The announcement of President
Truman of a plan for reorganiz
ing the Internal Revenue Bureau
may be his answer to the criti
cism of scandals in his Adminis
tration. Since Judge Thomas F.
Murphy bowed out of the scene
as the man with broom and shovel
for a Washington clean-up no
wort! has come of a special com
mission or a special attorney to
do the job. The President may just
let that idea wash out and sub
stitute this form of direct action.
One must admit that his pro
gram for the Internal Revenue
Bureau is sweeping. All 84 offices
of collectors of internal revenue
are to be wiped out and replaced
by 25 district offices with assist
ant commissioners in charge who
will be under civil service. The
President will be the commission
er. An inspection service will op
erate independent of the bureau.
The plan will be submitted to
Congress under the general law
for reorganizing of administrative
departments. Unless the House or
Senate negatives the proposal in
60 days It will go into effect There
may be some grumbling among
members of congress because the
collectorships have always been
matters of political patronage
which they will hate to lose. Such
is the stir for reform of the In
ternal Revenue Bureau however,
it is doubtful if either House of
Cpngress will have nerve to reject
the President's plan.
While this reorganization will
take much of the heat off this
arm of government congressional
investigating committees may turn
their bloodhounds on other agen
cies. Considered ripe fields.

British Tug
To Aid Captain
In Ser Battle"
LONDON MVThe British tug
Turmoil reached the side of the
helpless Flying Enterprise in the
night Thursday, but darkness and
the ship's lurching delayed at least
until dawn the fastening of the
tow lines that will help Capt. Kurt
C arisen win his lone battle against
the Atlantic.
At daylight, the tug will try to
get men aboard the Enterprise to
fasten the lines, the tug's master
reported to London.
Three times the Turmoil fired
lines to Carlsen, who has been
clinging to the deck of the Flying
Enterprise for six day's and six
nights since she was crippled by
an Atlantic storm. And three times
Carlsen, clinging to a support with
one hand and trying to. catch the
line with the other, failed because
of the 60-degree list and the lurch
ing of the freighter.
Eyewitnesses reported that the
freighter, though listing badly and
aown sugnuy at tne head, was
riding steadily in the sharply roll
ing waters about 300 miles off
West England's southern tip.
The U. S. destroyer Weeks re
ported the 37-year-old Carlsen,
who had refused to leave his ship
and its rich 2,650-ton general car
go, was "very cheerful and grate
ful' for offers of help but de
termined to remain aboard until
the vessel reaches port.
That port will be Falmouth,
Eng., if good weather prevails.
Navy information was that the
Atlantic in the area was moderat
ing at midnight and the wind had
dropped to about 25 miles an hour.

DeSalle said the order is not yet
in final form and Could not . say
when it might be issued. It was
drafted on stand-by; basis at the
end of the year when; potato prices
continued a sharp climb that be
gan in September, j
The ;iive Congress- members in
the delegation proposing the freeze
at present prices were: Senators

Undecided on Level
DiSalle saM that in working out
the order, the question is whether
ceilings will be set at present
prices pr at slightly rlower levels.
In any case another OPS official
said that the ceilings will be high
enough to allow for such costs as
handling, packaging and market

89 cents per bushel compared with

DeSalle said that in event OPS
decided to go along with the freeze
proposal, It would apply to prices
at the various levels throughout
production areas. Before reaching
a decision, he said that he wanted
to review figures completely and
determine whether anything can
be accomplished by calling in the

armistice negotiations and methods
to relax world tensions.
In ..a speech, . Soviet ..Foreign
Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky hint
ed ominously at events to come in
Southeast lAsia. He accused the
i uniiea btates or preparing ag
gressive measures against Red
China along her southern borders.
Denounce Charges
Washington officials denounced
as false Vishinsky's charge that the
Americans are transporting Na
tionalist Chinese troops from For-
m o s a to countries bordering
Southern China.
The surprise Russian proposal
for a Security Council meeting
was quickly rejected by American
sources here and in.; Washington.
Diplomatic authorities in Wash
ington . said such a session
where Russia would have a veto
would worsen the prospect of
peace in Korea by bringing politi
cal issues into the armistice ne
gotiations.
Seen ai Warning
Some delegates construed VI
shinsky's speech to the 60-nation
Political Committee meeting as a
warning that Communist China
may use the charges of U. S. ag
gression to launch new military
action on her southern flank.
"These illegal flangrantly il

Steelmen May
Comply
With
No Strike Bid
ATLANTIC CITY (President
Truman asked the CIO Steei-
workers anew Thursday to cancel
any steel strike plans, and the un
ion gave every indication it will
comply.
A message from Mr. T rumen ad
dressed to "Dear Phil" Murray,
head of the CIO and the Steel
woikers Union, was read to a specially-summoned
union convention
empowered to act on strike plans.
Recommendation Near
Murray was reported ready to
recommend that the nearly 3,000
delegates erase the walkout threat.
It was considered certain the con
vention would follow Murray's
wish, at least until the Wage Stab
ilization Board suggests a com
promise solution to the union's
unsettled wage demands.
Murray's recommendation on
what course the union should take,
and the convention action on that
recommendation, was put over
until Friday's final session.
Criticize Industry
For more than three hours con
vention delegates, one after an
other, arose to criticize sharply in
dustry bargaining tactics.
Individual delegates gaining the
floor said they were willing to
"hit the bricks," or strike, but felt
it would be best to avoid a walk
out now as Mr. Truman has asked
and see what the WSB decides.

Gambling Tax Collects Trickle;
Flood of Money Still to Arrive
By The Associated Press
The new tax on gambling is
sending a trickle of cash into the
U. S. Treasury but it is too early
to say whether the trickle will
swell to a big flow.
An Associated Press survey dis
closed Thursday that the govern
ment has taken in more than $265,
000, but. most of the registered
Betting parlors are still to be heard
from, not to speak of the unregis
tered ones.
The $265,000 figure Is based- on
incomplete reports from about half
the 48 states. Since the levy is "10
per cent,' the $265,000 represents
about $2,650,000 in bets made oh
horse races, punchboards and otv
er gambles since the law went into
effect Nor. 1.
Ifs good bet, however, that
the figure is a drop In the bucket
compared to what has been, wag
ered around the country in the

Nine Rescued
From Drifts
Nine persons were rescued from

Wolf Creek Pass after Colorado
State Highway crews battled
through a new, heavy snowstorm
late Thursday on foot.
The nine persons, including two
children, had been locked by snow
in the shelter house on the west
side of the pass since Sunday.
The new storm and record
breaking sub-zero temperatures
hampered the rescue operations
and stalled highway crews.
one thing. And only a scattering
of the gamblers who registered
and bought the occupational tax
stamps, have thus far paid any
taxes.
The tax is 10 per cent of the
"handle" that is, 10 per cent of
the gambler's gross business. Re
turns are required monthly.
When the law was passed by
Congress last fall its backers est!
mated it would yield 400 million
dollars a year. .
Many gamblers, it has been re
ported, have been squeezed out of
business at least temporarily. Their
dilemma is this: if they registered
and exposed themselves as gam
blers they were liable to prosecu
tion under local anti - gambit, g
laws; if they refused to register
they would be violating federal
tax laws.

A total of 350 gamblers filed re

the Northwest was plagued by
snow and ice.
Officially Salem's snow amount
ed to .6 of an inch but depths
ranged from a half to several
inches from a storm which started
early Thursday. Rising tempera
tures and a heavy downpour,
which brought the precipitation
total to .61 of an inch by 10:30
pjn., had completely erased the
snow on the level.
Snow continued to fall In sur
rounding areas, especially at high

over most of the Northwest by the
week end.
More Rain Expected
Salem forecast calls for warmer
temperatures and rain or mixed
snow and rain today.
More than an inch of snow was
reported in Keizer and more in
hill areas immediately surround
ing Salem.
On the outskirts of Dallas the
temperature dropped to 14 de
grees early Thursday on the offi
cial thermometer at the Polk-Benton
Forestry station. It was still
snowing hard there at 5 p.m. with
four inches on the ground.
Biggest snow depth reoorted in
Polk County was "over four feet" I
at Riley Peak, some two miles
northwest of Valsetz.
Snow in Santiam Area
In the Santiam canyon it snowed
all afternoon in the Mehama-Elk-horn
area and residents described
the road up the Little North Fork
as "a sheet of ice" with chains or
equivalent definitely needed.
Schools and school buses were
operating in the area despite sev

Detroit Ranger Station reported
four inches of new snow, falling
off and on since 11a.m. Thurs
day. At 9 p. m., rangers there said
"it looks like it has set in for
a night of steady snowing." Tem
perature at the station then was

Snow continued to fall much of
the night in the Portland area
and in Washington the weather
was blamed for at least three traf

The common-law wife of an Oregon State Penitentiary inmate
was jailed Thursday afternoon on a charge of passing counterfeit

Jackson was sentenced to life

Ships Picked
WASHINGTON OPi The Naw

It announced Thursday that the
13,600-ton heavy cruisers Canber

of the mothball fleet at Bremer
ton, Wash., for conversion into
missile ships.
The Navy thus resumes, with
some changes, a project it started
soon after World War II and she!

posed to use the partially com
pleted 45,000-ton battleship Ken

cruiser Hawaii for missile ships.
However, the missile development
program was not then at a point
which would justify going ahead
and it was decided to postpone
work on the hip hull conversions
Since then, the Navy apparently
has decided that for tactical pur
poses, the faster cruisers would be
more satisfactory. They could

Christmas Hill
In Stiff Battle
SEOUL, Korea MVAllied troops
fighting through intense mortar
and automatic weapons fire in the
predawn darkness Friday retook
the prized Christmas Hill outpost
west of Mundung Valley in East
Central Korea.
Communist forces had occupied
it late Thursdav night after a
surging attack that cut off two
Allied squads.
There was no word of the fate
of the two squads.
Retake Heights
The hill outpost was named be
cause the Reds first attacked and
won It on Christmas Day. The
Allies rewon the height one week
ago after three days of bitter.
see-saw righting.
In the West, Allied troops sup
ported bv tanks in heavy fighting
seized all but one of two knobs of
an important hill outpost which
they lost Dec 28, a U. N. Com
mand staff officer said.
The outpost is west of Korangpo,
which is 30 miles north of Seoul.
Intense Cold Eases
The ground fighting picked up
as the intense cold abated and
temperatures hovered around a
comparatively mild 32 degrees.
An Allied officer said that the
South Korean cleanup of guerrillas
forces south of parallel "6a was
about completed.
In the air war, 15 Allied Super
forts blasted Communist targets
in Northwest Korea and front line
targets Thursday night All re
turned to their Okinawa bases, the

Blast Rail Lines
Planes from the carriers Essex
and Valley Forge made heavy
strikes on Red rail communica
tions Thursday and snapped the
lines in 157 places, a new record
for the war, the Navy announced.
A 20-minute fight between an
undisclosed number of U. S. Sabre
Jets and 30 MIGS over Northwest
Korea resulted in damage to one
of the speedy Russian-built jets.
The action was north of Anju,
near the Yalu River border with
Manchuria.

Raar A dm. R. E. Libby told
