Robbery Still
Unsolved

iiieir investigation.
Still under consideration, po
lice said, was a report from a wo
• uan early this week who said she
saw the bandit car arrive outside
the Brink’s garage.
Police quoted the woman as
►lying she “got a good look” at
two men who stepped from that
car.
BOSTON, (/P>— Detectives in
bitxng a $1,500,000 raid on Brink’s
armored vaults expressed the be
lief today that the bandits used
•13il files or penknives to open
$ik doors to the cashier’s cage.
They switched their theory that
die gunmen used a pass key or
master key after special officer
Arthur Ahern opened a half doz-,
en locks with a fingernail file and
penknife.
The demonstration was given
last night on new locks installed
at the company’s raided garage
vaults. Ahern said, however, that
opened just as easily.
Ahern tried his experiment af
opened just as easily,
ter noticing scratches on a door
leading into the building.
“The test of locks became a
farce after a while,” Ahern said,
“We were able to open them—all
six doors.”
The demonstration was given
shortly before three carloads of
detectives swarmed into a garage
to examine a steel-gray canteen
truck—the same color as Brink’s
trucks.
The owner of the vehicle was
released after a long grilling by
top detectives.
DEMOCRATS HOLD
WELL-ATTENDED SESSION
The democratic meeting held
last Friday was well attended and
a busy session ensued. Tolbert
Scott was elected president;
Charles O’Leary, vice president;
Carrie McLain, secretary; and
Mrs. Charles O’Leary as treas
urer.
A committee was appointed to
line up candidates this week and
is composed of Axel Edman,
George Madsen, Chuck O’Leary
and William Beltz.
A discussion was held concern
ing the many things that would
be brought up before the ligisla
ture for the benefit of the 2nd
division, as it was felt that this
division does not get its share of
monies and benefits.
Some of the things the club
discussed of primary importance
was the placing of a full-time
welfare worker as well as an ag
ent of the unemployment office.
Truman Asks For
Excise Cuts, Plug
ing Of Loopholes

later by the treasury department.
However, the president made it
plain that he would veto any tax
cut that does not at the same time
bring in new revenue to make up
the loss.
“I wish to make it very clear,”
he declared, “that I could not ap
prove excise tax reductions un
less they are accompanied by pro
vision for replacement of the rev
enue lost, because I am convinced
that sound fiscal policy will not
permit a weakening of our tax
system at this time.
“Under present conditions, we
cannot afford to reduce excise
taxes first, in the hope that action
will be taken later to make up for
the loss in revenue.”

JUNEAU, (&)— Alaska fiaher
ies director Clarence L. Ander
son is flying to Washington, D.C.,
today for a review of 1U50 fish
and wildlife service fishing regu
lations.
On his way home, Anderson
said he would stop off at Seattle
to interview applicants for the
position of biologist on the de
partment’s staff.
In his 4,500-word message, the
president discussed at consider
able length “shocking” loopholes
which he said allow some persons
and interests to escape millions in
: taxes.
as one example, ne saia mai
“under present law, producers of
motion pictures and their star
players, have attempted to avoid
taxes by creating temporary cor
porations which are dissolved af
ter making one film.”
Present taxes are expected to
bring in about $37,300,000,000 this
year. This will be about $5,500,
000,000 short of anticipated ex
penditures.
In asking an over-all increase
of $1,000,000,000 in taxes, M r.
Truman retreated from the $4,
000,000,000 boost he recommen
ded last year and which congress
ignored.
This time he made no mention
of higher taxes for middle and up
per bracket individuals, such as
was included in his $4,000,000
000 bill.
The president said the tax pro
i gram he recommended is designed
to strengthen the tax system “so
i that it will yield revenues suffic
| ient to balance expenditures as
! they are further reduced over the
i next several years, and to provide
some surplus for debt reduction.”
