Tuesday Basketball
In the opening of the second
half play of the Nome Basketball
league last night, the Merchants
had an easy time of it, as they
heat Nome High Schol, 54-27. In
the nightcap, the Polar Hornets,
leading all the way, eased past
the rejuvenated Independents,
54-43.
The opener was highlighted by
Lincoln Trigg’s spectacular shoot
ing. He paced all scorers in the
battle, with 18. The Nanooks were
led by Cliff Steele, who' cashed
in for six points.
In the finale, the Hornets,
pdced by Frank Austin with 16,
and Sam Mogg with 11, staved off
a fourth-quarter rally by the In
dies, and finished out in front.
The losers were paced by John
Bandy, who had 5 for 13 from the
free throw line, and 6 field goals
for a grand total of 17 points, to
lead all scorers. Mark Beauchamp
also aided the Indies cause re
mendously by stuffing the ball
through for 8 points to lead the
Indie fourth-quarter rally, which
threatened to catch the high
flying Hornets.

The Bear Facts . . .
MILWAUKEE, Uft — It’s true.
L. V. Barnes really did see a bear
blowing an auto horn at a cock
tail lounge New Year’s Eve.
Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Weis
ringer said today that they had
their 50-pound black bear cub,
Booboo, with them at the lounge,
and put him out in the car later.
Barnes went out to his own car
and saw Booboo happily blowing
the Weissinger’s horn. He men
tioned it to his wife, who ex
pressed a certain skepticism.
The display advertising firm
executive turned in desperation
to the press.
Barnes ran an ad asking for
witnesses so he could convince
Mrs. Barnes.

Ohio Governor
Pledges Delegates’
Vote to Kennedy
COLUMBUS, .Ohio, Wi — Gov
ernor Michael V. Di Salle agreed
yesterday to seek the role of Ohio
favorite son pledged to Senator
John F. Kennedy of Massachu
setts for the Presidential nomina
tion at the Democratic National
Convention.
The announcement apparently
sidetracked a prospective battle
for Ohio delegates in the May 3
primary election.
Ohio party leaders have called
for a united 64-vote delegation to
the convention in Los Angeles
next July M.
“The fact that my candidac.. is
an open endorsement of Senator
Kennedy will give other candi
dates a chance to come into the
Ohio primary and contest for the
Ohio delegates,” De Salle said.
“This will also eliminate the
possibility of being accused of
making a deal for the nomination
for the Vice Presidency. A Ken
nedy-Di Salle ticket would be a
political impossibility for obvious
reasons.”
Political speculation has dis
counted such a ticket because both
Kennedy and Di Salle are Roman
Catholics.
De Salle said his decision meant
that Ohio will have a solid con
vention delegation — fifth largest
at Los Angeles.

French Government
Seizes Commie Newspaper
PARIS, UPl — The government
yesterday seized the pro-Commu
nist newspaper Liberation be
cause of comments on conditions
in Algeria’s internment camps.
The government said the issue
was confiscated because it com
mented on a report by an Inter
national Red Cross committee.
The independent newspaper Le
Monde carried a resume of the
270-page report Monday. It said
the Red Cross committee had
found conditions in the Algerian
camps and prisons ranged from
highly satisfactory to very unfav
orable. Although Le Monde also
commented - on the report and
pulled no punches, its issue was
not seized.
PUNCTURE-PROOF . . .
WACO, Tex., UP) — A keg of
roofing nails bounced off a truck
onto Highway 6 just south of this
central Texas city yesterday and
angry motorists soon started fix
ing flat tires.
Nails littered both sides of the
road for more than 100 yards.
Within minutes, at least seven
cars halted in pelting rain with
one to four flat tires.
State Police closed the road
until the nails were swept up. The
errant trucker hasn’t been found.

1960 Brings
Increase in SS
Withholdings
(By The Associated Press)
An increase of $24 a year in
Social Security payments to the
federal government became effec
tive on January 1.
An equal increase will be paid
by employers. Both have been
paying at the rate of $120 a year
on the first $4,800 of earnings.
Each will now pay a maximum of
$144 on the same amount of
earnings.
In other words, the rate.of with
holdings has been increased from
2Vfe to Si per cent. Under Congres
sional legislation of 1958, this
withholding rate will be gradual
ly increased to nine per cent in
19-69
In 1963 it will rise to 3Vi per
cent each for employer and em- "v
ploye, in 1966 it will climb to 4
per cent, and in 1969 it will reach
4V4 per cent for each
In 1969, the maximum total for
both employer and employe —
based on the first $4,800 — will
be $432. Officials point out that
if further benefits are added, the
rate will have to be increased to
prevent a deficit in the fund,
however.
If an individual works for more
than one employer during the
year and pay^ more than the
maximum withholding based on
$4,200, he may apply for a refund
or apply it to income tax under
an item on the federal income
tax form.
Self-employed persons partici
pating in the Social Security pro
gram must pay the full six per
cent.
