Compromise Bill
Removes Travel
Tax U.S.-Alaska
WASHINGTON, UP>—S enate
House conferees Saturday worked
out a compromise version of a bill
removing the 10 percent travel
tax on trips from the U.S. border
to Alaska, the Caribbean, Ber
muda, Latin American and Ha
waii.
The action of the conferees in
creases chances for final passage
of the bill, long stalled by admin
istration objections that it would
cost too much. The prospective
revenue loss is estimated at about
$17 million a year.
The conferees wrote into the
bill a limitation adopted by the
Senate which would retain the
tax on trips into Mexico or Can
ada of less than 225 miles from
the U.S. border.
This, in effect, would keep the
tax on most trips into Canada,
but will regnove it on trips to
Mexico City, for instance, which
is well beyond the 225-mile zone.
The provision was put in to
prevent, as an example, purchase
of a New York to Tijuana ticket
by a Los Angeles bound traveler
who would get off at the Califor
nia city and save money because
of the tax exemption.
The removal of the tax on trips
to Alaska, the Caribbean, Latin
America and Hawaii will apply
only from the last stop in the
United States. Thus a traveler
going by air to Jamaica from New
York through Miami would pay
the tax on the New York-Miami
leg of the flight.
Uganda Lions Kill 42
KAMPALA, Uganda, UP>—Lions
have killed 42 persons in Uganda
this year, the Game Department
announced Saturday.
Two African horsemen were
the latest victims. Game guards
are hunting their killers.
George Gershwin never played
a piano concerto until he wrote
one.
Marilyn Monroe Sits, Crosses Legs,
Nearly Causes a Panic in Britain
State Dept. Rejects
Proposal for Puget Sound
Branch Passport Office
WASHINGTON, UPt—Rep. Tol
lefson iR-Wash) Saturday dis
closed the State Department has
rejected his suggestion for a
branch passport office in the
Puget Sound area. He asked for
an explanation.
The congressman recently com
plained that several of his con
stituents had to cancel planned
trips because of slowness by the
division in replying to passport
requests. He was joined by Dele
gate Bartlett in the suggestion.
In a reply made public by Tol
efson Saturday, Scott McLeod,
head of the State Dept.’s Bureau
of Security and Consular Affairs,
conceded that “due to the volum
inous increase in "travel and many
unforeseen services expected of
the Passport Office, the efforts
i have not always met with suc
cess.”
Expressing belief the Pacific
Northwest sow is “adequately
served by the local clerks of
court,” McLeod said he didn’t be
lieve a passport agency in the
Puget Sount area was warranted.
Tollefson disagreed with this
conclusion, asked to know the
number of passports issued re
cently and how long it was be
tween application and issuance.
Woman- Fails in Attempt
To Swim Juan de Fuca
By Just IV2 Miles
PORT ANGELES UP—A plucky
32-year-old housewife was pulled
partly paralyzed and incoherent
from the frigid Strait of Juan de
Fuca late Friday—just 1 Vi miles
short of becoming the first wom
an to conquer the treacherous 18
mile channel.
Mrs. Amy* Hiland, of. Long
Beach, Calif., was resting in a
hospital here today from the com
plete exhaustion that left her
splashing aimlessly within sight
of the Canadian shore.
She had been in the 47-degree
water for 12 hours and 16 min
utes—the longest time spent in
the tide-churned strait by any of
its many challengers.

9 LONDON, W—Marilyn Monroe
crossed her shapely legs for the
first ‘ time in Britain Saturday—
and started a mild panic.
It happened at a news confer
ence in a large shed at London
Airport 45 minutes after the Am
erican film star arrived to make
a movie with Sir Laurence Oliv
ier. About 100 reporters, photog
raphers and television men were
on hand.
“Please sit down,” said Olivier,
with his wife, actress Vivien
Leigh, at his elbow.
Miss Monroe sat.
Then she gave a gentle tug at
her tight fitting skirt, revealing a
goodly part of her shapely left leg.
That started it.
One photographer crashed into
a newsreel camera, knocking it
to the floor.
Another lensman lurched for
ward and fell on his face.
A wall of photographers then
plunged toward Miss Monroe like
the forward line of a football
team. Police stopped them.
The news conference began.
"Are all your conferences like
this?” asked a reporter.
“Oh no,” said Miss Monroe,
“this is very orderly.”
is very orderly.”
“We cant hear a word,” echoed
a chorus of complaints from other
correspondents unable to fight
their way to the front.
“I’d better take charge,” spoke
up Olivier in his well known
Shakespearean voice. “You ask
the questions and I’ll repeat her
answers.”
Another cameraman was then
thrown to the floor. He screamed
as someone trampled on his hand
and* halted Sir Laurence for a
moment.
By this time the photographers,
scrambling for positions, had
wedged Miss Monroe, her play
wright husband, Arthur Miller,
and the Oliviers into a corner.
Beads of perspiration appeared
on Miss Monroe’s face.
Then Miss Monroe, her hus
band and the Oliviers barricaded
themselves behind a soft-drink
stand and from that point the
conference concluded.
In reply to questions, Miss Mon
roe said she had a pleasant trip,
England is a wonderful country,
she expects to be here 14 weeks
and will live in the country.
