Hammarskjold Obtains
New CeaSe-Fire
Agreement in Palestine

UNITED NATIONS, NY, R-
U.N. Secretary General Dag Ham
marskjold told the Security Coun-
Gil Thursday he has obtained new
unconditional cease fire agree
mentS from Israel and her four
Arab neighbors, Egypt, Lebanon,
Syria and Jordan.
He told the Council in a pro
gress report" the next step in the
uneasy Middle East situation is
to re-establish full compliance
with other sections of the general
armistice agreements of 1949,
which ended the Palestine fight
ing.
There are indications he may
return in June to work for such
compliance and put the cease-fire
agreements on a more solid basis.
The Secretary General thus
completed the first part of the
assignment given to him by the
Security Council April 4.
He will go next to Cairo for a
brief conversation with Egyptian
officials and then fly to Rome.
He is expected at the U.N. this
weekend to write his final report,
to be given the Council next week.

House Votes 33
Billions More For
The Defense Dept.

WASHINGTON, LR = Voicing
concern over Russia's growing
military might. the House Appro-
priations Committee voted Thurs
day to give the Defense Depart
ment $33,635, 066,000 in new
money.
This is $512,748,00O less than
the total President Eisenhower
asked in his original budget last
January and in a supplemental
request last month for the book
keeping year starting July l.
But more than half of the re-
duction was made up of paper
changes which the committee said
would not affect specific military
programs.
The recommendations were con-
tanned in a bill which the House
will consider next week. The Sen
ate will act later.
Barring unforeseen develop
ments," the committee said, the
amount appropriated is generally
adequate to fully implement our
projected military requirements
and will enable the Defense De
partment to give the country an
increasingly strong and well-bal-
anced force"
It said emphasis during the
coming year will be on airpower
and new weapons, being phased
in at an increasing rate"

TAXATION
THAT DESTROYS

THAT DESTROYS
An Associated Press dispatch
notes that 14-year-old George
Wright III, who won 100000 on
the television quiz program THE
Big Surprise" would normally
owe $4,000 of it in income tax
under existing laws. But there is
a way, the boys father says,
through which George may be
able to keep a little more than
$4,000 Through a legal man
euver the boy may become the
"head of the family and claim
his mother, brother and sister as
his dependents. Lawyers figured
this one out and apparently they
are still searching for other man
euvers which might aid the tax
stricken boy.
But all agree that even with
recourse to all legal maneuVers,
young George will not be able to
salvage more than a few thousand
above the $4,000. This is ride
ul0us situation-through no fault
of the boy = even though the
money was not earned in the
normal sense. A rs per cent tax
on income is ridiculous. And it is
much worse in the still higher
brackets.
Cutting Deeply
For instance, the president of
certain big manufacturing plant,
whose production genius has pro-
vided constantly better jobs for
nearly 10000 employees, is worth
more than 100000 year to his
company on the basis of competi
tive salaries throughout the bust
ness and professional world. But
he doesn't make 100000 a year
Here is the Shocker: This mans
salary is S575,000 a year. The fed
eral government takes in taxes
$156,820 of the first 100000. On
the remaining $375,O00 the gov
eminent then levies a 81 per
cent tax. Thus from this one man
working for a salary-the gov
eminent takes S498.O7O as its first
mOuthful
That's just the Federal govern
ment's income tax On top of this,
state income taxes must be paid.
And out OF every expenditure
the man makes with the money
he retains, still other direct and
indirect taxes are paid. The Fed
eral income tax alone cuts his
$575,000 salary to about $4,000;
and when the other state and Fed
eral taxes are extracted, the net
income IS considerably lower.
The situations created by our
ridiculous tax structure are so
fantastic that actually in some
cases people are better off finan-
cially if they refuse to accept a
raise in salary or if they care
fully limit their earning capacity.
There is proposal in Congress,
the Reed-Dirksen Amendment,
which would limit the top rate of
income taxes to 25 per cent. On a
three-fourths majority vote, Con-
gress could however, assess high
er taxes, so long as the top rate
would not exceed the lowest rate
by more than Is percentage
points. The adoption of this
amendment would free consider
able investment capital. AS a re-
suit business and industrial ex-
mansion would ca broaden the tax

Wilcox Passport
Case Reopened

The United States Court Of
Appeals yesterday reopened the
passport case of Connecticut
Artist Anita Parkhurst Wilcox
and her husband Henry.
In brief order the court set
aside a District Court ruling
which had upheld Secretary Of
State Dulles refusal to renew
passports granted the couple in
1852.
In refusing to renew. Secre-
tary Dulles had cited attendance
of the Wilcoxes at a so-called
peace conference in Red China
in 1852. He also cited reports
! that Mrs. Wilcox had implied
f, the United States was guilty Of
( germ warfare during the Korean
conflict.
Both the Willcoxes have sworn
they never were Communists.
In remanding the case to Dis
trict Court as a transmission belt
for further action by Secretary
Dulles. the appellate court said
its ruling in the Boudin case
must be followed.
In that case the court held
. that the Secretary of State must
make further findings to back up
his contention that Attorney
Leonard Boudin Of New York
sought to go abroad as a sup
porter Of the Communist Party.
Mr.. Boudin later was granted
a passport.

Eight Men SET
For Assault
On South Pole

McMURDo SOUND, Antarc-
tica, Thursday, Nov. IS R.-
Eight men and a team Of II sled
dogs are set to attempt to crack
the icy defenses of the South
Pole as soon as a sunspot black
out on radio communications
lifts.
(Receipt Of this message,
delayed two days in trans
mission, indicated the COM
munications blackout has
lifted.)
The men and dogs, however,
will not have to travel to the
pole under their own power as
did the last expedition-that of
Road Amundsen IS years ago.
They will be flown aboard two
planes and once there they will
start building the key south
polar station of Operation Deep
freeze.
The eight men who will be the
first in history to spend any ex-
tensive period at the South Pole
are:
The head Of the construction
party, 1t. Richard A. Bowers Of
Quonset, r. l., and Harrisburg,
Pa, a graduate of Yale Engi-
neering School.
1t. John Tuck, jr., Auburn,
Mass, a recent Dartmouth grad
uate, second in command.
Thomas T. Montgomery. ra-
dioman, Vineyard Haven. Mass.
John A. Randall, mechanic,
Northf1eld, Mass.
Jerry L. Nolen. aerographer,
Detroit.
William A. Bristol, photog-
rapher, Quonset. r. l., and Oro-
vile. Calf.
Floyd A. Woody, hospital
corpsman, San Diego, Calf.
Dale L. Powell, radioman, Col
orado Springs, Colo.
All eight are members Of the
93-man party which wintered
over at this base on Ross Island.
All are trained in a half dozen
different skills beyond their for
NAL classifications.
The pilots selected to make the
difficult landings at the Pole, the
second and third ever to be
made there, are 1t. Comdr. Con-
rad S. Shinn Of Spray, N. c., and
1t. Comdr. Raymond E. Curtis
Of Keene Valley, N. Y.
Comdr. Shinn will be flying the
plane named Que Sera Sierra, the
same that he flew to the first
landing at the South Pole two
weeks ago. Comdr. Curtis craft
is named Takahe, a New Zealand
! Maori name meaning frightlesS
bird. Both planes are ski
equipped Dakotas.
Chief obstacle in the assault
on the Pole has been the bitter
cold. A 58-below-zero tempera-
ture was encountered in the first
pole landing on October 81. This
coupled with the 10.000-foot al
titude there forced a two-week
delay in the project. However,
as summer" comes to Antarctica
it is hoped the temperatures at
the Pole may rise to 35 to As
below zero by the end Of this
month

CAB DRIVER GETS
DREAM RUN: 'ONCE
AROUND THE u. S.

EAST ORANGE. N. j.. R.-
How would you like to get into
a taxicab and blandly order,
"Once around the United
States?"
That. If effect, is just what
an elderly woman did here
yesterday. She's going to pay
a fiat rate Of $40 a day plus
the drivers expenses as she
. goes to Florida, Denver, and
other points.
The woman's name was
withheld by the cab company.
She had ordered "a careful
driver who's respectful to a
passenger" and one who
wouldn't have to leave a wife
and children.
Charles Ramp of East
Orange got the lucky assign
ment. His wife is dead and his
children are married, so he
fitted the particulars.

Local Basis
Fuvored on
Segregation

RICHMOND. April 7 (P.-Vir-
gin4a's superintendent of public
instruction says he's in partial
agreement with the view ex-
pressed by the committee on the
White House conference on edu-
cation that segregation problems
must be left to the localities.
The committee, in it's final re-
port. expressed the unanimous
opinion yesterday that racial de-
segregation must be worked out
by each community within
the intent of the relevant Su-
preme Court decision"
Il would subscribe to the state
ment that it should be worked
out on local basis in keeping
with general State policies"
Dowell j. Howard said today.
Mr.. Howard added, however,
that the committee making the
report sis the same committee
that ruled that segregation would
not be discussed at the con-
ference.
Mr.. Howard headed Virginia's
delegation to the White House
conference on education. Yester-
days committee report was based
partly on conclusions reached at
the conference and partly on adj
ditional findings by the commit
tee and it's consultants.

Basic Lesson in Politics
Given Maryland Students

University of Maryland stu
dents with a laundering for the
not-so-gentle science of politics
were given basic lessons in the
subject yesterday by Maryland's
leading politicos-the president
of the State Senate, the minor
ity leader of the State Senate, a
United States Senator and a
Congressman. and the States
spellbinding Gov. McKeldin.
The Governor told students at
"a Youth in Politics" conference
at the College Park campus. that
his first political speaking chores
as a young lawyer were per-
formed atop garbage truck in
Baltimore.
He advised beginning politi-
clans that complete acquies-
cence" to the wishes of party
elders amounts to "stoogery at
its reactionary worst"
Pledged Support
The Republican Governor also
pledged his support of laws to
lower the legal voting age to 10
and chided young Republicans
and Democrats for not actively
campaigning for the measure.

question was before the Legisla-
ture a few years ago Q95l)

selves-where the 19-year-olds
and the 20-year-oldS?"
He said opponents Of the lower
voting age thus had one strong
argument against the measure
the lack of demand "by those
who would be its direct bene-
f1ciaries."
Devise Own Roles
Urging young people to devise
their own political roles, the
Governor recommended that
youth groups investigate immi-
grafton provisions of the McCar-
ran-Walter Act that prevent
Eastern European refugees from
coming in"
Political leaders who spoke at
the conference included State
Senator Louis Goldstein, Demo-
cratic president of the General

White House residents are we'll

January z issue of the Saturday
Evening Post under the byline
by Joe Louis-as told to Ed
ward Linn He said his gross
purses during his ring career
totaled $4,606,721.69.
The article said Louis doesn't
actually know how much the tax
total is and figures he never can
get even because tits like doing
roadwork on a treadmill."
Louis wrote he owed some
thing like 100000 a year ago
of which $544,945 was the origi-
nal assessment and the remain
der interest at 6 per cent. He
said a new claim was filed against
him, November 30, 1855, for
$507 $40 in taxes and interest.
