Taft Confident Gen. Macarthur Will Back Him
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

Senator Taft of Ohio told col leagues he is confident Gen. Mac Arthur will give him solid SUD- port for the Republican presi- dential nomination when the chips are down at the Chicago conven- ton.
 Evidence of Taft's confidence in MacArthur was seen Sunday when he said on a television pro- gram he favored the general ad- dressing the convention. If he does, Taft, added, he probably would be the keynote speaker.
 Taft supporters regard as sig nificant that Macarthur did not deny News-Week magazines ar- ticle last week that he was a Taft packer. On the other hand, in commenting on the same article Macarthur made it clear he is not supporting Eisenhower because he did not know how he stood on many grave issues.
 The nations new price boss, former Gov. Ellis Arnall of Geor- gia, said in a radio interview he didn't believe any Republican not even Eisenhower-could carry single Southern state in the election.
 President Truman's friends were reported looking around for way to beat off what some of them now regard as a threat of victory by Sen. Kefauver of Ten nessee in the March II New Hampshire primary.
 One close friend is reported to be deeply concerned" over the outcome, and hopes something can be done to buck things up for MT. Truman there.

A. POlet Reports More
 Tourist Flights To Nome Scheduled This Summer

A. Polet returned from a trip to Fairbanks where he attended meeting of the AVA and an- nounced that Ed Coffee of An chorage was elected president of the organization.
 Henry Cuffel of Anchorage was named first vice-president and James Whaley, second vice-presi- dent. Other members of the board are Robert Ellis, Fred Dunn, Rus sell Swank, Charles West, A. Polet, Vic Brown, and Paul Grie- mann.
 Most interesting to Nome, said MT. Polet, was the announcement by the Alaska Travel Service that there would be four flights every week from Anchorage with tour ists who would be staying over night. There would also be over night stops from Fairbanks daily.
 The main problem in Nome is to provide housing for the in- creased number of persons who will remain overnight, as well as an organized program for the entertainment of the tourists such as was executed last summer un- der the sponsorship of the Cham Der of Commerce.

New Tax Ceiling
 Viewed as Sock the Poor, r,HelptheRich
By JACK RUTLEDGE.

WASHINGTON, (P) - Present tax loopholes and proposed peace-time tax ceiling were under congressional fire today for what some lawmakers viewed as tendency to sock the poor and help the rich.
 Sen. Humphrey O-Minn) said existing tax loopholes cost the government more than 412 bill lion dollars year, and benefit almost entirely those with in- comes above $1O,0OO annually.
 Staffs of two congressional committees said proposed 25 per cent peacetime federal in- come tax ceiling, already en- dorsed by some states and under study by Congress, would "tend to shift the individual tax burden from the rich to the poor"
 Humphrey said enormous handouts" go to "high income recipients" and outlined what he said were the six principal loop holes-and the amounts they cost the treasury-in the present tax laws. Two of the major ''loop- holes" were income splitting and percentage depletion allowances, he said. Income splitting was en- acted in 1948 to benefit married couples, but Humphrey said only 3 per cent of the benefits went to couples with annual incomes below $5,000.

Statehood Backers Long On Hope, Short On Vote

WASHINGTON, (P) - Advo- cates of Alaska statehood faced an uphill fight today in their effort to bring the northern terri tory into the union.
 With only two days remaining before the Senate votes on a Southern bid to return. the bill to committee, supporters of the statehood legislation were admit tedly Hong on hope, short on vote"
 The vote is scheduled Wednes- day on the motion by Senator Smathers D-Fla) to send the bill back for additional committee hearings.
 Senator Douglas D-IlD verbally invaded the opposition camp yes terday with a plea that South ern senators "place the national interest above prevailing regional concerns"
 In an interview carried over network of IS Illinois radio sta tions, Douglas charged that op- position to Alaska and Hawaii statehood is prompted by fear that their admission would upset the Senate balance by which the Southerners have been able to block passage of Civil Rights leg islation.
 Senator Stennis O-Miss) de- clared in a speech last week that the "real prize" sought by state hood advocates was not freedom for the territorial residents so much as 1.-two seats on the floor of this senate"

Scientists Record Three Minutes Of Total Eclipse

KHARTOUM, Sudan, (P) - While devout Moslems prayed and pregnant Hindu women hid in their homes in fear, the moon blacked out the sun for three minutes today. Scientists were jubilant over near-perfect wea- ther for recording the total eclipse here.
 For the three precious minutes, 70 scientists from 10 countries worked feverishly at the great mass of complicated astronomical, photographic and electronic equip ment they had assembled in this capital of the Sudan. If an as- tronomer is lucky, he may see an hour of total eclipse in his entire lifetime.
 The scientists hope to find more information about what is around and behind the sun, fur ther checks on Einstein's theory of relativity, and to make corrections in the worlds maps. This will come after calculations and re- search based on Mondays obser- vations.
 For three minutes starting at 11:09 am. this part of the world saw the day turn into bright moonlight night. The total eclipse could be observed along a 5000 mile route 76 miles wide and curving from somewhere in the Atlantic between Brazil and Af- rica, across Africa and the Arab ian and Persian Cliffs to the Irk- utsk region of Soviet Siberia.

By BEN PHLEGAR

.Cost-of-Living
 Bonuses Will Be nti ued

WASHINGTON, R-Govern- ment employees living in the terri tories and US. possessions appar- ently will continue to receive cost-of-living bonuses in addition to salary.
 Delegate Bartlett told a report CT Saturday he has been advised by opponents of the bonus pay ment that they do not plan to renew their fight this year.
 Government employees working and living in the territories and possessions now receive payments up to 25 per cent of their salary to offset additional living costs.
 Several efforts were made last year to amend the appropriations bills to prohibit such payments.
 Objections centered primarily in payments to workers in Puerto Rico. Opponents declared that many clerks and other office help recruited in the islands, were re- ceiving government salary higher than that received by bankers and other Puerto Rico professional men.
 They argued that cost-of-living payments were justified only for government employees recruited in the States and sent to the terri tories and possessions.
 Territorial representatives crit icized this stand on several grounds, principally that it would discriminate against territorial residents by paying them less than a nonresident for the same
