Investigate Waterfronts
On Atlantic, Pacific Coasts
WASHINGTON, (A>)—Sen. War
ren G. Magnuson (D-Wash) re
ported Monday he had been as-1
sured the Senate Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee
would investigate waterfront ac
tivities on both the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts, including Alaska.
The committee, which met in
Washington Monday, proposed an
investigation of all transportation
and communications fields with
specific emphasis on port security.
Magnuson told the committee
the most sensitive points to the
nation’s security today are its
waterfronts and seaports.
The Senator pointed out also
that Alaska defenses are depen
dent on the security of the na
tion’s waterfronts and water- !
borne shipping.
Eisenhower Pledges . . .
(Continued from Page One)
to the Capitol and the noon <EST)
swearing in of Eisenhower and
Vice President Nixon.
They rode bare-headed through
cheering crowds.
Eisenhower’s address, only 2250
words in length, was cast strongly
on a spiritual plane. He said
nothing of specific plans.
There will be a later state-of
the-union speech to Congress to
set out his legislative program.
In his immediate audience at
the capitol ceremony were the
members of Congress, top officials
of the old and new administra
tions, foreign diplomats and thou
sands of invited guests.
Millions of others in the United
States saw and heard the cere
mony by television. Radio picked
up his voice and carried it across
the seas.
Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson
administered the oath.
Richard M. Nixon was sworn in
as Vice President just before Eis
enhower assumed his office. Sen.
William Knowland of California
administered the oath to him.
Eisenhower rested his left hand
on two Bibles—one his own from
West Point day, the other a Tes
tament used in George Washing
ton’s first inauguration—as he re
peated the oath.
Standing by was Harry S. Tru
man.
WASHINGTON, Ito— As Presi
dent, Dwight D. Eisenhower will
receive about $39,000 less in take
home pay than his predecessor,
Harry S. Truman.
The latter wanted Congress to
remove this difference by retain
ing for Eisenhower the same tax
exemption on a $50,000 expense
allowance that Truman enjoyed.
Eisenhower himself made no com
ment and Congress, which had to
act by Jan. 20 for the new Presi
dent to benefit, did nothing about
it after a House committee rejec
ted the bill.
Here’s the way Truman figured
out his own and Eisenhower’s
pay:
• Truman
Annual salary .$100,000
Tax-free expense
allowance . 50,000
Total . 150,000
Tax on salary alone .... 56,000
Take-home pay . 94,000
Eisenhower
Annaul salary ..$100,000
Taxable allowance . 50,000
Total . 150,000
Tax on full amount .... 95,000
Take-home pay . 55,000

Lomens Come Near To
Upsetting Tundrabirds
In Close Hoop Game
By HERB WILLIAMS
The 32nd Tundrabirds made
the Lomen Commercials victim
number 14 as they fought from
behind to gain their win over the
ex-Nome High players in an ex
citing game, 42-37. The 142nd lost
by forfeit to the 23rd Eclats be
cause they didn’t have enough
players to suit up for their tilt.
Andy McCarty picked up 15
points in the second half to lead
his team to victory after hitting
for only one field goal in the
fii'st half. His fireball of play kept
the 32nd in the game during the
second half as he drove, shot and
ball-hawked the Lomen team.
Lomens jumped to a 14-8 lead
at the quarter mark and main
tained the pace up to the half,
23-14. At the start of the second
half, the crowd began to sense
that Lomens might put the upset
of the season to the undefeated
Tundrabirds. But the 32nd were
n’t to be denied their right to
first place as they fought through
the Lomen defense for 16 points
while the losers managed to
pick up only 4 when the third
period ended 30-27 in favor of
the Tundrabirds. The two teams
matched basket for basket in the
final period as the 32nd clung to
their lead and won out 42-37 for
■their 14th straight win of the
season.
McCarty led the winners with
17, Walton 12, Litman 9, Harper
and Bensman 2 points each. Isaac
Larsen of Lomen tied McCarty for
high point honors with 17, Chug
Willoya 11, Bell 6, Ahkolik 2,
and Okpealuk 1 point.

Research To Conquer Polio Goes On
The fight against polio goes on night and day in our great research
laboratories. Tremendous strides toward eventual victory ove# this
dread disease were announced recently, but years of costly work remain
ahead before this goal can be realized. Virus scientists at Lederle
Laboratories Division, American Cyanamid Company, Pearl River,
N. Y., examine an experimental polio vaccine just as it comes from the
centrifuge, a machine important in this type of research.
They are, left to right, Dr. Victor Cabasso, Dr. Herald Cox and Dr.
Manuel Roca-Garcia. These three scientists figured prominently in the
news recently when Lederle announced that a modified live virus vac
cine, effective only in animal studies against one deadly type of polio,
can be produced easily in chicken’s eggs.
