Nixon May Forego
Another Bid for
The Presidency
WICKENBURG, *Ariz. UP) — A
source close to Vice President
Riohard M. Nixon believes Nixon
may forego another bid for the
Republican Presidential nomina
tion.
Robert Finch, codirector of
Nixon’s unsuccessful 1960 cam
paign, said in an interview yes
terday:
“There is a definite possibility
that by 1964 he may feel he can
best serve the party in a capacity
other than as a candidate for the
Presidency.”
Finch, who is vacationing in
Wickenburg with his family, has
been an administrative assistant
for Nixon since 1958.

Another Revision On
School Tax Collection
JUNEAU (if)—Another revision
will be made in proposed school
tax collection procedures, State
Revenue Commissioner Peter Gatz
said today.
The new revision will eliminate
a requirement in a prior change
that employers withhold the $10
annual tax from each employe
even though the employe had paid
the tax through payroll deduc
tions by another employer.
Credit for any overpayment
would be taken at the time the
employe filed his annual state in
come tax return .
The new revision, to be an
nounced later, will take into con
sideration those employes who
work for more than one employer
during the course of a year.
Gatz said the new revision re
lieving individual employes from
multiple school tax withholdings
would be mailed to employers by
the end of January.

Data Recovered
From Fatal
Air Crash
NEW YORK UP — Data from
a fire-blackened flight recorder
showed that a United Air Lines
jet plane was traveling at some
302 knots at the time it collided
with a Trans World Airlines
Super Constellation here Dec. 6.
The collision killed 134 per
sons.
The flight recorder was re
covered from the wreck of the
UAL plane which fell in Brook
lyn.
The report submitted said the
plane was traveling at approxi
mately 302 knots (347 miles an
hour) true air speed after the
plane passed over Allentown, Pa.,
on its flight here.
Earlier Glenn Allred, UAL
flight training manager at Den
ver, said that the recommended
speeds for jets entering holding
patterns was not to exceed 250
knots above 1,500 feet and not to
exceed 180 knots below 1,500
feet.
The recorder indicated the alti
tude of the plane at the time of
collision was at 5,175 to 5,250
feet.
Shortly before the collision, the
UAL jet had radioed that it was
approaching Preston holding pat
(tern in New Jersey. Later infor
mation has indicated, however,
that it must have been several
miles beyond the holding pattern
at the time of the collision.
Holding patterns are areas
over which planes circle at set
altitudes until they are ordered
to land.
