Council Votes Out 10 Mile Limit
 rom Sales Tax

Two sections of the sales tax ordinance were deleted by the City Council at it's meeting Thurs day. The sections referred specifical- ly to the ten mill limit clause in the ordinance.
 Sec. 1, para. a,4, which states that sales made to a customer for a distance greater than 10 miles from Kodiak shall not be taxed. The other clause, Sec. 2, para. a, 5, deals with subscriptions to newspapers.
 By deletion of the first section, the ordinance does not define a fixed boundary; sales made out side the limits of the City are not subject to the tax. Opinion was expressed that defining the boun- daries, which is difficult to do, in no way assists in solving this knotty problem. Wilton White, who was present at the meeting, stated imposing the tax in these instances worked a hardship on the merchants, who in many cases had to absorb the tax in order to make the sale.
 The second section was in- operative as there is no tax on out of town subscriptions.

For 5 'Hooky' Players

Five students from st. Johns
College ran away from home
yesterday-headed for Mont

nit to their parents they had
skipped school Tuesday.
They didn't get very far,
however. They stopped in

to visit relatives of one of the
youngsters and agreed to re-
turn here and face the music
for their actions.
So far as the school is con-
cerned, the music will consist
of making up the three days
of classes they have now
missed, according to Brother
George, F. S. c., the vice prin-
cipal. They will do the make
up work after regular school
hours.
The youngsters were among
a group of 81 students who cut
classes Tuesday, Brother

explained what happened:

School officials found out
what happened Wednesday,
when the "a youngsters failed
to produce written excuses
from their parents explaining
their absences.
All the youngsters were told
to go home and tell their
parents what they had done.

their cadet uniforms. preferred
to get into car and head
south.
Brother George said today
that all "a truants must make
up the time they missed The
fact that only "a out of 975
youngsters played hooky is
quite a good average" he said.

Judge Dismisses
Beck Indictment
In "a Loan Case

NEW YORK, Feb. 18 (AP) i.
"A Federal judge today dis
missed an indictment against
Dave Beck. retired president
of the Teamsters Union, two
trucking company officials and.
three corporations. They had
been charged with violations
of the Taft-Hartley Act.
The dismissal by Judge Sid
ney Sugarman caught Govern
ment attorneys by surprise.
The judge pointed out the de-
cision can be appealed to the
Supreme Court in 80 days.
Beck and the others had been
indicted last June. The Gov
ernment contended that a 1859
amendment to the Taft-Hart-
ley Act prohibited loans be-
tween a union official and an
employer.
Beck was accused of receiv-
ing a 100000 loan from the
other defendants in 1854. But
defense attorneys said that
when the loan was made, the
1859 Taft-Hartley amendment
was not in force and therefore
not applicable. Judge Sugar
man agreed that the loan did
not constitute a crime.
Named in the Indictment be-
side Beck we're Burge Seymour,

port, Inc. of New York City;

Pdyo|a Probe
Gets 200 Names
In Quiet Inquiry
BY ROBERT Z. CLARK
Star Stan Writer

Piqued by criticism of its
failure to move earlier against
deceptive radio-TV practices,
the Federal Trade Commission
is now threatening to steal the
thunder of congressional pay
ola investigators.
The FTC has been quietly
proceeding with its own payola
inquiry. It's investigation to
date has turned up the names
of some 200 disc jockeys who
have received payola, it was
learned on reliable authority.
More than $50 of these names
have been turned over to the
Federal Communications Com
mission. which has made its
own survey of payola in a ques-
tionnaire to more than 5000
radio and televiSion stations.
FEC Checking Licenses
The crusader spirit that has
swept the FTC is still not evil
dent at its sister agency, which
has licensing authority over all
broadcasting stations. But the
FEC is now checking all license
applications, including renewals
and other routine changes,
against the payola information
supplied by the FTC and its
own questionnaire.
The highly touted payola
hearings by the House Legisla-
tive Oversight Committee have
produced little in the way of
evidence of disc jockey payoffs

A NEW TOUCH FOR THE OLD GUARD
Garrett Out of Race
For Republican Post
BY CHARLES ID. PIERCE
Star stan Writer

A surprise decision today by
Clyde D. Garrett, District
Republican national committee
man, not to run for reelection
may lead to reshuffling of
some of the top posts in the
party here.
1t also raises a slight posi-
bility that there may be some
competition for this Office at
the May 3 primary election. So
far there has been no indica-
ton that there will be contests
for any of the party posts in
the Republican primary.
Mr.. Garrett. who has been
G. o. P. committeeman since
1948, said in a letter to Gra-
hame Smallwood, chairman of
the Republican organization
nominating committee, that he
would prefer that his name not
be considered.
Asked why he is bowling out
of the national committeeman
post, Mr.. Garrett replied:
Its time someone else did
it,"
While there had been reports
some time ago that Mr.. Gar
Irett might consider retiring, in
recent months Republican lead
ers had predicted that he would
seek another term.
-Four years ago Mr.. Garrett
won reelection by defeating
George P. Lamb, an attorney
Mr.. Lamb said recently that he
did not intend to run for ma
tional committeeman again.
However, he was not imme-
diately available for comment
to determine whether he might
change his mind because of Mr.
CARROTS decision.
Carl L. Shipley, chairman of
the Republican State Commit
tee. said it will be up to the
nominating committee to rec
ommend someone to succeed
Mr.. Garrett.

In the first stage of his new

Second Stage Proposals
For the second stage the
Secretary proposed creation of
a body of international law
preventing aggression. 1t would
be backed by a world court and
an international armed force.
In this phase national armed
forces would be reduced Ito the
point where no single nation or
group of nations could effec-
lively oppose this enforcement
of international law by inter-
national machinery"
The Secretary'S emphasis on
international enforcement con-
trasted with Soviet Premier
