billion dollars borrowing author
ity, a boost of 15 billions.
He said his tax program would
result in about 600 million dollars
tax relief each for individuals and
for businesses, in addition to the
changes that took effect Jan. 1:
a 10 percent cut in personal tax
rates and abolition of the excess
profits tax on corporations. In
the message of about 40,000
words, Eisenhower also:
1. Recommended a 25-point tax
revision program, calling upon
congress to: shift the annual per
sonal income tax deadline from
March 15 to April 15;' liberalize
deductions for family medical
costs; allow limited deductions for
child care; give farmers a deduc
tion for soil conservation; extend
corporation income and excise tax
rates rather than permit them to
decline April 1 to pre-Korea lev
els' and enact a series of revisions
aimed at lightening and adjusting
the tax load on business.
2. Renewed his pica, stymied in
the Senate after the House okay
ed it last year, for a higher legal
limit on the national debt. While
he used no figure today, his pre
vious request for a boost from
the present 275 billion dollars to
290 billions. The debt is now about
274 Mi billions.
3. Revised downward budget es
timates for the current fiscal year
which ends next June 30. Here is
the comparison between Eisenhow
er's estimates for the current year
made last August and now, the
August figure first in each in
stance: Income $68,305,000,000
$67,628,000,000
Outgo 72,116,000,000
70,902,000,000
Deficit , 3,811,000,000
3,274,000,000
Year-end debt 271,100,000,000
269,750.000.000
Eisenhower thus trimmed near
ly VA billion dollars from his pret
vious spending prediction for this
year, and, despite a drop of 677
million dollars in expected rev
enue came up with a fiscal 1954
deficit 537 million dollars lower
than he estimated six months ago.
His new fiscal 1954 estimates
showed incc-me about one billion
dollars less than former President
Truman estimated in his budget
message to Congress a year ago.
Spending was estimated about V
billions less than Truman fore
cast, the new deficit figure was
over G1 billions less than Tru
man's, and the debt predicted
for next June .10 was four billion
dollars under Truman's figure.
Senate Approves
Improvement Bill
For St. Lawrence
WASHINGTON (-The Senate,
after slapping down St. Lawrence
seaway legislation for two decades,
has finally taken a huge step to
wards authorizing the United
States to join Canada in carrying
out the project.
But after an enabling measure
saiied through the Senate last
night on a 51-33 vote, Canadian
government informants raised a
serious question as to whether
their country was still interested
in U. S. participation:
After repeated failure of seaway
legislation in Congress, Canada
undertook to go it alone. In Ottawa
last nignt, government sources
said that country still would push
for an all-Canadian seaway on her
side of the boundary river. The
Canadian government was repre
scnted as feeling that the United
States, spending 105 million dol
lars, would be getting too much ot
a bargain in joint control ot navi
gation and shioDins tolls.
They explained Canada already
has -spent that much on locks and
is prepared to put up 300 million
dollars for navigation facilities.
The bill approved by the Senate
would permit the United States to
join with Canada in cunning a a-foot-deeo
St. Lawrence River chan
nel linking the Great Lakes to the
Atlantic.

Arthur Godfrey's
License Is Held
NEW YORK I The Civil
Aeronautics Administartion (CAA)
has recommended suspension of
Arthur Godfrey s pilot s license
based on a charge of reckless
flying.
Another CAA allegation, that the
radio-TV star's medical clearance
to fly was not in order, was with
drawn provisionally yesterday in
statements here by 'he federal
bureau and its regional adminis
trator, Ora W. Young.
Earlier yesterday in Washington,
the CAA said Godfrey lacked a
valid medical certificate, good for
two years in the case of private
pilots.
Later, in New York, the CAA
said Godfrey had a medical okay
dated last Dec. 15 and another
from October 1952.
To which Young added:
"Apparently, there is nothing
wrong with his medical qualifica
tions. He had the certificates but
had not properly reported them to
Washington nor had he requested
that a CAA certificate be issued
to him."

Student Offers Theory
On Weird Sky Objects
A Roseburg High School student,
Gary Crabb. with the aid of his
father, has come up with a tenta
tive explanation of the weird
lights sighted in the sky last Sun
day by a Ground Observer Corps
spotter at Glide.
The spotter reported to the Port
land Air Force she had seen 12
lights moving rapidly across the
sky without a sound.
The young high school senior
explains them as "astronomical
bodies." He sayj the explanation
is a thin film of fog or clouds
moving across the sky. The rap
idly moving film often makes the
stars appear to be moving.
The young student reports
investigated after he saw the
same thing Sunday niaht. His fath
er offered an able assist.
Xavier Cugat
Claims Kidnap,

HOLLYWOOD tfl Bandleader
Xavier Cugat and his voluptuous
wife, vocalist Abbe Lane, told po
lice they were kidnaped and
robbed of nearly $20,000 in jewelry
and cash last night by a masked
gunman who lay in wait for them
in Cugat's car.
The couple had just finished a
performance at an auto show in
Pan Pacific Auditorium and were
on their way to a movie. As they
rolled slowly out of the parking
lot in Cugat's expensive white
convertible, the bandit rose up
from the back seat. He wore a
white handkerchief over his face
and held a .45 caliber automatic,
Cugat said.
Cugat reported the gunman
made them drive to a parking
area and tlKe took a S9.000 10
karat solitaire and a $2,500; dia
mond wedding ring from Miss
Lane, and a $2,600 wristwatch,
$5,000 diamond ring and $150 in
cash from the bandleader.
The gunman then ordered them
out of the car and cautioned them:
"Keep walking. Don't look back
or I'il drill you." ,
The car was still on the parking
lot when Cugat returned there
with police.
Convicts Fail
In Escape Try
SALEM 11 Four convicts who
failed in an attempt to scale the
prison walls Wednesday night,
were in segregation cells Thurs
day. Their discovery of switches in
the basement of a cellblock appar
ently led to their effort; their mis
taken assumption the switches
would let them flee in darkness
was a chief factor in the failure.
The switches were in a tempor
ary power station installed while
construction was under wav. Thev
controlled only half the prison
lights.
The wall lights and guard tower
lights were blazing brightly when
the four got to a rooftop near the
wall.
From the roof thev tried in throw
a line over the wail. A cable and
hook they had devised failed to
snag as they expected.
So they tried to sneak back to j
their cells but were caught before i
they got there. i

of the program.
The curtain is scheduled to rise
promptly at 8 o'clock in the school
gym Saturday night. Mrs. Mc
Laughlin and Mrs. Mary Morgan
have trained the children in the
vusical interpretation of their Toy
land Fantasy: Mrs. Robert Peters
has charge of the costuming and
Mrs. Georse Mazon will preside
at the Hammond organ for the
"March of the Painted Dolls" as
they come onto the scene.
The local Hay Hands quartet and
a square dance group will provide
some interesting numbers on the
program ana a surprise ijumuei,
"Home Sweet Home" is also
promised.
The Roseburg Presbyterian
Church Choir under the direction
of the Rev. Karl Beilstein has
consented to come to the Valley
and assiJt with the program. They
will appear in three numbers:
"God So Loved the V rid" by
Staincr: "No Candle was There'
by Lehman, and "To Thee We
Sing" by Pakach.
Th Roseburg Barber Shop Chor
us, directed by Chuck Ricketts,
will conclude the program with
an hour of vocal and comedy
numbers.
The local chairman has announc
ed that there will be no admission
charge and that refreshments will
be served at the conclusion of the
program. An opportunity will be
offered for freewill contributions
to the March of Dimes Fund and
remembering the Valley-wide in
terest and handsome offering con
tributed to the fund last year, the
management is confident that
Lookingglass will rally to the cause
this year with a capacity house
for the splendid program provided
?nd a worthy contribution to the
fund. Due to the verv general
participation in the March of
Dimes program and to the difficul
ties presented by carrving out the
official "Mother's March of
Dimes", this part of the county
program will not be held this
year, but a house-to-house canvas
is contemplated in the near future.
To assist the refreshment com
mittee for Saturday nieht's pro
gram, all ladies of the Valley are
requested to bring some small
