S3.2 Million Bid for AstrOnaut's Personal Space Stories Withdrawn

CHICAGO R - Withdrawal ot a $3.2 million contract bid to the nations 16 astronauts for personal stories of their space flights has been announced by Field Enter prises Educational Corp.
 Corporation President Bailey K. Howard, in statement Monday, said the publishing firm hadn't been able to obtain a meeting of minds" with the National Aero nautics and Space Administration
 Following our most recent con- versations with officials of NASA," :" Howard said, i've have reached the conclusion that further nego- tiations would be futile.'
 The space administration, while not party to the contract, had assumed responsibility for passing on it's provisions. The proposal, announced last January, drew inn mediate congressional and press criticism.
 Involved were 16 astronauts, in- cluding the original seven. The contract would have been for flights in the two-man Gemini cap- sule, slated for next year, and in the Apollo capsule designed to carry the threeman expedition to the moon.
 Field Enterprises Educational Corp, which publishes the World Book Encyclopedia, had offered to establish a non-profit company which would have paid the astro- nauts $32 million over a 1O-year period or until the first moon land ing.
 Book, magazine, newspaper, tele- vision, radio and motion picture rights for both project Gemini and project Apollo would have been covered in the proposed con- tract.

Salmon Derby to be Held In Juneau July 26-27-28

JUNEAU LR - An estimated l,2001 500 salt water fishing buffs are expected to converge on Ju- neau July 26-27-28 for the 1863 edition of the Golden North Salmon Derby.
 Based on the average weight of the winning fish during the first 16 years of Alaska's No. 1 angling contest, the winner this year should hit the scales, dressed, at about 4412 pounds.
 The biggest fish ever entered in the derby since it started in 1947 was the 59 pound 3 ounce King boated by Henry Tacholsky of Jul neau in 1857.
 While last years winner, a 29 pound 2 ounce fish entered by Bill Overstreet of Juneau, was a relatively lightweight entry, early season indications are that 1863 could be the year of the big fish.
 Sports fishermen have been catching Kings ln the 30 to 40 pound class since early spring, topped by 53 pound lunker land ed by Irv Hagerup of Auke Bay on June IS.
 Prizes for the top fish entered in the derby, sponsored by the Territorial Sportsmen, Inc, of Ju- neau, range from autos down to S5 merchandise prizes, with total of more than $20,000.
 Proceeds from the derby are used for improving outdoor sports fa- cilities in the Juneau area and for a scholarship fund for local young Sters.
 The derby committee has asked out of-towners planning to take part to make boat and housing reservations as early as possible.

18-Year-Old Youth Faces Death for Murder

RENO, Nev. R = Thomas Lee Bean faced death in the Nevada gas chamber after being convicted of first degree murder Monday in the April , dismemberment-sl -slay- ing of Sonia McCaskie, 24, former Olympic skier.
 The 18year-old high school youth, described at his trial as a rejected, unloved boy, stared at the jury foreman, Joseph Dettling, as the death penalty recommenda- tion was read.
 Dist. Judge Grant Bowen set July 15 for sentencing Dist. Atty. Vim. Raggio said the judge must follow the jury's recommendation
 Defense attorney Harry Ander- son said he probably will appeal, depending on whether Bean wants q chance to escape the gas cham Der. He said the boy, son of an ltinerant salesman, had made a second attempt on his life in Wa shoe County jail last Tuesday. The first try, a wrist-cutting episode in May, was disclosed by a sheriff's deputy on the witness stand dur ing the trial which began June 24.
 The attorney never refuted Beans admission that he strangled Miss McCaskie, a native of Elgin, Scotland, raped her and then dis membered her body.

LESSONS IN RELIGION

Jesus said the truth will make men free. Pilate before delivering him to his fate on the cross asked Jesus the philosophical question What Is Truth?" No answer was given as Jesus did not involve himself in the theological or phil oSophical exercises current in that day. He gave the truth and it was the peoples responsibility to re- cognize 1t and accept his teachings. They chose instead to accept his feeding of the multitudes with loaves and fishes and the curing of the sick while following the lead CTS of religion and the hereditary forms of worship current amongst them. When the leaders of reli- zion, the chief priests, asked their Roman masters to carry out the death penalty because they labeled him a false prophet the people went along with their decision.
 True religion, we have found out, is knowledge of God revealed to us through the divine prophets. Abraham freed the people from the error of Worshipping idols which were man-made creations. Moses freed the people from the tyranny of the Egyptian masters and instituted laws which govern ed the Well-being of the society of that time. The ten commandments are found in the civil law of al most every country in the world today. Every reasonable person will admit that they are for our own benefit. Jesus, through the Christ spirit, the word of God, showed us how to free ourselves from the prison of our own lower nature and attain salvation in this world and the world to come by following that word of God.
 Baha' U Llah has taught that the only glory of mankind is the freedom from the tyranny of the forces of nature which We have successfully achieved through the application of science to control our environment, freedom from the tyranny of other men who seek to impose their will upon the individual, and freedom from the tyranny of our own lower na- ture which debases the noble na- ture God has endowed each of us with.

Tightening up before the SEC
completed its l7-month probe
of the securities markets. but
there's no question but that
the SECS report this year has
accelerated the trend.
For instance, just in the last
several months, the New York
Stock Exchange has severely
stiffened its rules governing
advertising and the giving Of
stock market advice by its
member firms. The Financial
Analysts Federation has devel-
oped its own pioneering exams

perfect but never has self
policing been on this scale.
Self Discipline Planned
Now comes the PRSA with
its generalization program and
pledge Of an unprecedented de-
gree Of self-discipline.
The need Is undeniable, for
as Mrs. Griswold emphasizes.
Public relations has in a short
time grown to the point where
it crosses the entire fabric Of
our society. Its practitioners
speak to the public in every

ment to religion, from business

be written and obeyed."
Yet, up to now policing has
been soft and fuzzy.
AS the SECS report UNDER
lined, under the guise Of pub
lie relations" smart money
men have been deliberately
spreading misinformation
about their corporation clients,
blatantly touting company
stocks, unethically using inside
information to play the stock

Rise Expected

PrOfit-Shariinq
By CHARLES C. CAIN
Associated Press Staff Writer

Observation-Disclosures Mo-
tors uniuqe profit sharing plan
will make its second annual
payoff tomorrow and results
will be closely watched by other
auto firms and union leaders.
Some $4,000 hourly rated
and salaried workers will share
in the payoff. based on AMOS
annual financial report which
will be made by the board Of
directors tomorrow.
Since AMC had an usually
good year-as did Ford, Chrys-
Ter and General Motors-it is
expecte d the payoff will be
even bigger than that Of No
vember, 1862.
That one-the first under a
three-year contract negotiated
by the United Auto Workers
with AMC in 1961-Saw pro-
duction workers get $9.7 mil
lion in benefits. Non-Non-
union lower and middle bracket
salaried workers shared about
$2.6 million.
Under the complicated for
mula, one-third of the $9.7 mil
lion was payable in stock which
was put into a so-called pro-
greSs sharing fund. The re-
naming two thirds was used to
finance improved employee be-
nefitS, such as a better pension
plan and a m dical-hospital
plan to which the employe had
to contribute less because Of
the windfall from progress
sharing.
The verage AMC production
worker got 7.3 shares Of stock,
which at that time was worth
about $3.50 a share. He got a
certificate attesting to his ow-
nerShip. but the stock shares
and dividends therefrom were
held by a Detroit bank which
administers the fund.
Since AMC stock is now SELL
ing at about $21 and its earn
ings are expected to show an
improvement over last year,
the expectations was that the
directors report will mean the
workers will get fewer shares
this time but that they will be
worth more overall.
Under the progress sharing
plan, AMC deducts 10 per cent
Of the company'snnet worth
from its before-taxes profits;
this 10 per cent goest to
stockholders. The next is per
cent of the before taxes profits
goes into the profit sharin &
fund-l0 per cent in cash and
5 per cent in stock.
While there aremany views
as to the success Of the AMC
progress sharing plan, few
doubt that 1t will be a big issue
at the bargaining table next
summer when the JAW and
the auto companies, including
AMC, sit down to draw up new
three-year contracts.

Possible Courses

So, Treasury analysts have
started to ask each other how
to cut withholding when the
time does come to do that.
They might:
Call a complete moratorium
on withholding for a short pc
Rod. Thus, for a period Of
weeks. no tax would be taken
out Of workers pay.
Promptly reduce the with
holding rate all the way to $14,
instead Of just to the first step
level of SIS. That would be q
bigger bonus to taxpayers than
it seems, since every 81 cut in
weekly withholding rates means
a difference in total wages Of
between $40 million and $45
million per week.
Do nothing, and let taxpay-
ers wait until they file their
tax returns, early in 1865, and
become entitled to big refunds.
That alternative, however, is
not very likely, Treasury men
since 1t would post
pone all the economic benefit
Of a cut in individuals taxes.
So far, the Treasury has not
settled on a choice. Because of
,he complexities of accounting
and timing. they probably
wouldn't pick an alternative I'M
til the latest possible time-that
Is, Just before the bill goes onto
the Senate floor.
But "our automatic data
processing people are doing
studies now, and sending us
memoS." a Treasury official
notes. And we are all giving
it a lot Of thought. The analy-
sis will be kept secret, so as not
to give Congress the idea that
the White House is ready to
give up all chance of a tax
change this year.
