Search Starts for
Man Missing in
Arctic Wilderness
FAIRBANKS UPP-'The 74th Air
Rescue Squadron is entering the
search for a young Pennsylvanian
unreported more than two years
in the arctic wilderness.
A helicopter from the Ladd Air

The unit will be guided by two
% Territorial Police officers in the
hunt for the whereabouts of Rich
ard Moros, who was flown into
the area by a bush pilot on June
24, 1955.

word of Moros. His parents re

who was 22 years old and recent
ly discharged from the Army
when he came to Alaska in search
of solitude in the wilds.
A party of five men focnd Mor
os’ first camp near a small lake,
not far from the Sheenjek River.
The camp apparently was just
as Moros had left it two years
before. Some of his gear still was
still wrapped in the same paper
in which it was packaged when
he bought it at Fairbanks just be
fore he left for the camp site
near the Brooks Mountains.

Democrats Off to
Running Start on
Income Tax Cuts
WASHINGTON (A*>—Democrats
I were off to a running start Satur
I day on the politically popular
subject of income tax cuts.
House Speaker Rayburn (D
Tex> and Democratic members of
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee agreed Friday to begin
hearings on general tax revision
when Congress returns in Janu
ary.
The decision, reached at a
closed door conference, was taken
to mean that Democrats are de
termined to be first in line with
legislation whenever the state of
the budget permits general tax
relief.
In the Senate, Sen. Yarborough
(D-Tex) proposed an across-the
board income tax cut, to be ac
complished by increasing the
present $600 individual exemp
tion to $600.
He told the Senate _ “It’s time
Congress recognized the crushing
burden the average family bears
in income taxes.”
Tax experts said a $200 increase
in personal exemptions would
cost the Treasury around $5 bil
lion dollars annual revenue.
New Safety Regulation
Requires Hard Hats
In Alaska Construction
ANCHORAGE—“Hard hats” are ^
in style this summer on construc
tion jobs thruout the territory.
A new safety regulation of the
Alaska District Corps of Engi
neers provides that all field, main
tenance and operations employees j
of the District will wear the pro
tective headgear known as hard j
hats at all times while on duty in j
construction or operating areas. |
Among the new projects that j
[ are entirely hard hat areas for I
j construction workers is the $25,-1
1000,000 project to build six new j
i DEW Line stations for the Air j
Force stretching 1,000 miles along!
the Aleutian Island chain.
The new regulation is an ex- ,
tension of the previous rule that
hard hats be worn where there [
was. danger from falling objects.1
Approved hard hats are of two
types: one made of aluminum, the
other of non-shatterable fiber
glass.
