected, as it is at Fairbanks.
 Lou Taylor, business agent of Local 1547, Anchorage, said the union did not plan any picket lines unless contractors start hir- ing non-union electricians.
 ''If we establish a picket line I don't believe any union man would cross it." he said. eve don't want to halt building, we want contract. No contract, no work"
 Major construction projects here and at Fort Richardson are affected. John Natures, business manager of the Puget Sound chapter, National Electrical Con- tractors Association, arrived yes terday to take part in negotiation talks.

Pilot Of AirIiner Which Killed Nine, Will Be Tried

SEATTLE, (P)-A jury of two women and 10 men was selected yesterday to hear Civil Aeronau- tics Administration oh arge S against the pilot in an airliner crash which killed nine persons.
 The defendant is James r. Far ris.
 The CAA in a complaint filed by assistant United States attorney Vaughn Evans charged FarriS with making an instrument ap- proach to Seattle-Tacoma airport at time when the ceiling was be- low the minimum prescribed for that type of craft.
 It also charged him with mak- ing faulty landing.
 Farris denies violating the CAA regulations, saying he was making an emergency landing. He con- tends that one of the engines was faulty and that the crafts brakes were imperative.
 The plane, operated by Alaska Airlines, ran off the runway, down an embankment and crash ed on the highway on Nov. 30, 1947.
 The case, being heard in federal judge John E. Bowen's court is a civil action and involves a maxi mum penalty of $1,000 on each of two counts.

Phones Yonked Out
To Halt Free Calls
BY Harvard Shorps
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, May 25.-
Spinning a penny to put in a free
telephone call at Harvard Yard
pay stations came to an end yes
terday.
The New England Telephone &
Telegraph Co. yanked out yard
phones.
The company said that last Sep
tember freshmen discovered they
could make calls by ficking a
penny into the nickel slot and
spinning it down the shaft with
a key or pencil.
They had been using the sys-
tenn literally. the telephone COM
pany reported. One student ad-
mitted he made a free call to
Boulder City. New, even after the
company installed what it con-
sidered a foolproof system.
Skillful students still could spin
the penny. The not-so-Skillful
simply whacked the phone with a
baseball bat and generally got the
jackpot through the return slot.
The telephone company decided
it was time to pull out the phones
when it found a tally sheet near
one phone.
There was a check mark on the
sheet for every successfully spun
penny.

Plan to Cost $500 Million.
Cost of proposed new construc-
ton on the Stats 9,0O0-mile pri-
mary highway system was esti-
mated at nearly $500 million
based on 1945 prices. An average
expenditure of at least $25 million
per year for construction on the
primary system will be required
if the needs of this interstate, in
tercity road system are to be met.
Since the 20-Year Plan went
into effect, approximately 800
miles of new construction has
been undertaken on the primary
highway system. The most seri-
Gus traffic bottlenecks and unim-
proved gaps on the primary sys-
tenn have received first priority.
Work has ranged from half-mil-
lion-dollar per mile projects to
less costly surfacing of long un-
improved gaps on less travelled
roads.
Under the 20-Year Plan, for in

to be made four-lane from U. S.

To Mean Better Roads
For Northern Virginia
From the Virginia Department of
Highways

A comprehensive 20-year plan
now in it's fifth year-is setting
the pattern for Virginia's postwar
road improvement program.
In line with the plan, costly
construction projects have been
put under way on four major
highways in the Washington area
The continuing development of
these and other highways in
Northern Virginia is outlined in
the 2O-year plan.
South of the Potomac, the
Henry C. Shirley Memorial high
way is nearly completed and was
opened for traffic in September of
last year. In the trafflc-con-
gested Alexandria arlington area
other projects totaling more than
$1,700,000 are nearing completion
ON Fairfax drive CRoute 23D
Glebe road (Route 1900 and King
street (Route y.
An additional half million dol
lars has been spent since the war
on smaller construction projects
in the area; connecting links, i'm
proved curves, wider bridges and
sidewalks in congested rural
areas.
Virginia's 20-year plan was
drafted by the State Highway De-
partment during World War II.
1t projected the States highway
needs to a point 20 years after the
wars end and detailed an orderly
approach to meeting those needs.
1t became operative at the end
of the war.
The most serious road defien-
cies are receiving top construc-
ton priority.
AS various road improvements
are completed with the funds
available during each fiscal year
the system will gradually ap-
proach the ultimate standards set
forth in the plan. No bond issue
is contemplated, since Virginia
roads traditionally have been
built on a pay as you go" basis
