Imitation Cure
IHit as Failure
by Kefauver
By the Associated Press

Senator Kefauver. Democrat
of Tennessee. says the admin
istration is trying to slow down
imitation by a tight money
policy and this is like taking
aspirin to cure appendicitis. 4"
The Tennessee Democrat hit
at the recent $6-a-ton increase
in steel prices at a time when
the industry sis operating
nearly 20 per cent below its
full capacity"
steel is just one concen-
trated industry, Senator Ke-
fauver said yesterday in a re-
port prepared for radio and
television use in Tennessee.
THE overall effect Of this
phenomena is an increase in
the cost of living in the face
Of a falling demand for their
products"
Inquiry Planned
He said a Senate Judiciary
antitrust and monopoly sub"
committee, which he heads,
soon will begin an inquiry Into
those industries which main
tain administered prices
posted prices at which they
will sell regardless Of the fluc-
tuation Of demand"
I'VE must know more about
the effect Of such industries
before we can prescribe our
remedy" he said.
THE tight money policy
prescribes a sedative which has
yet to prove its value. What
we need is a complete and
thorough diagnosis to deter
mine the cause of the disease. y
The Senator said the theory
of the tight money policy is
to restrict "the ability Of busi-
ness and individuals to borrow
money or obtain new credit
and thus reduce demand and
imitation.
Notes Costs Rise
Contending the effort had
failed, Senator Kefauver said
that during the past year and
a half living costs have con-
tinued to hit new highs each
month for IA months out of the
last Is"
I'VE don't have to look al
fancy charts to know that we
are having imitation" he said
Most of us can tell simply by
looking at our wallets and
purses"
Senator Kefauver said the
administration rem e dy had
failed because prices continue
to go up in industries where
production is falling and where
goods are in oversupply."

Syria Accuses US. Of Attempt to
 Overthrow Govt

DAMASCUS, Syria, R-Syria accused the United States yester- day of plotting to overthrow President Shukri Kuwatly's gov ernment The United States en- bassy here quickly labelled the charge complete fabrication"
 An official government state ment said the United States indi- cated willingness to pay Syria be- tween 300 and 400 million dollars in aid if new government would make peace with Israel.
 Political quarters here said that Syria would lodge strong pro- test with the United States.
 The Damascus statement said major participants in the alleged conspiracy were ex-dictator Col Adib Shishekly, and the Syrian military attache in Rome, Col. Ibrahim Husseini. Shishekly was sentenced in absentia last Febru- ary to life imprisonment on a charge of leading a subversive group.
 The statement charged:
 The United States assigned an intelligence agent, identified as Howard Stone, to conspire with Shishekly and Husseini. Stone was described as ''the United States number one expert on coup d'etats," who previously organized similar plots in Sudan and Iran and was behind the American coup d'etat in Guate- mala in 1855"
 The statement added that Stone, ShiShekly and Husseini recently moved into Syria to carry out their plot with the help of the outlawed Syrian Social National Party and other agents and traitors"

To the laughing, excited Eski- mo children, Father John Hess, their Mission priest, who came to Holy Cross 42 years ago and has n't left since-and to the accom- panying faculty of nuns-this was as much fun as boarding a bus for school outing To the bush pilots it was tricky bit of flying but no more tricky or unusual than many other flights in the far north. To Alaska Airlines it was planned flight and it went off without hitch.
 Alaska Airlines, Inc, was formed in late 1887, acquiring Star Air Service and using the name Star Airlines until a few years later it became Alaska Airlines.
 The line established several firsts in Alaska's ever r-expanding economy. The first fresh milk brought in to the western section of the territory was flown in by Alaska Airlines when it became the flying milkman for residents of large part of Alaska.
 But whether it's milk or meat, passengers or freight that Alaska Airlines carries over the route of the Starliners, it is the efficiency and skill of the main overhaul and repair base at Paine Field, near Everett, Wash, and the sup porting service of the line stations that make it possible for Alaska Airlines to maintain efficiency that will continue to be not only up to but "above government re- quired standards

Moving School in Winter Is Part of
 Job to Alaska Airlines Bush Pilots

SEATTLE, R-Alaska Airlines bush pilots flew into a frozen, snow covered sandbar at Holy Cross on the Yukon River last winter to move the 26 students and five faculty members of a Jesuit Mission boarding school to Gulkana and a new school on the last frontier.
 Bush pilots made landings and takeoffs from an 80O-foot strip, shutting the passengers 42 miles over the frozen tundra to an Alaska Airlines DC-4 Starliner which carried the school to it's new and larger headquarters in Gulkana in the Copper Valley.

Although little publicized, Ann put Sizable
