Nothing We Won't DO' To Promote
 Peace, Says Dulles

WASHINGTON, R - Secretary of State John Foster Dulles said today every Soviet proposal for ending the cold war has been aimed at undercutting free world resistance to Communism.
 Dulles said there is nothing the United States will not do - in cluding a summit meeting with the Soviets - if it holds a reas- enable prospect of promoting peace.
 But he warned against any agreement between the two top world powers (which would give many unwary people sense of relief, and feeling that our na- tion need no longer make the ef forts and sacrifices that are now called for"
 The Soviet government has, for a long time, been trying to get that result" Dulles said.
 Tt is, however, my deep con- viction that the cold war cannot be ended in any such way and that to take that step would mere ly make it probable that the cold war would end in victory for in ternational Communism"
 He spoke in closed session before the House Foreign Affairs com mittee.
 Earlier, the United States was reported intending to explore full ly the Soviet talk of a cold war thaw - despite an officially ex- pressed belief here that Moscow is simply trying to create an illu- sion of peace.

Nixon Calls Russ 'Thaw' Talk A Play for Advantage

NEW YORK, tR - Vice Presi- dent Richard M Nixon says the latest Soviet call for a reduction of East-West tensions is contra dicted by Moscow's actions.
 While the Soviets are calling for thaW in the cold war, Nixon said Tuesday night, the only pre- posals they have made on major international issues ''have been designed not to end the cold war but to give them an advantage in prosecuting it.''
 Soviet Premier Khrushchev told a Communist Party congress in Moscow Tuesday that the Soviet Union hopes for an easing of ten sion between East and West. This echoed the sentiments of his Mon day statement that Deputy Pre- mier Mikoyan's recent visit to the United States had given Soviet leaders "the idea that the possi- bility of thaw in our relations is not excluded"
 Nixon said: We agree with making a breakthrough in reduc- ing world tensions.
 But this is true only if he sees the wisdom of thawing out the frozen Soviet position of the past"

COrdOva Council
 Fires City Manager

CORONA, LR nm Controversy which has split this small Alaska seacoast town came to head last night when the city council voted AZ to fire the city manager, Harry Whouck.
 Charles Simpler, Cordova fisherman, was named to serve as acting manager.
 The council voted to get rid of Whouck at a special meeting at tended by about 200 townspeople. A petition endorsing Houck's ad- ministration and signed by more than half of the community's reg istered voters was presented to the council last week. It bore 32O signatures.
 Whouck is Cordova's third city manager since the council-mana- ger form of government was adopted five years ago.
 At issue is a battle over Police Chief Colin Ingram. Whouck sup ported the chief. A faction in the town demanded reinstatement of a former chief.
 Harold E. Bonser. publisher of the Cordova weekly newspaper, said in an editorial last week the group seeking a change of police chiefs favored a-more lenient pol icy of law enforcement.
 Bonser accused the council of railroad tactics"

Human Space Traveller Being Selected In Wash.

NEW YORK, R - Selection of Americas first human space trav- eler is under way.
 Keith Glennan, U. s. Space Chief, startled staid dinner meet ing of the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences with this disclosure Tuesday night.
 The new Federal Space Agency, he said, has picked 10 rugged young Americans as candidates for the first manned satellite to orbit the earth.
 They will assemble in Wash ington for further tests, Glennan said, and be asked to volunteer for space flight. Within three months, their ranks will be re- duced to about a dozen.
 ''I suspect that the one who will make the flight will not know he is to do so until count-down day." he added.
 Glennan gave these quaifica- tions of the man who finally will be selected:
 l. A university degree in physi- cal science or engineering.
 2. A graduate of an Air Force or Navy test-pilot training school with at least 1,5OO flying hours.
 3. Superb condition, with the physical and psychological attri- butes suited for space flight as determined by aero-medical scien- lists.
 4. Younger than 40, and no tall CT than feet II. There are no weight restrictions.

 The measure appeared to be aimed at clearing the way for pos sible recall efforts at Cordova, where there has recently been a bitter dispute between the city council and city manager.
 The second Senate bill, intro duced by Senator Ralph Moody, Anchorage lawyer and chairman of the Legislative Council, would appropriate $15,OOO for a study of an Alaska judicial system. It would have to be completed in 120 days.
 The study should cover the en- tire judicial system, including a judicial code, required physical facilities and the anticipated cap ital outlay and annual operating costs involved, the measure sail
 On the House side, full commit tee organization was completed Tuesday and introduction of its first bill was expected today.

Quick Action Ordered By Wade On
 Alaska Government Reorganization

JUNEAU, R - Alaska's first Legislature, only three days old today, apparently faces request on quick governmental reorgani- zation.
 A closed conference was held by Acting Governor Wade with majority and minority leaders Tuesday.
 Reports circulated that Wade told the legislative leaders he wants quick action on bills to re- organize Alaska's government, under strong executive authority.
 The Senate received it's first two bills Tuesday. Number 1 was introduced by Senator B. J. Lo- gan, Cordova Democrat, and calls for shortening from six to three months the period of time before an elective official can be recalled.
 It would also make possible a recall election at any time. Pres ent law forbids recall elections immediately prior to a general

Scientists Hope To Set Man
 On The Moon In Next Decade

velopment of a possible death ray -veapon able to shatter objects from hundreds of miles in space - the time was indefinite.
 A number felt that 1869 may be too early to count on having a man on the moon. Among them was T. Keith Glennan, head of U. s. civilian space work.
 But Glennan figured there is a good chance that Americans will circle the moon without land in the next decade. Army missile man Wernher von Braun forsees lunar landing a few years thereafter.
 Some other predictions were enough to stagger the imagination.
 Within 40 years, said Dr. Eugene Sanger, director of the Institute of Jet Propulsion Physics at the Technical University of Stuttgart, Germany, man may be travelling at 670 million miles an hour nm almost the speed of light.
 But long before the year 2,00O, rockets will deliver mail in min utes around the earth, forecast the founder of the Italian Rocket Association, Dr.. Glauco Partel.

Air Force Fires Another Successful Atlas ICBM

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla, lR - The Air Force has fired it's pow erful Atlas ICBM on another ap- parently successful long range space flight over the Atlantic.
 The 8O-foot rocket performed rather mysteriously on the start of a beautiful launching last night, but the Defense Department an nounced in Washington some IS hours later that the Atlas flew its intended range and produced most of the results desired.
 The missile, the 18th in the na- tion's ambitious ICBM program, was aimed at an impact area some 4,5OO statute miles down range near the Island of Fernando de Norhona off the coast of Brazil.

WASHINGTON, LR Fifty top scientists peered into space today and saw a man on the moon - perhaps by 1869.
 Or man may set foot on the moon in 1865 and zoom on to Mars and Venus three years later. That is assuming space projects get very high priority and billion dollars a year, says Herbert F. York, the Pentagon's research chief.
 The views of York and other space experts, including five from other free world countries, were issued in a report by the House Space Committee on "The Next 100 Years in Space"
 The report asked, "where does fantasy end and reality begin?" In their answers to committee questionnaires the scientists were dead serious, even if they varied widely on the timing of seeming ly fantastic events. Their outside time limit on trips to the moon and beyond was generally 20 years.

Governor Egan Is Improving Steadily

SEATTLE, R - Continued i'm provement was shown today by Governor William A. Egan, but doctors said it would be another day or two at least before his name is taken off the critical list.
 Egan, who underwent an emer- gency abdominal operation eight days ago, was able to get out of bed for the first time yesterday. His doctor said the Governor would walk in his room several times today.
 Egan's pulse rate remains high, but otherwise his condition is gradually returning to normal, today's morning medical report said.

President Says US. Is Making Good Missile Progress

WASHINGTON, R - President Eisenhower said today the United States is making very remarkable progress in the ballistic missile field and has no cause for hang dog humiliation.
 The President made the state ment at a news conference in commenting on Soviet Premier Khrushchev's announcement Tues day that the Soviet Union has intercontinental ballistic missiles in production.
 Somewhat wryly, the President added that we seem very prone to give 100 per cent credence to statements by the Soviets if they happen to deal with our own de- sireS.
 On the other hand, Eisenhower went on, we dismiss other Soviet statements as baldfaced lies.
 Without ever saying whether this country has intercontinental missiles at the production stage, Eisenhower said that the U. s. missile program is going forward as rapidly as possible under the direction of capable scientists.
 The President also dealt in the news conference with these other matters:
 Politics - Commenting on cri- ticism of him at Republican con ference in Des Moines last week, Eisenhower expressed belief that most Republicans understand and support what he called his middle of the road program.
 Warren - Eisenhower said he knows of no rift between him and Chief Justice Earl Warren. With a show of irritation, he labeled as irresponsible reporting story in the New York Herald Tribune to- day saying Eisenhower and War ren have drifted from once warm friendship to coolness as a result of the school integration contro- versy
 Castro He is certain, the President said, that all of the American people hope Cuba's new government, set up by the forces of Fidel Castro, will be truly rep resentative of the Cuban people,
 The President said he did not want to indulge in any discussion of Castro's personality or the events which have occurred in Cuba.

Public Union
 Accounting Law Asked By Ike
By NORMAN WALKER

WASHINGTON, R - President Eisenhower asked Congress today to require complete public ac- counting of union fund handling and set up rules. to free labor or ganizationS of bosSiSm.
 Eisenhower's special message said his program is a complete and effective approach to curb ing bor-management abuses. He has referred to a bill by Senator John F. Kennedy O-Mass) as a halfway measure.
 The Administration recommen- dations and Kennedy's proposals are largely parallel in requiring unions to submit complete public reports of union finances to the government and requiring perio- die democratic elections and union internal procedures. The Admin istration bill is somewhat stronger in these respects.
 Eisenhower and Kennedy, part, however, on Taft-Hartley law changes. Eisenhower proposed tougher restrictions on union sec ondary boycotts against innocent third-party employers, and on picketing to compel union recogni- ton where employees demonstrate they don't want union represen- tation.
 The AFL-CIO served notice to- day it will battle to the end to prevent any. picketing and boycott provisions from being enacted. It hinted in testimony on Kennedy's bill that such proposals, coupled with anti-corruption legislation, would endanger any bill clear ing Congress.
 Labor Department sources said, meanwhile, that lack of picket boycott provisions in the labor bill considered by Congress last year was the main reason for Adminis- tration opposition. They hinted Eisenhower may veto any bill lacking such provisions this year.
 Eisenhower noted that his rec omendations were not intended to punish or cripple unions. He added
 These recommendations, when adopted, should do much to elini- nate those abuses and improper practices, which, I am firmly con- vlnced, the American public ex- poets and believes will be cor rected through legislative action" !"

For example. you pay $500
for shares which have risen in
price to $1,000, and you want
to give $1,000 to charity. If
you sell your shares for 81, 200,
that won't produce the $1,000,
for you must pay q tax on the
$500 profit. If we assume the
tax is rs per cent. the Treas
ury would take $125 and you'd
have only $875 for the charity.
But IL you give the stock
directly to the charity. 1t can
turn that into $1,000 cash at
once by selling it. The charity
pays no tax. You take the full
900 charitable deduction be-
cause that's the selling price
of the stock when you give it.
And when you do it this way,
you pay no tax on the $500
profit.

in value represents capital gains

than ordinary business income.
Merchandise. on the other
hand, when sold, results in

bracket. Eliminating this in

Ipartment Store-a corporation
in the So per cent tax bracket
contributes each year about
$4,000 in cash to various
charitable. religious. educa-
tional organizations. Because
the $4,000 is deducted from
income as a charitable contri-
button, the out-of-pocket cost
to the store is $4,000. The other
$500 would have gone to the
Treasury as taxes if the con-
tribution hadn't been made.
Now, in recognition Of the
new Treasury rules. ABC De-
parement Store switches over
from making its contributions
in cash to giving the charities
merchandise with a total nor
NAL selling price of $4,000.
Economically, the organizations
are about as well off, because
they presumably can dispose of
the merchandise for $4,000 or
use it.
But to the store, there is a
big difference. Assume that its
cost for the merchandise which
it normally sells for $4,000 is
$4,000. This means the store
still gets a $4,000 charitable
deduction which produces a
$500 tax saving just as $40, 900
cash contribution would, but

OF course, the Treasury won't
let you deduct the cost Of the
merchandise in addition to Its
value. Your accounting records
will have to eliminate the cost
Of the merchandise as an addi-
tional expense.
Stock market investors have
for a long time been getting q
somewhat similar tax break by
contributing to charity stock
or securities which appreciated
in value after they bought
them.
