Halts New York
For 10 Minutes
NEW YORK, Nov. 28—Or—For
10 minutes today, New York's
8,000,000 people cringed in grim;
eerie silence beneath imaginary
atom bombs,
It was the first all-out air raid
practice since World .War 11.
And there won't be another
practice alert, The next—if it
comes—will be the real thing.
"A success;" 'Mayor Vincent R.
Impellitteri labled, the test.
The vast, teeming city became
a monument to fear within in
stants after the sirens wailed out
their warning at 10:33 a.m. (EST).
The great, pulsing roar of New
York faded abruptly,,then snap
ped off as though some 'giant
switch had beeri pulled.
Pigeons wheeled nervously
over deserted streets, the flap of
their wings clearly audible in the
silence. '
Silence was so coMplete that
the "click-click" of traffic lights
could be heard as they changed
from red to green and back again.'
From tier to tier of the Empire
State building's 102-story gran

shut with military precision' in
thousands of windows. Then the
office workers headed for shelter.
Macy's huge department store
cleared its first floor in five min

rival, Gimbel's, did the same
thing in three minutes.

DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Funds Asked
For State
Institutions
HARRISBURG, Nov. 28—(/P)--..-
-The Senate was asked today to
appropriate sufficient money to
meet overdue payments •to some
260 state-aided institutions, in
cluding hospictals.
Sen. Joseph J. Yosko (D-North
ampton) of f e r e d a resolution
urging the chamber to take "im
mediate action" to help the in
stitutions which he said are now
in "strapped financial circum
stances."
Gov. John S. Fine, acting on
the advice of the state justice
department, cut off state-aid
payments to all non-preferred in
stitutions last May 31, pending
passage of regular appropriation
bills. The bills have been held
because of the prolonged tax
deadlock.
Yosko also took issue with the
right of the Governor to with
hold funds to the institutions,
adding:
"The verbal opinion of the at
torney general was rendered only
as a subterfuge to •carry out the
threat of the Governor relative
to the withholding of funds in
order to create the financial sit
uation which now exists in these
institutions; the creation of the
existing financial situation was
intended as a means of exerting
pressure upon the members of
the Senate to vote for the pro
poSed income sax."
Tax Cut Asked
By Eisenhower
President Milton S. Eisenhow
er' declared yesterday that fed
eral taxation now approaches
true confiscation and a taxpay
er's revolt is developing against
federal expenditures which are
first felt on the local level.
In an address to 500 persons at
a convention of the Inter-State
Milk Producers Cooperdtive As
sociation, as reported by the As
sociated Press, the President said
"skyrocketing" federal expendi
tures must be cut. He believes
the wage-price spiral was due to
labor's dislike of wage controls
and the businessmen's reluctance
to accept price controls.
President Eisenhower also told
his audience, which included•rep
resentatives of 7,000 Pennsylvan
ia, Maryland,. New Jersey, and
Delaware dairy farmers, that the
farmers insistance on parity al
so contributed to the mounting
inflation.

Revenue Service Ousts
31 'Unsuitable' Employes
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28—(R)—A big broom swept through
the scandal-ridden Internal Revenue Service today and when the
dust had settled 31 "unsuitable" employes had been ousted from
jobs in 16 cities.
President Truman fired James G. Smith, San Francisco's tax
collector, for "failing to manage his office properly."
Revenue Commissioner John B.
Dunlap ousted 30 others, includ
ing nine deputy collectors. He
said 18 had been fired outright
and the rest forced to resign.
There were signs of more oust
ers to come. Several investiga
tions haven't been cleaned up yet,
and the cases of a number of .em
ployes under suspension still have
to be disposed of.
Today's housecleaning was the
biggest since Congress started to
dig several months ago into
charges of widespread graft, cor
ruption, . irregularities and in
efficiency in the nation's tax
collecting system. Smith and a
number of others let out today
I already were under suspension.
. Forty-nine officials and em
ployes have now been shown the
door. Three regional collectors
have been fired and three others
have resigned under fire.
General charges against those
dismissed today ranged from fal
sifying accounts to failure to co
operate in the investigation. The
charges included failure to ac
count for government funds, mis
appropriation of public property,
improper solicitation of taxpay
ers', improper business dealings
with taxpayers, and failure to re
port irregularities.
