4-Year-Old Buys
Turkey For
Princess Elizabeth j
.
NEW YORK. (/Pi — Four-year
old Julia Alloro marched into the
offices of a food-shipping agency,
rattled her piggy bank and said:
“I want to buy a turkey for
•Princess Elizabeth.”
Julie explained that because of
the food shortage in England she
was afraid there wouldn’t be ‘‘any
thing good to eat’ at the forth
coming royal wedding reception.
So she’d slipped away from home
and made the hour-long subway
ride from Brooklyn to the Man
hattan food firm.
A clerk took her to the presi
dent of the company. He called
Julie’s mother. When Mrs. Alloro
arrived she opened the piggy
bank, added $5 to the $4.20 her
daughter had been saving for
Christmas and advanced the
money as part payment for a tur
key to be airmailed to Princess
Elizabeth.
Julie was happy. She made only
one stipulation.
‘‘Please ask the princess to send
me the wishbone after she gets
done with the turkey,” she told re
porters.

FAIRBANKS. (>P>—'The body of
Sigurd <Sid‘ Paulson, 75 pioneer

erties, was found Sunday in his

erman before joining the Klondike

High Tax Income
Cutting Cost Of j
European Aid
WASHINGTON, (/P) — A tax ,
windfall resulting from booming
business is showing promise of
balancing off part of this year’s
addeti costs of aid to Europe.
Some government analysts said
yesterday receipts for the current
fiscal year ending next June 30
may up the present budget esti
mate of $14,700,000,000 by $2 000,
000,000 if nothing happens to
check the revenue flow. Last
year’s total was $43,200,000,000.
The governemnt analysts said
they see little or no threat on the
business horizon to continued high !
tax revenues, but they added that
any tax cutting measure could up
set their new calculations.
Revenue collections for the first
third of this fiscal year—the slack- i
est season of the tax collection cal
endar—belied budget bureau pre
dictions by running $200,000,000
ahead, instead of behind, the same
period of last year.
They totaled $12,195,662,555 for
the July 1-October 31 period. In
dividual income taxes withheld
held from pay checks brought in
$3,319,417 114, nearly $500,000,000
above the comparable period of
1946.
Taft Says Aid
Sum Entirely
•r
Too Large
WASHINGTON, (£>) — Senator
Taft of Ohio picked up recruits to
day in his drive to trim foreign
spending .proposals as he pointed
the issue toward a showdown be
fore the Senate Republican policy
committee on Friday.
Taft’s abrupt opposition to the
$2,657,000,000 estimate by secre
tary of state Marshall as the cost
of economic help to Europe and
China up to next June 30 collided
sharply with administration plans
for the special session of Congress
opening next Monday. The White
House has been hoping to rush
through a $597,000,000 appropria
tion for emergency aid to France,
Italy and Austria.
Taft’s declaration that the whole
bill is too big brought a quick re
sponse from Republican Senator
Dworshak of Idaho, who told a re
porter he thinks “the United
States is spending too much in Eu
rope.”
It also prompted a Democrat
Senator, who asked that his name
not be used, to express the hope
that Taft will “fight it out” Fri
day before the GOP policy com
mittee which the Ohioan heads.

Workers Should Register
With Unemployment
Compensation Bureau
The Unemployment Compensa
tion Commission of Alaska
through its executive director, R.
E. Sheldon, comments on the fact
that employers in the Territory are
approaching the time of year when
many industries are compelled to
curtail or completely suspend
their operations.
Workers who have been em
ployed in covered employment
other than seasonal and who are
able and available for work and
willing to accept suitable work
may be eligible to receive unem
ployment benefits. Unemployed
workers are therefore advised to
register for work with their near
est employment office. If no work
is available, they may then file
claims for unemployment com
pensation and if found eligible,
may receive weekly benefits from
a minimum of $8.00 a week for
eight weeks to a maximum of $25
per week for as many as twenty
five weeks while unemployed
through no fault of their own.
•
Workers may write direct to the
U n e m ployment Compensation’s
central office, P. O. Box 2661,
Juneau, Alaska, Mr. Sheldon an
