GOP Charge Denis
Taking Public
For “Sleighride"
WASHINGTON, UP) — House
Republicans, charging that the
taxpayers are being taken for a
“beaucratic sleighride,” today
stamped a nine billion dollar price
mark on 11 spending proposals
now pending in Congress.
It was the first finding by the
GOP-formed “price tag commit
tee,” organized by Republican
House leader Joseph M. Wartin
last January to keep tab on costs
involved in pending bills.
In making public the initial re
port, Rep. John Taber of New
York, chairman, issued a state
ment saying the committee “has
only scratched the surface.”
Rep. Vursell (R.-Ill), chairman
of the sub-committee analyzing
the first 11 bills, put at $9,848,
385,000 their “total estimated cost
or ‘future) liability on the federal
treasury."
Saying, that the estimates “have
been deliberately placed on the
conservative side,” Vursell charg
ed that reports by standing House
committees on all 11 measures
were singularly lacking in analy
sis of initial costs” and “devoid of
estimates of future costs.”
“This type of ‘blind’ legislating
is to be deplored and avoided if
the fiscal soundness of our gov
ernment is to be restored, he as
serted.
Largest of the bills analyzed by
GOP price-taggers was the Presi
dent’s middle-income housing pro
posal in the House.
In addition to the housing bill,
other measures the GQP group
make estimates included:
A bill to increase airport con
struction authority in Alaska—to
tal estimated cost $17,000,000.
Victim Delivers
Assailant To Police
PRINCE RUPERT, B. C\, (/P)—
A wounded logging camp operator
had a bullet removed from his (
shoulder here Friday—but not be
fore he had piloted his own boat
into port and delivered to police
the man he accused of shooting
him.
Oscar Dunlap told police the
shooting occurred at his Crow
Lake camp 50 miles north of here, j
The shot struck Dunlap in the
right shoulder and his assailant;
jumped in the water. Two other:
employees fished him out and i
tied him up.
Despite loss of blood from his!
wound, Dunlap—the only one who
knew the course—had to pilot the,
boat into Prince Rupert.
Police charged the employee,
Mike Rozen, with attempted mur
der.

Goes To Theater;
Loses Her Memory
SEATTLE, (A1) — An attractive
19-year-old girl, whose past went
blank as she sat in a downtown
theater Tuesday, was identified
Wednesday night as Mrs. Alberta
Aarrington of Kelso.
Her identity was established
shortly after a beauty school op
erator recognized a photograph in
a Seattle newspaper as the same
girl who had applied for a job
early Tuesday. She had said then
she was from Longview.
Police in Longview, notified of
the report, learned that Mrs. Ar
rington, who was a beautician,
had been missing from her Kelso
home since Monday.
Her husband, Bruce, said his
wife had been in ill health since
giving birth to a baby last Novem
ber, they reported.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
BARN DANCE WELL ATTENDED
One of the liveeliest evenings
Nome has ever had was last Sat
urday night at the Chamber of
Commerce barn dance where a
record crowd actively enjoyed the
many and varied dances under Un
able guidance of Sgt. Gifford, and
to the excellent music of Peterson,
Miller, and Tippleman.
Teresa McDonald, Walt Miller,
and Peter Reader entertained an
enthusiastic audience with their
fiddling; Teresa McDonald being
chosen winner of the fiddling con
test.
Several bales of hay were loan
ed for the occasion by Herman
Hoop and helped carry out the
barnlike atmosphere.
The public address system
needed for the occasion was gen
erously arranged for by Lt. Secor.
Tasty punch prepared by John
McNees was readily consumed by
the active dancers who quite ob
viously enjoyed a lively evening.
More of this type of dance will
be forthcoming as it met with
such an active participation and
was thoroughly enjoyed by the
large crowd attending.
He—How about having dinner
with me?
She—I’d like to.
He—Okay. Tell your mother I’ll
be over at six, and I like steak.
