British Blow-up
Helgoland Base
CUXHAVEN, Germany, (/P) —
British demolitions blew up the is
land base of Helgoland, German
Gibraltar of the North Sea.
Watchers in this seaport 38
miles across the water from the
former German naval base saw a
towering grey column of smoke
rise over Helgoland. Two minutes
later three dull thumping explo
sions were heard, sounding like
blasts in a quarry.
The British had announced
months ago their intention to de
s'rry the naval stronghold.
Burgomaster Karl Olvers said
the destruction had caused sorrow
and indigation among the Germans
of this city. He asserted that the
Germans were saying the island
ruins would always remind the
people of the destruction and
w^ould contribute to everlasting
hatred.
A BBC reporter*said the explo
sion w'as about half the size of the
atom bomb and set up a small
wave on the sea.

Senate Starts Tax
Cutting Act
WASHINGTON, (/P)—The Sen
ate raises the curtain tomorrow on
the first act of its ax-cutting per
formance with the cash customers
waiting to see:
Whether they will get a refund
on part of the taxes paid this year,
or
Whether the new lower rates
will be delayed until July 1.
The third possibility — that no
cut will come this year—appears
remote despite these two week-end
developments:
1. President Truman’s declara
tion that higher prices already
have “inflated the entire economic
structure” and that lower taxes
now would only promote further
inflation.
The chief executive coupled this
prediction with a forecast that the
government’s budget for the cur
rent fiscal year ending june 30,
will show a $1,250,000,000 surplus
—the first since 1930.
2. A bill by Democratic Senator
Lucas of Illinois to cut taxes next
January 1 on a somewhat different
basis than the 30-20 per cent slash
retroactive to last January 1 al
ready voted by the House.
The Democratic whip said his
substitute besides delaying the cut
until next year would:
A. Hike exemptions for depend
ents from $500 to $600 and thus re-!
move 3,200,000 persons from fed
eral tax rolls.
B. Cut each surtax next income '
bracket by two percentage points.
C. Permit husbands and wives
in all states to split their income
for tax purposes. The government

Following the Grand Prize Race
the prizes were awarded by Miss
Nome 1947, to the winners of the
races while Kennel Club chairman
John McNees, announced the
names and prizes over the loud
speaker system to the crowd gath
ered to witness the events.
The prizes for the Speed Race
were awarded first. Albert John
son, was presented with a loving
cup and a check for $50.00. Joe
Komok won $25 and a loving cup.
Third prize was a loving cup given
to Andrew Kalaruk.
Arthur Trigg, third place win
ner in the Grand Prize Race, was
presented with a loving cup *md
$25; Edwin Punguk, second place
winner, was given a loving cup
and $50; and Wm. Stetinger, first
place winner of the Grand Prize
Race, was presented with a huge
silver loving cup and $150.
permits this now by residents ot
only nine-so-called community
property states. The effect in
many instances is to avoid higher
surtax rates.
The House bill would cut low
bracket income taxes by 30 per
cent and most others by one-fifth.
Its cost to the treasury has been
estimated at $4,000,000,000.
Lucas said his measure would
cost $3,800,000,000.
