Int. Rev. Allows
Late Alaska Filing
- With Interest
SEATTLE, t* — Alaskans will
have an automatic 60-day exten
sion in filing federal income tax
returns this year but an Internal
Revenue official says he expects
most returns will be made at the
regular time to avoid interest.
William E. Frank, District Di
rector of Internal Revenue, said
today persons living or traveling
in Alaska have the privilege of a
60-day extension under a Treas
ury Department ruling issued Feb
ruary 13, 1959.
Frank said the 60-day extension
has applied in previous years for
persons outside the continental
United States. This year for the
first time, he added, the Treas
ury Department specified that the
continental U. S. does not include
Alaska for filing purposes.
The district director said he
has ruled that 6 per cent interest
will accrue on any Alaska returns
filed after the regular April 15
date. Frank said he felt the sit
uation was the same as where
extensions are given upon special
request.
“Thousands of persons are given
extensions for various reasons,”
he said, “and they understand
that interest is charged.”
ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
The discovery of Uranus in 1781
was accidental and unexpected.
William Herschel in England was
examining a region in the con
stellation Gemini through the tele
scope when he noticed a greenish
object which seemed to him some
what larger than a star. Its move
ment among the stars soon proved
that it was not a star. *
Calculations showed eventually
that" it was a planet more remote
than Saturn and the name Uranus
was assigned to it. The ways of
the new planet perplexed astron
omers for many years thereafter.
It did not follow faithfully the
course they expected it to persue
around the sun, the predicted or
bit in which the disturbing effects
of the other known planets had
been carefully included.
Finally Leverrier in France
reached the conclusion that the
motion of Uranus was being al
tered by the attraction of a plan
et still more remote and yet un
seen.

‘Learn to Live With’ Sonic
Booms’, Says NASA irlead
SAN FRANCISCO, OP. — San
Franciscans, exasperated by sonic
booms for three consecutive days,
got this word yesterday from avi
ation experts:
Learn to live with the problem
— it will get worse.
That applies to any place where
aircraft fly faster .than the speed
of sound.
“No one has the secret for dis
persing the pressures that cause
such vibrations,” said Dr. Max
Heaslot, head of the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration’s theoretical aeronautics
branch. “I’m quite sure in saying
that.”
“We’ve known for a long time
that a plane traveling horizon
tally at supersonic speed — in
excess of 650 miles an hour at
35,000 feet — will induce a sharp
pressure disturbance on the
ground,” he said.
Coast Guard Helicopters
Will Patrol Bering Sea
WASHINGTON, UP — The Coast
Guard said yesterday it is acquir
ing two new Bell helicopters —
to be sent first to patrol the Bering
Sea near Russia’s easternmost
shore, then to hunt illegal stills
in North Carolina.
The Coast Guard would say
little about the Bering Sea mis
sion. It has used light helicopters
for some years as reconnaissance
craft flying out ahead of the ice
breakers to spot the most satisfac
tory courses through ice.
The two Model HUL-lG heli
copters, military counterpart of
the helicopter sometimes used for
White House transportation, will
be delivered to the Coast Guard at
the Bell Helicopter Co., Fort
Worth, Tex., plant this month.
