Not Banking Flat Payment.
Senator Taft asked Mr.. Alt
meyer what he would think of
a suggestion to have the Gov
ernment make fiat payment of
$25 or $50 a month to every aged
person and let that be augmented
by the States where necessary.
The Ohio Senator explained to
reporters later that he is not ad-
vocating such a plan but was
only throwing out a suggestion
some one had passed on to him.
Mr.. Altmeyer wanted to know
if Mr.. Taft was going to have
universal coverage under the con-
tributory retirement. system.
The Senator said he thinks you
have it now because of his con-
tention that payroll taxes have, in
practice, become a general ex-
pense of business and are passed
on to consumers.
"We are taxing all of the people
to pay some people an old age
pension" he added.
Mr.. Altmeyer replied that the
reason only 100000 out of H.
100000 persons over IS are getting
old-age retirement is because uni
versal coverage was not provided
for when the law passed.

New Attempt 10 Float
BatIeship Missouri
To Be Made Tonight
BY the Associated Press

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. 18.-The
next attempt to float the 45,000-
ton Battleship Missouri, stuck on a
mudbank in Chesapeake Bay near
Old Point Comfort, will be made
tonight, the Navy announced.
1t was decided to make no effort
to float the huge battle-wagon on
high tide this afternoon but to use
a dredge to- remove some of the
mud blocking her way back to the
main ship channel. At high tide
about 9 o'clock tonight it is ex-
pected the 16 tugs which failed TO
budget the "Mighty-Mo" in their
first attempt last night will try
again.
The last of the Missouri fuel
Oil was being removed today. If
that doesn't help, her ammunition
will be taken off tomorrow, the
Navy said.
Aground at High Tide.
Naval officers pointed out that
tides will be progressively lower
until January 26, when the moon
changes. and that the battleship
went aground at high tide yes
terday.
The Army Engineers dredge
Comber. from Baltimore, was on
the scene and the Navy announced
that two heavy tugs from New
York were expected to arrive to-
morrow to assist in the operations.
AS many as 16- tugs have been
pushing and pulling at the huge
warship. but veteran waterfront
observers predicted that she would
remain stuck in the mud "for some
time" a mile and a half north
northeast of Old Point Comfort.
Two ATTEMPTS Futile.
They said that the Mighty
Mo-" on whose main deck the
Japanese surrendered to end
World War II, would be freed only
after a sub-channel has been
dredged from the main channel
to the spot where the Nations
only active battleship lies stranded.
The Navy made two attempts
to float the Missouri yesterday,
once shortly after she was
grounded and again at high tide
last night. But she wouldn't bulge
an inch.
On her way to Guantanamo,
Cuba, on her first cruise under a
new skipper, Capt. w. D. Brown,
the big warship was proceeding at
five knots when she went aground
shortly before 9 am. at a spot
said by naval spokesmen to be
half a mile north of the main ship
channel.
The channel is 40 feet deep.
The ships draft is about 81 feet,
No Explanation Offered.
Navy spokesmen, reporting that
sea and wind. were moderate and
visibility good, could offer no ex-
planation of how the ship got of
the main ship channel, but naval
board of investigation was ap-
pointed to investigate.
There was an unofficial report
that the Missouri may have been
following orders to pass over an
experimental recording device in

Speaking of the day he made a purchase in his native city of Flensburg, Mir. Dall said, T felt guilty buying the smoked eel, when poor people were watching through the shop window"

FROZEN FISH NOW CAN BE SHIPPED EAST |AS CAEAPLY VIA SEATTLE AS VIA CANADA

Through a rate reduction which has been in effect since June IT,, frozen fish may be shipped from Juneau via Seattle to eastern cities, at the same through rate as that in effect via Prince Rupert That announcement was made in Juneau last week by E. M. Stew enson, representative of the Northern Pacific Railway.
 MT. Stevenson said the rate re- duction was the result of five years of planning. The through rate includes wharfage handling, handling in Seattle, and the three percent Federal transportation tax.
 To Chicago and points west, carload lot shipments will cost Ketchikan fish shippers $2.44 per CWt., Juneau shippers $2.52 per Cwt., and Wrangell and Peters burg shippers, $2,47 per Cwt,
 The freight agent estimated that Juneau alone should ship 15,000,000 pounds of frozen fish through Seattle, with the reduced rate in effect.

CATCN ESTIMATED
 AT FIFTY PERCENT
 OVER LAST YEARS

Red salmon runs were definite ly better this year than they have been in several seasons, re- equalization of catch figures shows. In the Copper River area, which closed in late June, the run was estimated to be 50 per cent over last years, and the catch was reported the best in many years.
 The Copper River area will open in the fall for the cohoe run.
 By the end of the third week in June, the Fish and Wildlife Service figures showed that es- capement and catch of red salm- on both were increased over the previous years.
 The story was not so bright at Alitak and Chignik. Alitak was still closed on June 24, with the escapement there shown to be smaller than last years. Chignik was closed in mid-June, when catch figures exceeded the es- exponent by six times.
