3 Fax Measures
Pass S louse for
Second l ime
JUNEAU (J*) — Three tax meas
ures, including one boosting the
state income tax, passed the
House on the second time around
Tuesday morning after a 24-hour
delaying action by the bucking
Republican minority.
The vote came on a motion for
reconsideration by Rep. Bruce i
Kendall, minority floor leader.
The bills form the major por
tion of a five-bill package pro
posed by the Democratic majority
to provide $3.5 million surplus
funds for lean years ahead when
the federal transitional fund well
runs dry.
House Finance Committee
Chairman Frank Chapados has
predicted the state will face a $10
million deficit in fiscal 1963,
based on normal growth and the
same state services.
The income tax bill, increases
the state individual income tax
from 14 to 16 per cent of federal
income tax payments. A second
House bill, raises the tax on wine
from 50 to 60 cents a gallon and
on liquor from $3.50 to $4 a gal
lon. Both now go to the Senate
for consideration.
The third bill, boosts the state
motor vehicle fuel tax from 7 to
8 cents a gallon.
The income tax measure and the
spirits tax bill passed again Tues
day 21-19, with one Democrat,
Mark Jensen of Douglas, voting
with the 18-man Republican con
tingent. Jensen stuck with the
Democrats on the gas tax vote
which passed 22-18.
In each case, the effective date
clause on the measures failed to
muster the necessary two-thirds
vote of approval. That means they
will not go into effect until 90
days after they become law.
Spells ()ut Details
Of Military Budget
WASHINGTON Iff) — Secretary
of Defense Robert S. McNamara
said yesterday this country is re
shaping its defenses so they “can
ride out a massive ICBM attack.”
The new Pentagon Chief spell
out for the Senate Armed Serv
ices Committee details of a $43,
794,345,000 military budget as re
vised from the one former Presi
dent Eisenhower sent Congress.
“The problem of deterring an
all-out nuclear war has been
greatly complicated by the intro
duction of intercontinental bal
listic missiles into the arsenal of
our major adversary in the world
struggle,” McNamara said.
“A year or two from now our
principal concern will be a sur
prise attack by large numbers of
nuclear-armed ICBM’s.”
The Defense Secretary testified
behind closed doors but newsmen
were given copies of a prepared
statement he took to the session.
McNamara said a two-month
study of “our general war posi- j
tion” brought a decision “to re- |
duce our dependence on deter- j
rent forces which are highly
vulnerable to ballistic missile at
tack or which rely for their sur
vival on a hair-trigger response
to the first indications of such an
attack.”
Instead, he said this adminis
tration will place greater em
phasis on “the kind of forces
which could ride out a massive
nuclear attack and which could
be applied with deliberation and
always under the complete con
trol of constituted authority.”
That is why, McNamara said,
the new administration is step
ping up production of the Polaris
and Minuteman missiles, both
using solid propellants, and taper
ing off future production of Titan
liquid fueled long range missiles.
Rickenbacher Terms
Census Questionaire
Invasion of Privacy
NEW YORK UP) — A son of'
Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacher,
World War I flying hero and
board chairman of Eastern Air
lines, pleaded innocent to a
charge of refusing to answer a
1960 census special questionaire.
He contended the questionaire,
of a detailed type sent to every
fourth household, was snoopy, a
violation of privacy and uncon
stitutional.
U. S. District Judge Charles
M. Metzner released him in his
own recognizance and scheduled
May 4 for setting a trial date.
WORLD POPULATION WILL
TOP THREE-BILLION MARK
UNITED NATIONS,N. Y. MV— !
The world’s population will
pass the three-billion mark this !
year.
A U. N. survey, in making this 1
prediction, says the rate of growth j
is 45 million to 55 million a year j
and the average life span is longer i
than ever. But with the cost of
caring for the aged increasing,
the “additional years that modern
society can bestow are unhappy
ones.”

Folk Singer Sentenced to
One Year Imprisonment
For Contempt of Congress
NEW YORK UP) — Folk singer
Pete Seeger was sentenced yes
terday to one year’s imprison
ment for contempt of Congress
by refusing to answ'er questions
about his possible Communists
affiliation.

Seeger appeared before the
House Committee on un-American

questions were “improper and
immoral to be asked of any
American.”
The government had said there
was evidence Seeger had used his
talents as an entertainer to pro
mote Communist activities.
