Volunteers Called
As Seward Reports
15 New Polio Cases
SEWARD, I.?*—Fifteen new polio
cases were reported Wednesday
and a call went out for volunteer
nurses to aid in combating an out
break that has claimed two' lives
and hospitalized 20 other persons
since July 5.
Medical authorities, in radio
appeals, said the volunteers were
needed to relieve the critical
shortage of nurses caused by the
swift spread of the disease.
Doctors said that approximately
two-thirds of those under treat
ment were in serious condition.
They said, however, they believed
the outbreak has reached its peak
and a tapering off is expected
after this week.
The initial outbreak occurred
July 5. On July 19, 13 more cases
were diagnosed and 9 were re
ported July 22.
The deaths were Barbara March,
4, and Deloyce Smart, 17.
Doctors, in special radio broad
casts, said sufficient supplies are
available to combat the outbreak,
but called for volunteers to re
lieve nurses who have been on a
24-hour schedule at the hospital
ward.
996 Soldiers Volunteer
To Extend Their Tour
Of Duty in Alaska
Soldiers evidently like Alaska.
During the past year 996 have
voluntarily extended their tours
of duty here. A check of personnel
records at USARAL headquarters
discloses.
Most of the extensions were for
a one-year period, it was said.
A percentage-wise reading on
the proportion who chose to “stay
a while longer” was not available,
but the number is felt to indicate
that Alaska rates high with an
Army man.
A new regulation now permits
officers to extend their two-year
tour for an additional year. For
merly they could extend for only
six months. Applications are re
quired to be submitted from seven
to nine months beforehand, and
are subject to approval of the
commanding general.
Under present policies, enlisted
men may extend their normal
two-year tour for periods up to
one year for a total length of ser
vice in Alaska not to exceed six
years.

Newspaper Says
McCarthy Owes
On Back Taxes
WASHINGTON, UP—'The Wash
ington Evening Star said Thurs
day interna] revenue agents, after
an 18 months’ investigation, have
concluded that Sen. McCarthy
owes additional income taxes and
interest of about $25,000.
McCarthy, asked if he wished
to comment on the newspaper’s
story, told a reporter: “It’s strictly
untrue. There is strictly nothing
to it.”
McCarthy, talking again with
newsmen later, called the story
“a complete and vicious libel.”
“There is absolutely no truth
in it,” McCarthy said. ‘There has
been no intimation of any kind
by anyone that I owe additional
taxes.”
The Internal Revenue Service
declined comment.
The newspaper said it had
learned the revenue service will
soon present the evidence it has
gathered to McCarthy and give
him a chance to explain data that
the tax investigators do not un
derstand.
“The tax agents do not contend
that Sen. McCarthy acted with
fraudulent intent,” the story said.
“Instead, they assert the Wis
consin legislator erroneously clas
sified as non-taxable some of the
money he received and on which
he should have paid taxes.”
The case was described as cov
ering the tax years 1946 through
1952.
Surplus Property Bill
Passed by Senate
WASHINGTON, UP—The Senate j
passed and sent to the President j
Wednesday legislation providing I
for the disposition of surplus per- i
sonal property to the territorial!
government of Alaska.
The purpose of the bill is to'
permit the territory to secure sur
plus personal property of the U.S.
government without cost.
This legislation would be help
ful to the territory because there
is in Alaska considerable surplus
government materials, including
generators, tractors and Office
furniture.
WASHINGTON, UP)—President
Eisenhower declared Thursday
the over-all performance o'f the
American economy since his ad
ministration took over “has been
better than during any earlier
time.”
“The paramount fact ... is that
the recent decline in economic
activity has come to a halt,” the
President said at another point in
a report on the state of the
nation’s economic health at mid
year.
And he listed signs which he
said point out bright prospects
for the future.
Eisenhower’s survey in this
year of congressional election
amounted to a reply to Democrat
ic critics who have contended that
the Republican administration is
breeding unemployment and lead
ing the nation into a depression.
There appears no doubt that
both sides will draw heavily on
the report for ammunition in the
upcoming vote battles.
Eisenhower noted the criticism
in general terms and went on to
say that “the recent economic de
cline, on the over-all basis, has
been very small.”
He also declared:
1. Price increases during the
first six months of this year were
“tiny” and—if developments such
as bargain sales are taken into
account—“we can surely say,
without the slightest fear of con
tradiction, that the value of the
people’s money has remained en
tirely intact.”
2. “The increase in wages—
which is one of the principal ex
pressions of the progressiveness
of the American economy—has
continued.”
3. Unemployment is greater
now than during the Korean War,
but “in recent months has not
been larger than during the com
parable months in 1949 and 1950.”
The President added that the rate
of unemployment “has shown
sometendency to diminish o'f late”
and said “this is one of the nu
merous signs” of economic im
provement.
Agnes Monagle surprised her
sister, Mrs. Teddy Reed, today
with an unexpected visit. She is
enjoying her first return home in
11 years, as she makes her home
in Anchorage.
