In Ship Sinking

vERACRUZ. Mexico, July IA
R.-Rescue vessels searched the
rought waters of the Gulf of
Campeche today for 26 persons

persons were reported rescued.
All those aboard the 145-ton
vessel were believed to be Mexi-
cans.
Ore Carrier Sinks
ThesLa Flecha sinking was the
second marine disaster of the day
in the Caribbean area. Early
yesterday a Liberian ore carrier,
the Sun Princess, rammed and
sank the 6,155 ton British
freighter Geologist off Trinidad.
Nineteen crewmen of the Geo.
logist were missing and the body
Of another was recovered.
The La Flecha went down
about four miles off Veracruz.
She was bound across the gulf
for the Port of Progreso, on the
Yucatan Peninsula. Coast Guard
vessels and fishing boats searched
throughout the night for sur
vivors.i
A rescued crewman said the
La Flecha was carrying at least
66 persons. Her sailing list
showed 80 passengers and a crew
Of IA aboard, but many of those
rescued were not on the list.

PANMUNJOM, Korea, July IA
R.-Communist Gen. Lee Cho
today personally invited allied
correspondents to come to Pyong-
yang August IS and told them
he would always be available for
press conferences there.
He held his first such confer
ence today and used it to spout
anti-American propaganda.
He accused the United Nations
Of trying to wreck the Neutral
Nations Supervisory Commission
in Korea so that it could "illeg-
ally introduce (arms) and build
up the puppet Syngman Rhee
army"
Today's conference was an in
formal outdoor session between
Gen. Lee. senior Communist
member Of the joint Military
Armistice Commission, and four
allied ncwsmen.
Earlier, Mai. Gen. Harlan C.
Parks, the UNC's senior member
on MAC. told Allied correspond
ents that attendance at q formal
press conference inside a Com
munist occupied building in the
joint security area would be in
terpreted as violation of the
spirit and intent of the armistice
agreement"
On July 5, Gen. Parks pro-
hibited Allied newsmen from ac-
cepting an invitation to a Lee
press conference.
Gen. Parks statement today
was a somewhat milder ex-
pressed version of Allied disap-
proval.
Gen. Parks, however, did not
prohibit Allied correspondents

ports of Kangnung and Kunsan
and two from North Korea
at Chongjin and Hungnam.
Gen. Lee said the Communist
and allied sides are not using
the four ports "for the purpose
of rotation and replacement" of
troops and supplies-the purpose
for which they were originally
designated in the armistice
agreement.

Uranium Hunt
Gaining Recruits
In This Area

Frank c. CurtisS, Forest Supervis-
or Of the Custer National Forest.
and administrative head of local
LII Projects.
Mr.. CurtisS explained that GEN
orally only that land which has
always been public domain is To-
Gated under the mining law of
1872. By far the greatest acreage
OF government lands in LII Prof.
ects were in private ownership
before they were purchased as
submarginal lands under the
Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant
Act. Minerals under these lands
may have originally been reserved.
IN whole or in part by the Federal
Government when the original
patent was issued, or the pri-
Vate owner may have reserved
the minerals to himself in whole
OF in part before selling to the
government in the 1905.
Ordinarily speaking, where the
government has reacquired min
eral rights, prospecting and mining
can only be legally carried on
under a permit or lease issued by
the Bureau of Land Management.
Illegal prospecting does not es-
tablish title to minerals, nor does
1t establish a prior right over
holders of Bureau of Land Man
agement permits or leases, even
though they may not have yet
occupied the land. In addition, IN
authorized disturbance of the sur
face of Government lands is pun
ishable as a tresspass, Mr.. Curtis
explained.

Legislature
Changes income
Tax Law

The State Legislature just clos
ed, made two important changes
in the state income tax law, SO
states L. c. Burns, Supervisor of
the Income Tax Department for
the State Board of Equalization.
They adopted a Withholding tax
law which is patterned after the
Federal Withholding tax law.
They adopted a law requiring
business men and those who are
self-employed to estimate their
annual profits and file semiannual
reports Of declarations, and pay
the tax on such estimates.
Neither of these laws become
effective until July 1, 1855. The
Legislature enacted no laws which
Will affect the tax due for 1854
and prior years. The returns for
1854 are now due and should be
filed promptly. Blank forms and
Instructions covering the new
laws T now in process of prepa-
ration. They will be ready for
distribution in about sixty days.
The board does not have a COM
plete list of employers who are
required to withhold tax from en-
plOyeeS. Neither do they have a
list Of self-employed taxpayers
who r required to file declara-
ton Of estimates and pay their
tax Semiannually.
It is the duty of every employ
er and every self-employed tax
payer to file a request for blanks
with the board.
Failure to receive such blanks
viii excuse no n from the pen
altieS imposed because of such
failure.
The board states that it is i'm
portant that each withholding
agent and each self employed tax
payer file his requisition early.
Such request must show whether
he wants forms for a withholding
agent or for a self-employed tax
payer. After a mailing list has
once been established it will be
possible for the board to mail
forms to all those who are on the
list.
The Board, however, can assume
no responsibility for blanks which
are not delivered by the postal
department.
