Patrolling of the area around Big lake was to be resumed at noon today in an effort to locate the bodies of two men believed drowned there Sunday.
 According to a report received from the public information of- flee, US. army, Alaska, Pvt. Rob- ert Sholin, p, of Homer, is the serviceman believed to be one of the victims. His companion Eu- gene Kranick, was identified earlier from a truck left at the lake and registered in his name. Fathers of both men arrived here from Homer at noon today to as- sist in the search. They said that neither of the young men could swim.
 Discovery that the men were missing was not made until Mon day afternoon when two youths found the upended boat in the lake. Checking with Oscar Ander- son, who had rented the boat, it was learned that the accident must have occurred Sunday.
 Boat Not Overturned
 The boat was found floating with the bow up and the motor hanging on the bottom. There were definite indications that the men went into the water while the motor was running. Bill Bouwens reported that the throt- tie of the motor was three-fourths open and the gas was turned on to the carburetor. Fishing equip ment and boat gear were found intact in the boat.
 Patrol operations have been in progress since Tuesday from 2 a. m. until 10 pm. Holgar Larsen of the Fish and Wildlife bureau.

HreAssociation Dues Payable

Fire Association dues are payable July r, Association president Al Hagen reminded members today.
 Only half year memberships, covering the period July 1 to December 31, 1851 are being issued at this time. This will amount to $5 per member for homes or farms.
 It is the thought of the Fire Association, Hagen said, that the City of Palmer will be ready to assume the responsi- bilities of the association by the first of the year. Members outside the city limits are ad- vised to continue their memb- erships for the six month per iod. After that it is believed that the City Council will work out some plan whereby the city fire protection service can be extended to rural GUS toners.
 MT. Hagen urged everyone to send in dues as quickly IS possible to help pay for the 5000 balance due on the new fire truck.
 A 400 gallon tank and a high pressure Bean pump are being mounted on the new truck, and it will be ready for operation soon.

Continue Patrol of Big Lake Area To Locute Victims of Drowninu

Deputy Marshall Bill Bouwens, Stan Laird of the highway patrol, and Pat Carter of Wasilla, have been searching the area with oth- CT volunteers. Wednesday the Tenth Rescue squadron sent a plane over in an effort to try to locate the bodies.
 Bouwens explained that drag ging operations are almost inn possible because of the size of the lake and the depth. At the spot where the boat was found the water is at least 60 feet deep, he said. Although the boat was not moved until Tuesday, it was be- lieved that it could not have drifted far because of the motor which dragged like an anchor.

Huntley Appointment As District Marshal Reaches Final Phase

Walter Huntley remained calm and unimpressed by news this week that he had received the endorsement of the Democratic party (national, central and divi- sional committees of the Terri tory) for appointment as U. S.. marshal of the Third division and that the matter had been referred to the department of justice for customary investigation.
 After waiting for 10 months" !, Huntley said, T won't count on the appointment until I have the papers confirming it''. ...:.
 It was the opinion of many here that the endorsement was tanta- mount to election. Nomination by President Truman and confirma- ton by the Senate is the usual procedure following a satisfac- tory report by the department of justice.

C0UNCILMEN EXPLAIN HOW SALES TAX WILL HELP CITY, SCHOOL

pOSal. council members released the following statement covering their recommendations:
 "Palmer's sales tax has a better than good chance of being adopt de. Responsible voters appreciate inc wisdom of financing our new lY incorporated town by means of a tax on retail sales and services.
 "Anchorage's failure to pass a similar proposal early this month raised a question in the minds of some Palmerites. This doubt will vanish when they realize that the Anchorage school board intends to call another sales tax election before winter. The sales tax meas ure was defeated in Anchorage because of school board opposi- tion. According to MT. John Gorsuch, president of Anchor ages school board, another cleo tion probably will be scheduled soon after school opens. With the cooperation of the city council of Anchorage, the proposal likely will be adopted, covering retail sales and services in entire An chorage school district. It there fore behooves Palmer not to be left behind in this matter of a sales tax. This cheap and efficient method of raising greatly needed revenue should not be feared on the grounds that retail business will be diverted from Palmer to Anchorage.
 Assume for the moment that Palmer has sales tax and An chorage does not. How many peo- pie will spend $8 or $l0 driving 10 Anchorage 10 save $2 on $l00 worth of groceries? By October or November. when a sales tax will no doubt become effective in Anchorage. even this small diff ferential will disappear.
 Will Palmer's merchants have to raise prices to pay the sales tax? NO. After our proposed sales tax has been adopted, a 50-cent item will still cost only 50 cents. A $5 item still will retail for $5. The only difference is that you, as the buyer, will contribute 10 cents to the city of Palmer when ever you buy $5 worth of goods here in town. The merchant func- tions only as tax collector. This is one reason why a sales tax is inexpensive to collect.
 Purchases of less than 35 cents will not be taxed. Purchases and services costing from 36 10 65 cents will be taxed l cent. From 66 cents 10 $l.35. the tax is cents and so forth. Housewives need not fear a general rise in prices be- cause of the sales tax. Remember. this is 10 be a tax on RETAIL. SALES. Our merchants will not pay tax on their wholesale pur- chases. Unlike properly faxes on businesses. this tax cannot be concealed in retail prices. The consumer knows exactly how much he is paying to the city of Palmer.
 Remember, too, that bulk pur- chases by Coop members from the Coop are WHOLESALE pur- chases. A farmer who buys more

There probably have been faster lAtchers in the Coat League than San Diego's swift san Jones, but not many in recent years.
 The six-foot, four-inch Negro rookie from Wilkesbarre, Pa, shut out Hollywood, 40, last night with four hits and famed nine batters to run his strikeout total to 7j in 6 innings pitched. It was his fifth Min against two defeats.
 League-leading Portland's margin was trimmed to three games as To Angeles handed the Beavers @ 3-2 Setback. The Angels stayed in sec ond, a half-game ahead of rising Sacramento. The Sac5 neasurec San Francisco, 7-5, and Seattle edged Oakland, 5-4.
 Bob Spicer twiried 9 four-hi ter and drove in the winning run wi.h t..l eighth-inning single Tor To Angeles. He got great help from Le layton who smashed a homer cfoer making a bruising catch to rob Por-- land of two runs.

kenfueky Derby Has
 2f Horses

LOUISVILLE, Ky, May 5 --tR-- The Kentucky Derby field was re- duced to 21 horses today when The Gink and Bernwood were scratched from the list. Both had been doubt ful starters.
 The skies in Louisville cleared up this morning and thousands of early arrivals poured through the gates at Churchill Downs, hours before time for the $100,000 added turf classic was scheduled to be run There were indications that 19 or 20, comparatively large field, would parade to the post this after noon.
 There is no outstanding favorite. So your guess is as good as the next as to which of the three-year- olds will be made the public choice Post time is 4:30 pm. EST. and it probably will be just then when everyone knows the favorite.
 Right now, opinion is wavering between Battle Morn, the bay flyer from the Cain Hoy stable of Harry F. Guggenheim. and the entry of Mameluke and Counterpoint, owned by Cornelius Vanderbilt (Sonny) Whitney.

AGRICULTURE DEPT. BUDGET CUT NOW IS DEC0MMENDhTI0k

WASHINGTON, May 5 - R = A l2 per cent cut in the agricul- ture departments budget for the fiscal year starting July was recommended today by the House Appropriations Committee
 The committee approved $720,- 157, ,433 budget, 99,848,113 less than President Truman asked and $52,- TAP ,267 less than the department received this year The House may revise the figures further when it votes on the bill next week.
 Almost one third of the cut was in effect bookkeeping transaction which reflects no actual saving of ruklic funds. For one thing, the President had asked for $32, 100000 to permit the department to re- imburse the Commodity Credit Corporation for expenses in erad- icating foot and mouth and other animal diseases. Instead of pro- viding the money, the committee told the department to cancel the debt.

HOUSE L0pS MILLIONS OFF
 EMERG. FUND

WASHINGTON. May 5, - R - Economy forces in the House today pointed to wallcping s6 per cent cut in President Truman's emer- gency funds as evidence that they're pushing ahead in their drive to reduce government spending.
 The Presidents funds came under the axe yesterday when the House passed and sent to the Senate a s6,l4445O,S55 appropriations bill tinancinp 27 independent federal agencies for the year starting next July l.
 Cut S2i Million
 The total was S693 137,110 less than Mir Truman has asked And s2A,t02000 of that was slashed from shc Presidents own emergency money request The fund is given the President to meet emergency needs arisiag from domestic or for ei8n developments not provided for n specific appropriations.
 Mr Truman had requested $25,- Gcc,C01 fer the fund. The House pprop.iations Committee chopped it in hGh and the House itself, by roll-call vote of 160 to 128, whacked it down to S1,090000. But 1t let the President retain an es- timated s4.090,0O0 left over from the current years fund.
 Public Housing Blow
 Another hlow was dealt the ad- ministrat!on when a 181 to l13 vote reduced to 5000 the number of new public housing units that may be started in fiscal year 1852. While the law authorizes 135,000 units to be started in any year, actual work depends upon the amount of money appropriated and limitations in the appropriation bill. The President al ready had whittled the program down to 75,C0o units and the ap- propIiaticns committee cut it to 50,C0O A coalition of Republicans and Southern Democrats knocked ir down to 5,oca

 It is $30,000 less than last year and S30,0G0 below the Agriculture Departments request for the 12 months beginning July l.
 Since approximately $50,000 is available to Alaska under the ap- propriation for the office of ex- pertinent stations the Committee said, this reduction appears advis- able in the interest of economy"
