Alaskan Price Data
Submitted To Military
Officials by Stepovieh
WASHINGTON, UP! — Alaska
Gov. Mike StepOvich says he be
lieves Alaska is on the right
track in its efforts to get the
military to buy more supplies in
the territory.
'He made the statement Wed
nesday after conferring with
Frank Higgins, assistant secretary
of Army for logistics.
Stepovieh said Higgins indicated
he was impressed with data
gathered by Alaskans to show
they can meet statewide prices
on many items.
He said the Army official plans
to go to Alaska late in June to
discuss the situation further "with
military officialdom there.
The Alaska governor, who
came to Washington in anticipa
tion that the House would be
considering statehood legislation,
said he plans to leave Saturday
for Miami and the forthcoming
Governor’s Conference there.
He will return next Wednes
day, he said, to be on hand
when the Alaska measure is
taken up. Between now and
Saturday, he said, he plans to
meet with as many members of
the House as possible, including
some opposed to statehood, in
hopes of obtaining their support
for the bill..
Zsa Zsa Gabor Threatens
To Sue Representative For
His Slanderous Remarks
WASHINGTON, UP) — Zsa Zsa
Gabor says she’ll sue Rep. Wayne
Hays (D-Ohio) for slander if he
repeats outside of Congress his
remark .that she “apparently is
the most expensive courtesan
since Madame de Pompadour.”
The Marquese de Pompadour
was mistress to King Louis XV
of France.
Hays made the remark Wed
nesday during House debate on
the foreign aid bill. He was re
ferring to expensive gifts given
to Miss Gabor by Lt. Gen. Rafael
Trujillo Jr., son of the Domini
can Republic’s strong man.
Speaking through a public re
lations firm, Miss Gabor a few
hours later challenged Hays “to
come out from behind the Con
gressional wall of immunity and
repeat his statement about me.”
There was no immediate com
ment from Hays.

Cut In Excise Tax
Favored By Four
Key Senators
WASHINGTON, UFi — Senth
ment appeared to be solidifying
in Congress against any general
tax reduction and in favor of
cuts in some excise levies.
Four key Senators said in sep
' arate interviews they believe ex
cise reductions would give a
greater stimulus to the economy
than action to lower income taxes.
Sen. Robert S. Kerr (D-Okla),
a member of the Senate Finance
Committe, said he will support
(action to revise the 10 per cent
I levy on automobiles, the 3 per
‘ cent tax on freight and the 10
per cent charge on passenger
transportation.
Kerr predicted corporation
taxes will be held at 52 per cent
and that individual income lev
ies will remain unchanged.
Corporation income tax rates
and some excise levies are due
to drop June 30 unless Congress
extends them at present rates.
Sen. Irving M. Ives OR-NY)
discounted chances of a general
tax cut this year.
“Any reductions we might
make ought to be in specialized
fields that will provide a direct
stimulus to business, such as the
auto and freight taxes,” he said.
“I don’t think an income tax
cut would help much toward in
creasing purchasing power be
cause most people would be
likely to put it into savings.”
Sen. Albert Gore <D-Tenn), a
finance committeeman, said he
! doesn’t find any sentiment, partic
ularly from his state, for a gen
eral tax reduction as an anti
recession measure. He said he
would favor readjustment of the
excise levies.
Sen. John Bricker (R-Ohio)
said he will vote to wipe out all
of the excise levies except those
on tobacco and liquor.
“We ought to get rid of all of
these Korean War taxes that are
such a handicap to business,” he
said.
In this connection, Chairman
Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash)
of the Senate Commerce Com
mittee said he was informed the
administration is preparing to
recommend reductions in both
automobile and freight levies.
