plane. Swiss later was forced
down on the ice by engine trouble.
Another party piloted by

their lives Saturday The hunt
ers were John Osborne Of Nome
and Richard Wilson Of Inglewood,
California.
Richards had landed on the ice
when he had spotted polar bear

Demos Dispute Governors Authority
To Limit Special Session to Three Days

suit that still is in the courts.
Some Democrats insisted that
three days is not enough be-
cause they do not want to act
on Employment Security Commits
sion legislation without getting
help from a team of experts from
Washington, DC.
The governors proclamation
indicated he thinks such action
is not necessary; that if the gov
ernor can Immediately appoint
new five man commission to
break the existing deadlock be
tween the two labor and two
management members of the pre-
sent Employment Security Com
mission, the existing act would
fill the bill
There was another angle of
controversy over the three day
specification for the session. 1t
was a contention by Democrats
that the time was set to avoid the
necessity of the governor submit
ting appointments for confirma-
ton by the legislature.
Meanwhile, three legislators
went home Saturday for the
weekend They were Rep. Hubert
Gilbert, Fairbanks; Rep. Russ
Young, Anchorage; and Sen. Jack
Werner, Seward.
Both houses will have to be or
gained again, just as at the start
of the regular session, but the
routine is not expected to require

pack yesterday for two missing

One small plane flown by a
pilot tentatively identified as Leon
Shellabarger, Anchorage, devel-
oped engine trouble during hunt
and apparently crash-landed on
the ice.
Weak radio messages from the
plane asked for help. Shellabarger
had one passenger, not immedi-
ately identified. The. plane is be-
lieved to be on an ice floe about
20 miles northwest of Kotzebue.
A second distress call was also
picked up from another unidenti-

down on the ice Is miles north
west Of Kotzebue
John Cross of Wien Alaska Air

land on a ice floe north Of Kot-

plies nor shelter and must have
lost his boat somehow, Cross said
The ice pack has begun break

hazardous for many polar bear

Sen. Byrd Calls Halt On
Cutting of Taxes Before
The Budget Is Balanced

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Byrd
diva hoisted a stop signal to-
day to Democrats and Repubi-
cans bent on cutting taxes in
1855 election year
Byrd, who heads the tax-handl-
ing Senate Finance Committee,
said in an interview he will fight
any tax cut-whether it is sug-
gested by Democrats or Republi-
cans - until the budget is bal
anced.
Moreover, the Virginia senator
said he won't 60 along with the
idea expressed recently by Presi-
dent Eisenhower that it might be
possible to cut levies next year
if budget balancing is in sight
but not actually achieved.
II don't 60 for that idea at all, :"
Byrd said. "The way to get a tax
cut is to reduce expenses so that
the budget actually is balanced.
Until it is balanced, 1 am not
willing to reduce taxes and bor-
row the money to do it."

Found Slain and Their
Farm Animals Sold

ROCK ISLAND, Tenn, Up - "A
family of four was found slain on
their farm yesterday and officers
promptly accused Billy Gibbs, %,
whom they already had in jail for
selling the family's mules and
pigs.
The victims were Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Bratcher, "A and AZ, their
daughter Lily May, 10, and their
motherless granddaughter, 20
months.
AS Sheriff Eldridge Youngblood
explains it, this was the story:
Bratcher was shot to death, his
wife and daughter beaten to death
and the baby either drowned or
allowed to die of exposure last
Wednesday.
Thursday, Gibbs sold two
mules, a SOW and some pigs from
Bratcher's farm to livestock deal

forbears had camped Today the Indians live in

Ancient Clay Tablet
Uneanhed in Israel
BY The Associaisd Press

JERUSALEM, Mar. 3.-Israel
reports that a shepherd has
unearthed a piece of clay tablet
inscribed with part Of the Gil
gameSh Epic near the Biblical
fortress of Megiddo. The epic is
one of the most important liter
airy heritages of the Babylonians.
Gilgamesh fragments have
been found in Iraq, the country
of ancient Babylon, but this is
believed to be the first discovered
in Israel.
The government Department
of Antiquities said the fragment
was found in debris accumulated
during Megiddo excavations by
the Oriental Institute of Chicago
from 1926 to 1888. The ancient
Roman fort, considered by some
authorities to have been the site
Of Armageddon, is 18 miles
southeast of Haifa.
The fragment apparently
formed the lower lefthand sec
tion of tablet. Each side meas
ures about AZ inches. The back
and front are each inscribed with
two columns of cuneiform char
acters. Experts said the tablet
probably dates from 1,500 B. c.
The epic is a series of myths
or stories which form a narrative
with Gilgamesh. generally iden-
titled as an early Babylonian
King, as the central figure.
