Dec. 17 i.-P) Navy rescue ships raced the tossing North Pacific ocean today to the aid of two disabled army vessels the rud derless drifting tanker El Caney and the partially flooded cargo boat FS-245.

(PSTi tonight by the navy salvage vessel Bolster. The navy fleet tug. the Tekesta. is en route to the aid of the FS-245 which hit a rock near Herbert island in the Aleutians in a storm. It was not known here what time the Te kesta would reach the side of the vessel which has pulled off the rock and proceeded toward Sequam is land to ride out the storm, the 13th naval district headquarters said. Water flooded the chain locker of the FS-245 but the bulkhead was holding. ' The El Caney. a transportation corps tanker, was placed about 415 miles southwest of Adak in the outer Aleutians in a radioed report from the master of the stricken ship. Capt. Ole Svchaug of Seattle and Portland. No Tails, So Landon Out NEW YORK. Dec. 17 tJPi Former Governor Alt M. Landon of Kansas, republican presidential candidate in 1936. was barred from the Metro politan Opera club Monday night because he was not in formal attire. Landon, who was the guest of George A. Sloan, president of the Metropolitan club and chairman of its board of directors, said he "en joyed the opera hugely and all that went with it." After the first act they went to the club, adjoining the auditorium. "Anyway," said Landon, obviously amused by recollection of the situa tion, "I was barred at the door be cause I was not wearing tails. And nothing that George said would change the mind of the men at the door who wore a full dress suit. "I said to George, 'Don't worry about me, for I've been barred be fore from other places because I wasn't wearing tails'."

Dee. 17 iAv The slate supreme court heard arguments to day In the Oregon State Federation of Labor suit to declare Invalid state income tax increases and the 1 per cent witliholdiug tax. The case Is on appeal from the Marlon county circuit court, which ru'ed against the federation, holding both taxes are constitutional. The federation contended the measures were illegal because the legislature made their taking effect dependent upon the defeat of the sales tax bill at the special election twn months ago. The Income tax increases, accom plished by reducing exemptions, were made effective with all Income earned In 1947. The withholding tax would become law next January 1, so a supreme court ruling Is ex pected before that date. The withholding tax would not he a new levy, but would be a credit against regular income taxes.
