church.
| Before the altar, he knelt with j

Afterward, he took the two by
1 the hand and led them to the cen
; ter of the Kosciusko bridge, span-1
ning a creek lowland bet ween J
Brooklyn and Queens.

Fairbanks Man
On “Last Trip
‘Outside’"
SEATTLE, i/P)—Jesse W. Rust.I
66, of Fairbanks, who has spent
the last 43 years in Alaska, vowed
he had made his last trip “Out
side.”
“I don’t like it,” the veteran j
Alaskan said in summing up im-1
, pressions of his first Stateside
1 visit in more than four decades.
With Mrs. Rust, he left Fair
banks last September 30 for a visit
vith heir children and friends in
ihe States.
The visiting was fun, but Rust
was counting the hours, figura
tively, at least, until he could start
homeward.
Visiting at the home of their
daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and
Mrs. Nels Jorgensen, Rust Friday
was bu>y getting his automobile
equipped and ready for the 3,500
mile drive to Fairbanks.
The couple plan to drive home |
over the Alaska Highway as soon
as weather conditions permit them
to start. ,
Rust, who first went to Alaska
from Seattle in 1900 and last was
Outside the Territory in 1904 and
1905, was not too pleased with
! either Seattle’s chilly wea her or
' its congestion.

Truman Hands
Record Budget
To Congress
(Continued from Page One)
total still further.
Even in the absence of that out
lay the chief executive declared,
the nation faces an $873,000,000
1950 deficit piled atop a $600,000,
000 red ink entry for 1949—unless
taxes are raised.
Soberly*, Mr. Truman declared
•hat future budgets will have to be
bigger yet to meet America’s
m >unting responsibilities in the
world and to pay to bill for a
greatly expanded military estab
lishment at home.
Thus the Prevalent relieved
with emphasis his plea that Con
gress jump taxes $4,000,000,000 c
year—not counting higher levies
for increased social security bene
fits and a new health insurance
program he wants to start the
new deal ball rolling again.
These important disclosures
were made on highest authority
following issuance of the budget
message:
1. The Prseident figures on July
1 being the effective date for the
$4,000,000,000-a-year tax hike he
wants on corporation, estates and
“middle and upper” bracket in
iconrre. He thinks it may yield only
$2,000,000,000 in fiscal 1950, how
ever, because of a time lag in col
lections.
2. The President expects to fi
nance his proposed national health
insurance program with a Vz of
one per cent total tax on payrolls,
beginning next July 1. Employee^
and employeis each would pay V*
of one per cent.
! 3. An estimate that individual,
income tax collections in 1950 will
yield $19,135,000,000 reckons that
j individual incomes will remain at
the recent record-high annual rate
of $215,000,000,000 and the federal
income tax alone will drain off
nearly one-tenth of that.
j “That sergeant! I’ve never
; heard a man talk so fast in my
life.”
“Why shouldn’t he? His father
was a tobacco auctioneer and his
mother was a woman.”
