NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, Wash. —— e SHE WON'T PAY | Vivien Kellems, one of the few woman indus- trialists in the United States, probably has just about | given the entire staff of the Department of Internal Revenue a nervous breakdown. She has informed the collectors that she doesn’t intend to pay her tax | and that's that Miss Kellems, 47 years old, manufacturer of cable grips for military use, twice has been named by the National Association of Manufacturers as the No. 1 woman in industry, and now she i probably getting | some more names from the Treasury Department. She calls upon business, both large and small, to “follow my example and put aside postwar reservesf out of their taxes.” | The Government, she says, “is adamant in its| refusal to let these men (war producers) lay aside a rserve so they may reconvert their plants to peace- time production and carry their workers through this period.” | think and act as partners in an enduring community |tions from $7,009,120,000 in 1942 to $10,355820,000 for | the first 11 months of 1943. More significant, however, | | markedly. They accounted for only 47 per cent of our | postwar reserve so she may continue the business which she has spent 16 years in building. And not only that, “but through a smart trick called ‘forgive- ness’ it tacked on an additional 25 percent.” She continues: ‘if this scheme is deliberate, ‘and I think it is, T would not be the daughter of my pioneer ancestors if I supinely submitted. If the scheme is not deliberate, but the inadvertent result of poor legislation, then I owe it to my country to point this fact out as forcibly as I can. “Therefore, I am not only withholding this money 50 that I may eontinue to manufacture tools for our boys who are fighting, and so I may continue to employ the people who are dependent upon this busi- ness, but I call upon all business, large and small, to follow my cxample and put aside postwar reserves out of their taxes.” Miss Kellems notes that the colonists ended a tax on tea by dumping it in Boston Harbor, and says: “this is a one-woman tea party, and I cordially invite you to put on your feathers and Indian war paint and join me.” Right now Mr. Morgenthau is busy putting over the Fourth War Loan Drive, but we imagine he will have something to say about this later. United Effort (Washington Post) Lend-lease, as the President’s thirteenth report to Congress demonstrates, is contributing in steadily growing volume to the common strength of the United Nations. But it is doing something else as well which is perhaps equally impotrant. It is | knitting the allied coalition into a real sense of lunion. It has helped very greatly to bring about | unified strategy, making the several United Nations of interest, rather than as mere temporary allies. As President Roosevelt put it in his letter of trans- mittal, “The lend-lease program has made stronger the ties that bind the United Nations together for | common victory and in common determination to assure a lasting peace.” We have stepped up our own lend-lease contribu- | than this over-all increase in volume is the fact that | the proportion of actual munitions of war has risen ! total lend-lease aid in 1942. Last year they comprised 61 per cent of the whole amount. The effects of this increase are being made unmistakably apparent all along the eastern frontiers of the Soviet Union and | in the air over Hitler's roofless dungeon. | This latest report on lend-lease activities takes| considerable pa to refute charges that American | aid has been distributed quixotically.

It is not, a favorable date for initiative. HEART AND HOME: Although many women have worked hard in war industries and Red Cross en- terprises, radical measures Will be needed to enlist still thousands of others who have not yet given their quotas of time and energy. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Stowk fluctuations may be expected as the financial world reflects war con- ditions. The defeat of Germany by midsummer, as predicted, should bring great activity of world mar- kets. NATIONAL ISSUES: Black market activities will be more ap- parent through this last month of winter. Illegal buyers and sellers will be prosecuted but chief offend- ers will escape. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Because 1944 has been called the year of crisis the United States is warned of aspects which presage too much optimism and consequent re- laxation of war effort. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of much pro- gress. Domestic upheavals are fore- told.

Then it would sometimes take a half hour, and almost shake the train to pieces, to get started again. He wanted to install radio equip- ment for communication between! the front locomotive and the caboose, and also between the ca- boose and way stations. This would | allow the engineer to ask for a! “pusher” and get it without stop- ping the train. But railroad officials were skep-' tical.

Late in the day, the stricken man told his physician, Rear Admiral C. R. Grayson, that he was ready to die. To start on its career as a floating industrial school for service to the Indian population of the Territory, the Bureau of Education’s ship Boxer was to leave Juneau in a day or so to pick up cadets from various Indian communities in this district. 8 i Defeating Douglas 14 to 12 in the most bitterly contested game of the basketball series being played at this time in Juneau, Wrangell the previous night walked off the A. B. Hall floor winners of the Southeast Alaska Interschool Hoop Tournament and with the right to represent those schools against Puget Sound institutions on a tour promoted by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. In the final standings Wrangell was first, Douglas was second, Juneau was third and Ketchikan, fourth. Beginning this night, the new Coliseum Theatre Orchestra was to be heard each night and it was announced that the group could be secured for dances by application to the director. The orchestra was composed of Vera Wyss, violinist; Mami Halm, pianist, and Harold Lowenstein, drummer, xylophonist and director. Earl Ellingen was at this time a day messenger at the U. S. Signal Corps, succeeding Billy Biggs who was expected to leave for the States. Weather report: High, 38; low, 36; rain.
