Hemingways Safe
After Plane Crash
On Upper Nile

KAMPALA, Uganda, R)-Nov-
elist Ernest Hemingway and his
wife were safe today after escap-
ing death in two plane crashes in
the wild upper Nile country of
East Africa
The 55-year-old writer and his
fourth wife, the former Mary
Welsh, escaped unhurt Saturday
when their chartered sightseeing
plane cracked up in the bush on
the banks Of the Victoria Nile
River, three miles below the 400
foot steep Murchison Falls of
northwest Uganda.
A launch taking tourists to the
falls rescued them yesterday and
brought them to Butiaba, on the
shores Of Lake Albert, for their
second brush with death.
There they boarded a rescue
plane which crashed and burned
in taking off. But again the pass
engers, including Hemingway and
his wife, and the crew got out of
the plane unhurt.
A police rescue party then took
them overland to Masindi, IS
miles east Of Lake Albert, and
from there they headed by road
for Entebbe, $50 miles to the
southeast on Lake Victoria.
The Hemingways had left Nair-
obi, capital of Britain's Kenya
Colonoy, in a small Cessna plane
Saturday for the 600-mile flight
over the lakes and the falls. When
they failed to arrive at Masindi
for refueling, a search was begun.
When the plane was sighted, it
was reported there was no sign of
life but that the small aircraft
appeared little damaged.
The crash occurred about 300
yards from the river, in the mid
die Of scrub trees and thick bush.

Inaugural Flight OF Pan ANS DEC
Hailed AS Start OF Speedier, More
Comfortable Service To Seattle

Dewey Goodrich, president of
the N.W.A Chamber of Commerce
and Emily Boucher Of the Nugget
returned this morning from two
day visit to Seattle as guests Of
Pan American Anyways on the
special flight Of the new DEG
which went into regular service
yesterday on the Alaska run.
Guests Of PAA on the trial run
made Thursday, included news
paper men and representatives Of
Chambers Of Commerce from
parts of Alaska served by this
pioneering airline.
A record flight was made be
tween Fairbanks and Seattle of 5
hours, Is minutes, breaking the
former record Of 6 hours, 10 min
utes made by a DC-4 with a Ct
mile tail wind. Much of the
flight was made at about 10000
feet.
Pan Americans Willard Marsh,
planned the special flight and
brought together the editors and
staff members of Alaskan and
stateside papers, many of whom
met for the first time They talked
together informally during the
flight and interviewed each other
in an effort to establish a better
understanding Of the problems
and needs of the dissimilar parts
of the territory.
Representatives of the Cham
bers of Commerce held an infor-
NAL get-together also and set the
date of March 1923 for a meeting
of the Alaska Chamber of Com
merce at Mt. Mckinley. This date
was to be taken back to the
various Chambers for definite
acceptance.
The Alaskans were greeted in
Seattle with more snow on the
streets than was to be found in
many of the towns from which
they came. 1t was necessary to

Demos Threaten
Drive For More
Tax Relief

WASHINGTON, R-Some House
Democrats talked today Of a drive
to get more tax relief for families
and less for stockholders and bus
inesses in any tax revision pro-
gram enacted this year.
They threatened a floor fight
aimed at drastically revising a
two billion tax reduction and re
vision plan strongly championed
by President Eisenhower and 9TH
er Republicans.
Several Democrats on the tax
writing House Ways and Means
Committee said they hope to elm
mate sections providing sharp re-
auctions in taxes on stock and
bond dividends, and much more
rapid tax reductions to business
for the cost of new plants and
equipment.
These proposals, already APP
proved by the committee, would
reduce revenue an estimated 615
million dollars the first year and
provide much bigger savings to
the taxpayers involved in the sec
ond and third years-perhaps
three times as much.
Republicans have hailed them
as the most important points in
a project for rewriting almost all
the nations tax laws. Sponsors
say they will encourage invest
ment, business growth, more and
better jobs and higher standard
of living for everybody.
But some Democrats argue it
would be far preferable to in
crease personal income tax ex-
emptions, thus reducing taxes
more for large families and low
income groups, and snoring up
the economy through their in
creased purchasing power.

President Presents
8-Point Program Revise
Federal Housing Laws

WASHINGTON, R- President
Eisenhower Monday gave Con-
gress an eight-point program for
revising federal housing laws with
the declared aim Of providing
good housing in good neighbor-
hoods" for every American.
Eisenhower urged authorization
of four more years of public
housing, with 100000 new units
to be started. The rate, $4,000 a
year, is the one now authorized.
But this program, the President
said in a special message to Con-
gress, should be coupled with "a
new and experimental plan to
encourage private enterprise to
meet the needs Of low income
families. The government should
underWrite longer-term mortgages
with lower down payments for
families left homeless by slum
clearance, he said.
The proposed stem-to- stern
overhaul Of the housing program
should be based, Eisenhower said,
on ''full and effective utilization
of our competitive economy"
