The Washington Merry - Go - Round Bv DREW PEARSON ICopyTisht, 1960, by Bell Syndicate, Inc. ASHINGTON Grim-faced leaders of small business, labor and farm co-operatives made a special plea against the basing point bill at a recent closed-door meeting with Democratic Chairman Bill Boyle. The session was opened with the blunt question: “Do you want a Republican Congress next year? One sure way is to let the Pres- ident sign the Basing Point bill. “If Mr, Truman's messages On small business mean anything,” continued gravel-voiced George Burger of the National Federation of Independent Business, “he’ll veto this bill. His program is absolutely worthless if this bill becomes law, and small business knows it.” “Farmers, consumers and small business will pay higher freight costs, if this bill is signed,” threw in Wallace Campbell of the co- operative league, Others in the delegation agreed vigorously. They were: Don Mont- gomery of’the United Auto Workers, George Fretas of the Retail Drug- gists, Ed Rowe of the United Wholesale Grocers and Willlam Marsh of the National Association of Retail Tire Dealers, Boyle ap- peared to be impressed that these groups, usually following separate paths, were lined up together. “How does it happen Democrat senators are doing all the hart work for this Republican bill?” asked Montgomery of the auto S (Continued on Page Four) INIPPONREDS DEFY PURGE; RUMORS FlY (By the Associated Press) Communist members of Parlia- ment in Tokyo fought back defi- antly today against what they called conspiracies to outlaw the Com- munist party in Japan. Fearing a further crackdown by occupation authorities, the 33 re- maining Communist Diet members issued a fighting statement. Already General MacArthur has purged 41 Red leaders from participation in public affairs. MacArthur warned yesterday that the Communist newspaper Akahata (Red Flag) may be closed or sub- jected to censorship if it does not change its tune. Akahata kept up 1 defiant tone. An Osaka newspaper, Chubu Nip- Jon, quoted one of Japan’s assistant ittorney generals as saying “the shird purge of the Communist sarty will begin late this week.” Rumors flew thick and fast. One said former Communist Secretary General Kyuichi Tokuda had fled from Japan with Soviet Lt. Gen. Zuzma Derevyanko. Another rumor ;aid all of the party’s purged Polit- buro members had escaped to Rus- sia. The stories seemed groundless GOVT. ECONOMIST INDICTED, PERJURY NEW YORK, June 8—/—William W. Remington, government econ- omist, was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury today on one perjury count for denying he ever was a member of the Communist party. The indictment was presented to Federal Judge John C. Clancey. It charged that when Remington was asked on May 25 whether hé 2ver had been a member of the Communist party, he-replied: “I never have been.” The Grand Jury charged that Remington’s answer was ‘“untrue in that the defendant had been a member of the Communist party.” In Washington Remington juickly issued a statement saying, “I am innocent.” ‘The 32-year-old Commerce De- partment economist had been ques- tioned once before by the grand jury. The Loyalty Review Board had cleared him after he was suspended from his job and he was reinstatea last October. * Remington and Michael E. Lee, who also held a $10,000 a year post in the Office of International Trade, were instructed by Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer last month to quit their positions or be fired. Both refused to quit. Elizabeth Bentley, who named Alger Hiss and Whittaker Chambers as Communist, charged in July. 1948, that she collected wartime secrets from Remington. He has consis- tently denied that he ever was a member of the Communist party. The next month Remington was suspended from his $10,000 a year job in the Commerce Department. When Miss Bentley repeated her charges on a television program Remington sued her and two co- defendants — the National Broad- casting Company and General Foods Corporation—for $100,000 libel. The suit was settled for a reported $10,000. Miss Bentley’s attorney said she “violently opposed” settlement of the suit. Last October the Loyalty Review Board cleared Remington of the disloyalty charge and he was rein- stated in his job. The special federal grand jury renewed an investigation of Rem- 'ington last month. On May 16 Remington’s divorced wife, Mrs. Ann Moos Femington of Alexandria, Va., spent nearly tive hours with the jury. FISHERMAN'S LUCK ASBURY ‘PARK, NJ., June 8— (P—Richard Hueth is a real fish- erman. He hooked a striped bass yester- day while fishing from an 18-foot sea wall near here. The line broke and rather than/ lose the fish Hueth jumped off the wall onto a hard sand strip. He broke one ankle and injured the heel of his other foot. Unable a walk, Heuth crawled into the surf, retrieved the end of the broken line and hung on. Finally someone noticed his plight | FEDERAL INCOMETAX FOR ALASKANS PUT |UNDER CHALLENGE Should Alaskans pay federal in- come taxes? Several officials of the Territory think not, because Alaska has no; representation in Congress; they point out that's how the United States got started: no taxation without representation. Neil Moore, deputy auditor for the Territory, recently fired a letter concerning this problem to the collector of internal revenue in Tacoma, Wash, and received a vague reply, not answering defi- nite questions which Moore put forth. Moore took his question to sev- eral attorneys employed by Alaska, and they said he “might have something there.” No one apparently ever hefore examined the problem enough to take it into legal channels, Moore said, but he intends to pursue the fight right up to the top, if need be. Moore bases his contention that Alaskans should be “exempt from not only wage withholding taxes, but corporation and other federal taxes as well, on the fact that Puerto Rico, also a Territory, pays only a few dollars to the Internal Revenue Department, appajently from channels with headquarters in the states. And she eletcs her own governor. In 1949, Alaska, with only slightly more than 110,000 population, paid $14,206,488 in personal income taxes, and a total of more than $18,000,000 in all federal taxes. But Puerto Ricans paid out only $31,975 in income taxes, with n | i | ! JUNEAU, ALASKA, THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1950 AGREEMENTS WITH IFAWA END DISPUTE SEATTLE, June 8 — (f — The Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc., and Local 3 of the CIO-International Fishermen and Allied Workers of America announced today they had reached an agreement and it was going to the union membership for ratification. At the same time an agreement was reached on rules and regula- tions for dispatching non-resident cannery workers to Alaska. Dis- patching is to begin Monday. ‘When the tentative agreement was reached District Judge John C. Bowen dismissed a case brought by the Pacific American Fisheries in an attempt to enjoin the union from picketing its Bellingham plant. Some 25 purse seine boats and 225 men were involved in dis- putes between employers and vari- ous working groups. The first of the purse seine boats was expected to sail for Alaska tonight, heading for the Alaska Peninsula and Mol- ler Bay. Robert Cummings, Secretary of Local 3, said pickets had been with- drawn from the industry's plants. Gains of about $100 per man were obtained by the seiners and the season was shortened five days. The union had asked an increase of 18 cents a fish in the price paid seiners. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS UP SEATTLE, June 8—(P—Agree- population of 2,150,000, three-quar-} iment was reached today between ters of them white, with the re-lsalmon Industry, state and union mainder native. Total amount ofofficials on rules to govern hiring taxes that rich little territory paid|of non-resident cannery workers tor was slightly more than $2,000,000, or around $1 per person. In Alaska the per capita tax approaches $18. Moore pointed out in his letter that Amendment 16 of the consti- tution allows imcome tax to be collected without a census being taken, but “nothing altered the law that people ‘must be repre- sented before they can be taxed.” Besides, Alaska was a Territory when the income law was first passed during the Wilson adminis- tration, and had nothing to say about it—like the 48 states did. A reply from S. J. Kalivas, con- feree for Collector Clark Squire, said in part: “Our reply is.based strictly on the Internal Revenue Code as to the broader implications of your letter, we suggest you contact your delegate in Congress who may be able to'give you the law's constitutionality as it applies to Alaska.” N Kalivas, after declaring the code included all territories, wound up with: “your contention that resi- dents of territories occupy the same status as citizens of possessions of the United States is erroneous.” Moore said apparently the law® application to Alaska was never tested before simply because no one gave it any thought—or if they 1id, they weren't legally trained. He means to carry the battle forward until a definite decision is reached—and as far as it looks now, he believes that Alaskans might be excused from income taxes. HALIBUT SELL FOR HIGHEST PRICE IN JUNEAU'S HISTORY| | | the Alaska Salmon Industry. The industry and union officials met with A. W. Burchill, represent- ing the state employment-security division and quickly worked out the rules and regulations. ‘The state agreed to operate a hiring hall for non-resident workers provided all groups can agree. Workers would be hired on a s*n- iority basis. Unions involved are Local International Longshoremen and ‘Warehousemen (CIO); Locai 77, United Packinghouse ‘Workers (CIO), and Alaska Fish Cannery Workers (AFL). All three are par- ticipating in today’s meeting. 3-YEAR DRAFT EXTENSION SENT T0 UPPER HOUSE WASHINGTON, June 8 —(®—A three-year extension of the peace- time Draft Act was recommendeo to the Senate today by lts Armed Services Committee The present Draft Act is due to expire June 24. The Senate bill would continue the President’s power to order act- ual inductions of youths between 18 and 26 "years if he found it necessary. It also includes an amendment by Senator Russell (D-Ga.) to re- quire racial segregation in' any of the Armed Services if this is re- quested in writing by any person drafted.

Two buyers dropped out of the bidding when the offers for med- fums and large approached 24 cents per pound. ' But Elton Eng- strom hung on, bidding against Alaska Coast Fisheries until that company offered 2445 cents for mediums, 24.35 cents for large, and 18.10 for chickens. 4 The load went to Alaska Coast Pisherles' at those prices.

Folta, was this morning literally “filled with fill.” The Juneau Independent School District inaugurated suit to obtain the property to erect a new grade school. Defendants are the Smith family and the Russian Greek Orthodox Church, which owns a portion of the property sought for the school. Francis Smith, his brother Ted, and their mother, Mrs. Frances Smith, were on the stand all morn- ing and some of the afternoon an- sweri questions concerning the amount of filled land on the prop- erty, when the fills were made, where, and how deep. Most of the property was filled with tailings from the Alaska Ju- negu Mine, with pilings driven prior 0 some portions. Judge Folta insisted the extent of the fill be determined, although both sons testified much of it was begun before their time. They were allowed to use hearsay evidence on /he factor. The extent of filling is important because all tidelands remain prop- erty of the federal government, al- though private individuals and firms may use it and make im- provements upon it. William L. Paul, Jr., is attorney for the Russian church. Although with the Smiths in fighting con- demnation by the school board, Paul necame involved in prolonged argu- nents with M. E. Monagle, repre- senting the Smiths, over a tract of land Paul alleged was “jumped” by she family when they rebuilt a fence 1 few years ago. Paul asked Ted Smith if records were available for transactions made over the years by the family in regard to the property. Monagle challenged him by charging he was on_a “fishing expedition” in looking for a claim against the estate. “He wants to prove that leases were made by the family,” said Monagle. Judge Folta suggested that re- cords of rent paymeats could be found among the family records, but Monagle objected it would take too long. He was ordered by the court to produce what records he could by tomorrow morning. Paul and the younger Smith went round-and-round for a while over these records, but eventually got back to the omnipresent “fill” situ- ation again. Both Smith sons took most of the morning drawing crayon marks on maps produced by both sides show- ing what extent of land had been filled, where certain roads lay, and other work done on the site. Mrs. Smith was to resume her testimony this afternoon. She is the guardian- of Sidney Smith, also a defendant in the case, and admin- istratrix of the estate. PLANE SURVIVORS READY FOR WORK IN SUGAR BEET FIELDS CHARLESTON, June 8—M—Re- cuperating from a soul-trying ex- perience in shark-infested waters, most of the Puerto Rican survivors of an Atlantic Ocean plane crash today made plans to continue on to their work in Michigan sugar beet fields. P Thirty-four of the migratory workers were brought here yester- day, after being picked up early Tuesday morning. Their plane, a C-46 owned by Westair Company of Seattle, Wash., crash landed 275 miles off Miami Monday night. There were 65 persons aboard. The pilot, Joe Halsey, Seattle, co- pilot and steward also were with those landed here yesterday by the U.S. Navy destroyed escort Saufley. Eight Puerto Ricans are Known dead.

MacArthur WASHINGTON, June 8 — ® — The United States told Russia today hat Gen. Douglas MacArthur has ull authority to parole Japanese onvicted of war crimes by Ameri- :an military or international tri- sunals. Moscow also was told that the Supreme Allied Commander has no ntention of actually reducing or \ltering the sentences of wartime Japanese leaders who were sen- senced to prison by the former in- ernational military tribunal. Eighteen Japanese sentenced by e international court are serving orison terms. MacArthur on May 7 ssued an order providing for pos- sible paroles for those convicted by the international tribunal and by esser American military courts. Grand Jury On Amerasia Investigation WASHINGTON, June 8 — (A — A Congressional source said today that a secret Federal Grand Jury is looking into the 1945 Amerasia :ase in New York. The source, who asked not to be named, said the Grand Jury has salled many of the witnesses who nave @ppeared before -a -Senate Committee which is looking into the secret documents case. Later, Senator Ferguson (R-Mich) 1lso told reporters he had been ‘re- liably informed” a grand jury in- juiry was under way. The Senate group is centering its attention on the question of whc delayed arrests in the affair. It is reported to have received secret testimony that the Ilate James V. Forrestal probably ad- vised delaying them. A source in close touch with the inquiry said Forrestal's name wa: mentioned by Assistant Attorney General James M. McInerney. The source asked not to be named. McInerney was on hand in New York today when the Grand Jury convened for an afternoon session. Asked if he would appear betore it and testify in the Amerasia case, McInerney replied: “No comment.” The Senate group also reportedly has heard a suggestion that James K. Vardaman, former Presidential aide, asked the delay. The commit- tee called Vardaman to a closed door session today. Vardaman already has told news- men that he never had a finger in the case; that he didn’t even know anything about it.

Anchorage when it reported to the court late last Monday accord- ing to passengers arriving here from the westward. The grand jury adjourned after reporting the indictments, subject to recall of 10 days notice. Two hundred and forty-four wit- nesses were heard during the ses- sion and it is known that most ot them appeared in connection with the investigation of alleged trusts. There was no indication as to who had been indicted in connection with the investigation. The third district court did not indicate when the indictments would be made public. At least one and possibly more ot the 11 indictments are known to be concerned with crimmnl.maucrs. (AB HITTING IRREGULARS; NEW LIMITS WASHINGTON, June 8 — ® — The Civil Aeronautics Board says it proposes to place sharp limits on frequency of service by the large irregular air carriers. A public notice on the proposai asserted such carriers—whose op- erating permits provide for irregular service only—will not be permitted to make more than eight tlights in the same direction between any two points in any four successive weeks. In addition the board proposes tc set a tighter limit of three flights in the same, direction during any four-week period between New York and Miami, Puerto Rico, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Detroit; and between Chicago and Los Angels, San Francisco, Seattle. Washington and Miami. The board said: “Any carrier desiring to give truly irregular service will find that this restriction will not hamper its op- erations.” Those interested in comsmentine on the plan were invited to submit statements by July 10. They will be examined prior to final action. The proposal stems from the board’s effort to prevent the ir- regular lines from operating reg- ularly in competition with the com- panies licénsed for regular routes. CAB last year put an end to the hlanket authority under which the irregular airlines were operating and began calling these lines in individually for licensing after examing their proposed services. Most of the individual cases thus far disposed of have included the restrictions on frequency of service now proposed for the {-regulars gen- erally. Drug Ring Reaps Riches Off 50,000 ‘Addids, Solons Told WASHINGTON, June 8 — ¥ — Senate mvesugawrs studied reports today that a powerful underworld ring is reaping riches from the mis- ery of at least 50,000 drug addicts. The reports came from Commis- sioner H. J. Anslinger of the US Narcotics Bureau. Anslinger’s force of 175 agents, some Senators say, is too small to cope with the situa- tion. Anslinger gave his estimate of the number of narcotics addicts to the special committee investigating crime and gambling. Chairman Kefauver (D-Tenmn) told reporters the number repre- sents those who buy narcotics il- legally—that is, from sources out~ side the medical world. Anslinger has given the Senate group a list of 800 persons who, he says, foom a criminal ring dealing in narcotics, crime and even murder. Kefauver said it is obvious mat the narcotics traffic extends every city of any size in the Umv.ed Btates.
