Navy Braved Mine Danger ROMF, Ml The U.S. 6lh Fleet whlrh evacuated 1.200 civilian men, women nnd children from Alexandria, Egypt, earlier this month moved through wnters which Navy men thought might have been mined. Authoritative American sources now believe these fears stemmed from a de liberate Fgyptinn effort to mis lead. The Navy went ahead with the evacuation because of the urgent need to get the refugees, most of them American, out of the battle area. Two Kgyptian minesweep ers finally sailed ahead of the! ships alter U.S. authorities insist ed. Egyptian government officials had told American officials in F.gypt they had been advised bv the British that Alexandria har bor was mined. No mines were encountered. and American sources now spec ulate the Egyptians hoped the U.S. ships would remain In Alex andria Harbor because Ihelr pres ence might prevent British bom bers from attacking the city, or because they thought the mine threat might harm U.S.-British relations.

A congressional appropriation will pay for that. The IMS inaugural cost about $700,000 and inaugural ball tickets that year were $12 each. Fleming said the added cost would prob ably put them up to $15 for next year. The committee, meeting formal ly for the first time, decided also to picture both Eisenhower and Nixon, side by side, on the inaug ural medal, a two-inch bronz disc. Past inaugural medals have car ried only the likeness of the Pres ident. Fleming said the inaugural pa rade will be much shorter than the 4'i-hour line of march in 1953 but will still be a "colorful, ade quate and interesting parade." To help keep it moving, the committee arranged for television monitoring at various points so the parade marshals can keep track of each unit and dispatch jeeps by 'radio to speed up any laggards. . ' 7:15-9:45 Gas Rationing Hushes Paris Traffic Roar City Like Big Open-Air Garage as More and More Tanks Dry By GODFREY ANDERSON PARIS Ifi-Thc roar of Paris traffic was stilled almost to a hush today as the full effect of gasoline rationing hit French mo torists. The city looks like a vast open air garage, with thousands of automobiles parked along the streets. A decreasing number of the cars move from the curbs as more tanks run dry. The French Cabinet Tuesday or dered a gasoline ration ranging from about five gallons to nearly eight gallons a month, depending on the ,size of the car. Most French cars, much smaller than (hose in America, can do better than 120 miles on this. But it still means much more walking or bi cycling. Everyone grumbles. The motor ists because they can't get enough gas. The service stations because they aren't being paid for the extra clerical work that rationing requires. The French system requires every driver to register at a gas station near his home. He may not buy gas any place else.- No tickets are issued to prevent their black market sale and the ration must go directly in the tank. No cans may be filled. The amount Issued is stamped by the garage on the back of the auto mobile's log. . Special tickets were given yes terday to'hundrcds of foreign tour ists stranded along the French Ri viera by the past week's shortage. They can buy just enough gas to get them to the frontiers. Here and there farmers dug out old charcoal-burning units which kept their vehicles moving during the war. 3 Executed in Electric Chair EDDYVILLE, Ky.

Labor to Buck Interim Unit's Tax Proposals CORVALLIS UPl Labor will oppose the Legislative Interim Tax Study Committee's tax pro gram, George Brown, director of the state labor council's political! education department, said Thurs day. Speaking at. the Oregon Tax Conference, a yearly meeting -sponsored by the state Tax Com mission and Oregon Stale College, Brown said the income tax, not the sales tax, is the solution to the state's financial problems. - The committee's program, out lined by members at the meeting, calls for a 3 per cent sales tax, repeal of the per cent surtax on the income, a refund of Ihe 1850 surtax and a high-exemption income tax. Brown said labor agreed that the surtax should be repealed. But he said -he was opposed to the refund and he called for a return lo a $600 income lax exemption rather than the present $500. He also urged better "policing" of personal properly taxes, estab lishment of a severance tax on oil, gas and minerals, and estab lishment of a homestead exemp tion for retired persons 65 years old or more. Brown said that federal aid to education would help solve the state's financial difficulties. Other speakers at the meeting were state Sens. John P. Hounsell, Hood River, and Lee V. Ohmart, Salem, and Reps. Charles Tom, Ruftis; Edwin E. Cone, Eugene; and Wayne R. Giesy, Monroe.
