In The Day's News By FRANK i (Continued from Page 1) i stabilization, made a remark last f night that sounds odd coming from a bureaucrat. ; Addressing a church audience i in New York, he said: "I am not r so sure that higher taxes are the tiling we need at this time. . . A I big boost in taxes right now might 1 DULL THE INVENTIVE of both 5 labor and management. . . I favor f, a smaller tax bill with LESS GOV- ERNMENT SPENDING." . ' He said, you will nolc: "A big f boost in taxes might dull the in ' centive of both labor and man 1 agement." Those are fairly large ( words. Maybe we'd better see iX ';' we can simplify them. Ho means: If taxes get so high that labor 5 will figure it has nothing to gain by WORKING MORE AND PRO i DUCING MORE, maybe it won't i work more and produce more. I If taxes reach the point where r larger profits BEFORE taxes mean SMALLER profits AFTER taxes, will management quit try ; ing to MAKE ANY MORE? I Ypu know, that is SOUND ECO "Well," said the foreman of the jury, an old hand at the job, "we won't do much deliberating on this case! Open and shut. No question about It." Briskly he called for the ballots to bo passed, "just to sec . how we stand and save talk." He was amazed as the first round gave eleven one, "Ha, ha!" said the wag of the group. "Eleven dinners and one bale of hay! Ever hear that one?" There was general searching of facet for the "bale of hay" voter. . She disclosed her identity. "I've never been on a Jury before," he ' said, "but I've raised boys. I think the two boy witnesses told the truth. And I think the lawyer thought so, and that was why he i bullied them so!" i A babel of talk greeted this. Ob- j vlously she was a minority of one. Then the woman directly across the table spoke up. 'I "That lawyer did bully tho boys, I never thought why. You know, 1 I didn't like the way he kept after them but " the speaker lapsed I into a thoughtful silence. The ( other voices began to toss the evi deuce back and forth. The whole I V , sT Nary Plans Large Increase In Number Of By ELTON C. FAY Associated Press Military Affairs Reporter WASHINGTON - The United Stales navy, already the world's bifft'cst, is building about 180 more ships for the fleet, ranging from h huge carrier to radically new design destroyer and submarines. A survey of available records today showed, among other things, th.it 13 submarines are being built now, not counting the experirrentnl atomic-powered undersea boat recently authorized by Congress. This is the largest submarine build ing program since the mass production days of World war ii. There are about 450 combat ships in inc operating licet now, not in cluding several hundred amphib- joiis, supply ana auxiliary craft. Murh of the buildup of the oper : ating fleet has come from pulling ; laid-up ships from the mothball fleet, although some of t expansion includes now carriers, deslroyers and other major com bat craft. The mothball fleet of vessels built for World 'War II numbered : nt one time about 2,260. It still is a sizeable force in reserve about 1,800 craft, despite with drawals tor return to the active ; iii-ei, iransier io navies oi omer friendly 'powers and dispositions by sale or other means. Included In the reserve fleet are II battleships and two battlecruis- crs, a type built specifically tor . .annuls umi.ir uesiKn oi me cruisers, however, were completed j too late for use in the war and were put into reserve almost im mediately. Big Ones In Service The navy now has all four of its 45,(X0-ton Iowa class battleships Dacx in commission or being read led for operation. The 11 battle wagons In the reserve fleet include n inorougniy modern but .ia.,,-1 oo.uw-iuu nisi snips as wcu is several oiuer Dattiesnips built during World War I and sub sequently modernited. Biggest of the ships under con flrurlion is the Forrestal, a 56-OOO-ton carrier to cost an estimated JENKINS NOMICS. I'm half inclined to think Mike hasn't been around Wash ington long enough yet to get spoiled. Speaking of working harder and harder in order to produce more and more, here is an interesting one from Washington:' "The agriculture department re ported today that farm flocks laid four billion, seven million eggs in September, a record for that month and two percent more thn in September last year. The Sep tember 1951 output was 25 per cent above the September aver age for the past 10 years. "The nation's laying flocks av eraged 327,762,000 layers n Sen tembcr, or one percent less than in September last year and only six percent above the ten-year average. The point of that rather long- winded dissertation is that FEWER HENS ARE LAYING MORE EGGS. Question: Do you reckon the hens ever slop to wonder where they're Bet ting off with this program of lay ing more eggs per hen? HIDING BASKET case hinged on the testimony of (he two teen-agers. If they were right and they had quietly, act ing a little scared stuck to the stories as witnesses then the "other side"-was definitely not tell in the truth . . . "Well, let's take another vote," said the foreman. He whistled softly. "Gosh, it's not so open and shut as I thought. Five of you have switched over." Someone suggested bringing In the blackboard diagram. Then there was a re-hearing of one part of the evidence. The "simple" case was turning out less simple. Anolher vole. "Darned if I don't think the kids were telling the truth!" said the wag of the party. "Order a bale of hay for me, too." There was a little more talk, friendly argument and now and then two or more having a little chat on the side as juries do. Then, another round of ballots. This time: Said the foreman: "Well, what d'you know! Unani mous! Just goes to show you never can tell!" Combat Ships '$218,000,000. It will Include surh ultra modern gadgets as a retrac table "isiand" to make the carrier a true flush-deck flattop and a television set to enable landing of ficers to see planes approaching the flight deck when the island superstructure with lis bridge is retracted into the deck. Building also are two experimen tal tvnp shins, nnn an "ncpun es.

Three such craft are building, being es sentially experimental designs. They are substantially larger and faster than the old I'T boats which operated so successfully against the Japanese in the Pacific island campaigns. Bill For Steam Power Plants In NVV Delayed WASIIINGTO (.P) A bill to authorize construction of steam power plants in Washington and Oregon faces new congressional delays. The house rules committee blocked immediate action on the bill and Chairman Sabalh ( D-Ill) indicated the measure may not be considered a ;inn until January, after the congressional recess. Sahath said t h c conunitte wanted additional information on the measure which would author ize the Interior department t o build eight fuel-fired generating plants to provide supplemental power. Rep. Jackson (D-Wash) urged Ihe committee to clear the bill for action in the House. He pre sented a letter from defense Mo biliier Charles E. Wilson approving the program. Wilson said in the letter he thought the proposal to build three I steam plants and five gas turbine generators was a good one from the national security standpoint. He said his office would favor a northwest power system that in corporates enough steam gener ating capacity to "correct in con siderable part" the imbalance be tween steam and hydro-electric snulU()wn of aminum potlines. ln mf,ing immKiate ,Cion Jackson told the committee the construction should be authorized now sn Ihe nrmprt umit.1 he pli"ihle to: aunriinrialinns when ( nnuress 1 & comes back in January.

J, ,, V, To Go Through This AW- 7p AGAIN) W If Columbus Never Knew America Even Existed By ED CREAGH WASHINGTON OP) Chris topher Columbus was possibly the jrealest sailor in history but on his first trip lo the new world he ran his flagship, the Santa Maria, aground like a novice. Columbus was a truthful man but he saw no need to tell every body all he knew. On that first voyage he kept two sets of rec ords one for the crew and one for himself. The men were fretful already and he figured what they didn't know wouldn't hurt him. These and olher oh-is-that-so's about Columbus were supplied by the Library of Congress in con nection with a special exhibit marking the 459th anniversary of his discovery of American and the 500th anniversary of his birth. Its exhibition features a num ber of Ihe maps that persuaded Columbus the world was round even though they led him to think there was no such place as Amer ica. The spotlighted exhibit is a beautifully colored map published in 1482 from an original by Ptol emy, a second century Greek whose notions of geography were still current in Columbus' time. "Ptolemy under-estimated the size of the earth and overestimated the extent of Asia," -explained Richard .Murphy, head of the library's map reference section. "Thus it seemed entirely feasible to reach the Far East by sailing west. Columbus, of course, thought he had reached the Far East when he caught sight of the West Indies. He never budged from that belief, either, ln fact he later had all his erew members sign an at' iui(tt 11 iimi inua whs pari ui uie Asiatic 'mainland. U. S.

S. recruit is a rich man compared with the draftee in any other country of the North Atlantic Treaty organization. His British comrade-in-arms starts soldiering at $16.80 a month. The Greek conscript does next best $10.08. And so it goes on down the line to the Turkish draftee, who's mus tered in at honest, this is not typographical error U cents a month. ' These figures, supplied by U. S. military authorities, were made public by a house appropriations subcommittee in connection wilh the $7,482,527,790 foreign aid bill The figures for the overseas NATO countries show that France pays its draftees $1.28 a month, Iran shells out 31 cents a month and Portugal bestows 51 cents a month. It won't surprise enlisted men of any army to learn that the pay goes up fast as a man rises through tne officer ranks. France, for instance, pays a major $203 a month, compared with the $384.75 that an American major gets. Belgium, which has $6-a month draftees, pays its majors up to $279.20. And Turkey, wilh its 11-ccnt con scripts, pays majors up to $197 a month. In other words, while an Amer ican major is paid about five times as much as a draftee, a French major ;ets 36 times as much as French draftee and Turkish major 1.790 times as much as a Turkish draftee. There's one thing for sure about the Turkish system: It gives a man plenty of incentive to buck for officer training.

Cash balances of the stores di vision and the privilege tax di vision for the three month period ending Sept. 30 total $3,485,000, with $3,200,000 toming from liquor sales and $285,000 from privilege taxes. Cities will welcome a five-percent allocation from liquor rev enue amounting to $160,000, this quarterly payment being the first to be made from liquor, receipts to incorporated cities since the 1951 legislature changed the law re garding distribution of stores di vision revenue. Previously all net revenue from state liquor sales was directed to the general fund whichnow will receive95 percent, or $3,040,000 of the net amount derived from liquor sales during the last three months. Proceeds from purchasers' permits will con tinue to be distributed separately, half going to the general fund and half to incorporated cities. Treasurers of Oregon . counties will receive 75 percent, or $213,750, of privilege tax money collected since July 1, and the remaining $71,250 will be channeled to the general fund. Distribution of funds to incorpor ated cities and counties is made according to population.
