“Each of us has something to give to this world,” he said. “We have weaknesses, but we have strengths and possibilities, too'. We must get ourselves in perspective. You are you plus your potentials.”. Underworld Ring Is Uncovered By Group WASHINGTON (UP) — Sen.

Postpone Automatic Reduction Os Taxes Ts Doubts Reduction In Excise Taxes WASHINGTON (UP) — A treasury spokesman said today it apparently will be necessary to postpone automatic tax reductions on cigarets. beer, automobiles and certain other items for another year. * ' 1 Dan T. Smith, special assistant to Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey, made the statement at House Ways and Means subcommittee hearings on excise taxes. Under present law some excise

taxes are scheduled to drop automatically on April 1. The cigaret tax would be cut by 1 cent a pack and the tax on beer would go down $1 a barrel. The 10 per cent tax on new automobile would drop to 7 per cent and reductions also are scheduled for wine, liquor, trucks, buses and automotive equipment. The reductions, if allowed to become effective, would cost the government close to 900 million dollars a year in revenue. Congress, at the President’s request, has been extending the higher tax rates for several years on a year-to-year basis. ' Rep. Herman P. Eberharter (DPa) asked what position the administration would take next year. Smith sai<|it is a little early to say for sure but "it appears to us now that it will be necessary to ask for an extension.” “But the final decision," he said, “will not be made until the President presents his recommendations to Congress. ' Laetare Medal For General Gruenther SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UP)—The University of Notre Dame will confer its Laetare Medal for 1956 on Gen. Alfred Gruenther, former NATO commander, Dec. 4. , Gruenther, who recently retired as supreme Allied commander ifi Europe, will be the fourth military figure to get the medal which annually goes tj an outstanding American Catholic layman. Gruenther will become head of the American Red Cross when he retires from the Army at the end of this year. Muncie Couple Found Dead Os Poisoning MUNCIE, Ind. HP)—Roy Eppard, 77, and his wife of two years, Sadie, 82, were found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning Saturday in their Muncie home. Coroner Eugene Eissman said death was accidental. Fumes came from a defective stove near where the bodies were found seated in chairs, he said.

United States Widens Lead In Olympics MELBOURNE (UP)— Tall Tom Courtney of Livingston, N. J., a Yank who simply wouldn't be beaten, spurted from behind and won the Olympic 800-meter run in record time today as the U.S. widened its lead over Russia in the unofficial team race with three more gold medals in two sports. The Rev. Bob Richards of Laverne, Calif., retained his pole vault crown with an Olympic record leap of 14 feet, lU4 inches and weight-lifter Tommy Kono of Sacramento, Calif., won the light heavyweight title with two world records. However, one other American champion was dethroned. Cy Young of Modesto, Calif., lost his javelin title to husky Egil Danielsen of Norway who set a new world record of 281 feet, 2M» inches — nearly 40 feet past Young’s Olympic record and nearly seven feet past the world's previous best. Young was buried under an avalanche of others who broke his old record and failed to qualify for the final round. 10 Medals For Yanks The three gold medals in the afternoon boosted the U.S. total to 10 — seven in track — and put the Yanks out in front by a wide margin in the team race with a total of 157 points to Russia’s 97. Courtney’s tremendous victory in the 800, however, was the high point of the day for the 110,000 wildly cheering fans in the huge arena. The former Fordham flash had the race won, then almost lost it to a complete outsider, Derek Johnson of Great Britain, then came on again with a last moment sput to win by a stride in 1:47.7. Johnson was second, Audun Boysen of Norway was third, Arnie Sowell of Pittsburgh fourth, Michael Farrell of Great Britain

fifth and Lon Spurrier of Delano, Calif., was sixth. Courtney’s time bit a good-sized chunk off the Olympic record of 1:49.2 set by MaL Whitfield of the U.S. in 1948 and tied by Mai in ’52. Pole Vaulters Help Other contributors to the soaring American point total during the afternoon were Bob Gutowski of Lajolla, Calif., and George Mattos of Santa Cruz, Calif., who finished second and fourth in the pole vault; Isabelle Daniels of Jakin, Ga., who picked up a fourth in the women’s 100-meter dash won by Betty Cuthbert of Austral-, ia, and by weight-lifter Jim George of Akron, Ohio, with a third in the light heavyweight lift. In rowing, the U.S. qualified six of its seven crews including Yale's eight-oared shell for Tuesday’s rowing finals. The only crew eliminated today was the four oars with coxswain, a group from the West Side Rowing Gkib of Buffalo, N.Y. Upset by Australia and Canada in its debut last week, Yale’s plucky crew barged back with a semi-final victory over Australia, Russia and Japan in its heat today, eliminating the later two. Kelly Qualifies Handsome Jack Kelly of Philadelphia, on his third try to duplicate his father’s 1920 Olympic victory. qualified for the single sculls final. The American paired oars without coxswain, pairs with coxswain, double sculls, and fours without coxswain all qualified for the finals. In track preliminaries, defending champion Andy Stanfield of Jersey City, N.J., Thane Baker of Elkhart, Kan., and Bobby Morrow of San Benito, Tex., each won two heats in the 200 meters to qualify for Tuesday's semi-finals. Bill Dellinger of Sprjngfield, Ore., was the only qualifier at 5,000 meters. It took a desperate rally to save ihfe 800-meter medal for the U.S. but Courtney was equal to the ‘.ask. He was off the mark on top but was content to let Sowell set the pace as they headed intot he back stretch on the first of two laps and thereby apparently saved a nextra ounce he needed so sorely at the finish. Briton Springs Surprise It was Sowell, Courtney, Boysen and the unheralded Briton, Johnson, running in that order with Spurrier fifth on the back stretch >f the final lap. Heading into the turn, Courtney made his, bid for the lead and he ran shoulder to shoulder with Sowell as they straightened out for home. But midway down the stretch,

the amazing British star struck between the tw<? Yanks with a sudden spurt and grabbed the lead by a yard with less than 50 more to go. He seemed to have the gold medal within easy reach but Courtney wouldn’t quit. Husky Tom put on one last blast, caught Johnson and inched ahead by a stride as he hit the tape with his face contorted and arms flung high. Richards had little difficulty de-, defending his pole vault crown. He and Gutowski put on a two man show after darkhdrse George Roubanis of Greece went ’out at 14 feet, 10y< inches. The bar was raised to 14-1114, a fraction over the Olympic recordRichards set fout years ago and Gutowski went out. Richards, too, missed his first turn at that height but made it on the second through he brushed the bar as he floated across.
