seen the original musical with
its appealingly tattered charm.
This, the charm, has not en-
tirely disappeared, thanks to
the two clever performances by
Shirley MacLaine and JAG k

however, in a garish at

overtaxing even their farce

This is a sad thing for those

NEW YORK The vanquished
Gene Fullmer, 81 former world
middleweight champion was so
badly beaten by Nigerian Dick
Tiger that he may retire.
Tiger kept the title in the first
championship fight held in his

Fullmer into a helpless bloody
man until Fullmer's manager
asked for the fight to be stopped
at the end of the seventh round.
There were no mockdowns but
Fullmer was cut over the nose

was marked by welts and bruises
which still showed on his return

House COPS Spell Out Where They
 Can Cut Billions
 From JFk's Budget

WASHINGTON lR - House Re- publican leaders said Thursday they are accepting President Ken nedy's challenge to spell out the places where they would cut bill lions from his $98.8 billion budget.
 Well give them bill of par ticularS when the time comes" said COP leader Charles Halleck of Indiana, "and we'll be respon- sible about it"
 Rep. Frank Bow of Ohio, head of a Republican task force on bud get cutting, said the detailed pro- posals for reduced spending are already in the hands of the Repub- lican members best placed to use them-the senior minority mem- bers of the various subcommittee considering appropriations bills.
 Kennedy, who defended what he called his hard budget at his news conference Wednesday,, also came in for some Republican criticism lOA Illo SIdlCilICllI oll CCA duction and tax revision.
 'They seem to blow hot and cold" Halleck commented.
 Rep. Thomas Curtis of Missouri, member of the Tax-Writing Ways and Means Committee, said it looks as though there are two groups in the administration tug ging the President in different di- rections.
 Statements by Kennedy, Secre- tary of the Treasury Douglas Dill lon and others have agreed that an early tax reduction is desirable and that it would be best carried out in connection with revisions to make the tax code more equit- able and restore some of the re- venue lost by cutting rates. But there has appeared to be differ ence of emphasis from time to time on the importance of re- visions and how much they could eliminate from a tax cut bill with out forfeiting Kennedy's approval of it.

ClOSedOWn of Pinballs Would Cost State
 Overall Loss of $8O,OO0

JUNEAU R - A closedown of pinball machines within Alaska would mean an overall loss of about $80,000 in gross revenues, R. D. Stevenson, acting Commissioner of the State Department of Revenue, told the Finance Committee We'd neSday.
 The loss would be shared by the state and its political subdi- visions, including cities and or ganized boroughs.
 Stevenson said that an investi- gation by the federal government which is now underway might have the effect of removing pin ball machines from the state.
 He said that the taxes on pin ball machines provide approxi- mately two-thirds of the monies realized under the states tax on coin-operated devices which aver ages out at a total of about $120,000 year.
 Approximately $4O,OOO to $45, ,OOO is refunded to political subdivisions each year under the shared tax program for coin-operated devices.

Legislators Will
 ''Sit Tight On
 Salmon Campaign

for a joint state-canned salmon industry advertising campaign de- cided to "sit tight and see what public reaction develops"
 The plan for a joint advertising effort, to boost sagging sales of Alaska canned salmon, was pro- posed to the special siX-man com mittee Monday by three repre- sentatives of the industry.
 Frank Wright, representing the Association of Pacific Fisheries, told the committee he "gets the feeling members of my association are split right down the middle on this proposal"
 The plan was submitted by Nick Beg of Peter Pan Seafoods; Haakon Friele of Nakat Packing Co.,; and A. w. Brindle of Wards Cove Packing Go.
 They proposed that the state put up $1 million and the industry $500,000 a year for an intensive advertising campaign to run at least two years.
 Henry Roloff, State Commission CT of Economic Development and Planning, told the committee the advertising campaign carried out during the past six years by the Canned Salmon Institute hasn't "been really an advertising cam paign, but more of product use promotion"
 Roloff said that in his opinion, salmon processors and distributors are faced with three major prob lems: high priced product, a limited market and a heavy in ventory.
 Avrum Gross, an assistant at torney general, suggested that any joint effort undertaken by the state and the industry might have dual purpose.
 Ut might be program which would promote the state as well as canned salmon," Gross said.
 Canned salmon is generally con- sidered to be uniquely Alaskan product and the two promotional ideas might be tied together very effectively"
 Rep. Jay Hammond suggested that before the committee took any action it get an expression from the canned salmon industry as a whole.
 Roloff said that before the com mittee moved, it should consider the possibility of providing for an impartial, analytical study of the problem"
 "You're not going to get a com mon expression from the big can- ners, the small canners, the fish ermen and the brand distributors, can tell you that" Roloff said.
 Sen. James Nolan, chairman of the committee, said the group should first address itself to the question of whether the canned industry is really in the sales trouble it says it is.
 Nolan also pointed out that if production increases more rapid ly than sales, the fishermen will not be able to make full utiliza- tion of the salmon resource, which could permit the Japanese to enter into the coastal salmon fishery under the abstention principle of the International North Pacific Fisheries Convention.
 "This abstention thing is an al- batross around our neck," Ham mond commented. Regardless ot how many fish there are and OUT troubles selling them, we're going to have to catch them"
 "Yes, even if we have to use them for fertilizer" Rep. Clem TilliOn added.
