It will include a multi- billion dollar excess profits tax. By overwhelming votes, Congress yesterday passed and sent to Presi- dent Truman the first bill that calls on almost every American to help pay for the rearmament program. President Truman has told friends he is pleased with the bill, and he is expected to sign it quickly. It means that just a week from tomorrow the government will begin | taking one-fifth more taxes, after personal exemptions, out of all work- ing people’s pay. The more than 50,- 000,000 individual taxpayers will con- tribute almost $3,000,000,000 addi- tional a year, beginning Oct. 1. Taxes on individuals are increased 12 to 20 percent. E Corporations will pay an esti- mated $1,500,000,000 a year more. Their top tax on income is boosted from 38 percent to 45 percent.

Juveniles Charged Vagrancy Police Chief Warns Young- sters to Stay Off Streets at Night ‘Wandering around Juneau streets | at late night hours, after polmel warnings to go home, brought ten- ( day suspended jail sentences to three ' Juneau juvenile boys in City Magis- | trate’s court this morning. The charge was vagrancy. The lads pleaded guilty and admitted that they had no business on the streets at 3 o'clock in the morning. They had been warned by police officers on previous occasions and had been talked to in a friendly manner. City Magistrate Fred Eastaugh ex- plained the ordinance and told them the reason for prohibiting people from wandering around on the streets at late hours without any {reason for it. “Those are the people who get into trouble,” he said. He also pointed out that the suspended sentence would hold for one year and if they were picked up again, lit would be more serious for them. All of the boys admitted that they had homes. Two of them had quit school at the 6th and 8th grades, and one had stopped going to school during his second year of high school. None of them had been working but said they'd been fish- ing and expected to go out for the fall fishing soon. Police Chief Bernard Hulk today issued a warning to all Juneau youngstérs to stay off the streets at night, saying that they would be picked up for violation of the curfew if they had no business on the streets. . 3 COMMISSIONERS SWORN IN FOR SCHOOL SITE WORK Appointed by Judge George W.

AN The bear when skinned measured 11 feet from ncse to tail and 10 feet from one front paw to the! other. His footpads were exactly 12 inches long. “The skull measured 17 inches from nose to back,” Walker said. “Records are determined by skull dimensions, and the record book shows the largest grizzly killed previously had a skull measuring 16% inches. The skull will be sent to R. C. Reeve of Anchorage, Alaska, for official confirmation. Reeve is head of an American Museum of Natural History Commission check- ing on game records, Dr. Leavitt said. The bear weighed about pounds, Walker said. BLOOD TYPE PLAN TO START TUESDAY NIGHT IN SCHOOL Definite plans for the blood typ- ing program which will begin Tues- day evening were formulated yes- terday in the Red Cross office, ac- cording to the blood typing com- mittee, Mrs. J, H.

Addressing the Senate, Jenner .quoted the column as saying he was “put in the Senate” by “the former treasurer of the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana, Bob Lyons.” When Pearson heard about Jen- ner’s remarks he said the Senator apparently could dish out criticism but couldn’'t take it. Il tack because of the Senator’s crit- icism of Defense Secretary George Marshall. “This Drew Pearson,” Jenner said, “js a self-appointed, self-made, cross T'd, dotted I'd, double-docu- mented super-superlative, revolving S.0B.” Jenner said he considered the attack “a real achievement” since criticisms by Pearson “have gen- erally been reserved for Presidents of the United States.” “Think of it,” the Senator added, “two American Presidents were unable to find any other words to describe this propaganda-peddling prostitute than by calling him a S.0.B.” In a statement to reporters Pear- son later said: “After launching one of the most unfair attacks at General Marshall ever aimed at a public figure, call- ing him ‘a living lie’ and ‘a front man for traitors,’ Jenner now rants, raves ,and winces when his own oc- erations are exposed.

Mos- cow dispatches said the defenders of Seoul were in a bad way. The Red reinforcements joined three North Korean regiments and a "rehabilitation battalion,” the latter composed of troops who had been imprisoned for desertion and other military offenses. This bat- talion is expected to be sacrificed recklessly. Marine columns were driving on the capital of 1,000,000 inhabitants from the north and southwest as Allied forces on the southeastern front made their greatest gains of the war. JET PLANE C(OMPLETES LIMESTONE AIRFORCE BASE, Me., Sept. 23—P—An oil spattered Thunder Jet fighter plane here is proof the “Flame Throwers” can hop the Atlantic in one swoop—if they're refueled in flight. This one did yesterday, complet- ing the world’s first nonstop, inter- continental flight by a jet aircraft. A companion plane came to grief over Labrador, but its pilot para- chuted safely. Col. David C. Schilling flew his single engine F-84 fighter 3300 miles from Manston, England, to Limestone in ten hours and one minute. Headwinds kept the Fort Leaven- worth, Kans., World War Two ace from endangering the 1949 record set by a Pan American Airways Stratocruiser that flew 3,565 miles in nine hours, 16 minutes on a 110 mile tail wind. Schilling landed tired but happy at this northern Maine bomber base. He said “everything went per- fectly’ 'on his flight. Air Force officials in Washington said his flying mate, Lt. Col. Willlam D. Ritchie of Pine Bluff, Ark., had trouble refueling from a tanker plane over Goosebay, Lab., and ap- | parently didn't get enough fuel to | carry his ship through. A rescue helicopter from Goosc | Bay picked up Ritchie unhurt. Both veteran pilots were on a mis- | sion to give jet refueling techniques |an acid test. Air refueling already is standard | practice for bombers.

It carried nine passengers Anti-Commie Bill Causes Filibuster Die - Hard Senate Squad Opposes Vetoed Meas- ure More than 24 Hrs. WASHINGTON, Sept. 23—(P—A die-hard squad of Senators fought doggedly on, hour after hour, today against the Communist control bill denounced by President Truman. Their avowed hope was that word from the people will change the minds of colleagues bent on over- riding the Truman veto. The Senate talk carried over from a night-long session into the bright morning hours. The tense all-night session was dramatized by the collapse of Sena- tor Langer (R-ND) after he had held the floor more than five hours. Langer, after struggling to keep his feet, sagged to the floor and was carried out of the chamber on a stretcher. He was taken to Be- thesda Naval hospital. “Just plain exhaustion,” his doc- tor said, adding that the Senator appeared to be in no danger. At another point, Senator Douglas (D-TI) sobbed aloud while arguing against the bill. It was learned that several Sena- tors opposing the bill called the White House this morning seeking Presidential guidance. They were told to use’their own judgment— that it was up to them. Lehman, in one. of the time- consuming speeches by opponents of the measure, offered a vote at 3 pm., EST. Lehman said what his group wanted was a reasonable opportun- ity for Senators to study the veto message from the White House. He spoke of a vote at “a reasonable time this afternoon.” Lehman said what his Humphrey, getting ready to take over the talking chores later in the morning, told newsmen: “People will have had time to read their papers and listen to the radio, and maybe some Senators will have heard from them.” The Minnesotan, however, con- ceded that he had no real hope of U. 8. Infantrymen, driving south from the city and north toward it from the old Pusan corner of the peninsula, fought'within 85 air miles of each other. A US. intelligence officer said elements of the Korean Communist Ninth ion, which previously had fought the U.S. 26th Division on the southern sector near Haman, reached Seoul Friday. before U.8. Seventh Division troops seised Suwon and its afrfield, 20 miles south of Seoul, Friday evening. The northern prong of the drive on Seoul, including South Korean Marines, was in the capital’s out- skirts within two miles of the heart of the city, Assoclated Press Corre- spondent Relman Morin reported. The southwest arm took the bat- tered suburb of Yongdungpo, on the south banks of the Han river, and pushed on. Red disorders within Seoul were reported increasing. Refugees said people were refusing to work or tight for the Communists and as & result scores were being shot. Thousands of Communists in the southeast sector were facing a trap by the swiftly advancing Allied troops, 5000 already having been cut off. Low-flying planes harassed them in good weather. But some of the planes made the tragic mistake of attacking friendly troops. Associated Press Photogra- pher Gene Herrick reported Ameri- can planes inadvertently strafed and fire bombed elements of the British 27th Brigade. Gen. MacArthur’s summary, cov- ering operations up to Friday mid- night, sald United Nptions forces on all fronts inflic 5920 Red casualties and captured 685. A Pravda correspondent in Korea reported to Moscow that the “situ- ation is very serious in Seoul.” He said brigades of workers are using cement, street car rails, stones and beams to build barricades' in the threatened city. He said pillboxes and tank points dot Seoul. SECY, OF INTERIOR APOINTS FELKNER FOR EXLUTNA JoB WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 — (B — Secretary of the Interior Chapman appointed Byron G.
