ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 American Buflding, Seattle, Wash, QUITE A TIME Lieut. Commdr. Thomas B. Klakring, who com- mands one of America’s undersea raiders that have been sinking Jap ships right under the noses of the Japanese Island’s big cities, has been having quite a time He seems to have solved the problem of keeping up the morale of his crew in a neat manner Interviewed in Honolulu recently, he told of sur- facing his periscope near a large Jap city one dull afternoon so that the members of his crew could watch a Jap horse race which was in progress. The men aboard the subs even placed bets on the ponies, although, Klakring adds regretf Jjust a little too far away to be sure which horse won.’ But he hasn't spent all of his time watching Jap horse races. He is credited with sinking eight large Jap ships, all in recent actions He bagged four of these ships in one battle, all within an hour, chasing the last one right into port to sink it. It was a large port with two steel mills. When the first two went down, taken out convoy in open water, Klakring said that one bow first, the other s first, “making a pretty sight” So he the take a something unusual Another way in which Klakring keeps his crew interested in what's going on is to give them a run- ning account of each battle. He has a microphone set up at the periscope and the officer who is direct- ing the action gives a blow-by-blow account which the crew gels over a loud speake Klakring s he like they are in port because in front of an audience. witnessed by numbers of Japs ashore. This account should be an answer to those who claim that we aren't carrying the fight to Japan. ‘we were of sank very look, a m let crew to s Jap ships while his men work much better Most of his sinkings were |scales Ih our rs SPEED It and that when is becoming more more apparent petter planes are built, Americans will build them, There was a time when the suddenness of the war made it necessary that we use old, out- dated planés against the Japs in the Pacific. Old planes were used in the Aleutians, and in | Philippines. Although we have no information about how thick our new equipment is spréad along the many fronts, we do know that our equipment is the best that has been produced. Army Air Force Commander Gen. “Hap” Arnold said recently that the Axis will soon feel the impact of some of America’s new secret aerial’ weapons One of these may be the new P-47 fighter manufactured by the Republic Aviation Corp The P-47, also known as the Thunderbolt just about that. In recent tests, it dived from 35,000 feet at a speed of 725 miles an hour. That is just 11 miles less than the rate at which sound travels at sea level. At the high altitude at which this speed was reached by the Thunderbolt, it was faster than sound The pilots who flew the two P-47's at this rate of speed said that they had full control of their mental faculties during the plunges. Reported to have been moving at a speed of 12 miles a minute, they reported that when they decided to pull out of planes, is | their dives, the pressure of the air on the tail sur- faces was so great that the sticks would not move. To flatten out, they resorted to the crank controlling | the elevator trim tabs. On practically all fronts, the superiority of the Allied forces in the air is responsible for tipping the faver. We have the planes and we have the pilots to fly them. It is interesting to note that the men who set these new speed records were ot veteran test pilots but 22-year-old youths, both former air cadets who trained in 1941. First Things in Taxes (New York Times) It now seems to be generally agreed that 'rrnksur}- will not move for Congressional considera- tion "of its proposed new $6,000,000,000 tax program | until some time next March, when there has been opportunity to observe the effects of the new $0,000,000,000 program recently enacted. This -should | not mean that no further progress is to be made | in the intervening months in preparing the neces- | sary improvements in our wartime financial program. In the closing days of the recent tax debate it was apparent that Treasury officials and members | of the Congressional tax committees were drawing closer to agreement on certain principles which had been actively discussed but not concluded in this year’s bill. One of these was the principle of com- pulsory savings, which the Treasury, after long re- | luctance, recognized to be inevitable when it pro- posed its spending tax. Another was the neces: of adopting some form of the “pay-as-you-go” idea for collecting taxes of the present magnitude. Sena- | tor George, chairman of the Senate Finance Com- | mittee, has now said that in his opinion any new tax program ought to be limited to these two idea: rather than directed toward another wholesale over- ! bauling of the-tax structure such as has taken place twice in the past twelve months. There is good sense in this. It may be neces- sary later to undertake further broad revisions of | taxes: but compulsory savings and “pay-as-you-go’ collections of income taxes have now become so clearly indicated that they should have first place on the tax calendar and should be dealt with without the complications of another wholesale revision of our tax laws. the the | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA HAPPY BIRTHDAY DECEMBER 21 Peter Carlson Dorothy Pumphry Mrs. J.
