This analysis of the statehood p: esting to us in Alaska as to any one of the more than half a million New York Times subscribers who read this nationally circulated newspaper, to publish herewith: During a recent visit to Alaska strong proponent of statehood. He did not lead with his chin by repeating any of the ballyhoo line that statehood will bring Alaska many ind prosperity and also greatly strengthen the nationa defense. Those arguments are for people not acquainted with Alaska. argument was that statehood would Senators, who can, with their votes, gaining deals favorable to Alaska. value of Alaskan representation in the Senate by twi men whose primary function is to negotiate pork be no cha barrel deals is questionable. Some hollow talk has been offered to the effect | chance, Al that with statehood capital will invest in Alaska. —— e g e e The Washinglon Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) G chigansei C LT %‘“&4 about it??” This time Millikin didn’t laugh. Nether did granite-faced Sen. Wal- ter George of Georgia and the other architects of the bill that ex- empts war profiteers. The Senators sat mum and defiant. There was another bitter blowup over the proposed withholding tax on stock dividends. This was aimed to capture an estimated 160 to 170 million dollars which Uncle Sam loses each year because stockholders fail to report dividends in income- tax returns, Again the Senators held back, though House conferees Bob Dough- ton of North Carolina, Jere Cooper of Tennessee, Wilbur Mills of Ark- ansas and Dingell strongly support- ed the withholding tax on dividends. George, who consistently battled for the top-bracket taxpayers in evry other phase of the bill, made the amazing argument that the di- vidend clause would discriminate against “poor widows.” “The government doesn’t withhold taxes on wages under $500 a year,” sermonized the Georgian. “Why tax the dividends of widows and people of moderate circumstances, which in many cases amount to less than $500 a year?” “That argument doesn’t hold water,” hit back Dingell. “The ob- ject of this amendment is not to hurt women of small incomes, but to compel the reporting in income returns of about a billion dollars a year in dividends that escape tax- dtion. Failure to report these divi- dends is a violation of the law, “Furthermore, despite what you say, working people with wages under $500 a year sometimes are taxed. A Detroit auto worker may work only one week in a year, but a portion of that week's wages 1s nontheless withheld by the govern- ment.” GOP Rep. Dan Reed of Dunkir! N. Y., sided with the Senator however, and the big-bracket tax- payers had a majority, Note—other Senate tax ‘confer- ees were Byrd of Virginia and Connally of Texas, Democrats; and Butler of Nebraska, Republican. Of them, only Senator Connally fought for the little taxpayer. Combats Communism i VFW Congressional witch-hunters who | smear innocent people could take a lesson ifrom an “American way”’ campaign which the Veterans' of Foreign Wars has launched against Communism, The VFW campaign stresses “community service” to combat conditions on which for- eign “isms” thrive—proverty, un- employment, illiteracy As the VFW’'s new commander, Charles C.

Hidden A-Bomb?? Beauteous, blonde Evie Robert, wife of the ex-treasurer of the Democratic National —Committee, has her own notions about the pro- bability of an atomic bombing of the nation’s capital. “The attack,” says Evie, “will come at about 2:30 p.m., when most of the bureaucrats and gov- ernment executives are at their desks, stuffed with a big lunch and feeling drowsy. “The Russians won't take the trouble to bring an atom bomb over here by plane. Theyll bring in the parts in suitcases, and put it together right in their embassy on 16th Street. In fact; they've probably got one there fight now. Then, they’ll all leave town, ex- cept for a clerk wholl have the job of setting off the bomb.” Mrs. Robert is conferring with J. Edgar Hoover about putting her daughter in a school in the center of Washington or in one outside Washington. 16 INBOUND; 16 OUT | : VIA PNA THURSDAY Sixteen passengers arrived in Ju- neau on Pacific Northern Airlines yesterday, From Anchorage: Eu- gene Maneman, James Miller, Geo.
