long run 1t Is a great time and
energy saver not to sew white
collars and cuffs on spring
dresses. #. when you buy a
new dress that has removable
white collar and cuffs, you take
the time to sew snaps on them
1t saves a lot Of bother later
on after each washing. ] notice
that some Of the dress manu-
facturers are finally getting
this through their heads. but
] have been doing it for years.
and believe me, it Is worth the
few minutes you spend when
the dress Is new. ! have also
done this with shoulder pads
for years.
Now I wonder If some Of the
readers could come to my aid.

anything that viii keep my
crinolines nicely starched. !
have used all kinds Of starches,
but the crinoline SENS to 60
limp in no time even with the
best Of them. Some don't seem
to do much good at all. ]
would certainly appreciate
hearing Of some never-fail
method for doing this.
Thanks for all the tips from
you good readers. ] have been

Strategic Air Command To Be Equipped With New B-52 Jet BOmbers
 By ELTON e FAY
By ELTON C. FAY

WASHINGTON, tR - The Air Force announced today it will be- gin late this spring to equip one of it's Strategic Command wings with B-52 bombers - capable of delivering hydrogen bombs to faraway targets at high speed and high altitude.
 First outfit to be equipped with the all-jet Boeing "Stratofortress, '" intended ultimately to replace the present fleet of piston and jet engined B-36s, will be the 93rd Bomb Wing, stationed at Castle Air Force Base, Merced, Calf.
 Secretary of the Air Force liar old E. Talbott's official announce ment made no reference to recent statements on Capitol Hill report ing that bugs" had developed in the big jet bomber. The timing of the announcement seemed to serve as a reply to those reports.
 The 93rd Wing now is equipped with BAY Boeing medium jet bombers. More than a score of the eight-jet, swept-wing B-52s are understood to have been pro- duced so far by the Seattle plant of Boeing Airplane Co.,
 With a minimum of 30 bombers required for wing of heavies, it may be a year or more before the 93rd is a trained and combat ready organization for operation as unit of the Strategic Air Command.

Senate Votes Down Increased Payroll Tax Proposal
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, R- Five Democrats hopped the political fence to join four Republicans yesterday in slapping down a payroll tax pro- posal, but some may hop back today when the measure returns in slightly diluted form.
 Senator Rivers, former chair man of the Employment Security Commission, offered an amend ment which would have raised the unemployment insurance tax level from the first $3,000 of a workers pay to the first $4,800. There is bill before the House too, calling for raise to $4,800 in the tax level. The House bill also would have the workers con tribute one per cent.
 Democrats Barr, Jensen, Lyng, Werner and Noland joined Repub- licans Barnes, Butrovich, Jones and Stepovich in opposing the amendment on a 9-7 vote On the other side were Democrats Beltz, Cooper, Egan, Ellis, Foster, Owen and the measures packer, Rivers. Later Sen. Barr said he might be willing to approve a raise to the S3,6OO level and the senators prepared to start working today on a middle ground proposal that might win.
 The Rivers proposal would have cut off about one-third of those who qualified in 1854, the sponsor estimated. It was one of a series of amendments he pro posed for Senate Bill 56
 The major clash over the ESC bill was between Rivers and Mar GUS Jensen D-Dougas), one of

 A bill calling for blood tests of persons suspected of drunken driving was put in by Rep. E. c. Bailey D-Anchorage).

 It also provides that upon a second or subsequent conviction the driver would be subject to a fine up to S1,OOO and from 10 days to one year imprisonment, or both, plus a license suspension for not less than 18O days.
 Another bill put in by Bailey would allow abatement of a bawdy house if conclusive evil dence of a single instance of vice was presented against it.
 A five-year age for kinder garten enrolment would be set in a bill introduced by Rep. P. Kalamarides D-Anchorage) by request. It would require the child to be five before Nov. to be enrolled.

Third A-Blast in Test Series Seen In Five States

LAS VEGAS, New, R-A red dish flash so bright it was seen in five states accompanied the pre- dawn detonation Tuesday of the third atomic device in the 1855 test series.
 Touched off in perfectly clear weather at 5:30 a.m., the spectacle was visible as far away as Poca- tello, Idaho, 475 miles way. Ob- servers in San Francisco, Los An geles, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and St. George, Utah, also wit messed it.
 The Atomic Energy Commis- sin said the explosion was similar in power to the second shot of the series, last Feb. 22, which would make it one of the smaller explosions here. The Feb. p blast gave Las Vegas it's best jolt in three years. Yesterdays, however, barely rattled windows here.
 At the control station on Yucca Flat, 75 miles northwest, observ- CTS said they felt the shock as a strong thump" The device was detonated from 3OO-foot tower.
 A mushroom cloud rose quickly to above 27,OOO feet and formed an ice cap, then moved off toward the east under the impetus of a 30-knot wind
 The only word on yesterdays shot was an AEC statement that it had a yield of several kilo- tons" A kiloton is equal to 1000 tons of INT. The Hiroshima at omic bomb had a 2O-kiloton yield.

Air Force Starts
 Direct Airlift from McChOrd to Ladd

FAIRBANKS, Rl-The Air Force Tuesday started a direct airlift of supplies from McChord Air Force Base, Wash, to Ladd AFB here, according to Brig. Gen. T. Alan Bennett, commander of the 11th Air Division.
 Gen. Bennett said the new sys- tenn eliminates trans-shipment of goods from Elmendorf AFB at Anchorage to Ladd after supplies arrive at Elmendorf from state side
 The new method, according to the Air Force, cuts down on the delivery time from McChord to Ladd by two to three days. All costly, critical items formerly transported by surface carrier are being airlifted.
 Another advantage, said Ben nett, will be elimination of storage at Elmendorf of a To-day supply of 373,O0O items valued at about S133,697 ,000. With the new meth od in operation, Bennett estimat- ed,, the inventory at Elmendorf would be cut to a 45-day supply of 153,000 items by next year.
 The capital tied up in these supplies, he said, will be cut to S9O million
 ''I want warehouses in the air, Bennett told newsmen.
 All air cargo is to be carried by Military Air Transport planes making one-stop flights to the ter ritory Previously not enough car go was air lifted to warrant indi- vidual flights to the Fairbanks area so all Alaska flights were stockpiled at McChord and flown to Elmendorf for trans-shipment to the Fairbanks area.

Western World
 Leads Russia In Atom Development

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower said today the west ern world has enjoyed all along a great lead over Russia in devel- opment of hydrogen bombs and atomic weapons.
 He said he thinks 1t would be pointless to speculate on how long the lead may prevail. He just doesn't know
 Eisenhower's news conference remarks were in response to a re- quest for comment on Prime Min ister Churchil's statement yes terday that the United States has many times" the H bomb strength of the Soviet Union Churchill added that Russia would be in a position, however, to launch a full scale nuclear at tack against the United States in two to four years.
 Eisenhower went on to say we do know that the western world has enjoyed a great lead in the H-bomb and the atomic weapons field in general.
 There does come a time, he said, when if you get big enough supply of particular weapon, there is doubt as to whether it is important that you acquire a lot more such weapons.
 The news conference also touched on these other matters:
 Zhukov-The President was re- minded that he told a recent news conference he would be glad to consider inviting Marshal Georgi Zhukov, Russia's new defense minister, to the United States. Eisenhower commented he has given the matter some thought but has decided against extend ing an invitation at this time
 The President added, however, he hasn't forgotten about the mat ter, and indicated that Zhukov- whom he met in Berlin and be- came we'll acquainted with at the end of World War II-might pos sibly get an invitation later
 Taxes response to ques- ton, Eisenhower said he natural ly was delighted and gratified the Senate Finance Committee voted 0-6 yesterday against the Demo- cratic proposal to cut everybody's taxes by S20 next Jan. l.
 Labor Merger - h reply to 2 question as to whether he sees any danger of labor monopoly as. a result of the planned merger of the AFL and CIO, Eisenhower said he doubts any organization can set itself up as the bosses of any great number of Americans.

Proposed Power and Resources
 Commission Would Yield Broad
 Powers Over Alaska Develp elpmcnt
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, LR - Legislation to create an Alaska Power and Re sources Commission, with broad powers to enter the power devel- opment business and serve as a negotiating agency with Canada and the US. government, drew praise and criticism in the Terri torial House yesterday.
 The two engineer authors of the bill, Reps. Irene Ryan and Harry Palmer, Anchorage Demo crats, described it as far-sighted act, looking toward the day when Alaskan rivers will be tanned for an industrial empire
 Rep. E. c. Bailey D-Anchor- age), who described himself as a long time worker for public power, expressed fear the bill was giving ''too much power" to the proposed commission of five.
 He attempted to strike the pro- vision for the commission to be the referee in disputes between power agencies in the territory.
 Bailey described power devel- opment for flask as second in his mind only to statehood, but said he would favor at this time only a commission to launch a compre- hensive study of hydroelectric possibilities.
 Rep. Edith Bullock CR-Kotze- but also expressed the opinion too much power was being pro- posed for the commission in this first step toward it's creation.
 Mrs. Ryan responded it has to have broad power to function at the high level proposed for it. Mrs Ryan, who is Alaska's only woman engineer, said she had been working on the plan for two years.
 Dependent upon approval by Congress, it would represent AL aska in trying to deal with Can ada over water and power ex- change rights.
 Subject to approval by Con- gress, it would be empowered to issue revenue bonds to finance. power dams and other develop ments and could go into the power business. However, it could not take over any existing power systems
 Mrs. Ryan said one of the inn mediate needs is a study of water flow in the streams of Alaska so
