Territorial Taxes Show $667,65O Rise Over 1854

JUNEAU, R-Territorial taxes showed an increase of $667, $50 for the first nine-month period of 1855 over the same period last year, Tax Commissioner Karl Dewey reported today.
 Total collections to date are 2,130,000, about 215 million dol lars less than the total collections for the entire 1954-55 fiscal year. Dewey said.
 Increases for the first nine months were in the raw fish tax, up $275,000, and tobacco tax, up $195,000 under an act of the 1855 legislature to eliminate loopholes.
 Dewey attributed the increased collections to tighter enforcement and new payment procedures, coupled with higher rates on a number of taxes.
 Dewey estimated about 600 fewer employees in the territory than last year His estimate was based on the school head tax' which was increased from $5 to $7.50 by the last legislature. De- spite the increase in the tax rate, collections were $6,OO0 behind those for the same period last year, he said.
 k Other tax sources for which collections were higher for the first nine-month period included auto licenses, $13,0OO, amusement and gaming, $24,O00.
 On the down" side, Dewey re- ported a $6O,0OO lag in income tax collections which to date have totaled $4,393,950.
 Liquor taxes were down from last year about $1OO,O00, with to- tai collections for the nine-month period $1,036,800.

Demo Senators On
 Junket Deny They Got Special Planes

WASHINGTON, R- Two in dignant Democratic Senators flew back from Europe today, demand ing the Pentagon explain its as- sertion special planes had to be sent after them and other mem bers of their party at cost of $2O,00O.
 Firmly denying they ever asked any special transportation, Sens. Mcclellan of Arkansas and Sten- his of Mississippi voiced their in dignation after diSembarking from a regularly scheduled Military Air Transport Service Constellation that brought them and 42 others from Paris.
 Both said they expect top De- fense Department officials to give an explanation of stories last week that they declined to adjust their schedule to travel on regular flights.
 Referring to the Republican run Pentagon, Mcclellan de- clared:
 If there was any intent to em- barrass me, I positively refuse to be embarrassed by it. It's their mistake nm there's no mistake on our part"
 As. the senators flew home on a regularly scheduled military flight, the plane specially dis patched to fetch them from Mad rid stayed in Europe.
 Mcclellan described himself as completely mystified" by tn e Pentagon announcement that he and other senators in Europe and the Middle East on inspection tours had demanded special planes.
 'The whole purpose of our us ing Air Force planes was to save money" the Arkansas senator said.

Saar Plebescite Rejects Plan To EurOpeanize Area

SAARBRUECKEN, Saar, JAP - French Premier Faure and Ger man Chancellor Adenauer moved swiftly today to counter a crisis brewing between their two na- tions as a result of the Saar's 2 to l rejection of the plan to Europeanize the rich industrial valley.
 Faure and Adenauer exchanged telegrams expressing their con- viction that the outcome of the Saar plebiscite yesterday must not be allowed to upset relations between France and West Ger many.
 But already the vote had top pied the Saar's pro-French pre- mier and heightened demands from other German leaders for return of the German speaking coal and steel territory the Reich held before World War H.
 In Bonn, the West German gov ernment called for "a new solu- ton of the Saar." A communique issued after a cabinet meeting said this new solution must serve German French cooperation and the aim of European unity"
 The communique left open the question of whether another at tempt to settle the ancient dispute should be made by France and Germany alone or whether il would be put to the newly created 7-nation West European Union.

SAN FRANCISCO, R III San Francisco and the East Bay area rocked last night with the second damaging earthquake within seven weeks.
