Final Cruise For Presidential Yacht Mrs. Eisenhower Complains Os Noise WASHINGTON, UP — f Backstairs at the White Hotisei It’s a good thing for the navy that President Eisenhower has decided to put the Presidential yacht Williamsburg in mothballs. On Mrs. Eisenhower’s first—and only — cruise aboard the yacht, she complained she was kept lawake much of the night by a rattling lamp over her bed.; If the Williamsburg were to continue in White House service, a crew of machinists probably would be assigned to the noisy lamp. But as it is, the Williamsburg and the jangling bed lamp will go to mothballs unattended. There is ai theory in some quite biased naval circles that the Williamsburg could be kept in operation for at least another two years for the money it will cost to put her into retirement." y It cost >75,000 to operate the yacht during ex-President i Truman’s last year sh office. , The secret service, with its fine stock of purring limousines; absolutely would not let the President be hauled around colonial Williamsburg in a horse-drawn carriage. They remembered too well how in 1946 when Winston Churchill tried a horse-drawn tour, the horses flared and bucked at the blaze of photographers’ flashbulbs. Mr. Eisenhower was hip-deep in photographers during his Williarastographers during his Williamsburg visit. A black Lincoln convertible was considered more reliable.

An old navy chief, manning the rail of the presidential yacht as she was warped into the naval operating base at Norfolk, was asked from the dockside whether he felt sad about the. final presidential cruise. J "Ask my lawyer,” he growled with a wave toward James C. Hagerty, the President’s” press secretary. Waggish students at William and Marry college in Williamsburg, Va., watched the opulent procession of White House cars behind the President — most of the autos were borrowed from nearby dealers — and sang: “How much is that Packard in the showroom? “The one with the purty wire wheels?” ■ H I N.

Senator Urges Taxes Be Cut As Scheduled Recommends Ike, Congress Stick To p Present Tax Laws WASHINGTON UP— Sen. Ralph Flanders RVt. recommended day that President Eisenhower and congress stick to the present tax laws and let automatic tax cuts take place on schedule during the next year. - His recommendations ran counter to what many members of congress expect Mr. Eisenhower to propose when he meets with Republican congressional leaders Tuesday and delivers a nationwide radio speech Tuesday night. Mr. Eisenhower worked on the speech during a weekend cruirfe aboard the presidential yacht Williamsburg. White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said the address, to be carried by all major networks at 9:30 p.m,.. c.d.t., will deal with taxes and government spending, and their relationship to national security. Congressional speculation has reflected a predominant belief that he will ask Congress to extend the excess profits tax on corporations, now due to expire" June 30, for at least six months, f Flanders, a member of the Senate Finance Committee which handles tax legislation, said he would like to see excess profits levies die on schedule and an automatic tax cut of 10 percent for individuals go into effect Jan. 1 as the iiaw now provides. He said the 'average taxpayer is unaware of the “injustice” caused by the excess profits tax to small and growing business firms. i In the face of administration forecasts of another federal deficit next year; Flanders said he thinks the objective should be to ba’ance the “cash budget” for the fiscal year beginning next July IL. | I. The cash budget differs from the so-called administrative budget in that it includes such receipts as social security payroll taxes which are allotted to trust funds. Because these receipts exceed payments from the trust funds, the cash budget can be balanced | with federal spending about >3,000,000.000 higher than in a balanced administrative budget. “If the deficit in the cash budget can be cut to a couple of billion dollars,” Flanders said, “there is a possibility that business would be stimulated enough by the scheduled tax to make it worthwhile.” if a larger deficit is indicated, he would favor a congressional session this fall to study the possibility of “gettingjmore defense for less money.” ’ ! .

MixupOn Power Shutdown Here ' ’■ V ' 1 L. C. Pettibone, light and power superintendent, expressed displeasure today with the Moorehead Elec* trical Co., which he says is responsible for the power shutdown mixup that resulted in no power at 9 p.m. instead of 2 p.m., as planned. Pettibone said the connection was to go between the old plant, the one now used, and the diesei plant which will he used as an auxiliary once it is pressed into service. Pettibone said each and every part that came for the new installation didn’t fit, “right down to the knobs on the voltmeter,” asserted the power chief. The light chief kaid all the switchboard lines had to be traced out because of the misorientation of the parts. ; i Pettibone said that holes that were meant for connections had to be reamed out because they weren’t the fight size. He attributes the mistakes to the fact that the necessary changes I weren’t made by Moorehead. The first radio broadcast of a football game originated in Westville* Conn., when Franklin M. Doolittle described the 1921 YalePrinceton classic to some 150 amateur operators within a 60-mile radius of his home.

Secretary Weeks Is Speaker To Editors ; Indiana Republican Editors In Meeting INDIANAPOLIS UP ’ — The • little guy” never had it so good, secretary of commerce Sinclair Weeks told Indiana’s Republican editors Saturday night. He predicted ’'continued economic stability” Under the Eisenhower administration. The cabinet member’s talk topped a busy day at the Indiana Republican editorial association’s annual spring meeting. Other speakers included Rep. John V. Beamer R-Ind. Rep. Ralph Hartey R-lnd., Governor Craig,, and Dow Richardson, new president of the IKEA. I Weeks told the editors “one great accomplishment of pie new administration has been to knock into a cocked hat the moth-eaten scare talk that an (Eisenhower administration would mean an old fashioned depression.” < \ j "The administration has given t!he (public greater assurance as to national security and Economic stability than it has enpoyed In two decades,’ he said. “The little guy never had it better with money in a savings account, and more money coming from every pay envelope . . . His money now goes further in the \store . . . Reduced costs of government eventually rwill permit a tax cut” Weeks said some “business adjustments” could be expected later but he added thajt “long range prospects are excellent.” Beamer gave a large measure of credit (for the release of Hoosier newsman William N- Oatis to the “firm attitude in (the foreign field” of President Eisenhower and secretary <rf state John Foster Dulles. Beamer said Oatis’ release “shows the Iron Curtain countries are beginning to weaken just a ■bit.” Beamer, one of six Hoosier GOP congressmen at the luncheon, said Oatis’ hometown of Marion, Ind., •would stage a welcome-home celebration for him. Oatis, an Associated Press correspondent jailed on trumped-up spy changes, gained his freedom unexpectedly (when he was pardoned .’by Czechoslovakia President Antonin Zapotocky. - 1 I ’A bid for party unity featured Craig’s talk as reports persisted of friction between the governor and a party faction headed by Sens. William E. Jenner and Homer E. Capehart. “There iwill always. be disagreement among politicians,” Craig aaid. “’But no men in politicos should engage one another when it •hurts the party.” The governor omitted most of hi 8 prepared speech but promised to give Indiana a better state administration at less cost than the Democrats did. Report Four Deer Sighted On Sunday Three Decatur rural routers, Russell Plumley, Lisle Knittie and Henry Lehrman, reported today seeing four deer after returning from church Sunday. ' They had all gathered at the Knittie house and saw two does and two bucks not 500 feet away from them. The deer took a look and disappeared over a fence heading north.
