Opposed By Army Group
WASHINGTON UPI - The
Association of the U.S. Army was
on record today in opposition to
any transfer of Army missile sci
entists to tho new civilian space
agency.
The association's annual meet
ing, attended by 2,700 civilian and
military supporters of the Army,
called on President Eisenhower in
a resolution to thwart the pro-
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration. Other resolutions adopted
Wednesday included a demand

The exact form of the NASA
has not been disclosed officially
But it was understood NASA chief
T. Keith (ilennan told Army Sec
retary Wilber M. Brucker he
would like to take over 2,100
German-led scientists and tech

the Army Ballistic Missile Agcn
cy, liuntsvillc, Ala.
Glennan also was said to have
proposed taking over the Jet Pro

Institute of Technology at Pasa
dena which now does satellite and
missile work for liuntsvillc.
However, Glennan was under
stood to have toned down his pro
posals in a recent letter to De
fense Secretary Neil II. McElroy.
The Army team has launched
America's Explorer satellites and
developed the licdstone and Ju
piter ballistic missiles. Both gen
erals hinted they thought inter
service rivalry as well as mili
tary-civilian competition figured
in tne NASA proposal.

Two 18-year-old Army privates
from Klamath Falls, both home

of basic training at Ft. Ord, were
taken to Lakeview Hospital Mon
day afternoon, after a car acci
dent a half mile from the summit
of Quartz Mountain.
Donald Collins, son of Mrs. John
Quigley. had Gary Grimes, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. Grimes,
as his passenger on a hunting trip
when Ihe accident occurred. Col
lins reportedly told state police
that his car apparently went off
the road when he fell asleep at
the wheel.
The youths were taken to Lake-

federal tax claim that he owes
$139,938 in unpaid taxes for 1952
and 19o3.
As MacRae explained the finan
cial deal which the government
has branded as "a financial mer
ry-go- round in a preconceived
plan entered into solely for in
come tax purposes," ho did little
more than sit back and let the
money roll in.
Late in 1952, MacRae said, at
torney Samuel Norton of Beverly
inns askea mm now ne a like to
buy one million dollars in U.S
Treasury notes.
"I said, 'Sure but where do 1
get one million dollars?' " Mac
Hae testified. "He said I could
borrow the money and I asked
him where in the world I could
find someone to loan me that
much.
"He said he had a broker who
would do it and assume the risk.
He said I might profit by buying
the government bonds and, in any
event, it would benefit my income
tax.
"So I told him to go ahead,
MacRae said.
MacRae, who said he had
earned "between $200,000 to $300,-
000" in the years from 1951 to
1953, explained that he and his
associates bought five million dol
lars in government bonds and se
curities since 1952 and that the
holdings returned 4 per cent in
terest. The money, he said, was bor
rowed at 3 per cent interest from
Jack Bernstein of New York, head
of Gibralter Enterprises Inc.,
which in turn had borrowed the
money at n per cent interest
from an undisclosed source.
The singer testified ho was able
to list the 1 per cent earnings
from the holdings as capital gains
which he said was taxable at only
25 per cent compared with the
95 per cent in taxes he was pay
ing on his personal income.
Mark Townsend. chief counsel
for Internal Revenue, said the
government would attempt to
prove that no securities chanced
hands in the deal which he
charged was nothing more than
a "paper deal."
The singer's case, one of sev
eral hundred to he tried here, was
to continue today.

$300,000 in this year of Michigan
recession and unemployment. The
fund supports all activities of the
Michigan Ai'L-CIO.
Even so, the end political re
sult of this lew on union mem
bers should arouse- the envy of
Republican campaign fund rais
ers, perhaps causing them to
wish they could lay a head tax
of even a nickel a month on
somebody. They cannot do that
Neither can the heads ot tne
great corporations lay a head tax
of even one cent per month on
their stockholders, or employes, a
device which, if feasible, would
raise funds beyond relief to be
available for expenditure for pur-
Doses of Dolitical education.
Ihe Republicans and some 01
the managers of the great cor
porations are accusing big labor
ot having politically kidnaped tne
state of Michigan, bpeciticaiiy,
they charge that the kidnaper
was Walter P. Reuther. The man
in charge of big labor politics in
Michigan, however, is August
Scholle, president of the Michi
gan AFL-C10 Council, bcnoiie nas
Reuther's active support, of
course, else he could not be so
sure of collecting that head tax.
In response to questions from
United Press International,
Scholle said that only about
... ,w i it,. mn nnn the head
tax will raise this year could be
cited as political expenditures.
His phrase was "lor cuu.

field."
This sum is spent, Scholle said,
mainly for printing circulars al
though occasionally the council,
i,,, ..nmompnt will oermit a poli
tical candidate to have something
printed and the council will pay
kin This instead of ordering
the printing on its own. Scholle
estimates that about $10,000 has
been spent so far this year to
pay bills for printing ordered by
candidates.
The AFL-CIO Council received
about $14,000 this year, according
to Scholle, from the international
union treasury. This money, he
said, was contributed voluntarily
hv union members and has been
contributed to the campaign funds
of the politicians the givers ia-vored.
Scholle said everything the AFL
CIO council does in the political
area is both legally and morally
right. He emphasized mat any
union member who docs not want
any portion of his dues to go for
the political purposes decided upon
by the council may specify that
his portion shall go to any chanty
hit
or political organization of
choice.
That, in brief, is the way bis

cesses have Decn tne most re
markable. It may be assumed
that Big Business could do the
same if big business, like big la.
bor, had a membership constituen
cy which was accustomed to pay
ing monthly dues and, moreover,
accustomed to having its leaders
engage deeply in local and nation
al politics.
The law apparently would for
bid either big business or big la
bor to "contribute" to political
parties or to political candidates.
The law at one time forbade, also,
political "expenditures," but the
Supreme Court declared that pro
hibition to be unconstitutional.
The distinction between contri
butions and expenditures may
seem to a layman to be a bit
fuzzv, but it is the law.

Two lengthy meetings, devoted

ments on Washburn Way, although
the court emphasized the talks
were most preliminary. City offi
cials present were City Manager

J. Slater and Cliff Sanders, acting
city engineer.
An earlier session was held with
six representatives of the Stewart
Lenox and West Mamath additions
who are looking for five or 20
acres ot ground for a playground

The court also learned that the
Bureau of Indian Affairs office in
Washington has decided that its

would consign rock and cinder
pits on the Klamath Indian Reser
vation to the county, which soon
will take over certain reservation
