$40 Income Tax
Cut Proposal
Is Defeated

WASHINGTON, "a Senate
House conference committee to-
day voted to kill a Democratic
proposal for a $50 person in

Democrats said they reluctant

ate bill merely extending pres
ent corporation income and ex-
else tax rates for one more year
Sen Milliken (R-Colo) said the
conference committee recOmmen-
dalton would 60 to the Senate
floor this afternoon
1t is expected to reach the
House floor next Tuesday. The
committee decision IS subject to
approval by both Senate and
House.
Democrats had pushed through
the House a plan to give each
taxpayer and each dependent a
$40 tax cut starting next Jan. L.
They tied this into an Essen
hover administration bill contin-
uing corporation and excise taxes.
The Senate voted 61-32 to take
the tax cut out Of the bill. The
Democrats said in the face of that
opposition, they were forced to
yield on the issue to avoid a
major loss in revenue from cor
poration and excise taxes.
Corporate and excise taxes are
scheduled to drop on April l by
three billion dollars annually I'M
less the extension bill is enacted
by that date.

voted down a last-minute Demo

Wednesday evening the Nome
Council, the Nome School Board
and other interested citizens met
with Lynn Forrest, architect for
the Nome School, for final re-
port and to see the final plans Of
the school
Forrest was accompanied by
Grayson Allen and Howard
Schroeder, who are associated
with him, and gave a complete
and detailed account of the prof.
ect. Many questions were asked
and the proposed refrigerated
foundation was particularly Of in
terest, as it will be the first build
ing in the community with this
new type Of foundation.
Forrest assured those who
doubted the feasibility of this
that It was the best available
type and was being used in other
places successfully and on much
larger buildings.
Before accepting the plans, the
council called another meeting
last night, and following more
explanation and discussion the
plans were accepted.
Today the Alaska Public Works
in Juneau is being notified and

Senate Territories Committee Seeks
To Determine liz Eisenhower Will Veto
Preservation Alaska Statehood Bill

w A9f111NG 1ON, WI -- lie S6n-
ate Territories subcommittee will
meet next week, chairman Jack
son D-Wash) said today, to de-
eide whether to reopen its hear
ings into Alaska Hawaii state
hood legislation.
The Senate told a newsman the
question before the subcommittee
in effect will be: Would Presi-
dent Eisenhower veto an Alaska
Hawaii bill permitting him to set
up defense reservations in an en-
larged area of Alaska as pro-
posed this week by the Depart
ment Of the Interior and mildly
endorsed by the Defense Depart
ment?
Jackson said his reaction. to the
departmental letters was that
neither department said fatty it
would endorse statehood for AL
aska if the proposed amendment
were adopted
Interior, asserting that previous
proposals do not adequately"
meet defense needs, expressed be-
lief the problem could be eased'
by its proposal. The Defense De-
partment said the Interior pro-
posal comes nearer than any
other pending amendment to
meeting defense needs"
The Interior proposal roughly
would permit the President to set
aside as a special defense area
all or part of the land north and
west Of the Porcupine, Yukon and
KuskOkwim rivers - some 1873
million acres.
This compares with a provision
incorporated in the bill by the
House Insular Affairs Committee
several weeks ago. The commit
tee specification would limit the
President in setting up such areas
to not more than 40 per cent of
the 148 million acres north of
the Yukon and a line running
west from the $50 degree longi-
tude across Seward Peninsula.
Jackson, commenting on the In
terror amendment, said he felt the
subcommittee would be ''reluc-
tant" to make any changes unless
the members felt it would en-
nance the chances of passage and
approval by the President.
so far" he declared, "there is
no indication that this proposal
will eliminate the Presidents OBJ
jections."

Justice Dept. to Determine

motion to reconsider from Nc

promptly said he had no present
plan to make such a motion, but
Mccarthy was not reached i'm
mediately.
Mccarthy had indicated he
might pursue his questions as to-
whether Brig. Gen. Ralph w.

tee said they were convinced that

Democrats Abolish
Alaska Legislative
Investigatiye Body

JUNEAU, tR-The Senate voted
to abolish the legislative investi-
gative committee yesterday as it
acted on an extended list of bills.
The vote was II to to wipe
out the committee created by. the
1853 Republican controlled legis-
lature
The Senate also defeated a
House bill which would give cities
the right to increase sales taxes
to three per gent if the city voters
are in favor Of it.
In other action, the Senate re-
versed itself on a House bill to
establish a ban against any sales
or leasing of tidelands or shore
lands for fishtraps if the terri
tory should come into possession
of such lands. The Senate had re
.jected the measure before noon
but reversed itself on a IA to 2
vote after Speaker Wendell Kay
appeared before the Senate and
explained that it is a measure
aimed toward the future just in
case Congress should give the
territory title to the coastal areas.
The Senate also approved a fl
nancing plan which may allow the
University of Alaska to enter
agreements with Alaska Public
Works administrators. The bill
makes a commitment of $780,
600 for the 1888 biennium, so
the University can make definite
agreements for getting even
matching honey frof APW.
It was explained that the legis-
lative action could not be bind
ing on the next legislature, if it
should change its mind, but a
commitment BY this legislature
would be sufficient to get ear
marking Of APW monies.
The Investigating Committee
issue provoked long debate in the
Senate, with opponents Of the
committees continuance contend
ing that its investigating powers
were an abuse of legislative au-
thority and an encroachment on
the executive branch of the gov
eminent
Senators who had served on
the committee argued at length
that the committee had carried
on its work carefully without try
ing to be a sensation producing
committee or a little Mccarthy
group"
Some Democrats contended that
the mere fact Of a person being
called before the committee cast
a cloud over his reputation, while
the fact that the Legislative Coun-
Gil has now been granted sub
poena and investigating powers
takes care of any investigating
that is needed in behalf Of legis-
1ation.

Green Lawns
Are Result of
Obeyinq Rules

Lawns grow best on loan soils
with about so per cent sand,
not more than 20 per cent clay,
and the balance organic matter.
This soil holds moisture we'll
and that is one of the cardinal
points of lawn care. But rarely
do any Of US have this kind of
soil. 50. the first problem we
have Is to improve our soil,
which can be done either of two
ways.
Top Loom Method
The most costly method is to
have lawn covered with 4 to 6
inches of top loan soil The
other is to fertilize heavily, and
seed as near the ideal time as
possible with the aim Of devel-
oping thick stands of grass.
The moment grass grows your
soil is being improved. The more
vigorous the growth, the faster
the change. Hence. buy seed
from a reliable scotsman and
follow directions. The same APP
plies to fertilizer; know your
dealer and follow instructions.
Liberal use of chemical fertilizer
is one of the. best ways to in
crease the organic matter con-
tent of your soil. so essential to
maintaining a green lawn all
during sum mer heat and
drought.
For new lawns use up to so
pounds per 1000 square feet
OF a AHA analysis fertilizer.
Some prefer using 20 to 40
pounds of a 6-10-4. or 5-10-5.
or 1864.
Series Of Fertilizines
Your spring application Of
fertilizer is the first in a series
which includes d second fer
tilizing in late spring followed
by a third In &ate summer.
A fine lawn depends on a good
mixture Of lawn grasses. In
lawn seed you get just what you
pay for. Look for the name of
q reliable scotsman on the
package you buy. And insist on
a mixture of several different
grass seeds. Mixtures contain
grasses that sprout fast and
grasses that take a while to
establish themselves. Each has
a part in your lawn. The same |
is true Of grasses that are
thirsty and grasses that tolerate |
drought. Some wear better than |
others. Each kind of lawn grass
grows and looks best during GER
tain times Of the growing season.
Consult The Star Garden Book |
for recommended grasses and |
culture.
