Eisenhower Says
“Real Peace” Is
Basic Issue
(By the Associated Press*
Gen. Eisenhower got down to
specific issues Thursday, saying
that enforcement of Fair Employ
ment Practices (FEPC) is a matter
for the states and that the states
also can handle education prob
lems better than the federal gov
ernment.
He said too at a news confer
ence at Abilene, Kansas, that the
Truman administration must take
some of the responsibility for the
loss of China to the Communists.
On a broader scale, Eisenhower
said the paramount issue in the
presidential campaign on which
he has embarked is “real peace
and security in the wTorld.”
Matter-of-factly, he commented
he hasn’t the slightest idea wheth
er he can win the^ Republican
nomination over Sen. Robert A.
Taft of Ohio. He said he will
support the G.O.P. nominee, if
he doesn’t get the prize, on the
asumption that the party plat
form will be satisfactory
Eisenhower wound up his Abi
lene visit today and will go to
New York tonight. He has a news
conference scheduled Saturday in
New York.
British Ship Sinks
In Flames When
Hit by Dutch Plane
DEN HELDER, The Nether
lands, (/P)—A Dutch Thunderjet
crashed into a British minesweep
er Thursday and the 112-foot ves
sel sank in flames. A report from
the British embassy to London
said 15 seamen lost their lives. A
cautious British Admiralty state
ment conceded that “casualties
are believed to be heavy.”
The plane crashed during
NATO exercises. A Dutch com
munique said the pilot was killed
and two survivors of the 65-ton
British vessel were rescued.
Three Dutch fishermen wit
nessed the crash. They reported
that two planes made a mock
diving attack on the British motor
launch.
One of the planes pulled out of
its ^dive but the other crashed and
burst into flames, setting fire to
the British ship, which sank im
mediately.
The accident occurred off the
Dutch naval base of Den Helder,
between the mainland and the
West Frisian island of Texel.
RED TAPE GAGS TENOR
LIVERPOOL, England, (/P) —
Beniamino Gigli, noted Italian
tenor, offered to sing for Korea
bound British troops he met at a
pier here Wednesday night just
before he sailed for Canada.
“But,” he explained somewhat
puzzled, “I am told that I cannot
because of what you call ‘red
tape.’ ”
One of Gigli’s aides pointed out:
“We haven’t a Ministry of La
bor permit.”

Federal Tax Repealed!
WASHINGTON, (yP)—Found: a
federal tax that is being repealed.
The Senate passed and sent to
President Truman this week a bill
to repeal the Alaska Railroad tax
of 1 % on gross annual income.
The Senate Finance Committee,
quoting a favorable Department
of Interior report, said it was an
oversight that the tax was not
repealed in 1949 when the gov
ernment agreed to step out of
the franchise and license tax field
in Alaska. Such taxes now are
levied by the territory.
Repeal of the tax doesn’t affect
federal revenues. The. proceeds
have been turned over to the ter
ritory. Anyhow, the railroad is
government-owned.

gory.
