WASHINGTON, (/P)—The navy
yesterday disclosed plans to build
radically new type submarines—
one to be atomic powered—and to
convert a cruiser into a guided
missile combat vessel.
These construction plans were
made known in a request to Con
gress for authority to build 112
vessels of varying types.
Adm. Forrest Sherman, chief of
naval operations, told the House
armed services committee the re
commendations weer put before
secretary of defense Johnson on
Feb. 13.

WASHINGTON, (/P)—'The Inte
rior Department said today that
settlers on public land in Afaska
may hold only on one side of a
highway.
The department said the regu- j

The limitation does not apply to
local roads.
WASHINGTON, (£»). The House
Ways and Means Committee voted
today to cut in half—from 20 per
cent to 10—the federal excise tax
on tickets to movies and sports
events.
The committee took the action
in approving another $240,000,000
slash in the excise tax list. This
brought the total of tentatively
approved cuts to $575,000,000.
This is far in excess of the I
$190,000,000 reduction President
Truman had proposed for that
part of the list which the commit
tee has considered. Mr. Truman
has threatened a veto of tax-cut
ting legislation if his recommend
ations are ignored.

NATIONAL DISTILLERS PRODUCTS CORPORATION, NEW YORK, N. Y. . 85 PROOF
Craig Goes Dry But
Squeek Rises; Vote
Mi\\ Be Voided
w
'Juneau Empire, April 19>
The “skin of your teeth” elec
tion held at Craig recently in
which the community went dry by
a narrow margin of three votes
was challenged today in district
court with five complainants ask
ing that the election be declared
null and void.
Name as defendants were the
City of Craig, on Prince of Wales
Island not far from Ketchikan,
three election officers of the city
and J. W. Leivers, clerk of the
district court for the First Divi
sion.
The vote went 90 ballots cast
against the future sale of liquor,
and 87 to stay “wet.” If the vote
holds, Craig will be reportedly
the first town in Alaska to vote
itself prohibition. The other two
communities on the island, Kla
wok and Hydaburg, have been
dry for some time.
Two points are brought out by
the plaintiffs, who are Florence
Mielke, Jessie Thompsan, Joe
Otto, Anna Dye and Clifford An
t'd rson.
First point is that 15 ballots
were from those not resident of
Craig but considered legal by elec
tion officials, and second that ab
sentee ballots weer counted, where
“no provision is made in the mu
nicipal ordinance for the casting
of such ballots.”
With 46 of the 183 ballots claim
ed illegally cast, Anderson “will
be deprived of his right to serve
on the city council, and other
plaintiffs will be deprived of
rights and property withoue due
process of law,” the complaint de
clares. Their occupations were not
listed in the complaint.
Election officers, named as Ger
trude Seltzer, Ruby Smith and
Robert Cogo are asked to be en
joined and restrained from issuing
a certificate of election showing
result of canvasses made by them
of ballots cast.
If the certificate is issued, Lci
vers is asked to be restrained
. from making a finding as to the
results of the election, based upon

tlie certificate which would nor

Elected were a mayor, a school
board member, three members of
the council and the liquor ques
tion was up for a “yes” or “no”
vote.
Thirty-one absentee ba 11 o t s
were cast; they were counted ten
days after the regular election,
held April 4. The suit was filed
in Ketchikan by attorney Robert
H. Ziegler and reached Juneau
last week for filing.
