The Nome nugget. [volume] (Nome, Alaska) 1938-????, 1956-07-02

The Internal Revenue Service has announced it
is going to shrink Dewitt Cntons picture fraction
OF an inch You might not know who Dewitt Clinton
was, where his picture is used you might not
care whether his picture is shrunk fraction of an
inch not
However, you should care, since the shrinking of
his picture fraction of an inch is going to save the
taxpayers $250000 It is little hard to realize that the
shrinking of Clintons picture this small amount will
that much money, but it will.
Dewitt Clintons picture is seen on the revenue
stamp placed every package of cigarets Some TO-
100000 stamps sold every year to cgaret manufac
trers by the government and producing these stamps
costs the government about 1,250000.
1t is believed that the cost can be cut down by
about $250,0O0 by cutting down the width of the
stamp Credit for the idea goes to Franklin L. Thatcher
chief of the Internal Revenue Services publications
branch. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing does
the printing and it is in the process of getting
ready for the switch-over.
The cost of special watermarked woodpulp paper
will be reduced because the number of freight carloads
of this paper needed will be reduced There will be
1900 stamps to sheet instead of the present 300
We think it might be a good idea for the govern
ment to give Thatcher years income tax exemption.
In fact, if every government employee offered
years income tax exemption for every idea he came
UP with that saved more than $50,000 believe the
government could operate more cheapy in the next
few years.

Hercules Planning
Production Expansion

Plans for an extensive addition
to production facilities at it's oxy-
chemicals plant in Gibbstown, New
Jersey, were announced today 'by
Hercules Powder Company The ex-
pansion program at the plant,
which is the East Coasts newest
synthetic phenol plant, will in
volve doubling the production ca
pacity of para-cresol and its deriv-
atives, chemicals in a variety
of industries inc .ng petroleum,
foods, and essential oils.
A previously announced addition
at Gibbstown for the production of
three million pounds of para-cresol
annually, together with facilities
for it's conversion to di-tert-butyl-
para-cresol (butylated hydroxyto-
luene), is scheduled for completion
late i'm October or November I'm
der the new expansion program,
the capacity of this unit will now
be increased to six million pounds
of para-cresol annually. The pro-
duction capacity of di-tert-butyl-
para-cresol will also be doubled
Company officials said that the
extensive addition to production
facilities is result of rapidly ex-
panding markets for para-cresol and
its derivatives.
One of the expanding markets for
para-cresol is in the manufacture
of anisaldehyde. which is being
used in increasing quantities to
make special type of synthetic
hormone.
Para-cresOl is also a fast-grOw-
ing raw material for the production
of antioxidants. Hercules officials
revealed that the company has
under development a new anti
Oxidant using para-crsol as one
of the basic raw materials.
Markets for Observation-Disclosures
cresol are also expanding rapid
ly, particularly as an antiC1idant
in the petroleum industry and in
the animal food industry. Recently
developed applications in poultry
feed alone show large-scale poten-
tialities.
Hercules Higgins Plant at Gibbs
town has been in operation for less
than two years, and was designed
and built with future expansion
in mind% The Hercules cumena-
oxidation process for the produc-
tion of phenol, acetone, and re-,
lated products is rted at the
plant, and the beginning of oper-
ations in early 1855 marked the
entry of the company into this
entirely new field.
The process and the plant are
so versatile that if the market for
a product, such as para-cresOl,
expands rapidly, the expansion can
easily be incorporated into the ex-
listing plant layout.

Among Negro
Voters Seen

STAR CONVENTION BU-
REAU. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug
~. - The civil rights plank
adopted by the Democrats will
drive some Negro voters to the
Republican Party, Roy Wilkins,
executive secretary of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People,
predicted yesterday.
I'VE expect the Republican
plank on civil rights will be a
good one" Mr.. wilkins told
reporters shortly before urging a
COP platform subcommittee to
write a strong civil rights plank
in this years platform.
Mr.. Wilkins said the 1856
Democratic civil rights plank is
weaker than the 1852 version.
He said it will result in a shift
of Negro voters from the DEM
ocratic party but declined to
predict how great the movement
might be. He pointed out, how
ever, that the Negro Democratic
vote has fallen off about Is per
cent since 1852.
Democratic Plank Scored
Mr.. wilkins called the DEM
ocratic plank an unfortunate
development not likely to make
the colored voter happy"
The 1856 plank is weaker than
the 1852 version, he added, be-
cause it "omits all reference to
Federal legislative problems such
as the FEPC pledge in the 1852
platform and refuses to include
a pledge to carry out the Su-
preme Court decision on school
segregation"
Senator DirkSen of Illinois.

immigration subcommittee of

seemed almost to concur in some
of Mr.. wilkins remarks as he
told reporters in a separate in
terview:
obviously a finding by the
country's highest tribunal can't
just go floating around in the
air. If it does, it has no mean
ing. If it's going to have any
value, it's got to be enforced,
and sooner, or later you have to
say It,

for fence-sitting by the White
House is past. If President
Eisenhower has set his heart on
the denomination of Mr.. Nixon,
they want to be told so-not in

Mr.. Javits said.

His proposed plank included the
arms for legitimate defense to
Israel, or any other nation whose
freedom and independence may
be jeopardized by aggression and
