$1 Million in Silver
Dollars to Be
Displayed at C21
By the National Assn, of Manufacturers
PORTLAND, Ore. — A glisten
ing, 30-ton heap of one million
silver dollars on display at the 1962
World’s Fair likely will evoke from
Seattle visitors the comment:
“Boy, if I only had that pile of
dough !”
If you agree, be advised that you
wouldn’t have most of it very long.
You would hand over $856,910 for
federal income taxes, if you head
an average family of four.
For a brief, bittersweet moment
you were among those rare Amer
icans in the 91 per cent bracket.
Normally you begin paying taxes
at the 20 per cent rate — which,
incidentally, accounts for 84 per
cent of all federal individual income
Btaxes collected. ,
Just how far do one million tax
dollars go in today’s federal spend
ing spree? They would only:
Meet the interest costs on the
national debt for one hour and
three minutes!
Or,
Pay salaries of all federal civilian
employes for one hour and 27 min
utes!
Or,
Retire from production less than
two per cent or tne land acres ’ sou
banked” in 1961!
Or,
Provide Free World citizens $1.36
“foreign aid,” apiece, in those na
tions in which we have foreign
economic assistance commitments!
Or,
Pay the storage costs on “basic”
supported food commodities (cotton,
tobacco, peanuts, wheat com, dairy
products) for less than one day!
The easy come-easy go attitude
is habit forming!
In fiscal 1963, for instance, Uncle
Sam expects income taxes on in
dividuals ts account for S3 per cent
of all revenue. To separate individ
ual taxpayers from that amount
of their income, tax collections must
be at a rate of 5H milions of dol
lars an hour ... 24 hours a day
... for the entire year.
That million dollar pile seems
smaller now. doesn’t it?
Now, some really heady high
finance: Consider that total federal
collections of 93 billion dollars are
expected freon all sources in fiscal
1963, Enough to pay the bills? Prob
ably not!
For while budget receipts have
increased from $80.2 billion in 1955
to an estimated $82.1 billion in
1962, there have been only three
years of surplus (totaling $4,446
million) and four deficit years
(totaling $26,056 million).
Paste those figures in your hat
for the day you visit Seattle and
view that pile of one million silver
dollars. Will it still look like a
heap of money? It should because,
actually, it is!
And it could and should be
stretched a lot further in the fed
eral household budget. But millions
—and millions—of your dollars will
be used only as wisely as your
insistence unon it indicates.
An estimated 10,000,000 persons
will visit the World's Fair. If each
household head wrote his congress
man, that would be a heap of in
sistence.
The philodendron, it has been
found, is the type of office live
plant favored by most American
business executives.

CALL OFF BASEBALL
STUNT AT WORLDS FAIR
SEATTLE m — Officials of the
Seattle World’s Fair have decided
they aren’t going to let homer
snagger Sal Durante of Brooklyn ■
get banged up if they can help it. j
They’ve called off the stunt
where 20-year-old Sal would catfch j
a baseball dropped off the 600-foot
Space Needle.
Sal was the one who grabbed
Roger Maris’s record-breaking 61st
homer last season.
Soon after that, officials of the
big exposition offered Durante
$1,000 if he could catch a ball
dropped from the Space Needle.
He made plans to come to the
fair and try it.
Then Dr. Kenneth Clark, a
physicist at the University of
Washington, started doing a little
figuring.
He came out of his one-man
huddle estimating the baseball
dropped from the tower would be
traveling 130 miles an hour and
gathering speed when sure-handed
Sal caught it.

U.S. Reveals
New Airborne
Command Post
WASHINGTON Uff — At an air
field a few minutes by helicopter
from the White House, a big silver
plane stands ready for flight at
any hour.
Its crew is never far. it is
guarded by Air Force policemen
and dogs.
This is no ordinary Air Force
plane, although it looks about the
same as tankers used to refuel
bombers of the Strategic Air Com
mand.
It is a new airborne command
post specially fitted as a refuge for
President Kennedy and the top
commanders in event of a surprise
nuclear attack. There are three such
planes, one always standing by.
If war should come, the na
tion's defense and counter-attack
could well be directed from one
of these four-jet, swept-wing g:ants
cruising more than 40,000 feet
above the earth.
Aerial command posts intended
specifically for the President have
been in operation for about two
months. Their existence has been
kept under wraps.
Together with an underground
sanctuary in Maryland and the
Navy command ship Northampton
in the Atlantic, the planes provide
alternate emergency headquarters
fense chiefs could prosecute a war
in safety, even though key gov
ernment and military centers are
destroyed.
Packed with elaborate communi
cations equipment, they can in
stantly contact U.S. forces around
the world. With air refueling and
enough supplies they can stay aloft
for days.
These command planes, con
verted KC-135 turbo-jet tankers,
form another element in a growing ]
system designed to assure unin
terrupted control of U.S. ground,
air and sea forces under all cir
cumstances
The Presidential planes are much
like the command aircraft which
the Strategic Air Command has
been flying for 14 months, only
less spartan.
The KC-135s are rated at better
than 600 miles an hour. The tank
er version costs about $3.5 million
each, but the command types prob
ably are considerably more ex
pensive.
OKEH NOMINATION OF WHITE
WASHINGTON UP) — The Senate
Judiciary Committee unanimously

for the American Bar Association
and others at the committee’s hear
ing on his nomination.

LEGISLATURE DRAWS
PRAISE FROM GOV. EGAN
JUNEAU vn — The 1962 legis
lature, which adjourned early yes
terday morning, drew praise from
Gov. Wm. Egan as a “constructive
job well done and in the interest
of Alaska and its citizens.”
Egan added:
“Prior to the outset of this ses
sion, there were many who pointed
to 1962 as an election year and
freely predicted that by reason of
this the accomplishments of the
1962 session would be few.
“I do not share this view and,
in looking over the legislation
which has been enacted, I feel that
my faith in the caliber and dedi
cation of the men and women com
posing the membership of the
House and Senate has been ful
filled.”
