Ship Wallows
On Shoal
OCEAN CITV, Md. (AP)-Both
section of Libcrian tanker.
which broke in two off the Atlan
tic coast, wallowed today on the
shoal where she apparently went
aground.
Forty-five crewmen of the 500
foot African Queen were whisked
to. safety by helicopter over surg
ing seas Tuesday 10 miles east
southeast of this resort city.
Some of the oil the 13.600-ton
ship was bringing from Venezuela
to Paulsboro, N.J., was highly ex
plosive but the only casualty was
a crewman who suffered a bump
on the head.
"I knew the situation was des
perate." said the Norwegian skip
per, Capt. Kia Danielsen, a tall,
ruddy-faced veteran of 27 years at
sea.
"I was afraid at any minute
the ship would catch fire. We
stopped all smoking, shut down the
boilers and put out the lights.
"Luckily, the ship broke ahead
of the midships section. If it had
been further astern, there would
have been casualties.
Danielsen, 43, and his chief of
ficer Joreen Joreensen, 47, stayed
aboard for a time after the crew
was saved. Then they were taken
off by boat.
- Minutes after the tanker flashed
distress signal, a Navy plane
found her. Nine helicopters flew
in. The fast-paced rescue opera
tion was directed by the Coast
Guard.
CaDt. Danielsen made no men
tlon of what might have caused
the vessel to break up or why
she was so near the shoreline.

from horse racing and $121,886
from gate admissions.
"Subsequent fairs will profit,"
the commission said, "What was
basically inadequate was made
usable and ; workable. What was
desperately needed was construct
ed. What had been shabby, dull
and uninviting was freshened up
and brightened up and made ap
pealing." The commission reported that
' higher premiums led to the larg

Major improvements, it said,
included the remodeled Jtiflior

Federal Aviation Agency

WASHINGTON (AP) The
Civil Aeronautics Administration
vanished today lrom the aviation
scene it long has dominated. It
merged quietly into the swiftly
expanding new Federal Aviation
Agency.
FAA also absorbed an import
ant segment of the CAA's com
panion agency, the Civil Aero
nautics Board, by taking over the
rule-making functions of the CAB's
Bureau of Safety.
The transition marked the as
sembly for the first time of all
the major elements of the over
all agency ordered by Congress
last fall to take over the reins of
civil and military flying.

State Legislators Agree
California Tax Hike Due
SACRAMENTO (UPI) - Most
California legislators agreed today
it probably will be necessary to
vote new or higher state taxes.
Faced with a deficit that may
amount to as much as 250 million
dollars, a majority of members of
the Assembly and Senate feel a
tax increase is unavoidable.
A United Press International
poll of the 120 members, made a
few days before the crucial 1953
session convenes Jan. 5, indicated
a new tax on tobacco is a dis
tinct possibility. Increases also
may be voted in liquor, beer,
horse racing, personal income
and bank corporation and fran
chise taxes.
The UPI poll posed 50 questions
to the lawmakers. On only one
was there too per cent agreement.
That was "do you see any chance
of a major tax reduction?"
Not a single one of the 70-odd
legislators who replied to the ques
tionnaire gave a "yes" answer to
the question.

Boa Constrictor
PORTLAND (AP) The big
snake reared out of the truck load
of bananas and looked driver Her
gert right in the eye.
Hergert looked, too, but not for
long. He grabbed a club, chased
the five-foot-long snake through
the big van and killed it.
The snake appeared to be a boa
constrictor.
Hergert had brought the 15,000
pounds of bananas here from
Seattle.

"Are you dreaming. Jim?" was
the response of Sen. Hugh Burns,
Senate president pro tempore.
By a ratio of better than -l
the lawmakers said they feel it
will be necessary to levy new or
higher taxes hi 1959. By an al
most Identical ratio, they said
they will vote for a tobacco tax
and indicated a 3-cent levy on
each pack of cigarettes as the
probable amount.
Assemblyman Don A. Allen Sr.
(D-Los Angeles) summed up the
legislators' feelings about what
will be the most important Issue
in the session by saying:
"Taxes, taxes, taxes!'.'
Allen said ne feels the stats
should vote a 6-cent cigarette tax
and split the proceeds with the
state keeping 4 cents, cities get
ting a penny and counties a pen
ny of the new revenue.
The legislators were asked If
they favored taking the 150 mil
lion dollar tidelands oil royalties
fund and using it to help offset
the expected deficit; This question
provoked an almost even division
of opinion with the dissenters say
ing the tidelands money should be
spent for water development and
not dissipated by paying day to
day costs of government.
By a 3-1 vote, the legislators
said they opposed any effort to
lower or repeal the property tax
exemption now granted war vet-
e r a n s. However, Assemblyman
Harold K. Levering (R-Los Angeles)-
said he thought the exemp
tion should be limited to. a fixed
period of time after which "vet
erans would cease to be veterans
and become citizens and pay taxes
along with the rest of the citi
zens." A final question in the field of
taxation and revenue was whether
the lawmakers would favor legal
ized gambling or a state lottery as
a means of generating new rev
enue. -
Only 10 of the 70 legislators who
answered the poll said they would
vote for such a proposal.
