i PAGE SIX British Royalty Hard Hit by Tax Setup, Revealed By Robert Musel London, April 10 wi Kinp. George will probably have lo dig deeper into his public and pri vate purses to help his impover ished relatives alter the labor government introduces its new budget April 18. There doesn't seem much chance that Britain's socialist rul ers will let up on their avowed goal oi redistributing the national wealth. Already the king's sister, the princess royal, has had to open her home to the public at 30 cents admission to get enough money to pay her taxes. Both the Duke of Windsor, brother oi the king, and the Duchess of Kent, the king's sister-in-law, could use a little help. Although neither is broke or ev en badly bent by ordinard stand ards, they would find some extra cash helpful in living in the style to which they are accustomed. ' Allowance Depredates When the Duke of Windsor abandoned the throne in 1937 for love of American Wallis Simp son, he was given an annual al lowance by the king of 125.000. This was worth more than $100, 000 a year then in 1947, but de valuation of the pound and the rise in living costs has almost halved its value. The Duchess of Kent, widow of the king's youngest brother, has no state allowance. Recently she sold many personal possessions. They included a picture which her late husband had given her as a wedding present. The hand some 42-year-old duchess has a small personal income and a mod erate amount from her husband's estate, but she doesn't find it easy to maintain her status as one of the world's best dressed women and raise a son who is seventh In succession to the throne. However, if she faced any real crisis, the king undoubtedly would help her as he already as sists his cousins and other rela tives whose thrones have gone or whose fortunes have dwindled away. For the financial position of the house of Windsor alone is impregnable and its public and private fortunes Dotn are huge. Khiir Pay No Tax The king pays no income tax on the state funds allotted him, about $1,148,000 a year under the current rate of exchange. This . deal was arranged by George III, who lost the American colonies over his lands to the state in return for a guaranteed income. If he had held onto the land, in stead, the family would he get ting $11,200,000 a year, so the country is the gainer. The king, however, voluntarily pays an income tax on his vast private Investments. Other members of the royal family who get a share of pub lic funds are Dowager Queen Mary, $196,000 a year; Prlncpss Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinl burgh, $140,000 a year; the Duke of Gloucester, the king's brother, $98,000 a year, and the Princess Royal, $16,800 a year. All pay taxes, but are allowed special deductions which enable them to keep about 85 per cent of the grants. King George pays all expenses run up by his younger daugh ter, Princess Margaret, hut she will be given an Independent in come of $16,800 a year from pub lic funds starting on her 21st birthday August 21. 1951.

Turner (United I're Staff Ciirr,inrk-nt) Boise, Ida., April 10 Ui'i Ken neth Arnold, the private pilot who made the first report of fly ing saucers, said today he's con vinced there is a definite link be tween them and the mysterious submarines reported off U. S. coastlines. In fact, the Boise businessman wouldn't be surprised if they turned out to be one and the same thing. He agrees with those who think the strange aircraft might be space ships from 'another planet. And he doesn't scoff at reports that "little men" have fled from alleged erackups of flying sau cers in Mexico and southern Cal ifornia. "Who am I to say that no such men exist?" says Arnold. "My mind is always open to anything. I haven't seen anv of the tiny men myself. But I have letters from persons who have seen them. And they're serious per sons, too." Despite this, the air force and even President Truman have re peatedly denied knowing any- Arnold's rnlli'dlnn of flvlnc saucer material includes tape re cordings, photographs, newspa per and magazine clippings and piles of technical data. Ills dully mall Is' crammed with new infor mation from well wishers, cranks and scoffers. Arnold touched off the flying saucer stories neatly three years ago. He claims that all he did was file a "routine- report" when he landed his small private plane at Yakima, Wash., on a balmy Juno day In 1047. Arnold's story of having seen nine peculiar, tail-less aircraft ov er Ml. Kanicr first was told to Al Baxter, general manager of the Central Aircraft company at Yakima. Baxter listened politely to Arnold's story of the amazing speed of the craft, how they flew in a diagonal rlmin-like forma tion, and other details. But Bax ter told his friend frankly that he didn't believe him. "Skim" Through Air "I told the truth then." said Arnold today, "and - I'm telling the truth now. Why I've seen those living discs three times since 1917." Furthermore, the press misquoted me when they said 1 called the objects flying saucers. a i.i i i.n n I,, i the ohl.-cts In flight as appearing I'1' , M' ' tret Cross junior vice to skim through the air like a i V'ysMi-n t: Jessie McDonald, chap . m w!ii..r ii :,i,i ti,..v 1 Alice Rite, guard: Eva wavered somewhat as they flow along.

Hoys Tell Tall One Amarlllo. Tex.. April 10 'IP'. Twelve-year-old David Lightfoot claimed today that he touched a "Hying saucer" and that It sprayed him with a gas Ilia! raised red welts on his face and arm. Convinced Many persons tended to believe that David, as a true son of lex as, might be getting an early start as a teller of tall tales. But his story was backed by his cou sin, Charles Lightfoot, 9. The boys were fishing 10 miles northeast of here Saturday, they said, when something "like a bal loon" sidled over their heads and landed beyond a slight rise. David ran to it. He said it was the size of an auto tire, about 18 inches thick, and curved on the bottom with a top looking like a flat plate. . "The part between the top and the bottom was real red, like it was on fire," he said. The top half was still spinning as he approached. The disc was blue-gray In color and red-hot oth erwise, he said. "I dived for it but my fingers barely touched it," he said. "It was slick like a snak? and plen ty hot." Then the top started spinning faster, "made a whistling noise and took off," he said. It was out of sight In 10 seconds. . He said that as it left the ground, the gadget released a gas or spray which reddened his arm and face and caused small welts. His father applied skin balm which removed the welts, but the redness remained. Charles couldn't run as fast as David but said he was within 100 yards of the object when it took off.

April 10 UP) A seven-year-old girl was in fair condition at a hospital here to day, her life saved attendants said by four railroad men who borrowed a train to bring her 50 miles to a hospital through a spring blizzard. Karen Biem was stricken with pneumonia Saturday at her home In Opheim, 50 miles northwest of here. Highways between Op heim and Scobey were blocked by snow and her physician was afraid she wouldn't live unless she was taken to a hospital. The regular Great Northern train from Wllllston, N. D., ar rived at Opheim Saturday eve ning and Conductor Tom Harmon said a messenger from Karen's doctor met the train, asking if the crew could take the stricken girl to Scobey. Harmon said he contacted the division superintendent at Great Falls and got permission to use the dlesel locomotive and a pas senger car. The crew donated its services. A makeshift section crew volun teered to help turn the train around and operation, Harmon said took two hours because of the storm. A berth was prepared for Karen in the passenger car and the "Karen special" brought the girl and her parents Mr. and Mrs. Biem to Scobey. With Harmon in the crew were Engineer John Patterson and Brakeman Fred Nahlcn and Charles White, all of Opheim. Radio tubes, match-head size, are designed for airplanes uses. face "BrokenOul?
