Damascus Lions Club Is HOnOred
For ReUOIutiOn in Blood Donations

A quiet revolution in donor
recruitment for the Red Cross
Blood program, originated in
Damascus in upper Montgomery
County, has received recogni-
ton, with the award of a spe-
cial citation of appreciation to
the Damascus Lions Club, it's
Blood Bank Chairman Harold
d. Anamosa, and to the resi-
dents of the Damascus area by
the Governor of District 22-C,
Lions International.
The Damascus Plan for DON
or recruitment, although not
new in some of its basic prin-
ciples, called for making an en-
tire community "Partici-
pating Group" in the Red Cross
program so that as long as a
yearly quota of donations was
received, anyone living in the
community was automatically
entitled to Red Cross coverage
of their blood needs, without
having to seek donors to re-
place the blood received.
In effect, it was a blood in
surance program with the
premiums" being paid by those
OF the community who could
donate blood so that everyone
in the community could bene-
fit.
AS is the case with service or
CARNATIONS in many small COM
nlunities, the Damascus Lions
Club frequently received re-
quests for assistance in provid-
ing blood for needy area resi-
dents. Occasionally, these re-
quests were so heavy that the
Lions Clubs credits with the
Red Cross for its own members
were depleted.
= Deciding that if the club was
to support the community's
blood needs then the community
should help provide donors, Mr..
Anamosa obtained Red Cross
approval to establish Montgom-
cry County's 18th Election Dis
trict as a Participating Group
with the Damascus Lions Club
as the sponsoring agency.
The Club takes care of all ad.
ministrative arrangements and
publicity for Bloodmobile visits,
as well as administrative ar
rangements involved in assur-
ing that the blood needs of area
residents are met with a mini
mum of red tape.
In the late months of 1860 the
Montgomery County Chapter of
the Red Cross watched with par
ticular interest the reaction of
the Damascus community to the
proposed plan. On November 81,
a Red Cross Bloodmobile visit
climaxed over a month of inten-
sive advertising and explanation
of the benefits of the proposed

Three of Fiye-BiEI Tax Increase Plan Receive Approval from the House

JUNEAU R - The House to- day passed a bill 22-18 which would raise the state individual net income tax from IA to 16 per cent of what a person pays in federal net income taxes.
 The measure was the first of a five-bill, $36 million tax plan proposed by the House Finance Committee.
 Within minutes, another reve- nue bill which would raise the tax on wine and hard liquor was approved by the same count.
 In each case, Rep. Mark Jen- sen D-Douglas) voted with the Republican minority bloc.
 And in each case, House Mi nority Leader Bruce Kendall switched his vote to the prevail ing side so he could give notice of reconsideration.
 Kendall's reconsideration mo- tice will hold the bills in the House for another day before they can be transmitted to the Senate for action.
 Passage of the income tax measure was preceded by about a half hour debate.
 The Republicans held firm on their contention that surplus funds were not needed at this time and that tax surveys should be com pleted before taxes are increased.
 "We should go back to the people and put the problem to them, rather than increase taxes in the dying hours of this Legis- lature," said Rep. Harold Strand. berg.
 Rep. Frank Chapados, Chair man of the House Finance Com mittee, repeated his statement made when the bill first came before the House yesterday that the measures were necessary to fill an anticipated $10 million gap in fiscal 1863.
 'sWe have heard a lot of floWery speeches against tax increases" !" Chapados said, "but I haven't heard one laWmaker say what services he would want to cut. !"

Senate Okays S3.l Million Boost for
 Teachers Salaries

JUNEAU R - The State Sen ate today approved a whopping $3.1 million increase in the sal aries of teachers in state-operated schools. The vote was 15-5.
 The Senate had considered the bill Saturday and Sunday, but on each previous day it had avoid ed vote on the bill, which will mean an increase of $1 million a year in state expenditures. All seven Republican and eight of the 13 Democrats in the Senate joined in pushing the increase through the Senate.
 Voting against the bill were Sens. John McNees, Pearse Walsh, R. J. McNealy, James Nolan and w. O. Smith.
 There seemed little likelihood that the bill as amended in the Senate would receive approval from either the House or Gov. Egan.
 The Senate boosted the amount approved by the House by ap- proximately $1 million in state expenditures alone.
 The Senate had been warned by opponents of the increase Sat urday that if the bill were ap- proved as amended, it might mean that teachers would get no salary increase.
 The Senate passed the bill with only a few words Of debate. Most of the talking had been done Sat urday, when the amendment boosting the raise was adopted.

8 cents a gallon, was approved 23-17.
 It was a straight party vote, ex- cept that Kendall again changed to the prevailing side and gave notice of reconsideration for to- morrow.
 Chapados said the state indi- Vidual income tax increase would mean an annual increase of $25.64 for a single person with an in- come of $7,OO0 and an increase of $2004 for a married couple with the same income.
 Rep. William K. Boardman, however, said that at the other extreme of the proposed tax plan, a man with a net income of $1 million would be required to pay a federal income tax of $859,- $40 and an Alaska state income tax of $137, ,542.
 That would leave him with $2,818 in his pocket for a year and I don't think that's right.
 ''I think that the state income tax, as attached to the federal income tax, has reached the point of unconstitutionality"

U. N. Assembly Overrides Bitter Soviet Opposition To Dag's Spending Powers

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. tR - The U. N. General Assembly today oVerrode bitter Soviet op- position and approved a tenn porary extension of Secretary General Dag Hammarskj jold's Congo spending powers.
 The vote on the stopgap reso- lution was 51-10 with g absten- tions. The negative votes were cast by the Soviet bloc.
 Soviet delegate A. A. Roshchin challenged the legality of the as- sembly's action. He said the United Nations is carrying out the Congo operation in the interest of the colonial powers and is rushing itself into bankruptcy by actions which violate the U. N. Charter.
 From top to bottom" Roshchin said, "the operation has been guided by the colonial powers"

Prosecutor Asks Death Penalty for Dr. Finch And Carol TregOff

LOS ANGELES R-A prosecutor today urged a grim-faced jury to send Dr. R. Bernard Finch and Carole Tregoff to the gas cham Der for the staying of Finch's attractive wife.
 The defendants sat glum, star ing at their hands, as Joe Powers, deputy district attorney, opened the climatic day of three trials.
 A crowd of more than 300, like the ones that marked their sen sational first trial, gathered for the jury's decision of the couples punishment: Death or life impri Sonment.
 Maxwell Keith, Finch's attorney, told jurors that if they had the shadow of doubt, they should not impose the death penalty, be- cause:
 "Once Dr. Finch is dead, noth- ing can help him."

Report Possible Largest Polar Bear On Record

PORTLAND tR - A polar bear bigger than an Alaska brown bear - perhaps the largest bear ever killed. That's what Arthur R. Dubs, 31, Medford, Ore, brought home with him from Alaska
 Dubs says the unstretched hide measures II feet, inches from nose to tail.
 Preliminary measurements of the skull, on which bear records are based, indicate it is larger than any previous bear killed. The largest Alaska brown bear meas ured nine feet from nose to tail, Dubs said.
 Dubs is submitting the matter to the Boone and Crockett Club as a possible record.
 The bear was killed in the Boring Strait between Alaska and Siberia March 3. The hide is now being mounted by Seattle taxidermist, where the preli- minary skull measurements were taken.
 Dubs said he almost missed his chance at the bear. The bear was sighted from the air, but it then was inside the Russian line be- tween Big and Little Diomede Islands and Dubs and guide Tommy Thompson of Anchorage could not risk landing there.
 But the bear turned, swan a stretch of open water and crawl ed onto ice inside the American line. Thompson landed the light plane on an ice floe and Dubs brought down the bear with a 300 magnum rifle.

Egan VetOes His First Bill of 1861 Legislature

JUNEAU LR Gov. Egan vetoed his first bill of the 1861 legislative session late Saturday.
 Egan said the measure was apparently intended to provide for a materials lien on a new structure or on the land itself for materials furnished in the re- moval, demolition or destruction of an old structure on the same location.
 "The language of the bill is such, however, that while pro- viding liens for activities of re- moVal, demolition or destruction it seems to indicate that such liens attach to the very object destroyed"
 Egan said he had discussed the bill with the author, Rep. Will liam H. Sanders and that Sanders had agreed the present language would not serve the intended pur- pose, "and that, accordingly, the Legislature should have an op- portunity to revise the bills language"

Cuban CunbOat intercepts
 U. s. Cable Ship

GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba LR U. s. Naval authorities said today the American cable ship Western Union was intercepted by Cuban gunboat and then freed after U. s. jet planes and destroyer went to her assistance.
 A Naval spokesman said the cable ship was stopped in inter- national waters Saturday, about miles off the Cuban port of Baracona on the northeastern part of the island.
 The U. s. destroyer, the John w. Weeks, did not enter Cuban waters and the planes did not fly over them, the spokesman said.
 The captain of the Western Union radioed Guantanamo, said she had been intercepted by an armed Cuban gunboat, the spokes- man said.
 Loaded with gasoline and with a maximum speed of only few knots, the Western Unions skip per had no alternative but to obey an order backed by arms" he add ed.
 Jet planes flew out and located the Western Union midway be- tween the point of interception and Baracona. There the cable ship halted. Four hours later, when the destroyer arrived at emergency speed the cable ship was released by the gunboat and steamed back on course toward Key West.
