Death Stalks An Ambulance

The shrill shriek of the ambu- lance siren may cause shudder to run down the spine-but ap- parently its implications don't register in the minds of some motorists.
 When the siren is heard it means many times matter of life and death. Nothing should be allowed to impede the progress of an ambulance-for it, no doubt, is on its way to an accident or re- turning from one-and death in either case turks nearby.
 The sound of the siren means, in effect-"Pun over to the side" The ambulance needs and should have the right-of-way.
 Many motorists, according to the Police Department, pay no heed to the siren. The ambulance is delayed several minutes by these thoughtless motorists. These few minutes are the precious ones -the telling ones-that spell the

Writer of "Alaska's Flag To Receive Honorary
 Doctor of Letters Degree

Claudia Marie Drake, writer of "Alaska's Flag" will receive an honorary Doctor of Letters degree at the University of Alas ka's 36th annual commencement May 26.
 Dr. Ernest N. Patty, univer- sity president, said that the honor will be conferred upon Mrs. Drake in recognition of her con- tribution to Alaska literature in the writing of the song and for her long and devoted career in public school education in Alaska.
 Mrs. Drake became secretary in 1919 to the first commissioner of the newly territorial department of education. In 1884 she was named assistant commissioner of education and held that post until her resig- nation in 1945. She used all means of transportation to reach most areas of Alaska in the per formance of her ever increasing duties.
 Her "Alaska's Flag" was later set to music by Mrs. Elinor Du- senbury. The song was published in 194O and was adopted as Alas ka's official song in 1855.
 Earlier, the university announ- ced that it will present an hon orary Doctor of Laws to Fred A. Seaton, U. s. secretary of in terior, and an honorary Doctor of Science to pr. Sydney Chap man, president of the interna- tional committee for the Inter national Geophysical Year, and advisory scientific director of the Geophysical Institute on campus.

Congress Not Nuts To Pass Military Reorganization

WASHINGTON, LR - Presi- dent Eisenhower said today it is just as sensible to say Congress is going nuts and will abolish the Defense Department as it is to contend that Eisenhower wants a single military service.
 Eisenhower angrily told a questioner at his news conference that his defense reorganization plan-under bipartisan attack in Congress not weaken the individual services.
 Eisenhower said he is asking certain operational command authority for the Secretary of Defense and the joint chiefs of staff but these services will not be weakened by such a change.
 Sarah McClendon, reporter for several Texas newspapers, said the charge had been made in Con- gress that Eisenhower's plan could lead to a situation where one man would have a personal military force.
 Flushing, Eisenhower asked the reporter whether she had read the law he proposed.
 When she replied she had, Eisenhower said no, she had not.
 It would be just as sensible to say that Congress is going nuts and will abolish the Defense De pertinent as to say his plan will set up a single service, the Pres ident said. He added that he was not doing that.

Russia Withdraws Charge Against
 U. s. Arctic Flights

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, R- Facing defeat, the Soviet Union gave up a fight Monday night to have the U. N. Security Council demand a halt to Arctic flights toward the Soviet frontier by U. s. hydrogen bombers.
 Soviet delegate Arkady A. So- bolev withdrew a resolution claiming the American flights risked nuclear war after nine of the other 10 countries on the coun- cil had spoken against it in a six-hour debate.
 U. s. delegate Henry Cabot Lodge said \ the flights of the U. s. Strategic Air Command were practice to keep up it's de- terrent strength and "could not possibly be the accidental causes of war" He asserted the flights would continue.
 Britain, Canada, Nationalist China, Columbia, France, Iraq, Japan and Panama sided with the United States. The other coun- cil member Sweden, kept silent.
 After Lodge proposed the council dispose of the Russian resolution before adjournment, Sobolev twice failed with motions to gain time by adjourning the debate overnight Only Sweden voted with the Soviet "Union.
 The Russian then withdrew his resolution to censure the United States, protesting Lodge had sidestepped free discussion and resorted ito the voting ma chine" The American delegate denied the charges, saying, "the simple fact was that the Soviet Union did not have enough votes to push it's proposal through"
 Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko had charged that U. s. bombers armed with nuclear weapons were making repeated flights across the Arctic toward Russia in response to false radar alerts. He said an error might result in an attack which would trigger an atomic war.
 The U. s. government denied Gromyko's charge, asserting it had a foolproof system to pre- vent an attack by mistake. The State Department said it well comed Security Council debate on the Russian charge.

zig-zag stitcher or a straight
stitcher? A cabinet or a portable
type? A new or a rebuilt ma
chine? If you are shopping for
sewing machine, the wide range
available may be confusing.
You might ask What kind of
sewing do l do and how often do 1
use the machine ?" suggests Edna
Akers, Ohio State University Ex-
tension clothing and textiles spe-
cialist. If you use your machine
for plain sewing without machine
made decorative effects, straight
m a de ecorative effects, a
straight-stitching machine is salts
factory. If you do lot of sewing
that calls for decorative stitching
and embroidery, a zig-z ag ma
chine is especially useful. The lat
ter machine is the more expensive,
and you should decide whether
you do enough specialisty-type
sewing to warrant the added price.
If you are trying to decide be-
tween a cabinet and a portable
type machine, remember that a
good cabinet with well-supported
leaves and sturdy legs gives good
sewing support, and 1t is always
ready for use.
Portable machines are handy
for people who live where space is
limited and for people who move
often. Some portables are fitted
with an extension table for work
surface. You can choose between
lightweight and regular-head port
ables, explains the specialist. Your
choice will depend on how much
sewing or mending of bulky, heavy
fabrics you do.
What about rebuilt machines :?
Miss Akers points out that you
should consider the same things
when buying a rebuilt machine as
when purchasing a new one. Look
ing at variety of machines can
help you decide on the type to buy,
and actually sewing on a machine
will help you find out if it is easy
to operate, is in good running or
der, and if it is adaptable to your
sewing needs. Knowing that the
dealer is reliable is very important
when buying a rebuilt machine.
Whether buying a new or rebuilt
machine, be sure to decide on how
many years you plan to use the
machine, and find out from the
dealer about replacement parts
and inquire about guarantees, con-

taxpayers Asked
To Use Forms AS
Sent By Offices

COLUMBUS - (SpeciaD -
Federal income taxpayers who re-
ceive in the mail punch-card type
Forms 1O4OA were urged today by
District Director Nathaniel Look
er of the Internal Revenue Serv-
ice to use them rather than to
obtain other copies of the same
form or to use the regular Form
1040.
The punch-card Form 104OA is
intended for the use of taxpayers
whose incomes during 1857 were
less than $1,000 total income con-
sisting of wages reported on Form
VIZ and S1oO interest and divi-
dend income. Mr.. LOCKER explain
ed that the forms actually distrib-
uted by the Revenue Service
through the mails direct to tax
payers already contain certain
punched entries relating to statis-
tics determined in last years re-
turns of these same taxpayers,
and it is desired to maintain such
key information intact. For this
reason taxpayers are asked not to
obtain other copies of the same
form which would of course lack
these details.
However, Mr.. LOCKER pointed
out. taxpayers who in 1856 were
in the under $1,000 bracket, but
who in 1857 earned income above
that sum should of course disre-
gard the 1040A and file on the
regular Form 1040. Also, any tax
payers whose 1857 income was un-
der $1,000 but who during the
year had extra deductible expens-
es greater than ten percent OF
their incomes must obtain and use
the regular Form 104O If they
wish to itemiZe.
Prospective taxpayers who dc
not receive Form 1040A. but are
/ eligible to use it, were urged to
