High Taxes Are
Serious Problem
WASHINGTON, July 11
—(®—High taxes are “be
coming a serious problem”
to the incentive of both wage
earners and businessmen.
Sen. Ralph E. Flanders said
, today.
The Vermont Republican said
soaring taxation eventually may
'‘slow up the Increase in our stan
dard of living, which has always
come from risk investment."
Flanders, although doubting that
Congress would approve a retail
sales tax advocated by the Com
mittee for Economic Development,
generally accepted the plan of the
businessmen's organization.
I Formerly a CED spokesman be
fore congressional committees.
Flanders now is a member of the
Senate Finance Committee which
is hearing proposals for boosting
taxes.

3 More Red Jets Over Korea
Ruling Expected
In Lamm Hearing
Judge ,F. H. Brooks of Johnston
County Recorder’s Court told The
Daily Record this morning that he
will either order Carl Lamm, the
“Country Mayor” of Radio Station
WCKB, held for trial in Johnston
Superior Court on charges of as
sault with intent to commit rape,
or dismiss the attempted rape
charge and try him for assault on
a female.
The jurist, who reserved his rul
ing in the case after hearing evi
dence yesterday, said he planned
to read some additional law be
fore handing down a ruling.
He said there was a possibility
he might decide the matter this
afternoon, but that most likely he
will not announce his decision un
til next Tuesday, when another’
session of Johnston court will be
held.
Lamm is charged with an as
sault on Mrs. Delores Snipes, wife
of Policeman E. N. Snipes of Ben
son, and an assault on her with
intent to commit rape.
TO STUDY RULINGS
Judge Brooks declared follow
ing arguments by prosecution and
defense counsel that be did not
believe the State had made out a
case of probable cause on the rape
attempt count, but that he would
not make a final ruling until fur
ther study of the Supreme Court
ruling cited by both sides.
Judge Brooks refused, however,
to dismiss the charges against
Lamm. If the defendant is cleared
of the attempted rape charge, he
still will be tried for assualt on a
female, the Judge said this morn

The Jurist said he had agreed to
hear further arguments by attorn
eys on both sides before handing

BTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS,
Korea, July 11.—(UPl-Wanflaaeg
downed three Russian-built Jets to
day In the fifth straight day of air
combat over North Korea while UN
ground troops were held “on guard”
for any surprise offensive the beef
ed-up Red Army may spring.
Thirty Red MIG-15’s swarmed in
on 34 F-86 Sabrejets south of the
Yalu River on the Manchurian bor
der in the biggest air action since
the Communist pilots resumed their
vain efforts to block Allied attacks.
The battle shot from 33.000 feet
to 3,000 feet with blinding speed in
a number of wild dog fights lasting
20 minutes. Beneath the fighting
planes, 21 F-80 Shooting Stars
dumped napalm and 500-pound
bombs on a Communist ammunition
plant.
MAKES FOURTH KILL
Capt. Milton E. Nelson, Tarrant
City, Ala., downed one of the MIGS
today, his fourth kill—the biggest
score of any pilot now flying in
Korea.
One MIG was damaged in addi
tion to the three shot down, run
ning the U. S. airmen’s score for
five days to eight MIGS destroyed
and five damaged. No losses have
been reported by the U. S. airmen.
Gen. James A. Van Fleet, Bth
Army commander warned that
beefed-up Comihunist troops could
throw a heavy assault against UN
troops anywhere on the Korean
front and said his forces were ready
for anything that may come.
Van Fleet said there would be
no' let up in the Bth Army’s alert
until Communist sincerity for peace
is proved at the Kaesong confer
ence table.
The Chinese army “is capable
of launching a sizeable assault

Harriman Named j
Envoy To Iran '
TEHRAN, Iran, July 11.—(UP)— :
, Iran has accepted President Tru- ,
■ man's proposal to send his special
assistant, W. Averell Harriman, to '
’ Tehran to discuss the oil crisis, a
; high Iranian official said today.
I Senator Matin Daftari, chairman
of Iran's Oil Nationalization Board,
’ made the disclosure in an address
I to the Majlis (lower house of Par
, liament).
Truman forwarded a personal ap
peal to Premier Mohammed Mos
sadegh two days ago. In it, he of
: sered to send Harriman to talk over
• Mossadegh “this Immediate and
t pressing situation.”
, ASKS RECONSIDERATION
The President also asked Mossa
degh to reconsider his rejection of
. a World Court proposal for settling
. Iran's dispute with' Britain over na
t tlonalizing the British-owned An
, glo-Iranian Oil Company.
At the time Truman's appeal
[ was handed to the premier Mossa
t degh had said it had come “too
J late.”
Daftari also requested Majlis per
| mission to sell oil to Britain and
other Interested governments.
, “If no agreement la reached on
; the sale of our oil, we will have to
, shut down,” he said in an address
' considered slightly more moderate
than previous Iranian statements
, on the oil crisis.
f Britain has refused to recognize
: Iran’s title to the oil and undoubt
. edly would not agree, at least at
this time, to buy any of It.

'
Dean A. R. Burkot
Dean At Campbell
Marks 21st Year
BY JOHN FOLLETT
For A. R. Burkot, dean of Camp
bell College, the close of the sum
mer session this year will serve
as a milestone marking exacfly
half a lifetime of teaching. He
started in Pennsylvania when he
was Just 21. He is now 42.
Dean Burkot epitomizes the
American ideal of a chance for
everyone to better himself accord
ing to his brains and ability. He
was born in Kaska, a Pennsylvania
mining town. His parents were im
migrants from the same Polish
hamlet. Neither parent had much
formal education.
At the age of six months the
future educator was taken to Po
land by his mother, where he re
mained for three years. Thus his
first language was Polish, although
in his later childhood he was com
pletely bilingual, speaking Polish at
home. English in school. Incident
ally he completed eight grades of
public school In six years. He was
obviously a boy in a hurry to go
places. His travels started during
his high school years, when he had
to go eight miles each way every
day by trolley and train. He work
ed in a chain grocery store after
school and in the summer.
In 1925, through the influence of
the daughter of a local minister, he
entered Dickinson College at Car
lisle. Pa. She was his teacher of
Latin and European history at the
college.
EARNED HIS EDUCATION
In spite of part-time Jobs at
Carlisle, the burden of financing a
college education proved too severe,
and Burkot had to drop out for
the session of 1926-27. He returned
to his home town and went to
work in the night shift of the Le
high Coal and Navigation Co. for
36.40 a day. He had work for about
200 nights during the next 13 mon
ths, digging coal 600 feet below
