West Germany o ut aw S Communist Party

KARLSRUHE, Germany, R - West Germany today outlawed the Communist Party as uncon- stitutional.
 Within minutes after the fed eral supreme court announced it's long awaited decision, police squads in major cities throughout the country swooped down on party headquarters.
 Property was confiscated and the offices padlocked. No arrests were ordered.
 Immediately after the ruling was announced a police cordon was thrown around the court building to prevent any Red dem onstration.
 The ban does not affect West Berlin since the old German cap ital is not now a part of the Federal Republic of West Ger many.
 The official East German radio in East Berlin immediately is- sued a call to West German work CTS to hold mass strikes and pro test rallies against the ban.

Boeing Vice President Predicts
 l,5OO mph Transports By 1875

} SEATTLE-Air travel in 1875 will be in 0-passenger jet trans ports with a maximum speed of 1,500 miles per hour at 50,000 feet elevation.
 Such a prediction was made recently by Wellwood E. Beall, Boeing Airplane Go. senior vice president, in a Boeing Magazine article commemorating the firms 10th anniversary last month.
 "The next 40 years will see an old saying disproved," Beall pre- dicted. Some things that go up will not come down-at least, not down to this earth.
 'The future of aviation is com- ing at us so fast my inclination is to duck. Pilotless aircraft are a reality, an earth satellite is just around the corner, and I am con- vinced. that we could land a rock ct on the moon within 10 years if we chose.
 "Often the best way to look ahead is to begin by looking back. An immediate impression is that in the early days we wese coming out with new designs every few months. AS planes grew in size and capability and their useful lives were extended, the time lapse between new designs rapid ly heightened.
 For example, l think the Boe- ing TOT jet transports, which will begin operation in 1859, will hold their position as the finest com mercial aircraft for at least 15 years"
 Since Boeing's founding in 1916 more than 23,450 airplanes of well over 100 designs have rolled out of their factory doors.

DO YOU WANT TO LOWER TAXES?

It would be possible to reduce income taxes by g percent for everyone = without eliminating or weakening any necessary government service or activity
 How could that be done? The Town Journal eX- plains it succincty in these words Here the fig the personal income tax takes from the peoples earnings about $50 billions year. The Hoover pro- posals for shaking out the waste and inefficiency would cut the cost of government by $7 Billions That amount SIS billions is 25 per cent of $30 billions. Save that much and taxes could come down 25 per- cent"
 That $7.5 billions could instead be applied to reducing the national debt which many think should precede tax reduction Or part could be used for debt reduction and part for tax reduction.
 Some of the Hoover Commission recommendations have gone into effect The prospect for others seems good But many of them-includng the most import ant from the standpoint of saving money and making government more efficient are dormant at this time They be brought to Life by public interest and public demand for reform

Road Construction

nOdQ SCuSlIuCllOfl
 There is no legal restriction against the construction of so- called pioneer roads by the Blu reau of Public Roads, according to Commissioner of Public Roads CD. Curtiss in writing Delegate Bartlett recently in connection with roads to be constructed by the Bureau through inclusion of Alaska in the Federal Aid High way System.
 Delegate Bartlett had queried Commissioner Curtiss following beliefs expressed in some quar- ters of Alaska that the territory would be penalized because the Bureau would not be permitted to construct low standard farm ato-market roads, mining roads and other pioneer access roads, but rather would be bound by rigid and costly standards.
 Commissioner Curtiss pointed out that the Bureau uses stand ards for secondary roads adopted by the American Association of State Highway Officials and ap- proved by the Bureau, "These standards are not high," the Commissioner wrote Delegate Bartlett, "but rather are gauged to the traffic they are intended to serve. The Bureau will not be bound by any rigid high stand ards but rather will adopt de- signs suitable for the traffic to be served and which can be main- tained at a reasonable cost"
 1857 Appropriations
 The President had sought and Congress allowed $40,0O0 for maintenance of the Nome Harbor by the Army Engineers.
 Under the Commerce Dept appropriation for the Civil Aero nautics Administration, amount ing to $13,840, 150, an amount of $170,000 was included for repair work on the Nome Airport.
 A 50-bed hospital at Kotzebue will be made possible through the appropriation of S1,145,000 made available to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
