ALBUQUERQUE (JP) The armed forces are sponsoring a iky
sweeping search for tiny earth moons which might serve man as a
stepping stone to the stars. ji I
If they exist and scientists say they have reason to believe
they do the nearly invisible earth satellites also could be used as
space platforms to liunch missiles in time of war. ,

I see where there is I s fresh
splurge on a fountain pen. It's
the same retractable point pen
dolled up for the carriage trade.
The promotion will give a spurt
to the pen business, however, in
the interval between Christmas,
; scRool opening and Mother's Day.
- Certainly a lot of inventive
genius has gone into the design
of fountain pens. We have
graduated from the old pump
model with the 14k gold pen to
the ball point pen and more re
cently to the snap spring model
that protrudes or retracts the
point For myself I have quit
carrying one of these snap-out
pens found myself nervously
snapping the spring. It js plain
to see how profitable the sale of
this type pen is, however com
pare the cost of a refill with that
of a bottle of ink, and the writ
. ing mileage one gets from each.
The fountain pen is a relative
ly late invention. For instance,
the Scientific American for Feb
ruary in its "100 Years Ago
column quotes from its issue of
that month in 1854:
"Sincd we published remarks
a few weeks ago respecting the
benefits that would be conferred
upon the writing community by
the invention of a jet black pen

have received ; a number of let

do with these their advantages
and disadvantages. being .well

House Group
Passes Cut in
Excise Taxes
WASHINGTON W The House
Ways and Means Committee Wed
nesday brushed aside Eisenhower
administration opposition and ap
proved almost unanimously a bil
lion dollar annual cut in about 20
excise taxes. "
The changes, if finally enacted,
would take effect April l, presum
ably bringing widespread price re
ductions on the articles affected.
Committee Chairman Daniel A
Reed; (R-N.Y.) who sponsored, the
move, said the tax cuts would spur
consumer buying and thus give a
boost to the national economy, now
in a sught dip.
Extends Taxes -
The Reed bill also would extend
indefinitely the present excise or
sales tax on liquor, tobacco, auto
mobiles, : gasoline, trucks and bus
es, and beer - and wine. Cuts in
these Fields, amounting to about
$1,100,000,000 a year, are set, for
April 1 under present laws.
The Reed bill would level off at
10 percent of, all excise or sales
Aaxes now above that figure, ex
cept for liquor and tobacco. Cut
to the 10 per cent figure would be:
The present 25 per cent rate on
long-distance telephone calls.
The 20 per cent retail sales tax
on furs.: jewelry, cosmetics, wom
en s handbags, luggage.
xne zo per cent Excise tax on
events, night clubs, concerts and
other entertainments.
Camera Equipment
The 20 percent excise tax at
the manufacturer's level on
cameras, photographic equipment
and light bulbs.
The 15 per cent manufacturer's
tax on pens, mechanical pencils.
sporting goods, and lighters.
The 15 per cent excise -on rail,
bus and air passenger fares, and
on local telephone bills and domes-
tic telegrams.
In. its voting, the committee de-
tented rnrp nf rr.ntioni bv Dprno.
crats for more and bigger excise '
cut.'Democrata also moved n.!.
successfully to let the $1400.000,000
in reductions already scheduled
April 1 take effect theft. That
would have made the total revenue
loss in the bill more than two bil
lion dollars.

Escapee
Reportedon
Sunset Route
An unidentified McMinnville
at MilwauMe Wednesday evening
motorist reported to state police
that he thought he'd seen ,Kay
Kermit Mansfield, 49 -year-old
prison escapee, hitch-hiking along
the Sunset Highway. j-
Mansfield, who escaped from
the prison Monday afternoon in
a flax truck, has given police! and
penitentiary guards a c h a s e
which led from Salem to Dallas,
north to Dayton and Lafayette
and now, presumably, Portland.
The motorist explained his ex
perience this way: j
He was driving along the Sun
set Highway near the Cannon
Beach junction at about 5:30 p.m.
Wednesday and was stopped for
traffic. A bareheaded bitch-hiker,
wearing levi trousers, sweat-shirt
and carrying a papef bag under
one arm. thrust his face to. the
passenger window of the car and
asked for a ride.
The man told police he took
one look at him and didn't pick
him up because "I didn't like his
looks." He noted that a blue 1949
Plymouth station wagon stopped
and the hitch-hiker got in. When
last seen the car was heading for
Portland. Almost four hours la
ter the man began thinking about
the experience and upon hearing
a description of Mansiieia, ne
called police. j
The elusive escapee was iden
tified as a Tuesday night patron
of a Lafayette coffee shop. Wed
nesday a woman in Verrionia
called police to report she'd been
a man answering his description
in that town. State police at! Mil
waukee, now in charge ofi the
search, told The Statesman Wed
nesday night that, with a four
hour start, it waa hard to tell
where he might be now.
The prisoner was serving a to
tal of 40 years on three charges
of rape, assault with attempt to
rape and burglary int Marion
County. He was sentencea in
September, 1852. . 1

To Zwicker
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL
WASHINGTON (Jt 1 President
Eisenhower spoke out aeainst "dis
regard of fair i play Wednesday
in words aimed unmistakably at
Senator McCarthy (R-Wis.)
And in . upholding the military
services as "completely lovaL" Ei
senhower paid specific j tribute to
oen. Ralph W. Zwicker, the be
medalled war hero McCarthy ac
cused of being unfit to command.
The President had his say in a
formal news conference statement
McCarthy bounced back one of his
own an hour later. Nj "
if a stupid, arrogant or witless
man -in a position of power, ap
pears before our committee ' and
is found aiding the Communist"
Party," the senator said, "he will
be exposed. The fact that be might
be a general places him in no spe
cial class so far 'as I am con
cerned." i !'.
Another Round '! .
It was another round in the ruck
us that explodedwithin the Re- .
publican Party 11 davsT in when
Secretary of the Army Stevens
cnauengea McCarthy's t treatment
of Zwicker as humiliating and
abusive. ; i -
The senator had Questioned the
general secretly about the promo--
uon-ana honorable discharge of
Maj. Irving Peress. an Army den
tist McCarthy said Peress should
De court-martianed for refusing to
say whether he had Communist
connections. Zwicker said be mere
ly was carrying out orders from
superiors , in granting Peress an
honorable discharge. ' 1 v
sw-wrd Statement 1 I
After McCarthy told Zwicker he
wasn't , fit to command, the gener
al complained to Stevens. Stevens .
picked up the cudgel,! and the bat-
ue was on. And at his first news
conference since it began, Eisen
hower was ready with an 800-word
prepared statement !
In"it the President conceded, as
Stevens had done before, that "the
Department of the Army made se
rious errors in handling the Peress
case." . , j -- t : ;
Procedures are being! corrected,
Eisenhower said,, to avoid such ,
mistakes In the future.; '
-Bat he alto taJd that bfficiali in
the executive branch "will have
my unqualified ' support'; insisting
that employes c appearing before
any executive or congressional in
vestigation "be treated fairly.
Protests Methods - j
"In opposing Communism,' the
President said, 4 "we are defeating "
ourselves if either by design or
through-carelessness, we use meth
ods that do not 'conform to the
American sense of justice and fair
Play." ! f -
' The vital domestic and foreign
problems facing the nation, Eisen
hower said, deserve undivided, in

ment saying:
''Apparently the President and
now agree on the necessity of
getting rid of Communists. We ap
parently disagree only" en how we
snouid handle those . who protect
Communists." : i
Later on, McCarthy asked news
men to take out the "now" in the
