House Members
 Poke Fun at Selves AfterlmathShOOting

WASHINGTON, LR - House members were able to poke some fun at themselves a week after they were targets of a wild fusil- Jade from the pistols of a four Puerto Rican fanatics.
 Congressional jokesters made attempts to play down their basic view of the shooting as a tragic affair, but humor is a favorite means of Tightening the legislative grind, and with all five injured congressman apparently recover ing, House humor began to re- assert itself.
 Some gags revOlved around the plentiful news accounts of mem bers standing near or giving aid to one or another of the wounded.
 Said one: with that mob around them, how did a bullet ever get thrOugh?'
 Other jests stemmed from the many reports of people w h Q shared in capturing the attackers. Reps Wolcott (R-Mich) and Clar- ence J. Brown R-Ohio) offered a make-believe award to any mem Der who could prove he did not take part in the capture.
 Rep. Vinson of Georgia, senior Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, wasn't at the scene himself, but he suggested legis- lation to set up three types of pay for those who were under fire:
 l. Combat pay-for those who stood up under fire.
 2. Flight pay -f for those who fled the chamber.
 3. Submarine pay - for those who dived under their seats.

President Hopes To Reduce Cuts
 In Sales Tax Bill

WASHINGTON, LP - Republi- can congressional leaders said at the White House today that Presi- dent Eisenhower feels that a House bill to cut excise taxes nearly a billion dollars "goes a little too far"
 House Speaker Martin R-Mass) 7lking to neWSmen after the lead rs' regular Monday morning con- erence with the President, said the administration hopes to get the proposed reduction figure pared down some when the measure reaches the Senate.
 Martin added, however, that neither the administration nor COP House leaders will make any effort to reduce the proposed cut in the House.
 The measure, in addition to cut ting many excise taxes, would continue beyond April 1.-the pre- sent excise or sales levies on a number of items, including liquor, tobacco, gasoline and automobiles.
 On other items the existing ex- else rate above 10 per cent would be cut back to that level.
 At his news conference last week, Eisenhower indicated he might have to accept some reduc- ton in excises even though he has spoken out against them at this time. The President said it sometimes is necessary to swallow some castor oil along with the sugar coating.

New Alaska Mental Health Bill Seems
 Sure of Enactment

WASHINGTON-A Washington source expressed confidence Fri day that Congress will enact this session the new Alaskan mental health bill introduced jointly in the House and Senate by Rep John P. Saylor R-Pa), chairman of the House subcommittee on ter ritories and insular affairs, and Sen. Hugh Butler R-Neb), chair man of the Senate Interior Com mittee.
 Gov. Heintzleman has made no secret of his keen interest in the enactment of a sound mental health law. Although the Interior Department has expressed no off cial opinion on the bill, observers point out it is unlikely that Re- publican Congressional leaders would work for weeks perfecting a new Alaskan mental health bill not in accord with administration views.
 Experts worked on the new measure some time before it was introduced. The bill would pro- vide greater administrative con- trol in Alaska for a humane men tai health program. Because much funds would be required coming from the federal government, the new bill requires the approval of the secretary of the interior.
 In some respects, sponsors point out however, under the new pro- posed law administration of the bill would be largely in the hands of Alaskans through the govern or's office in Juneau
 The new bill incorporates all the provisions of the model men, tai health law approved by the Mental Health Association. These provisions were also in the old bill which the Butler-Saylor bill sup plants.

Partisan Tussles Shape Up In Congress On Taxes and Statehood For Hawaii
By HARRISON HUMPHREYS

WASHINGTON, R Party leaders frightened their lines to- day for Republican Democratic tussles in Congress on two issues: taxes and statehood for Hawaii
 Senate Democrats have been summoned to their first caucus of the year tomorrow to discuss a campaign to tie an Alaskan state hood amendment to the Hawaii bill which the Senate has been debating since last Thursday The Republican leadership opposes the move.
 The House on Wednesday is scheduled to take up the first big tax bill of the year, measure to cut many excise or sales taxes, and there may be some prelim- mary skirmishing preparatory to a bigger battle week later over reducing personal income taxes.
 In the Senate, Democratic lead CTS are seeking unanimous sup port for proposal by Sen. An derson D-ND to add Alaska to the Hawaiian statehood bill.
 Republicans are striving to keep the bills separate, arguing that the addition of Alaska might sink the statehood ambitions of Hawaii as well as Alaska.
 Republican leader Knowland of California has promised that a separate bill for Alaska will be considered by the Senate later this year. Some Democrats ob- jected that there is no guarantee such a bill would be considered by the House, which passed the Hawaii bill last year, or that it would be signed by President Eisenhower.
 Knowland said he personally favors statehood for Alaska, but believes Hawaii and Alaska state hood measures should be consid- cred separately. A combined bill, he said might jeopardize the chances of both.

Red COInnlandOs Hit Field Where U.S.A.F. Men Work

HAIPHONG, Indochina, tR - French military authorities en- forced a state of emergency in this vital seaport Monday follow ing a Vietminh commando raid on a nearby landing field where Am erican air technicians service U.S.-supplied transport planes for the French war against the Com munist-led rebels.
 Reports circulated that the Vietminh had declared they plan ned to attack every area where American personnel work. The Vietminh radio recently accused the United States of intervening in the Indochinese war.
 None of the A US. Air Force personnel stationed at the field, Catbi, three miles from Haiphong, was on the airfield when the com mandos attacked before dawn Sunday.
 The French announced the seizure of "A men suspected of aiding the Vietminh in the Catbi raid. The military said five of the raiders were killed, several" taken DriCOner and +brao hi0h ay plosive charges had been seized.
 The French said several planes" were destroyed but that these were light aircraft parked along the rim of the airport. A spokesman said airport troop pa trols drove off the raiders before they could reach American-made flying boxcars and bombers lined up in the center of the field.

40 Year Romance Ends In Marriage For CermanCouple

ANCHORAGE, R-A romance that began in Germany and did not cool in 40 years of hardship and separation was eliminated Saturday in the marraige of Miss Charlotte Staudte, 54, and Eric Tobehn, 56.
 Tobehn lost trace of Miss Stau- dte shortly after he went to war in Germany in 1914. All efforts to find each other failed until he took out his American citizenship papers, when Miss Staudte ob- tained his address in Alaska from a German consulate.
 Their correspondence was re- newed and eventually Tobehn made arrangements for Miss Staudte to come here. She ar rived a few days ago and the wedding ceremony was quickly arranged.
 The wedding, read in the Ger man language, was performed in the Anchorage Lutheran Church. The bride wore a white satin we'd ding gown, the veil of which be- longed to her mother, and used her mothers wedding band in the double-ring ceremony.
 The bridal gown, carefully packed, was smuggled out of the Russian occupation zone of Ger many shortly before Miss Staudte escaped over the border to the Western Zone.

Calena Team Races 70 Miles In 4:52::3333
 In FairbanksDerby

FAIRBANKS, R nm A slender Indian from the Yukon River community of Galena, who ran, not rode, most of the 10 mile race here, was crowned the champion dog muSher of the North Ameri- can continent Sunday night.

 Tn third place was Andy Kok- rines of Fairbanks, with a time of 5:01:07, although he had two dogs quit on him durnig the final lap and crossed the finish line with the two exhausted do g s riding on his sled and only four pulling.
 Paul won approximately S2,500 for his victory, while Snyder pocketed about S1, 300.
 Paul placed sixth in the first lap of the derby and then adopted new tactics for the last 50 miles of the race
 He never rode the sled except when it was going down hill and the dogs had an easy pull. In the gruelling 30-mile race Sunday he ran with the dogs, pushing on the sled handles to make their bur den easier.
 The Indian, in superb physical condition, ran most of the 30 miles with his dogs and the team averaged just a shade less than Is miles an hour for the long race

The Lord gave to me a mind to
think, and a brain to analize, A
Christian heart to write the truth
and not to write any lies.
There are too things | have
thought about and l am writing
now true facts, the emergency gate
of America, and church doors of
white and black.
The Emergency gate of America
and the church doors of my race, 1t
makes me think there is something
a-slip, Something in there out of
It's place.
Too much brains leading the
church, we need a christian heart
to guide brains and relingion are
ruling the church we need a Chris
tian heart to abide by.
You are putting your hay too
high for the goat, and for Gods
sheep | say as well, unborn women
and men in Gods house are the
ones that stir up the hell.
Do not lift me up before men,
and no other preacher as well,
Jesus said if | be lifted up l will
draw all men | COMPEL.
You will educate your children
with all the degrees as well, Then
fail to train them the way they
should go, then, they will die and
go to hell.
The word of God says keep up all
of Gods laws not only laws it says
commandments as well. When you
allow your children to go astray
some body is going to He'll.
Degrees has drove shame away
no room in some hearts for Christ,
you have never been born or Gods
Spirit, now, what will become of
your life?
You might as we'll get right to-
day, tomorrow may never come.
You have get to except the love Of

him.
In an effort to continue the con-
fidence game which he has been
carrying on over the state for the
past several years he is attacking
the character and reputation of
responsible citizens, both black and
white in Jackson who would ex-
pose him.
High was first exposed several
years ago by Mr.. Black, at that
time secretary of the Jackson
Chamber of Commerce. He respond
ed by writing a vicious attack
against Mr.. Black which he put on
the counters of the Banks and in
other prominent places on Capitol
Street.
He was arrested while in the
act of putting this dirty sheet
about, Mr.. Black in one of the
banks, which at the time of his
arrest he swore he did not write.
Police who investigated the matter
found the monograph machine, and
the stencil containing the dirty
matter in the house where he was
then living on Ash Street
The story he is now telling is
one about what he has been told
in great confidence by the two
candidates for the u. S. Senate
in the fall election in the state.
Responsible citizens who have
heard the story say that he should
be put back in prison or in the
insane asylum.
