Bill Would Exempt
 Alaskans from Income Taxes

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Smath- CTS D-Fla) announced in the Sen ate Friday he is introducing an amendment to the excise tax bill to exempt residents of Hawaii and Alaska from paying federal in come taxes.
 Smathers, an opponent of state hood for both territories, said "the problems of Alaska are economic, not political"
 He declared exemption from income taxes would do more to develop Alaska than almost any thing else, since it would be an economic incentive.
 The people went to Alaska in the gold rush days not because they expected it to become a state but because they hoped for econ omical gains," he said.
 Smathers noted that residents of Puerto Rico, a US. possession, do not pay federal income taxes.
 This would give residents of Hawaii and Alaska the same sta JUS as residents of Puerto Rico, he told the Senate.

One American spokesman in Munich said, however, the planes had lin advertanIy" crossed into Czech territory. Clouds covered much of thc. frontier area over which they we flyina.
 The Czech broadcast said one of that country's jets intercepted the American aircraft and demanded that they follow it to a landing inside Czechoslavakia.
