PAGE EIGHT =™ — THE DAILY ALASKA © ALASKA 5 FILES INJUNCTION SUIT ON INCOME TAX Steamship Company today filed an injunction suit in District Court to enjoin the Tax Commissioner of Alaska from col- | Jecting income taxes withheld from| the pay of the crews of vessels op- | erating between Seattle and Alaska. The complaint alleges that the District Court for the Western Dis- | trict of Washington has enjoined the company from payment to the| Territory of taxes withheld under the Alaska Net Income Tax Act, but that this court order, although | binding the company in Seattle, is no protection to the company in Alaska where the Tax Commissioner | could take action against the com- pany’s property to collect the tax- es The Washington court had order- ed the withheld taxes to be placed in a special trust fund pending a de- termination of the validity of the act by the court in Seattle. i The company further alleges that it has been withholding such taxes since January 31, 1949, but was unable to pay the same to the Territory because of the temporary injunction issued in Seattle. The complaint asks for a hearing on whether a temporary injunc- tion should be issued, and the court has set April 22 for such hearing. When the case comes on fot fi- 1.al determination, the company re- guests that a permanent injunction be issued. Seven possible reasons for the invalidity of the act are alleged.

Li offered, in a message to Com- munist headquarters in Peiping, to se “burned in oil or dismembered” if it would help bring about peace. He said he had “no other wish but that of eliminating war .. . so that the people may be rescued from neir suffering.” ! The Reds poise a threat of send-) ing troops southward across the | Yangtze river, if the Nationalists do not come to terms.

BCG VACCINATIONS underway ITAIL SKI REVERSE HEADLESS ROOSTER, COUNCIL ACTS ON | PUTS FWS PLANE, BUT STILL ALIVE, I BONDS, FURNITURE, $2,000 CRACKUP Clarence J. Rhode, Alaska dlrec-é tor of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife| Service, sadly reports that the third | of the three Cessna airplanes ever used in Alaska figured in an acro- batic crackup resulting in serious damage, last week at McGrath. With only 40 hours' flying on it, |the F.W.S. Cessna Model 195 was damaged in an accident which left the pilot,. Leonard (Slim) Bragg, uninjured, but hurt the ship $2,000 worth. A tail ski reverse in flight caused the ship to ground loop while land- | ing on the McGrath runway, ac-| cording to Bragg, F.W.S. agent at McGrath and the only pilot to have flown the new airplane. The $18,000 airplane was purchased re- cently for use in the F.W.S. preda- tory centrol program. | | | | From preliminary estimates, it is| believed the damaged ship can be back in service, after repair, in 60 | days. | Meantime, two additional air- planes have been moved into the | Kuskokwim area, for the intensitied spring program in the Alaska| Peninsula_and Kuskokwim areas.
