THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. LXXIV., NO. 11,452 New Move Made In Hearing On C CRACKDOWN Poland Quifs ASIA NON-RED Alaska Labor STEP TAKEN TOWARD GRANTING SITE FOR TERRITORIAL BLDG. A major step toward construction of a new Territorial building here was taken by the City Couneil when it met in special session last night. Ordinance 327 (2) was read for the third time and adopted by the Council. The new ordinance calls for a special election at which city voters will ratify or reject the pro- posal to grant to the Territory “free and clear of leasehold interests” the city’s lots three and four, block seven, known as the Arctic Brother- hood Hall property, and to sell to the Territory for $60,000 the city's lots five and six—the City Hall property and the vacant lot adjoin- | ing it. No date was set for the special election at the meeting, but it was indicated that a date would be set at the regular council meeting Fri- day night. The special election date Wwill not be set less than 30 days trom the time the ordinance was passed! by the Council. Care will be taken so that the special election date will not be in conflict with the Territorial primary election, city of- ficials said. The new ordinance was passed following the receipt of a copy ot a resolution by the Territorial Board of Administration which stated its approval of the conditions laid down in the ordinance for the transfer of the property. Construction of a new Territorial Building was authorized by pro- visions of Chapter 105 of the Ses- sion Laws of Alaska for 1949.

The Washingion Merry - Go - Round (Copyrisht. 1950. by Bell Byndicate, Inc.) Bv DREW PEARSON WSHINGTON — President Tru- man-has been trying to persuade Gordon Gray, one of the best se- cretaries of the Army the War De- partment has seen, to remain on in Washington as chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission. Secretary Gray had agreed to be- come President of the University" of North Carolina. But the Presi- dent has explained to Gray that the Atomic Commission badly needs a chairman who has both public and Congressional confidence plus ability as an administrator, and has urged him to delay his return to North Carolina for at least one year. i Gray, one of the most popular secretaries in the history of the Army, is a North Carolina lawyer and publisher who entered the} Army as a buck private in World War IL | Cheaper Baby Oil House Ways and Means Demo- crats decided at a secret meeting; last week that the fairest for- mula for excise-tax reduction would | be an across-the-board cut on allj excise taxes of about 50 percent. Some of the more oppressive tax- es—on baby oils, etc.,—may be cut more or eliminated entirely. How- ever, the 50 percent reduction av- erage will prevail in most cases. Complexity ‘of the committee’s job was illustrated by Rep. John Dingell of Michigan when he in- quired if talcum powder was in a different category from baby oil, ——= JUNEAU, ALASKA, WEDN HALF MILLION POOL FORTAX INFORMATION By Charles Molony WASHINGTON, March 15—®P— The Government trained its guns today on tax dodgers—past and future alike—as it came up to the 1949 income tax payment deadline at midnight tonight. To get help in bringing to light new evasion attempts, it dangled before prospective tax informers a $500,000 pool of funds available this year for evidence uncovering tax frauds. To mop up on cases involving in- come amassed in the big war pro- fit year of 1943, it asked grand juries over the country to rush indictments today lest the law’s time-lapse bar further action. An indictment, or some other form of action such as the filing of a bill of complaint, has to be in the record by midnight to get with- in the time limit as to 1943 returns. As for informers, they will have a chance to ring up a record haul this year for the third year in a row. There are more than 40,000,000 persons subject to the Federal In- come tax. How many will try to cut corners is just a guess. Last year was a big year for in- formers—and the government. The government paid out $499,984 to 97 informers, in rewards rang- ing from $25.86 to $47,072, for aid that led to the recovery of $8,187,914 in taxes that otherwise would have escaped detection. That completely overshadowed the previous record tallied in 1948, when informer rewards totaled $99,- 975 and led to recoveries totaling $2,351,000. AIR DEMONSTRATION BY U.S. ININDOCHINA TO BOLSTER NATION SAIGON, Indochina, March 15-- (M—Warships and carrier planes of the U. S. Seventh Fleet will visit Indochina tomorrow. This s con- sidered a declaration of American interest in southeast Asia and a gesture of support for the new French sponsored state of Vietnam. American official quarters said this naval demonstration will serve a warning to Russia and Commun- ist China of the United States con- cern over the future of southeast Asia, and will ease somewhat Viet- namese concern over the presence of Chinese Communist armies on Vietnam’s northern frontier. The naval visit i intended to bolster the “face” of Bao Dali’s Vietnamese government in its strug- gle to attract Nationalist supporters away from the Communist led Viet- nam forces. An American mission to survey the economic needs of southeast Asia which arrived here on March 6 also worked in this direction. The mission, headed by R. A. Griftin, California puklisher, plans to tele- graph its recommendations on In- dochina to Washington tomorrow. The two American destroyers KSticl:,weu and Anderson were slated to enter the mouth of Saigon River adjacent Cap Saint Jacques early tomorrow morning. The aircraft carrier Boxer wil remain aoout 60 miles off Cap Saint Jacques with its two destroyer es- corts Buck and Thomason and will put on air shows tomorrow ahd Friday.

HEADS SET Alaska Department of Fisheries officials and salmon trollers throughout Southeast Alaska will get together in a series of meetings to discuss the department’s tuture biological research program. ‘The first meeting will be held tonight in Wrangell, C. L. Ander-| son, director of the department said this morning. He and Robert R, Parker, fishery biologist recently employed by the department, left by air for Wrangell later today. A similar series of conferences with black cod fishermen has re- cently been completed. The following tentative schedule for other meetings has been set up: Petersburg, March 16; Juneau, March 21; Sitka, March 22 or 23; Ketchikan, April 5; and Craig, April 6. Anderson stated the purpose of these meetings is to get acquainted with the fishermen, to gather infor- mation and ideas on troll salmon from the men who are actively en- gaged in the troll salmon fishery; to inform them of the work now be- ing done by The coastal states and British Columbia; and to present a general outline of the future re- search program of the Alaska De- partment of Fisheries. The troll salmon research, as well as that on black cod, will be in charge of Parker and Walter Kirk- ness, an experienced biologist, who will arrive about April 1. Both ot | these men, who formerly worked under Anderson when he was direc- | tor of the Washington State De- partment of Fisheries, have re- signed from that agency to accept permanent positions with the Ter- ritory of Alaska. EARTHQUAKES JAR MORE THAN HOMES IN U. W. OPINIONS! SEATTLE, March 15—Is the Pa- cific northwest headed for more bone-jarring earthquakes? Yes, says one University of Wash- ington professor who made a study of the quake which rocked this region loose from its chimneys last April 13. i It’s impossible to say, another earthquake authority at the Uni- solutely cannot can do that. The gloomy view is taken by Prof. Alfred L. Miller of the Civil Engineering Department and chair- man of the Earthquake Committee of the Pacific Northwest Contfer- ence of the American Society of Civil Engineers. His committee issued a state- ment today urging the adoption of a building code which would cope with the earthquake potential of this area. “Studies demonstrate conclusive- ly,” the committee statement said, “that earthquakes are normal nat- predict; nobody be expected from time to time with equal or greater severity than those of record in the 109 years ot documented history.” Geology professor Howard Coombs, | who is considered one of the most earthquake-conscious and informed men on the campus, is “sorry that such a statement has been made.” “Nobody knows whether we will have equal or greater earthquakes,” he said, “I don’t care who they are. The only thing we have to go on is the past record.” LUTHERAN LENTEN HOUR CHANGED THURSDAY Due to the artist’s concert on Thursday evening the hour for the Lutheran lenten service will be ad- vanced to 7:30 o'clock for this week only.

Its angry chairman, Edwin C. Johnson (D-Colo), was in the di- rector’s chair. Johnson, who erupted in the Sen- ate yesterday about the Ingrid Bergman-Roberto Rossellini g~ mance, told a reporter the motion picture Industry is going to be called on the carpet to explain why the morals of some of its stars aren’t better. “I'm not a prude or a Puritan,” Johnson said. “But it seems to me the industry is getting to the peint where all an actor has to do is get arrested for something or get messed up in some immoral atfair and stardom is guaranteed.” The Motion Picture Producers Association fired back in a state- ment that Hollywood has no more than its share of people who violate the moral code. It said further that Johnson'’s proposed method of at- tacking the sitvation would menace American freedom and was “a po- lice state bill.” Johnson proposed crack-down leg- islation under which every Ameri- can actor and producer would have to be licensed by a Commerce De- partment Bureau and a $10,000 per~ mit obtained for interstate ship- ment of every motion picture. Actors and producers could be denied licenses if they had been convicted on morals charges or ad- mitted committing acts “constitu- ting the essential elements of a crime involving moral turpitud » —_— 46 REFUSE T0 PAY THEIR INCOME TAX i3 LS WILMINGTON, O., March 15- rm' —The Rev.

It said the reason was Po- 1d’s rejection of “the so-called | Marshall Plan which had as its aim | the subordination of Europe to the United States and the rebuilding of the war potential of Germany.” Camille Gutt, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, announced Poland's .with- drawal from membership in it. The Bank announced the Polish letter had been referred to its board of directors and that a reply would be made “in due course.” It made no further comment. Poland’s withdrawal from the two institutions marked the end of one more of the formal ties| between western nations and the | countries behind the Soviet “Iron; Curtain.” A spokesman for the Czech Em- bassy indicated his government might follow Poland’s example and resign too, 'WASHINGTON VOTES |OUT INCUMBENTS IN ISTATE ELECTIONS Sealfl Changes Coundil- | men-Results Given on Various Proposals (By the Associated Press) ‘Washington State voters followed the policy of “out with the old, in with the new” yesterday.

GETU.S. AID Secrefary of State Acheson Makes Major Foreign | Policy Statement SAN FRANCISCO, March 15--#| —Secretary of State Acheson today promised Asia’s non-Communist countries limited assistance in their | struggle to resist “Soviet-Commu- nist Imperialism” in the Far Fast. The assistance would cover mm-} tary, financial and technical aid. | The limitations Acheson specitied are that “the aid we extend must be of a kind appropriate to the par- | ticular situation; it must be titted | into the responsibilities of others, and it must be within the prudent capabilities of our own resources.” | At the same time Acheson said | the Chinese people will be hnnded‘ for “grave trouble” if their Com- munist rulers lead them into “ng-i gressive or subversive adventures” against neighboring countries. | Declaring that the Reds may use | China as a base for new thrusts, ! Acheson said they would vmluwi the United Nations charter and| “would violate the peace which the, charter was designed to preserve.” In a major foreign policy speech | prepared for San Francisco’s Com- | monwealth Club, Acheson also: 1. Declared the United States| ready to trade with China on a féir | basis but not to sell the Chinese | “goods which may be used to harm | us.” 2.

The She asks the divorce on grounds | of incompatability, and asks that her maiden name, Eleanor Mar- garet Murray, be restored. She listed in the complaint all property in their possession dunng] marriage, and property owned by | each before their marriage in Feb- ruary, 1946. An approximate value was placed on the larger items. Among these was a fishing boat | and gear, valued at about $3.000,] plus a 1936 pickup truck, valued at | around $200, owned by the husband before marriage. She states in her| complaint “That plaintiff believes | it would be equitable and just for the court to award to the defendant his fishing boat and gear, and the | pick-up truck;.and to award to the | plaintiff all her personal effects and all her property prior to mar-| riage; and also to award to the| plaintiff . . . the house and lot, the | plaintiff to assume the mortgage, | or in lieu of the . . . house and lot, | the sum of $3,000.” “ She reviewed in her suit that the home was partly owned by Kobbi- vick prior to their marriage, and | was valued at about $6,000. BShe states that she did considerable | s work herself to improve the prop- | erty and enhance the value, and| that it now is valued at approxi- mately $7,500. The husband con- tinues to live there, she said, and she was compelled to leave. They separated March 9. The story in The Empire said that Mrs. Kobblvick asked the court for the fishing boat and the truck. This was in error, as shown above. from Vancouver Saturday.

Service back from India to testify personally mn a departmental ‘review of his loyalty record. Service, a veteran diplomatic of- ficer, was among four department employees charged yesterday by Senator McCarthy (R-Wis) as being pro-Communist. His recall was ordered on recom- mendation of the Civil Service loy- alty review board. Tt said the State Department’s own previous investi- 7ation of Service should have in- cluded his personal appearance. Press Officer Lincoln White told reporters the recommendation does ~ not mean Service is “under any new suspicion.” “We assume the board thinks that Mr. Service should have an oppor- tunity to speak for himself,” White ald. Shortly before, Senator Tydings (D-Md) said the Senate investiga- tors expect to get State Department files on the persons accused by McCarthy of Communist leanings. He told a news conference that John E. Peurfoy, Deputy Under- ‘ecretary of State, had indicated to him that the files will be made available. Tydings is chairman of a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee which is. investigating McCarthy's contentions that Communists have infiltrated the department. In four days of committee hear- ings, McCarthy has named nine in- dividuals he called subversive or bad security risks. He also has handed the committee a list of 25 other State Department employees he said are apparently bad risks. The State Department has de- clared that all those named publicly by McCarthy—if they ever worked for the Department—were thor- oughly investigated and found to be loyal. Some of those he named never were State Department employees. RUSS SPY OFF FOR HOME, HE INFORMS COURT; NO APPEAL NEW YORK, March 15—#—Con- victed spy Valentin A.
