3,000 Air Force Captains
To be Promoted to Majors
WASHINGTON, UR—'The Sen
ate passed and sent to the White
House Wednesday a bill to permit
3,000 additional Regular Air
Force captains to become majors.
Sen. Howard Gannon (D-Nevi,
a Reserve colonel and World War
II pilot, said most of the captains
involved have 14 years service
and many of them are pilots. He
said the large number of younger
officers in the Air Force' caused
a promotion log jam.
Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz)
recently promoted to brigadier
general in the Air Force Reserve,
told the Senate many of the
younger officers who served with
him in Air National Guard units
are entitled to the promotion.

House Overrides
Eisenhower Veto
For First Time
WASHINGTON, (/P>—'The House
voted Thursday to override Presi
dent Eisenhower’s veto of the sec
ond Public Works appropriation
bill.
Until now, the House had never
voted to override an Eisenhower
veto.
The roll call vote was 280-121,
12 votes more than needed to
override.
A great shout went up at the
announcement of the vote, mark
ing the first time since Eisen
hower took office that the House
has mustered the necessary two
thirds vote to pass legislation de
spite the President’s rejection
of it.
The vote sends the $1,185,309,
093 measure to the Senate where
prompt action is expected. If the
Senate also votes to override, it
would be the first of 146 Eisen
hower vetoes in more than six
years that has been overridden.
The President vetoed the bill
because it contained money for
more than 60 projects which are
not included in his budget pro
gram. He vetoed an earlier bill
for the same reason but the House
last week sustained that veto by
a one-vote margin.
On Thursday’s roll call, 20 Re
publicans and 260 Democrats
voted to override. Five Demo
crats and 116 Republicans voted
to sustain the veto.

the 67,594,000 employed in July.

Australia Tough On
Imported Foreign Cars
SEATTLE, UP)—-The folk “down
under” don’t give foreign cars as.
free a welcome as they auto.
That was the Alaska Steamship
Co.’s verdict on a customer query.
The customer wanted to know
what it would cost him to bring
his Volkswagen with him from
Anchorage to Sidney, Australia.
After investigation, Alaska Steam
reported:
“Rate is $44.50 per ton plus
terminal charges in Seattle and
Sidney. Import duty is 70 to 100
per cent, and the car must bo
converted to right-hand drive or
deposit full duty for tourist per
mit, install truck signal arm and
carry sign front and back saying
‘Tourist, etc.’ This good only for
90 days.”
Alaska steam hasn’t heard any
more from the customer who was
thinking of taking his car to Aus
tralia.
