WHAT ABOUT THAT HEALTH PROGRAM?
Gov. Egan Still Opposed
To Capital Relocation
JUNEAU 6P — Gov. Wm. Egan
said Thursday he is still unalter
ably opposed to proposals to re
locate the capital of Alaska.
Asked to outline his present
views on the new capital reloca
tion which the State Supreme Court
has ruled must be placed on the
Nov. 6 general election ballot, Egan
said:
“Based on past expressions, this
is possibly the one question on
which my Republican opponent and
I agree.
“There is nothing in the present
initiative that would cause me to
alter the view I held in 1960.
“As with the 1960 initiative, I
cannot believe that the alleged ad
vantages of such a move offset,
the gains that the same public ex
pense would provide in schools,
roads, hospitals, airports, boat har
bors, fisheries rehabilitation and
other pressing needs.”
Unexpected Whitewash
SHAMOKIN, Pa. UH — The
town of Tharptown got an unex
pected whitewash Monday due to
a highway employe who meant
only to paint a new divider line
along Route 122.
A- hose connected to an auto
matic line painter sprang a leak
as the unidentified worker drove
through the center of town.
Quick-drying white paint gushed
from a 200-gallon pressurized tank
onto the road, sidewalks, fences,
lawns, flowers, hedges, cars and
trucks.
Police said the worker traveled
at least two miles — almost the
entire length of Tharptown — be
fore honking automobile horns
alerted him something was wrong.

Shifted Not a Finger
c?
WASHINGTON IT—Sen. Albert
Gore, (D-Tenn.t, complained yes
terday the Kennedy administra
tion "lifted not a finger” to help
Democrats struggling for the Pres
ident’s tax proposals in key tests
Wednesday.
Gore told his colleagues as the
fifth day of debate opened on the
tax revision bill that the adminis
tration took two major defeats
without making any fight.
He referred to the 66-20 vote to
knock from the bill the House
passed withholding plan on divi
dends and interest, and the 54-39
tally to water down the House pro
vision dealing with expense account
abuses.
In place of withholding taxes the
Senate adopted a requirement for
fuller reports to the Treasury on
interest and dividend payments, as
a collection aid.
Gore noted that Kennedy had
said in his first state of the union
message that expense account
abuses must be dealt with strictly.
“But I wonder what has hap
pened to the Irish element in the
administration,” he said, adding
that when this issue was put to
the test Wednesday, “the adminis
tration lifted not a finger to help
me.”
Administration leaders had ex
pected to be beaten on the divi
dend and interest provision.
But the size of the vote Wednes
day against withholding — 66-20
— was a surprise even to the little
group of Democrats who tried to
keep it in the bill.
There’s a chance the proposal
will be salvaged in conference be
cause the House included it in
passing the measure in March. But
the strongest advocates of the plan
said their hope is slim.
The Treasury estimated the di
vidend and interest withholding
plan would bring in about $900 mil
lion a year in taxes now evaded
by failure to report about $5 bil
lion of such income.
This was to be the biggest item
in paying for the major feature
of the bill — an investment credit
to spur business to buy new ma
chinery and equipment.
Without withholding, the bill is
estimated to mean a substantial
annual deficit to the Treasury.
ONE INMATE MISSING . . .
PINE BLUFF, Ark. t/F — An
inmate baptised Sunday at a near
by prison farm testified to onlook
ers that “the Lord has shown me
the way.’’
Monday Walter McWilliams, 31,
was reported missing from the
prison, where he was serving a
16-year term for burglary and
grand larceny.

Fcr Breath Analyze*’
HALIFAX, NS - Dis:. Judge'
Harold Pope told the Canadian
Bar Assn. Wednesday he and seven
other members of the Saskatche
wan Bar got together with a police
officer and a breath analyzer for
a scientific drinking experiment.
The judge from Moose Jaw said
they drank for an hour to see how
much it took to make their breaths
show .06 per cent alcohol on the
machine — Canada's legal criteron
for drunkeness.
At the end of the hour, said
Pope, two of the eight lawyers
breathed more than .05 per cent al
cohol.
He urged his hearers to make
similar experiments “to come to
grips with this terrible social prob
lem and stop the murder on the
highways.”

‘‘Not Good Enough”
U.S. Chorus Takes Top
Honors in Europe Contest
WASHINGTON UP — The story
of how the University of Arkansas’
mixed chorus went to Europe and
won first place in an international
competition in Italy came out yes
terday.
The chorus financed its trip on
a “do-it-yourself" basis after being
turned down 'by a State Depart
ment screening agency as “not
good enough” to warrant federal
assistance.
To make the victory sweeter,
the Sehola Contorum was publicly
congratulated by President Ken
nedy in his news conference Wed
nesday and next Tuesday will sing
for him in the Wrhite House rose
garden — just a loud holler, so
to speak, from the State Depart
ment.
The “not good enough” finding
was made by the American Nation
al Theater and Academy iANTA>
which acts as adviser to the State
Department on providing aid to
such groups going abroad.
Telling the story yesterday, Sen.
J. W. Fulbright, (D-Arkd, said the
chorus began planning the trip
early this year and contacted him
to learn if State Department aid,
through the Bureau of Cultural
and Educational Affairs, might be
forthcoming. A tape was submitted
to ANTA which said it was sorry
but the chorus failed to meet neces
sary standards.
After that the chorus embarked
on a statewide fund-raising drive,
gave concerts and seeking alumni
assistance.
The chorus raised the money,
made the trip and won the prize,
snatching it from 2“ other groups.
