Thailand Becomes West's
Bulwark In Southeast
By CHARLES M. MCCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
Thailand is to become the bul-
wark of a new alignment against
Communist aggression in Southeast
Asia.
Indo-China, which was to have
been the bulwak, has become a se-
rious liability instead of an asset
thfftic free world.
Hence, the news that the United
States is embarking on an urgent
program of military aid for the
country of the sacred white ele-
phant is not surprising.
Peace-Loving People
The people of Thailand are light-
hearted and peace - loving. But
they have been thoroughly awak-
ened to the urgent menace of com-
munism in their corner of the
wor'd.
*i'hey have shown that they are
ready to light if necessary to stop
the spread of communism at then-
frontiers.
They have shown also that they
are ready to join in any united ac-
tion to fight Communist aggression
anywhere in East Asia.
Only two days after the start of
the Korean War in 1950, Thailand's

L. W. WHATLEY, Mgr.
announced that his country would
send troops to fight on the United
Nations side. The promise was car-
ried out promptly.
France Opposed Move
As far back as last August, Thai-
land's delegate to the UN, Prince
Wan Waithayakon, tried to get the
free world to take up the Indo-
China issue.
France angrily opposed any such
move, and the United States was
compelled to support France.
To France, the Indo-Chinese
Communist rebel threat was then
an internal matter. That is one rea-
son why the Allied position is
strengthened by the new move to
shift the anchor noint of its defense
alignment to Thailand.
Indo-China is colonial territory.
The unpleasant fact is that many
of its people prefer the Communist
rebels to the French. Thailand is
free and united. Its people have
something to fight for.
Important Figure
Handsome, smiling, friendly
Prince Wan is an increasingly im-
portant figure in the Southeast Asia
situation. On the opening day of
the current Far Eastern conference
in Geneva Wan urged that Indo-
China be taken up at once instead
of awaiting a decision on Korean
peace.
Wail's full name is Wan Waitha-
yakon Kremmon Nazadbap Bongs-
prebhand. lie explains that he is
called Wan Waithayakon for short.
He also mentions with a laugh that
he has only one wife compared to
the G7 of his grandfather King
Mongkut, of the knockout musical
comedy "The King and I."
Wan is 63. He adds to a charm-
ing personality a broad cultural
background. He was educated at
Oxford University in England and
in France. He has been rising in
his country's foreign service since
he entered it in 1917.

HELENA, Mont., July 19 — UP—
Political observers Monday rated
veteran Sen. James E. Murray a
good bet to win the Democratic
nomination for a fifth term in Tues-
day's Montana primary.
A light turnout was expected to
make the choice. A total of 283,(i51
persons were registered in the
state's 1.051 precincts, but only
half that number was expected to
vote.
Murray's opponents './ere Ray E.
Gullick, wealthy Jop.in rancher,
and Sam C. Feezell, former civil
service worker who gave up his
Washington job to run for Senate.
Neither has previous political ex-
perience in Montana.
On the Republican side, Rep.
Wesley A. D'Ewart was expected
to capture the GOP nomination
from Indian Chief Robert Yellow-
tail. D'Ewart gave up his seat in
the House to run for the Senate.
Yellowtail claims he will get the
vote o' Montana's 24,000 Indians,
but observers said (hat would be
insufficient to win.
ALINE MOSBY'S HOLLYWOOD
New Expansion Underway
In Fabulous Las Vegas
By ALINE MOSBY
LAS VEGAS, July 19—UP—The ,
newest addition of this hibulous
pleasure town is a boat on the des-
ert—complete with whistle, whir-
ring paddle wheel, artificial waves
and belching smokestacks.
The water beneath the prow is
ip a vancy U-shaped swimming
pool The waves you see through
the porthole - shaped windows are
only paintings, for "The Showboat"
is the latest of the new Las Vegas
hotels to try for a corner of that
$132 million left here by tourists
every 12 months.
"Every otner hotel stresses the j
desert, but ours sounds cool," ex-
plained Ruby Kolod, one of the
owners. "If we can get the custom-
ers seasick, we're a success."
1 The hull of the old-fashioned riv-
Bulky Tax Revision Bill Ready
To Be Presented To Congress
er boat hotel that's nearing com-
pletion extends into the swimming
pool to give you the idea of a ship
steaming onto the highway. The
decor inside will be like a "luxury
floating palace of the Mark Twain
era" with waitresses in bustles.
The boat whistle will blow when
somebody wins at bingo.
The showboal is only one of five
new hotels under construction on
the sand, including the nine-story I
Riviera. The existing seven hotels
have to pour more millions into
their castles-on-the-cactus to keep j
up with the boom.
The Desert Inn, which recently i
turned down a purchase offer of j
$9.5 million, is building 156 more j
rooms. The Sahara is adding 240, ;
the Sands 200 and the Last Fron- J
! tier 200. Alter its S4 million im- |
provement plan, the Last Frontier
will be re-named the New Fron-
. j tier.
There have been failures. Last
fall a $4.5 million race track open-
ened and closed with alarming rap-
idity. A small nightclub, the Patio,
folded last week because the own-
er made the fatal error of install-
ing enly one crap table. You need
at least three to average out the
odds.
Even in 110 degree heat tourists
| jammed the town Monday to hear
! entertainers suen as Frank Sinat-
! ra, Martha Raye, Patti Andrews,
I Ann Southern, and Terry Moore.
With nearly every American cele-
i brity who can totter booked as sa-
loon acts, the Desert Inn ran out
of ideas and imported a show fron.
London's Palladium.
But the stars are just "shills'
or the games of chance. There's
not one window or clock in a hote!
casino. So 24 hours a day you rob
the dice under the illusion it's al
ways Saturday night In the Sands
hotel 10 TV cameras grind awa}
from the ceiling so the bosses cai.
watch their TV screen for an;,
cheaters.
But behind the gayety are sonic
sides of Las Vegas the ehambei
of commerce hopes tourists don i
know about.

the girls, the gangsters).

| Father James Marquette was
buried twice. His first grave was

j died in 1675. Two years later; In-
dians removed the remains to St.
Ignace. Mich., where they were re
interred at t :e mission.
WASHINGTON, July 17 —UP—J
House and Senate tax writers have j
agreed on most provisions of a 900-
page tax revision bill which will
save the taxpayers some $1.3 bil-1
lion a year.
A Senate-House conference com- j
mittee still has three or four im-
portant questions to settle before
completing work on the compro-
mise measure. But the other 550
differences in the Senate and House
versions have been adjusted.
The committee recessed late Fri-
day to meet again early next week,
possibly Monday. At that time it
will take up the unsettled issues,
including whether to single out for
tax relief persons who receive in-
come from dividends.
Skips Thorny Question
The committee passed over that
question while settling less contro-
versial issues this week. Other pro-
posals still unsettled include spe-
cial tax consideration for U.S. cor-
porations doing business abroad,
and a Senate - approved proposal
to deny tax exemption to any foun-
dation or organization which tries
to influence any political cam-
paign, or which makes contribu-
tions to subversive persons or
groups.
On dividend tax relief, the house I
approved a plan under which per-
sons receiving dividend income |
could claim a tax credit against j
dividend income of 5 per cent this j
year and 10 per cent next year, i
The Senate eliminated all but the j
$50 exclusion.
Some of the important provisions |
already agreed on include:
Medical Expenses — Taxpayers i
will be permitted to deduct medi-
cal and dental expenses exceeding j
3 per cent of gross income, instead j
of 5 per cent as provided by pres-1
ent law.
Child Care — A working widow,
widower or divorced person, or a [
married couple with a combined
income of less than $4,500 a year, I
could deduct up to $600 a year for {
child-care expenses while the par-
ents work. A working woman or a
widower also could take a deduc-
tion of up to $600 for expenses in j
the care of any dependent who is j
mentally or physically incapable :
of caring for himself.
Retirement Income — The first
$1,200 of retirement income of per-
sons over 65 would be exempt from
income tax, with a maximum ex-
emption of $240. Persons who
retire under public retirement plans j
— school teachers, firemen, police- :
men and governmental: employes i
—could retire before 65 and still
get the $1,200 exemption.
Working Children — Children
earning more than $600 could still
be claimed as dependents by their j
parents if they are under 19, or if
they are attending school and the
parents contribute more than half
of their support.
Help to Surviving Spouse
Head of Household — A widow
or widower would be given the
full benefit of the advantages of
income splitting for two years after i
a spouse dies. But after that, the !
taxpayer would get only one-half ■
the benefit of income splitting.
Filinrz Date — The latest filing
date for federal income returns :
would he April 15 instead of March i
15.
Texas Estimates—Some one mil- ■
lion persons will be exempt from
filing income tax estimates in the j
future. Single persons with incomes ;
below $5,000 and couples wth a
combined income of less than $10,-
000 will be exempt if their income
is subject to withholding taxes.
Corporations — The corporate |
income tax rate would be continued j
at 52 per cent until April 1, 1955.
Without this change the rate would
be 47 per cent effective April 1,
1954.

The styling and engineering refine-
ments in a few cars have progressed
markedly in recent years. But some
cars have fallen behind. When the
manufacturers of such cars try to
"catch up" by introducing radically
different models ; : ; their current-
model cars will suffer greatly by com-
parison and lose a great deal of the
trade-in value they should retain
normally. <iii
Ford has been a leader in setting the
