Alaska Steam Studies
New Methods Freight
Handling To Alaska
SEATTLE — New type ships
for the Alaska trade may be the
outcome of a special study the
board of directors of the Alaska
Steamship Company has author
ized its president, D. E. Skinner,
to undertake, it was revealed to
day.
“Continuing examination of sea
trains and car ferries in other
areas,” Skiner said, “has pointed
up the advantages of such opera
tions and with the authorization
of our board we are now under
taking an immediate and thorough
investigation in order to deter
mine their feasibility for the Al
aska trade.”
Several successful seatrain and
roll - on roll - off operations are
being conducted on the Great
Lakes, along the East and Gulf
coasts and in the Caribbean.
The salient feature of both
types of cargo service is that
trailer vans or box cars are em
ployed as the cargo carriers and
are loaded aboard ship as a unit,
rolled on and off in some cases
and lifted on and off in others.
Skinner pointed out that Alaska
Steamship Company has main
tained close observation of new
shipping developments for the
past several years and the com
' pany’s decision to intensify its
studies in this field reflects its
determination to provide Alaska
with the finest possible freight
service at the lowest rates.

House Beats Demo Move
To Strip Tax Cut From
Tax Revision Program
WASHINGTON, UP)—The House
today defeated a last-ditch Demo
cratic move to strip a tax cut on
dividends from President Eisen
hower’s tax revision program.
The next move is expected to
■be final passage of a compromise,
1,000-page revision measure which
would reduce the nation’s 1954
tax bill an estimated $1,363,000,
000. But action was withheld for
a time to hear a speech by Korean
President Syngman Rhee.
Democrats moved to strike
from the bill a disputed provision
to permit taxpayers to subtract 4
per cent of their dividend income
from the tax payment they other
wise would make.

U.S. Protests Red 1
Chinese Attacks
On British Plane
WASHINGTON, UP)—The United I
States has sent two strongly 8
worded protests to Communist 1
China, denouncing fighter plane ]
attacks on a British transport and
American rescue planes.
The State Department, in an- i
nouncing this Tuesday, said the |
British government has been !i
asked to pass on the twin protests
as an aftermath of the weekend ^
plane clashes in the South China a
Sea.
Press Officer Henry Suydam f
told a news conference the U.S.
notes cover both the shooting I
down of a British airliner some
30 miles south of Hainan Friday
and Red fighter attacks Monday j
against American carrier planes
which were searching for possible
survivors. Three Americans were
killed and three wounded when
the British transport crashed into j
the sea.
The department’s announcement
came about the same time that the
Peiping radio reported the Chi
nese Red regime had lodged a
“grave protest” against the shoot
ing down of two Communist
planes by U.S. Navy planes on
Sunday.
The United States insists the
Red planes attacked over the open
sea and the jets, protecting a
search for possible survivors of
the downed British airliner, shot
them down.
LONDON, UP)—Britain is con
veying to Red China an American
protest against Chinese attacks on
Western aircraft, Foreign Secre- J
tary Anthony Eden told the House I
of Commons Tuesday.
Britain is delivering the protest®
because the United States has not ®
recognized Red China diplomatic- "
ally. 1
Eden announced Britain itself
is making a further protest to
Peiping about Chinese violations
of “international custom and be
haviour” in hampering rescue op
erations after the airliner was
shot down.
