Far-Reaching Gold
Resolution Passed by
California’s State Senate
SACRAMENTO. Calif. UP — A
far-reaching resolution asking
Congress to revive dormant gold
mining operations through subsi
dy was given final legislative
approval by he State Senate yes
terday.
The measure — designed to
aid miners in California’s mother
lode country — asks federal
laws to:
1. Raise the price of gold from
$35 to $105 an ounce to make it
feasible for abandoned mines to
return to operation.
2. Allow U. S. citizens to own
gold and the government to coin
it.
3. Prohibit withdrawal of gold
(from the U. S. Treasury for for
eign and and foreign commercial
and banking use until the current
U. S. Gold deficit is ended.
State Sen. Edwin Regan argued
that enactment of such federal
laws would “revitalize the gold
mining industry.”
But Sen. Albert Redda,—one of
two senators to vote against the
measure — said such enactment
would greatly upset U. S. foreign
relations and cause other serious
problems.

Pan Am 707 Jets Carried
24,000 Passengers in First
Full Year of Operation
SEATTLE UP) — Pan American
World Airways carried about
24,000 passengers in Boeing 707
Intercontinentals over the Seattle
Fairbanks route the first full year
of 707 operation on the run, the
Seattle Times said today.
This surprisingly high volume
has led Pan American to schedule
daily 707 service from Seattle
Tacoma International Airport to
Fairbanks beginning June 1.
The northbound and south
bound jet traffic was about even
ly divided. Since iClarch, 1960,
when Pan American first assigned
707’s to the Fairbanks run, the
Boeings have carried 12,048 pas
sengers northbound and 11,995
southbound.
Pan American would prefer to
operate smaller transports on the
Fairbanks run. The Intercontinen
tal is a long-range over-ocean
plane.
But the carrier has interconti
nental time available between
trips on the Seattle-Portland
Hawaii run. Thus, Fairbanks
benefits.
Fairbanks will be one of the
smallest cities in the world to
have competitive jet service when
Alaska Airlines begins Convair
880 flights from Seattle to the In
terior Alaska city in mid-July.

Court Tests That
Bingo Game Proceeds
Subject to Federal Tax
Receipts from bingo games
conducted by an otherwise tax
exempt labor organization may be
subject to federal income tax, ac
cording to Commerce Clearing
House, national reporting author
ity on tax and business law.
A labor organization is now
contesting in the U. S. Tax Court
income tax imposed on bingo pro
ceeds of $17,285 and $11,106 for
1956 and 1957. The bingo pro
ceeds were ruled taxable by the
Internal Revenue Service as “un
related business income” of the
tax-exempt labor organization,
Commerce Clearing House says.
The games were regularly con
ducted by the union education
and welfare division in a build
ing owned by labor organizations
in the area. Union members and
their guests as well as the gen
eral public attended.

WASHINGTON UP) — The es

A spokesman said last night the

on the proposal, contained in a

nesota.
Professional pickpockets usually
drop a stolen wallet into the near

money, They’ve found this the
quickest way to get rid of the
evidence. Each week about 450
wallets are found in New York
City mailboxes.
