VOLUME NUMBER 169 THREE Tax Cutting Efforts Face Likely Defeat In Senate Debate present corporation and major year. That action would send the measure to President Eisenhower well in advance of the June 30 date the levies would drop automatically.

The House already has passed the bill. Before debate began yesterday, one amendment had appeared to have a chance of adoption--a proposal to eliminate the 3 per cent freight tax and the 10 per cent levy on passenger travel. Administration Pressure But sponsors of this amendment conceded it had lost considerable ground because of combined pressure from the Eisenhower administration and Democratic and Republican Senate leaders against it. Before reaching it, the Senate considers an amendment by Sen. Pat McNamara (D-Mich) to end excise tax rates for another WASHINGTON (P- -The Senate appeared likely today to reject all tax cutting efforts and pass a bill to extend SECTIONS Police, Zookeepers Search for Orangutan LOS ANGELES (AP) Armed WAUSAU, WISCONSIN, police and banana-toting zookeepers searched the Hollywood hills through the night for Gus, an escaped orangutan.

The ape fled from Griffith arrow Zoo Wednesday half while his cage was being cleaned. Three carloads of police hunted the 65-pound beast along miles of roadways of the park. But 200- keepers said they doubted if the weapons would be needed. U.N.'s Dag Brings Hope To Embattled Lebanon BEIRUT, Lebanon (P- Hammerskjold arrived in of hope that he might end The international diplomat flew in at dawn from London and New York, His reputation in the Middie East for mediating ticklish quarrels gave Lebanese some hope he might succeed where others failed. The ridden country has endured 41 da days of fighting, bombing, shootings and strikes in an effort by opposition political factions to overthrow pro-Western President Camille Chamoun.

The people are thoroughly fed up and are looking for any solution that will end the trouble. Rebel leaders have promised a truce while Hammarskjold is here. A furious battle raged in Beirut yesterday, but government forces finally beat back the rebels and restored an uneasy quiet. After a brief rest at his hotel, Hammarskjold began talks with Norwegian Maj. Gen.

Odd Bull, former President Galo Plaza Lasvuof Ecuador and former Indian Ambassador to the U.N. Rejeswar Dayal the three leaders of the U.N. observation team ordered by the Security Council to watch out for any aid to the rebels from the neighboring United Arab Republic. As usual, Hammarskjold refused to comment to newsmen on his plans. There was speculation he might, after conferring with the Lebanese, go Cairo to talk with U.A.R.

President Nasser. Some 50 unarmed observers already are here to check Lebanon's 150-mile border with the Syrian province of the U.A.R. The Lebanese government feels, however, that observation is not enough. It decided Tuesday to ask Hammarskjold for a sizable body of troops similar to the U.N. Emergency Force which separates Israeli and Egyptian soldiers along their border.

Military experts here estimate that 5,000 troops would be needed to seal the rugged mountain border. Hammarskjold has sent out urgent requests to 14 small U.N. members for more observers but these still would be short of what the Lebanese government wants. Two Wittenberg Places Burglarized WITTENBERG Two Wittenberg business places were among a number of Shawano County business establishments to be burglarized last night or early this morning. Merchandise valued at between $50 and $75 and about $2 in change constituted the loot at the Service Station after entry was secured through the breaking of window.

About $4 or $5 in change and a quantity of cigarettes were stolen from the nearby Highway Garage, where a window was also The sheriff's department Shawano said today that several places in the City of Shawano and at Bowler were also burglarized last night. U.N. Committee Will Discuss Executions UNITED NATIONS (AP)U. N. Special Committee on Hungary will meet Friday to consider the situation arising out of the executions of former Premier Imre Nagy and others who held power in the 1956 uprising.

One possibility is a new condemnation of both the Soviet Union and the Soviet-dominated Hungarian regime of Janos Kadar. Acting under growing pressure from the United States and other countries, E. Ronald Walker of Australia, acting chairman of the five-member committee, disclosed today he had called a meeting of the group for Friday morning. Walker told newsmen Wednesday night he had received several requests for a meeting and that one would be arranged as soon as practicable. There was some talk that an emergency meeting of the 81-nation General Assembly might be called later to act on the report which the Special Committee will draft.

Composed of members from Denmark, Cyelon, Tunisia, Australia and Uruguay, the committee was established by the General Assembly in 1957. It found the Soviet Union guilty of "massive repression" in putting down the 1956 revolt in Hungary. The execution of Nagy and his associates brought immediate suggestions for a resumption of its inquiry. Another suggestion was for a public meeting to dramatize U.N. concern.

Previous meetings generally have been held in private. The United States has attempted to focus attention on Soviet tactics during the revolt whenever possible, and the U. S. delegation began pressing for a committee meeting soon after the executions were announced by Moscow this week. At his news conference yesterday, President Eisenhower said the executions clearly show that the Russians plan to pursue a policy of terrorism and intimidation.

Italy withdrew its ambassador to Budapest and also permission for Budapest to send a minister to Rome. Lower-ranking charges d'affaires remain in both capitals. Foreign Minister Giuseppe Pella said the government acted after starting consultations with Italy's NATO allies on joint action by the North Atlantic Treaty Nations. UAW Schedules Talks With Auto Big 3 DETROIT (P The United Auto Workers Union scheduled bargaining talks today with General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. Neither the companies nor the union had any comment following brief sessions yesterday.

Some 500,000 UAW members have been working without contracts at Big Three plants since June 1 as negotiations on new contracts continue. GM also is bargaining with the International Union of Electrical Workers, which represents 18,000 GM employes. They also are working without a contract. GOVERNOR VISITS WAUSAU GUARDSMEN Gov. Vernon Thomson found that these two Wausau National Guardsmen were sharpshooters yesterday when he inspected the rifle range at Camp McCoy, where Company 426th Infantry, is in training with Wisconsin's famed 32nd National Guard Division.

THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 19, 1958 EIGHT CENTS Republicans in Congress Bow to Ike's Decision to Retain Sherman Adams Secretary General Dag Beirut today, bringing a glimmer Lebanon's rebellion. Seeks Dem Nomination Ken Traeger, 56, a Gresham attorney formerly active as a Progressive Republican, today anI nounced he would seek the Democratic Party nomination for Congress from the Seventh District. Traeger, who unsuccessfully sought the Democratic Party nomination for Congress in 1954, is a native of Shawano. He was educated in the public schools Shawano, later attended 'St. Norbert's College, DePere, and graduated from Marquette University, Milwaukee, in 1924.

He practiced law at Ashland four years and opened his present office in Gresham in 1928. Traeger is married and the father of five children. Public offices held by Taeger include the presidency of the Village of Gresham for seven years and clerk of the school board for 11 years. He is also a director of the State of Gresham. In his announcement, Traeger said "I am not satisfied with the representation of this district in Congress and I don't think the people of the Seventh District are satisfied.

From day he was elected until it became unpopular, Mr. Laird supported Ezra Taft Benson and his disastrous farm policies. I believe the people of Central Wisconsin should have someone to represent them in Congress who puts dairy farmers and loggers on equal terms with dairy processors and plywood manufacturers." Suffers Injuries In Freak Accident worked loose from the truck of Ervin W. Zarnke, also 53, 520 Martin Ave. Arnke was driving his 1956 truck west on the highway when the outer of dual wheels on the rear of the truck first worked loose.

He was unaware the wheel was gone until the inner wheel also worked loose to cause him alto lose control of the truck and it went to the shoulder of the highway. "It sure happened fast" was Mikkelson's comment to investigating traffic officers. County police said there was no serious damage to the Arnke truck but estimated the damage to the front of Mikkelson's automobile at $130. Walter E. Mikkelson, 53, Pickerel, Forest County, is receiving treatment at the Memorial Hospital for minor injuries sustained early last evening in a freak accident on Highway 52 in the Town of Wausau.

The injured man was in an automobile east bound on the highway, about a mile east of the Wausau city limits, when it was struck by a wild running wheel that had But Many GOP Members Show Displeasure How They Voted WASHINGTON UP Wisconsenators split Wednesday sin's, Senate defeated 65-23 a tax bill amendment by Sen. Douglas (D-111) to reduce income, excise and small business taxes by six billion dollars. Sen. Proxmire (D) voted for the amend, Sen. Wiley (R) opposed.

the 10 per cent tax on automobile and halve a similar levy on trucks. Supporters held little hope it would be adopted. The Senate defeated 65-23 yesterday the first floor amendment -a proposal of Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill) for a six-billion-dollar tax cut to stimulate business in the recession.

Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va), floor manager for the bill, said this could lead to an 18-billiondollar federal deficit in the next year and require a boost the debt limit to 300 billion dollars. Sen. George A.

Smathers Fla), a chief backer of the transportation tax repealer, told newsmen that proposed amendment "is in grave danger." May Separate Amendment Smathers said an effort might be made to separate the two parts of the amendment. In that case, he predicted the freight tax repealer would get the biggest vote. The freight levy brings in about 470 millions of annual revenue, the passenger tax about 215 millions. Douglas, arguing for his broader proposal, said he believed the unemployment situation would grow worse in the next month. In such a situation, he said, "fail.

ure to cut taxes is a great act human folly." Byrd said adoption of the amendment probably would cause "terrific inflation." If an 18-billion-dollar deficit resulted next year, he added, "I doubt if any senator living on this floor will live to see a balanced budget again." OK Sale of WSAU-Radio The Federal Communications Commission has authorized the assignment of the license of radio station WSAU here to Mr. and Mrs. Duey E. Wright Sr. for $56,000, according to an Associated Press report today from Washington, D.C.

The Wright family, as previously announced, has purchased the transmitting equipment and broadcast frequency of 1400 kilocycles and plans to operate the station under the call letters WRIG. Included in the purchase are the present WSAU-Radio transmitter, transmitter building and radio antenna system located on Coates Lane. Downtown WSAU studios are not involved and the Wrights will have their studios over Wright's Music Store, 531 Third St. The sale is part of the FCC ruling to enable Wisconsin Valley Television operators of WSAUTV, to purchase Radio Station WOSA from Alvin E. 0'Konski Enterprises.

On completion of arrangements, WOSA will become WSAU-Radio, moving programing now available at 1400 kilocycles to the new 550 kilocycle location, yet retaining the most popular WOSA shows. The Wrights said WRIG will feature a music-type format and will operate on 250 watts of power, the same as WSAU-Radio is currently operating on. WSAU-Radio, at its new dial location of 550, will have 5,000 watts of power. Today's Chuckle A tall, stately girl is merely 8 long, lanky girl with money. WASHINGTON Republicans bowed today to President Eisenhower's decision to keep Sherman Adams on the job.

But many, GOP members made it plain they aren't happy about it. Republican state chairmen split over the question of Eisenhower's top aide. Some still insisted he should get out. Others supported Eisenhower's backing him. Many declined comment, but could agree with one of their number, Ray Bliss of Ohio, who said "I'm certain I'd rather it hadn't happened." But GOP National Chairman Meade Alcorn said at the close of the breakfast session that the Adams issue was not raised by either Record-Herald photo RIB MOUNTAIN SKI TOW RECEIPTS DELIVERED C.

Final Action Nears on Foreign Aid Compromise eign aid program is ready for Chairman Thomas E. Morgan (D-Pa) of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said today he will call up the authorization bill for a vote early next week, Passage there, and by the Senate later, would clear the way for a separate money bill to finance the spending for which the authorization bill sets terms and ceilings. The program recommended yesterday by Senate and House conferees is million dollars below President Eisenhower's request for military and economic help to friendly nations in the fiscal year starting bill still in House committee. Before finishing work on the authorization measure, the conferees dropped a Senate amendment aimed at halting use of nonmilitary aid funds for purchase abroad of Japanese textiles and other commodities in competition with American business. The conferees also eliminated a Senate provision which would have required publication of itemized expense accounts of every senator or representative spending U.S.owned foreign currencies on cial travels abroad.

They left in language requiring each committee member or employe who uses foreign currencies -obtained in the of surplus agricultural commodities abroadto make an itemized report to his committee chairman. This report of foreign currency spent. would show the dollar equivalents chairman would be required to publish consolidated reports showing the total itemized expenditures of the committee as a whole. The bill provides $1,605,000,000 for military assistance (planes and other hardware) to allies, for which Eisenhower sought 000,000. It also carries 810 million dollars of the 835 millions the President asked for defense supports.

(Neil) Harrington, Madison, veteran supervisor of forests and parks for the Wisconsin Conservation Department who is retiring July 1, left here following a meeting last evening with a check for $14,977 and a gift of luggage.

The check was not his. It was presented by Rib Mountain committee of then Chamber of Commerce to the Conservation Department as the department's share of receipts at the Rib Mountain Ski Area tows last season and was a new record high. The luggage was his and it represented the thanks of the committee man who has given many of his time and energy toyears development of Rib Mountain and other forests and parks throughout the Badger State. Superb Relations "Relations between this committee and Neil Harrington have been superb," declared Dr. Fred M.

Brand, a former committee chairman, in making the presentation. "Mr. Harrington has been a big factor in the successful development of recreational facilities at Rib Mountain." Noting that the goals have always been high and difficult to attain, Dr. Brand added "We of the committee are proud of having been associated with him and we wish him the best in his retirement years ahead." Leif Steiro, Trout Lake, northeast area supervisor of forests and parks, was also present revealed that Rib Mountain had a total of 221,450 visitors during the calendar year of 1957. He listed major improvements of the past year as additions to the shelter house, filling and seeding of the new lower east slope area of the ski hill, modernization See STATE, Page 10, Column 1 Missing Scientist Found Working as Horse Groom INGLEWOOD, Calif.

(AP)-One day six years ago Albert Clark Reed, a scientist at the California Institute of Technology, said goodby to his wife, patted his son's head, left home and disappeared. The FBI, police, family and friends were baffled. The trail led 50 miles east to San Bernardino, then grew cold. His wife, Florence, never gave up hope that he would return. Yesterday he was discovered working as a groom at Hollywood Park.

"I don't know why I left," he told newsmen. "I was still amhazy and confused. "The day I left I sold my car, took a bus and went to Phoenix, I got a job handling freight." Later he got a job handling horses and returned to California, working at various tracks. His identity was discovered through a routine fingerprint check. He was using the name Alfred C.

Reese. "I'm still stunned," he said, I'm getting to feel a gradual relief that I will no longer have to live with this secret." He spoke of his wife: "Oh, we quarreled occasionally, but that the President or his guests. Dem Political Issue In New York, Democratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler left no doubt the Democrats will make a major political issue out of Adams' dealings with industrialist Bernard Goldfine of Boston. As to Eisenhower's insistence on keeping Adams as his chief assistant, Butler added: "The President's own conduct makes him as morally responsible for this improper conduct as Mr.

Adams is himself." Adams has testified he accepted gifts and favors from Goldfine, a family friend, and also contacted two federal agencies studying complaints against Goldfine's companies. But he said there was no connection and he had no intent to win favored treatment for Goldfine. Eisenhower agreed with Adams' concession that he could have "acted a little more prudently," but said he admired and pected his chief aide for ability and integrity. "I need him," Eisenhower added. The consensus among the politicians here appeared to be that Eisenhower hadn't changed the situation much except for one aspect: The President made it impossible for Republican candidates for the House and Senate to disavow Adams and still ride the coattails of a president most of them would like to praise in campaign speeches.

Ike Backers Not Running Perhaps significantly, almost the only members of Congress volunteering a good word for Eisenhower's decision to keep Adams at his desk were those not up for re-election this year. Sen. Homer Capehart (R-Ind), who isn't running this year, said Eisenhower has all the facts on Adams "and I'm going along with the president." Sen. Everett Illinois, the assistant Republican leader, said in a separate interview that it was "the President's determination to make." Dirksen is not campaigning this year. Sen.

Reed, a Caltech graduate and World War II test pilot, was working as an aeronautical consultant on a secret project when he disappeared.

Police say there are no charges against him. Will he return to scientific work? "I don't know," he said. "I love horses, you know. They're wonderful, intelligent, sensible creatures. I enjoy working with them." Reed, balding and 51, was told his son, Timothy, 12, has been adopted by Mr.

and Mrs. Dudley B. Smith, Larchmont, N.Y. Smith, a patent attorney, is Mrs. Reed's cousin.

Reed chatted with the boy last night by phone. Reed later had a tearful reunion with his mother, Mrs. Cora Reed, of nearby Glendale. But his: homecoming also was marked by sadness. He learned that his wife died in December 1955 of cancer.

Investigation of burglaries in the Towns of Ringle and Weston today was occupying the attention of Sheriff Walter Wolf and Undersheriff Louis Gianoli. The Nead Truck on Highway 29 in the Town Services was entered apparently after 3:30 o'clock this morning with the loot including $13 in currency and $12 in change, a recently purchased McCaskey cash register and a sword that is a collector's item worth about $50. Sheriff Wolf said that the front door of the Nead place was forced open and that nothing in the garage and office other than the stolen itens was disturbed. A driver leaving the this morning at 3:30 o'clock the sheriff garage, everything was in order when he locked the building. Gianoli said that the home of Mrs.

James Kadelsky, a Town Ringle widow who is employed and lives in Schofield, was entered sometime between Monday noon and yesterday noon. The only item taken, the undersheriff said, was a 10-foot Westinghouse refrigerator with a current value of about $100..
