AIR FORCE GROUNDS
C-133 CARGOMASTERS
SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, 111.
iS) — The Air Force said yester
day all C-133 Cargomasters were
grounded after cracks were found
in the wing structure of three
planes. Air Force engineers said
the cracks “could affect the in
tegrity of the aircraft structure.”
Maj. Irving Breaslauer said all
46 planes were grounded after
cracks were found in the wing
structure of three of the planes
during a routine inspection.
He added that the grounding of
the planes had nothing to do with
a C-133 with a six-man crew
which has been missing in the
Atlantic since Sunday.
An Air Force Engineers report
issued yesterday said “it cannot be
determined whether or not the
C-133 aircraft that recently dis
appeared into the sea had a crack
in its wing. However, it is be
lieved that such a crack in itself
could not cause an accident.”
The reason most barns were
painted red in the old days was
that red paint was cheapest.

Sen. Humphrey
Urges Cut In
Income Taxes
WASHINGTON Iff) — Sen.
Hubert Humphrey, (D-Minn.), to
day urged a cut in individual and
corporate taxes “to strengthen the
economy and the stock market.”
“It will take more than expres
sions of friendship and cooperation
from the White House and other
areas of government to strengthen
the market,” Humphrey said in a
statement.
“What is needed is action,” he
said. “Delay by Congress or the
administration will bring further
economic trouble.”
The Assistant Senate Democratic
leader, who talked yesterday in
New York with stock exchange
officials and other financial leaders,
proposed cuts of 2 to 4 per cent
in corporation levies and 2 per
cent in personal taxes.
Meanwhile, the recent gyrations
of the stock market prompted Rep.
Wright Patman, chairman of the
Senate-House Economic Commit
tee, to ask Congress to approve a
$750,000 investigation of the mar
ket by the House Banking and
Currency Committee.
“Congress ought to know what
influences the stock market and
how these influences affect the
health of the business and credit
systems,” said the Texas Demo
crat.
Tuesday’s surging rally of the
New York Stock Exchange con
tinued yesterday anxT over the two
days an estimated $20.8 billion was
added to the quoted value of listed
stocks. This more than made up
Monday’s $19.5 billion loss.
Secretary of the Treasury Doug
las Dillon told the House 'Ways
and Means Committee yesterday
the administration was not sup
porting any immediate income ta>
cut.
195 Lives
Snuffed Out
On Memorial Day
By the Associated Press
Four plane crashes which killed
13 persons helped push to a record
high of 195 the nation’s Memorial
Day toll of accidental deaths.
The previous mark was 174 for
a one-day Memorial holiday in
1956.
The traffic death tide of this
year’s holiday rose nearly to the
record 100, also established in 1956.
Auto traffic killed 106, drownings
took 34 lives. Boating accidents
claimed 9. Other accidents, in
cluding plane mishaps and fires,
killed 46.
Two men died and two were
hurt in a plane crash Wednesday
night near Masillon, Ohio.
One of the plane accidents, all
involving private craft, came in
an upset during a take-off attempt
at Ripley, N.Y., which killed three
sisters and injured two men, the
father and an uncle of the girls.
The men were thrown clear. The
girls trapped in the plane burned
to death.
Five persons were killed near
Holly Hill, S.C., when a plane hit
a clump of pine trees in an emer
gency night landing attempt. The
victims were four members of a
Houston, Tex., family.

merding, Pa., had been wounded.
Later examination, police said, re
vealed no wounds. Polla apparent
ly was overcome by tear gas, they
added.
The body of Dr. Daniel Thaw,
chief of acute and intensive treat
ment at the VA hospital at Leech
Farm on Pittsburgh’s Washington
Blvd., was discovered in one of
two connecting offices where Polla
had holed up.
About 60 policemen sped to the
scene and surrounded the build
ing. They summoned an armored
car for use as a shield, and fired
several bursts of tear gas.
Hospital officials said Polla was
discharged from the hospital last
, April 19 as a voluntary patient.
He had been in and out of the
hospital since the Korean War.
