Nassau Talks

Briefing Cancelled
Today on Kennedy.
Macmillan Talks
BY GARNETT d. HORNER
Star Staff Writer

NASSAU, Dec. 20.-President
Kennedy and British Prime
Minister Macmillan, taking
more time than they expected
to settle the Skybolt contro-
versy, today added an extra
day to their conference here.
White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger announced
early today that the President
and Prime Minister, who had
planned originally to wind up
their talks here this evening,
would meet in two more ses-
sions tomorrow.
Hopes for quick settlement of
the touchy Skybolt issue at
opening sessions of the confer
ence faded yesterday during
long hours of talk that went
on late into the night.
Noon Briefing Cancelled
The pattern seemed to be
repeating today as noon went
by without any announcement
and tentative plans for q joint
midday briefing of newsmer
by American and British
spokesmen were Cancelled.
There had been earlier in
dications that the two alliee
leaders hoped to announce thi,
morning an agreement that
would dispose of the Skybolt
problem within the framework
of a broad redefinition of joint
defense policy and Britain's
role as a nuclear power.
AS the day wore on, rumors
spread that the conferees still
we're having trouble reconciling
differences. The British re-
portedly continued to insist
that the United States has
a moral obligation" TO carry
on development of the Skybolt
despite the Presidents decision
that 1t was not worth the cost
for the United States own de-
tense program.

spokesmen said progress was

FISHERMAN DIES
 FROM CLAM POISONING

JUNEAU tR = A 6O-year-old fisherman from Gold Bar, Wn., died Friday aboard his fishing boat and the death apparently was caused by the effects of clam poisoning. Oley Nebro, died short ly after being taken to Hawk Inlet, southeastern Alaska can nery near Juneau. Nebro had fished in Alaska waters for many years.
 Nebro is the first to die from the effect of eating clans, but nine fishermen were hospitalized here slightly more than a week ago from a similar type of poisoning. The Alaska Department of Health and Welfare has been conducting studies of the cause of the poison ing since the initial cases were re- ported and has issued repeated warnings about the harmful effects of the poisoning.
 The poisoning causes paraly- sis, particularly about the face, and If treatment is not prompt it at- tacks the nervous system causing death.
 Nebro had eaten the clans. or mussels, and drank some nectar and became ill shortly afterwards.

IRS CENTENNIAL
 MARKS SHARP RISE IN FEDERAL TAX PER CAPITA

A sharp rise in federal per capita tax collections was registered dur ing the 100 years since the first permanent federal tax agency was created on July l, 1862, under a law signed by Abraham Lincoln, according to Commerce Clearing House.
 Comparative statistics go back only to 1866, when the new agency collected BIO million dollars at a per capita tax rate of S848. At that time the IRS had 4,461 employees.
 In the most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 1861, more than 94 billion dollars were collected at a per capita tax rate of S51O.87, the CCH report said. Today's IRS staff totals close to 59,OOO.
 During long periods of the past century taxes fell well below the 1866 figure. For example, from 1871 through 1914, the per capita tax at no time exceeded S4OO. In 1885, the low point in the entire record, the per capita tax was only S198.
 Note: The population of the United States increased from 36.- 533,o0o in 1866 to 184 100000 in 1861. The per capita tax figures used above are based on popula- tions during the respective years.

 The US. action, personally ap- proved by President Kennedy. was announced Friday by the State Department.

 In 3 note handed by Inaersec. retary of State George Bail ta.sfa- bassador Anatoly Dobrynin. the State Department informed the Soviet government of it's action and asked for reciprocal Russian step to contribute to sbette4.f49i59ts4l understanding and broaden ing of cooperation between tho peoples of the two countries. .

 One possibility could be renew al of active consideration of an agreement for direct air service between Moscow and New York. The text of such an agreement was negotiated and initiated last.4ear.

GOVERNOR CANDIDATE MARTIN ATTACKS FELLOW CANDIDATE POLLOCK

 Addressing the Ketchikan Re publican Club luncheon this noon, Martin launched the first personal attack by a candidate of either party in the current campaign.
 Martin lashed out against Pol lock while discussing the historic principles of the Republican Party.
 '.I'm sorry that.I had to talk about another candidate-I didn't mean to the Anchorage at torney said.
 He explained that among the five Republicans seeking the party nomination for governor, Pollock was the only one who was mot a Republican"
 Martin based his assertion on the fact Pollock introduced an ag- riculture marketing bill in the 1862 legislature which was similar to the agricultural socialization bills of the Roosevelt era.
 This is the only completely socialistic bill in the Alaska State Legislature introduced by either the Republicans or Democrats, ; he declared.

SEN. GRlJENiNG AGAIN URGES GOLD SUBSIDY

Sen Ernest Grucning last week reviewed for the benefit of all the senators the testimony given by Treasury Undersecretary for Money Affairs Robert Roosa when test- lying before the Minerals. Ma terials and Fuels Subcommittee of the Interior and Insullar Affairs Committee Roosa gave the Treas usy Departments view, opposing s. J. Res. Al of which Sen. Gruen- ing is a co-sponsor. The measure would provide subsidy fol newly mined domestic gold, up 10 $35 per ounce.
 Gold, like historic Gibraltar, has remained firm, but planes today flv.over Gibraltar just as 1862 prices have skyrocketed above the fixed price of gold Sen. Gruenine remarked in the Senate chamber. He said representatives of the gold mining industry have attempted to warn the Treasury Department of the alarming critical situation fac ing them, but that the department is flatly opposed to aiding the in- dustry on the ground that foreign nations would think the US. dollar was about to be evaluated.
 T suggest that it is the Treasury Department which by voieing it's fears is spreading this alarm and apprehension as it goes about in timidating those who inquire, say ing disastrous worldwide conse- quences will ensue if our gold miners are subsidized to save them and their industry from economic extinction,' the senator concluded. He has consistently urged the sub sidy legislation be enacted soon.

DENVER, Colo. R - For the first time in it's long history, the National Education Assn, is armed with weapon to enforce its de- mands for better teaching condi- tons.
 In a move plainly designed to counter the growing strength of teachers unions, the MEAS dele gate assembly roared approval Fri day of a policy of invoking sane tions to prevent 'unethieal or arbitrary policies or practices that have bad effect on the schools.
 As envisioned by top NEA of fieials. the sanctions would have the effect of blacklisting offending schools or school districts.
 There was little debate and al most no opposition to the policy when it was presented as resolu- ton.
 The question of teachers unions, their impact on the NEA, and the best means of fighting them almost completely dominated this years convention.
 The unions have been stressing in their recruiting drives that the NEA, is professional organiza- ton with no-strike policy, had no way of bringing pressure on stub- born school boards or administra- tors
 Mrs Hazel Blanchard, who took over as NEA president at the close of the Tooth annual convention Friday night,, told a news confer ence that immediate action would be taken to spell out just what the sanctions shall be, and how they shall be applied.
 In all probability, she said, they would be similar to those officially adopted la. April by the Cali fornia Teachers Assn, an NEA affiliate.
 This means throwing the full glare of publicity on the school or school district, advising teach CTS not to accept jobs there, and working with community leaders to bring about a solution to the problem.

Russians Applaud
Struvinsky Music

MOSCOW, Oct. 3 (AP). -
Igor Stravinsky, 80, got a tre-
mendous ovation for his con-
cert here last night. 1t was the
best of his Soviet visit.
The capacity audience at the
2,000-seat hall of the Moscow
Conservatory especially liked
"Petruschka," which was in
cluded on his program for the
first time.
1t was the last item on the
program and replaced OR
pheus," which was called dull
by Moscow newspaper critics in
their reviews of Stravinsky's
concerts last week.
Although the audience re-
acted very enthusiastically to
Stravinsky and the Soviet
State Symphony last night, he
declined to conduct an encore.
He took several curtain calls
and then cut off applause by
coming on stage in his over
coat.
