Alaska Steam Passenger Service to Alaska "NOt Essential to Defense"

SEATTLE, R-AlaSka Steam shiphip Co. officials took issue yesterday with Defense Depart ment criticism of the lines soon- to-be-discontinued ship passenger service to Alaska, but said moth ing can be gained by controversy"
 The department, in rejecting pleas for it's support in efforts to maintain the commercial passen- ger service, told the office of Sen. Magnuson D-Wash the service was mot essential to the national defense"
 Asst. Defense Secy- T. P. Pike described Alaska Steam's four passenger vessels as very old, without modern facilities or inter- for fireproofing-
 Pike said military personnel go- ing to and from Alaska could be handled more cheaply by air or by ships of the Military Sea Trans portation Service than through contact with Alaska Steam.
 The company statement ex- pressed "amazement" at Pike's criticism, and said it was not sub- stantiated by reports of military officers derectly concerned"
 The line is discontinuing it's half-century-long passenger ser vice to Alaska after the return of the steamship Denali to Seattle Oct. 6. It said that declining reve- nue forced the decision.

CARMEN BASTILIO SCORES DECISIVE VICTORY OVER CARMINE FORE FRIDAY

NEW YORK, R-Carmen Bas- lilo was very much in the running for a second welterweight title shot Saturday after his neat dis posal of Carmine Fibre.
 The top : ranking 147 pounder from Canastota, NY. dropped the 25-year old Brooklyn better twice in the first round enroute to d decisive 10-round victory in Mad ison Square Garden Friday night.
 The craggy-faced, hairy chested Basilio decked the aggressive Brooklynite for counts of four and three with left hooks to the but ton. Fibre was given the manda- tory eight count twice and just managed to evade a third knock down which would have cost him the fight under New York rules.

KremIin' 5 Release
OF East Reich Seen
AsPropaganda Move

The Soviet decision to grant
Sovereignty" to East Germany
was seen here today as an effort
to build up the Communist satel-
lite government in Germany and
SOW further diplomatic trouble
for the Western powers.
The State Department scoffed
at the Soviet claim that East
Germany was getting any GENT
inc freedom. Russian troops re-
main in East Germany. So do
Soviet political officers. Real
Soviet control of the area con-
tinueS.
The Soviet, however. now Is
expected to bill East Germany
as an independent nation en-
titled to separate representation
at international councils. Moscow
is expected to start a campaign
for international recognition of
the East Germany government.
And the East Germans probably
will step up their efforts to nego-
tate directly with West. Ger
many.
Heightened Propaganda Seen.
All of this is sure to stir con-
fusion in the East West propa-
ganda battle. That is the least
the United States can expect.
Perhaps the worst is a cam
paign of incidents provoked by
East Germany and for which
Russia disclaims any responsible
ity. This was the pattern that
North Korea followed after it
received independence" from
Russia
American officials regard the
Soviet build-up of satellite pres
tige as important. 1t presumably
tends to improve morale behind
the Iron Curtain, and gives Rus
STA a chance to tell its captive
peoples: IF you have troubles,
it's because the United States
won't recognize your govern
ment."
Move Was Expected.
State Department officials said
that since the Berlin Foreign
Ministers conference failed to
plan German unification. they
had expected the Soviet to start

that Mr.. Humphrey had repeated
his opposition to the cuts in
conversations with them yester-
day.
Republicans Chided.
Senator Williams chided his
Republican colleagues for sup
porting the cuts. He said they
are going down the same road of
deficit financing for which they
criticized the Democrats for 20
years.
Il have been disappointed by
the Republican leadership on
this floor today" said Senator
Williams.
Senator Byrd said If there has
been any luke-warmnesS on the
part of the administration to-
ward the cuts it is only because
the Treasury would lose as much
from a veto as it will If the bill
is signed.
Senators Byrd and Symington.
Democrat, of Missouri, told their
colleagues the Senate Armed

Senator Symington added.

Excise Tax Cut Bill
Goes 10 Conference
After Senate Vote
By J. A. O'Leory

An excise tax revision bill that
would put the Government more
than 81 billion deeper in the red
next year is on its way to q
Joint House-Senate conference
committee today for final adj
juStments.
It passed the Senate at $3.50
last night by a vote Of rs to 8.
in an atmosphere of political
pickering between Democratic
and Republican leaders over the
administrations attitude toward
the measure.
The bill extends for another
year present tax rates on liquors,
tobacco, automobiles and gaso-
line, due to expire April /. These
extensions will raise SLOT. 000.-
900. But it also reduces other
excise taxes on a wide variety Of
goods and services to the tune
of $1.034. 600. 900,
The administration recon-
mended the first group of ex-
tensions. The off-setting group
of reductions originated in the
House or Senate. The extensions
will bring into the Treasury
about $43 million more than it
l0SeS On the clltS
81 Billion Deficit.
But the Eisenhower budget
makers had already counted on
the SLOT. 0O0, 900 of extensions
when they estimated a deficit of
$40 billion in June OF next year.
This means the additional cuts
would run the deficit to about
81 billion in 1855.
Senators Byrd. Democrat, of
Virginia, and wilkins, Republic
can. of Delaware, were beaten,
81 to "a. when they tried to
strike out all reductions except
the $217 million cut in taxes on
admissions.
Senator Byrd won a minor
skirmish when he succeeded in
restoring to 20 per cent the caba-
ret tax, which the bill would
have cut to 10 per cent. This
saved $23 million.
Points Of Difference.
The main points of difference
between the House and Senate
to be settled in the conference
committee are:
!. A Senate amendment re-
ducing from 10 to S per cent the
tax on household appliances. in
Guiding refrigerators, ranges,
clothes dryers and coasters. This
involves about $85 million.
2. A Senate amendment elimi-
mating admission taxes on neigh
borhood theaters which charge
so cents or less, estimated to in
Volve about SOS million.
3. Senate amendments reStor-
ing the 20 per cent tax on club
dues, safe deposit boxes and ad-
mission to horse and dog race
tracks, which the House cut to
10 per cent.
4. A Senate amendment keep
Ing the tax at IL per cent on
firearms and cartridges, which
the House cut to 10 per cent.
In the closing hours of debate
yesterday the Senate rejectred
the following moves:
l. To reduce the tax on auto
mobiles from 10 to per cent,
which would have cost the
Treasury $275 million. 1t lost
SO to 25.
2. To reduce the tax on radios,
televlsion sets and monographs
from 10 to 5 per cent. which
would have reduced Government
income by $50 million. 1t lost

JabberWock Set
For Sat. Night

For weeks, Jacksonians have
breathlessly anticipated the 1854
production of THE JABBER-
WOCK. The big moment is now
mere hours away, for THE JAB-
BERWICK will be staged on Sat-
urday evening, April 3, 7:3O p. M,
in the auditorium of the new Lanier
High School.
THE JABBERWOCK, a concoc-
ton of dance, drama, and song, is
one of the established activities of
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. The
idea was conceived and adapted
from one of the fantastic creatures
in Lewis Carroll's, ALICE IN
WONDERLAND. This fabricated
creature, the Jabberwock, as you
will recall, was made up of several
animals, each contributing to make
a fantastic whole. So, the JAB-
BERWICK as conceived by Deltas
is delightful evening of snatches
Of this and that-a pot-pourri of
good fun and entertainment. While
THE JABBERWOCK provides
much needed fun and relaxation, it
serves another and more serious

knows the record of the NAACP.
If ours were a subversive organi-

driven us out Of South Carolina

Gated to the highest ideals of our
nation as set forth in our historic
documents from the Declaration of
independence to the Resolution a.
gainst discrimination adopted at
the Caracas conference last week
We are here to stay as long as
racial injustice endures."
AS "smear artist" White
charged, Gov. Byrnes antedates
Senator Joseph Mccarthy by many
years. Indeed, he was using this
tactic when the Wisconsin senator
was still in swadling clothes. He
pretends now to be a friend" of
the Negro, but we remember when
he defended lynching on the floor
of the Senate and the House of
Representatives as he now defends
segregation. We remember his
fight to deny funds to Howard Uni
versity for the education of Negro
youth. We remember his attacks
upon the real friends of the Negro
and his attempts to smear them
because of their efforts against
lynching and race bigotry."

In accepting the craftsmanship,
General Bradley pointed out that
he has been in position to see
the value of services given by
United Defense Fund agencies. He
added that 1--WE must provide the
means whereby our people in the
Armed Forces here and overseas

standards and our way of life
they are our citizen leaders of the
future"
The United Defense Fund, since
its inception three years ago, has
raised nearly 35 million dollars.
The goal to be set in April will
be for 1866 requirements. The
Fund will then seek inclusion in
local Community Chest and United
Fund campaigns which have given
it the major part of its support
during the past three years.
Agencies included in the United
Defense Fund are: United Service
Organizations (USO); United
Community Defense Services
(UCDS); American Social Hygiene
Association (ASHA); National
Recreation Association (NRA);
and United Seamen's Service
(USS).

by Delta sorors for this years pro-
duction.
A peek over the shoulders of
Sorors Lois L. Williams and Emily

have used vivid imagination in the
creation of skits.
Skits will be presented by under

of Phi Beta Sigma, Omega Psi Phi,
Alpha Phi Alpha fraternities, AL
pha Kappa Alpha, Sigma Gamma
Rho, Zeta Phi Beta sororities, En-
Evant Social and Civic Club, and
the NAACP Youth Council.
A special non-competitive attrac-
ton will be the presentation of
Tennessee Williams "Moony's Kid

ers.
Interludes will be enlived by the
performance of Beau CARROTS
Congo, 1.-THE Four Aces and the

In two separate test cases, Judge
Orval J. Willard of Grants Pass

The two decisions, coming with
