Alaska
By FLORENCE JENKINS
The 49th state is the object ot
Interest throughout the nation, but
more particularly to those of us
who live in the Paciiic North
west. The slamor of the goldrush days
lives in verse and story. The Far
North's bounty ot big game has
been tested by numerous residents
of the Klamath Basin and will be
hv manv more. In addition, we all
know individuals or families who
have lived in Alaska or are living
there now.
Transportation to our new state
can be by steamship, highway
travel or air. A trip through the
Inside Passage as far north as
Juneau can be made during a two-
week vacation period and the beau
ty of the scenery is breath
taking. Persons seeking business oppor-
tunitirs in Alaska are advised to
take a look at the area before
moving up there, bag and baggage,
lust in hopes.
. The Portland Chamber of Com
merce is sponsoring its tenth an
nual air tour of Alaska this month
with Baker Ferguson as commit
tee chairman. The tour will leave
Portland on Sunday, April 19 and
return on April 30.
The itinerary calls for stops at
five major Alaskan business cen
ters Fairbanks, Anchorage, Sitka,
Juneau and Ketchikan.
A special feature of this year's
tour will be the scheduling of meet
ings with key federal and state
purchasing officers in Alaska.
Luncheons, dinners and other
sncclal meetings with Alaska busi
ness leaders have been arranged
In each of the five cities.
The tour will be made entirely
by way of scheduled airlines and
reservations at the best hotels in
each of the cities visited will be
confirmed before the start of the
trip.
Weather is normally good along
the Northern Coast this early in
the year.
Maybe the group also will meet

Fat
Women
By HAL BOYLE
. NEW YORK (API-Did Helen
of Troy diet? Did Cleopatra count
her calories?
We are stirred to these ques
tlons by a letter from a reader
with a problem.
The letter:
"Dear Sir:
"Recently you wrote in defense
of fat men. Well, what about fat
women? - '
"My girl friends criticize me
because, according to their stand
ards, I am 40 pounds overweight
But I feel fine and my husband
tays he likes me the way I am.
"Why do people laugh at fat
ladies: What's so funny about
them?"
It was signed: "Fat Lady.'
The answer, of course, is there
Is nothing funny about fat ladles.
, They are delightful. Those who
laugh at fat ladies, like those who
laugh at fat men, are envious
idiots.
They don't know what they are
missing: You should laugh right
back at them, fat lady.
The present vogue for slender
dames is only a passing passion
a fad of the last quarter century.
It was originated by beanpole
male couturiers, many of whom
hate women anyway and do thci
best to make them look ridiculous,
The natural man looks for an
angle in everything in life except
the ladies. But them he instinc
tively prefers In the round.
Tho Turkish sultans, noted con
noisscurs in these matters, filled
their harems with ladies who
were living symbols of padded
plenty.
What about Helen of Troy? Does
anyone think that a Greek, then
or now, would launch a thousand
(hips to go after a married gal
who was built like a fence post
And what about Cleopatra? It
true that she herself rolled up Into
a rug in order to get in to see
Julius Caesar. But that doesn't
argue she was thin. They had
mlghly big carpets In Egypt in
those days.
And who have the most famous
artists and sculptors preferred to
Immortalize in paint and stone
Chubby lasses, almost always. In
the world of the arts from Venus
dl Mllo to Kate Smith and Mary
Margaret McBride the plump
girls have been standouts.-
A skinny dame has no more se
crets than a goldfish. It is the
plump dame who is a dimpled
mystery and holds depths of un
plumbed al: no.

Tax Ilclurns

WASHINGTON (API -Just
how much of a looking over will
the Internal Revenue Service give
my income tax return for 1958?
A lot of people may be wonder
ing that, since the deadline for fil
ing returns is Wednesday.
This year, IRS says, there will
be returns from around 60 million
individuals, 975,000 corporations.
and a million partnerships, plui
million employment tax re
turns, and 3 million returns on
federal excise, alcohol and tobac
co taxes. There will be .260 million
documents involving those re
turns.
That's a lot of looking over for
the 50,000 people employed by IRS
in its nine regional, 64 district,
and 900 branch offices. Of the SO,
000, about 15,500 are auditors but
lot of the others are used in
checking returns. .
In the case of some of the big
gest corporations, IRS. assigns
three to five agents all year
around because they have com
plexitics never dreamed of by an
Last year 2,841,000 returns in
cluding 159,000 from corporations
-were completely checked. This
means more than just checking
the arithmetic. A complete check
means - auditors went over the
books of corporations or the rec
ords of individuals.
This year about 30 million peo
pie will have used the short-form
1040 because they made less than
$10,000 in salary and fitted other
requirements for using this sim
ple return. These get looked over
to see that the exemptions tally.
But they can be run through
electronic computer machines
which not only can determine the
tax but can figure out whether
you overpaid or still owe some
tax.
All those reporting income over
$10,000 not only 'get their arith
metic checked but also get a go

to see whether the return should
be accepted or turned 'over to an
auditor for deeper examination,
The auditing can be done by
calling in the taxpayer for a con
ference or sending an agent

payers, IRS says, only about 1,000

to
his home or office to examine his
records. The 2,841,000 returns au
ditied last year brought the gov
ernment an extra l'i billion dol
lars.
Last year IRS found 1,905,000
errors in making the simple arith
metical check. Of that total, 1,245,
000 taxpayers had made errors in
their own favor. IRS usually tries
to get a delinquent taxpayer to
die a return. If he doesn't, IRS
can file it for him and then set
out to collect.
What happens if IRS audits your
return and then decides you owe
more tax?
You arc notified but you can ap
peal to IRS.
First, through a conference with
the agent who examined your re
turn and with his supervisor. Then
if you are still not convinced, with
special technical advisers who
work in IRS separately (rom the
agents.
If after all this you and the serv
ice still don't agree, IRS will is
sue what is called a statutory no

days you must appeal to the U.S.
tax court or pay up
Suppose you ignore the 90-day
notice, don't appeal, and don't pay
up. IRS presents you with a bill
Then either you pay or IRS will
try to collect by seizing your sal
ary, your car. or other pos
sessions.
Last year IRS issued 73,000 slat
ulory notices. But 66.000 peopl
got them paid up within the
!K-day limit. That led 7,000 to fight
it out in court.

Itcil Juveniles
By WILLIAM L. RYAN
AP Foreign News Analyst
"People's squads" are popping
up in many areas of the Soviet
Union particularly in the non-
Russian republics to crack down
on rising restiveness in the young
er generation.
A steady run of reports about
youthful violence indicates the
Communist party is having serious
trouble keeping Soviet youth un
der its collective thumb. The
items hint of growing discontent
with the central rule in Moscow,
'People's squads" are de
scribed as groups of volunteer
workers banded together for the
protection of the social order. The
squads are told to try persuasion
on violators of the public order.
If that doesn't work, the squads
are to turn offenders over to the
militia. '
A group of 60 such volunteers
was set up in Tiflis, capital of
Stalin's native province, Georgia,
whose sturdy and independent-
minded people long have been a
source of trouble for Moscow.
Groups of about 20 each have
been set up in other towns.
In, Yerevan, capital of Soviet
Armenia, where Dep. Premier A
Mikoyan was born, the party
recently held a conference on
maintenance of public order.
Once again the establishment of
public order" squads was an
nounced. Party emissaries went
to factories and enterprises to ex
plain to workers why the squads
are needed.
In Turkmenistan's capital, Ash-
kabad, whose central Asian peo
ple are another minority under
Great Russian rule, the party
complains about "young drunken
factory workers assaulting and
insulting Soviet citizens in the
street. A people's squad hauled
a clutch of offenders off to . the
local militia.
These published Soviet reports
tend to support rumors from cen
tral Europe that the Russians are
having trouble with their non-Rus
sian republics. There are rumors
ot a resurgence of nationalism in
the republics, particularly in the
Ukraine, a rich breadbasket for
the U.S.S.R. where nationalism
always has been strong.
ported that in 19 years from 1940
through 1958, total state' tax col
lections per person have tripled.
The 1940 average was $25.44. The
1958 average was $87.95, a hike
of $62.51 per head.
That average man with a fam
ily and a jalopy took a beating
those years. The average of
general sales taxes and gross re
ceipts taxes which are passed di
rectly to the consumer increased
in 19 years from $3.83 to $16.61.
Collections from motor fuels, mo
tor vehicles and motor operator's
licenses were up from $9.41 to
$25.52.
Taxpayers are cast this year in
the role usually assigned to them.
They are the interested but in
nocent by-standers who have the
most at stake in a blazing politi
cal dispute about what shall be
done with their money.
President Eisenhower and Con
gressional Democrats are the dis
putants. During the 1938.. election
campaign, Eisenhower tagged the
Democrats as spenders not all of
them, he says now but as spend
ers whose easy way with the tax
payers' -money was sure to keep
the Treasury in the red and to
increase inflation.
This kind of dispute between
Congress and the White House has
been going on for years with the
taxpayer in the middle. Only once
in the past 25 years have a Presi
dent and a Congress pulled to
gether to cut government costs
and to cut taxes. That joint ven
ture took place in the first two
years of the Eisenhower Adminis
tration. Taxes came down and so
did government spending.
In the 1955 fiscal year Eisen
hower spent $64.6 billions. That
was the cheapest -Eisenhower
year. Tax collections, however,
were $4.2 billions- short of paying
the government's hills. The U.S
dollar reacted to that relatively
good showing by reversing
trend. It gained in value in 1955
by two-tenths of one per cent. Not
much, but a gain.

WASHINGTON (UPD-This is a
lough month for the average man
with a family, a bqat-up jalopy
and an income tax to pay.
Taxes and tho high cost of liv
ing cut up the average man into

Dreaded Scourge
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D.
Occasionally during the past
few years there have been seri
ous outbreaks of a highly fatal
diarrhea in newborn infants which
has caused great trouble to the
nurseries ot maternity hospitals.
Attempts to find the cause have
not been notably successful. It is
probable that this kind of epidem
ic diarrhea of infants is a virus
infection, although one or more
germs (bacterial are often pres
ent.
Usually, the infant who is strick
en appears to be healthy and
thriving. Suddenly the child be
comes drowsy and if awakened ut
ters a short weak cry. me tern
perature is not usually high, gen
erally being below 100 degrees,
At about the- same time, or
within a few hours, the baby be
gins to have loose, watery, yel
lowish bowel movements without
any obvious mucus, blood or pus
These watery movements come
more and more frequently.
Especially alarming is the rap
id loss of weight in these tiny
infants, which may be as much
as a pound within the first day.
(This is sometimes one-sixth
the total weight.)
After a brief period the baby
shows signs of having insufficient
fluid in the system and may took
very ill indeed. In severe cases
a baby may die from this disease
within a day or two. As a rule
the disease lasts about a week.
Only about half recover.
Children over four weeks old
and grownups do not seem sus
ceptible to this disease. But once
a case develops in a nursery
spreads rapidly to the infants in
adjoining bassinets. Most of those
who arc likely to catch the dis
ease do so in from two to six
days after exposure.
When epidemic diarrhea breaks
out in a hospital nursery, preven
tive measures have to be begun
at once.
The babies who are well, but
in the nursery at the time, also
have to be isolated and observed
closely for any signs of the dis
ease. Visitors are rigidly exclud
ed during such periods, not only
from the babies who have be
come ill. but also from those who
were exposed. New babies must
not be admitted to the nursery
Treatment has been generally
disappointing. There have been
favorable reports from a few of
the antibiotics, though most
them seem to be Inciteclive.
Apparently fewer epidemics of
diarrhea of the newborn have been
occurring lately than several years
ago. but hospitals and health of
ficials are constantly on guard
against new outbreaks.
