Eisenhower To Address Nation On Taxes Tonight g

WASHINGTON, LR- President Eisenhower was reported by con gressional leaders today to feel that personal income taxes being urged by Democrats would endan- ger Americas economic stability
 The President, who will address the nation on taxes tonight over major radio and TV networks, discussed his tax views with COP legislative leaders for about an hour at the White House.
 House Speaker Martin R-Mass) talking with reporters afterWard, said tax cuts already made by the administration this year and those contemplated during the rest of the year total about seven billion dollars.
 He added that Eisenhower be- lieves that to dump another 212 billion dollar cut on top of that would be Straining it too far fin ancially."
 The House will take up on Wednesday a tax revision bill calling for about O,OOO,OOO in tax reductions without touching the personal income levy rate. House Democrats plan to propose that income levies be cut by rais- ing individual exemptions $100 a year from $500 to $7OO for each dependent.
 Martin said grave concern is felt' that to go beyond the esti- mated seven billion dollars in tax reductions already made and con- templated would ''endanger the dynamic, progressive program of the administration and delay bal ancing of the budget several years"

Rebels Make Do-or-Die Effort to Drive French Out of NE. Indochina

HANOI, Indochina, RAA furi- ously savage battle ragged into its third day today around the big French Union fortress of Dien Bien Phu. The Vietminh rebels hurled thousands of their best troops into a do-or-die effort to drive the French out of northwest Indochina before the Geneva conference.
 A three-hour cease-fire inter rupted the fighting Sunday morn ing while both rebels and French carried their dead and wounded from the battlefield. The French claimed at least 1000 rebels killed in the initial assault Saturday night and early Sunday, and ad- mitted their own losses were ''ap- preciable."
 The French High Command said the Union forces had the "situa- ton well in hand" and were hold ing solidly against the "very vio- lent" rebel attack.
 A French spokesman predicted the fighting would last several days.

Measure to Provide Commonwealth Status Instead of Statehood For
 Territories to be Introduced Soon

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Mon roney D-Okl0 said Saturday he and other senators will propose a substitute bill to provide common wealth status for the Hawaii-Alas- kan statehood bill early next week.
 Puerto Rico is the only United States possession now having commonwealth standing.
 The development was seen as move to delay action on the statehood bill. There was doubt that the commonwealth plan would carry, with the Senate ex- pected to vote for or against statehood.
 As cOmmOnwealths, Monroney said, Alaska and Hawaii would be relieved of federal income taxes, and any taxes imposed by their legislatures would be spent within the territories. They would also elect their governors and judges The legislatures already are elected
 Sen Holland D-F1a), who ia vors statehood for both Alaska and Hawaii, said today he be- lieves there are sufficient votes in the Senate for the bill to pass, but that he fears a jam of other legislations might have a telling effect.

 Of Corruption in Govt Operations

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Me Carthy said Friday his Senate h. vestigations subcommittee will be- gin soon a study of "claims of bribery, corruption and fraud" in government operations in Alaska under the Truman administration.
 Mccarthy disclosed plans for the inquiry during a television ap- pearance previously recorded on film, with Commentator Fulton Lewis Jr.
 He said that among other things the subcommittee will inquire into operations of the United States Tin Co. He added that United States Tin obtained several mil lion dollars" from the government to mine tin after assurances that it could produce water, essential for the mining operation, at the rate of 240 gallons a minute.
 The senator then displayed a letter he said a company official wrote the government, telling them "the only water in sight yet is my tears"

Nanooks Place Second In Western Alaska Tourney

ner-up in the Western Alaska B championship tournament held in Fairbanks last week. They were knocked out of the finals by a very tough Kodiak Navy team last Saturday evening 51-43.
 The boys returned yesterday with the runner-up trophy and miniature trophies will be sent later to Gordon Swanberg, Robbie Herman and George Kost, who were named to the All-Star team. Kodiak Navy placed three men, Cordova two and one each from Valdez and Wasilla on the all- star squad.
 After losing a thrilling 45 ' A game to Valdez in the opening round, the Nanooks bounced back with wins over Cordova 51-50, Wasilla 55-33 and Valdez again 55-42.
 This brought them up against the Kodiak team which had been trouncing all the opposing teams in the B class. With their star player Jack Wren averaging near ly 30 points a game, Nome tangled with them in the first game of the evening doubleheader.
 The Nanooks jumped off to a quick 40 lead in the opening quarter and kept in front thru out the period with baskets by Herman, Bell and Kost and at the whistle led 12-11.
 Running into tough defense through the second quarter, Ko- diak held Nome to two baskets and a free throw while pouring in 13 points for a comfortable 24-17 lead.
 The Kodiak team, most of the time, had two or three men on Swanberg which slowed down the Nanook attack and through the third quarter Buzzy picked up three baskets and Mogg two free throws and that was Nome's SCOT ing for the period Kodiak came in for 13 additional points, now leading 37-25.
 In the final period, the Nanooks managed to get their attack going in high gear and poured in IS points while Kodiak hit for IA, but the lead was too much to overcome, and Nome fell out of the tournament 51-43.
 Jack Wren, Kodiak's high SCOT ing guard was held in check with points, but Johnny Durall ended up with high point scoring honors with IS. Others scoring for the B champions were: Dick Roberts 13, Archie Lewis g, and Wally Rob- ertS 6.
 For the Nanooks, Swanberg 16, Herman II, Bell 8, KOst and Mogg 4 points each. Nome High scored 248 points through the five games while the opposition was hitting 221.
 In the five games, the point total was spread out in this way:
 Buggy Swanberg 86, Robbie Herman Fl, George Kost 55, Sam Mogg Is, Dave Bell 15, Jackie Muller 4, Chuckie Fagerstrom 2, and Robert Summers H.

Now, Mr.. Stevenson, who is sup

certainly is smart enough to know
that General Ike did not use the

The Republican., 1954-10-21

Perhaps, the Republicans just
did not think it worth while. Per
haps, General Ike, who does not
let little things irritate him, has
not even seen it and wants his ad-
visers to concentrate on the real
issues" of the campaign instead of
being diverted by trivial matters.
However, one can hardly help con-
trasting it with the uncomfortable
deirium into which the well-mean-
ing Secretary Charles f. Wilson
threw that great name caller, Mr..
Reuther, when he expressed his
preference for bird dogs who went
out to find food themselves over
the kcnnel-fed dogs who just sat
on their launches and yclped for
somebody to feed them. 1t must
have come as a schock to Mr.. Will
son to find himself accused of hav
ing insulted every workingman in
the country and driven the angry
Mr.. Reuther to send a five-page
telegram of protest to the Presi-
dent. Being innocent of the charge,
it may comfort Mr.. Wilson to re-
call that so far as Mr.. Reuther
could influence the workingman
they were all alienated in 1852.
And that then Mr.. Rcuther had
the hearty cooperation of Mr.
George Mcany. of the AFL-and
great deal of money too.

"red herring" did not make them
remotely resemble the way they
were used in the last Administra-
tion. Nevertheless, there were
plenty of people listening to and
reading Mr. Stevenson who must
have thought exactly that.
O.
Deliberate distortion Of what a
public man says comes pretty close
to being a cardinal political sin,
Imagine, for example, what would
have happened if Vice President
Nixon or some member of the
Presidents Cabinet had distorted
perfectly clear and frank state
ment of this kind by Mr.. Steven
son. The affrontcd yells would have
rung from coast to coast. There
would have come from the Demo-
cratic committee panied cries of
dirty ball" and loud demands for
rctraction or apology. And the
noble Adlai would have used this
distortion for some of his best
wisccracking. But SO far no one
has paid more than passing attcn-
tion to this distortion.
