Business Man Testifies
Excess Profits Tax Has
Confiscatory Rates
WASHINGTON, UP) — Elisha
Gray, a St. Joseph, Mich., busi
ness man, testified Tuesday that
the best insurance against a re
cession and unemployment would
be to let the excess profits tax die
June 30 as scheduled.
Gray, president of the Whirl
pool Corporation, was the leadoff
business witness before the House
Ways and Means Committee
against President Eisenhower’s
request to extend the levy for six
months. His company manufac
tures home laundry equipment.
In a statement that was praised
by several Republican and Dem
ocratic committee members, Gray
said the tax is in effect a penalty
against growth. It imposes almost
confiscatory rates, he said, against
young, small, new and growing
business — “the one small seg
ment of American business that
embodies the best promise for our
future prosperity.”

FIRE AT ACS SITE
Tuesday morning the Nome
Fire Department was called ‘to the
ACS transmitter site at the end of
Steadman Avenue.
The fire was caused by a short
circuit in the wiring between the
walls and which apparently had
smoldered for several hours, it is
reported. The fire was quickly ex
tinguished by tearing out some of
the wall boards.
An acre was first defined as
the amount of land a yoke of oxen
could plow in a day.
