Some Tax Relief Seen on Way With Agreement on New Bill Washington (UPD Some tax relief was on the way today for small businessmen, theatergoers, sports fans, whisky-makers, and parochial schools. But heavier levies will soon be imposed on others, includ ing buyers of record players. These are among the mil lions of taxpayers and con sumers whose pocketbooks will be affected by a vast, technical overhaul of excise and income taxes on which a Senate-House conference com mittee reached agreement Wednesday night. The two compromise bills, 'reconciling differences be tween Senate and House bills will together produce a net loss of about 300 million dol lars a year in federal revenue. 1 The bul revising excise taxes about 400 pages thick was slated for final House approval today. It would trim about 42 million dollars from the nearly 10 billion dollars, which the feredal government collects annually from taxes on the manufacture and sale of goods and services. Quick congressional approv al also was assured for the sec ond bill containing numerous changes in income tax laws. Its principal feature is a 260 million dollar program to ben efit small business. The bill also would plug up loopholes for some taxpayers and create new tax advantages for oth ers. , Congressional tax experts said both bills were assured of the President's signature. " Among its many provisions the bulky excise tax bill would: Cut 10 cents off the tax on admissions to theater, movies, baseball and football games and other sporting events and entertainment cost ing $1.00 or more. Older Whisky Coming . Alter the drinking habits of many Americans by putting on the market for the first time American whisky which has been aged longer than eight years. Present law makes this prohibitively ex pensive because it requires that whisky-makers must pay the $10.50 a gallon tax on ag- , ing liquor whenever it be- guinea cigiii. j'caia uiu Exempt parochial and other nonprofit schools or col leges from payment of excise taxes on goods they buy or on their telephone or trans portation services. The tax savings, amounting to three million dollars a year, would -take effect next July 1. jx Impose a new 10 per cent tax on record players and a new 5 per cent tax on oil and gas operated incinerators. Repeal the 20 per cent tax on club dues and initiation fees of members of commun ity swimming pools and ice and roller skating rinks, re troactive to last Jan. 1. The' income tax revision bill contained a five-point pro gram of tax relief for small business, of which the main benefit was a more liberal al lowance for depreciation.

At Hie iom time it will eret new problems for mony drivers, one of the moit im portant of which is to stay alert while driving mile after mile on brood, straight, level roadway. The constant purr of the engine, hum of the tires, same neit of the scenery, and general monotony can bring about a sub-alert state in drivers known as "highway hypnosis."

Navy Reports Submarine Route May Be Ice Blocked Sometimes Washington (UPD The Navy indicated today the new submarine route under the North Pole may be blocked by shifting ice part of the year. "The entrance to the Bar row sea valley, leading from Point Barrow, Alaska, into the true Arctic basin, is only four or five miles wide and very restrictive," the Navy said in reply to questions posed by United Press Inter national. "During the Arctic winter this 'lead' would be more dif ficult to penetrate due to shifting ice conditions." The Navy did not answer directly a question whether the USS Nautilus, prior to its successful . voyage under the North Pole Aug. 3, had been turned back in a previous at tempt by an 80-foot-thick wall of ice. Such reports orig inated in letters home by crewmen of the nuclear powered submarine. Picked With Care But the Navy made it clear the time for the Nautilus' suc cessful voyage was selected with care. The USS Skate became the second nuclear submarine to cruise under the North Pole Monday while exploring undersea routes beneath the ice cap. The Navy said the Nautilus sailed from Seattle, Wash., last June 8 to explore ice con ditions and make preliminary under-ice excursions in the Bering Straits and Chuckhee Sea "to determine feasibility of a cruise all the way across the polar basin." "Following these prelimi nary investigations, Nautilus returned to make the first visit of a nuclear-powered submarine to Pearl Harbor. While the ship was in Pearl Harbor, the Navy conducted a series of aerial reconnais sance flights to keep a check on ice conditions to determ ine the optimum time for the departure from Pearl Harbor, July 23, for the first trans polar crossing." Seeks Endurance Record The Navy said security would not permit releasing information concerning "con clusions as to the practica bility of a trans-polar sub marine cruise at any given time of year." Meantime, the Navy an nounced Wednesday the atom ic submarine Seawolf was conducting "environmental atmospheric control tests" in the Atlantic that will keep it submerged for long periods of time. It hinted the Seawolf may break the previous submerged endurance record of 31 days, five hours, held by the Skate. Air Force Captain Injured As Balloon Crashes in Pasture Ashland, Wis. (UPD An Air Force captain preparing for a space exploration flight and his civilian instructor were hospitalized today with serious injuries received when their open gondola balloon crashed in a pasture. Portland Television Station Planned 4 Portland (UPD Officials of Trans-Video company of Oregon said here today they hope to activate television channel 27 in Portland with 20,000 watts by the end of this year. Wally Matson, co-owner of the firm, said an application has been filed with the Port land city council for permis sion to alter an existing trans mitter station and erect a 248 foot tower on Healy Heights. Matson said. plans for the new station hinged on appro val of the permit and accep tance of revised construction plans by the Federal Com munications commission. The Portland planning commission said in a report to the council that it could not recommend erection of the Healy Heights tower unless de-icing equipment is included to prevent formation of ice on any part of the tower. Capt. Grover D. Schock, 32, Galesburg, 111., was mak ing his first balloon flight, and Otto Winzen, Minneapo lis, developer of the balloon, were returning to earth after a test flight Wednesday night when the gondola plunged about 125 feet to the ground near Lake Superior. Schock was reported in ser ious to critical condition to day at St. Joseph's hospital here with possible leg and in ternal injuries. Winzen was in serious condition with a broken arm, two broken ribs and back injuries. Sealed in Gondola Schock was to have been sealed in a pressurized gon dola Friday for a solo balloon flight 20 miles above the earth under conditions simu lating those of a manned space trip. The experimental flight was designed to test human reactions to SDace ex- ! ploration. iuitc uiuuiais saia inai Schock and Winzen were ap proaching a landing in strong winds after about 12 hours aloft when something went wrong.
