Probably, too, he remembered a certain in sinuation I had made in a former story as to the type of scenery to be found in the islands and what should be done about it. "The young lady's name, I think," Jack tried to recall, "is Noni Belle. She and other members of her family were greeting acquaintances returning to Honolulu from the states, and in the carefree manner of her people she staged an impromptu hula. Next spring she and her sitter ere going to present a very formal one at San Jose college, in California, on the occasion of their brother's graduation from that institution." Honolulu must be nice.

OP Two defective mortar shells fell short and burst into a company of advancing Second division ma rines here Wednesday afternoon, killing eWht and injuring 23. Witnesses said the mortar gun ners saw that the shells were de fective a split second after they were fired during a routine train ing exercise at this big marine base in eastern North Carolina about 50 miles northwest of Wil mington. The gunners leaped to field telephones and notified a for ward observation post. But before the warning could be relayed, the shells exploded among the forward group of the weapons company. Bitter members of the company told a reporter they did not blame the mortar section, but felt that de fects in the ammunition could have been noted by careful inspec tion. The casualty list was expected to be made public today. A public information officer said that of the 23 wounded, 12 were in serious con dition at the base hospital here. There were no otlicera among the casualties. The ranking man in the group hit by the mortars was a senior non - commissioned officer. who was killed. The mortars were returned to the base and impounded for the inves tigation. Tregtdy Scene Like War . Members of the unit (Co. A, 1st Bn., 6th marine Regt.) told a re porter that a forward group of the weapons company was advancing through a wooded area when the two shells landed among the troops. Then the scene became like a real war. Highways leading into the camp were clogged with ambu lances. Other troops ran for cover. Field telephones started buzzing. borrowing relatives who live near the base rushed to determine whether their loved ones were among the casualties. Official par ties visited several wives notifying them that their husbands were killed or injured. It was the second piece of hard luck at Camp Lejeune this week. On Monday and Tuesday about 110 marines suffered food poisoning during the training maneuver. Navy Commander L. V. Hallowed, the acting base medical officer, said that all but two have returned to duty. He added that investiga tion showed ham sandwiches caused the poisoning.

ORECON THURSDAY. Tax Bill Okay Urged In House By Doughton Record $7 Billion Boost All Country Can Bear, Committee Head Argues WASHINGTON (PI Rep. Doughton (D-NC) asked the House today to approve a $7,200,000,000 tax increase, and said he didn't see how the rates could be boosted any higher. The North Carolinian heads the ways and means committee which drew up the bill, due to come to a final vote in the House Friday. He endorsed the huge proposed increase, largest in American his tory, as urgently needed to finance the nation's defense program. But he told his colleagues solmnly: "I consider it unlikely that we shall be able to increase substan tially the yield of the federal tax system beyond what is included in the present bill. "I say this in all frankness and sincerity, for I consider it essen tial that we face up to the fact that any higher tax rates on either in dividuals or corporations or excises would be exceedingly burdonsome and difficult to impose." Doughton said that under the current fiscal situation, Congress has three choices: increase taxea even higher than proposed in the pending bill: re-examine and re duce federal spending, both the ordinary operations of government and the military and foreign aid budget: or embark upon a renewed program of borrowing and deficit financing. ' Exoenditures Cut Urged He rejected the idea of deficit financing, saying it would Contrib ute to inflation and might perman ently impair the government's credit. He said the proposed $7, 200,000.000 tax hike is "as large an amount as could safely be col lected from the economy under present conditions." Hence, he con cluded: "The only sound course, in my opinion, is to re-examine the score of federal activities and to cut ex penditures to the bone." The chairman cf the tax-writing group noted that this is the third tax increase considered by Con gress since the outbreak of the Ko rean war a year ago. Taken to gether, they account for an estim ated yearly revenue increase of more than 117,000,000,000. Speak ing of the pending measure, Dough ton said: "To those who maintain that the bill would impose too heavy a bur den. I point out that personal in come and corporate profita are at record levels, and that most peo ple will still have, after the higher taxes are paid, larger take-home pay than they have ever previ ously enjoved. Republican leaders agree with the Democratic majority that the bill probably will be sent to the Senate unchanged. The Senate has not yet begun coasideration and isn't expected to act until falL 5 Districts Yote School Tax Levy Five Douglas county school dis tricts, in election Monday, voted in favor of the special tax levy to exceed the six percent limitation, according to reports received in the county school superintendent's of fice Wednesday.
