Rep. Reed Favors
Higher Social
Security Tax
WASHINGTON, (A»—Rep. Daniel
A. Reed (R-NY) said after a White
House conference Saturday that
he still favors allowing increased
social security taxes to go into
effect in January, despite admin
istration recommendations to the
contrary.
He did not say what the present
White House attitude is.
Reed, Rep. Carl T. Curtis
(R-Neb> and Secretary of the
Treasury Humphrey reviewed the
whole social security program
with President Eisenhower at a
one-hour conference.
Rep. Reed is chairman of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee and Rep. Curtis heads a sub
committee studying the social se
curity program.
The committee last spring divi
ded on the question of allowing
January from to 2% each on
the social security tax to rise in
employers and employes and from
2 V4 to 3% on self-employed.
Reed and Curtis then were op
posed to freezing the \ Vz°ic rate as
Eisenhower had recommended and
they told newsmen Saturday their
position has not changed.
Reed told newsmen that “one
reason I want the tax to go up is
I don’t want our party to be
charged with depleting the re
serve fund which is for the pro
tection of the people under social
security.”
New Yorkers Breathe
Smaze And Smog,
Airports At Standstill
NEW YORK, UP) — Sunshine
trickled down onto the metropoli
tan area Saturday, trying hard to
burn off a five-day curtain of
smaze and smog.
The smog—fog added to smoke
— was a new development in
the eastern seaboard's unseasonal
warm weather. For four days it
was just smaze—smoke and haze
—but Friday night fog crept into
the picture.
The effect was the same: visi
bility almost nil in many places
and a damp, stifling feeling on
respiratory organs.
Busy Idlewild and La Guardia
Airports were at a standstill all
night and through the morning
hours.

Battle For First
Place Shapes Up In
Tonight’s Games
By HERB WILLIAMS
The Nome Nanooks climbed to
within half a game of first place
last Friday when they up-ended
the Detachment 23rd 30-22 in a
10- w scoring affair. Lomen Com
mercials trounced the Air Force
Five 51-30 in the opening game.
The Nanook-Detachment game
was one of the slowest tilts of the
season as neither team could
make good the number of shots
they attempted. The high school
jumped to a quick 5-0 lead and it
stood that way throughout most
of the first quarter before the
Detachment managed to hit for a
free toss in the last minute of the
quarter. The quarter ended 5-3 in
Nome’s favor.
The lead changed hands sev
eral times in the second period
but the Nanooks were on top
11- 10 at the half and at the three
quarter mark it was in their
favor 17-16. Finally in the closing
period the Nanooks opened up a
safe lead that made it possible for
•the remaining substitutes to enter
the game.
Buzzy Swanberg again paced
the high school with 14, Bob Her
man 7, Dave Bell 4, George Kost
3, and Sam Mogg 2. For the De
tachment, Mosson 6, Couper 5,
Weaver and Ellis 4 each, Ruth 2
and Lohn 1.
Lomens had little trouble as
they rolled over the Air Force
Five 51-30. The winners were
never behind and kept pouring
the pressure to the opponents.
Quarters scores were 9-6, 26-11,
38-19, and the final 51-30.
Jack Unw’in paced the scoring
for Lomens with 14, Herb Wil
liams 13, Vince Ahkolik and John
Schellenbach 11 each and Killer
Kangas 2. For the losers, Beals 12,
Chancui and Goodgame 5 each,
Hamilton and O’Brien 4 each.
Tuesdaj’’s schedule promises to
be a very interesting program as
•the high school draws a bye and
aren’t scheduled to play. In the
first game at 7, the Air Force
Five tangle with their arch-rivals
the Detachment 23rd. At 8:15, a
battle for first place shapes up
when Lomens challenge the lea
gue leading Nome Merchants. If
the Commercials can down the
Merchants a three-way tie for
first place will find the three
town teams fighting it out for
the lead.
French And Vietnamese
Paratroopers Jump Deep
Into Communist Territory
HANOI, Indochina, UP)— Thou
sands of French and Vietnamese
paratroopers have jumped deep
into mountain territory of the
Communist-led Vietminh to grab
a major base for new raids on
their guerrilla foes.
The French High Command an
nounced their forces, supported by
U.S.-supplied fighter bombers, on
Friday seized the big rebel war
base of Dien Bien Phu, 180 miles

Velde Blasts Truman For
Backtracking, Preventing
Prosecution Of Spies
ROCKFORD, 111., (ffi— Former
President Truman, says Rep.
Velde (R-Ill), “has a long history
of disrespect for congressional
committees.” He accused Truman
of “hiding, backtracking and pre
venting prosecution of spies and
subversives.”
Velde, chairman of the House
Un-American Activities Commit
tee, defended his action of sub
poenaing Truman in the Harry
Dexter White controversy in a
speech here last night. He said the
subpoena is “still in full force and
effect,” but the committee will
not take up the White case until
after Jan. 1.
Football Win Nets School
$2,225,000 From Pleased
Oilman Benefactor
HOUSTON, Texas (#>—A school
whose chief benefactor apologetic

lars, not 210 million, had $2,225,
000 from him today for a football
victory.
The school is burgeoning Univer
sity of Houston and the oilman
philanthropist with football fever

Saturday’s game with Texas Tech.
“The gre^t spirit and determi
nation shown by the Cougars last
Saturday in defeating Baylor fills
me with enthusiasm and prompts
me to do something for our great
university,” Cullen said. Nobody
doubted his enthusiasm when he
said a few minutes later:
“I have decided to give the uni
versity $2,225,000 in oil payments.”

Airlines Protest
Gov’t Competition
In Alaska Flying
ANCHORAGE, UPl—Commercial
airlines operating within Alaska
protested Friday what they called
“government competition” in this
field.
The protests were incorporated
in two letters sent, out by Ray
Petersen, president of the Alaska
Air Transport Association. They
went to Robert B. Murray Jr.,
undersecretary of transportation
in the Department of Commerce,
and Secretary of the Interior
Douglas McKay.
The letters suggested that if
flying services now performed by
government agencies were turned
over to commercial operators, the
trend toward increasing mail sub
sidies might be reversed.
They asserted that government
maintenance of its airplanes could
be more cheaply done by “special
ists in the transportation field,”
presumably the private lines.
Members of the association in
clude: Wien Alaska Airlines; Al
aska Coastal Airlines; Cordova
Airlines; Reeve Aleutian Airways;
and Northern Consolidated Air
lines.
