“Alfalfa” of Our Gang
Comedies, Shot and Killed
In Argument Over $50
SAN FERNANDO, Calif., UP) —
Actor Carl (Alfalfa) Switzer, 33
— a freckle-faced wide-eyed mo
vie star as a boy — was shot to
death Wednesday night. Police
said the shooting had occurred
during an argument with another
man over money.
Switzer was a favorite of mo
viegoers a generation ago when
he appeared in “Our Gang” and
“Reg’lar Fellers” comedies. He be
came known again with reissue
of the films to television under
the title “The Little- Rascals.”
But in recent years his movie
parts had been minor, and he
worked as a bartender and hunt
ing guide when not acting. He
realized nothing from reissue of
the old films.
Police said Switzer had gone to
the home of a friend, M. S. Stiltz,
38, Wednesday night in an effort
to collect a $50 loan.
Detectives said Stiltz told them
that an argument had developed
and Switzer hit him on the head
with a clock. Stiltz got a gun, and
it fired harmlessly while they
struggled, Stiltz said Switzer
drew a knife, and Stiltz shot him
in the abdomen.
LIFE-SAVING GOOD DEED . . .
ST. LOUIS, UP) — Girl Scout
Diane Ailer of suburban Afton has
done her good deed, and it should
take care of some days to come.
Diane, 12, dived into the frigid
waiors of a creek and saved her
younger sister, Cynthia, and a
7-year-old neighbor, Russell Ber
ryman. The two plunged into the
water when ice gave way while
they were riding on a sled.
Neither Cynthia nor Russell can
swim.

Slogans Sell
Safety Around
" World
By Martha Johnson,
Dodge Safety Consultant
SLOGANS have been used for
years to sell everything from
popcorn to world peace.
Some pretty clever slogans
have been dreamed up to help
stop accidents, too.
According to the National
Safety Council, however, the
best safety slogan ever written
isn’t worth a whoop unless it’s
backed up by plenty of action
and a good, sound continuing
safety program.
These safety officials are con
vinced that a good safety slogan
can help a good safety program.
So, just for fun, they’ve com
piled and translated a list of
safety slogan used successfully
around the world, to show that
safety is sold everywhere.
China: “Let your head guide
your feet.”
England: “More patient pe
destrians mean less pedestrian
patients.”
France: “Caution prevents suf
fering.”
Germany: “Caution is not
cowardly, and carelessness is not
courage.”
Hungary: “Go slower — get
farther.”
Israel: “Life and death are on
the roads.”
Mexico: “An automc i!c is al
ways as drunk as the man driv
ing it.”
Russia: “Better ' Am L.iv —
than never.”
South / ,'ricc. “A cat Las r’ac
lives—a pedestrian only one.”
Sweden: “Watch where you
step, or you’ll step into trouble.”
United States: “Let safety
share your ride. Make every
drive a safety drive!”

Order To Tax
Living Allowance
By FRANK W. VAILLE
WASHINGTON, UP> — The In
ternal Revenue Service yesterday
reversed an earlier ruling and
said the cost-of-living allowance
paid federal employes in Alaska
won’t be taxable.
Senator Bob Bartlett said he
was so advised by Dana Latham,
IRS commissioner. Bartlett said
he understood the new ruling had
been approved by the White
House.
The agency last month ruled the
previous tax-exempt status of the
25-per-cent living allowance paid
federal employes- over their basic
salary in Alaska would be lost
when Alaska became a state on
January 3.
The Alaska Congressional dele
gation and Governor William A.
Egan had protested the ruling.
An estimated 8,500 federal em
ployes in Alaska had faced a
sharp reduction in take home pay
under the original ruling.
Had it stood, the added taxes
for an unmarried federal em
ploye with no dependents and an
$8,000 base salary would have
been increased by nearly $50 a
month.
Senator Ernest Gruening com
mented:
“I am hopeful that before this
Congress ends that we may be
able to obtain a more equitable
cost of living allowance, instead of
the existing flat 25 per cent, so
as to reflect the differences in
living ‘costs in various parts of
Alaska.”
Gruening explained that he
hoped to get the Labor Depart
ment’s Bureau of Labor Statis
tics to conduct a detailed survey
into the varying living costs so
as to establish exact scales for
tax allowances.
Washington Republican
Wishes Gov. Egan Well
WASHINGTON, OP — Represen
tative Thomas Pelly (R-Wash>
said Wednesday he is sure all
members of Congress share his re
gret that Governor William A.
Egan of Alaska is critically ill in
Seattle.
He told the House Egan’s ability
is needed to help Alaska get off
to a good start as a member of
the union.
“Economically, Alaska is faced
with difficult problems, and es
pecially in view of the fact that
her principal industry and so
called cash crop is her fisheries
resources,” Pelly said. “Owing to
the refusal of the Japanese fish
ing fleet to conform to conserva
tion, tins source is badly depleted.
“I had written to wish Bill
Egan well as Governor, and to
assure him of my cooperation and
support. Now I can only express
the deep and sincere hope that
he recover, and speedily. Alaska
needs him."

ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
Some of the satellites of Ju
piter are too small and faint to
be easily seen through the tele
scope. They are designated by
numbers from 5 to 12 in order of
their discovery.
The fifth satellite is the nearest
of all to the planet. In the small
eccentricity nd inclination of its
orbit and its direct revolution
it resembles the four bright sat
ellites.
The seven outer satellites have
orbits of considerable eccentricity
and inclintion to the ecliptic.
They fall into two groups. The
sixth, seventh and tenth satellites
revolve from west to east at mean
distances, of a little more than 7
million miles from the planet. The
eighth, ninth, eleventh • and
twelfth satellites revolve from
east to west.
Jupiter is a bright morning star
shining in the southeastern sky
several hours before sunrise.
